Gu Si only wanted to use this to test Yue Ran''s feelings for him, but he did not expect that his words would really make the other party cry so sadly.

    But even if he felt flustered, he also felt extreme joy in his heart that he could not deny.

    Thump. Thump. Thump.

    His heart was pounding.

    Who knew that the person he likes would like him as well?

    He is so happy!

    The poor Yue Ran, who was still crying, suddenly heard a suppressed laugh from above her head.

    Hearing such a sound, the girl raised her head and looked at the man in disbelief.

    She saw Gu Si with a smile on his face that had not yet disappeared in the midst of his laughing fest.

    Gu Si tried hard to purse his lips, which still wanted to let out an irrepressible smile, then let out a fake cough to ease up the atmosphere.

    Gu Si knew fully well that he was the guilty person and thus turned his head to the side embarrassedly and did not dare to look at the girl''s accusing teary eyes.

    "Gu Si! You lied to me!" Yue Ran exclaimed with a reddened face.

    "How would I dare to lie to Ran Ran?" Gu Si said with a teasing smile. "My grandpa really wanted me to get officially engaged and then get married to Qi Qian, but..." As his words trailed off into a pause, he suddenly approached the girl and kissed her already red and swollen eyes before continuing, "The only one I want to get married to is Ran Ran."

    …

    Gu Si did not expect that a small experiment to test Yue Ran''s feelings for him would have such an effect.

    Although he and Yue Ran were acting pretty much like close lovers as before, and even though the two of them had done the most intimate things with one another, the relationship that they had now was still different after all.

    Since the two of them had made up their minds to stay together, they became more and more sticky with each passing day.

    Gu Si, who now always had a rippling smile on his face, had never imagined that just a few months ago he was still an indifferent, stern, and cold person who never smiled like a still and icy lake that had always been frozen for tens of thousands of years.

    And Fu Chen, who saw this change with his own eyes, felt his heart clench in pain.

    It hurts.

    …

    There is a Squad Zero in the base.

    This squad consists of the twenty strongest people in the base. It acts as the entire base''s invincible blade, cutting through anything in its way.

    Both Fu Chen and Qi Qian were naturally situated in this squad. Moreover, Gu Si was also the leader of this squad.

    Sometimes, during the squad meeting, Gu Si would suddenly receive a phone call, and then his expressionless face would instantly be filled with endless tenderness the second he picked up his phone.

    Naturally, everyone knew who the person on the other side of the phone was. In other words, all the squad members of squad zero knew that there was only one person who could make Gu Si change his face in a split second.

    That person is Yue Ran.

    Occasionally, while Gu Si was eating during the lunch period, he would take out a pink, delicate-looking lunch box, which contained various cute and adorable-looking meals. It may sound and look unbelievable, but that was just how it was. It was a fact.

    When Gu Si was to perform squad missions, he would wear a bracelet woven by Yue Ran herself. From time to time, the skin exposed on his neck would have a few irregularities, such as scattered hickeys and sometimes even bite marks. sea??h thё N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    All of these only reminded Fu Chen of how beautiful the love between Gu Si and Yue Ran is.

    Once again, Fu Chen looked at the red marks on the back of Gu Si''s neck, and his inky black eyes uncontrollably elicited a hostile aura. The originally pure black pupils looked as if they were being poured forth with a stream of red blood.

    Fu Chen quickly lowered his head and quietly concealed the very same design of a bracelet on his wrist that was made of red strings like that of Gu Si''s into the long sleeve of his clothes. However, one could still easily tell the difference in the bracelets since Fu Chen''s one looked older and was stained with a little dirt that could no longer be washed off.

    Fu Chen still remembered how he got it in the first place.

    At that time, he and Yue Ran were still dating.

    During one class break, Fu Chen came to pick Yue Ran up when it was time to get out of her class.

    "A Chen!" Yue Ran called out happily to him.

    The girl held his hand with one hand while the other was stretched out in front of him. And then she opened her closed palm to reveal two red snake-knot bracelets.

    Fu Chen looked at the girl with a puzzled gaze until he saw her tie one of the bracelets around his wrist before looking at him with an extremely proud expression after doing this kind of action.

    "I made it myself," Yue Ran said while emphasizing the word "myself" in her sentence. "This has been very popular on the internet recently. If two people who love each other wear the same kind of knotted bracelet, this means that they will never be separated and they must be entangled together for a lifetime!"

    Fu Chen froze for a moment in surprise, then looked at the girl warmly and said with a tone full of seriousness, "Yes, we will be entangled together forever."

    Yue Ran smiled when she heard the man''s words, then raised her chin in a complacent manner and said, "But A Chen has not put it on for me yet."

    The girl''s flushed face and the sparkling love that overflowed from her eyes at that time were a beauty that Fu Chen would never forget for a lifetime.

    Yet at this moment, she was no longer his. And the snake-knot bracelet tied to his wrist has to be hidden from public sight too.

    "Squad Leader Gu, someone is looking for you outside," someone said.

    In an instant, the members of the squad quietly exchanged glances in private. Well, except for Fu Chen and Qi Qian.

    Oh, their sister-in-law is here to find their squad leader again.

    Everyone in Squad Zero, who was always stuffed full of pink clouds of love emitted from Gu Si and Yue Ran, said that they could still be stuffed with more fluffy pink cotton-like clouds and pink bubbles of love.

    This was because as soon as their sister-in-law came, Squad Leader Gu would stay happy for a long time, and thus the squad meeting''s atmosphere would also be much better and less tense and terrifying. Their nerves would also be able to relax a little because of this.

    Qi Qian looked at Fu Chen''s slightly lonely figure on the side, and her eyes flickered a few times with an unknown expression.

    The next time Qi Qian''s parents and Grandpa Gu discussed the engagement between Qi Qian and Gu Si again, Gu Si shook his head and left, while Qi Qian nodded her head and agreed to the proposal.

    Brother Fu Chen became like this because of Yue Ran, so how could Yue Ran still live so happily every day? She, Qi Qian, just had to interfere in Yue Ran''s relationship with Gu Si.

    The Salvation System, who looked at the current development that had been messed up chaotically, only felt tired.

    The world''s savior and the son of destiny did not fall in love with one another, and they did not get together.

    Fu Chen, who was clearly supposed to be dead after being torn off by the zombies, not even leaving a piece of meat behind, suddenly appeared after rising out of his grave and was actually alive. Although he was not human, he was still considered alive anyway.

    The two previous ones were fine, but what was with Yue Ran, who had nothing to do and had no substantial ability that was to be noted for worth but could actually grab the attention of two noteworthy men with the luck of the heavens to circle around her? The world''s savior could only be dejected on the sidelines.

    What kind of drama was actually unfolding live right in front of its eyes?

    The Salvation System could only sigh.

    Never mind; the most important thing that needs to be done is to save the world, while everything else, including love, counts second! It does not matter much if the world''s savior is going to have a romantic life or not.

    The Salvation System''s main mission was, after all, to save the world.

    …

    During this time, although Gu Si and Yue Ran did not deliberately spend their relationship in a high-profile way or show it off to others, their relationship still easily attracted other people''s attention. And so, the low-profile relationship turned into a high-profile one without the two protagonists realizing it. Not to mention that Yue Ran and Gu Si did not have the intention to cover up their relationship.

    Every time the two appeared in the public eye, it was almost as if a spotlight was following their every move. Even if they were to do something normal, they would still look like idols in a movie frame.
