……
When the doorbell rang, both the person and the cat instinctively looked in that direction. Before the echo had even faded, the person had already entered.
Just as Shen Muchan had guessed.
That person was Su Yan.
She walked slowly from the living room to the kitchen, looked at Shen Muchan, and said, "Aren't you going to put up a fight? Are you just going to accept your fate like this?"
Shen Muchan did not put down the spoon in her hand, and calmly said, "If fate really exists, then someone made arrangements for me before you."
"If the person you're talking about is her... Gu Yuqiu."
Su Yan said with a slight sneer, "Even though she hasn't left the throne yet, she has nothing to do with fate, unless you insist that extinction is the fate of mankind."
Shen Muchan countered, "Isn't that right?"
Su Yan said, "Loneliness is the norm. Life is just a fleeting spark that will eventually fade into nothingness. This statement or view is correct, but it is too pessimistic and extremely boring."
The white cat, who was listening nearby, was speechless and wondered how they had gotten into this conversation.
In its view, the so-called question of fate is utterly boring.
If fate tells you you're going to die, are you really going to give up and just laugh it off and commit suicide?
This kind of thing might happen to ordinary people, but it could never happen to her, or to a strong person like Shen Muchan, let alone Su Yan and Gu Yuqiu.
Giving up has never been their choice.
"Whether it's pessimistic or boring, I don't care."
Shen Muchan put down her spoon, turned around to face Su Yan, and said expressionlessly, "I just want to know your thoughts on Gu Yuqiu."
Su Yan suddenly asked, "What did Gu Yuqiu do to you?"
Shen Muchan calmly said, "I don't quite understand why you would make this connection. Is there some unknown connection between these two sentences?"
"Then why did you ask me what I think of Gu Yuqiu?" Su Yan's tone was inexplicably mocking.
"curious."
Shen Muchan looked into her eyes and said seriously, "In this world, everyone who has confirmed your relationship is curious about how it came about."
Su Yan's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Then what benefits will I receive if I tell you?"
Shen Muchan only said two words to this.
"Comrade-in-arms."
"...Comrade-in-arms?"
Su Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, finding what she heard quite amusing, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
From the perspective of strength, these two words are not laughable, because the difference between them is only a thin line, even if the gap between them is as vast as the ocean.
The more crucial issue remains the fact that the two women have a grudge against each other, and neither of them has a good temper; they are not the type of people who act purely out of self-interest.
How can someone with such a relationship become comrades-in-arms?
Shen Muchan was well aware of this and said seriously, "Don't find it funny yet."
"Ok."
Su Yan covered her mouth with her hand to make the laughter less jarring, and then said, "Now you can explain it to me."
Just then, an angry meow reached their ears.
"What on earth are you doing?!"
The white cat jumped between the two, meowing loudly and angrily shouting, "How can you discuss how to deal with her right in front of me?!"
Su Yan glanced at it and asked, "Why would I be targeting her?"
The white cat roared angrily, "Don't I know what you women are thinking?!"

Shen Muchan glanced at the white cat.
The white cat wasn't afraid of her at all and spat out a mouthful of pee without hesitation.
Then Su Yan's gaze fell on it.
The white cat turned around, forgetting the past, and meowed obediently, indicating that you can continue and don't need to pay attention to me.
Seeing its cowardly and bullying behavior, Shen Muchan smiled with a hint of mockery.
The laughter was grating.
The white cat turned around again and gave her a disdainful look, thinking to itself, "Looking at you today, what right do you have to look down on me?"
Shen Muchan understood, her smile gradually faded, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Su Yan and said, "Regarding the suggestion of fighting, the final result will inevitably be a win-win situation. I think you can seriously consider it."
Su Yan's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "Is this the reason you used to persuade me? Just about interests?"
"Hatred."
Shen Muchan said earnestly, "I believe I share the same feelings for her as you do."
Last night, she was not only thinking about how to apologize to Gu Yuqiu this morning, but also about the secret conversation she saw between the person and the cat at dusk yesterday.
