Knight: My Thunder Armor was taken in by Gangen Xinguo

The atmosphere in the store gradually became lively, with the customers' chatter and the clerks' footsteps interweaving into a city melody.

Amidst this familiar bustle, Wu Lingyang picked up a piece of crispy roasted duck skin and exclaimed with satisfaction: "The taste of this restaurant is still so good, as if it has never changed."

"Like us."

Shengzhen answered with a smile, a hint of mischief and nostalgia in his eyes, which made Xingguo, who had been concentrating on looking through the menu opposite him, raise his head and smile knowingly.

"Speaking of which, our small circle is pretty stable."

Xing Guo interjected, his eyes revealing some emotion, "Sometimes I wonder how we have been able to keep the time fresh all these years."

Wu Lingyang smiled slightly. He recalled the crazy nights they had played together, and the difficulties they had overcome with mutual support.

He paused for a moment, then said: "Because we all retain that original intention. No matter how far we go, we still remember the importance of each other deep in our hearts."

The pot on the table began to emit a stronger aroma, and the hazy steam made their faces look even more intimate, as if all the moments of their youth were overlapping again.

Shengzhen concentrated on scooping the soup from the pot and said nonchalantly, "Actually, I've always wanted to say thank you. Thank you for always being there for me, accompanying me through the good and bad times."

"Silly boy, we should thank you too."

Wu Lingyang said softly, with relief in his eyes.

He knew that it was because of each other that they could go more steadily and further.

"Indeed, I'm really lucky to have you all these years."

Xing Guo agreed, and then as if remembering something, he added playfully, "So we should drink a little more wine today, huh!"

"Oh, that depends on whether you refuse to drink later."

Shengzhen teased, raised his glass and made a toast to her.

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

Xing Guo laughed loudly, and the hand holding up the glass showed unhesitating courage.

Amidst her laughter, she caught a glimpse of the leaves swaying in the wind outside the window, and a sense of security emerged in her heart, as if friendship had taken root in her heart from a certain moment and remained green despite wind and rain.

The night lights shone on them, and an indescribable warmth flowed between the three of them.

100. Gangen Xingguo: You are so cute when you are shy~

This sense of familiarity is a mark that cannot be erased by time and distance, and it is the best proof of lasting friendship.

Time goes on and their conversation never stops, but the emotion of silently watching over each other in their hearts has been best explained and confirmed in this reunion.

Under the cover of night in the city, the three of them walked slowly along the street.

The sky is dotted with stars, faint but enough to guide their souls.

The street lamps cast a soft halo, lengthening the shadows.

Sheng Zhen, Wu Lingyang and Xing Guo walked in unison, their unspoken tacit understanding making them seem like one whole.

“I haven’t walked like this in a long time.”

Wu Lingyang waved his hand, trying to touch Ye Feng.

He took a deep breath, and the slightly cool air instantly brought him back to many years ago, when he was a young boy running on the city streets countless times.

"Yes, life always makes people busy unexpectedly."

Shengzhen tapped his thigh absentmindedly with his fingers, inadvertently slowing his pace.

The rhythm gave his mind a moment of peace.

Xing Guo tugged at her scarf and sighed slightly, "Sometimes I wonder, is what we have been pursuing for so many years really worth it? Is the price behind these so-called successes too high?"

Her words lacked her usual playfulness, and what was revealed at this moment was a genuine self-doubt.

“I think it’s worth it.”

Shengzhen stopped, turned around, and looked at her seriously. "Without the accumulation of the past, we might not know how to cherish the present. Just like this reunion, if we didn't have those experiences, how could we feel so at ease?"

His determination made Xing Guo smile, and her emotions were instantly relieved: "You can always find some convincing reasons."

"Actually, I just want myself to believe it."

Shengzhen shrugged and motioned for everyone to continue walking.

Wu Lingyang interrupted, breaking the somewhat serious atmosphere: "Don't you think that the night view of this city is actually beautiful? Sometimes I wonder if I have forgotten to appreciate it because I am too busy."

"Well, that's true."

Xingguo nodded in agreement, his eyes flicking across the busy streets to the lights in the distance.

She felt that the flickering lights seemed to convey some kind of hope, bringing comfort to people in this vast night.

In this way, they talked in low voices all the way, occasionally accompanied by hearty laughter.

The city night is quiet yet full of vitality.

It is time that has washed away their once sharp edges, leaving behind the warmth of reliance and trust.

When passing a park entrance, Shengzhen suggested sitting down and enjoying a moment of tranquility.

So, the three of them sat side by side on the bench, soaking up the night and each other's company.

Time no longer seems urgent, and the burdens of life seem to become as light as a feather.

This indescribable sense of intimacy is undoubtedly the best gift that time has given them.

It was late at night, but the gentle breeze still caressed the entire city.

The three people on the bench were completely immersed in an indescribable comfort and tranquility.

Wu Lingyang raised his head slightly, letting the stars in the night sky come into view, and smiled slightly: "Every time I'm with you, I feel like time has been frozen."

Xing Guo glanced at him and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Is it because you feel too bored when you are with us, and time passes so slowly?"

Wu Lingyang was so amused that he was at a loss for words, his face slightly flushed: "No, that's not what I meant! I just feel that... when I'm with you guys, the pressure disappears, as if time has become unimportant at this moment."

Sheng Zhen gently patted Wu Lingyang's shoulder: "Ignore her little teasing. Xingguo is just like that, she likes to joke around."

Xing Guo stuck out his tongue, then blinked and leaned forward, revealing a bit of mischief: "Oh, Wu Lingyang, I was just teasing you! But it's really relaxing to be together, especially when your face is flushed, it makes me feel good. You're so cute when you're shy."

