Vermouth's Practical Test!

"Chen, do you want to eat something I cook? Then let's go buy groceries now! I'll make a feast," Ran Mouri said.

After buying groceries at the mall, Wuyou drove Ran Mouri to his home.

"Heh! So Gin can be that careless too." Vermouth gave a disdainful smile.

Chen smiled faintly. Gin really had lost his mind. Back then, he stopped Vodka from shooting because he was afraid of attracting the police's attention—but couldn't
