The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Song Ke pushed the door open and went in. Chu Tiancheng looked up when he heard the noise, but his hands were still busy operating his phone.

"Come and sit down," Chu Tiancheng said, raising his chin.

Song Ke sat down, looking at Chu Tiancheng with trepidation, her posture suggesting she was about to be interrogated, and she sat up straight.

Seeing her expression, Chu Tiancheng chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

Song Ke glanced at him, and said somewhat guiltily, "...Why would I be nervous? I'm not nervous."

"What do you want me to come in? Wasn't there a phone call? Why did you have to call me in?"

Chu Tiancheng listened, put down his phone, looked at her, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Song Ke, don't you feel how you treat me now?"

"Some of them are spoiled and pampered."

Song Ke was taken aback. She had never spoken to him with such assertiveness or such a matter-of-fact tone before. Could he have realized that she wasn't the real Song Ke Ke?

Thinking of this, Song Ke cleared her throat and quickly reverted to her usual infatuated self: "Brother Chu, what are you saying? I've always been very well-behaved."

"I saw that you liked Gu Qing very much, so I wanted to learn from her."

You like being a jerk, huh? You don't like those who fawn over you, do you? You just like Gu Qing's cold and aloof attitude, and her indifference towards you, right?

Song Keke thought to herself, "Why does Chu Tiancheng give off a fox-like vibe these days? His face hasn't changed, and his expression is still so unfathomable, yet he always makes people feel like they've been tricked."

The only one who hasn't changed seems to be Gu Qing; she still ignores Chu Tiancheng and still doesn't like him.

The sorrowful man died.

What a terrible task! I have no idea what the consequences will be if I start to slack off.

No, she had to look through the books more to see if there were any related instructions. Was that system still a rechargeable model? Was it still running out of power at the start?

Chu Tiancheng smiled calculatingly: "It's alright, you'd better behave yourself."

Why should I learn from Gu Qing? If I can't catch up with her, will I end up alone forever, or will another accident take my life?

Ever since he learned that he had been reborn, he had someone investigate He Yunming. As soon as he found out, he subtly contacted him and asked him to return to China as soon as possible.

Seeing how attentive Song Ke was to Gu Qing, if he hadn't lived a second life and knew that Song Ke only liked him, he would have even suspected that Song Ke had feelings for Gu Qing.

He was either helping her pursue someone or asking her out to dinner.

But Gu Qing actually agreed.

It's worth noting that in her previous life, Gu Qing did dislike Song Ke somewhat, or rather, she was disappointed in him.

After all, when they were in school, Gu Qing really liked this junior, Song Ke, and considered her a good friend. But after Song Ke was kidnapped, Gu Qing really lost her feelings for her.

In the end, in order to help Gu Qing get revenge, he decided to target the Song family's company.

Looking back now, he feels that he must have been abnormal or had some problems back then.

Even if one is furious and angry, considering they grew up together and were betrothed as children, one shouldn't be so heartless towards the Song family.

Looking back now, I really regret it. If he hadn't messed with the Song family, Song Keke wouldn't have gone crazy.

"Let's have dinner together tonight and then go see a movie," Chu Tiancheng suddenly said.

"I've bought the tickets. I know you like adventure and horror movies, and there are some that are showing recently."

Song Ke was completely stunned. Why did Chu Tiancheng ask her out today? Shouldn't she have asked Gu Qing out? Gu Qing had practically offered herself up, and she had let her go again?

Did Chu Tiancheng really lose his brain in a car accident?

Song Ke gave a dry laugh: "...You're coming with me to eat...and watch a movie?"

Seeing her unwilling expression, Chu Tiancheng smiled faintly and nodded: "What's wrong, are you so happy you've gone mad?"

"Don't worry, now that our relationship has been exposed, I won't shirk my responsibility."

responsible?

So Chu Tiancheng did it to take responsibility?

Song Ke inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

He was nice to me a few days ago, probably because I went to see him after his car accident.

Treating myself to dinner and a movie now is a way of taking responsibility.

As long as it's not about liking yourself, then it doesn't matter.

So, Song Ke looked at Chu Tiancheng, blinked, and nodded, her face beaming: "Sure."

"It's just eating and watching a movie, what's the big deal?"

"Jiang Lin and I often meet up."

Chu Tiancheng was somewhat pleased with the first part of what he heard, but the next sentence made his face freeze.

Seeing the change in his expression, Song Ke chuckled and asked knowingly, "Why did your expression change?"

Chu Tiancheng glanced at her indifferently: "Go back to work."

Song Ke wasn't angry at all and went out happily.

When Song Ke got off work, she waited at the gate for a long time, thinking that Chu Tiancheng might have stood her up. Just as she was about to take out her phone to make a call, she saw someone come out of the gate.

She was still holding the bouquet of flowers she had ordered.

When the person reached her, she leaned closer, looked at the flowers, then at Chu Tiancheng, and asked with a surprised expression, "Did you get these from Sister Gu Qing?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded.

Song Ke clicked her tongue and gave her a "have you no shame" look, saying, "It's no wonder you're still single; you have absolutely no manners."

Chu Tiancheng glanced at her, his gaze amused: "And what about you?"

"...What about me?"

Chu Tiancheng glanced at her and turned to walk towards the car. Song Ke paused for a moment before following him. After getting into the car and fastening her seatbelt, she watched as Chu Tiancheng handed her the flowers in his hand and placed them in her lap.

"Hold it for me."

Song Ke held the flowers and muttered to herself, "I should have thrown them in the trash can earlier. They're just getting in the way."

"What did you say?"

Song Ke looked up at him and saw that his face was dark. She said somewhat timidly, "No, I said I have good taste. Sunflowers are very pretty."

Chu Tiancheng said with a half-smile, "You'd better think so too."

"You're so generous to send flowers to another woman on behalf of your fiancé."

When Song Ke heard Chu Tiancheng say that, she was stunned for a moment, then retorted, "Brother Chu, don't make such a connection. You've never acknowledged me as your fiancée."

"Besides, this relationship is just a verbal agreement from the elders. There hasn't even been a ceremony. You're already called fiancé and fiancé. Are you so worthless, or am I so easy?"

"I just like you, but I don't have to demean myself."

Upon hearing Song Ke's words, Chu Tiancheng not only wasn't angry, but instead chuckled softly.

"why are you laughing?"

"Smile, you're cute."

Chu Tiancheng said this in a very serious tone, just like when he had just seen him in the hospital, which was somewhat comical and incongruous.

"Song Keke, I'm really curious, has your head been replaced?"

What was Song Keke like before? She was relentlessly persistent and suffocating.

Chu Tiancheng didn't know if it was because of himself or Song Keke, but now that he saw Song Keke, the resistance he felt seemed to have inexplicably disappeared.

With the car window half-open, the car weaved through the rush hour traffic. The orange-red sunset cast a beautiful filter over the entire city, and even the cool autumn breeze felt warm and gentle on the face, making one's pores feel comfortable and relaxed.
