three

The noisy chirping of cicadas came in waves from outside the window, mingling with the energetic shouts of the children, as if even the faintest dust was influenced by this lively atmosphere, joyfully dancing in the golden sunlight

Pfft

Ling Zheng's gaming skills can truly be described as "appalling"; even in the simplest human-computer practice, he gets utterly defeated, let alone when compared to professional players of their caliber

Having spoken, he indeed did not delay for even a second, leaving with the assistance of Gu Nan

However, at a critical moment, Ye Xiaoling still thought about maintaining Ling Zheng's dignity. She immediately put away her smile and replied seriously: "I don't know much about this game, but... he should be quite good, right?"

What are they really talking about? Is it really just about Taekwondo?

The melodious and deep voice quickly captured the attention of more than half of the people present, while Ling Zheng, who had already fallen into Yuan Ye's "trap," affirmed with great excitement: "Even if one does not understand it, there will be many unexpected gains during the process of gradual engagement!"

What is going on

Then next ... ...

Yuan Ye, who sat back in the car, seemed to have been reborn, slumping softly in the seat with a sigh, yet a faint bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face

A look of understanding flashed in Yuan Ye's eyes, and his body seemed to relax as well. He nodded in full cooperation and politely said, "Then we shall take our leave first"

By the way! Yuan Ye and Gu Nan are not the most famous members of the game team in "Blood Battle"?

He casually leaned against a corner of the wall, and as he spoke, a gentle and patient light flickered in his light brown eyes. Occasionally, he would slightly press his lips together, as if he were earnestly listening to every word and every sentence spoken by the other person

Such a handsome smile has even impacted Ye Xiaoling, who usually does not pay much attention to men, let alone the dull-witted Ling Zheng

This Yuan Ye ...! ... must be plotting against Ling Zheng!

Upon hearing such a question, Ye Xiaoling could not help but let out a very soft laugh

Although the repeated interactions with this strange girl, Ye Xiaoling, were intended to uncover the identity behind the garbled messages, why...

Ye Xiaoling sat anxiously beside Gu Nan, casually answering his questions while looking for an opportunity to probe into the movements of Yuan Ye and Ling Zheng

Ye Xiaoling instinctively turned her head and found his fingertip resting on the icon of "Blood Battle" on the screen

At this moment, Ye Xiaoling wished she could grow eight keen ears on her body, and she longed to rush to Ling Zheng's side to "eavesdrop" on their mysterious conversation. Even the sounds of Gu Nan occasionally fiddling with the mouse and keyboard seemed to fade into the background, until Gu Nan suddenly voiced a question in confusion and then pointed at the screen, asking with great interest: "Do you play this game too?"

Mingming is an annoying guy who approaches Lingzheng through taekwondo, but why does his smile make me feel that he is not such a detestable person after all

Seeing such a smile, Ye Xiaoling's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by someone!

Recalling the identity she had been carefully concealing, Ye Xiaoling's thoughts were finally pulled back somewhat. She immediately responded with an awkward smile: "I don't really know much either! This game was downloaded by my senior brother."

A major issue has arisen

It was because Ling Zheng saw her completely immersed in the world of Taekwondo that he forcefully brought her into the game "Blood Battle". Even her current account was successfully registered by Ling Zheng himself!

He always feels that she will bring him more unexpected "surprises"

Ye Xiaoling turned her head away, not wanting to see his "deadly" smile any longer, her tone beginning to soften: "It's alright, it's what we should do."

Shouldn't this also be considered as not lying

Ye Xiaoling stood up from the chair, trembling all over, and scrutinized every inch from Yuan Ye's hair to the hem of his clothes.

Hoo.

As they spoke, the two seemed to share a tacit understanding, exchanging a smile that visibly increased their mutual affection at a rapid pace

In that fleeting moment of turning around, he seemed to still clearly feel that Ye Xiaoling's bright and clear gaze was following him from behind, and the wounds on his knee and the corner of his eye inexplicably throbbed again

The bitter smile at the corners of the lips suddenly took on a hint of helplessness

Hey! It is now the time for Senior Brother's class!" She forcefully inserted herself between the two, seemingly casually pushing Ling Zheng far away, "If there is anything else you want to know, feel free to ask me!"

Thinking of this terrifying possibility, Ye Xiaoling gritted her teeth and walked towards Yuan Ye: This despicable guy actually used his knowledge of Taekwondo as an excuse to get close to Ling Zheng? Don't even think about it!

Gu Nan let out a meaningful "oh" and gazed thoughtfully at the game icon for a long time: "Is he very skilled at playing it?" He then jokingly leaned closer to Ye Xiaoling, "How does he compare to us?"

Yuan Ye was taken aback by Ye Xiaoling's sudden action. Recalling the violent behavior of this girl in the past, his expression froze for a second, his lips trembled slightly, yet he still maintained a gentle smile: "I truly apologize for the disturbance."

Ye Xiaoling's gaze was completely unable to shift away from Yuan Ye's smiling face, where his perfectly curved lips slightly curled upwards, resembling the tips of cherry blossom petals, exquisite beyond description. His eyes were focused and gentle as they rested on Ling Zheng's face, occasionally displaying an expression of attentive listening.

After today's encounter, she is almost certain that yesterday's stalking incident was definitely not a coincidence

The affirmation of Ling Zheng is equivalent to the affirmation of their Huayuan Pavilion, Ye Xiaoling nodded in agreement without hesitation, her heart already blooming with joy, but she then heard the laughter of Yuan Ye coming from not far away: "It seems that Taekwondo is indeed an interesting sport!"

On the opposite side, Ling Zheng appeared somewhat uneasy

"Next, we still have things to do, right?" At the opportune moment, Gu Nan leaped up from the computer chair, and in the blink of an eye, he was by Yuan Ye's side. He raised his hand to hook his shoulder and gave a strong glance, "How about taking your sister to see it sometime?"

From a distance, Yuan Ye seems to be slightly taller than Ling Zheng. In comparison, his facial features appear more prominent and three-dimensional. However, amidst the laughter and conversation, he exudes a confidence and pride that Ling Zheng lacks, yet it does not come across as annoying.

This series of changes was fully observed by Gu Nan, and the smile on his face grew deeper as he rhythmically tapped the edge of the keyboard: "It seems he is truly an outstanding person!"
