For Tan Wenbin, the girl in his arms now is someone who would be utterly distraught over his "death".

Even Tan Wenbin himself can’t understand why she’s so fond of him.

The person in the driver’s seat got out. The girl was dressed in a black leather jacket with metal pendants and her hair tied up, exuding a sense of sharpness and coolness.

This look was like something straight out of a rock album cover, just missing an electric guitar and a headbanging sway.

Lin Shuyou looked at her, then at Zhou Yunyun in Brother Bin’s arms.

Wasn’t it said that Zhou Yunyun’s classmate resembled her?

This... how does she resemble her?

Lin Shuyou admitted she was very pretty and had a good figure, but this type of aura wasn’t what he liked. After all, Ah You was inherently a very proper and traditional person.

He could understand the pursuit of fashion and individuality and was even willing to support it, but that didn’t mean he could personally accept it.

The girl was also sizing up Lin Shuyou, having heard from Zhou Yunyun earlier that she would introduce him to a handsome guy.

He was indeed quite handsome, standing there with an indescribable uprightness, but she didn’t like these well-behaved, obedient boys since being with such boys easily dulled the zest for life.

Tan Wenbin’s gaze swept over the two of them, and he suddenly realized he had overlooked something.

He had initially thought that people who played well with Zhou Yunyun would be similar, but it’s common in social circles for complementary relationships to emerge.

For example, around someone like Zhou Yunyun, who is gentle and serene, it’s easy to have assertive female companions.

Tan Wenbin: "Yunyun, care to introduce us?"

Zhou Yunyun quickly wiped her tears and, with reddened eyes, smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. Linlin, this is my boyfriend, Tan Wenbin."

Tan Wenbin corrected, "Fiancé, actually. He’s already met the parents."

Zhou Yunyun playfully punched Tan Wenbin’s chest and continued, "This is Lin Shuyou, Binbin’s good friend from Fujian."

Tan Wenbin: "Ah You is like a brother from another mother to me."

Zhou Yunyun: "Chen Lin, my senior who’s a year older than me, from Wenzhou."

Chen Lin took the initiative to approach Lin Shuyou, who thought she wanted to shake hands, so he stepped forward and held out his hand.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin pulled out a cigarette from her pocket and handed one to Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou looked down at the cigarette in his palm.

Chen Lin tossed one to Tan Wenbin as well, then she took out an exquisite lighter, lit it with a "click", and skillfully inhaled and exhaled smoke rings.

Lin Shuyou silently put the cigarette between his lips.

It wasn’t just Ah You who was silent, but also the Divination Child.

Earlier, while sitting on the bridge waiting, the Divination Child had been repeatedly working on his mental preparation.

After seeing her in person, even the Divination Child clammed up.

Chen Lin lit her lighter again, brought it close to Lin Shuyou’s mouth, and helped him light his cigarette.

"You don’t smoke, do you?"

Lin Shuyou nodded, "I used to smoke, but then Brother Bin told me to quit."

Tan Wenbin, lighting his own cigarette, laughed, "Young people, it’s the prime time for growing, why smoke?"

Chen Lin pointed at Tan Wenbin’s hair and shrugged, "This hair color is quite trendy."

Only then did Zhou Yunyun notice that Tan Wenbin’s hair was white. She had been so preoccupied with checking if Tan Wenbin was truly alive that she hadn’t paid attention to details.

"Binbin, your hair..."

Tan Wenbin: "During my internship, my mentor said I looked too young, so to help with work, I dyed my hair white. Take a look, doesn’t it make me look more mature?"

Zhou Yunyun: "It’s not nice, makes you look older."

Tan Wenbin: "That just means it’s working. Don’t worry, it’ll turn black again eventually. I used a cheap, low-quality dye to save money.

Let’s go, let’s get breakfast in town first. There aren’t many places to eat in Shinan; let’s go to Shigang.

Chen, how about I drive?"

Chen Lin nodded and directly opened the car door to sit in the back seat.

Tan Wenbin threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, then got into the driver’s seat. Lin Shuyou opened the passenger side door, intending to sit in, but when he saw Zhou Yunyun approaching, he awkwardly held his hand under the door, preventing her from bumping her head.

Zhou Yunyun: "Ah You, you’re too polite."

Lin Shuyou smiled and then sat in the back seat, snuffing out his cigarette before getting in.

But once inside, he realized Chen Lin was still smoking, and the car had a lingering smell of stale smoke, indicating she didn’t particularly care for her car.

As the car started, Chen Lin asked, "Tan, how did you manage to have our Yunyun so devoted to you? If I wasn’t driving, she would have hurried back on the first bus this morning."

Tan Wenbin turned the car around and replied, "The high school class president falling for the class troublemaker sitting next to the teacher’s desk, isn’t that classic?"

Zhou Yunyun, her face flushed, sat in the front passenger seat, silent.

Chen Lin: "I told Yunyun that was because she was young, naive, and easily fooled. But Yunyun retorted, saying it wasn’t that. She said you were willing to risk your life to be good to her."

Zhou Yunyun reminded, "Linlin..."

Tan Wenbin pursed his lips and didn’t elaborate on the topic, only responding lightly, "It’s as it should be."

Back then, Shizhuo Zhao had cursed Yunyun out of jealousy, and Tan Wenbin went after her with Brother Xiao Yuan. That girl who cursed and harmed was dismembered by Tan Wenbin using the Yellow River Shovel.

Zhou Yunyun was unaware of these matters, but a woman’s intuition made her vaguely sense that those days, Tan Wenbin had done something significant for her.
