A duelist never gives up!

"Um, wait a minute..." Xuefeng said, standing up from the bed and walking towards the closet.

"Confession! Push down! Top position!" Whiteboard shouted excitedly.

"Are you... too excited?" Julie said with a strange expression, looking at the petite little girl beside her. "I always feel like you're very interested in SQ-related things."

The blank little face frowned, and the original excited expression was instantly wiped out.

Julie thought she had said something wrong and explained, "Um, sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

"Do you know how many years I have been single?" Baiban said softly.

"How much?" Julie inquired.

"Secret!" Baiban rolled his eyes.

"..."

Then why are you asking me?

"But don't look at me like this. I've actually always longed for it." Bai Ban said, placing his hands on Julie's round, firm thighs. "You're still young, right? Don't you have any desires in that area?"

"No, no." Julie turned her head away stiffly.

"I've told you everything. Are you sure you want to lie to me?" Baiban looked at Julie disappointedly.

Julie gritted her teeth, not understanding why she had to discuss this topic with the whiteboard, but still said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "A little bit."

"Look, there are, right? There are, right?" Baiban punched Julie's thigh hard. "From your age onward, I haven't even used a man's hug for decades! It's normal to have some fantasies, right?"

"Why……"

"Except for certain groups of people, no one likes a 'short whiteboard,'" Whiteboard said sadly.

Julie was silent for a moment and gently hugged the whiteboard.

Bai Ban was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "Thanks. Actually, it's just a way to relieve stress. I'm used to being alone, but I'm not used to being with someone."

"Not getting married?" Julie looked at the whiteboard in surprise.

"Huh? Why do you want to get married?" Baiban looked at Julie calmly. "I still have a few experiments and ideas that I haven't completed. Getting married and having children is too much trouble."

"Is that so..." Julie said softly. She had never thought about not getting married.

Whiteboard is awesome.

"By the way, is it okay for Yuan Qi to hear these words?" Julie asked suddenly.

Headphones, always on.

The pale little face suddenly lost its color, and the originally fair little face became even paler.

"If you tell anyone about me, I will tell Xuefeng and Sera what happened today." Baiban threatened Yuan Qi who was on the other end of the headset.

"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything." Yuan Qi said. He was not so malicious as to spread such things.

At this moment, Xuefeng walked towards Yuan Qi with a tape measure.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Qi asked puzzledly.

"Take off...take off your clothes." Xuefeng blushed and spoke haltingly, while stretching out her white and delicate hands, bending down and starting to unbutton Yuan Qi's coat.

"Huh?" Yuan Qi looked at Xuefeng in shock, but soon Xuefeng's second half of the sentence rang out.

"I want to measure your body size."

Ah, that's it.

Yuan Qi's rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down.

"Just now it hit 78%," Julie said calmly. "Is it true that your heart rate only speeds up when you think about that kind of thing?"

"Of course not." Yuan Qi retorted in a low voice.

It's not like he's inexperienced.

Simple desire couldn't make his heart beat faster.

The reason why his heart was beating so fast was simply because the girl in front of him was Xuefeng.

"Um, don't move." Xuefeng carefully measured Yuan Qi's physical values ​​with a tape measure, but because his technique was too clumsy, the two of them often bumped into each other, and Yuan Qi's heart rate once increased to 80%.

"Phew, done." Xuefeng put away the measuring tape and put it back in its place.

"Why are you measuring this?" Yuan Qi asked puzzledly.

Xuefeng looked at Yuan Qi's thin shirt and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, since I don't have anything else to do every day, I want to try knitting a sweater."

Yuan Qi silently looked at the shy girl in front of him, a smile on his face: "Then I am looking forward to it."

"Well, don't expect too much. This is my first time knitting a sweater, so I might not be very good." Xuefeng said quickly.

"It's okay. Even if it looks ugly, I'll wear it inside."

"It's not that ugly!"

"..."

After chatting for about another twenty minutes, Yuan Qi walked out of Xuefeng's room and returned to Julie's room.

"I was wondering why Xuefeng was staying in the room alone. Turns out she was knitting a sweater." Julie said thoughtfully.

"This is troublesome." Bai Ban looked embarrassed. "I've actually already reserved some autumn clothes for you in the next batch of supplies."

Of course, this also includes sweaters and other things.

"Just don't distribute it to everyone until then," Julie said softly, "even though it might be a little cold."

"If you're hand-knitting a sweater, it'll take at least a week. Besides, it's her first time, so it might take even longer." Bai Ban said, stretching out his arms to hug his petite body, pretending to be cold.

"But it's really nice to have someone knit a sweater for you. I think only mothers would do this kind of thing," said Baiban.

"My sweater was knitted for me by my grandma." Julie said with a slight smile on her lips, as if recalling a childhood scene.

"I say, can you consider my feelings?" Yuan Qi raised his hand.

"Huh? What's your mood? Shouldn't you be feeling like the flowers in spring, swaying with sweetness and happiness?" Baiban poked Yuan Qi's forehead.

"Although I do have that feeling, the problem is still not solved." Yuan Qi scratched his hair and said.

"Xuefeng is quite nice." Baiban said suddenly, "If you miss her, it will be hard to find someone who treats you as well as she does in the future."

"Rather than confirming your feelings, it might be better to choose someone you like or someone who likes you," Whiteboard reminded.

"This one……"

"Keep going," Julie said suddenly, "During your time with Xuefeng, the highest increase was 93%, followed by Sera."

"Do you want to continue?" Baiban raised her eyebrows. In her opinion, Xuefeng was a great candidate, and it was hard to imagine that Yuan Qi would make any other choice.

"Go on." Julie said seriously.

It would be unfair to do this with just one person.

Chapter 69: What are you doing?

