Boonie Bears: Another World Fantasy

The outcome was not as terrible, unimaginable, or extremely bad as he had imagined.

When An Han walked out of the interview room with a resentful and sullen face, the entire process of their confrontation was already clearly presented in her mind.

This duel, which should have ended in a one-sided victory for An Han, took an unexpected and dramatic turn.

As expected, Zhao Lin's unfathomable strength was always elusive, and the newspaper was truly fortunate to have such talent. Without realizing it, Peng Fei felt as if he had once again sided with her.

"Let's go." An Han walked up to Peng Fei and said, pretending to be calm and nonchalant.

However, no matter what, An Han will always be An Han. Even though her status and position are now vastly different from what they used to be, her "inability to lie" remains an unchanging trait.

We've known this since we were kids, Anhan. You might be able to fool others, but you can never fool me.

……

After she left, Zhao Lin finally loosened her grip on the chair armrest.

"Did you record everything, Xiao Ke?"

"It's recorded...recorded."

The little girl straightened her baseball cap, which was tilted at her head, clearly feeling suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere just now.

"You did a great job. I'll have a good talk with the editor-in-chief about you when we get back," Zhao Lin said, pointing to Xiao Ke sitting on the ground.

"Really...really?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with anticipation.

Zhao Lin nodded affirmatively and indicated that she could put away the camera.

Finally, it was all over... As soon as she relaxed, Zhao Lin slumped into the chair, feeling extremely tired. She had never felt this exhausted, not even during the most stressful period of her life, high school.

Just as the editor-in-chief said, have I been pushing myself too hard lately?

However, now that I've finally finished dealing with the last thing here, I can finally relax and enjoy my vacation.

No matter how good the treatment she receives in this steel city, she is ultimately not a true part of Shenzhen, having grown accustomed to the lifestyle of a small town.

She was already eagerly anticipating the upcoming trip...

"Guji——"

Xiao Ke instinctively covered her empty stomach, and her face turned red without her noticing.

Zhao Lin looked at her, her eyes darting around thoughtfully.

"I remember a barbecue restaurant just opened near the temporary office building..."

"Waaaaah, Sister Lin, you understand me so well—" She laughed happily, all her nervousness and lack of confidence vanishing in an instant.

Looking at the girl with such a bright smile, Zhao Lin couldn't help but think of herself a few years ago, when she was ignorant, fearless, and reckless.

So, how much precious things has she lost over the years?

……

As night fell over the forest once more, there was only about half a day's journey left to reach our destination.

Sharp held the pile of fluffy objects he had previously called "mutant oranges" in one hand, while using the other hand to grab them and stuff them into his mouth, eating them voraciously.

"Mmm, that's really good..."

"Hahaha......"

She had lost count of how many times she had been amused by his comical appearance. After spending these few days with him, Naya found him increasingly interesting, not only in his speech and behavior, but also in the humor that seemed to emanate from him and bring joy to others at any time.

Indeed, it has been a long time since I have laughed so heartily.

At this point in her thoughts, she suddenly remembered that she still had the rectangular block-shaped object that Sharp had given her in her pocket.

I think it's called... chocolate...

He once said that this thing is very sweet.

Naya carefully held it in her hands and examined it closely. She saw strange and incomprehensible patterns "drawn" on it, while the back was "carved" with dense symbols.

“Shelf life…” Naya managed to make out a few words.

I took a small, tentative bite and discovered that, like a nut, it was covered with a hard, shell-like substance.

"Click, click..."

Naya kept biting into the chocolate wrapper, and Sharp, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh and cry. He stepped forward and said:

"Hahaha...look, you have to peel it open like this first."

With that, he easily tore it open along the top opening, revealing the dark brown candy inside. Instantly, a peculiar aroma that Naya had never smelled before wafted out, slightly bitter yet containing a rich, honey-like fragrance.

With her cherry-like lips slightly parted, she cautiously placed one end of the chocolate into her mouth, then gently bit off a small piece.

The intoxicating taste captivated her instantly; the sweetness was tinged with a slight bitterness, and the entire chocolate melted rapidly in her mouth, like an ice cube encountering a raging fire... Naya had never tasted such sweetness since childhood.

"Mmm~ Sweet, so sweet~"

The girl's face was filled with a happy smile as she slowly closed her eyes and murmured softly. She seemed to be savoring the exquisite taste of some unparalleled delicacy.

"So, you all eat such sweet things?" Naya said, then popped another piece into her mouth.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, I'm not going to take it from you."

Sharp hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her. Was she completely won over after just one bite of chocolate?

……

Because it was inconvenient to walk at night, they had to stay in a temporary "hotel." But strictly speaking, calling it a house might be a bit of a stretch.

Sharp touched the petal, which was three times his size, with curiosity, his heart filled with wonder. This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a huge flower bud, large enough to hold dozens of people. Clearly, such enormous plants were not uncommon here; it was as if everything here was grander than the outside world.

But what truly amazed him was not just that, but also the clusters of dazzling "shooting stars" orbiting in circular paths in the night sky above. These brilliant lights seemed to transform the entire sky into a dreamlike stage.

At this moment, Sharp couldn't help but think: living in a place like this might not be such a bad thing, right? The air here is so fresh it's almost intoxicating, the atmosphere is peaceful and serene, and more importantly, there's a beautiful angel "holding a gun" by his side.

Just as he was pondering this to himself, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Naya beside him. He saw her looking up at the starry sky, the dazzling Milky Way and countless stars reflected in her bright and captivating eyes.
