"Dying isn't that unusual. Not many people survive the Groundhog Cup in the first place. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. Besides, it's not like I'm really dead. I just can't play Star Ring anymore. At worst, I'll just transfer to logistics. It's no big deal."

Su Mo's tone was unusually light.

Seeing Lin Zinuo hesitating, Su Mo reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Okay, don't overthink it. It's nothing."

"Really?"

Lin Zinuo looked up at Su Mo, asking uncertainly.

Su Mo smiled wryly and said, "Who's comforting whom here? I'm really fine."

"You're lying. If you were really okay, why aren't you at work? Why are you hiding at home?"

"I'm not hiding at home. I've been playing games all night for days. I was about to pass out from exhaustion. I was catching up on sleep. And I hadn't even slept well before you woke me up."

"Ah, then continue sleeping."

Lin Zinuo's face was a little red as she said apologetically.

"Forget it, I can't sleep now. By the way, how are things going for you guys?"

Su Mo was now fully awake, so he inquired.

"It's still okay, but the casualties are really heavy. Of the twenty thousand that started, only a few hundred are left. But we've all reached Qilong City and joined up with the main force. Also, there's some super explosive news. Sister Xue got a complete IV generation bio-armor. Now Sister Xue is totally famous and has been invited to join the Tianlong Guild. The whole guild is going wild. Haven't you checked the group chat?"

Lin Zinuo became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Come on, I was sleeping. By the way, what's the situation in Qilong City?"

Su Mo continued to ask. He wasn't surprised that Qian Chengxue was being valued. Taking Qilong City this time, some of the credit really had to go to Qian Chengxue.

But then again, Su Mo was also very curious about what opportunities Qian Chengxue had encountered after separating from him to actually get a complete IV generation bio-armor.

Of course, none of that really mattered anymore.

"Two-thirds of Qilong City has collapsed and is being cleared and explored. Also, Sister Xue is leading a team to see if they can dig you out. Don't be discouraged, maybe they'll be able to rescue you later."

"Yeah, I know. I'm going to wash up and get ready to go to work."

"Um, won't you rest a little longer?"

"Rest? If I do, everyone will misunderstand like you did, thinking something happened to me."

"Then how about I treat you to a meal and then I'll take you to work?"

"Okay."

Su Mo didn't refuse. He was indeed quite hungry.

"Let's go, quickly change your clothes."

Lin Zinuo urged him, in a very good mood, completely unlike her worried self from the beginning.

"Okay."

......

Not long after, Lin Zinuo brought Su Mo to the entrance of a giant shopping mall near Daybreak Corporation.

"To such a high-end place?"

Su Mo was also a little surprised.

"You've fallen, so I have to comfort you properly and treat you to a good meal."

"Are you sure? Eating at this place might cost you more than half a month's salary."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Tch, eat whatever you want. If I even frown, I'll take your last name."

"You said it."

Su Mo responded with a smile.

"I said it. I guarantee you won't be able to eat it all, and I can afford it."

"Confident enough, let's go in then."

"Let's go!"

A few minutes later, Lin Zinuo led Su Mo into a buffet restaurant. She looked at Su Mo smugly and said,

"Eat, eat as much as you want."

Su Mo looked at Lin Zinuo helplessly.

"I was wondering why you were suddenly so generous. Turns out you were prepared."

"That's right, but I'm not kidding around. This buffet is still pretty good, especially the desserts, they're amazing."

"Okay, then I'll try it."

......

At the table, Lin Zinuo thoughtfully brought all kinds of food for Su Mo.

"Come, try this."

"That's enough, I can't eat that much."

"If you can't eat it all, you can eat it slowly! Haven't you heard the saying that food is the best way to heal a wounded heart?"

Lin Zinuo smiled and stuffed a peeled shrimp into Su Mo's mouth....

A man eating at the next table looked at this scene, his face full of unconcealed envy. Where could you find such a beautiful and thoughtful girl these days?

He had been watching for a long time, and the girl had been bringing food the whole time. The most outrageous thing was that she even peeled shrimp and fed it to his mouth. He couldn't help but exclaim,

"It's true that comparing people is infuriating. To have such a good girl, and he's just sitting there like a log, complaining about everything."

At this moment, the girlfriend sitting opposite him, in a fit of anger, directly picked up water and splashed it on his face, complaining angrily as she got up to leave.

"Hmph, what are you looking at? You've lost your soul. You don't even look at yourself. People are so handsome, of course they get that kind of treatment. I'm doing you a favor by even looking at you. You can eat here yourself, I'm not keeping you company."

"Lili, wait for me..."

......

The people eating around them, seeing this scene, all looked at Su Mo and Lin Zinuo, who were also a little embarrassed.

"I can do it myself."

Su Mo coughed and said.

"Okay."

Lin Zinuo also reacted, her cheeks a little red.

The two silently ate their food, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After eating for a while, Lin Zinuo coughed and broke the silence, saying, "I'm going to get some ice cream, want me to get you one too?"

"I'll go myself."

"No need to bother, just wait here."

With that, Lin Zinuo got up and left.

Su Mo sat alone in his seat, waiting quietly.

But Lin Zinuo didn't come back for a long time. The strange gazes that were occasionally cast made Su Mo feel very uncomfortable.

So Su Mo got up and left, heading towards the dessert area.

The dessert area was filled with hundreds of different kinds of desserts, dazzling to the eye, and it could be said to be quite good.

Therefore, it attracted many girls to come here to take some.

Su Mo looked for Lin Zinuo in the crowd, but after turning around, he still didn't see her.

He was also a little puzzled as to where she had gone, so Su Mo circled around the buffet restaurant, and when he turned to the corner, he saw a familiar figure.

He saw Lin Zinuo with her back to Su Mo, answering the phone, seemingly arguing with someone.

"Dad, don't interfere with my affairs, I'm not a child anymore."

"Zinuo, it's not that Dad wants to interfere with you, but it's really inappropriate. I've always respected your opinion, but that Su Mo is really not suitable. You two are not the same kind of people at all, you won't have anything in common. Of course, I'm not saying he's a bad person, but that you two are not suitable in any way. Your dad has been through this, so listen to my advice."

"It's not what you think, don't worry about it."

"I'm your father, how can I not worry?"

"Dad!"

"Besides, how long have you known each other? How much do you know about each other? Don't get cheated. I'm thinking about your happiness for the rest of your life, listen to Dad's advice, and end it quickly."

"Dad, don't say anymore."

Lin Zinuo replied with unusual annoyance.

"What exactly do you like about him? Don't tell me it's because he's good at Star Ring?"

"What I like about him is my own business, don't ask so much."

"Have you been bewitched, are you crazy? Don't look at him now, he seems pretty good, but think about it carefully. He's someone who didn't even graduate from elementary school, his parents are dead, he doesn't have a proper job, and he stays at home all day playing games. To put it bluntly, isn't he just a hoodlum? What are you, a top student, thinking?"

"Don't you dare say that about him, you don't know anything, and you don't understand."

Lin Zinuo shouted, somewhat emotionally out of control.

At this moment, she inadvertently saw Su Mo standing behind her, and hurriedly hung up the phone in a panic.

"Su Mo, what are you doing here?"
