Zhang Yifan parked his car in a parking space in the residential area.

The engine was turned off, the key was removed, and the whole process was smooth and efficient.

He was filled with conflicting emotions and hesitation about where to stay that night.

He hesitated for a while before finally giving up the idea of ​​staying overnight alone.

It's not that the house is bad, it's that the house is too good, too good to be true.

He had just invited Shen Zhiyi to come and live with him.

However, the girl regained her senses and refused to agree.

The 300-square-meter apartment is luxuriously decorated and fully equipped.

But without people, even the most luxurious house is just a cold, lifeless building.

I live alone, and I have no one to talk to.

Rather than sitting alone in this empty house, I'd rather go back to my dorm.

The dormitory was small and a bit cramped, but it was really lively.

Zhao Peng's three adopted sons are always full of energy.

When they get together, they can chat, brag, complain, and slack off on any topic.

With these three eye-catching bags, the night will definitely not be boring.

Zhang Yifan simply stopped worrying about staying overnight.

I casually opened the food delivery app and quickly swiped my finger to place an order.

The fried chicken combo is all you need, plus a few cans of ice-cold beer.

The main selling point is providing free late-night snacks, while also feeding his three adopted sons.

I set up a pickup point along my route, locked the car, and turned to walk towards the campus.

There weren't many people on the campus streets in the evening, and the evening breeze was slightly cool.

As Zhang Yifan traveled, his thoughts drifted away.

He was mentally reviewing the investment in Suyuan Technology that had been finalized during the day.

This investment, seemingly conservative, is actually a crucial step in seizing the opportunities of the times.

The rewards offered by the system are substantial and real benefits.

Two longevity cards.

Upon receiving the reward, he immediately made plans.

I don't use them myself; I leave them all to my parents.

My parents worked hard all their lives, and the strain caused them to fall ill.

He developed a host of minor health problems at a young age, which all manifested in his old age.

These two longevity cards are used to completely eliminate hidden dangers and strengthen the body's foundation.

Zhang Yifan pondered to himself.

I wonder if the actual effect of this card will be as immediate as the system describes.

If the results are maximized, then this investment will yield more than just financial gains and connections.

It will also ensure the health and well-being of parents for decades to come.

Even if it only has a slight effect, it's definitely a worthwhile investment.

My thoughts wandered aimlessly, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the food pickup point.

I handed over the order code and picked up a heavy bag of late-night snacks.

The aroma of fried chicken could be faintly smelled even through the packaging.

The portion is generous, enough for four people to eat their fill.

He carried the bag and walked briskly straight into the dormitory building.

The moment I pushed open the dormitory door, a cacophony of noise hit me.

After military training, the boys' dormitory is usually filled with groans and lamentations.

The three of them lay sprawled on their beds, too exhausted to move, even to lift their hands to play on their phones.

Zhang Yifan raised his hand and waved the heavy bag of food in his hand.

His tone was casual, with a hint of playfulness.

"My children, look what your godfather has brought back for you."

This one sentence is like a buff that allows you to revive with full health on the spot.

Zhao Peng and the other two suddenly jumped up from the bed.

Their movements were swift, showing no sign of fatigue from military training.

The three of them stared intently at the packaging bag, their eyes lighting up instantly.

All fatigue and aches disappear instantly in front of delicious noodles.

The three of them rushed forward, jostling each other to take the fried chicken and beer.

Their movements were incredibly practiced, as if they were afraid of missing a bite if they were even a second late.

The packaging bag was quickly torn open, and the hot air mixed with the aroma instantly filled the entire dormitory.

The golden, crispy fried chicken is steaming gently.

The coolness of an ice-cold beer is just right for a hot night.

The group grabbed fried chicken and took big bites, casually pulling the tabs on their beer bottles.

While eating and drinking, they launched into a crazy rant.

Zhao Peng bit into a chicken leg, his face filled with utter despair.

"This military training is simply inhumane, pure physical exploitation."

