Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Looking at the thriving vegetable garden, oh no... it should be the good friends who are working hard for the happiness and well-being of mankind, Lin Bufan showed a gratified smile!

The motherland will not forget you, and the people will not forget you...

I would also like to commend my old friends Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, Gan Jing, Qu Xiaoxiao, Zhu Zhe, Lucy, Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun, Peng Jiahe, Chen Meijia, Lin Wanyu, Hu Yifei, Qin Yumo, Tang Youyou, Jiang Lai, and Huang Yimei for their progress. I urge them to keep up the good work and guard against arrogance and impatience!

Special praise was given to Gan Jing who increased her favorability by 24 points, Huang Yimei who increased her favorability by 15 points, Gao Wen who increased her favorability by 20 points, and Ye Zhenzhen and Wang Manni who reached the maximum favorability. We hope that everyone will learn from them!

Next, I hope everyone will welcome our new members with warm applause!

Although they have only been members for a short time, don't underestimate them. The best among them, such as Dali and Taozi, have surpassed most of the people here. I hope all of you, old friends, will demonstrate your spirit of mentoring and help them quickly integrate into our big family that works for the happiness of all mankind!

Of course, praise must be accompanied by criticism. Those who remain inactive should also learn to look for the reasons within themselves and ask themselves whether they are trying hard to love Comrade Lin every day!

At this point, I have to criticize Comrade He Minhong. Comrade Gan Jing has rebounded, jumping from 55 to 79 points, yet yours has dropped 3 points? You're being held back, and you're being pushed back, right? Don't you want to contribute to the well-being of all humanity? Don't you think you're being selfish? You'll be expelled from the community if you continue like this. I hope you'll reconsider your actions and not continue down this wrong path...

To be honest, Lin Bufan was not surprised by the changes in other people's favorability. The only one who surprised him was Gan Jing.

Is he curious?

What kind of mental state made Gan Jing's favorability jump from 55 points to 79 points!

Did Lu Yuan follow his advice and really use illegal means? Did this woman feel grateful to him after knowing that it was his advice?

Or is it that she is now addicted to the joint service of the two lickers, and therefore is grateful for her previous behavior?

Or maybe, after comparing herself with them, this woman discovered what kind of people those two lickers were, and therefore, she turned around and fell in love with herself?

Um--

The third guess is the most likely!

After all, I'm so outstanding, it's normal to be liked by others!

but--

I promised Jiang Lai that I would no longer interfere in the affairs of the three of them. What should I do now?

Do you want to break your promise?

No, no!

I am a man of my word, how can I go back on my word?

Thinking of this, Lin Bufan didn't bother to open the treasure chest. After making a "wait a moment" gesture to the people in the ward, he turned and walked out of the ward.

Coming to the relatively quiet end of the corridor, Lin Bufan dialed Jiang Lai's number. The phone rang several times before it was connected!

Hearing the call was connected, Lin Bufan immediately stated his purpose: "Lai Lai, I have something very important to tell you."

"You said... huh... I'm listening... heh..." Jiang Lai's breathing was a little heavy, and there was a slight gasp when he spoke, as if... as if... as if he was exercising!

This situation instantly aroused Lin Bufan's vigilance. After all, he had experienced it before. It must be said that it was very exciting and could greatly improve efficiency!

But if the identity is changed, it won’t be so exciting!

"Tell me first, what are you doing now?"

"Running, what's wrong?" Jiang Lai asked in some confusion. She didn't understand why Lin Bufan asked about this again when he said he had something to do.

When Lin Bufan heard this, his voice immediately rose a few notches, filled with exaggerated grief and indignation: "Running? Jiang Lai! I've only been away from the Magic City for a few days? And you're already secretly going for a run without telling me? Do you still have any conscience? Are you worthy of my trust in you? Huh?"

Jiang Lai on the other end of the phone was clearly bewildered by Lin Bufan's sudden accusation. He stepped off the treadmill and asked with a mixture of confusion and speechlessness, "Lin Bufan, are you okay? What's wrong with me running? What does this have to do with conscience and trust?"

"What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong?" Lin Bufan's voice was even more "angry," as if he had grasped some solid evidence: "Have you forgotten that Japanese movie we watched together last time? I asked you to practice it, but you refused. I didn't expect you to practice it with someone else. Are you worthy of me?"

Seeing the strange look from Zhu Zhe beside him, even the shameless Jiang Lai couldn't help but blush: "Lin Bufan! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day?! I say it again, I am running! I am the only one running on the treadmill! Did you hear me clearly?!"

Lin Bufan remained unmoved. Instead, he seemed to have grasped a greater handle. His voice was filled with shock and condemnation. "What? You're still insisting that you were the only one running? It's over, it's over. I'm too familiar with this plot! If I ask you to have someone else answer the phone call next, are you going to say that you're the only customer at the gym today and even the trainer is on vacation?"

Jiang Lai was almost laughing at Lin Bufan's anger. His voice suddenly rose: "Lin Bufan! What are you talking about?! Zhu Zhe is here too! We are in the gym together!"

"What?!" Lin Bufan's voice was instantly filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had heard some appalling news: "What did you say? You dragged Xiaozhu into this?! Jiang Lai! You...you've gone too far! Xiaozhu is such a simple person, and you actually took her along...you're absolutely insane!"

"You bastard! Turn on the video! Now! Immediately!" Jiang Lai's roar was so fierce that one could feel the rage that was about to burst out even through the phone. It was obvious that he was completely ignited by Lin Bufan's unreasonable and bastard logic that made things worse.

