Remove all restrictions and transform into a bizarre girl.

Hearing Fang Anya's words, Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, then she looked down and sensed her own body.

There was indeed a faint trace of frost remaining, almost imperceptible unless you smelled it carefully, but Fang Anya was clearly not the kind of person who would overlook details.

Originally not wanting Fang Anya to worry, she could only say, "On the way here, we encountered a strange beetle of Sequence 7. We fought it, but we've already dealt with it."

"Sequence Seven!?"

Upon hearing Chen Nian's words, Fang Anya immediately became tense.

He quickly checked Chen Nian several times to make sure she wasn't injured before saying, "It's good that you're alright. How did that strange creature end up on the highway behind us?"

"Who knows? Maybe it slipped through from the front lines, or maybe it came around through some hidden passage. I've already had someone call the police, someone will verify it, anyway, it's none of my business."

Fang Anya nodded and didn't press further. She stood up and extended her hand to Chen Nian: "Let's go, let's eat first. You haven't tried the specialties of Base 991 yet, have you? Let me arrange it today."

"walk slowly!"

Chen Nian took her hand, stood up, patted the dust off her coat, and the two walked side by side along the sidewalk.

The streets of Base 991 are narrower than those of Base 996, but they are lined with evergreen holly trees that gleam with a glossy green in the grayish-white sunlight.

This kind of street looks much warmer than the 996 work schedule.

Neither of them rushed to speak, but maintained a comfortable pace as they walked along the winter street, occasionally their shoulders lightly touching before separating.

Fang Anya took her to a small restaurant hidden in an alley. The restaurant was small, but it was very popular, and there were already quite a few people eating inside.

They sat down in a corner by the window. Fang Anya ordered a few dishes, but Chen Nian didn't look at the menu. She just took off her coat and draped it over the back of her chair.

While waiting for the food, Fang Anya talked to Chen Nian about what would happen after graduation.

Although Fang Anya had a year more of schooling than Chen Nian, Fang Anya had a bachelor's degree, while Chen Nian had a junior college degree.

Therefore, their graduation time is the same, just three days later.

"Graduation is just a few days away, Niannian, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Hearing Fang Anya's words, Chen Nian paused for a moment, put down her chopsticks, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Time seems to be flying by. I was just going through the enrollment process yesterday, and today I'm already thinking about what will happen after graduation."

"Time flies faster than you think." Fang Anya picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into Chen Nian's bowl. "Especially when you get busy, it's like the days are on fast forward."

Chen Nian looked down at the piece of pork rib in her bowl and remained silent for two seconds. She hadn't really paid much attention to graduation; in the past two and a half years, she had been busy taking on missions, attending classes, training, cultivating, and helping Fang Anya collect gray coins for sequence seeds.

Her days were filled with all sorts of things, leaving almost no time to think about what to do after graduation. Now, suddenly hearing that there were only three days left, she realized that she had never seriously planned her post-graduation path.

She didn't answer, but instead looked up at Fang Anya and asked, "And you? What are your plans after graduation?"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Fang Anya smiled and said, "Me, of course I'll continue to the front line. The front line is the home of combat sequences like mine. Not only is it a fast way to make money, but more importantly, it won't bury the sequence seeds you worked so hard to save up for me. Only by killing monsters like crazy can we avoid wasting them."

Fang Anya spoke casually, but Chen Nian sensed the decision she had already made behind her words.

She watched as Fang Anya placed a piece of fish into her own bowl, her movements natural and without any deliberate emphasis.

Chen Nian smiled and said, "Just like I thought, I'm also preparing to go to the front lines."

"That's perfect, let's go together," Fang Anya said with a smile.

Clearly, she had already anticipated this answer.

When we came out of the small restaurant after finishing our meal, it was already completely dark, and the streetlights illuminated the streets brightly and warmly.

The nights at Base 991 are quieter than those at Base 996. Occasionally, a vehicle will drive by, its headlights drawing a flowing ribbon of light across the road before disappearing around the corner not far away.

The two walked back side by side, their pace neither fast nor slow. Their breaths, under the streetlights, resembled small clumps of cotton candy, slowly dissipating in the cold air.

She took Chen Nian back to school.

When Fang Anya pushed open the dormitory door, Chen Nian stood at the door and glanced inside.

The room was much more spacious than the college dormitory near the 996 work schedule. There were two desks side by side by the window, and the desks were clean and tidy, with only a desk lamp and a few stacked books.

The two beds were placed against the wall, and the sheets were a simple light gray, folded neatly.

The window was slightly ajar, and a cold breeze seeped in through the crack, causing the curtains to billow slightly before falling back down.

"Your roommate isn't here?" Chen Nian walked in and stood in front of the desk near the door.

"She's already gone to work at the base up ahead." Fang Anya hung up her coat. "So this room is basically all to myself now. You'll stay here tonight and keep my bed warm."

Chen Nian was about to bend down to put down her backpack when she heard the last two words and paused, then straightened up and looked at Fang Anya.

Fang Anya was hanging up her coat with a serious expression when Chen Nian rushed to her side and hugged her waist.

"You said it yourself," Chen Nian said cheekily.

Feeling Chen Nian's body temperature behind her, Fang Anya was stunned for a moment, then immediately tried to break free from her embrace, muttering, "I meant physically warming the bed, don't get the wrong idea."

Hearing Fang Anya's words, Chen Nian replied with a smile, "I wasn't thinking anything. I'll just follow the rules of physics tonight, hehehe..."

Fang Anya was hugged from behind, and she froze for a moment, her ears turning a visibly red.

She tried to pull herself forward, but Chen Nian's arms wrapped around her naturally, without any intention of restraining her. They were just loosely draped over her, like a lazy cat lying on a warm windowsill.

"Relax." Fang Anya's voice was lower than before, with a hint of feigned seriousness.

"No way." Chen Nian rested her chin on her shoulder, her tone matter-of-fact. "You asked me to warm the bed, so I have to warm you up first, otherwise how can the bed be warm?"

"That's a fallacy."

"Do you still want me to warm your bed?" Chen Nian said with a smile.

Perhaps sensing that the commotion had gone far enough, Fang Anya remained silent for two seconds before giving up the struggle and relaxing her shoulders slightly.

She looked down at the clasped hands around her waist, and instead of trying to pull away, she whispered, "Loosen your grip a little, it's squeezing my stomach."

"Oh, okay, then I'll loosen it a bit..."
