Upon hearing Xia Xiaoqin speak, Leopard Brother's expression changed several times, as if he was extremely annoyed.

But in the end, he pleaded almost desperately, "Sister! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, please forgive me! Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Xia Xiaoqin fell silent.

She could clearly see that the man named Leopard was very wary of Shen Yan.

Who exactly is this person?

At that moment, Lu Yang leaned down slightly, whispered in the girl's ear, his voice carrying a hint of eeriness: "Darling, that man named Shen Yan has been watching you."

Do you know him?

Xia Xiaoqin shook her head.

Although she didn't understand why the other person was looking at her, this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After considering for a few seconds, Xia Xiaoqin raised her pale face and her tone became more polite.

"Brother Leopard, we don't want to make enemies either. At first, we also chose to stand by and watch the man who was kicked down. To be honest, we just wanted some peace and quiet."

"So, Brother Leopard, if you can coexist peacefully with us, then we'll each take a step back, how about that?"

Leopard looked at the unmoving long knife held against his neck, then secretly glanced at the man next to Xia Xiaoqin, his mind racing.

Something's wrong! Something's definitely wrong!

Could it be... that these two are related to Shen Yan?!

Otherwise, how could that lone wolf, who always goes his own way, suddenly appear?

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Brother Leopard's back, and a smile that looked more like a grimace was forced onto his fleshy face.

"Of course! Of course!" Brother Leopard nodded repeatedly. "Nothing's wrong! Absolutely nothing's wrong! It was all my fault just now! Please forgive me!"

Xia Xiaoqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She took Lu Yang's hand and squeezed the back of his hand slightly with her fingertips, indicating that they could take this opportunity to retreat.

"Alright, Brother Leopard, it's settled then, we won't bother each other."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqin quickly pulled Lu Yang away.

However, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way.

So before leaving, she pretended to be affectionate and smiled at the man named Shen Yan, as if she were greeting an acquaintance. Then she quickly pulled Lu Yang away, afraid of being exposed.

But at this moment, Shen Yan was stunned.

He suddenly took a step forward, his gaze following the slender figure, and opened his mouth.

But the girl's back was quickly blocked by another tall figure, as if intentionally.

Under the stark white light, Lu Yang turned his head, his brows slightly raised, his nose high and straight, his handsome and sharp face meeting Shen Yan's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Yang's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of nonchalant mockery, almost as a provocation.

"Lu Yang, what are you doing?"

Xia Xiaoqin looked at Lu Yang with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he suddenly turned around.

But Lu Yang didn't say anything, he just smiled, took her hand, and continued walking forward.

As the two walked away, silence filled the air.

Shen Yan stood still, motionless.

That expressionless face, devoid of any discernible joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, suddenly seemed to be shrouded in gloom.

Immediately feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Brother Leopard knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

After a long while, Shen Yan slowly spoke, his voice low, hoarse, and indifferent.

"Don't touch her."

Leopard trembled with fear, nodding his head vigorously: "Of course! Of course! Brother Shen has spoken, I absolutely won't touch that girl! Not a single hair on her head!"

Shen Yan sheathed his long sword, hugged it to his chest again, and pulled the brim of his baseball cap down low, obscuring his eyes.

But his gaze still couldn't help but drift towards Xia Xiaoqin.

Watching that slender figure walk further and further away until it disappeared into the shadows at the end of the carriage, the man finally restrained himself and did not chase after her, but simply stood quietly in place.

"Small quilt".

A murmur escaped Shen Yan's lips, then vanished into thin air.

......

Back in a more distant carriage, Xia Xiaoqin leaned back in her seat, panting heavily, trying to calm her racing heart.

In the black and white world, the tunnel outside the car window continued to rush past, with a few traffic lights flashing by occasionally, like a nightmare from which I would never wake up.

That was really dangerous.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of someone named Shen Yan, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Just then, Lu Yang leaned down, rested one hand on the armrest of the seat next to her, and gently patted her back with the other.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm alright." Xia Xiaoqin raised her head, her face still a little pale, but her breathing had gradually become steady. "I just ran too fast."

She paused, then glanced back at the closed carriage door behind her, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"I don't know if Brother Leopard's gang will come after us. We need to find a way to get off this subway as soon as possible. This train will never reach Xingfu Supermarket."

Xia Xiaoqin's gaze fell on the subway's electronic screen. The red dot was flashing below a new station name—"Happy Station".

She froze for a moment.

Happy Station.

The station name sounds so normal, it even carries a touch of absurd beauty.

Unlike the previous ones where heads, hearts, and murderers stood, this was like a flower suddenly blooming amidst a pile of rotting corpses.

"Lu Yang, look."

Xia Xiaoqin tugged at Lu Yang's sleeve and pointed at the screen.

The other players in the carriage also noticed the station name, and whispers gradually increased.

Having experienced the terror of the previous stops, everyone was on edge.

But the word "happiness" is so deceptive, like a lifeline suddenly thrown down, making people want to grab it.

The subway continued its journey, its wheels rumbling rhythmically over the tracks.

Meanwhile, the blood-red traffic lights on both sides of the tunnel became increasingly dense.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the sweet announcement rang out again, "Happy Station has arrived. Passengers heading to Happy, please disembark from the left-hand door in turn."

As the subway stopped, Xia Xiaoqin couldn't help but look out the window.

As before, the platform was still vast, with only a few metal chairs in the center.

However, a few players couldn't resist and tentatively peered out the window.

"Hey, this Happy Station... Anyone want to get off and try it out?"
