NOVEL WEB 5: The Secret to Making Friends
Supernova?
The three words Yao Can uttered stunned all the Night Watchers present.
“Is it true?”
“This is no joking matter…”
Some tried to detect signs of jest in Yao Can’s expression, but unfortunately, his face was full of seriousness and gravity. His dead fish eyes were very intimidating, not at all like he was joking.
“This…”
The atmosphere instantly became somber.
A red-haired man said, “Where did this information come from? Is it verified?”
This was a Radiant Sun Night Watcher named Chi Hao.
Yao Can nodded and calmly said, “Don’t worry about where the information came from. I believe there’s a high probability it’s true. I can stake my reputation on it.”
Another gray-haired man said, “I’ll assume for now that this is true. Is there any other useful information?”
This was also a Radiant Sun Night Watcher, named Yan Que.
Yao Can replied, “The eruption time is in late September, the range is the entire Shanghe City. That’s all.”
“Then let’s start taking action. Three Radiant Suns might not be enough. Let’s borrow two more from the neighboring city,” Chi Hao stood up, already in a state of readiness.
Thus, all the Night Watchers in Shanghe City began to enter a state of war preparation, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
In the time to come, these Night Watchers would mobilize en masse, intensifying patrols to find the anomalies hidden in the shadows.
But with Shanghe City being so vast, how could they possibly cover every corner?
The Star Eclipse would erupt in late September.
This meant that now, the super-grade Star was still hidden or dormant within someone’s body, not leaking any detectable fluctuations, so it hadn’t been captured by [Star-Knower].
Therefore, they could only have Night Watchers go out to search.
Star bearers have a special sense for their own kind. As long as they’re not too far apart, they can vaguely detect each other.
Even if it’s not the target, they still need to check.
If they really had to rely on [Star-Knower] to capture fluctuations, it would mean the Supernova Star Eclipse had already confirmed its eruption.
Meanwhile.
Ye Lan was with Lanfeng Suyu.
“Ye Lan, what do you like to eat?”
“Mm… I don’t particularly like any specific food. As long as it’s delicious, I like to eat it.”
This answer was as good as not answering at all.
Lanfeng Suyu continued to ask, “Then do you like chocolate?”
“I do.”
After all, chocolate was also a tasty snack for Ye Lan.
Lanfeng Suyu immediately looked happy.
“Really? I love chocolate too. Let me take you to eat some.”
“Mm…”
Ye Lan’s hand was naturally held by Lanfeng Suyu, who seemed very happy.
“Mm…”
Ye Lan’s body stiffened a bit, her expression subtle.
After all, she had known Lanfeng Suyu for less than half a day. Was it really okay to hold hands so intimately?
Did this count as friendship?
But since Lanfeng Suyu hadn’t acknowledged it, Ye Lan didn’t dare to presume, otherwise it would be awkward later.
For now, she could only consider her a kind colleague.
Soon.
Ye Lan was brought by Lanfeng Suyu to a dessert shop.
“Boss, two chocolate cakes please.”
“Just a moment.”
Ye Lan and Lanfeng Suyu sat at a table, waiting for the desserts to arrive.
Lanfeng Suyu hummed a tune while staring directly at Ye Lan, as if observing her carefully.
“Mm…”
Ye Lan didn’t dare say a word, her head lowered so much it was almost buried in her chest.
No, wait, that scale couldn’t be buried at all.
“Um… why do you keep looking at me?”
“Because you’re very cute.”
“Ah… mm… thank you.”
As she spoke, Ye Lan’s face gradually turned a light shade of pink, and she no longer dared to look directly into Lanfeng Suyu’s eyes.
For some reason, every time someone called her cute, she didn’t feel proud, but rather a sense of embarrassment.
Could it be that she still couldn’t cross that line in her heart?
Wuu wuu wuu.
“Hehe~” Seeing Ye Lan’s shy appearance, Lanfeng Suyu liked her more and more.
“In the future, we don’t know each other, right?”
“Mm.”
“But I really want to get to know you. I wonder if after you go back, the me from a year later will still remember you.”
Ye Lan recalled the incident with Bai Yu and said uncertainly, “Probably… will.”
“If I do, how about I come to Yunzhang City to play with you?”
“Eh?!”
“Is there a problem?” Lanfeng Suyu blinked, not understanding why Ye Lan was so surprised.
Ye Lan stammered, “Well… why do you want to come find me?”
“Because I’ve met you, and you suit my taste. Isn’t it normal to want to play with you?”
“Mm… so are we friends now?” Ye Lan felt a bit anxious.
Lanfeng Suyu smiled slightly, “What do you think? Do two people need to verbally confirm it to be friends? Isn’t this something that’s just understood?”
“Is… is that so?”
“Mm.”
Seeing Ye Lan’s somewhat embarrassed expression, Lanfeng Suyu seemed to guess something and frowned slightly.
“Could it be… you don’t have many friends?”
“Mm… that’s right, my social situation is a complete mess, so I basically don’t have any friends.”
“I see. Then let me teach you a secret to quickly make friends.”
Hearing this, Ye Lan listened attentively, her eyes suddenly becoming focused.
She was a bit curious.
“What’s the secret?”
“It’s… to directly hug them and loudly say something like ‘I want to be your friend’. That’s all.”
Lanfeng Suyu’s smile was very subtle, as if she was joking.
Anyway, Ye Lan felt she was joking.
“Wuu~ And here I was so expectant.”
“Actually, this method might work very well for you, Ye Lan.”
“Really?”
“Really. Look, you’re so cute, it’s easy to make people feel good about you. If you directly hug them and act coquettish, they’ll definitely agree.”
Ye Lan was full of question marks and muttered, “Why does this sound like a perverted hooligan?”
Lanfeng Suyu nodded, not denying it.
“So this method can only be used by adorable little lolis like you. If others did it, they’d be seen as perverts.”
Ye Lan fell into thought.
This method Lanfeng Suyu mentioned… did sound quite effective.
After all, if a cute little loli pounced on her asking to be friends, Ye Lan would definitely not have the heart to refuse.
And Ye Lan happened to be a very cute loli.
But the problem was… she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
She was extremely shy, blushing at the slightest thing, let alone pouncing on strangers and acting coquettish. It was unthinkable.
“Can’t do it.”
“Mm~ What a pity, it’s actually a very good method.”
Soon, Ye Lan and Lanfeng Suyu’s chocolate cakes were served.
“Eat up, this is my treat.”
“Mm, thank you.”
Ye Lan’s eyes were full of starlight as she picked up the spoon and put a bit in her mouth.
“Mm~ Delicious!”
“Right? Chocolate cake is super tasty. I wouldn’t lie to you.”
Lanfeng Suyu also started eating, showing a happy smile.
Ye Lan’s mood also improved considerably because of this.
“Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm~”
It seemed that staying here wasn’t such a bad thing after all.
