"Young Master Lian? The Lian family's young master?" The more Lian Xiangyu listened to Shen Dong'er ramble on, the more something felt off. "Wait, do we know each other? You make it sound like you knew me before this."
"You..." Shen Dong'er was at a loss for words. Still blocking Lian Xiangyu's view of Su Bai by the window, she rolled her eyes. "The Lian family's eldest son became a player in the Nightmare World, and just like in the real world, he keeps trying to hand out verbal checks worth seven figures. Anyone who spends a little time on that forum the Relevant Authorities just set up would know about that."
"Knowing about that and recognizing me in the Nightmare World are two different things, aren't they?" Lian Xiangyu frowned at Shen Dong'er, apparently finding the woman before him a little suspicious. "I don't like being interviewed, and I'm not bored enough to attend public events. I only dyed my hair after entering the Nightmare World. How exactly do you know me?"
Lian Xiangyu not only found Shen Dong'er suspicious, but also felt she was getting in his way. After all, she had been standing between him and the attendant Number Eight this whole time. Combined with the unmistakably calculating look in her eyes whenever she looked at him, it really made Lian Xiangyu regret agreeing to take her as a teammate.
Had he known Shen Dong'er was this strange, Lian Xiangyu would rather have gone solo in this hotel. At least then he could have enjoyed some quiet time alone with Number Eight.
"Don't tell me we used to date?"
Lian Xiangyu asked half in jest, never expecting Shen Dong'er's expression to change instantly.
"So you really don't remember me at all?" Shen Dong'er's face went deathly pale.
