The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

Yanting and Tanyi hadn't seen each other for a long time and had so much to talk about that they chatted until after 2 a.m. last night before finally resting.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window; it looks like it will be another sunny day.

A cell phone suddenly rang.

Awakened, Yanting groped around in the bedding. Still sleepy, she answered the phone without looking at the screen, her voice hoarse from just waking up: "Hello?"

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Yan Ting asked, "Who is it?"

"Pretty boy?" The simple three words, spoken with a hint of anger in a surprised tone, instantly dispelled the last bit of drowsiness in Yanting.

Yan Ting instantly snapped back to reality. She looked closely and realized it wasn't her phone, but Tan Yi's.

She turned around and saw Tan Yi lying sprawled on the bed, fast asleep.

"Tan Tan," Yan Ting called out softly to Tan Yi.

No movement.

"Tan Yi." Yan Ting raised her voice slightly.

Still no movement.

Then a cold laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Well done, Tan Yi. You're so thirsty that you can't wait to sleep with another pretty boy right after sleeping with me."

Yan Ting hesitated, staring at her phone screen, before finally speaking: "..."

She really wanted to say it.

She's not a gigolo.

And this guy might not actually be able to beat her.

Si Munan was speaking loudly on the phone, but Tan Yi wasn't woken up. She just turned over, smacked her lips, and seemed to be dreaming. Suddenly, she shouted, "Si Munan, you one-second man, stay away from me..."

Yan Ting's clear, cold phoenix eyes widened slightly: "..." Could she even hear that?

What the heck is "One-Second Man"?

Si Munan, who happened to hear this, was so angry that he laughed. He gritted his teeth and said, each word seemingly spat out from between his teeth, "You just wait, Tan Yi!"

After saying that, the phone hung up.

beep-

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Yanting's expression was indescribable.

When Tan Yi woke up and learned that Si Munan had called her, she was initially confused, but then said irritably, "Ignore him."

"Tan Tan," Yan Ting couldn't help but ask her, "Why do you hate him so much?"

This was the first time she had ever met someone as annoying as Tan Yi.

Tan Yi took off her nightgown and picked out a red off-shoulder short T-shirt from the closet, paired with a short leather skirt. As she dressed, she replied to Yan Ting's question, "He and I have been mortal enemies since childhood. We can't stand each other. I don't know what got into him. He just slept with me and then said he wanted to marry me."

The Tan family and the Si family have been friends for generations, so the two families had a good relationship. They originally planned to arrange a marriage between the two families, but the younger generation of the two families had a very bad falling out and have always been at odds with each other.

When Tan Yi learned of her parents' decision, she even declared that it was either her or him.

Seeing this, both families had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, the Tan family is unaware of Tan Yi's return to Yancheng; only Yanting knows about it for now.

Yanting slept in Tan Yi's private apartment last night.

This apartment is located in an upscale neighborhood near the city center. An apartment here would cost 100,000 yuan a month to rent, but Tan Yi bought it outright for a total of more than 5 million yuan.

According to Tan Yi, she doesn't like living in a villa, feeling that living alone is too empty, and that living in an apartment gives her a homey atmosphere.

Yan Ting seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Actually, she had wanted to move out of the Yan family's house before, but this idea was inexplicably delayed later.

She couldn't stay in the Yan family forever, and since Xu Rou came back, she had even less right to stay.

After all, that home didn't belong to her.

However, she needed to carefully plan how to move out, as she always felt that Yanshan would not let her leave the Yan family easily.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, my nerves suddenly felt like they were being tugged by something, and I felt a dull ache.

"Tingting." Tan Yi picked up a small black bag and slung it over her shoulder, then walked to the entrance. "Yesterday I searched online and found a newly opened buffet restaurant nearby that's really popular. Shall we go try it and see how it is?"

Yan Ting seemed to be in a daze, her gaze fixed on something unfocused.

"Tingting?" Seeing Yanting standing motionless in the living room, Tan Yi walked up to her in confusion and waved her hand. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Ting suddenly snapped out of her daze and subconsciously asked, "What did you just say?"

Tan Yi frowned, her tone slightly worried, and said, "If you feel unwell, you must tell me. I just asked if you wanted to go to a popular buffet restaurant nearby to try it out."

