Lu Sheng grinned and scratched his head. In reality, he wasn't very good at getting along with people, especially with newcomers. Over the years, he hadn't made many friends, apart from Yuan Yuzhe. Who else could he drag out to have a meal together and roam the streets?

But a few days ago, I ran into Xiao Wu at the bar. We chatted happily and exchanged phone numbers. He suggested that we have dinner together and go shopping on the day of the fireworks event at the mall.

As a result... During a critical moment, Mr. Lu forgot that Xiao Wu was a rabbit and ended up choosing a steakhouse. It is true that after the disappearance of animals, humans could only produce their own protein-based food. However, thanks to increasingly advanced technology, most types of protein-based foods, such as sushi or steak, have been successfully replicated. But no matter what, rabbits are herbivores!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng unconsciously touched his forehead. He realized that he was the epitome of a typical straight male cancer.

"Okay, it's alright!" Xiao Wu patted Lu Sheng's arm, a wide smile filling his big eyes. "I can't eat much either, and besides, the firework banquet later is the most important thing."

Such an understanding cutie, it would be great if they were a girl! Bringing them home would be even more adorable with bunny ears and a little tail...

Lu Sheng felt a bit shy about his own thoughts. His cheeks turned red as he glanced at Xiao Wu. Both of his ears were pressed under a snow-white fur hat, giving him a very cute and charming appearance. It seemed that from just a while ago until now, he had already absorbed quite a few jealous gazes from others.

"Only five minutes left until the fireworks show. Please move away from the railing to avoid any possible sparks!"

A soft male voice sounded from the radio. Lusheng reached out and pulled Xiaowu back two steps. However, he suddenly felt someone bump into his back. Quickly turning around, he bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry!"

When Lu Sheng fixed his gaze, he suddenly felt a trance. He foolishly stared at the brown-haired boy standing behind him, and in an instant, this boy's figure merged with another person's silhouette.

The boy grinned broadly at Lu Sheng, but his eyelashes were lowered, twinkling with a faint glow.

There is a feeling of familiarity with this face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but there's something different about it.

"What's wrong?" Xiaowu felt the stiffness of the person beside them and turned their head as well. However, in the blink of an eye, the brown-haired boy had already been swallowed up by the crowded crowd.

"Oh, it's nothing..." Lu Sheng turned his head sulkily and forced a smile at Xiao Wu. His mind was still constantly pulling up memories.

The bracelet suddenly vibrated, and Lu Sheng picked it up to take a look. The display screen projected a jumble of coded telephone numbers.

The last time I received a phone call like this was on the day Yang Fei was shot by the Shadow Fox.

Lu Sheng's hand trembled slightly, but he quickly put on the headphones and glanced at Xiao Wu on the side, who signaled him to wait there. After receiving a nod from the other person, Lu Sheng quickly squeezed himself back to the end of the crowd.

"Hello?"

"Hey, mister, do you remember me?"

A flippant voice came through the phone, causing Lu Sheng's brows to furrow and his teeth to clench. "Ying Hu..."

"Do I still need to call you by that after I've already told you my name?" Jiuyue chuckled on the other end of the phone.

"What are you up to again?" As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Sheng's first reaction was to quickly survey his surroundings.

In this moment, he suddenly realized that the fireworks banquet was such a golden opportunity that NHW's typical criminal methods couldn't possibly let slip by! A chill ran down his spine as Lusheng quickened his pace, just about to rush into the crowd to pull Xiaowu out, but the voice on the phone spoke again.