Standing at attention every day until my legs go numb, I feel like they don't even belong to me anymore.

Lin Zhe took a swig of beer and echoed his agreement.

"That's right, after being in the sun all day, my whole body aches."

Training from morning till night completely drains my energy.

Wang Hao munched on a chicken wing, filled with emotion.

"Fortunately, our godfather loves us and remembers to bring us late-night snacks."

This fried chicken and beer meal was a lifesaver for our spirits, which had been shattered by military training.

The group took turns eating, enjoying themselves immensely.

My nerves, which had been tense all day, slowly and completely relaxed.

With a full stomach and a comfortable body, my gossipy spirit instantly ignites.

Young people's happiness is so simple: after a good meal, they want to gossip and chat.

Zhao Peng moved closer to Zhang Yifan, his face contorted with a lewd grin.

The ambiguous meaning in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Godfather, you didn't come home all night yesterday!"

"Tell me honestly, has there been any major breakthrough in your relationship with your sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, the other two immediately perked up.

They immediately crowded around and started making a fuss, eager to watch the excitement.

"Yeah, yeah, tell us!"

"A man and a woman alone out at night, there must be something going on!"

"How far have things progressed? Have you completely won over your sister-in-law?"

A group of people surrounded them, teasing and joking, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.

Zhang Yifan adjusted his posture, leaned back in his chair, and looked calm.

I was originally planning to take this opportunity to brag and act like a big shot.

A message notification sound suddenly rang out on my phone.

The crisp tinkling sound interrupted the words he was about to say.

Zhang Yifan paused his conversation and casually took out his phone from his pocket.

The screen lights up, and the sender's note is simply two words: Yi Yi.

He composed himself and opened the chat window.

The message from Shen Zhiyi was short and concise.

In just a few simple words, the matter was explained clearly.

Tomorrow night, her roommate Su Man took the initiative to organize a dormitory dinner.

Su Man hosted the entire meal, treating everyone in the girls' dormitory to a meal out.

Shen Zhiyi was perceptive and noticed that something was amiss in the whole affair.

Unsolicited favors are always suspicious.

This seemingly ordinary dormitory get-together dinner is likely hiding something fishy.

Zhang Yifan lightly tapped the screen twice with his fingertip.

The carefree and nonchalant expression on his face vanished instantly.

His eyes held a newfound composure and prudence.

He quickly reviewed all the information about Suman in his mind.

Utilitarian, pragmatic, extremely self-serving, adept at disguise, and desperately eager to climb the social ladder.

The one thing this kind of person is least likely to do is lose money to do favors.

They usually calculate gains and losses over the smallest things, so how could they suddenly be so generous as to treat everyone to a meal and apologize?

A mere apology?

It might fool a child, but it won't fool someone as experienced in love as myself.

Su Man's actions clearly demonstrate that she wouldn't visit the temple without a reason.

Take the initiative to pay money, take the initiative to humble yourself, and take the initiative to ease tensions.

There's definitely another purpose behind it.

Tomorrow night's dinner party is most likely a carefully planned trap.

On the surface, it's an apology and social gathering, but behind the scenes, they're definitely plotting something sinister.

Zhang Yifan's mind raced as he silently devised a countermeasure.

Su Man most likely intended to use the dinner as a cover to secretly carry out some underhanded tactics.

They either gather information or deliberately set traps and create trouble.

Who it's targeting is self-evident.

He must think of a solution in advance.

Plan ahead to guard against the opponent's underhanded tricks and mischief.

We can't let Shen Zhiyi be secretly manipulated or schemed against at the dinner party.

The sounds of laughter and chatter continued in the dormitory.

The three roommates were still eating and joking around, completely unaware.

Only Zhang Yifan had seen through the undercurrents behind this dinner party.

Su Man had been preparing this trap for so long.

What are they really thinking? What tricks are they planning to pull?

All the unknown answers will be revealed one by one tomorrow night.
