"It's a pity my mouth has a sore, so I can't eat anything too hot tomorrow," Xi Youli said from the side.
"You can eat it warm. Who told you to be so greedy today?"
"It's all because the lamb you made was too delicious."
"Are you being unreasonable?"
"Who's talking reason with you? It's all your fault."
"Fine, it's all my fault. You shouldn't drink this lamb soup tomorrow then."
"If it's delicious, I'll drink it. If it's not, I won't drink it even if you ask," Xi Youli said.
"It's not delicious," Guo Xuyang said, closing the pot lid, bidding farewell to a few people, and then going upstairs.
"What's wrong with this person? Doesn't he know that girls need to be coaxed?" Xi Youli commented.
"I feel like he has something on his mind," You Budena said from the side.
"What could he have on his mind? Is he afraid of You Xia's father chasing after us?"
"It's hard to say," You Budena said, glancing at Xiao Si.
Unfortunately, Xiao Si didn't understand what they were talking about, so he stood up, waved goodbye to the two women, and returned to his room.
"What if the city lord finds us?" Xi Youli said.
"What are you afraid of? My grandfather is here. It's fine."
You Budena said this and pulled Xi Youli up.
"Let's go, back to the room to sleep. We'll get up early tomorrow for lamb soup."
Guo Xuyang didn't sleep when he returned to his room. He had slept all day and was full of energy.
He lay on the bed, carefully recalling how Jialan had met him. It seemed random, yet deliberate.
He met You Budena playing death race, and was then conscripted by Jialan.
Initially, she intended to kill You Xia, but later changed her mind, only requiring him to win the race.
He was moved by Jialan's tragic story, his sense of justice swelling, and he agreed to Jialan's request.
From beginning to end, Guo Xuyang seemed to be controlled by Jialan's emotions. Was it simply because she was beautiful?
Guo Xuyang denied it.
What was extremely unusual was that when Jialan hugged Guo Xuyang to thank him after he won the race, she wasn't particularly excited. Instead, she seemed a little pleased.
The more Guo Xuyang thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.
He then recalled what Xi Youli had told him, that Jialan wasn't a good girl, but a promiscuous slut.
This might be Xi Youli's prejudice, but it wouldn't be without basis.
The more Guo Xuyang thought about it, the more it made sense. He felt like he had been set up.
However, that spaceship was real.
He woke up late today, so he would go and get that spaceship back first thing tomorrow morning.
Who cared if they were good or bad? Let them fight among themselves.
Guo Xuyang pulled the towel quilt over his head and was about to fall asleep when a thought struck him, and he extended his senses.
"I didn't expect Lan Lan to actually win.
That guy is just relying on his old man being the city lord, isn't he? We won't indulge him."
The tall man was holding a wine glass and speaking loudly with some young men and women.
"We can't say that. If it weren't for that short guy, Lan Lan wouldn't have won today.
But what I'm curious about is why You Xia seemed possessed when he crashed off the cliff at the end. He just stopped moving."
Another tall man said.
"Are you serious, Heil?"
"Would I lie to you? It's clearly visible in the surveillance footage from behind," Heil said.
"That's impossible. You Xia has run this course more than once or twice, and he would never make such a low-level mistake."
