Guoguo unconsciously pulled the tab on the can, and the shaken Coke sprayed out, coincidentally landing on A-Chao's newly bought white clothes.

A moment of silence fell.

Chapter Fourteen: Even if Garlic squeezes in, he's still an outsider (Seeking monthly votes)

After a flurry of activity, Ah Chao finally explained his purpose after all the cola stains had been wiped clean.

He wanted to invite Guoguo and Bai Weiran to go to the amusement park together on the weekend.

There is a globally renowned chain of amusement parks on the outskirts of the city.

The reason was to accompany my cousin.

Ah Chao's cousin came to the city for a trip, and he even went to pick her up at the airport. Many people in the group knew about this.

My cousin wanted to go to the amusement park, but she thought it would be too deserted and crowded. However, she didn't know any other friends, so she asked A-Chao to find some. A-Chao himself was also a migrant worker, and all his friends were from the workplace. The first people he thought of were Guo-Guo and Bai-Wei-Ran.

Guoguo looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

"How long has it been since you picked her up from the airport? Your cousin calls this a vacation? It's practically a long stay, isn't it?"

"I don't know either, but it's her prerogative, and I can only be responsible for receiving her," Ah Chao said, putting his hands together in prayer.

"Please, you two big shots, come with me!"

His posture was humble and he was trembling, which made Guoguo burst out laughing.

"That's your cousin, why do you look like you're facing the guillotine?"

"Or is your cousin really that scary? A modern-day fairy who can poison people?"

"Oh, no, she's a really nice person... but how should I put it, I'm not close to her. She was adopted by my aunt overseas. I've only seen her in photos twice in my life. Apart from her name as my cousin, we're like complete strangers. You know me, I blush whenever I talk to a girl..."

"Oh my, a lively and enthusiastic cousin who grew up abroad, is not related to us by blood, and is extremely beautiful, came to the city alone, just wanting you to accompany her—Shen Dingchao, what kind of delusional fantasy is this? Are you sure you're not lying to us? I wouldn't even dare to write something like this in a novel!"

Guoguo was just joking, but Achao was so frightened that his face turned pale, as if he had been summoned by the demons of the underworld.

"Don't think nonsense, I would never dare."

This startled Bai Weiran and Guoguo.

After Ah Chao offered to cover all expenses for the day, Guo Guo readily agreed to the date.

But this doesn't apply to Bai Weiran.

"Thank you, but I'm not interested in amusement parks," he said, placing one hand on the balcony doorknob.

"My son, she's a stunning mixed-race beauty! Don't you want to take a look? It's human nature to want to see good things, and Shen Dingchao even said that his senior is incredibly beautiful—don't you want to?"

Bai Weiran tilted his head and smiled, not replying, and directly switched modes.

"The dialogue bubbles in Deathmatch mode were blank this morning. Did you fill out the form?"

Guoguo exclaimed.

"I filled it out! I tested it at 11 o'clock, and it all came up."

"I just took a look, it's white, there's a bug. Check the logs to see if there's an error, and I'll fix it this afternoon."

He pushed open the door and left.

Guoguo scratched her head, muttering to herself that this shouldn't have happened, and then followed along.

Ah Chao was left standing there, looking conflicted for a moment before finally gazing at the building across the street.

In fact, Ah Chao secretly hoped that Bai Weiran would go.

There were some things he couldn't say just now, and it would have been strange to say them.

His cousin was indeed very beautiful, but when he looked into her eyes, he felt like a mouse being watched by a cat, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

There is an indescribable, sinister air hidden beneath that innocent smile.

You could sense that she was extremely flexible in her thinking, constantly changing her bottom line, which could easily cross the moral bottom line of ordinary people.

He found it terrifying.

I hope to talk to her as little as possible.

But if Wei Ran is there, he feels that nothing is wrong.

"Strange, why would I think that?" He touched his chest and muttered to himself.