"What? You want to chat with me? And in my room?"

Sera was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she heard Yuan Qi's words, she only raised her head slightly, seeming a little surprised.

"You can go to my room." Yuan Qi said. As long as he was alone, anywhere would be fine.

Sera glanced at Yuan Qi suspiciously: "Are you going to talk about something important?"

"This... doesn't count, right?" Yuan Qi thought about it and denied it.

Although he did look for Sera for something very important, the topic itself was probably not important, and might just be some insignificant trivial matters.

"Oh, it's not important..." Sera looked at Yuan Qi carefully, and said with a slight smile, "That's strange."

"What's so strange about that?" Yuan Qi asked in confusion.

"Why do you have to go to the room for something unimportant?" Sera said, crossing her legs and leaning lazily on the sofa. "Did they play some truth or dare game or something like that? Are they trying to play a prank on me?"

"Do you think everyone would exclude you from playing that kind of game?" Yuan Qi said, "I just want to be alone with you for a while."

You wanna be alone with me??!!

Could it be that Yuan Qi has finally awakened to his love for me?!

Before Yuan Qi's heartbeat quickened, Sera blushed first.

"Really?" Sera lowered her head and whispered, "Are you lying to me?"

"What's the benefit of lying to you?" Yuan Qi said.

"Oh, I understand." Sera nodded and stretched out her hands to Yuan Qi.

"What for?" Yuan Qi asked in confusion.

"Hold me." Sera said seriously.

"She used a direct approach right from the start?" Julie asked in surprise. "Isn't that too bold? Didn't she consider how embarrassing it would be to be rejected?"

"Yuan Qi was exposed too quickly. He actually told a woman that he wanted to be alone... This was already a very direct hint." Baiban's mouth curled up slightly. Having said that, Sera actually launched the attack without hesitation. Her judgment of the timing was also quite sharp and decisive.

"I just finished a duel with Beifeng. My foot is injured and I can't walk. Hurry and carry me back to my room." Sera said an obvious lie and urged, "Beifeng is going to the kitchen to find food. Hurry up and she will be back."

So, Yuan Qi no longer hesitated, and bent down to gently pick up Sera's soft body. A faint fragrance like a flower emanated from the girl's body and rushed into Yuan Qi's nostrils, making Yuan Qi subconsciously sniff at the tip of his nose.

"Hehe~" Sera lay on Yuan Qi's arms, looking very happy. "How about it, am I very light?"

"Yeah, it's very light, and feels like paper." Yuan Qi said, subconsciously looking at Sera's cheek. Sera is not only small in size, but her skin is also as white, tender and delicate as a child's, making people unable to resist pinching it.

"Do you feel like you can hold me for a very long time?" Sera said proudly.

"That's the case, but - we've already reached the door of the room." Yuan Qi stopped and said.

"Ah?" Sera's face suddenly dropped. "Are you walking too fast? Or did you use teleportation?"

"The distance is too short." Yuan Qi said. From the living room on the first floor to the room on the second floor, it is only a few dozen meters in total.

"Tsk, damn it! If it's a villa, the distance from the living room to the bedroom must be at least one thousand meters!" Sera said dissatisfiedly.

"Is that the villa where the giant lives?" Yuan Qi curled his lips.

"Forget it, the door is not locked, just carry me into the room." Sera said lightly.

"Okay." Just as Yuan Qi was about to push open the door, a creaking sound was heard in the corridor.

Someone's room door was opened.

It was known that Beifeng was in the kitchen on the first floor, Julie and Baiban were in Julie's room, supporting Yuan Qi, and Honglian was nowhere to be found. So, the only person who was definitely still in her room was—

"Um...what are you doing?" Xuefeng stood at the door of his room, looking at Yuan Qi and Sera with lifeless eyes.

"Oh no, it's over." Baiban made a gloating sound. "That's why I said don't continue. Now it's awkward, right? One moment you were in another girl's room being affectionate, and the next moment you're about to enter with another girl in your arms. Xuefeng must be heartbroken right now, right?"

"No, it won't." Julie shook her head. Knowing Xuefeng and Sera, she knew what would happen next...

"My foot was just injured during the duel training with Beifeng, so I asked Yuan Qi to help carry me back to the room to rest." In response to Xuefeng's question, Sera responded naturally.

"Such words won't convince a woman in love." Bai Ban sneered.

"Eh?! Are you hurt?!" Xuefeng's face suddenly showed a look of worry. "Left or right foot, is it a sprain or a scrape? Is it swollen?"

As he spoke, Xuefeng hurried over and stretched out his hand towards Sera's little feet, as if he wanted to take a look at Sera's wound.

"I think I sprained my ankle, but it shouldn't be swollen, right?" Without waiting for the snowy wind to come over, Sera boldly took off her left shoe and exposed her small foot wrapped in white cotton socks to the air. "It looks like there's nothing wrong with it."

"Well, sometimes internal injuries are more troublesome than external ones." Xuefeng frowned and said, "Do you need ice?"

"No need to go to such trouble. You're the one who's going to cook lunch today, right? If you don't go now, everyone will go hungry." Sera reminded Xuefeng.

"Ah, I'll go right away." Xuefeng said quickly, "Is it really okay?"

"Well, could you please bring me lunch at noon?" Sera chuckled.

"give it to me!"

Xuefeng said as he disappeared into the aisle.

"She...really believed it?" Bai Ban held his forehead with his hand. "She's my love rival. You can't believe a single word she says!"

"Even though they're rivals in love, they're still companions, right? Companions have no reason to lie to each other," Julie said matter-of-factly. "Although Sera is most likely, no, absolutely lying."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Yuan Qi looked at Sera and said, honestly he didn't know what to say just now.
