I think my luck is turning around.

"You are...Shi San?"

The person on the other end simply nodded. After a period of silence, An Ge spoke first, mainly because she was too curious.

"You're not going to leave easily now, are you?"

"According to what you've said, I'll take Ji Xixi's place in the storyline, and after that, we'll just have to see how things go!"

Shi San's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, but An Ge only felt that this sister was a bit scary, a fear that came from the depths of her heart.

"Do you know what you used to do?"

"I'm a mercenary, but I only remember my name and identity; I can't remember many other things. This time travel was unexpected, but my current situation isn't too bad. At least I've met my employer, Mr. Ji."

"Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji is also in your world?"

"Yes, perhaps it's just one person?"

How do you determine that?

"Feel."

An Ge was speechless. How could she rely on her feelings? That couldn't be used as evidence! An Ge didn't ask any more questions because Shi San was observing the environment. An Ge really didn't dare to get close to her because of the aura she exuded.

Time passed, and it was already noon; the sun was blazing. They sought shelter in the shade of a tree. An Ge alighted from the carriage and hurriedly ran to Ji Xia's side. At this moment, Huang Lan was still wondering why Ji Xia was the one riding the horse.

Seeing Ji Xixi getting off the carriage, Huang Lan finally understood. He hurriedly went to her side.

Upon seeing the massive figure approaching, Shi San frowned immediately; this guy was indeed very strong.

"Brother Ji, why are you in a carriage?"

"I'm not feeling well."

Huang Lan naturally didn't see anything wrong with Shi San's indifference. However, Ji Xia, who had heard An Ge's description, looked at them warily, only to see Shi San staring very seriously at the large Huang Lan.

"If Shi San were to face Huang Lan across weight classes, what would Shi San's chances of winning be?"

An Ge was also taken aback by Ji Xia's sudden question. If it were a cross-weight class challenge, Ji Xixi's chances of winning would be slim, but it would be a different story for Shi San, where the odds would be much higher.

"How's your body?"

"It's nothing serious, you won't die."

Huang Lan continued to show concern, but Shi San only gave perfunctory replies. Why would Huang Lan care about such things? She just kept asking, inquiring about his physical and mental condition, and even tried to help him.

Huang Lan's hand was already on Shi San's forehead, and Shi San didn't flinch, just looked at him. Huang Lan's ears were already red to the point of bleeding. An Ge and Ji Xia watched from not far away, and didn't even take the water that Lin Jingqing offered.

"you like me?"

Shi San went straight to the point, giving Huang Lan no time to react. Huang Lan simply took a step back and lowered his head.

"You can't accept me as a man."

Shi San's tone remained calm, as if he were devoid of emotion. Shi San simply stared coldly at Huang Lan, who panicked, completely at a loss for what to do.

Ji Xia reached out and took the water Lin Jingqing offered, taking a sip. Then she began to analyze all of Huang Lan's actions.

"Look, Huang Lan has only taken a step back. This step is denying his own feelings, denying his own thoughts, and even more so, denying his own heart."

Shi San's words made him even more hesitant to face him. He might have thought that if they remained just brothers, the distance between them wouldn't grow, but Shi San's bluntness made him realize that emotional issues couldn't be resolved so easily.

"Shut up! Even marketing accounts can't compete with you."

An Ge only told Ji Xia to be quiet. Looking at the timid big guy, Shi San crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking very imposing. Although he was looking up at Huang Lan, his aura was in no way inferior.

"No."

What does Huang Lan's first explanation prove? He just doesn't like being seen through!

"No, I accept it."

What kind of talk is this?! Ji Xia was completely stunned, while Shi San just glanced at her and then walked away.

"I do not accept."

It was as if she had been waiting for Huang Lan to say those words. She walked over, took the water from Ji Xia's hand, glanced at Ji Xia, and then drank it.
