Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

People came, then they left.

They came again, and then they left.

After going around in circles and having a lot of trouble all night, I finally got around to it.

It's the same coffee shop.

Even Su Ming couldn't help but rub his temples.

He felt that too much had happened tonight, and his head was throbbing.

In contrast, Xu Qinghe had already concealed all her sharpness and sat quietly in her chair.

With her upright posture and gentle eyes, she transformed back into that impeccable, perfect young girl.

She thought that now that she was fully independent, it was time for her to shine and show her true colors.

I think so.

In the future, she will definitely want Su Ming to be proud of her.

What you want to do and what you want others to do are two different things.

But she was ultimately too young and too naive.

Cheng Yao alone taught her a vivid lesson.

Little sister, you need to practice cooking more.

He has a very strong ability to hear.

But once they know you have this ability, how much stronger can it really be?

Not to mention Wen Qi and Shen Wanyu, who are even more cunning and unpredictable.

All we can say is that we need to continue to reflect and wait patiently.

Patience and forbearance are Xu Qinghe's greatest strengths.

"You."

Su Ming looked up at the well-behaved girl sitting upright in her seat.

It feels like this guy has gone back to his docile and sensible self from 2012.

"Brother." Xu Qinghe bowed, her voice soft and apologetic, "I'm sorry, brother, I was too willful just now."

"I will definitely be a good boy and listen to my brother from now on."

After saying that, she smiled sweetly.

Su Ming frowned, leaning back in his chair with a headache.

"That's enough for today, go home and get some rest."

"Okay, brother." Xu Qinghe nodded obediently, pushed open the door of the coffee shop, and disappeared into the night.

The next morning.

Su Ming stood in front of the mirror at the washbasin, slowly and methodically fixing his clothes and hairstyle.

Today is the day he and Tangtang had agreed to meet.

The phone was placed flat on the washstand, and the hands-free mode was turned on. Zhou Zhengyang's voice came through.

"Your Majesty, we have mobilized all channels to sort out and manage Tangtang's first-tier interpersonal network, and relevant personnel are gradually gathering in Pingjiang City."

"The progress is going smoothly so far, but we cannot yet determine if any personnel have been missed."

Su Ming adjusted his hairstyle in front of the mirror, his tone indifferent: "Have you tallied the deaths?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then an immediate reply: "Your Majesty, we'll go and take the count right away."

Su Ming nodded: "Okay, I trust you to handle things."

After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Yu Mengnian standing at the door, raising an eyebrow: "How was it? Did I look handsome today?"

Yu Mengnian's lack of reaction was the best response.

After taking one last look at himself in the mirror, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction and casually instructed, "I'm going on a date with Tang Tang today."

"Don't follow me."

"Apart from me, all of you must avoid becoming Tangtang's primary network of connections."

When she turned around again, Yu Mengnian had already disappeared.

Su Ming pointed to the spot where she disappeared and warned her again, "Mengnian, you should still be careful."

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

I don't know if she'll listen to me.

Anyway, Su Ming has said everything he needed to say.

His plan was very clear.

Regardless of whether the network of relationships is Tang Tang's ability, the first step is to gather all of her first-tier network of relationships in Pingjiang City, and then investigate them one by one.

This step is not difficult.

The challenge lies in finding the connection between them, and how Su Ming can guide them to descend in an anthropomorphic manner.

"I wonder how the school beauty managed to entice Him to descend."

Su Ming rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling a headache coming on.

can only say.

The more you understand the Doomsday Line and the more you understand them, the more you realize just how valuable Wen Qi truly is.

In the early morning in Pingjiang City, sunlight filters through layers of sycamore leaves, casting soft, dappled patterns of light.

As Su Ming walked out of the Lychee Hotel, he looked up and saw Tangtang (a type of candy) by the roadside.

She wore a light apricot-colored dress today, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze. Her long, black hair was loosely tied up, making her skin appear fair and translucent.

Naturally beautiful, with a little careful dressing up, she became even more stunning, which made Su Ming's heart beat a little faster.

Tangtang spotted him at first glance, her eyes lighting up instantly. She waved with a big smile and quickly ran towards him.

Su Ming checked the time: "Didn't we say we'd meet at the movie theater entrance at 10 o'clock?"

Tang Tang said somewhat nervously, "I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd wait for you here."

After saying this, her face turned slightly red.

She murmured to herself: Su Ming looks so handsome today, even more handsome than yesterday.

"We didn't have to wait too long, did we?"

"No, no, I just arrived too."

Being with Tangtang is exceptionally relaxing and comfortable.

Even though they weren't officially in a relationship, she always thought of Su Ming's best interests.

Su Ming enjoyed this favoritism.

This is just the most ordinary date in the world.

Although it looked ordinary, I felt exceptionally happy.

After watching the movie, the two weren't too hungry, so they found a nearby arcade to play claw machines.

"Wow, Su Ming, you're amazing! You caught another one."

"I want that kitten plush toy, it's so soft and cute!"

"Yes, yes, that's it. Thank you!"

Tangtang squatted beside the machine, her eyes filled with starlight.

Su Ming smiled confidently and deftly manipulated the joystick.

The boy's high spirits and the girl's pure and bright nature are truly enviable.

The dollhouse was filled with the two's laughter and chatter.

When Su Ming held up the doll he had caught, it was as if all the troubles in the world had vanished with it.

