“Yes indeed~ little husband, compared to us, you’re the one who should be worried about! Hehehe~”

Su Jiuli smiled as she gently patted Li Miaosheng’s head, and for no apparent reason, his nose tingled and his eyes almost welled up with tears.

At this moment, the atmosphere felt warm, like the winter sun shining straight into one’s heart.

But the next second…. when Su Jiuli glanced at Bai Ze

“Oh my~ isn’t this the gender-ambiguous Bai Ze? What’s wrong, itching for trouble again while I was gone? How dare you call this fox immortal an old demon?!”

“Tch, whether my gender is unclear or not is none of your business, and honestly, the older you get, the more troublesome you become, at your age you’ve probably already entered menopause in the demon world!”

“Hehe~ still as arrogant as ever, even if I’m in menopause, your two-thousand-year-old childish form is enough to make me laugh to death!”

“Isn’t that right, little husband~ this is a thousand-year loli, you know~ male during the day and female at night~”

Su Jiuli sneered, completely shattering the warm atmosphere at the table and replacing it with a strong smell of gunpowder.

…….

At this moment, as the one stuck in the middle, Li Miaosheng realized that no matter which side he supported……. it wouldn’t end well for him.

He could only try to mediate:

“Alright, alright! We’re all friends, like a family…..”

Bai Ze / Su Jiuli: “Who’s family with this old demon / genderless creature!……. little husband / human, shut up!”

Li Miaosheng: “………”

{These two really get along well~ since I can’t fit in, I might as well just eat my noodles!}

He glanced at the noodles on the table, then suddenly panicked:

{Ahhh! My noodles are soggy, cold! Even the beef is cold…~}

……………..

Meanwhile, elsewhere; Lin Tong had just finished her night shift and was about to head home…..

“Hey hey! Xiaotongtong, should we go to a nightclub and have some fun? This is the perfect time for nightlife~ maybe we’ll even meet some handsome guys!~~”

“Ah? Isn’t it too late? Let’s just go home, okay?”

Lin Tong looked a bit troubled and softly declined, but her best friend Chen Lin thought she was just being shy, and half-pulling, half-dragging, led her into a nearby nightclub called “Blossoming Years”….

As soon as they entered, a wave of noise hit them:

“Haha! As expected of a nightclub~ even at midnight, the lively atmosphere never fades….. yahoo~!”

Chen Lin shouted excitedly, but her voice was completely drowned out by the loud music; golden hits, DJ beats, and chaotic sounds flooded their ears, making Lin Tong uncomfortable as she tugged at Chen Lin’s sleeve and softly said:

“Um, Linlin, I don’t feel very well, can I go home first? It’s too noisy here, I feel really sleepy….”

“What? No way!” Chen Lin, now dressed casually, immediately refused.

She wore a dark blue top with a white cropped shirt underneath, showing off her figure, especially with her neat ponytail and black jeans, giving off a healthy and energetic vibe….

As for Lin Tong, she wasn’t dressed up much; just a simple white lace dress and a pair of ordinary red-framed glasses….

Yet it suited her unexpectedly well…

“Go home? Don’t act like an old lady~” Chen Lin grabbed her hand and led her to the counter, ordering two cocktails.

“Mm~ but I’m really sleepy; I didn’t rest well after switching shifts yesterday, how about we finish this drink and go home?”

“I’m begging you~!” she looked up with wide eyes at the girl with the ponytail.

Her pitiful expression, combined with her slightly messy long hair, softened Chen Lin’s heart:

“Alright then! Since Xiaotongtong is tired, we’ll leave after this drink….”

“Really?!”

“Really!” she replied helplessly, reaching out to grab a freshly made cocktail from the bar.

Just as she was about to drink it in one go, her hand slipped, and the drink splashed onto Lin Tong’s neck, soaking a large part of her chest.

It vaguely gave off an exposed feeling….

“Ah! I…. Xiaotongtong, I’m sorry, my hand slipped suddenly…..”

Chen Lin looked at what she had done and at Lin Tong, who looked completely drenched and wilted, and a wave of guilt surged inside her.

But Lin Tong’s reaction was strange; in a dazed, drunken-like tone, she muttered:

“Huh?! What happened; eh! That’s weird; Linlin turned into four people; hehe, four~ Lin……”

“Huh? What? Xiaotongtong, you haven’t even drunk anything, how are you drunk already~!”

She scratched her head, confused, but soon after, Lin Tong suddenly collapsed into Chen Lin’s arms, followed by the sound of soft snoring, looking somewhat adorable.

……..

Their situation was noticed by a handsome young man with long purple hair sitting in the corner; he covered his mouth and smiled.

That smile caught the attention of many girls in the nightclub, who couldn’t resist approaching him:

“Hey handsome~! May I ask who you are……”

Before she could finish, the young man raised two fingers and gently pressed them against the lips of the boldly dressed girl who had approached him.

He turned his head slightly and smiled with narrowed eyes:

“Miss, I didn’t invite you, so could you kindly go away?”

The girl froze; for some reason, she obediently returned to where she had been standing.
