After Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo took their seats, Su Mo looked at Xu Xiaoyan curiously.
"Hehe~"
Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said somewhat guiltily, "Siduo has never really gone shopping before, so I dragged her out for a walk."
"We just happened to be passing by your neighborhood, so we thought we'd drop by and stop by."
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan lying without batting an eye, Su Mo didn't bother to call her out.
It's only a few o'clock, and they've already come all the way here. They probably rushed here as soon as they left home.
"By the way, what brings Sister Gu Yue here to see you?"
Looking at Gu Yue, who was sitting silently to the side, Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously.
Thanks to Xie Xie's big mouth, Xu Xiaoyan already had a general understanding of the interpersonal relationships in Class Zero.
Gu Yue likes Tang Wulin, and her relationship with Su Mo is just so-so.
Although Su Mo's relationships with everyone were just so-so, he was the smartest person in Class Zero.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoyan guessed that Gu Yue must have encountered something and was unsure of what to do, which is why she came to find Su Mo.
Fearing that Gu Yue might say something shocking, Su Mo spoke up before Gu Yue could even open her mouth.
"Gu Yue has recently encountered some problems in her relationship and wants me to give her some advice."
Gu Yue, whose attention was completely drawn to Wu Siduo's thunder, glared at Su Mo with displeasure after she came to her senses, and then nodded heavily.
Xu Xiaoyan thought Gu Yue had come because of Tang Wulin, and immediately complained to Gu Yue, "If you ask me, Sister Gu Yue, that guy Tang Wulin is not good enough for you at all!"
"That guy clearly already has feelings for Senior Ouyang, but he's still taking your kindness for granted."
When she got excited, Xu Xiaoyan even waved her fist in dissatisfaction.
Because of Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan didn't have much affection for Tang Wulin and only regarded him as an ordinary classmate.
Moreover, when Xu Xiaoyan learned that Tang Wulin was keeping Gu Yue aloof, she even felt a sense of disgust towards Tang Wulin.
Xu Xiaoyan really couldn't understand why Gu Yue, such a heroic, ruthless, and taciturn leader, would fall for Tang Wulin, such a pitiful and nagging woman.
If she were Gu Yue, she would definitely choose Su...
Fine, she decided to respect Gu Yue's wishes.
She already has Mu Xi as a formidable enemy, and if Gu Yue joins the fray, how will she possibly fight back?
"Who is this……?"
After listening to Xu Xiaoyan's incessant complaints, Gu Yue looked at Wu Siduo next to Xu Xiaoyan with a serious expression.
"Oh, this is my cousin, Wu Siduo."
Seeing Gu Yue looking at Wu Siduo, Xu Xiaoyan quickly introduced Wu Siduo to Gu Yue.
“Sister Siduo, this is Sister Guyue whom I mentioned to you.”
Neither Wu Siduo nor Gu Yue spoke, but nodded in tacit agreement.
"Since everyone's here, why don't we go shopping together?"
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward and took the initiative to suggest something.
Just thinking about going shopping with her favorite boy and girl made Xu Xiaoyan so happy she almost fainted.
I was speechless.
This part of the story is finally coming to an end.
Chapter 108 The Night Is Beautiful
"Sister Gu Yue, Sister Si Duo, Su Mo, you guys should try this!"
The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds, with vendors calling out their wares incessantly.
Xu Xiaoyan squeezed out of the crowd carrying a bag of steaming hot pan-fried buns, her pretty face full of excitement and anticipation.
This is her favorite specialty of Donghai City: "the ultimate and most delicious crab roe bun".
Looking at the sizzling, oily fried buns in Xu Xiaoyan's hand, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with resistance; she didn't really like eating oily things.
But when Gu Yue saw Xu Xiaoyan's expectant eyes, she still reached out and took one as if possessed, taking a small bite like a hamster, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The pan-fried buns tasted surprisingly good. The rich crab roe burst in your mouth, accompanied by savory meat juices that filled your mouth. They were oily but not greasy, and instead brought out a hint of freshness from the depths of the sea.
Wu Siduo ate in a rather bold and unrestrained manner, finishing a fist-sized pan-fried bun in just two or three bites.
"delicious!"
Still wanting more after finishing her meal, Wu Siduo stuck out her pink tongue and licked her oily fingertips like a well-behaved kitten.
"hey-hey!"
Seeing her favorite food recognized, Xu Xiaoyan's face was filled with indescribable happiness.
After finishing their pan-fried buns, Xu Xiaoyan enthusiastically led Su Mo and the others on a tour of several famous scenic spots in Donghai City.
The group first enjoyed the sea breeze on the seaside boardwalk. In the distance, a lighthouse stood majestically, and flocks of seagulls flew by. The sound of flapping wings and waves crashing on the shore mingled together, creating a particularly pleasant atmosphere.
