Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Brother, I’ve Been So Anxious Waiting for You!

In the end, Mr.

Mo Si still shamelessly followed them.

Lu Mian had no idea what Yun Sang was up to, just quietly following him, and had even less concept of the “sneaky snack” he mentioned.

They finally arrived at the room where Lu Mian had stayed before.

Lu Mian, looking at Yun Sang who was mysterious yet somewhat excited, gulped down some ice water and asked, “What’s going on, exactly?”

The gossip-hungry Mr.

Mo Si closely trailed behind Lu Mian.

Yun Sang looked at the ice water in the girl’s hand, thinking it looked quite refreshing, so he also took a bottle out of the fridge and guzzled several mouthfuls.

He leaned close to Lu Mian’s ear and whispered with a hint of showing off, “I ordered the tastiest burger from Jinjing!

It will be here soon!”

ThenaEUR”

Yun Sang heard the sound of Lu Mian swallowing her saliva.

Mo Si noticed that the way Lu Mian looked at Yun Sang had changed; her eyes sparkled, shining brightly.

“Yun God, what are you two whispering about?

Let me hear too!”

Mr.

Mo Si was dying of curiosity and anxiety.

Yun Sang was someone who always acted boldly and arrogantly, doing whatever he pleased, even daring to provoke Mr.

Mo.

He didn’t dare to show his anger, but he tried his best to prevent them from making bigger mistakes.

It seemed Yun Sang knew that Mr.

.c0

Mo Si had misunderstood something but purposely wanted to tease him, the mischief in his eyes deepening.

He touched his lower lip with his tongue, his delicate and well-defined features smiling indulgently.

“Xiaosi, you can watch, but there’s none for you,” he teased.

Mr.

Mo Si: You mean I can watch on scene?!

This…

how could I possibly?!

“Even if I were given a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to join in,” Mr.

Mo Si murmured, as he wiped off sweat and carefully took out his phone, preparing to send a text to Xiao Qimo.

He could only send a warning before things got worse.

Yun Sang snatched Mr.

Mo Si’s phone away with a swift move.

“Xiaosi, you can look, but no spilling the beans!”

Mr.

Mo Si felt conflicted: “Yun God, don’t do this.

It does no good to anyone!

Please!”

Yun Sang haughtily turned his face away.

Lu Mian didn’t understand the hidden meaning in the men’s conversation, knowing only that she was about to have a delicious burger, which made her very happy.

She reassured Mr.

Mo Si, “Mr.

Mo Si, just this once.

Director Qi won’t know!”

Mr.

Mo Si: Huh???

Such a terrible line!

Looking at Yun Sang with his hands behind his head, then at Lu Mian’s face full of anticipation, he felt like crying.

He silently went over to the fridge and randomly grabbed a drink to cool down.

But he found himself holding a bottle of Sprite.

That green bottle, it seemed to hint at something…

Yun Sang soon received a call from the delivery guy, asking him to go downstairs to pick it up.

Mr.

Mo Si, fearing Yun Sang would cause trouble, was pestering him, so Lu Mian took the initiative to go downstairs.

As she left the room, the corners of her mouth were raised in a smile, full of anticipation.

Yulan Pavilion was empty at that moment, as everybody was still at the exam and hadn’t returned.

Lu Mian, with light footsteps, descended the stairs and approached the door.

“Burger?” asked the man outside, dressed in a delivery uniform, in a mechanical tone.

Lu Mian paused for a moment, then said, “Yes, thank you.”

She opened the door, about to reach for the burger package, when, just as she was to touch it, she suddenly felt a chill.

Lu Mian had a very keen sense of danger.

She retracted her hand with swift speed, and as she did, a flash of cold light swiped past her clothes.

The girl swiftly stepped back several feet, avoiding it perfectly, the fleeting darkness in her clear eyes vanished in an instant as she stood still, her eyes narrowing at the so-called “delivery guy.”

In front of her, the “delivery guy” was holding a burger in one hand and a dagger in the other.

The dagger, just pulled from beneath the burger box, reflected a glint of sunlight, its cold light faintly threatening.

If Lu Mian had been a moment slower or a second less alert, she could have been harmed.

Especially those hands.

Lu Mian’s perfect evasion was evidently beyond the man’s expectation, and as he looked at the clean dagger without a single drop of blood on it, he knew that his first attack had failed.

Surprisingly, the high school girl had dodged his attack.

And she did so in an utterly unanticipated moment!

The man narrowed his cruel eyes and tore open his delivery uniform to reveal the black combat clothes underneath.

“Are you Lu Mian?” His voice was husky and devoid of emotion.

Lu Mian had stopped three meters away, sizing up her opponent and tentatively concluded that he must be a member of some mercenary organization, though she didn’t know which one it was.

She remained calm and composed, standing there quietly, without the slightest sense of panic that a normal girl would have upon encountering an assassin.

“That’s me,” the girl exhaled coldly.

Colder than the mercenary before her.

“Good,” nodded the Mercenary Leader.

He didn’t waste any more words, gripping the dagger in his palm, ready for a second round of attack.

Lu Mian slightly raised her hand with indifference.

“Wait a moment.”

“…” The Mercenary Leader hesitated mid-step, speaking emotionlessly, “Last words?”

He was asking if Lu Mian had any last words she wanted to say.

Lu Mian didn’t look at him, her gaze fixed on the burger box in his hand, seemingly quite concerned about it.

If the leader hadn’t personally checked the contents, he might have thought it contained something incredibly important.

But clearly, it was just a few burgers.

The Mercenary Leader, experienced in carrying out missions, knew the taboo of “dying for being too talkative.” Those in his line of work were desperadoes; once a mission was accepted, completion was the only goal, without any need for sentiments or conversation.

“You have ten seconds.” Ten seconds for last words was the most he was willing to concede.

He had heard it all too many times: the “save me’s,” the “spare me’s,” the “what can I do for you to let me go’s,” to the point his ears were practically calloused.

Under the Mercenary Leader’s impatient expression, Lu Mian spoke calmly.

“Give me the burger first.”

“…”

Suddenly, the courtyard fell silent.

The Mercenary Leader’s gaze slowly shifted to the burger box in his left hand, and beneath the numb cruelty in his eyes, there seemed to be a flicker of emotion.

Is this really what a high school student should say?

Is this truly the last words of someone about to die?

The leader was furious; never before had someone dared to be so arrogant in front of him!

Even less so someone who was as easy to crush as a tiny ant with the flick of a finger!

His left hand tightened, clutching the box so hard it almost deformed.

Lu Mian was really concerned, her eyes never leaving it.

Just then, Yun Sang and Mo Si, who were belated in waiting for Lu Mian to come upstairs, rushed down in a hurry.

“Sister, what are you doing?

I’ve been so anxious waiting for you,” called Yun Sang as he came downstairs.

When he reached the bottom, Yun Sang halted, the first to detect the unusual tension in the air.

He and Mo Si instantly went on alert.

Upon seeing a strange man wielding a dagger in the courtyard, they both immediately understood the situation.

Yun Sang quickly moved to Lu Mian’s side, while Mo Si unhesitatingly stood on her other side.

However, in the trio, two of them weren’t looking at the mercenary but were instead staring at the burger box with uncannily similar expressions.

Mo Si: …

Mercenary Leader: …This is an insult and a provocation to my profession!

I am enraged!

A vicious look crossed his numb, cold face, along with a filthy curse muttered under his breath.

He violently threw the burger box onto the ground!