"Sure." When it comes to eating, traveling, and shopping, Yanting always listens to Tanyi, and Tanyi usually likes to do research in advance.

"Are you really alright?" Tan Yi asked again, still worried.

Yanting shook her head. "It's nothing. I was probably just thinking too much."

The buffet restaurant is located not far from this neighborhood.

When they arrived at their destination, the two found that the restaurant was extremely popular.

Tan Yi raised an eyebrow: "I knew this buffet restaurant was popular, but I didn't expect it to be even more popular than I imagined."

Yanting saw things clearly: "This place is close to the most bustling area of ​​the city center, so the flow of people is quite large."

Two beautiful women were standing at the restaurant entrance to greet guests.

As Yan Ting and Tan Yi approached the door, the two beautiful women bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome!" Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, and sounded pleasant.

As soon as we entered, a handsome young man approached us and asked, "Hello, do you two have an appointment?"

This buffet restaurant requires advance reservations. If you don't make a reservation, you'll have to wait until next time or queue up to make one.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ting looked at Tan Yi, who tossed her curly hair and smiled smugly: "Don't worry, I made an appointment online yesterday."

After saying that, she took out her phone and handed it to the delivery guy.

The young man glanced at them and nodded, "This way, please, both of you."

This buffet restaurant is much more impressive than ordinary restaurants, with a total of six floors, and the decoration style of each floor exudes luxury and elegance.

It gives you the feeling of stepping into an ancient building in an instant.

Yan Ting and Tan Yi were led up to the third floor by the waiter.

Their seats were by the window, offering a view of the restaurant outside.

at that time.

A Porsche was parked in front of the buffet restaurant.

Yan Xun turned to look at Lu Huai, who was looking down at his phone screen: "Brother Huai, this restaurant is quite popular online, why don't we go in and give it a try?"

Lu Huai didn't answer. He looked at the dozens of missed calls on the screen, a hint of irritation in his eyes.

In the past, Yanting would always take the initiative to call or text him. If he didn't reply, Yanting would go to find him in person.

However, Yanting hadn't called him since his last birthday, which made Lu Huai feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I think this place is pretty good." Gu Qianqiu smiled at Yan Xun, then turned to look at Lu Huai: "What does Huai think?"

Lu Huai glanced at the signboard of the buffet restaurant, his expression lacking interest: "Then let's go try it."

Gu Qianqiu pursed her lips.

Ever since that incident, she noticed that Lu Huai's attitude towards her was inconsistent, sometimes warm and sometimes cold. She couldn't tell if he felt guilty towards her or if he really no longer liked her.

But she was a little scared no matter what.

She had finally managed to get a little bit into Lu Huai's heart, how could she give up so easily!

Because Tan Yi can't handle spicy food very well, she didn't put too much chili in the dipping sauce she prepared.

Yanting, on the other hand, has a slightly stronger flavor, so most of the seasonings are added in a little bit.

Ironically, neither of them was good at cooking. Yanting wanted to learn but wasn't very good at it, while Tanyi, as a pampered young lady who had been pampered since childhood, naturally wouldn't learn to cook.

Tan Yi glanced at the dipping sauce Yan Ting had prepared and asked, "Isn't the flavor too strong?"

"It's alright." Although Yanting had been told by the doctor at the hospital to eat light meals on a regular basis, for some reason she just liked strong flavors and felt no appetite when eating light food.

Upon hearing this answer, Tan Yi instantly recalled a porridge that Yan Ting had once cooked for her, the taste of which was simply indescribable.

That time, she was feeling unwell and the nanny happened to be on leave, so Yanting, who came to visit her, tried to cook porridge for her.

Tan Yi was moved to tears by Yan Ting's gesture, but she almost vomited after taking a bite.

It really, really, really tastes awful.

It looks quite appetizing.

Tan Yi was unconvinced and took another bite.

Yes, it really tastes terrible.

But seeing Yanting's expectant little eyes, she still swallowed it down with difficulty and uttered the word "delicious" in a trembling voice.

From then on, whenever Yanting said she would cook, she would find all sorts of excuses to stop her, so much so that Yanting often regretted not being able to cook for her.

Little did she know, out of sight of her, the usually spoiled young lady Tan Yi secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.

Although she and Yanting are best friends, there are probably no people in this world who would actually be willing to eat Yanting's cooking every day.

If so, it can only mean it's true love.
