He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Fang Tinglan held her hand, her voice low: "If I do anything wrong, you must tell me. I won't do anything you don't like, sister, you don't understand, I..."

He pursed his lips, looking somewhat nervous.

"I like you so much, I care about every word you say. Your affection makes me happy, and your dislike makes me very sad. I can change. I can change anything you don't like. If I do something wrong, please don't be angry or leave me. Just tell me, and I will change, okay?"

Qu Yi was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

He finally let out a heavy sigh.

How badly I treated you before.

Such an insecure person, so dependent on themselves, spoke these sincere words at this moment, their eyes slightly red, looking so pitiful and making one's heart ache.

"No need to change it."

Feeling the force of her hair being rubbed against his, he suddenly looked up and met her dark eyes.

"You are who you are, there's no need to change."

The boy pursed his thin lips, holding her tightly in his arms without saying a word.

Qu Yi patted him on the back: "Don't change yourself for anyone, it's not worth it."

Qu Yi felt a little out of place saying those words; it was as if she couldn't possibly say such things.

The boy was very stubborn.

"I don't care what others do, but if it's you, I can change it."

He held her in his arms, his words stubborn yet captivating, but his expression was no longer as vulnerable as when he had faced her earlier. His dark eyes were now as deep as water, and the light from outside shone in, barely illuminating a small part of the surging tide.

sister.

You wouldn't understand.

You are my everything.

Fang Tinglan held on tightly and refused to let go until Old Qiu called, which made him reluctantly release his grip.

Hearing Fang Tinglan's tone, Old Qiu glared at her and said, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"Ah."

"First place, understand?"

"Ah."

After waiting for a while and receiving no response from the other party, Old Qiu slammed the phone down.

That little brat, he's ruining my good mood.

"How can it be!!"

Accompanying the cracking sound was Fang Lin's furious roar.

The ground was a complete mess.

Fang Xu gave him a cold look: "What are you doing?"

Fang Lin: "Dad! Didn't you hear?! Fang Tinglan is number one! How is that possible?! He clearly doesn't know anything!"

Fang Xu pondered for a moment: "It's only the first round. His father might have left him some tricks. From the second round onwards, you can't rely on luck anymore. You keep an eye on him from now on."

Fang Lin nodded in agreement.

Every year, apart from the first round which involves gambling on stones, the second and third rounds of the competition are completely different and randomly assigned.

The contestants stood at the entrance of an abandoned villa, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The house looks old, but there's nothing else there, and you can't feel any gloom at all.

But that's precisely what makes it strange.

It's impossible for a competition to be uneventful.

"Now you can form teams freely, five people per team."

Five people per team?

The group exchanged glances and chose people they were familiar with, and the team was quickly formed.

Surprisingly, no one teamed up with Fang Tinglan. Among the groups of five at the entrance, Fang Tinglan, alone, stood out too much.

Old Qiu snorted coldly upon seeing this, and was about to ask Fang Tinglan if he needed any help when he had already stepped inside.

"........."

It seems no help is needed.
