Super Big Bang

The effect was unexpectedly good.

[Friendship points from Tang San +10.]

Su Yun couldn't help but sigh again; he truly lived up to being the protagonist!

Hearing Su Yun's question, Tang San took a deep breath.

"Um... You left in such a hurry earlier that you dropped your handkerchief. I picked it up, so I'm returning it to you."

After speaking, he let go of Old Jack's hand, took the handkerchief from his bosom, turned to Su Yun, and carefully handed it over.

Looking at the handkerchief Tang San offered, Su Yun's expression was somewhat complex. The current Tang San was humble and polite, showing not a hint of the "Way of Seeking Death" attitude he was known for.

"Alright, thank you."

Taking the handkerchief, Su Yun's voice remained flat. Although he had accepted cross-dressing, he still had his bottom line.

Wearing women's clothing was one thing, but his heart remained that of a man. He would absolutely never sell his looks or flirt with others just for friendship points.

Watching Su Yun take the handkerchief, Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

"You're welcome."

Having said that, Tang San pressed his advantage.

"Um, I'm very sorry! I think I've truly forgotten your name. Although it might be presumptuous, I would like to get to know you all over again."

After Tang San finished speaking, he looked at Su Yun expectantly.

Su Yun could even see hope and pleading in his eyes.

Was it really that exaggerated?

Su Yun subconsciously touched his own face.

Just then, Old Jack, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Little San! How long has it been, and you don't recognize Xiao Yun anymore? Didn't she just come looking for you to play not long ago?"

"Xiao Yun?"

Hearing Old Jack's words, Tang San murmured in doubt, his brows furrowing as if he were trying to recall something. Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, his eyes widened abruptly as he looked at Su Yun.

"You are Su Yun... Yun?"

Hearing this, Su Yun did not answer, continuing to stare at Tang San with a blank expression.

At this moment, Tang San's expression was incredibly rich, shifting from shock to astonishment, and finally to disbelief.

Wasn't Su Yun a boy? Aside from his long hair being quite prominent, his appearance could only be described as delicate.

Looking at the beautiful girl before him who resembled a porcelain doll, Tang San found it truly difficult to connect the two.

Thinking back to how Su Yun had previously sought him out to play, and how he had been cold and distant, keeping the other party at arm's length, Tang San suddenly understood why the other party was so cold now.

A trace of guilt and regret welled up in his heart, and he could only offer a dry apology.

"I'm sorry, I... I..."

Tang San didn't know what to say next.

He couldn't very well say that he hadn't thought much of Su Yun before, and now that he knew she was a girl, he regretted it.

As a man himself, Su Yun instantly grasped Tang San's psychology, and a thought even popped into his head.

If he gave him a way out now, he might even be able to harvest another wave of friendship points.

But was this really okay? It violated his vow to only cross-dress and never flirt.

At this moment, Su Yun's thoughts were once again plunged into a great struggle.

Finally, looking at the System Mall and the various lottery tickets, Su Yun took action.

"I'm the one who should be saying sorry. It was me who kept pestering Brother Little San, wasting Brother Little San's time. It was only right for Brother Little San to be annoyed with me and pretend not to know me."

After speaking, he bit his lip with his teeth, revealing a stubborn look, and slowly lowered his head, appearing so dejected.

Su Yun didn't know anything about the "art of tea," but he was a man, and men understood men best.

When encountering misunderstandings and conflicts, most men's reactions were to choose to solve the problem. At such a time, if the other party avoided them or acted coldly, it would only wear down their sense of guilt and gradually make them angry.

Therefore, these words from Su Yun not only provided Tang San with a way out, allowing him to explain himself, but also deepened the sense of guilt in his heart.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the guilt already present in Tang San's heart was instantly magnified, leaving him somewhat flustered.

"I didn't!"

Tang San waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's mainly because your change in attitude before and after was just too drastic."

In truth, Tang San wanted to gloss over the question of why he had ignored Su Yun earlier.

Yet, looking at the girl before him, he still found himself telling a lie on impulse.

"Actually, it wasn't that I didn't want to acknowledge you before; it's just that I'm not very good at interacting with people."

After speaking, fearing that Su Yun wouldn't believe him, he added once more.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Old Jack. I didn't have any friends at all back in Soul Saint Village."

Old Jack, standing to the side, heard this and nodded gently.

"Xiao Yun, what Xiao San says is true!

He really doesn't have any friends, and most of the time he's busy taking care of that drunkard father of his."

Given his usual temperament, if Old Jack had spoken of Tang Hao like this, Tang San would definitely not have given him a pleasant look and would have spoken up to defend him.

But today, Tang San said nothing at all, looking at Su Yun with an expectant expression.

His demeanor conveyed: See! Even Old Jack said so; I didn't ignore you on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she revealed a bright, sunny smile.

"Alright then~

Then I'll forgive Brother Tang San.

Let me reintroduce myself; my name is Su Yun."

After speaking, she reached out a hand as fair as jade toward Tang San.

In that instant, Tang San felt the surrounding clamor fade away, leaving only himself and the girl before him in the world.

Against the light, the morning sun perfectly outlined her incredibly exquisite profile, her hair tips edged with a faint golden glow.

That magical, smiling face was like the first ray of warm sunlight piercing through the clouds when the ice and snow melted in early spring—so warm and comforting.

Tang San could clearly hear his own disobedient heart let out a loud "thump" within his chest, as if it had been struck hard by something soft yet powerful.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San tried his best to appear calm and collected as he also reached out his hand.

"My name is Tang San!"

And in his heart, Tang San was already secretly swearing an oath.

I will protect this smile.

As their hands clasped together, Su Yun could feel Tang San's nervousness, for his palm was covered in sweat.

...

Looking at the notifications provided by the system panel once more, Su Yun struggled to suppress the excitement in her heart, maintaining the smile on her face!

A single smile had actually yielded 100 friendship points directly—it was a massive windfall! This undoubtedly proved just how wise and brilliant her decision had been!

The ice had been broken.

The two began to chat normally, and by the time they arrived at Martial Soul Hall, their relationship had taken a significant step forward.

At this moment, seven children had already gathered at the entrance; including Su Yun and Tang San who arrived last, there were nine in total.

The arrival of the two instantly attracted the attention of everyone present—or to be precise, it was Su Yun who attracted it, as the children in the village didn't think much of Tang San, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is that girl? She's so pretty!"

"Yeah, but why did she come with Tang San?"

"Are they relatives?"

"Impossible! How could Tang San have such a pretty relative!"