"Open it now! Who's afraid of who? I'm going to expose your true face today!" Lin Bufan shouted loudly, but his hands were not slow, and he immediately switched to a video call.

The video was connected in almost seconds.

Jiang Lai's pretty face instantly appeared on the other side of the screen, red either from exercise or anger. Fine beads of sweat were on her forehead, a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, and she was wearing a professional black sports vest, revealing the graceful lines of her shoulders and collarbone.

"You see clearly!" Jiang Lai said gritting his teeth, and suddenly turned the camera of his mobile phone to scan the surrounding environment - this is a well-decorated gym with professional equipment. It is not large but well-equipped, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the city view.

Lin Bufan recognized at a glance that this was the gym in the hotel group's headquarters that belonged exclusively to the company's executives. To be more precise, it belonged to Jiang Lai, Zhu Zhe and Lin Bufan. Because the three of them liked sports, in order not to be disturbed by others, Jiang Lai set up a smaller gym for them!

The camera panned over to the side, revealing Zhu Zhe sitting on a rowing machine, performing his training with precise movements, his face also flushed with exercise. They were indeed the only two people in the entire gym.

Zhu Zhe noticed the camera, stopped, wiped the sweat off his face, and smiled at it with amusement as a greeting.

"What's going on? You bastard! Did you see clearly? Am I running? Am I in the gym? Are Zhu Zhe and I the only ones here?" Jiang Lai peppered him with questions, his voice trembling with anger, his chest heaving. "What else do you have to say?"

Lin Bufan blinked on the other side of the screen, his face instantly changing to an expression that looked even more wronged than Dou E's. He spread his hands and said, "Oh my goodness, Lai Lai, why are you reacting so strongly? Comrade Jiang Lai, your thoughts...are they a little too unhealthy? Do you need me to help you purify them?"

"You... you bastard!" Jiang Lai was so angry at Lin Bufan's shameless behavior of turning the tables and crying 'stop thief' that he almost couldn't breathe. He wanted to poke Lin Bufan's nose through the screen with his finger: "It was obviously you who started to talk nonsense and distort the facts!"

"What did I distort?" Lin Bufan said innocently. "Is it wrong for me to care about my girlfriend's exercise health? I reminded you to pay attention to safety, choose a proper place, and avoid bad inducements. Isn't this the duty of a good boyfriend? My starting point is so aboveboard and pure! But you, Lai Lai, just now, you excitedly proved your innocence and emphasized that it was just you and Zhu Zhe... It's hard not to suspect that you are... um... hiding something, or trying to cover up some deeper problem?"

"Lin Bufan!!!" Jiang Lai's roar almost penetrated the phone speaker: "Do you believe that I will buy a plane ticket right now and fly over to strangle you to death?!"

Lin Bufan didn't think Jiang Lai was joking. This crazy woman was really capable of doing this, so he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, no more jokes, let's get down to business. I called you to ask you, has your sister-in-law done anything unusual recently?"

"sister in law?!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lai's attention was diverted. "Are you talking about Gan Jing? How would I know if she has done anything unusual? Besides, didn't I remind you not to get involved in their affairs again? Did you do something behind my back again?"

"It's not that I'm involved in anything," Lin Bufan lowered his voice, looked around, and after making sure no one was around, he said mysteriously, "I discovered a secret."

Jiang Lai picked up the water cup next to her and made an expression that said "keep making up stories", meaning that Lin Bufan should continue.

Lin Bufan didn't keep the secret and said directly: "I found that your sister-in-law, Gan Jing... seems to have fallen in love with me."

"puff--"

The water Jiang Lai had just drunk suddenly spurted out, splashing all over the phone screen. Even Zhu Zhe, who had been quietly exercising next to him, suddenly stopped and looked over in shock.

Jiang Lai casually wiped his mouth with his hand, not bothering to wipe it, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Aren't you in Kyoto? How did you get involved with Gan Jing? And fall in love with you? Lin Bufan, are you still asleep?"

"Lai Lai, what you said is wrong!" Lin Bufan had an expression that said "you don't understand love" and argued back, "Can distance block something like love? True love can transcend thousands of mountains and rivers, ignoring the barriers of time and space! It's like a spark that spreads across the prairie. Once it's ignited, it can't be extinguished by mere physical distance! It's more like a spiritual connection, a resonance of the soul..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Cut it out!" Jiang Lai, feeling a headache, quickly interrupted Lin Bufan's nonsense, his tone filled with intense confusion and a hint of absurdity: "Stop talking nonsense! I just want to ask you, how did you come to this outrageous conclusion... that Gan Jing fell in love with you?"

Lin Bufan stroked his chin, his eyes wandering as he spoke vaguely, "Well... I can't tell you exactly how I know this yet. But! I can tell you responsibly that this is... most likely true!"

Jiang Lai looked at Lin Bufan's rare serious expression on the screen, his brows furrowed, not knowing whether what Lin Bufan said was true or not. "Okay, even if... even if what you said is true. Then why are you calling me now? Are you trying to show off?"

"Show off? Lai Lai, how could you think of me like that?" Lin Bufan immediately put on a deeply hurt expression, his voice trembling with a hint of "heartache": "The feelings I, Lin Bufan, have for you, Jiang Lai, can be witnessed by the sun and the moon, and can be expressed by the heavens and the earth!

But for a man as outstanding as me, being loved is inevitable! After all, I am handsome, talented, humorous, and rich enough to rival a country... (500 words of self-praise omitted here) But! There are three thousand rivers, and I only drink from one scoop! In this prosperous world, I only love you, Jiang Lai! My heart has long been filled to the brim with you, and there is no room for anyone else! You are my sea of ​​stars, the only light in my life..."
