Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

...Miss Ruoli, you know that this is a blatant discrimination against my IQ?

Bai Yu didn't know for a moment whether he should expose her outrageous lie. Chang Yesi was currently investigating what happened in the shadow world, but the students kept it a secret.

"But it's not easy to come back alive." Su Ruoli suddenly changed the subject and began to play the victim pitifully: "I wasted a lot of time and effort to come back alive. I really want to hear you praise me. Please fulfill my wish, okay?"

"You're jumping around too quickly." Bai Yu met those bright eyes and reached out to touch her hair. "Okay, I know it's not easy for you. You're awesome."

"~~~"

She was actually really happy.

It is impossible for a seventeen-year-old girl to be so happy when her hair is touched and she is praised.

Perhaps it was not because of this, but because she must have heard too many words of praise. The focus was not the praise, but the person who praised her.

Too good at it.

You are so good at it.

If you are not careful, you will be controlled by the mind.

Bai Yu looked at her hand. She didn't know when she had gotten used to the intimate contact. Was this the force of habit? Or was she subconsciously being defenseless against her?

After experiencing this explosive start to the time travel, Bai Yu felt that his psychological defenses were a bit too high.

How high is it?

It was as high as Batman seeing a family of three walking into an alley.

People basically have a distrustful attitude towards ordinary people. After all, you don't know when a normal person will suddenly develop abnormally, and a good person may become a bad person. The transformation may be caused by external or internal factors, and the stability is too poor.

To sum it up, it’s still the same old saying - this world is too chaotic.

"Okay, when you're alone with a girl, make sure you look at her carefully. Don't be in a daze." Su Ruoli patted his forehead and said, "Look over here carefully."

"...It's too beautiful not to look at."

"Wow, thank you, you're really good at it... but this isn't a good place to dress up, so I can only give you a 75 today~"

While the two were talking, there was a sound of pounding on the bed in the ward.

"That's enough, that's enough, if you want to show off your affection, go back to your own ward and stop shooting flash bombs at me. My stomach already hurts, and you guys are definitely not going to rush into it like that!"

Tao Rusu covered her lower abdomen, her face pale with pain as she complained loudly: "I'm going to call the nurse!"

Bai Yu walked into the ward and said jokingly, "Aren't you tired of talking through gritted teeth like this?"

"I'm afraid if I don't bite my teeth, I might bite you later."

Bai Yu walked in and put down the kettle and brown sugar: "Hey, I brought you some brown sugar water."

"You are just raw material."

"You don't have any hands or feet yourself?"

"Doing it yourself is still called freeloading?"

"When can you change this bad habit of yours..." Bai Yu could only pour a cup of hot water and add brown sugar.

Tao Rusu immediately tried to reach out, but his claws were knocked off.

Bai Yu said, "It's too hot. Let it cool down for a while. Do you think it's Kung Fu tea? Aren't you afraid of getting esophageal cancer if you drink too much?"

While the two were talking, Su Ruoli also walked in, sat down on the bed naturally, and extended her hand: "Hello, classmate Tao, I've heard of you."

"...Hello, classmate Su." Tao Rusu also extended her hand, and the two shook hands briefly. "I've heard of you, too."

Bai Yu looked around and said, "Are you guys just bragging about your business?"

Su Ruoli then added: "Why did you go to the hospital?"

Tao Rusu looked at Bai Yu and asked curiously, "You didn't tell her?"

"No, we just met." Bai Yu shrugged and said, "And I don't think there's anything worth talking about. You're a good storyteller, aren't you? Tell her one."

"Oh, then I'll be frank." Tao Rusu turned her head to look at Su Ruoli: "He touched my thigh."

Bai Yu: "???"

Tao Rusu asked: "Didn't you touch it?"

"Your legs were about to break, big sister." Bai Yu was unable to contain herself. "Why are you spitting blood all over me? Are your gums bleeding?"

Tao Rusu smiled at Su Ruoli and said, "You understand, the process is that simple."

"I see." Su Ruoli thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled comfortably: "I understand."

"No, what did you understand?" Bai Yu didn't understand. Was there some encrypted communication that he didn't hear just now?

"Wood, you don't have to understand. It's better to say that not understanding makes a good boy." Su Ruoli said, narrowing her eyes and smiling: "If you understand, you will become a scumbag."

"Huh?" Bai Yu didn't understand: "What's wrong with that scumbag?"

"Nature is the root of disasters, so cut it off to cure it permanently." Tao Rusu made a scissors gesture.

Su Ruoli said: "Mu Tou, can you go to my ward to help get some water? And also help me fold the quilt. I also want to eat some sweet sesame cakes..."

This is driving people away.

Bai Yu had a high EQ and understood that the two were talking in private, so he walked out.

Tao Rusu picked up the cooled brown sugar water, took a sip, and a warm current flowed into her abdomen. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just tell me what you want to know."

"What I want to know is..."

The two began to communicate, and after a few minutes, everything that needed to be said was said.

"So you were also involved in the Shadow World disaster? And it's related to us? Technically speaking, you were implicated by us."

"There's no question of being implicated. It's not safe in the first place."

"No wonder Wood feels guilty."

"He also saved me, so I've already repaid him." Tao Rusu held up her cheek. "This guy has a sharp tongue, but he's a responsible man. In that situation, there's no need for him to follow me..."

"Yeah, he is like that." Su Ruoli subconsciously touched his wrist.

