At this moment, Su Muwan's heart was filled with a feeling she had never experienced in her previous life.
It was different from happiness, joy, or pleasure...
It was...
Su Muwan gently pursed her lips, her face showing a slight blush, perhaps from the evening glow.
She looked at Qin Luo's profile as he smiled while watching the sunset beside her.
In her heart... she realized this emotion was actually...
Happiness.
Being with Qin Luo made her feel... satisfied... complete... and... happy.
Is this the feeling I read about in books?
In my previous life, I thought it was ridiculous and childish that humans could have such emotions.
But now I realize...
Su Muwan! Your past self was so pretentious!
Thinking this.
Su Muwan tremblingly reached out and grabbed Qin Luo's wrist.
He noticed and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong, Young Miss?"
The Young Miss's hand was small, cool, but very comfortable.
Su Muwan shook her head and slowly spoke, looking at Qin Luo with a genuine smile, "Nothing, let's go back."
"As you wish, Young Miss."
Never mind, I'll tell him next time.
When I'm... completely mentally prepared.
But.
If I confess and Qin Luo actually agrees, then wouldn't that mean...
We'd really be boyfriend and girlfriend?
What would we do then? Would things stay the same as they are now?
But what if Qin Luo doesn't agree?
Just then.
Qin Luo's words brought her back to reality.
"By the way, Young Miss, there's trending news about us online."
Su Muwan came back to her senses and magnanimously shook her head: "It's probably the news that reporter just posted. I didn't expect us to trend so quickly, this is good news, increasing my popularity!"
"Um... but the headline doesn't seem like good news."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Luo read it word by word: "The headline is..."
"Shocking! Jiang City's Young Miss Su comes to island, throws weight around without paying, helpless shop owner breaks down crying and kneels, forced to give away plush toys to bear all costs!"
"Is this the distortion of humanity or the collapse of morality? Stay tuned to UU Shock Department..."
Crack!
As Su Muwan listened, her smile gradually froze.
Then, with eyes wide in disbelief, she snatched the phone and let out a sharp cry: "What did you say?!!!"
....
....
Evening 18:30
Dinner time.
At the luxury hotel hosting the International Warrior Corps Selection Tournament.
Around a round table.
Zhu Lan, Shen Fei, and others sat on pins and needles, not daring to touch their chopsticks.
Su Bailian looked at the table full of seafood, tears of frustration rolling down her cheeks.
Whimper, I'm so hungry!
Missed lunch, and now can't eat dinner either!
She looked toward Su Muwan.
These damn media dogs, they'd make up anything for clicks!
Now none of them could even touch their chopsticks!
Click click click!
Meanwhile, Su Muwan was furiously arguing with netizens on her phone.
"I'm so angry! How dare they smear me like this?!"
"Do these media outlets have a death wish?"
"And these ignorant melon-eating masses being misled by self-media!"
"Should I throw them all into the ocean to feed the sharks?!"
Trembling with rage!
Who understands my pain!
If I had actually done something like this, that would be one thing!
But! I didn't do anything at all!
Don't you know what really happened? How dare you smear me like this!
I'm about to explode!
Su Muwan was shaking with anger, feeling like she might burst.
Meanwhile, Qin Luo was methodically peeling king crab, first placing a meaty leg on Su Muwan's plate.
Then he looked at Shen Fei and the others, smiling: "Go ahead and eat, it's fine."
After these words.
Shen Fei, Jiang Zixuan, Huang Lingfeng, Huang Lingyu, and Zhu Lan looked at Su Muwan, and seeing no reaction, finally started using their chopsticks.
"Alright, Brother Luo."
Zhu Lan: ?? Why am I calling him Brother Luo too?
Seeing the atmosphere lighten somewhat.
Qin Luo looked at Su Muwan again, consoling her: "Don't be angry, Young Miss. I've already had Ding Tongtong hack into those media companies that are smearing you."
"Soon, their company social media accounts will be posting apology notices."
Hearing this, Su Muwan immediately looked at Qin Luo with delight.
Look at that!
Now that's what you call professional!
This is professionalism!
Instantly, Su Muwan's anger dissipated.
She happily looked at the crab leg on her plate, her big eyes turning mischievously, then looked at Qin Luo: "Qin Luo~ I want to play with my phone, feed me~"
"Young Miss, there are so many people here, is it appropriate?"
"Hmph! You little cricket, don't talk back!"
"Yes, Young Miss."
Qin Luo stopped objecting, put on disposable gloves, then picked up a whole crab leg and held it to Su Muwan's mouth.
"Here, Young Miss."
"Munch munch! Mmm! Delicious!"
Su Muwan nodded happily, her little feet swinging under the table.
This is the benefit of abundant seafood!
All the seafood you can eat!
Qin Luo was happy to do this, peeling and feeding: "Try this one, Young Miss."
"Mmm! Delicious!"
"And this one!"
"Mmm! Delicious!"
"And you should eat some vegetables too."
"Qin Luo, I never eat vegetables!"
"Is that so... then... here comes the airplane~~"
"Awoo!"
Wait!
After swallowing, Su Muwan realized what happened and glared at Qin Luo: "Hey! Do you think I'm a child?"
Qin Luo shrugged: "Everyone's a child until they're married."
Ma...married?
Su Muwan blinked and snorted lightly: "Hmph... Qin Luo, where did you learn these cheesy lines?"
"Don't you like them, Young Miss?"
Su Muwan's heart trembled when she heard this.
She glared at Qin Luo - this rascal, did he have to ask that?
Thinking this, under the table.
Bang!
She lightly kicked Qin Luo's ankle.
"Young Miss?"
"Hmph! Figure it out yourself!"
Qin Luo chuckled and shook his head.
Hmm, figuring it out means, could you kick me a couple more times?
Preferably without shoes.
What neither of them noticed was.
Everyone else at the table was dumbfounded.
Clang!
Su Bailian dropped her crab claw onto her plate, looking incredulously at Qin Luo and Su Muwan who seemed to be in their own world.
Huh? Su Muwan??
How are you... chatting so happily with Qin Luo??
No way!
As a professional green tea expert, I'm sensing something very unusual here!
Shen Fei swallowed hard, feeling like he'd discovered something.
Huang Lingfeng was confused, leaning over to Jiang Zixuan to ask: "Brother Zixuan, have the Young Miss and Brother Luo always been like this?"
This doesn't seem like the typical interaction between a follower and Young Miss...
Jiang Zixuan was equally confused, shaking his head: "I don't know... I just got here..."
Huang Lingyu watched with her mouth slightly open, covering it with her hand, eyes excited.
Oh!
Could it be!
Young Miss and Brother Luo... those two?
No way!
Yah❤——!!
Zhu Lan was hungry, so she was eating seafood fried rice.
Noticing the strange atmosphere at the table.
She cautiously looked up, glancing at Qin Luo, then at Su Muwan.
Hmm, just the usual feeding work!
This is Young Miss's punishment for Qin Luo!
Nothing special!
Over!
Thinking this, she lowered her head and continued scooping rice.
Have to say, the fried rice here tastes pretty good.

Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual!