Afterwards, they went to the bustling pedestrian street, where various food stalls lined up in a row. The sweet aroma of candied hawthorn, the sizzling sound of grilled squid, and the steaming bowl of fish offal soup whetted their appetites.
Xu Xiaoyan was as excited as a little tour guide the whole way, constantly introducing each local delicacy.
Gu Yue and Wu Siduo nodded slightly from time to time, occasionally exchanging a few comments.
Su Mo mostly watched them quietly, a faint smile playing on her lips.
As dusk fell and the city lights came on, the night market in Donghai City began to bustle with activity.
Colorful neon lights reflected on the sea, sparkling like shattered diamonds, while the shouts of street vendors and the laughter of the crowds intertwined to create a lively symphony.
Holding a large cup of fruit tea, Xu Xiaoyan excitedly pointed to the Ferris wheel ahead, "Let's go over there! I heard that if you ride it, you can see the entire night view of Donghai City!"
Gu Yue looked up, her eyes revealing a rare hint of gentleness and expectation;
Wu Siduo smiled, seemingly also infected by the atmosphere;
Under the neon lights, Su Mo watched them silently, a sense of peace and contentment welling up inside him.
The group bought tickets and boarded the slowly rotating Ferris wheel.
The carriage slowly rose into the air, and the city lights were gradually left behind. The night view of Donghai City unfolded before their eyes like a huge scroll.
A full moon, radiating a soft glow, hung high in the sky, as if draping the entire city in a light silver veil.
The moonlight reflected on the distant sea, shimmering and sparkling, mirroring the lights and resembling a galaxy scattered across the earth.
“Wow—so beautiful!”
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled, her hands pressed tightly against the glass, her pretty face full of amazement, her excited little appearance like a bird seeing the stars for the first time.
Gu Yue sat gracefully to one side, her long legs crossed, but her gaze remained fixed on the night outside the window.
The neon lights reflected on her cool and beautiful face, making her even more charming.
Wu Siduo appeared calm, but she secretly glanced at Su Mo the moment the carriage quieted down.
Su Mo quietly looked out the window at the lights of thousands of homes, her figure reflected on the glass, outlined by the twinkling lights, both soft and firm.
"Su Mo, don't you think the moonlight is beautiful tonight?"
Xu Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with a cautious expectation.
"Well, it's beautiful."
Su Mo nodded, his tone calm, but it made Xu Xiaoyan's heart pound. She couldn't help but lower her head, pretending to concentrate on drinking her fruit tea to hide her panic.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan suddenly become shy, Gu Yue frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why.
Only Wu Siduo, a seasoned novel enthusiast, immediately understood Xu Xiaoyan's meaning after hearing her say, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
Wu Siduo never expected that Xu Xiaoyan, who usually appeared gentle and weak, would be so bold as to express her feelings to Su Mo in front of her and Gu Yue.
For a moment, Wu Siduo inexplicably felt envious of Xu Xiaoyan for being able to openly express her feelings to others.
"Bang bang bang!"
Fireworks suddenly burst into bloom in the night sky, their colorful lights instantly illuminating the entire expanse.
Startled by the sudden beauty, Xu Xiaoyan slightly opened her mouth, her eyes reflecting the dazzling fireworks, just like a little deer whose heart had been captivated by the night sky.
Gu Yue turned her head slightly to look at Su Mo. The moonlight and fireworks intertwined on her delicate face, outlining a unique temperament that combined coldness and gentleness.
Wu Siduo watched the fireworks quietly, but a ripple of emotion stirred within her heart.
This is the life she wants: traveling with her friends and enjoying a leisurely and happy daily life.
Instead of going through all sorts of training sessions like a cold, lifeless machine every day.
Wu Siduo's gaze swept over Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue, finally settling on Su Mo.
"Perhaps I will never forget this day!"
"..."
The next day at noon, in the training room
"Sister Gu Yue, you're amazing!"
Watching Gu Yue effortlessly conjure a Rasengan, Xu Xiaoyan blinked her bright eyes and looked at Gu Yue with admiration.
Even Wu Siduo, standing to the side, showed a hint of shock in her beautiful eyes after seeing Gu Yue's Rasengan.
You should know that she had been trained in controlling her soul power since she was a child, but even so, she was only slightly better than Xu Xiaoyan when learning the Rasengan.
But Gu Yue actually managed to successfully create it right away.
Faced with their shock, Gu Yue proudly raised her snow-white chin.
"No using mental power to cheat or take shortcuts!"
With dark circles under her eyes, Su Mo saw through Gu Yue's trick at a glance and immediately criticized her without any mercy.
Gu Yue and the other two didn't go back last night; instead, they stayed here.
They had already settled in, but after Xu Xiaoyan's persistent pleading, the three of them ended up squeezing into one bed.
