Ji Jiu stared at him for a while, sounding quite unhappy, "Where's my owner?"

Joker raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

His face was painted with oil colors, making it impossible to discern his original appearance. From the deep eye sockets, one could vaguely tell that he wasn't a standard Asian. The clown costume on him carried a hint of discord amid its humor.

Since every time he went to the guild, he just took a mission and left, lingering outside the base as if his life depended on it, this was the first time Joker had seen Ji Jiu.

Ji Jiu's expression was serious, "Si Yin Yuan."

"Him?" Joker suddenly stuck out his tongue, making a funny face.

The audience burst into a roar of laughter.

Joker continued to laugh, "You call him the owner? Is he your boyfriend or something?"

He laughed exaggeratedly, as if he had heard something amusing.

Ji Jiu thought seriously and said, "Yes, I like the owner the most, and the owner also likes me the most." This was explained the first night after the kiss by the owner seriously discussing their relationship, the nature of being lovers.

Now he understood that it wasn't about being kept or keeping; it was about being in a romantic relationship.

His gaze was clear, without any trace of falsehood.

"And such a person knows what 'liking' means?"

Joker burst into laughter, and the surrounding audience also laughed, covering their mouths.

Laughter echoed everywhere, surrounding them and growing sharper.

Ji Jiu didn't know why they were laughing, so he began to walk towards the lower part of the stage.

Joker suddenly stopped his exaggerated act of holding his stomach and stood up straight. His expression shifted from hearty laughter to a poker face in an instant, "Where are you going?"

The surrounding audience echoed, "Where are you going?"

Seeing Ji Jiu ignoring him, Joker instantly appeared in front of him, bent down, and extended a fist in front of him.

Ji Jiu finally raised his eyes, "What's this?"

Bang.

A beautiful and dewy rose appeared in his hand.

Joker laughed, "Little lamb, this is a small gift for you."

His gaze was firmly fixed on Ji Jiu, wanting to see his reaction.

It was a real rose, not fake, and there were even dewdrops on it.

After the apocalypse, roses would shoot distorted thorns at anyone who approached, making it impossible to get close.

Ji Jiu took the rose and sniffed it.

The smile on Joker's face grew larger.

The next moment, Ji Jiu opened his mouth and wolfed down the entire rose.

The surrounding audience remained silent at this moment, with even the sound of breathing disappearing.

Joker, rarely showing a stunned expression, witnessed Ji Jiu licking his lips in confusion, pushed him away, and continued walking under the stage.

Well, this rose had no taste.

It was like eating air.

"Hahaha, you ate it, you actually ate it."
