“This time is different,” Wu Ji said, taking a fried chicken wing from Nana’s plate.

"Nana-chan~ May I have a bite?"

Nana immediately frowned and puffed out her cheeks like a little pufferfish.

Borrowing again?! Why is everyone borrowing food from her bowl every day?!

When are you going to pay me back?!

Nana was filled with grief and indignation.

Nana's flesh was stolen [she has turned evil].

Wu Ji was oblivious to Nana's grief and indignation. He finished the chicken wing in a few bites and licked his fingers to savor the taste.

"This event was held in our neighborhood."

Wu Ji explained the whole story, and Bai Weiran immediately understood.

As more and more people from our hometown go out to work, the number of people attending class reunions is gradually decreasing.

This year, when we did a survey in the group, we found that our high school classmates were scattered all over the country, with very few still living in our hometown.

Ask everyone to report their current location. It turns out that the location with the most people is actually the city where Bai Weiran and Wu Ji are located.

After much discussion, everyone decided to hold the class reunion here.

Unlike Wu Ji, Bai Weiran doesn't like to spam group chats; he usually turns off notifications in most of his groups.

"I knew you probably didn't see it, so I just wanted to let you know. Tsk tsk, where can you find such a loyal and devoted friend like me?"

Wu Ji sighed with self-satisfaction, then reached out to "borrow" another chicken wing from Nana's plate. Nana hurriedly stuffed the remaining two chicken wings into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and shook her head vigorously to refuse.

Although Nana doesn't need to eat at all, she still has a strong craving for food.

Not long ago, Mengmeng snatched a whole bowl of meat from her at home and didn't return it, which Nana still resents.

Wu Ji could only awkwardly withdraw his hand and use his adult money to order another plate of fried chicken wings.

“Okay, count me in.” Bai Weiran nodded.

"I've already registered you." Wu Ji had a look on his face that said, "I knew this all along."

"I've heard that class reunions are the best way to reconnect with the past. Mr. Bai, is there anyone you'd like to see?"

Wu Ji joked, but his eyes were secretly watching Bai Weiran's expression.

“…I really want to see them all…” Bai Weiran’s phone rang. He apologized and, as usual, went out of the bar to answer the call.

Wu Ji watched his retreating figure from behind.

Judging from his expression, he really doesn't mind at all.

"You don't mind anything?"

Wu Ji was startled, only then realizing that he had unknowingly spoken his thoughts aloud.

Nana stared at him with her innocent, wide eyes, curiously asking again.

"Mr. William, you don't mind anything?"

Nana looked innocent and carefree, which Wu Ji found adorable. He was completely unguarded and started teasing her with a smile.

"Of course, everyone has one or two secrets—"

"What secret?" Nana's eyes widened, and she placed her little hands on Wu Ji's arm, swaying them playfully.

"Handsome young man, tell Nana that she won't tell anyone."

As she spoke, she pulled her hand next to her mouth, making a zipper-like motion to close her mouth.

Nana's appearance is so outstanding that she could be an idol trainee.

Her playful little gestures are incredibly cute.

"...Look, Nana has pulled her mouth shut."

Her coquettishness and all sorts of charming and adorable little gestures completely captivated Wu Ji, who had never had a younger sister in his life.

He can fend off bad women and yandere types, but who can fend off a naturally pretty, charming, and adorable pink-haired loli?

That is impossible.

Wu Ji immediately straightened his back and puffed out his chest, feeling instantly superior and showing off his power.

"Well, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else."

Nana smiled happily, stretched out her fair little hand, and took the initiative to pull Wu Ji over to make a pinky promise with him.

"Pinky promise, stamp it, Nana will definitely keep the secret."

With her soft little hands and adoring, bright eyes, she launched another powerful attack on Wu Ji, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, blurting out all sorts of things.

"That's right, Young Master Bai, he had a first love, a senior in high school."

Nana covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes widened in shock.

"Really? And then!?"

A look of longing in his eyes.

Wu Ji felt a little embarrassed as soon as he spoke.

To be honest, this first love was two years older than them. When Wu Ji and Bai Weiran were in their first year of high school, she was already in her final year, so it was impossible for her to attend this high school reunion.

He had just used the class reunion as a subtle way to test Bai Weiran, but he only wanted to see how his friend would react.

But he also knew in his heart that there was no way a senior from two years younger would come.

Nobody even knows where the senior is now.

But at this moment, facing Nana who was filled with admiration, Wu Ji couldn't bring himself to say, "My senior sister will never come."

Wouldn't that reduce the shock value of gossip?

Wu Ji maintained his composure, his face stern.

"There's nothing 'then' about it. For us men, first love is just a scar from a learning experience. It's over and done with. We don't care about it anymore. When we meet again, we can casually ask, 'How have you been all these years?' That's what adults do!"

Nana was very supportive, her eyes sparkling, "Wow, adults are amazing..."

Bai Weiran returned just in time to end Wu Ji and Nana's gossip session.

Late that night, in the empty living room, Nana leaned against the back of the sofa and whispered something in the ear of the blue-eyed older woman.

"Sister Yanle, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else—"

"Mr. William, he's going to a class reunion."

"At the class reunion, I heard he'll run into his first love, and he'll just want to ask her how she's been doing lately..."

Xia Yanle pursed her lips and slammed the book shut.

The next morning, in the living room where only one person was playing games, Nana knelt down next to the white-haired girl and muttered to herself.

"Sister Mengmeng, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"Mr. William, he's going to a class reunion."

"At the class reunion, I heard he'll run into his first love, and he'll just want to ask her how she's been doing lately..."

A huge "gameover" message appeared on the screen, and the controller was thrown to the ground.

The following evening, Qin Ning was enjoying the breeze on the balcony when Nana floated in mid-air and lowered her head.

"Sister Qin Ning, I'm going to tell you a secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"Mr. William, he's going to a class reunion."

"At the class reunion, I heard he'll run into his first love, and he'll just want to ask her how she's been doing lately..."

Qin Ning's charming cat-like eyes narrowed instantly.

There are costs to teaching as a yandere intern.

Unbeknownst to Bai Weiran, Nana had already become a traitor to three masters.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Guoguo's Eccentric Nephew

In the small conference room, Han Xin, Bai Weiran, and Guo Guo sat around a small round table.

Bai Weiran remained calm.

Guoguo tried her best to appear calm, but her fingers, gripping the notebook under the table, turned white with nervousness, and her tightly pursed lips repeatedly betrayed her anxiety.

Han Xin sat opposite the two men, his expression gentle.

"We are still discussing this matter."

"Just keep the project progress the same as before."

Bai Weiran nodded, while Guoguo wanted to catch her breath, but because of the presence of senior executives, she dared not exhale, and her little face turned red from holding her breath.

Han Xin glanced at Guo Guo, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, then gave a few more instructions on work matters before standing up.

Bai Weiran and Guoguo also stood up. Han Xin walked past Bai Weiran and patted him on the shoulder.

"I will do my best to fight for you."

“I’ve always been optimistic about your project and don’t want it to end like this.”

Bai Weiran smiled and agreed, watching Han Xin walk away.

As soon as the conference room door closed, Guoguo let out a long breath and slumped down in her chair.

"I can't go on, my son, I can't go on." Guoguo wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I have to have this kind of heart rhythm test every two weeks. During the company health check this year, my heart will definitely have problems, and you will have to bury your own child."

As a project producer and lead planner, Bai Weiran and Guoguo have a direct reporting opportunity with General Manager Han Xin every two weeks.

Normally we report on project progress and discuss future directions, but lately we've had a life-or-death issue to address.

What should be done next for the project?
