She seemed to smell the melon again, and was about to open the system to check when Zhao Huizhen's voice rang out.

"Luoluo, Xi Che, are you two tired?"

Zhao Huizhen had a rough idea of what Lu Yanshi's father wanted to say this time, and guessed that he wouldn't be able to finish in a short time. She looked at Shen Luoluo and Shen Xiche.

"If you're tired, go over there to rest and have something to eat. It might take a while to get better here."

Shen Luoluo was naturally very happy. Not having to deal with these chairmen and such was the best thing ever. Her face was practically frozen from smiling all night! She immediately left with Shen Xiche.

"Luoluo!" Shen Luoluo had just stepped out of the crowd when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

It was Qin Shiyue. Qin Shiyue waved happily at her. Behind her were Qi Yang, Chen Jiashu, and Class Monitor Song Qinghe.

The group stepped forward, Qin Shiyue mysteriously pulled a gift box from behind her back and handed it to Shen Luoluo, smiling slyly, "Luoluo, this is a gift that we carefully selected. We hope you like it!"

"What is it?" Shen Luoluo asked, seeing her mischievous grin, guessing that it was definitely not an ordinary gift.

Just as he was about to open it, Qin Shiyue stopped him, pressing her hands on the gift box. "No, no, no, you can't look at it now. You can open it when we get home!"

She seemed to have forgotten that Shen Luoluo had Intelligence System. However, although Shen Luoluo was curious, she didn't bother to find out what it was. Since she had said so, she wasn't in a hurry to know. She would just wait until she got home to find out!

"Shen Luoluo." Just as she accepted the gift, Xiang Lu appeared.

Qin Shiyue frowned instinctively when she saw the person who had arrived. "Why is she here too?"

In Qin Shiyue's memory, Xiang Lu was Shen Anya's good friend. Although the two had a falling out because of Lu Yanshi, she was still on Shen Anya's side, so Qin Shiyue still harbored hostility towards her.

Xiang Lu didn't care what others thought of her. She was just there to give Shen Luoluo a gift. As long as Shen Luoluo liked it, that was all that mattered. Let others think what they wanted!

She handed him the gift, saying, "Happy birthday! This is the gift I promised you. I hope you like it."

Qin Shiyue blinked. Was she really here to give a gift? She glanced at the gift and immediately recognized it as a haute couture gift box from the world-renowned luxury brand Y Brand. The contents were worth at least five million. As expected of the Xiang Family, she was ruthless when it came to giving gifts.

Well, I have to admit, when it comes to money, the young lady has the upper hand!

"Thank you." Shen Luoluo naturally accepted the gift and expressed her gratitude. Seeing that she was still standing there and not planning to leave, she tentatively asked, "Shi Yue and I are going to the rest area to get something to eat. Do you want to come?"

Xiang Lu's eyes lit up instantly, visibly delighted, "Is it okay!"

It is a declarative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

And so, what started as a duo became a trio.

The three of them grabbed some food, sat at a small table in the rest area, happily enjoying their meal and watching the people coming and going.

Qin Shiyue scooped a spoonful of strawberry ice cream cake and put it in her mouth. The rich strawberry sauce spread in her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the man passing by.

The man was dressed in a burgundy suit, stylish and sophisticated, but he walked with a limp. Qin Shiyue's radar had already been activated. "This man's walking posture..."

Xiang Lu also noticed. The sophisticated attire and the way he walked Xiang Lu instantly realize something, and she followed up on Qin Shiyue's words. "Could he be gay?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Qin Shiyue replied.

No, no, no!

As Qin Shiyue spoke, Shen Luoluo had already activated the Intelligence System: [He's not gay; he limps because he got bitten on the butt by a dog on his way to his lover's house.]

Xiang Lu and Qin Shiyue stopped eating their desserts and exchanged a glance simultaneously. "Going to your lover's house and getting bitten by a dog? What happened?"

Shen Luoluo never disappoints them.

[This man's mistress was also another man's mistress, and she lived in the same neighborhood as that man.]

[The man used the excuse of walking the dog to meet his lover every day. One day it rained, and everyone thought he wouldn't go, so he went to meet his lover. But it turned out the man didn't go; instead, his wife went out to walk the dog.]

[Then the dog took the wife to her lover's house, and the man was bitten by the dog, thus exposing the fact that the man was keeping a lover in the neighborhood!]

Xiang Lu and Qin Shiyue both widened their eyes and nodded. So that's how it is. They really deserved to be bitten!

Just when she thought the story was over, Shen Luoluo's inner voice echoed again—

[Then the man's wife discovered her husband's infidelity and put up a banner in the neighborhood congratulating man XXX on taking mistress XXX as a prostitute, writing both their names on the banner, instantly making the man and his mistress infamous in the neighborhood!]

Xiang Lu couldn't help but clap quietly. "Awesome! That's how you deal with those two scoundrels! Make them lose all face!"

Shen Luoluo was unaware that the two could hear her thoughts. She propped her chin on her hand, looking somewhat worried. [It's a pity I can't say anything carelessly, otherwise I'd have plenty of gossip here. Just the people in this banquet hall alone—I could gossip about them for ten days and ten nights and still not finish!]

Qin Shiyue and Xiang Lu shook their heads frantically, "No, no, no, you speak! We can hear you!"

[For example, not far ahead, there's the woman in the purple cheongsam, and her son and daughter beside her.]

[The youngest son is gay, and the youngest daughter is lesbian. To avoid being discovered, they swap partners and bring them home. The aunt in the purple cheongsam is unaware of this and even makes their partners sleep separately, so the boys sleep with boys and the girls sleep with girls, which perfectly matches their original wishes.]

[The two of them almost always swapped partners like this, and they went through several partners in total. The woman in the purple cheongsam never noticed and was actually quite happy that their partners got along well with each other!]

[Also, the couple in white suits who are talking, and the couple opposite them, appear to be very loving and harmonious on the surface, but in reality, they are both cheating on each other, uh... kind of like a couples swapping...]
