On weekend afternoons, the sun shines through the mottled leaves, casting patches of golden light and shadows, like fragments of a dream, adding a bit of leisure to the streets.

Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer arrived at the familiar restaurant early and chose a seat by the window. They were waiting for Xiao Fangfei who was about to go to a competition out of town, and were preparing to see her off.

Ling Jiuer fiddled with the tableware gently while asking Gu Fanxing with some concern: "Xingxing, do you think Fangfei will be nervous in this competition? She is always carefree, I am really a little worried."

Gu Fanxing's face was filled with a warm smile: "Don't worry, Jiuer. Fangfei has an impetuous personality and is fearless. Besides, she is so strong, there will be no problem. Our responsibility today is to make her relax."

As he was speaking, Xiao Fangfei pushed the door open and walked in.

She wore a black motorcycle jacket with a unique riveted long-sleeved shirt underneath, ripped jeans and a pair of cool Martin boots. She looked very handsome and walked with style.

"Sisters, you must have waited a long time!" Xiao Fangfei strode over with a smile, and said energetically as soon as she sat down, "I am really looking forward to this competition. I have been training so hard recently, just looking forward to showing off my skills on the stage."

Gu Fanxing handed over the menu and said with a smile, "Don't think about the competition yet. Just look at what you want to eat and order as much as you want today."

Xiao Fangfei took the menu without hesitation, quickly ticked off a few of the three people's favorites, and did not forget to add a high-calorie dessert: "I've been exhausted from training recently, I must reward myself today."

After a while, all the dishes were served.

The three of them shared their recent life experiences while eating.

Gu Fanxing's eyes sparkled with curiosity and exploration when she talked about the school's archaeology courses: "This semester's courses are more difficult, but also more interesting. During the last field trip, I saw those ancient artifacts, which was like traveling through time and space and having a conversation with history. It was really shocking."

Ling Jiuer excitedly talked about her internship preparations, her eyes full of expectations for the future: "I consulted many seniors about internships and gained a lot. I feel like I am one step closer to my dream internship position."

Xiao Fangfei excitedly recounted the interesting things that happened during training: "Once I was practicing a very difficult move and I fell flat on my face. But I am not someone who gives up easily. I got up and continued practicing. The coach was stunned and kept saying that I was very strong."

The restaurant was filled with their laughter, which was warm and beautiful.

Suddenly, Jiang Xue came down from upstairs with her assistant.

Seeing Gu Fanxing and the others, Jiang Xue was slightly startled, then she gave a professional smile: "Oh, isn't this Fanxing, Jiuer and Fangfei? What a coincidence, you're having dinner here." Her voice sounded gentle and kind, but there was a barely perceptible indifference and arrogance in her eyes.

Gu Fanxing stood up politely and responded. A hint of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "It's indeed quite a coincidence. What's going on?"

Jiang Xue pointed to the assistant behind her and said casually, "I came here to discuss some cooperation with a client. I just finished and am about to leave."

Because Jiang Xue didn't like Gu Fanxing very much, Xiao Fangfei and Ling Jiuer just looked at Jiang Xue and ignored her, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Jiang Xue looked at her watch and said in a pretentious manner, "Then I won't bother you any more. I have something else to do. I'll leave first. We'll talk again when we have a chance."

Gu Fanxing nodded and said, "Okay, goodbye."

Looking at Jiang Xue's back as she left, Xiao Fangfei frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Every time I see her, I think of those bad things. Her arrogant look really makes me uncomfortable."

Gu Fanxing patted Xiao Fangfei on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think too much. Today is a farewell party for you. Let's be happy."

Ling Jiuer also quickly agreed: "Yes, Fangfei, you should focus on the competition, don't worry about other things, and play your best."

Xiao Fangfei took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I will definitely bring back a trophy and not let you down."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Gu Fanxing picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Xiao Fangfei with a smile: "Come, try this cake, it's sweet and makes you feel good."

Xiao Fangfei smiled and opened her mouth to eat it, her eyes lit up: "Well, it tastes really good, delicious!"

The three of them continued their meal, and the topic returned to a light-hearted and cheerful one.

Ling Jiuer reminded Xiao Fangfei like a worried older sister: "Fangfei, you must be careful when you go out. You must get enough rest before the game and don't tire yourself out."

Xiao Fangfei ate heartily while nodding and agreeing: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You should also study hard in school, and remember to share anything interesting with me."

Gu Fanxing raised the cup, his eyes full of encouragement: "Come on, let's have a toast, and wish Fangfei a triumphant return from the competition and win the championship!"

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp, their eyes filled with blessings and expectations for each other.

After dinner, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer accompanied Xiao Fangfei out of the restaurant.

"Fangfei, come on, we are waiting for your good news." Gu Fanxing hugged Xiao Fangfei tightly, his eyes full of reluctance and concern.

Xiao Fangfei hugged him back and said confidently, "I will, and you guys should do your best too. I'll bring you gifts when I come back."

Ling Jiuer walked forward and hugged Xiao Fangfei tenderly: "Have a safe trip. Remember to call us when you arrive to let us know you are safe."

Xiao Fangfei smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, I'm leaving."

Looking at Xiao Fangfei's departing back, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer felt a little empty in their hearts.

"I hope Fangfei can achieve good results." Ling Jiuer said softly, her eyes full of worry.

Gu Fanxing nodded and said firmly: "She will definitely do that. She is so hardworking and capable."

The two stood at the door of the restaurant and were about to leave when Gu Fanxing's attention was suddenly attracted by a figure across the street.

That was Gu Qingyue. She was wearing a fashionable beige windbreaker, sunglasses, and holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She was walking leisurely out of a coffee shop.

Gu Fanxing's eyes instantly became sharp, like a cheetah that found its prey, and a new strategy quickly formed in her mind. She thought, it's really a narrow road for enemies, this Gu Qingyue has tripped her up many times in the past, but this may also be an opportunity.

Gu Qingyue and Fang Wenwen have always been at odds with each other, and her undisguised jealousy and resentment towards Fang Wenwen is deep-rooted.

Jiang Xue had fallen out with Fang Wenwen some time ago. If she could cleverly use the contradictions and conflicts between them to bring Gu Qingyue and Jiang Xue into one camp and let them deal with Fang Wenwen together, it would undoubtedly add a strong boost to her revenge plan. Although this was a risky move, the flame of revenge in Gu Fanxing's heart burned so strongly that she was willing to take the risk.

Gu Fanxing secretly clenched his fists, turned to look at Ling Jiuer, and showed a mysterious and determined smile on his face: "Jiuer, let's go. I thought of something and I'll tell you when I get back."

Ling Jiuer looked at Gu Fanxing with some doubts, but still nodded obediently: "Okay, let's go back then."

The two walked side by side on the street, the sunlight shining on their bodies, as if they were covered with a layer of golden armor.

Despite the many disappointments and hidden undercurrents in life, the deep friendship between the three of them is like the sunshine, warm and bright, giving each other strength to bravely face the challenges of the future.

Whether it is Xiao Fangfei's competition journey, or Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer's respective studies and life, they will all move forward firmly and bravely, going further and further on their own paths and shining brightly.

Gu Fanxing's revenge plan is also continuing. She is waiting for a good opportunity with the right time, place and people to start a bloody storm, bring those evil people to justice and make them pay for their evil deeds.
