At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

But the gameplay and the so-called "unyielding dignity" and "superior status" are just superficial statements.

If I really get serious, I can open up and have fun with my juniors.

After all, even the noblest saint may secretly yearn for the feeling of being defiled, right?

"So you guys have already pushed the progress to this point. I didn't realize you could write, junior."

"what…"

Su Che remained noncommittal, saying, "It's just to supplement the family income."

"Xiao Xiao is always hard to find. Is she secretly asking you to meet her at the coffee shop or library to write?" Yu tide saw through her.

"This one……"

"Yes! We are a study group! Healthy, positive, and motivated!"

Lin Xiao directly confessed, "And the senior is a flirt, she lured Su Che to your house, and always tried to rub her thighs against him. So the senior is unhealthy and negative."

"."

Yu tide was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Since things had come to this point, the real solution was to further understand her junior's lifestyle and thoroughly investigate his hidden skills.

I've fallen behind Xiaoxiao in progress. If I don't regroup and plan a new route soon, it will be too late.

"I admit you have some skills, but if you think you can defeat me with just that, you're underestimating me."

Her expression remained calm:

"Junior is now affiliated with 'Seven Colors' and is a teammate of all of us. Therefore, he is also a public property of all of us, and no one can cross the line or take it for granted."

You revealed another skill of his today, which I found very helpful. This shows you have a willingness to share, and I'm sure you'll continue to do so in the future.

"In that case, I will take your views today as a transmission of intelligence. I will not pursue your rudeness, but this is a one-time exception."

After Yu tide finished speaking, she got up and left the spring pool, heading straight for the shower room on the other side. She didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

Lin Xiao won a game and felt it was somewhat miraculous.

After all, the fact that the senior student didn't refute her shows what?

Has she given up?

Could it be that she's raising the white flag and surrendering?!

Doesn't her leaving alone mean she's temporarily giving me some space to be alone?

[I can be alone with Su Che, and she retreated under my advances! Haha, as expected, one should be bold and forge ahead, right? Being direct is definitely the right thing to do, isn't it?]

Lin Xiao was overjoyed.

But regarding whether Yu tide has truly admitted defeat...

She can't say for sure yet.

I felt pretty sure it was going to be a sure thing, pretty much.

Little did they know, this was Yu tide's "way to quit fishing."

The effect is to deliberately feign weakness when the enemy reveals their hand, in order to lure out more of their cards and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Yu tide has always taken a strong stance, and even within the team, she holds the second most influence after Su Che.

Now, her concession gave Lin Xiao the illusion that she was better than her senior.

This is a very dangerous judgment.

If it continues to expand, it will lead to utter ruin.

Su Che sensed something was wrong and immediately lowered his voice to lecture Lin Xiao:

"Xiaoxiao, you've gone a bit too far this time."

"is it?"

Lin Xiao blinked, not thinking that she had expressed herself in any way inappropriately.

"If you keep letting go of someone you like, you'll end up crying in a corner."

Su Che, I admit that I may not be the one you like the most, but I can assure you that you are absolutely the only one I like the most.

In this situation, if I were to push you back to your senior, wouldn't that be incredibly weak of me?

"..."

Hearing this, Su Che felt conflicted.

Xiao Xiao is very good at direct attacks, and she seems to be very clear that her feelings for her are not as strong as those for An Qing and the others.

Despite these circumstances, she still chose to confront her senior directly without asking for any feedback.

Such sharpness, concealed by restraint, impressed Su Che, who nodded in admiration.

I will take your feelings seriously.

He said.

How cautious?

"Um……"

Lin Xiao chuckled mischievously, "Would you have ignored my confession before? But now you're willing to listen to it?"

"No way..."

Su Che shifted his gaze.

Undeniably, I first saw Xiao Xiao at Tianlai Livehouse.

Back then, she was like a secretary, running errands for Yu tide, completely unnoticed.

If she handed me a small note that day with a confession of love written on it, I would probably read it within 3 seconds and throw it in the trash.

The second time I saw Xiaoxiao was in front of the school's billboard.

She came to read out her senior's decree and warned herself not to disobey her senior's wishes, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

At the time, my impression of her was just that she was a girl who "looked nice in faded black stockings," and I didn't have any other thoughts about her.

Now, times have changed, and things are no longer the same.

Xiao Xiao has become arrogant and overbearing, even trying to defy the heavens.

With each direct message, she seemed to be endlessly repeating one thing through her actions—I like you, I want to be with you, and it's okay if you don't.

Such feelings, such a constant drive to "pursue repeatedly," are almost extinct in today's society.

Sure enough, she said:

"Hehe, no need to argue, I understand. Today I'll take a small step forward, tomorrow I'll take ten big steps forward, the day after tomorrow I'll lock you up, and the day after that we'll be one, taking materials from each other!"

Taking things one step at a time, with slow and steady positive feedback, is also a way to enjoy relationships. I can totally wait!

It's clear that she has high hopes for the future.

"Ok."

Su Che was swayed by her.

With a blank expression, he reached out and removed the fishing net she had hidden at the bottom of the water. He stood up and said, "I've had enough soaking. I'm going to go soak in the cool pool inside. Xiaoxiao, let's gather materials together next time we go to the library."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's previously hopeless and anxious expression froze slightly.

Wait, he specifically emphasized the source material...

Could it be...?

"Really? Su Che?"

She watched his retreating figure and asked, "This time, you really didn't need me to invite you 20 times before you came out; instead, you took the initiative to invite me?"

"Ah."

Su Che paused at the door: "From now on, you can come out after you invite me once."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao could no longer hide her overwhelming joy.

A damp, sinister laugh echoed from the outer hot spring pool:

"Hehehehehehe..."

-

……

Outside.

The four figures were locked in a 2v2 battle in the indoor spring pool, locked in combat.

A heated debate could be heard—

"Senior, why are you allowed to live in A-Che's house as someone from another team! And be on equal footing with that An Qing!"

"...It wasn't me who lived there; he took me in."

"Isn't that the same thing? Even my sister and I don't get this kind of treatment! Why are you the one who succeeded!"

And An Qing, why didn't you stop her? Before, you were worried about a goddess spying on you, but now you've changed your mind!

"..."

An Qing hesitated, thinking to herself: I really want to stop it, but only if I have the ability to do so...

At this moment, she was protecting the kitten, and they were on the same side.

Gu Zhi stayed by her younger sister's side, fulfilling the responsibility of an older sister—watching her sister provoke her.

"By the way, what goddess?"

Gu Zhi suddenly interjected, "How come I didn't know about this?"

"Hmph, sister, I didn't have a chance to tell you. Because I thought An Qing was a good cat, but now she's in cahoots with the senior student, sleeping with one on each side, completely taking up the spots we might have. So I have to tell you today."

Yuan Xiao puffed out her cheeks, feeling extremely bothered by Miya's presence:
