"Good cicada! Love cicada!"

    "..."

    Looking at the cicada, which had no head but whose several legs were still wriggling and kicking wildly, Zhu Haomiao forced a smile and declined.

    "I won''t eat it. You eat it yourself."

    "No cicada???"

    Diao Chan tilted its head, blinked its eyes bewilderedly, not understanding why the owner would refuse something so delicious. After two seconds, it swiftly stuffed the cicada into its mouth.

    Chomp chomp~

    Watching that small mouth move around, Zhu Haomiao''s head throbbed with a frown. Sёar?h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "From now on, after eating those random things, don''t lick me!"

    "Cicada?"

    Before Diao Chan''s small brain could figure it out, a phone ringtone rang from his pocket. The young man took it out and couldn''t help but smile faintly.

    "Hello, senior sister."

    "Shui!! You''re finally back!"

    "Hmm."

    "Hurry over, Cangcang is about to starve. Before dying, he wants to eat your cooking."

    "Hmm?? I... mmph mmph mmph..."

    Vaguely hearing Li Cang''s muffled sobs, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and smiled.

    "Alright, I''ll be there soon."

    "Then we''ll go buy groceries first. You can come straight into the house when you arrive."

    "Hmm."

    After hanging up the phone, Zhu Haomiao loosened his sore and tired limbs and stepped toward the villa area not far from the school.

    A familiar route through community face recognition, and using a fingerprint to open the big gate of Ye Wan Ning''s villa yard. Just as the young man was about to walk in, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

    "Stop!"

    Turning his head, he saw a young man, in his twenties, with a handsome face staring at him intensely, his unfriendly eyes as if evaluating a thief.

    Clearly feeling a misunderstanding, Zhu Haomiao patiently explained.

    "Security officer, I''m not a bad person..."

    Before finishing his sentence, the young man''s face twitched, roaring with shame and anger.

    "I am not the security guard!!!"

    "..."

    Not knowing why he was so angry, Zhu Haomiao still awkwardly smiled apologetically.

    "Sorry."

    Despite the polite apology, the young man inexplicably sensed a high and mighty mockery, and wicked anger bubbled up.

    Smack~

    Grabbing Zhu Haomiao''s wrist, the young man, without a word, dragged him away.

    "Come! Follow me to the property management!"

    The sudden physical contact made the young man''s brow furrow, a hint of madness and violent blood flashing deep in his pupils.

    [Anger]!

    Whiz~

    Raising his hand to flick the wrist, Zhu Haomiao easily broke free from the constraint, his polite smile gradually disappearing, impatiently frowning.

    "Who the hell are you?"

    On the other side, the young man looked in disbelief at the slender youth, then at his own tiger mouth, unable to comprehend where that terrifying brute strength had come from!

    After a brief shock, the young man was even more furious, coldly smiling at the young man, making his fingers crack.

    "I am a property owner here, specially dealing with thieves like you!!"

    "Kid! Don''t make me use force!"

    Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his irritated anger, and explained again in as calm a tone as possible.

    "I''m also a homeowner here, not a thief."

    "Ha! Which family?"

    "This one right here."

    Pointing to Ye Wan Ning''s villa beside him, Zhu Haomiao''s explanation only made the young man burst into laughter.

    Then, the young man''s face turned cold, staring at Zhu Haomiao with an oppressive look.

    "This is my old classmate''s house, and there are only two people! I''ve never heard of a third owner!"

    Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized something, smiling slightly with an understanding that was both like a laugh and not a laugh.

    "Well, today you''ve met one."

    "You!"

    Not expecting the thief to be so arrogant, embers were red in the young man''s eyes, just about to take action when a sweet voice suddenly came from behind.

    "Xu Shengjie! What are you doing?!"

    Not far away, Ye Wan Ning hung large and small bags on Li Cang, storming over angrily.

    Xu Shengjie''s momentum dissipated instantly, showing a cautiously fawning smile.

    "Wan Ning, I..."

    "Wan Ning is what you call her? Are we that familiar?"

    Not giving him any face, Ye Wan Ning walked past him coldly, wrapping her arm around Zhu Haomiao''s shoulder.

    "I warn you, stop yelling at my boyfriend!"

    "???!!"

    Zhu Haomiao was stunned, about to open his mouth when Ye Wan Ning''s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

    "Please cooperate, there will be a great reward! Please, please~"

    Hearing Ye Wan Ning''s soft plea, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for several seconds before decisively raising his head, surveying the young man with a victor''s superior look gazing at a defeated dog, his lips curling with contempt.

    But it was this subtle expression that instantly broke Xu Shengjie''s defense, as if an arrow had pierced his heart, he staggered back two steps, his eyes flitting between the two of them, trying to find an unnatural flaw.

    "How can an immature child like him be worthy of you?"

    "Wan Ning, you''re lying to me, aren''t you?"

    Ye Wan Ning rolled her eyes, sighed deeply, her heart weary.

    "Don''t be so self-conscious, our relationship isn''t deep enough to intentionally deceive you..."

    "No! You must be lying to me, I don''t believe it!"

    Seeing Xu Shengjie still immersed in his own world, unwilling to face reality, Ye Wan Ning couldn''t even be bothered to answer, turning her head and giving Zhu Haomiao a quick peck on the lips, then looking at him with an impatient gaze.

    Clearly saying nothing yet saying everything, Xu Shengjie looked as if he''d seen his wife cheating right in front of him, stepping back two steps, face bloodless, breathing more labored, his eyes gradually filling with bloodshot.

    In the midst of all this, Zhu Haomiao sensed his Spirit''s [Anger] and [Jealousy] expanding like a volcano, struggling to break free of the [Dao Heart]''s restraints, ready to erupt uncontrollably.

    Zhu Haomiao instinctively stepped forward, shielding Ye Wan Ning behind him.

    But at this moment, Li Cang, covered in bags large and small, walked to Xu Shengjie''s side, shot him a sharp narrow glance.

    In an instant, the cold blade-like gaze chilled him to the core, instantly clearing Xu Shengjie''s distorted eyes.

    "Don''t do anything stupid."

    Calmly warned, Li Cang, carrying large and small bags of food, walked straight through the door. Ye Wan Ning also dragged Zhu Haomiao behind, leaving Xu Shengjie standing dumbfounded, watching stupidly as the three of them disappeared behind the door.

    Bang~

    "No!!!!!"

    With the door closing, Zhu Haomiao heard a mournful wail echo behind him, an image of a man slowly kneeling on the ground vividly before his eyes, the familiar BGM echoing in his ears.

    Snowflakes fluttering, the north wind howling...

    The world, vast and desolate...

    Pressing his lips into a wry smile, Zhu Haomiao glanced at the stunning beauty beside him who breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to say something but stopping short.

    What a sinful woman...

    On the other side, Ye Wan Ning misunderstood, rolling her eyes at him.

    "I get it, Xu Shengjie is your buddy, your dear friend, right? Ten thousand bucks."
