After a brief explanation, it was revealed that the notes from back then made Shu Ran's six years of middle school exceptionally easy.

Gou Xinglan wisely refrained from asking Shu Ran the reason for her leave.

The two had a great time chatting.

Thinking of the gourd pendant she had given him, Shu Ran smiled and said, "Zi Xun said you weren't feeling well, so I specially picked out a gourd pendant for your birthday. Jade is good for you, so if you don't mind, you can wear it often."

She only mentioned it briefly; whether or not he should wear it was up to him. Anyway, she delivered the item.

"Okay, thank you Ranran. I'll find it and wear it when I get back."

Gou Xinglan has bright eyes and is very well-behaved.

If he weren't still at the banquet, he would have gone to find it and put it on right now.

Gou Xinglan didn't know what was wrong with her, but the moment she saw Shu Ran, she felt at ease and unconsciously wanted to get closer to her.

Shu Ran's fingers curled slightly. So cute! So adorable!

I want to take it home and raise it!

"Ranran! You're here!"

Qi Jing accompanied her uncle for a stroll, but then got bored. Instead of disturbing her uncle's socializing, she wandered around by herself, looking for the friends she had parted ways with earlier.

"Hey, Xinglan is here too!"

Qi Jing had met Gou Xinglan a few times, and her beauty left a deep impression on her.

"Ah hello!"

Gou Xinglan nodded, pursing her lips slightly to suppress the smile on her face.

This is his standard expression when he sees someone he doesn't know.

Her slightly cold face did look somewhat intimidating, diminishing the sense of fragility and vulnerability conveyed by her pale and delicate features.

"Jingjing, aren't you going to stay with your uncle?"

Shu Ran moved aside to make room for her.

The distance between them instantly closed, and Gou Xinglan's icy expression began to falter.

The faint scent of gardenias lingered around my nose, and even though we were still a hand's width apart, a blush crept up my ears and slowly spread.

Qi Jing sat down on the sofa without ceremony, right next to Shu Ran: "I snuck over here because watching them socialize is so boring."

Shu Ran nodded in agreement: "It is indeed boring, but it is essential."

Then she remembered that the host of the banquet was sitting next to her, and was the main person in charge. Shu Ran turned around abruptly and explained, "I didn't mean your banquet was boring. I meant all banquets are pretty much the same..."

Shu Ran: ...What nonsense am I talking about? I feel guilty for speaking ill of someone to their face.

Gou Xinglan's eyes were full of laughter: "I know, these kinds of banquets are indeed boring, and I don't like them either."

His family owns many businesses in country Y; they were just using the banquet as an opportunity to discuss business dealings!

For example, his father is currently upstairs receiving Howard, using the birthday party as an opportunity to discuss a business deal and secretly reach a cooperation agreement.

By eight o'clock, almost everyone had arrived.

They skillfully located the person in the corner, and Gou Zixun and Gou Yueling quickly walked over.

"I knew you'd be here!"

Seeing that there was no room on the sofa, Gou Zixun had no choice but to sit on the opposite side, across a small coffee table.

"Xinglan, Dad wants to come over. Zixun, are you coming?"

Gou Yueling didn't sit down; she was afraid that if she sat down, she wouldn't want to get up. Her eight-centimeter high heels were beautiful, but they were really tiring.

Gou Zixun refused repeatedly, he didn't want to go: "I'm not going, sister, please tell Dad that I'm entertaining my friends."

"Row."

"Excuse me, Ranran, Miss Qi, have fun, I need to go over there."

Gou Xinglan stood up, drank the rest of the hot water in one gulp, and placed the cup on the coffee table.

After the two left, the seat next to Shu Ran became empty, and Gou Zixun immediately stood up and sat down.

Compared to the slender Gou Xinglan, Gou Zixun seemed a bit cramped sitting down.

Thanks to years of exercise, Gou Zixun is in good health. Wearing a well-fitting suit, his muscles are quite visible, and he is nearly 1.9 meters tall.

Shu Ran was a little speechless. Wasn't it crowded to be standing next to each other?

"It's too crowded if you move over, sit back down!"

Qi Jing secretly chuckled, watching Gou Zixun sit back down looking aggrieved.

With a baby face and puppy eyes, even with a slightly muscular physique, his pitiful expression doesn't seem out of place at all.

The banquet proceeded smoothly.

Shu Ran and the others couldn't stay lazy forever, so they inevitably went out for a few walks and danced a few dances.

Not wanting to dance with strangers, Shu Ran only accepted the invitations from the Gou brothers, Zixun and Xinglan, and went to rest on the side.

There was no one who would dare to come looking for trouble. Shu Ran calmly drank her juice. She was still a minor, so she didn't drink alcohol.

The banquet didn't end until late at night.

Shu Ran woke up very late the next day. It was past 11 a.m. when she finally went downstairs in her pajamas and slippers.

Breakfast and lunch are combined into one meal.

"Uncle Feng, what are you making that smells so good?"

The black pepper flavor is quite strong, followed by the aroma of wheat and a subtle hint of cheese.

"Didn't you say yesterday you wanted a cheese-laden pizza? I made some."

Shu Yifeng took the finished seafood pizza out of the oven, placed it on a tray, and rolled it into six pieces.

I took the prepared food out of the insulated box. I made six different kinds, two portions of each. There were sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, and all of them had plenty of cheese.

She did say that yesterday!

Surprised, Shu Ran obediently sat down, took out one slice of each, and stored the remaining five slices in her spatial storage, ready to be taken out whenever she wanted to eat them.

As for the remaining portion, they were allowed to divide it among themselves.

She wanted to save room for something else to eat.

It was drizzling outside, and it was the weekend. Shu Ran just wanted to stay home and explore new cheat codes; she didn't want to go anywhere.

After finishing her meal, Shu Ran went up to the study on the third floor in her slippers.

She sat cross-legged on the chaise longue, the same one she used to sit on in the Qian family's study.

Take out the synthesizer, continue charging it, and then conduct the experiment.

Shu Ran always looked forward to the unknown, hoping that the extremely small probability would result in something different.

Ideally, it should be as effective as a health-preserving spiritual stone.

First, synthesize the materials that can be used to create health-preserving spirit stones and puppet soldiers. Keep ten of each material unsynthesized as a collection.

Not all of them can be synthesized into health-preserving spirit stones; the same raw materials may occasionally be synthesized into other things.

For example: a palm-sized gourd-shaped bottle that can hold a ton of water, an extra-large jade gourd ornament, etc. These are not stable.

Searching through her space, Shu Ran found some seeds, all of which were mutated seeds she had left behind when she had drawn the plant ability.

Looking at the instructions she had written, Shu Ran took out two seeds with different mutation directions and synthesized them.

Wheat seeds that are resistant to pests and diseases but will reduce yield + wheat seeds that produce five times the yield and taste better but are more susceptible to pests and diseases = wheat that is susceptible to pests and diseases, reduces yield, and tastes bad!

Shu Ran: ...

This means discarding the essence and keeping the dross!

There were still many seeds left, and Shu Ran continued to synthesize them.
