Upon looking, Lin Chuan was taken aback—it was a large group of people!

The Five Black Team members—Shen Qianqian, Xia Qingqing, Wang Zikai, and his girlfriend, Xue Qiqi.

“How come you’re here?” Lin Chuan grinned and said, laughing.

Old Wang, always the most casual among them, rushed over and hugged Lin Chuan, laughing as he said, “Old Lin, it’s been a few days, and I’ve been missing you.”

“Go away, go away.”

Lin Chuan quickly pushed Old Wang off, “You’re getting greasier by the day.”

“I asked Xinxin, and you haven’t had breakfast yet, so we bought you a beef noodle,” Shen Qianqian said, handing over the beef noodles she was carrying to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan didn’t stand on ceremony, taking the beef noodles and placing them on the nearby dining table.

He then called out to them, “Since it’s rare for you to come, sit down, sit down.”

“It’s not rare, I’ll come again next time!”

Old Wang said with a shameless chuckle.

The group suddenly burst into laughter, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

“Speaking of which, you came without letting me know.”

Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Shen Qianqian joined the conversation, “It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.”

“Whose idea was it?”

Lin Chuan’s gaze swept across the group as he ‘questioned’ them.

Old Wang and Qiqi both shook their heads, Shen Qianqian waved her hand as well, and finally, Lin Chuan’s gaze landed on Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing had short hair, was wearing a knee-length floral dress, still with short hair, showing off a delicate and fair swan neck, and her tender face full of collagen, bursting with youthful energy.

“Hearing from Qianqian that you’re a sharp shooter, we had wanted to invite you to join us in a real-life gun battle game. Today, being the weekend, we decided to come over and find you,” Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and blinked.

Qianqian and Qiqi both laughed behind their hands, while Old Wang coughed ambiguously, the meaning unclear.

“Feels a bit odd.”

Lin Chuan looked at them and said.

Shen Qianqian smiled brightly and confessed, “Actually, Qingqing wanted to come and ‘mock’ you.”

“Mock me?”

Lin Chuan was taken aback, his eyes unavoidably turning toward Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing frowned slightly at Shen Qianqian, then hurriedly explained, “Lin Chuan, I’m not here to mock you, I came to console you.”

“Console me about what?” Lin Chuan was a bit puzzled.

“To console you for not making it to the finals!” Xia Qingqing said, her mouth pursed, her face showing a bit of ‘sympathy.’

Lin Chuan responded with a wry smile, “That’s some consolation!”

Everyone laughed.

“Old Lin, actually, you should have asked me to help design the weapon. With me on board, we could definitely have made it to the finals!” Old Wang puffed up his chest and volunteered himself.

Lin Chuan argued, “Old Wang, even though I didn’t make it to the finals, Qianqian’s gun had my contribution too.”

As he said this, Lin Chuan looked toward Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian immediately ‘capitulated’, leaning towards Lin Chuan: “I also said that you helped me tinker with this gun, but they didn’t believe it. And I said your rocket launcher is powerful, but they didn’t believe that either.”

“We believe, it’s just a pity you didn’t make it to the finals.” Xia Qingqing said with a smirk.

“Fair-weather friends, all of you!”

Lin Chuan held his forehead in feigned agony.

“Seriously though, did you really not make it to the finals?” At this point, Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan earnestly.

Lin Chuan locked eyes with Qianqian and nodded slightly, “I didn’t receive any notification.”

“Did you receive any other notifications?”

Although Xia Qingqing talked about ‘mocking’ Lin Chuan, in her heart, she still hoped that Lin Chuan could make it to the finals.

Lin Chuan also shook his head, “When I woke up, I hadn’t received any news from the organizers, and then you all came.”

“I see.”

Xia Qingqing pouted, “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t make it to the finals. I will definitely subscribe to your new book, and I’ll even ask my seven aunts and eight grannies to help subscribe to it too.”

This time, Xia Qingqing was genuinely consoling Lin Chuan.

Old Wang also took a seat next to Lin Chuan, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, “Although writing novels isn’t a long-term plan, you must be financially independent by now, right? You’re treating us to the real-life gun battle today.”

“Old Wang, you call this consoling?” Lin Chuan said with a laugh and spat out a remark.

Old Wang was about to offer more comfort.

Suddenly.

The doorbell rang.

“Is it Xinxin coming back?” Shen Qianqian asked.

Lin Chuan shook his head, “It shouldn’t be, she went with Old Zhang for a medical check-up.”

“Then who is it?” Shen Qianqian muttered to herself.

Lin Chuan wasn’t sure who it could be either, and he walked to the door with some doubt, peering out through the peephole.

A lot of people!

But he didn’t recognize any of them!