Anyway, Brother Weiran said he's not going—

It's good that Guoguo is here; he can dump all the communication tasks on Guoguo and just stand in line to buy them tickets, things, and carry their bags, living a carefree life.

Thinking about it, Ah Chao became happy again and went back to his workstation.

"Ugh... ugh... that's that annoying Mr. William!"

The pink-haired loli ghost, holding a broom, looked happy. In a Disney princess pose, she lifted herself ten centimeters off the ground and swept wildly left and right with a Schrödinger-like sweeping motion, circling Bai Weiran's chair before quickly passing by.

Bai Weiran remained motionless, staring at his phone, frowning in thought, unusually caught in a struggle.

There's an item shop on the app.

That's somewhat below the lower limit.

Hesitation prevents success.

Just as he was about to click, the app popped up a new message.

Lan Xia: (Rose) (Rose) (Heart) (Heart) (Smile) (Smile)

She hadn't contacted him for quite some time.

Their conversation ended when she asked for his advice.

He didn't ask her how the task was going.

She didn't tell him the final result of the mission, or whether his suggestions were taken into account during the process.

Bai Weiran thought that she probably didn't listen, tried it casually, and then abandoned his suggestion because she felt the style didn't suit her.

But this very quality of her makes him smile when he thinks of her.

A carefree and independent witch.

He wasn't worried when she didn't contact him.

I'm sure she can manage to live a good life.

[Lan Xia: It's raining again here.]

[Lan Xia: I'm so unlucky.]

[Lan Xia: ...I just washed the duvet cover, and then it started raining, so it won't dry.]

[Lan Xia: I'm so angry! I'm the one who willingly got myself thrown into the washing machine.]

The seemingly aimless rambling could almost be seen through those few words by a blue-eyed, mature woman standing before him, casually chuckling as she scrolled through her phone.

[Weiran: Next time, check the weather forecast before washing the blankets.]

[Weiran: I've made that mistake too.]

He washed the sheets without checking the weather forecast. He had just started working and kept things simple, so he didn't prepare two sets of sheets to change into. After he washed them, it started raining, and they wouldn't dry. The rain continued for seven days.

[Lan Xia: ...So what will you do in the end?]

[Weiran: I sent it to the laundry, had it washed and dried again—but before that, I slept on a mattress without sheets for three days.]

Lan Xia: (Smirking)

[Lan Xia: But sending it to the laundry is such a hassle, I'm so lazy.]

[Lan Xia: I really wish someone would deliver it for me, don't you, Mr. Wei Ran?]

Bai Weiran typed a few words, deleted them, and remained silent for two seconds.

[Weiran: Indeed, you should find someone to deliver it for you!]

[Weiran: Or courier pickup would be fine too, very convenient.]

One sentence made the mature and delicate woman on the other end raise an eyebrow.

He's so stubborn and insistent on his claims; has his sealed memory not been restored yet?

If he were to recover, his attitude would certainly not be so open and transparent.

Bai Weiran is very honest with himself, which is also his biggest flaw.

If he remembers, it's impossible for him to face her without making a fuss.

How could I ever forget my first kiss?!

But she was wicked; she wanted to see him embarrassed. The harder he resisted now, the stronger his backlash would be when he looked back, and he would end up slapping himself in the face.

You'll be disappointed, Mr. Weiran!

[Lan Xia: Why can't that person be you?]

There was silence for several minutes.

[Wei Ran: Ms. Xia, please show me some respect, otherwise we can still be friends.]

If she crosses that line, they won't be able to do anything.

Without crossing over, we're still colleagues from the app.

[Lan Xia: I won't, what can you do about it?]

[Lan Xia: I want to get involved too!!]

Lan Xia: (Rose) (Rose) (Heart) (Heart) (Smile) (Smile)

This time, the silence lasted for an exceptionally long time.

Xia Yanle waited quietly, and finally, her blue eyes snapped open, and she burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

He sent her an emoji that read, "Even if garlic squeezes in, it's still an outsider."