"He risked his life to save you, too." Tao Rusu whispered, "You probably don't know yet, but he had nine consecutive memory recollections in the Long Night Division, and even took the initiative to serve as bait to lure the shepherd..."

"I know." Su Ruoli lowered her eyes: "I know everything."

"It's a pity that you have the blood of a heroic spirit." Tao Rusu drank a sip of red sugar water. "And his talent is only white... It will be very difficult in the future."

"I do not care."

"You don't have the final say on this. He's the one bearing the pressure." Tao Rusu paused, then added, "Think of me being mean, but I still want to say a few more words—time is precious. If both parties are destined to pursue something, but their levels are not on the same level, and one party is unwilling to be the help and support of the other, then even if they form a family, they won't be able to maintain long-term happiness. By then, the tragedy won't just be two people; many more people will become victims."

Su Ruoli was silent for a while, then she shook her head and said, "It's too far to talk about this. At least we are still very young now, so it's too early to talk about starting a family and building a career."

"It's a bit early." Tao Rusu nodded: "I envy you a little for having such a childhood sweetheart."

"A lot of people envy me." Su Ruoli said, "I'm used to it."

"Then..." Tao Rusu suddenly asked tentatively, "Can you give it to me?"

The girl raised her eyes, and there was a faint blue halo in her eyes.

Their eyes met, one was silent, the other smiled.

"...I was just kidding." Tao Rusu changed the subject.

Then he added: "Boys of this age are too immature for me."

"Wood is not a toy. It's too rude to say that to him." Su Ruoli stood up and said, "I'm going back to rest. You should rest well too. I hope you can be discharged from the hospital soon... Don't worry, I know you were joking. You are a smart and kind girl. I won't take jokes seriously."

She politely left the room.

Tao Rusu watched the other party close the door. His movements were very gentle, and there was no sign of abnormality in his polite attitude.

After finishing the brown sugar water, she put down the cup and whispered, "Is this the innate heroic spirit... Either a god or a demon... But she's right, a wise man doesn't fall in love. I'd rather be beautiful alone~"

Chapter 58 Counting Harvest

When Bai Yu returned to the hospital with fresh sweet pancakes, Su Ruoli was sitting by the bed enjoying the breeze.

When she saw Bai Yu, she patted her right side gently and said, "Come here."

"I'm not your husky."

"Hahaha, my friend has a husky at home. It's very rebellious. It weighs 100 kilograms but has 90 kilograms of rebellious bones."

Bai Yu sat down and handed over the sesame cake.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Then I'm really welcome."

"That piece is not yours. I have eaten it."

"I know, but I still want to try something... Um, scallion pancake?"

After taking a bite of both pancakes, Su Ruoli handed over the one in her hand: "Do you want to try it?"

"I don't like sweet sesame cakes..." Bai Yu said, "I even only drink diet Coke."

"Drinking Coke without soul is not fun at all."

Su Ruoli took a bite of the pancake, then slowly leaned over, resting her head on his shoulder, looking at the clouds outside the window, feeling the breeze, and squinting her eyes slightly.

"The weather is great……"

She raised her finger and said, "Does that white cloud up there look like me?"

Bai Yu pressed his hands on the bed and leaned back slightly: "You just escaped death, you don't seem to have any mental problems. My worries are a bit unnecessary."

"Of course, Miss Ruoli is a beautiful and kind girl. She's not afraid of any difficulties and always faces them head-on." Su Ruoli laughed. "Although I was a little scared, everything turned out well. It's not easy to come back alive and look at the clouds together."

He felt his hand being held, gently grasped, and their fingers interlocked.

Bai Yu raised his right hand, his eyes puzzled for three seconds, and then asked, "Su Ruoli."

"You suddenly called me by my full name. Is there something important you want to tell me?"

"...Your hands are quite sweaty."

"..."

She puffed up her cheeks, and countless question marks and speechless anger and amusement floated in her beautiful eyes.

"What is the relationship between us?" Bai Yu suddenly asked.

"Of course they're childhood sweethearts."

"Would childhood sweethearts get so close?"

"Yes."

"Holding hands and interlocking fingers?"

"If we're really close, we'll have a fight. We've never had a fight since we were little, right?"

"We've argued." Bai Yu searched his newly acquired memory bank: "You kicked me off the bed when you were five, threw the table tennis racket in my face when you were six, snatched my ice cream when you were eight, and smashed my snowman when you couldn't win a snowball fight when you were nine. And..."

"Waaaaaaaa!" Su Ruoli waved her hands in panic, and said in shame and anger, "You actually remember it so clearly... Was I this annoying when I was a child?"

Bai Yu curled his lips and did not answer.

"Why are you silent now?" Su Ruoli poked her finger: "I must have been quite cute and considerate when I was a child, right?"

Bai Yu touched his chin and said, "So this childhood sweetheart relationship is really strange."

"What's weird?"

"that is……"

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, footsteps were heard behind him, followed by a gentle female voice: "Ruoli, Mom is here. Are you hungry? I made your favorite braised pork trotters... Hmm?"

Shang Ming'e was carrying an insulated box as she walked into the ward. She saw two people sitting by the bed, holding hands, whispering to each other shoulder to shoulder, and they were so close that it seemed as if they were rubbing their ears together.

"Oops~"

Mother Su raised her hand to cover her lips and gave a cute auntie laugh: "Sorry, sorry, I'm bothering you. It seems I came at the wrong time."
