......

As the Xia twins and Emma divided to go to bar , Lila decided to call Lily Mar and Feng Ting to join them. She dialed Lily's number and was surprised when Feng Ting picked up.

"Why did you call?" Feng Ting's husky voice filled the line.

"What do you mean, why did I call? And why are you using Lily's phone?" Lila replied, a hint of annoyance in her tone.

"Lila, Lily is my girlfriend, and I can use her phone whenever I want. Plus, you never answered my question," Feng Ting explained.

Lila's frustration rose. "Ugh, where is Lily?"

"Is that Lila on the phone?" Lily Mar's exhausted voice came through.

"Feng Ting, let her rest so we can have our second round," , sounding a little worn out.

"I think I should let you two have fun. Bye," Lila said, cutting off the call before they could respond. "I guess it's just the four of us then."

Skylar laughed. "Did they feed you with dog food again?" she teased, referring to Lila's playful comment about being a dog in the relationship.

Lila playfully nodded, and they all agreed to head to Highball Express for some fun. Emma was excited about the idea and led the way.

Meanwhile, , Justin Mar received a call from Feng Ting. He was dressed in his checked black and white shirt and black pants, looking handsome as ever.

"You never told me you were going to leave Country M and go to Country B in the first place. I only found out that you are in Canberra," Justin said in a concerned tone.

"I am in Canberra, and I told you before that I informed Kevin about going on a vacation with Lily," Feng Ting explained.

Justin chuckled nonchalantly. "Good thing that I am in Canberra too. I want to meet up with you."

"Okay, where are you now?" Feng Ting asked.

"I'm at Highball Express bar," Justin replied.

"Alright, I am coming with your sister," Feng Ting said, feeling intrigued.

"Whatever, just come over," Justin said before hanging up the call.

Back at the hotel, Feng Ting spoke lovingly to Lily Mar, "Baby, I think you should get dressed because your brother is in Canberra, and he wants us to meet him at Highball Express."

Lily was taken aback by the sudden surprise. "What?!" she exclaimed.

"Just get dressed, and let's go to the bar," Feng Ting urged as he put on his shirt.

Curious, Lily asked, "Which one are you talking about, the freak?"

Feng Ting choked on his words for a moment, "Yes, the freak."

Lily Mar looked a little surprised. "What is he doing in Canberra?"

"I don't know, meerkat. I think that's what we're going to find out," Feng Ting replied with a sense of intrigue.

Lily Mar hugged her brother tightly, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and comfort in his embrace. After all, Justin was not just her brother but also her closest friend and confidant.

"I'm really glad to see you, Justin ge," Lily said, her voice filled with genuine affection.

Justin patted her back affectionately and replied, "I'm glad to see you too, Xiao Lily. It's been too long since we last met. You've been so busy with your modelling carrier that I hardly get to see you these days."

Lily pulled back slightly and playfully scolded him, "Hey, don't blame me for being busy. You know how hard it is to make a runway success."

"I know, I know," Justin said with a chuckle. "I'm proud of you for achieving so much at such a young age. But you should also take some time for yourself, relax, and have fun."

Lily smiled and nodded. "You're right. Tonight is a perfect example of having fun."

"And how are you doing you tov?" Justin glanced at Feng Ting, offering a friendly smile

Justin's expression softened as he looked at Lily. "Well, she means the world to me too, so you better keep that promise."

Lily playfully nudged Justin's arm. "Come on, Justin, give him a chance. Feng Ting is a good guy."

"I can see that, cause his my friend " Justin said, offering a genuine smile to Feng Ting. "Just don't break my sister's heart, or you'll have me to deal with."

Feng Ting's smile widened, and he replied, "I have no intention of ever hurting Lily. She's the most important person in my life."

The sincerity in Feng Ting's words touched Justin, and he nodded approvingly. "Good. As long as you make her happy, we're good."

"I promise she'll be the happiest," Feng Ting assured him.

Her eyes landed on Justin Mar, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity, even though they had never met before.

"Emma, Steve, who is that?" Skylar whispered to her friends, gesturing toward Justin.

Lila followed her gaze and smirked. "That's Justin Mar, Lily's older brother. He's known as the 'freak' in the Mar family."

"Freak? Why?" Skylar asked, intrigued by the nickname.

"He has some peculiar abilities. I heard he can read people's thoughts, see glimpses of the future, and even recall events from past lives," Lila explained, trying to keep her voice low.

Skylar raised an eyebrow in surprise. "That's quite extraordinary. I wonder what he's like."
