Why don't you fancy them?

"Rustle rustle..."

Under the bright moonlight, a figure emerged from the bushes.

"Finally, I can relax." Lin Li, stepping onto the road, had reached the safe zone. His tense nerves could finally loosen up.

The silver van was parked under a roadside tree. After being parked all afternoon, some leaves blown down by the wind had landed on the car roof.

"Click."

"Bang."

Opening the car door and getting in, Lin Li changed out of his camouflage uniform.

After changing, he started the car, turned it around, and drove towards the city.

There were no streetlights on the road from the wilderness to Chenghua Avenue, and it was pitch black all around, with no sign of life.

During the day, it didn't feel bad at all, but now that it was dark, driving alone on such a quiet stretch of road made one feel a bit uneasy.

However, this unsettling atmosphere didn't last long because the van Lin Li was driving soon reached Chenghua Avenue, where the subsequent stretches of road were illuminated by streetlights.

Normally, he wouldn't even notice these streetlights, but at this moment, the dim yellow light actually had the magical effect of dispelling people's inner unease!

No wonder those beast hunters interviewed on TV said that being a beast hunter isn't a job for just anyone.

It's because they frequently travel between the crisis-ridden wilderness and the peaceful, stable cities. The contrast is just too great.

Many cultivators who have just become Beast Hunters can't get used to this contrast. They can't hold on for long and don't want to go into the wilderness anymore. Instead, they are willing to stay in the comfortable city and find an ordinary job.

Seven ten in the evening.

"Click."

"Bang."

Opening the door, Lin Li returned home, turned on the lights, walked into the living room, and turned on the air conditioning.

"So hot, today's temperature is several degrees higher than yesterday. It's only just entered July and it's already this hot. It looks like this summer is going to be much hotter than last year!"

Standing in front of the air conditioner, feeling the cool air it blew out, Lin Li muttered to himself.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

His stomach was protesting, urging him to eat dinner quickly.

Although he had bought a lot of ingredients at the market in the morning, Lin Li, who had worked hard in the wilderness all afternoon, really didn't feel like cooking dinner now.

Since he wasn't cooking, he had to order takeout.

While enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner, Lin Li pondered what to eat for dinner.

"It's been a while since I had KFC. I'll have KFC tonight!"

Opening the food delivery app, he found the KFC store and ordered three spicy chicken thigh burgers, one order of fries, two chicken wraps, one popcorn chicken, and two fried chicken legs and two pairs of fried chicken wings.

After placing the order and paying, he checked the delivery time for the food delivery guy, which was about forty-five minutes. So, Lin Li went back to his bedroom to get his clothes and take a shower.

The weather was so hot today, and he had been running and jumping in the wilderness, sweating profusely. If he didn't take a shower, the delivery guy might laugh at him when he picked up the food. Lin Li couldn't bear that embarrassment.

"Splash..."

In a short while, the sound of water from the showerhead echoed from the bathroom. At the same time, off-key singing could be heard from inside.

Ugh... Besides his cooking skills, Lin Li's singing ability didn't seem to be very high either!

Happiness Garden residential area.

Su Yue, who had just finished showering, had her hair tied up in a bun and was wearing a pink, girlish silk slip dress.

When she bought this silk slip dress, she had specifically considered comfort and chose a loose fit.

However, her own generous bosom had forced the loose-fitting silk slip dress to stretch high, giving it a somewhat tight effect.

To be honest, Su Yue, who was mature, beautiful, and had a hot figure, looked uniquely charming in this girlish silk slip dress. But at this moment, no one could appreciate her charm.

"Ring ring..."

Su Yue, sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching television, reached out and picked up her phone, which was placed beside her.

Glancing at the caller ID, she saw it was her mother.

"Hello."

"What are you doing?"

"Watching TV! Mom, is there something you wanted to call me about?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing?"

"..." Su Yue detected a hint of dissatisfaction in her mother's voice.

She was silent for a moment, then said to her mother with a smile, "Of course, you're my dear Mom. You can call me whenever you want..."

"Alright, stop joking around with me... I called you because I wanted to ask why you've been turning down Xiao Hao's invitations to go out so many times?"

She knew her mother called for this very reason… Su Yue, with a helpless expression on her pretty face, muttered to herself before explaining to her mother.

"Mom, I've been busy lately! I haven't had any free time, so when Zhang Xiaohao asked me out to dinner, I couldn't go."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother!

Su Yue's mother clearly knew her daughter very well. Upon hearing Su Yue's explanation, she didn't believe a word of it. "You're an elementary school music teacher. The students are on summer vacation now, what could you possibly be busy with?"

"It's like this, Aunt Liu's employee had to go back to their hometown for something, so she asked me to go over and teach her kids for a few days?

I've been preparing lesson plans all this time… I don't have time for anything else!" Su Yue said, half-truthfully.

"..." Su Yue's mother fell silent.

The Aunt Liu her daughter mentioned was named Liu Yanhong, her college classmate. She now ran an interest-based training class in Rong City, primarily teaching children to draw, sing, and dance.

Since her daughter was skilled in all three areas, it made sense that her old classmate would ask her to help out.

"Mom, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you think I'm lying to you!

If you don't believe me, you can call Aunt Liu right now and confirm if what I said is true," Su Yue added when her mother remained silent.

"Xiao Yue, don't use Aunt Liu asking for your help as an excuse. Don't you think I know what you're up to?"

"Mom… what do you mean? I don't have any ulterior motives!"

"Xiao Yue! Zhang Xiaohao graduated from a prestigious university and even studied abroad. Now he's returned to China and is a high-level executive at a major company with unlimited prospects.

A month ago, he came to your dad's birthday banquet with his parents. You've seen what he looks like.

Zhang Xiaohao is tall, handsome, cheerful, and impeccable in how he handles himself and interacts with others. Why aren't you interested in him?"
