Chapter 421: Giving You a Mission
Today, Xu Haowen was very excited and arrived at Gu Fan’s school with great enthusiasm, seeing Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Jie and others waiting for them for quite some time.
Feeling touched that his friends valued him so much, Xu Haowen dispensed with formalities and greeted each of them with a robust hug, making sure no one was left out.
"Enough already, I understand we haven’t seen each other in a while and I’ve missed you all, but have you got your fill of hugging?" mumbled Gu Fan, who was uncomfortable from all the hugging and finally managed to push Xu Haowen away.
"Sorry, I got a bit carried away with my feelings. Bear with me." said Xu Haowen. His smile revealed anticipation as he asked, "You summoned me here for a special mission, let’s get on with it. Are we going on another adventure?"
Gu Fan, Lu Yi and Jie were speechless after hearing this. After two adventures in the wilderness and Yuxueyun Mountain, everyone just wanted to stay home safe and sound. They simply couldn’t understand Xu Haowen’s fondness for risky endeavors.
Gu Fan patted Xu Haowen on the shoulder and gravely said, "Although this time it’s not an adventure, it’s still a very important task. I hope you’ll take it seriously."
Xu Haowen hesitated before replying, "Are you saying if I don’t take this seriously, you won’t include me in the next adventure?"
Lu Yi became anxious and retorted, "Buddy, that’s not how you negotiate with friends who have been through thick and thin together."
"Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll just do it." Xu Haowen felt a bit embarrassed. He chuckled awkwardly and then mentioned, "You haven’t told me what the task is yet?"
