The player is playing like a god, but their cheat code is Aatrox.

"My name is Qiangwei (蔷薇), Du Qiangwei (杜蔷薇), Mu Tu Du (木土杜), Qiangwei (蔷薇) as in 'rose'. And you, what's your name?"

The black-haired girl—no, Rose—finished speaking and looked at Cang Yu with bright, expectant eyes.

"My name is Cang Yu."

Cang Yu's expression was somewhat strange, but because it was already dark and Qiang Wei was immersed in the joy of making a friend, she did not notice.

Cang Yu wondered if he had fallen into some kind of protagonist's script.

First, she was picked up and taken home by Ah-Zhui, then she met Qi-Lin, and now even Qiang-Wei has come.

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Wait a minute, shouldn't Rose's hair be burgundy?

He glanced at the long, straight, jet-black hair in front of him; this didn't match up either.

Seeing Cang Yu staring at her hair, Rose was somewhat surprised:

"What's wrong? Is there something in my hair?"

Cang Yu withdrew his gaze and shook his head:

"No." He paused, then offered an explanation.

"Also, I'm not lame."

Rose glanced at his legs instinctively.

Cang Yu's lips twitched:

"No, that's not it. I'm just... well, I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days, I'm rather weak, that's why I'm in a wheelchair."

Upon hearing this, Rose nodded thoughtfully:

"So that's how it is."

She still believed it.

After all, there's no need for the other party to lie, is there?

So what if he is really lame? When making friends, we don't care about such things, as long as our values ​​align.

"Um... also, I didn't come alone."

"Oh? What about your friends... family?"

Rose instinctively wanted to say "friends," but worried that the other person didn't have any friends, so she quickly added "family."

Cang Yu pointed to the food stall in front of him:

"They went inside to buy snacks, they'll be back soon."

Rose looked in that direction and remembered that Cang Yu's gaze had been fixed on the direction of the snack street. She had thought that he was looking like that because he was too lonely.

Looking back now, I realize I had overthought things.

Realizing she had misunderstood, Rose blushed slightly, then became somewhat dejected.

From this perspective, the other person is not alone.

It seems like they don't really need me as a friend.

"However, it's a pleasure to be your friend."

A smile appeared on Cang Yu's face.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Rose's eyes: "Really?"

Cang Yu nodded.

Rose smiled happily.

Looking at the smiling Rose in front of him, Cang Yu found it hard to associate her with the time-space gene warrior who always had a cold face.

Perhaps the seeds of this problem were sown in childhood, or perhaps the rebelliousness of adolescence accelerated the process.

Or perhaps it was that woman named Rose who locked away the last warmth.

In short, the roses don't seem so "cold" now.

However, Cang Yu was too lazy to care about those things.

As long as she doesn't give him a sour look, it's none of his business if she hits anyone she sees outside.

As long as he doesn't feel uncomfortable when communicating with others, he won't criticize them.

There's nothing wrong with becoming friends.

"Um... could you please give me your contact information, like your QQ number or phone number?"

Cang Yu remained silent for a moment.

Seeing his silence, Rose assumed he was unwilling, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.

Was it just polite talk...?

Seeing that the girl was starting to overthink again, Cang Yu's lips twitched, but he still spoke up to explain:

"Uh, I didn't bring my phone, so I can't remember the number." As he spoke, he pulled a small notebook and a pen from his pocket.

"I'll write yours down and add you when I get back."

The truth is, Cang Yu didn't have any contact information, whether it was a phone call or a QQ number.

Because it's completely useless.

The only people he knows in this world are Ah-Zhui and the others, and he spends every day with them, so he doesn't need a cell phone or QQ at all.

Yan and the others didn't use these things at all; they used clandestine communication.

His moment of silence just now was actually a way for him to ask the shore guard to help him temporarily register a phone number and a QQ account.

But to remain silent before agreeing makes it seem like you're hesitant.

It's just making friends. Given the girl's imagination just now, she's probably going to overthink it again.

That's why Cang Yu changed his excuse.

Hearing Cang Yu's explanation, Rose finally smiled again:

"Okay, sure!"

She excitedly took the notebook and pen and buried herself in writing. She quickly wrote down her phone number and QQ number, and carefully added a prefix, afraid that Cang Yu would not be able to tell them apart.

"Here you go." Rose handed the notebook and pen back to him.

Cang Yu took it and nodded.

"Um... it's getting late, I should head back."

Rose glanced at the time and said with some reluctance.

"Then you should go back first, and be careful on the road."

Rose smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled!"

She got up to leave, but then stopped and turned back to give him some instructions.

"Remember to add me when you get back!"

Cang Yu nodded: "Don't worry, it will be added."

Rose then smiled with relief and waved to him:

"Well then, goodbye, Cang Yu."

Cang Yu waved back, "Well, goodbye, Rose."

Rose happily turned and left.

Cang Yu watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"Oh, you've only been here a short while, and you've already attracted another girl?"

Yan had returned sometime earlier, carrying several bags of packaged snacks, his tone full of teasing.

Cang Yu withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yan, and then his eyes swept down to the snacks in her hand:

"Just ordinary friends."

Yan raised an eyebrow, drawing out the words meaningfully:

"Really? Du Qiangwei... What a coincidence, she shares the same name as Time and Space Gene."

Cang Yu did not answer.

It wasn't that he felt guilty, but rather that Yan would only think he was guilty if he actually answered.

After all, this has always been his personality.

Sure enough, seeing that he didn't speak, Yan didn't press the matter further.

To paraphrase what Cangyu and Azhui once said, he simply couldn't be bothered to argue with Yan.

Yan is someone who just wants to have fun; the more you pay attention to her, the more excited she gets.

Yan took a meat skewer from the bag in her hand and handed it to Cang Yu:

"How about it, want to try one? I see there's a really long line in front of that stall."

Cang Yu took the meat skewer and took a bite:

"Hmm, not bad. Thanks."

Yan looked at him with a strange expression:

"Oh, I never thought I'd actually hear Cang Yu say thank you in my lifetime."

Cang Yu still ignored her.

A moment later, A-Zhui and Zhi-Xin appeared, each carrying a large bag full of goods.

"Let's go home." Yan casually hung the snacks she was carrying on Cang Yu's wheelchair.

"Then I'll trouble our Cang Yu to handle the 'delivery'."

Zhi Xin and A Zhui exchanged a knowing smile, and then hung up the snacks they were holding.

It's worth mentioning that the wheelchair also has a heating function.

So even when the group arrived home, the snacks were still hot.

Cang Yu once asked curiously why Zhi Xin would add such a function to a wheelchair.

This doesn't look like something a wheelchair would use, does it?

Zhi Xin replied that she had also been deeply inspired after witnessing Cang Yu's Star Skeleton Armor:

Some things you can do without, but you can't live without.

Anyway, her private coffers are huge and can withstand a lot of spending, so there's no need to skimp on a few pennies.

See, it's come in handy now?

Cang Yu could only sigh at Zhi Xin's thoughts:

They're incredibly wealthy!

If Dukao knew, he'd probably cry.
