"I understand."
Gu Jianlin said, "Thank you."
Cheng Youyu waved his hand. "Don't be so polite. I get it—because of... that reason, most of the people in the team ostracize you. Don't take it to heart. Many people in the association have lost their minds. Last time you saved my life, I remember it clearly. No matter what happens during this mission, Xiangsi, Brother Cheng, and I will definitely help you!"
Beside the bus, Zhang Cheng said with a grim face, "Can you stop calling me Brother Cheng?"
Nie Xiangsi smiled a little awkwardly. "Uh... we, we will protect you."
Gu Jianlin glanced at the three of them and nodded slightly. "Thank you."
A moment later, Chen Chen completed the hand-off and made a gesture, signaling everyone to go upstairs to their rooms to rest.
"Something feels off here. I think we should form an alliance."
"That's right. There's strength in numbers, and we can look out for each other."
"Is there anyone else who wants to join?"
