Chapter 22 　　The sky gradually darkened. 　　The nearby streetlights hadn't lit up yet, making Duan Jiaxu's gaze appear even deeper. He stared at Sang Zhi intently, his lips slightly pursed.

　Before Yin Zhenru could respond, Sang Zhi noticed a few people coming out of a nearby building. 　　They were three girls in vocational school uniforms. 　　The leader had dyed red hair and heavy makeup covered her face, making it hard to discern her original appearance.

Chapter 6 　　Sang Zhi's voice was not loud, and her tone was calm.

Chapter 5: Secretly 　　Sang Zhi actually didn't know how old he was. But hearing him say this, and thinking about Sang Yan's age, she frowned and said unhappily, "You're quite old." 　　"..." 　　You're quite old. 　　Quite old. 　　Old. 　　Although Duan Jiaxu didn't care much about age, upon hearing this statement, he felt as if a...
