The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?
Chapter 261: Goat PenThen smiled.
"Good."
Shen Tian stared.
That was it?
She stepped closer.
Then quietly...
"Just don’t forget me."
His expression softened.
He reached forward.
His hand rested gently on her head.
"Not happening."
Su Yue’s cheeks immediately became pink.
She smiled.
Then leaned into his hand slightly.
Shen Tian noticed.
So did everyone.
Chi Lingxi immediately walked over.
She stood beside Su Yue.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
She said nothing.
Just...
Looked.
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
Placed his other hand on her head.
Chi Lingxi instantly smiled.
Bai Xue stood.
Shen Tian immediately pointed at her.
"No."
She gasped.
"Favoritism!"
"Yes."
"Shameless!"
"Yes."
Ling Shuangxue smiled behind her coffee.
Yin Suyi slowly stood.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Mother."
She stopped.
Then...
Very slowly...
Sat back down.
"...I am exercising restraint."
Shen Tian laughed.
. . .
Later...
Shen Tian entered his private study.
Xu Ning appeared.
A golden system panel opened.
Lu Chen Current Fate Value: 424,000
Major Fate Routes destabilizing:
Gu Qingya
Tang Meilin
Rose
Lin Yue
Black Wolf unity: 81%
Shen Tian looked at the last line.
"Black Wolf unity?"
[Declining.]
"Because of Rose?"
[Partly.]
[Xue Long.]
[Viper.]
[Lu Chen’s behavior.]
[All contributing.]
Another panel appeared.
Upcoming Event
Black Wolf Reunion Dinner
Time: Tomorrow evening
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
"Dinner?"
[Several former Black Wolf members are gathering.]
[Lin Yue.]
[Rose.]
[Ghost.]
[Bear.]
[Lu Chen.]
[Others.]
"Why do I care?"
Xu Ning smiled.
[Because Fate does.]
The system expanded.
Original Destiny Event:
Lu Chen restores Black Wolf’s confidence in him.
Lin Yue forgives awkward reunion.
Rose suppresses doubts and reaffirms loyalty.
Black Wolf pledges support for Lu Chen’s domestic campaign.
Associated Fate Value: 17,000
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
A second notification appeared.
Event variable changed.
Rose has invited Shen Tian.
Silence.
Shen Tian slowly looked toward Xu Ning.
She was already smiling.
"She what?"
[I believe the modern term is...]
"No."
[Plus one.]
"Xu Ning."
She laughed.
Shen Tian’s phone vibrated.
Rose.
Rose: Before you ask, yes, I’m serious.
Another message.
Rose: Black Wolf reunion tomorrow.
Another.
Rose: Come with me.
Pause.
Then...
Rose: I think it’d be funny.
Shen Tian stared.
His lips slowly curled upward.
Xu Ning folded her arms.
[Do not encourage her.]
Shen Tian typed.
Shen Tian: What time?
The response came immediately.
Rose: 😂
Then...
Rose: 7.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Tomorrow at seven."
Xu Ning stared.
[Host.]
"Hm?"
[Lu Chen may actually explode.]
Shen Tian leaned back.
His green eyes gleamed.
"Then Rose was right."
[About?]
He smiled.
"It’ll be funny."
. . .
The following evening...
The Black Wolf reunion was held inside a private restaurant.
Not luxurious.
Not formal.
Exactly the opposite.
Black Wolf had chosen the place because it reminded them of the kinds of small restaurants they’d eaten at overseas between contracts.
Wooden tables.
Private upper floor.
Good food.
Alcohol.
No reporters.
No businessmen.
No family politics.
Just...
Old comrades.
Ghost arrived first.
Bear followed.
Doc.
Falcon.
Several former contractors.
Lin Yue arrived around six forty-five.
Rose walked in at six fifty.
Alone.
Lu Chen noticed immediately.
His shoulders relaxed slightly.
Then...
Rose checked her phone.
He frowned.
Seven o’clock.
Footsteps came from downstairs.
Rose’s expression brightened.
Lu Chen froze.
Then...
Shen Tian walked up the stairs.
The entire room became silent.
Bear slowly lowered his glass.
Ghost covered his face.
Lin Yue blinked.
Then...
A smile appeared.
Rose walked toward Shen Tian.
"You’re on time."
"Obviously."
She looked him over.
Simple black shirt.
Dark trousers.
Nothing flashy.
Still...
Annoyingly handsome.
Rose’s cheeks became slightly warm.
"You clean up well."
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
"So do you."
Rose froze.
She had worn something different tonight.
Not combat clothing.
No body armor.
No tactical boots.
A fitted dark-red dress.
Simple.
Elegant.
Nothing excessive.
Shen Tian’s compliment hit much harder than it should have.
Her cheeks immediately reddened.
"Thanks."
Lu Chen saw.
His hand tightened around his glass.
CRACK.
Ghost looked over.
"Boss."
Lu Chen stared at the fracture.
Then slowly placed the glass down.
Lin Yue stood.
She walked toward Shen Tian.
"You actually came."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Rose invited me."
Lin Yue looked toward Rose.
Then...
Her lips curved.
"Interesting."
Rose immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Don’t."
Lin Yue looked innocent.
"I didn’t say anything."
Then Shen Tian looked toward Lin Yue.
She had also dressed differently.
Black dress.
Hair down.
No surgical scrubs.
No exhaustion.
He paused.
"You look nice."
Lin Yue froze.
Her cheeks turned pink almost instantly.
Rose stared.
Lin Yue cleared her throat.
"Thank you."
She tried sounding casual.
Failed slightly.
Lu Chen watched.
His expression became darker.
Shen Tian looked around.
"So this is Black Wolf."
Bear stood.
Huge.
Broad.
He extended one hand.
"Bear."
Shen Tian took it.
Bear immediately squeezed.
Hard.
Rose saw.
"Bear."
He smiled.
"Just saying hello."
Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.
Bear increased pressure.
Nothing.
His smile slowly faded.
Shen Tian squeezed back.
Bear’s eyes widened.
His arm trembled.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Hello."
Bear stared.
Then...
Burst out laughing.
"I like him!"
Rose laughed too.
Ghost shook his head.
Lu Chen looked increasingly irritated.
Shen Tian released Bear.
Bear flexed his hand.
"Jesus."
Then looked toward Rose.
"You didn’t say he was that strong."
Rose smiled.
"I did."
"No."
"You said..."
She imitated herself.
"’He’s annoyingly strong.’"
Bear nodded.
"That did not cover it."
Shen Tian sat.
Rose immediately took the chair beside him.
Lin Yue sat across.
Lu Chen...
Was supposed to sit beside Rose.
Originally.
He stared at the occupied chair.
Then...
Slowly sat farther down.
His expression said everything.
Rose noticed.
And...
For the first time...
Didn’t feel guilty.
Dinner began.
. . .
At first...
It was good.
Stories.
Old missions.
Embarrassing moments.
Bear told everyone about Lu Chen falling into a goat pen during an extraction.
Lu Chen immediately threatened him.
Rose nearly cried laughing.
Shen Tian looked toward Lu Chen.
"A goat pen?"
Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed.
"Don’t."
Rose leaned toward Shen Tian.
"It was terrible."
"Rose."
"Thirty goats."
"Rose."
"One chased him for almost half a mile."
