Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.

Liu Ting watched the two men emerge from the west, a question creeping into her mind: "Why are they both here?" She pondered this to herself, but outwardly remained calm, saying, "I've already made an appointment." Li Ming, seemingly unconvinced, pressed, "Sister Ting, who did you make an appointment with?" Liu Ting casually replied, "Bai Mengmeng." She walked towards the door as if nothing had happened, silently praying that her lie wouldn't be exposed. Reaching the door, she quickly pulled out her phone and sent a message to Bai Mengmeng, hoping she could come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Time ticked by, and finally it was noon. Bai Mengmeng rushed to the agreed-upon location and saw Li Ming and Li Yan sitting on either side of Liu Ting. She cautiously asked Lu Ze, "What's going on?" Lu Ze shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know either. It turned out that after Li Ming and Li Yan learned that Liu Ting had made plans, they both insisted on having lunch together. After much pleading, Liu Tingze finally agreed to go with them.

Bai Mengmeng had only been dragged there by Liu Ting at the last minute, and now she was somewhat at a loss in the face of this situation. She lowered her head and focused on eating, trying to escape the awkward atmosphere. Li Ming and Li Yan, on the other hand, busily served food to Liu Ting. Looking at the mountain of food in her bowl, Liu Ting couldn't help but complain, "Can't you look at my bowl? It's almost overflowing!" The two men laughed awkwardly, but still refused to give up their attentiveness to Liu Ting.

Lu Ze keenly sensed that there must be something hidden going on. With a man's intuition, he realized that there must be a story between the two of them that no one else knew. The entire luncheon turned into a covert contest between Li Ming and Li Yan. Liu Ting couldn't stand the atmosphere and could only keep eating, trying to alleviate her discomfort.

After finishing their meal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dispersed. As Liu Ting went downstairs, she took a deep breath, thankful that the farce was finally over.

They were still arguing about whose car to ride in when they got downstairs. Liu Ting saw Bai Mengmeng's car drive up, turned around and got in, leaving Li Yan and Li Ming staring at each other.

Li Ming didn't mince words: "What do you mean?" Li Yan retorted, "What do you mean?" Li Ming bluntly stated, "I like Liu Ting!" Li Yan had already guessed most of it, so he wasn't particularly surprised by the answer. After all, a woman like Liu Ting was indeed very charming. So he replied, "What a coincidence, I like her too." Li Ming's face was full of disdain: "You've only known her for a few days and you're already telling me you like her? You're not just trying to save face, are you?"

Li Yan was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He simply liked Liu Ting, and Li Ming couldn't do anything to him. Li Yan got in his car and went straight back to the company, while Li Ming chose to go home. Temporarily, due to this setback, Li Ming decided to suspend all his plans. However, he never expected that this incident would bring him an unexpected competitor, Li Yan. At this moment, he no longer cared about Bai Mengmeng and Lu Ze's relationship; instead, he was determined to defeat Li Yan first.

Watching Li Ming's departing figure, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He thought to himself, "A little brat actually likes mature, sophisticated women? It's both laughable and pathetic." However, this also made him realize that he needed to step up his efforts in pursuing Liu Ting. After all, the competition wasn't to be underestimated. With this thought, a fighting spirit ignited within Li Yan.

Li Yan's opinion of Liu Ting underwent a dramatic change, all stemming from a video. In that video, Liu Ting, armed, ruthlessly drove Li Ming out of her home. At that moment, he realized that Liu Ting was no ordinary woman.

Bai Mengmeng asked Liu Ting curiously, "Sister Ting, do you think they like you?" Liu Ting trembled with fright and quickly waved her hands, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! They're both younger than me, how could they like me? They just don't like each other." Lu Ze chuckled from the side, "Sister Ting, you're so charming, I don't believe no one's pursuing you. In my opinion, they both have feelings for you." Liu Ting's face turned bright red. She had never been in a relationship before and knew nothing about love. Now, at this age, she had no idea how to date.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Ze and Liu Ting's work progress has far exceeded expectations, but the two have decided to take a day off tomorrow to recharge. After all, only by maintaining a good mental state can they complete their work more efficiently.

When the other members heard the news, they all cheered with excitement. Lu Ze finally returned home and had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, sunlight was already streaming into the room through the window. He turned around and saw Bai Mengmeng lying by the bed, smiling at him. Bai Mengmeng said happily, "You're finally awake! I made you breakfast."

Looking at the scene before him, Lu Ze felt a surge of happiness and warmth. He reached out and gently pulled Bai Mengmeng into his arms, whispering, "Let me hold you for a little while, just a little while..."

Bai Mengmeng did not resist. Instead, she rested her head on Lu Ze's chest, gently rubbed her hair against him, and then lay down peacefully.

However, not long after, their phones rang almost simultaneously. They each picked up their phones and saw the same message on the screen: "Brother Lu, Mengmeng, remember to come this afternoon! I've prepared a surprise!"

Lu Ze and Bai Mengmeng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Who is yours?" Bai Mengmeng asked curiously.

“Li Yan,” Lu Ze replied.

"And what about you?" Lu Ze then asked.

“Wang Fei,” Bai Mengmeng said, somewhat surprised.

The two stared at each other's phones, their locations identical, and fell into deep thought. What exactly was this so-called "surprise"? Why were they being called to the same place?

All of this started that morning when Li Yan was driving to work. He happened to see Wang Fei's car parked on the side of the road. Curious, he got out and went over to check it out.

Li Yan knocked on the car window and asked loudly, "What are you doing parked in the road?"

Startled by the sudden knocking, Faye Wong quickly rolled down the car window and complained, "Who's the kind person who's banging on the window?!"

Li Yan laughed and explained, "How would you know someone's outside if I don't knock on the window? Did you expect me to call you? Or did you do something wrong and are too guilty to open the window?"

Wang Fei glared at him fiercely and replied helplessly, "I'm following Liu Cheng."

Li Yan was utterly astonished! "You were actually tracking them?"