Yu Mengnian, hidden in the shadows, stared blankly at the smile on Su Ming's face, and at the deep affection and tenderness in Tang Tang's eyes when she looked at him.

She gently pressed her hand to her chest, a strange, aching feeling welling up inside her.

it's wired.

Yu Mengnian wasn't the only one in this bustling shopping mall.

Xu Qinghe and Zhou Zhengyang are both here.

There are also many staff members disguised as ordinary passersby.

Every scene in the doll shop is captured by 360-degree surveillance cameras and transmitted in real time to the giant screen at headquarters.

Hundreds of processors and technical personnel were closely monitoring the screen.

They are detecting unusual auras and spatial fluctuations.

When Su Ming and Tang Tang came out of the dollhouse, their hands were already tightly clasped together.

Their relationship developed too quickly.

Tangtang wasn't as shy as before, her face was full of happiness and sweetness.

For lunch, they chose a Chinese restaurant with a decent reputation.

Su Ming looked down at the menu and ordered, while Tang Tang watched intently.

She wasn't looking at the menu; she was trying to remember what Su Ming liked to eat.

While waiting for the food, Su Ming took Tang Tang's hand and said earnestly, "Tang Tang, do you believe in destiny?"

"Actually, that night, when I saw you running towards me, I had a feeling that you were the one I had been waiting for."

Tangtang nodded vigorously, her eyes shining.

"Me too, me too." Her eyes were full of joy. "Actually, I noticed you when you were eating at the hot pot restaurant."

"I always felt that my life was prepared for the moment I met you."

"If I had missed you back then, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

Looking into her pure and innocent eyes, Su Ming's expression grew even more serious: "Tang Tang, can I ask you a question?"

"Mmm." Tangtang nodded repeatedly.

Have you heard of the Awakened Ones?

Tang Tang was somewhat puzzled.

Su Ming also learned to observe pupils from Wen Qi.

Although I wasn't very accurate, I could definitely see some things.

I've never actually heard of Tangtang.

"It refers to someone who has awakened superpowers."

"Tangtang, look."

He raised his palm, and a tiny eyeball appeared in his palm.

"This is the power I have awakened."

Caught off guard, Tang Tang instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock but not a trace of fear.

Su Ming then followed up with his own question: "Are you an Awakened One?"

"In our circle of awakened ones, only awakened ones can be with other awakened ones."

Of course, that's a lie.

The main purpose is to determine Tangtang's reaction.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Tang's expression dimmed instantly, and disappointment and panic appeared in her eyes.

She quickly gripped Su Ming's sleeve, her voice trembling with anxiety, "Can...can I become an Awakened One?"

"If I become an Awakened One, will we be able to be together?"

Su Ming looked intently into her eyes.

Sincerity, trepidation, and determination.

A wave of guilt washed over him.

How could he doubt a girl who only had eyes for him?

Su Ming reached out and patted Tang Tang's head, grinning, "Haha, you actually believed it."

"Tangtang, you're very easy to be fooled."

"This is fake."

He chuckled and removed the eyeball: "A toy, isn't this toy very realistic?"

Tang Tang was taken aback, then realized what he meant. Her eyes began to redden, and she gently punched him, saying, "I'm ignoring you now."

She turned away angrily.

He seemed awkward, but his face was full of joy at having something lost and found again.

It was just a joke, oh, it really scared her.

How could she have taken such an obvious joke seriously?

That's so stupid.

Will Su Ming think she's too stupid?

As she thought about it, tears began to well up in her eyes.

You can't blame her for being sensitive.

It's just that she cares too much about Su Ming.

Even though this was their first formal meeting and their relationship wasn't even defined, everything seemed to be predestined.

"Alright, alright."

"I was wrong."

I apologize to you.

"I was just joking."

They're very easy to coax, really very easy to coax.

If a girl is easy to please, then she definitely loves you more than you think.

Turning Tangtang back, Su Ming took out a ring from his pocket.

"Tangtang, let's get married."

At that moment, the air suddenly became quiet.

Tang Tang was completely stunned, her pupils contracted slightly, and her face was full of disbelief.

That's too fast.

We met yesterday, and we're meeting today.

They haven't even officially become a couple.

Then he proposed.

Even blind dates don't go this fast.

"You disagree?"

"That's true, it is indeed a bit too fast."

Just as Su Ming was about to take the ring back, Tang Tang suddenly grabbed his hand: "I didn't say I disagreed."

She asked nervously, "Su Ming, are you serious?"

"do you understand me?"

Su Ming flicked the tip of her nose and asked in return, "Then do you understand me?"

Tangtang shook her head truthfully.

Yesterday, she and Su Ming were still "strangers".

"Then you still dared to agree?"

Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?

Tang Tang pursed her lips, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter, "So, are you a bad person?"

Su Ming was amused by Tang Tang's adorable appearance.

But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint spatial fluctuation.

Tang Tang's voice rang out at the same time, firm: "Su Ming, don't scare me."

"Although I don't know anything about your past or anything about you, I know that you are definitely not a bad person."

"Fate led me to meet you; all encounters are preordained."

"If you truly want to marry me, then I say yes."

After saying that, she firmly took the ring from Su Ming's hand and solemnly slipped it onto her ring finger.

On the second day after they met, there was no grand confession, no carefully planned ceremony, and no splendid vows.

In this seemingly casual, almost joking proposal, Tang Tang nodded firmly and chose to accept.
