Fang Xian waved his hand and walked toward the second floor.

Song Yizhou saw Fang Xian's exhaustion, gave a slight nod to Sun Heng and the others, and also headed upstairs.

Only Sun Heng and the other three were left downstairs, looking at each other in dismay.

Fang Xian really was such a sigma male.

Such a pretty girlfriend, yet Fang Xian was actually this cold?

It must be because he got bored after having her.

Sun Heng and He Qi exchanged a glance, and the common speculations of men arose in their hearts.

She really is so pretty.

Cai Qi looked dazedly at Song Yizhou's back.

Just being good-looking would be one thing.

From the moment Song Yizhou appeared, her poise and grace were simply too perfection.

What kind of guy could be liked by a girl like this?

Cai Qi guessed in her heart.

Did I blow my cover?

Crap.

Why did the real deal show up when I was making things up?

Fang Xian walked in front and his eyelids twitched slightly.

It must have been that he was too used to talking nonsense when hunting urban legends in his everyday life.

Now he was getting a tiny bit of retribution.

It would be a bit embarrassing to his pride if Sun Heng and the others found out he was bragging.

Still, it did not matter.

Fang Xian yawned.

He walked to the second floor.

Song Yizhou quickened her pace and followed by Fang Xian's side. "My cousin and I are staying in this suite. If you're done with your business, you can message me on WeChat. She really wants to thank you for saving her last time, which is very important to a young girl."

Fang Xian glanced sideways at Song Yizhou. "I know. Once I'm done with my business, I'll talk to you."

"And..."

Fang Xian paused slightly. "I said it before, don't run around outside the school lately."

He pointed outside the guesthouse. "Changzhao Reservoir hasn't been developed yet, and it's not safe here at all."

Song Yizhou looked at Fang Xian. "Then what about you?"

Fang Xian frowned.

Why was she turning it back on him?

"I'm different."

Fang Xian said calmly.

"Chiumi."

Xiao Jiu was somewhat curious about this pretty literary miss.

Unfortunately, Fang Xian directly opened the door. "Nothing else, I'm going to rest first."

Afterward, he shut Song Yizhou outside the door.

Song Yizhou stood outside the door.

Her heart began to ponder.

Fang Xian was here...

This information, she had better not tell Cousin Yao Hui first.

If she mentioned Fang Xian's business...

With that thrill-seeking personality of hers...

To reiterate.

Hunting urban legends was not treating guests to dinner.

It was not falling in love.

There was danger involved.

Fang Xian slept straight until six o'clock in the afternoon with this nap.

The summer reservoir at dusk.

Had yet to completely darken.

The sky all around the window presented a bizarre atmosphere.

With nothing gained yesterday, Fang Xian decided to continue taking the initiative tonight.

"If we can't find that urban legend [Incoming Call Alert Service Activation] today, we're going to catch fish!"

Big urban legends or small urban legends.

As long as they were caught, they were good urban legends.

On the large bed, Fang Xian hugged Xiao Jiu and said fiercely, "That human-faced fish looked like it had decent combat strength underwater; it'll be just right to show off my fishing skills."

Xiao Jiu understood half-heartedly as she looked at the dimming mist outside, feeling a little sleepy.

Fang Xian deliberately avoided the school nurse and Song Yizhou.

He walked to the first floor.

He heard that He Qi was going fishing tonight.

Just right.

Fighting alone would not do.

"Hello, Classmate He."

Fang Xian found He Qi, a smile on his face. "Still going fishing tonight?"

He Qi was somewhat in awe of Fang Xian now.

After all, being able to land such a pretty girlfriend, he definitely had awesome, extraordinary traits.

Unlike himself, who had liked Cai Qi for so long without the slightest sign of success.

Before He Qi could reply, Fang Xian's second sentence already arrived. "Count me in."

"I went and baited a spot last night too."

"You know what? I saw a super-sized fish."

Fang Xian gestured with an extremely exaggerated technique.

Under normal circumstances, He Qi would not believe this kind of news.

But ever since Song Yizhou came into the picture, He Qi truly believed it.

Big brother Fang Xian definitely wouldn't lie to me about this.

Only...

Sensing He Qi's hesitation, Fang Xian immediately unleashed his ultimate finishing move.

"You like that girl, I'll teach you a few tricks tonight."

"Don't worry, that's how I got my girlfriend."

This time, He Qi was directly defeated.

He said with a trembling voice.

"Then... together tonight?"

Fang Xian clapped his hands. "Good, it's a deal then. Meet outside our guesthouse in three hours. Be careful not to wake others; my girlfriend is a very light sleeper."

He Qi placed a finger over his lips. "Got it, I get it."

Nine-forty-six in the evening.

Yao Hui, who had spent the afternoon hanging out in the town, finished her shower and was drying her hair in the bathroom.

She hummed a tune, her mood clearly good.

"If you ask me, we can have more of these recreational activities. Right, Zhouzhou?"

Song Yizhou stood by the window.

While responding, she pulled aside the curtain.

"It's... Fang Xian."

"And one of those four senior schoolmates from the daytime."

"What are they going to do?"

Song Yizhou's beautiful eyes fluttered as she continued to observe.

"Bringing a lot of fishing gear, are they getting ready to go fishing?"

Song Yizhou narrowed her eyes as she watched the two gradually disappear down the path.

Just fishing... would they really end up covered in injuries?

Song Yizhou did not quite understand. Just as she was about to pull the curtains closed and take a shower, her expression changed slightly.

"Huh?"

In the distance, along the path Fang Xian had just taken.

A small silhouette appeared.

What was that thing?

It was not any wild beast.

Because that silhouette was walking upright.

No, to put it more bluntly, it was simply as if it were stalking Fang Xian.

An extremely peculiar feeling welled up in Song Yizhou's heart.

She took out her phone and snapped a picture.

[Changzhao Reservoir].

[No Swimming - Dog Hole Section].

"We... really have to crawl through here?"

He Qi asked with some hesitation.

Fang Xian: "Otherwise what, where did you fish and bait your spot last night?"

He Qi said it was at the edge of the reservoir.

Fang Xian looked as if he was disappointed in him. "Brother Qi, this is what you call student mentality."

"Fishing and chasing girls are the same. The core point isn't any routines, but daring to break conventions and emotional pulling."

With that, Fang Xian glanced at the fishing gear He Qi carried on his back and measured the dog hole with his eyes.

He took his favorite [Fire Axe] out of his pack.

Holy shit.

He Qi was startled, instinctively taking two steps back.

"Engineering students, when out and about, bringing some tools is completely normal."

Fang Xian enlarged the dog hole a size with the fire axe and asked somewhat strangely, "Don't you guys do metalwork practical training?"

He Qi's mind went blank.

Who the heck would normally pack a fire axe in their backpack?

However, say what he would, He Qi still accepted Fang Xian's explanation.

Having Song Yizhou vouch for him meant things were like this.

The two crawled through the dog hole and once again entered the interior of Changzhao Reservoir.

The same fishy stench.

Today, because there was no rain, the occasional chirping of some kind of insect made He Qi a little scared.

"Don't be scared."

"Girls need a sense of security. Treat me like the girl you like and protect me tonight—practice in advance."

Fang Xian said earnestly.
