America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 82 What is it like to change attack and defense

"What's wrong?"

Facing three sets of gazes, Seraphina reluctantly loosened her arms and whispered, "Are you Sean's girlfriend? Sean is single, and this kind of question should be decided by him."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls turned their attention and looked at Li Xiaoen again.

"Sean, as long as you agree, we will be a couple."

Seraphina smiled and encouraged him at the right time, "If you like this car, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Feeling the increasingly resentful scrutiny, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. "Thanks for the affirmation, but I don't have any plans to get a girlfriend right now."

After saying this, Li Xiaoen felt the power of the gaze on him weaken, and he sighed helplessly. "Besides, your hands are covered in oil, and you've stained my clothes."

"Ah... sorry, sorry."

Seraphina suddenly understood and gave an apologetic yet bright smile, so carefree that it wasn't clear whether she felt any apology in her heart.

"Sean is driving, it's dangerous for you to do that."

Victoria turned around and looked at Seraphina helplessly. Then she took out a wet wipe from her bag and raised her hand to help wipe Li Xiaoen's clothes. "You don't mind?"

There was something strange in his chest and abdomen. Li Xiaoen shook his head and said, "No."

"Ah That's good."

Victoria nodded, and when she felt one sheet was enough, she took out another sheet from her bag, leaned over and carefully placed it over the oil stain with the obvious palm print.

This was a set of clothes that she had helped to choose and match. Now that it was ruined by Seraphina, she suddenly felt a little resentful.

"Hey, Victoria..."

At this moment, Seraphina in the back seat frowned and asked, "Are you taking this opportunity to touch Sean?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire car suddenly became quiet.

"no!"

Victoria took a deep breath. It was only after Seraphina's words that she finally realized the feeling in her hand. She couldn't help but pull her hand back in fear. "Don't think of me as the same as you, Seraphina."

"I did, I admit it. I felt it just now."

Seraphina snorted softly, and the car suddenly became quiet again.

"I say, do you girls always speak so fiercely?"

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Li Xiaoen complained weakly, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He had already had some psychological expectations about the open and bold character of American girls, but this personal experience made him feel uncomfortable.

The offense and defense are easy to adapt to. The girl is too proactive, and as a man, he feels like a fish on the chopping board.

"Hey... Sean."

It was Sufeier who took the lead, her voice carrying an unknown meaning, "You're so popular with girls, and even make them argue over you. You must feel very proud, right?"

"Ah……"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it. Li Xiaoen scoffed and said slowly, "Don't think I'm so vulgar. I prefer to take the initiative rather than passively accept. You should know the truth. Passively accepting means others choose you, while taking the initiative means you choose others."

Looking at the road ahead, feeling the gazes of the women all turning towards him, Li Xiaoen smiled and glanced sideways at Victoria. "I have always admired Faust's fanatical pursuit of truth and his discerning eye for detail. Therefore, in my opinion, being discerning is essential to achieving perfection."

"Please don't use Faust in your situation."

Victoria couldn't help but stroke her forehead, "If Faust knew that you would use him as an example in this kind of thing, he would definitely regret leaving behind his own literature." "Hey, Victoria. Aren't you being too harsh?" Li Xiaoen couldn't help but retort.

"Trust me, Mr. Sean."

Victoria looked at Li Xiaoen seriously. "You know, with Faust's almost crazy and picky attitude towards truth and perfection, he naturally wouldn't want to see you using him in this way."

"Are human relations and love something shameful?"

Li Xiaoen turned his head to meet those emerald green eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Why can't it be used?"

"Love is the highest form of truth practice, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Victoria smiled. "But you have to know that God loves humanity, but He definitely doesn't love any single individual..."

"Does it matter?"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but wonder, "Victoria, I think you're just making excuses."

"I'm talking about your situation..."

Li Xiaoen and Victoria were talking back and forth. The three girls in the back seat were stunned and couldn't get a word in. They just looked at each other blankly.

The journey was not far, and after a few casual chats, they saw a few crimson houses on the side of the single-lane road ahead. The houses were located outside a large forest, and the parking lot in front of the houses was crowded with people. That was their destination this time - a farm that combines fruit picking, farm tours, picnics, and woods exploration.

It was already nine o'clock. After parking the car and getting out, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but look up at the sky and raised his hands to block his eyes.

It is almost October, and at this time of year, there is still a lot of summer heat in the northern hemisphere of America. The weather is clear and cloudless today, and I wonder how much sweat I will sweat by the end of the whole day's activities.

Li Xiaoen was secretly wondering in his heart when a spray-like object was handed to him.

"what is this?"

Li Xiaoen looked at Victoria and asked.

"Sunscreen spray, do you want to apply it?"

"No thanks."

Li Xiaoen shook his head. As a boy, he was not so keen on whitening. Rather, he was often indoors whether studying or exercising, so he needed more sunlight to avoid being too white and looking unhealthy.

But aren’t all American girls tanned?

A question flashed through Li Xiaoen's mind. He couldn't help but frowned as he watched Victoria and Sufei carefully spraying the spray on their exposed arms and necks.

"Isn't our current skin color beautiful enough?"

Noticing Li Xiaoen's gaze, Victoria rolled her eyes and explained.

"Well, you're beautiful, and you're right."

Li Xiaoen shrugged, undeterred. He actually thought the two girls' skin tones looked better now. After eighteen years of shaping and cultivating their tastes, they undoubtedly knew how to look their most beautiful better than he, an outsider and a boy at that.

Looking sideways, Li Xiaoen discovered that Seraphina and Mary did not use sunscreen spray.

"How's it going, Sean?"

Noticing Li Xiaoen's gaze, Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "Do you like my skin color? Do you want me to lighten or tan? I'll take your word for it."

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiaoen took out his phone, swiped it a few times, and handed it to Seraphina, "I like this skin color."

Seeing Li Xiaoen handing her the phone, Seraphina's face showed a surprised smile. She looked down at the photo on the phone, and her smile suddenly froze.

"Sean!"