Wu Lingyang smiled helplessly and could only scratch his head: "You just like to bully honest people."

He felt warm in his heart, because he knew that this was Xingguo's way of expressing intimacy.

The topic gradually turned to their respective memories. Everyone was very engaged. Xing Guo deliberately used some tricks to tease Wu Lingyang from time to time to make the atmosphere more relaxed and lively.

Shengzhen watched the interaction between the two friends with a smile, and felt warm in his heart.

As the night deepened, the door of the Wanshiwu made a slight creaking sound after Wu Lingyang gently pushed it open.

·· ····Request flowers··· ···

The three of them returned to a familiar environment. There was a faint woody fragrance in the air, as if welcoming their return.

Xing Guo stretched himself, his face slightly tired, but still full of energy: "I'm finally back. This day has been really long."

"Yeah, I feel like my body is being hollowed out."

Wu Lingyang agreed, and then was amused by his own somewhat exaggerated statement. He quickly glanced at the furnishings in the room, and a gentle sense of security rose in his heart.

Shengzhen smiled and took out a few towels from the closet: "Go wash up quickly, you almost look like a panda eye. Goodnight tea is on the coffee table. I made some mint tea to help you sleep."

.... .. 0

Xing Guo trotted to the bathroom and casually shouted as he closed the door, "It doesn't matter who washes first, hurry up, I just want to lie down on the bed!"

Wu Lingyang shook his head and chuckled, "This girl is always so anxious."

He sighed slightly and looked at Shengzhen: "You seem to be particularly silent today, is it because you are tired?"

Shengzhen stopped what he was doing, turned around, his eyes gentle but firm: "I'm not tired, it's just that watching you two joking with each other makes me feel relaxed. Such moments are rare and precious."

Wu Lingyang nodded, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

He knew that such friendship among three people was more like a silent understanding, which was an invisible support to him.

The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped. Xing Guo poked his head out, with tears still lingering between his brows, and teased mischievously, "Wu Lingyang, it's your turn. Oh, by the way, help me get the skin care products on the sink. I'm too lazy to go in again."

Seeing Xingguo wiping his hair with a dry towel and laughing childishly, Wu Lingyang felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll be right there."

He walked quickly into the bathroom, handed over the skin care products, and seeing the smile on her face, he couldn't help but gently ruffle her hair.

"Oops, stop messing up my hair!"

Xingguo pouted and waved her hand to signal him to step back, but there was no trace of blame in her words.

While we were laughing and joking, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Meanwhile, Shengzhen had already brewed three cups of hot mint tea, the aroma of which filled the night air.

101. A date with Gangen Xingguo on the beach

She handed each of them a cup and said softly, "Go to bed early. Tomorrow is a new day."

The three of them smiled at each other. The relaxed atmosphere in the room made them feel warm and peaceful.

Everyone picked up a book or electronic device and quietly spent the last moments of the day, gradually falling asleep with warmth and peace of mind.

That night, the wind blew gently outside the window, as if it was a whisper from the years, softly saying "happiness is always here".

The next morning, the sun shone into the room through the thin curtains, and the air was filled with the unique freshness of early summer.

When Wu Lingyang woke up, he was the only one left in the room.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw a note left by Shengzhen on the table: "Go to work, come on, have fun together!"

He stretched and turned to look out the window. The sun was shining brightly.

He knew that today would be a comfortable day.

He got up, washed, and walked out of the room.

Xing Guo was lying on the sofa, holding a fashion magazine. When she saw him come out, she immediately waved happily.

"Good morning, Wu Lingyang! The weather is nice today. Are you ready to go to the sea together?"

Xingguo's voice is still full of vitality, like a ray of sunshine melting into the air.

Wu Lingyang smiled and nodded: "Of course, the timing is very accurate."

"That's good!"

Xingguo's eyes lit up, "In fact, I also prepared some snacks, as energy supplies for the journey."

After breakfast, the two packed up, each took a small bag, and set off for the beach.

Along the way, they rode their bicycles through the alleys of the city. The sun shone on the streets. Everything seemed so full of life, with a feeling of light animation.

Wu Lingyang felt the wind blowing past his cheeks and felt particularly relaxed.

When we arrived at the beach, the waves were gently hitting the beach and there was a vast expanse of blue water in the distance.

Xing Guo stood on the beach and shouted excitedly: "Hey, look at how clear the waves are. I really want to jump over them!"

Wu Lingyang looked at her and couldn't help but smile, saying: "If we can't wait until swimming time, at least we can feel the sea breeze first."

The two walked side by side, barefoot on the soft beach. The sound of the waves mixed with the laughter of children and the cries of seagulls seemed to be a melody unique to this summer.

Xing Guo scattered the snacks in his hand on the beach, savored them carefully, and exclaimed: "These cookies and the sea breeze are a perfect match!"

"Yes, sometimes simple enjoyment is also a kind of happiness."

Wu Lingyang replied, hoping that such times could last longer.

They found a quiet place to sit down, with the coastline behind them.

Xing Guo lay on the beach and pointed at the sky: "Look, that cloud really looks like a running deer."

"You have such a vivid imagination."

Wu Lingyang smiled and said, "But looking at these clouds, I think of Shengzhen. She must also be imagining how broad her sky is."

"That's right, she always works so hard."

Xingguo dropped his joking tone and said, "I hope we can all achieve what we want."

Wu Lingyang and Xing Guo sat on the beach, enjoying the gentle afternoon sunshine. The air was filled with the salty sea breeze, as if telling the secrets of autumn.