That's the reason she said that.
"But haven't you forgotten something?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "The so-called comradeship means that I have to clearly tell you my views on Gu Yuqiu before you will give me any benefits. How come it has suddenly changed?"
As she spoke, she walked to the sofa, sat down, found a comfortable position, and then tilted her head slightly to look at Shen Muchan.
Despite being positioned low, her expression was full of joy, giving the impression of being high above, and inexplicably creating a sense of looking down on others.
Shen Muchan suddenly said, "Are you imitating her?"
The words fell.
Su Yan's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she said softly, "What kind of explanation is this?"
Shen Muchan remained expressionless and said, "If you don't like it, I can use a different word, or I can interpret it as you being influenced."
Su Yan said, "Are you provoking me?"
"If you lose your temper over these few words, then I have to question how you got to where you are today."
Shen Muchan looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I think our conversation needs to be calm enough, setting aside those meaningless emotions. Only in this way can we reach a consensus."
Su Yan understood and asked, "You want me to tell you that my opinion of Gu Yuqiu is based on this consideration?"
"Yes."
Shen Muchan then asked, "So, what's your answer?"
From any perspective, this is a great suggestion, and there's no reason to refuse it, as long as Su Yan really wants to deal with Gu Yuqiu.
However, Shen Muchan did not hear the words she wanted to hear.
“That’s really good. Although I don’t know what happened between you and her, the fact that she’s willing to let you stay by her side means that she trusts you to a certain extent. Even if it’s not enough, it’s enough to set up a trap that could kill her.”
Su Yan smiled and said, "But I refuse."
Shen Muchan wasn't too surprised and asked, "The reason is that you believe the feud between you and her is a personal one, not something to be discussed with outsiders, let alone interfere."
"Yes."
Su Yan said, "That's my reason. That's why I'm here today just to collect my debt."
"Then why did you start chatting with me?"
Before she could speak, Shen Muchan answered to herself, "Are you trying to find out indirectly what she did to me? This jealousy is a bit too much."
Su Yan smiled but remained silent.
Does it mean acknowledgment?
"Since you want revenge, then take revenge."
Shen Muchan glanced around and said, "But we still need to find a different place, otherwise if she comes back and sees the mess, someone will definitely be in trouble."
Su Yan said with a smile, "It's impossible for me to be the unlucky one."
The white cat standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer. It stood up and meowed, indicating that they really needed to find another place to fight and shouldn't mess with its cat bed.
Hearing the meow, the two looked at it again.
Unlike before, Songtang became exceptionally determined this time and refused to back down.
Cats are very homebodies. Even though they have transcended their own kind, those habits still exist and unconsciously influence them.
Of course, more importantly, Gu Yuqiu had instructed it to take good care of the house.
Perhaps Gu Yuqiu had already foreseen the changes that were about to happen?
Thinking of this, Songtang was overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes filled with resentment.
However, it remained steadfast and showed no intention of backing down. It looked into Su Yan's eyes, waiting for her decision, ready to risk everything to leave her with a coat of cat fur.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yan looked out the window and said "Okay."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, no longer as heavy as still water.
Even the sunlight falling on the living room seemed to have become warmer, as if returning from the cold winter to the warm spring.
Shen Muchan looked at Songtang and said with emotion, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone as brave as you."
"If you have the chance, you will see more in the future."
Songtang was very proud. She jumped up and flew to the floor-to-ceiling window with a beautiful view. She looked back at the two people behind her and signaled them to hurry up and stop dawdling!
……
……
After Gu Yuqiu said those words, Lu Xiu remained silent for a long time.
Having spent many years in a high-ranking position, he had long since developed the habit of maintaining composure and rarely showed his emotions, but this time it was still surprisingly obvious.
He turned to look at Gu Yuqiu and reminded her, "There are some things I have no interest in hiding, and you must know that I have always suspected the relationship between you and Shen Hong."
