Chapter 23: You Dare to Play Me?

  But then Lance suddenly changed the subject: "What's the point of talking about these things? Let's talk about something more pleasant."

  "Then go ahead and tell me about your misfortune so I can be amused." Yun Hai Fan said without thinking.

  Lan Se's helpless voice: "What bad luck do I have?"

  "It's not a bad thing either." Yun Hai Fan had an "I'm very tolerant" expression on his face, "I want to hear about your past."

  "As for me, I don't have much of a past." Lance held up the cup with two fingers, supporting the body of the cup with his remaining three fingers. "I'm no different from you guys, learning basic courses in the mortal realm and then attending magic school for three years before graduating."

  "Alright, since you can't remember, I'll ask instead." Yun Haifan sat up straight, with the demeanor of a press conference reporter, "Where does your family live?"

  Qinggu Town

  "So you're from the Imperial City." Yun Haiyan muttered, "With such a good background, why didn't you find a job there?"

  "I want to go out for a walk." A faint smile floated onto Lance's face.

  Where did all these strange questions come from?

  "So you have a home now?"

  Lan Xicheng was about to retort "Who doesn't have a family?" when he remembered that Yun Haifeng was an orphan, and the cruel reality of it made him swallow his words, only managing a faint "uh-huh".

  "Where are you going two years later?"

  "What's this about me going somewhere in two years?" Lance asked, inexplicably tense.

  "Weren't you supposed to come and get a two-year gold coating before leaving?"

  "Oh, of course I'm going home." Lance's tone returned to its previous calmness.

  "Do you have a girlfriend?"

  "No."

  "Why?"

  "And why is that?" Lance thought to herself that agreeing to answer Yun Hai Fan's question was a mistake, and even coming to the magical world was a mistake, because being a journalist in the mortal realm was good enough for her.

  "Of course, this involves my next question." Yun Haifeng said with a serious expression.

  "Then just ask the next question."

  "How many relationships have you had?"

  "Is this different from having a girlfriend?"

  "Of course." Yun Hai Fan's face was written all over "I'm serious about this interview, please keep it real", "Whether or not you have a girlfriend is just a present tense, proving your current single status; several relationships represent whether you had opposite-sex or same-sex partners in the past. Oh, right, do you have a boyfriend?"

  Lance sneered: "Doesn't have permission from the Feather Kingdom yet?"

  "There's no representation that it won't be done privately, looking at your stubbornly feudal appearance, it seems like there isn't either. Let's move on to the next question - are you prepared for free love or are you going to take the blind dating route?"

  "Where... did you come up with so many strange questions?"

  Yun Hai Fan solemnly took out a piece of paper, which was full of various questions: "It was given to me by the girls in our class. They said I'm the bravest, so they asked me to ask you these questions."

  "What's the benefit?"

  "What benefits?" Yun Hai Fan thought to herself, "You're asking me questions because they look up to you, but you actually want to get benefits out of it."

  "What benefits have they brought you?"

  "I've always done good deeds without seeking reward." Yun Hai Fan threw a contemptuous expression, "Am I the kind of person who only seeks profit?"

  "Isn't it?"

  "What?"

  "The fact is like that, you can't deny it even if you speak a foreign language." Lance looked at her calmly, certain she would confess the truth soon.

  "Hmm... They promised that if we met in the school assessment, they would definitely let me win..." Yun Hai Fan was indeed intimidated by Lan Si's clear and calm yet piercing gaze, and obediently spilled the beans.

  "Oh, then you won't see them at the school assessment."

  "Do you want to kill someone and silence them?"

  "Don't think of me as being as gloomy as you." Lance shot back with a scornful gaze, "Don't forget, I'm the class leader now, and I get to decide on the assessment matters."

  "Damn it."

  "My sister is useless too."

  "Don't be like that, boss." Yun Hai Fan hastily appeased him, "You know how important the school exam is to me."

  "It's very important for everyone." Lances poured himself a drink, completely ignoring her.

  "For a puppetry student like me who has no parents, it's just about getting the graduation certificate and making a living."

  "The students in the Puppetry class are basically just like you." Lance glanced at her, "So the Puppetry class also has another name called 'Containment'."

  "This is discrimination..."

  "I have a personality discrimination syndrome, I just like to discriminate against those who don't have good character."

  "Do you believe me..."

  "What are you going to do?" Lance finally looked at her straight in the eye, his eyes filled with countless answers - hang yourself? Jump off a building? Self-mutilation? Mutual destruction? Are you going to scare me?

  "I... " Yun Hai Fan hesitated for half a minute, then said with great righteousness, "I'll rely on you and not leave your house, eat your food and use your things, and in the next life I'll depend on you to survive!"

  This abandonment of dignity and thick-skinned declaration had a certain deterrent effect on Lance: "It's really troublesome to say this."

  Yun Hai Fan smiled complacently as he sipped his wine: "Those who go barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, if you don't let me live a good life, I'll bother you every day."

  "How can I bear this?" Lance said with a wave of his hand. "In that case, I'll just have to get someone to take care of the trouble you're causing."

  As he spread out his hands, a piece of paper slipped from his grasp. Yun Haiyan picked it up just before it hit the ground and caught sight of the large characters on it - "School Exam Loop Tournament Roster".

  Yun Haiyan's name is followed by Yin Xu, An Su and Shu Ruo.

  She raised her head, but a threatening expression replaced her face: "Lan Lao Da, confess honestly, was it just now teasing me?"

  "Can you make a living out of fooling me?"

  "This..."

  "However, although it can't be eaten as a meal, it's still quite fun."

  "That's enough." Yun Hai Fan stopped talking and ate with a stern face, no longer paying attention to Lan Si Cheng.

  "You ask me so many questions, can't I tease you a bit?" Lance felt the atmosphere was off, and he realized that he hadn't interacted with many girls before. In his impression, any girl who looked strong on the outside was extremely fragile inside. Ranyun Haifeng didn't look tough enough on the outside, but she was definitely strong enough, not an ordinary person could see her weak side, if she was silent and uncommunicative, it was probably because she was either angry or heartbroken.

  He suddenly felt a little flustered, afraid that in the next second he would see big tears rolling out of her eyes.

  Lance muttered that girls were just too sensitive and easily irritated, while carefully probing: "Hey......"

  Yun Hai Fan ignored him.

  "You... aren't angry, are you..." Lance's tone was very cautious, his weak and pitiful appearance was even more so than Yun Haiyan.

  "What's the use of getting angry?" Yun Hai Fan replied.

  "When I'm angry... " Lances stuttered, but couldn't get the words out, and instead heard Yun Hai's silvery laughter: "Lan Boss, it looks like you're having a bad day too."

  "How dare you trick me!"

  "It was you first!"
