Chapter 313 [(*^▽^*)]

My head hurts, it really hurts!

Lin Leyou had no idea what was wrong with Jiang Xiali. In short, so far, Jiang Xiali hadn't said anything shocking.

He considered whether to contact Lin Wanyi, but then thought it might be unnecessary.

He didn't need to contact Lin Wanyi about this at all. Besides, wasn't Jiang Xiali afraid that her boyfriend would find out if she said such things to him?

Or is his blatant behavior meant for Lin Wanyi's benefit? Oh wait, no, Jiang Xiali and Lin Wanyi aren't actually dating yet.

Although those who know them can see that Lin Wanyi really likes Jiang Xiali a lot, Jiang Xiali hasn't agreed to be with her yet.

Almost everyone found it strange. They all felt that if someone like Lin Wanyi liked them, they would definitely agree immediately. Everyone thought Jiang Xiali was being too pretentious.

Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "Jiang Xiali, do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Xiali was lost in thought on the other end of the phone when he was startled by Lin Leyou's words, but then he remembered what he had just said.

"Ah! No, no, I meant I wanted to ask you out for dinner. I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Lin Leyou still frowned. He didn't know what Jiang Xiali was thinking, nor did he know what he meant.

Jiang Xiali felt that what he had just said was somewhat unbelievable. Actually, he originally wanted to contact Lin Wanyi, but after thinking about it, he contacted Lin Leyou instead.

That sentence was originally meant for Lin Wanyi, but he didn't think it through and just casually said it to Lin Leyou. What a sin!

His face was extremely embarrassed. No one had spoken on the other end of the phone for a long time. Damn it! Did Lin Leyou think he was going to pursue him?

Jiang Xia swallowed hard. "Don't overthink it. I just spoke too quickly. I'm a little... a little unsure who to talk to about some rather... complicated thoughts. If I talk to Lin Wanyi, he'll definitely agree with me, but I want to have a different perspective."

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Xiali was in such a hurry to explain that she probably didn't have a crush on him or was using him as a shield. That was good.

Lin Leyou: "Okay then, let's meet at Coach Qin's place tomorrow. We can skip the meal; you can come find me when I'm resting."

Jiang Xia sighed, "I...I understand. I'll come find you there tomorrow. Also, please don't overthink it. I didn't mean it that way."

There is no doubt that he likes Lin Wanyi.

Lin Leyou expressed his understanding, "I understand, but I can't say the wrong thing again in the future, after all, I don't want to be hunted down by Lin Wanyi."

Jiang Xiali said, "I know, I know. I've reflected on it, and I will never make the same mistake again."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Leyou didn't think much of it. He was very tired and continued to sleep while hugging his blanket. He fell asleep again in less than two minutes. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiali was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

"Ugh... what am I doing?"

He muttered something to himself and then rested, but whether he could fall asleep was up to him.

After waking up, Lin Leyou ate something and went to Qin Xingyu's place. After some time of observation, he found that his newly acquired passive skill had no impact on his daily life; things remained the same as before.

That makes sense, though. Passive skills double the damage dealt by attacks. If it weren't for attacks, the skill wouldn't be effective.

So if we go to Qin Xingyu now, will he retaliate? If he does retaliate, would this sparring match count as an attack? Maybe... it would.

So, could Qin Xingyu tell whether he had bought physical or physique pills again, or would he guess that he had acquired a new talent?

Why don't we hide for a while? But if we hide, we can't attack. In fact, we can still manage to occasionally strike Qin Xingyu once or twice amidst his current attacks.

If he were to revert to his previous state of only focusing on dodging and having no chance to attack, Qin Xingyu would definitely discover that he had regressed... or discover that he was hiding his true abilities.

This won't work either!

So, you're not going to train with Qin Xingyu? That's even worse! You still have to go; you can't skip training!

But... never mind, Lin Leyou gritted his teeth. Anyway, Qin Xingyu would find out sooner or later. Even if he could keep it a secret for a short time, how long could he keep it a secret?

I can't just never fight back, can I? Otherwise, the training would be meaningless.

Let nature take its course and see if Qin Xingyu can find out. If he doesn't... that's unlikely. If he does find out... then we'll see if he asks.

If he doesn't ask, everyone's happy; but if he does ask, then... of course he'll pretend to be stupid.

If they pretend to be stupid and Qin Xingyu keeps asking questions, then they should be careful about their future interactions, or reduce the number of times they communicate. In the entire infinite world, is Qin Xingyu the only one who can teach them?

Lin Leyou arrived at Qin Xingyu's place, but did not see Jiang Xiali. He suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiali liked to sleep in late.

It's still early, it would be strange if he were here... um?

As soon as I opened the door and stepped inside, I saw a familiar figure sitting there. Who else could it be but Jiang Xiali? Arriving so early?!

He arrived early enough, but in Jiangxia Village…

Jiang Xiali turned around when she heard the voice, "You're here?"

Lin Leyou glanced at Qin Xingyu, who was standing not far away leaning against the door frame. He saw Qin Xingyu silently point a finger at Jiang Xiali, then turn and leave. The meaning was clear: he should resolve this matter quickly.

"Sigh..." Lin Leyou sighed, walked to the vicinity of Jiangxia Lane, pulled up a chair and sat down, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me? What's the matter?"

Jiang Xiali, “I…”

When the moment came, he was conflicted, unsure whether he should speak up or not.

Lin Leyou said, "If you're still hesitating, go back and think it over carefully. Come find me again when you've figured it out. No, we can also contact each other by phone. There's no need to meet in person every time."

In Jiangxia Village, someone said, "Hey! Don't go yet."

Seeing that Lin Leyou was about to leave after speaking, he quickly stopped him, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, I'm just a little embarrassed. I wanted to ask you... about that... that kind of thing..."

Seeing his hesitant manner, Lin Leyou initially felt a little embarrassed, but then he realized what he meant and asked, "Are you going to decide to be with Lin Wanyi and then make it official?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiali's face turned completely red. "I...I didn't...I didn't mean that, I meant, I...I just meant..."

As he hurriedly explained, he saw Lin Leyou's calm expression and suddenly fell silent. Then he whispered, "I...that's what I meant..."

Lin Leyou's lips twitched. "Huh? What did you say?"

Jiang Xiali was speaking so softly just now that he genuinely didn't hear her.

Jiang Xia's face turned red, and she shouted, "I said, I really do want to date him!"

Lin Leyou stared at him in shock, then rubbed his ears. That roar was comparable to a lion's roar. He wondered if anyone else was around.

Then he turned his head and saw Qin Xingyu, who had just left, now standing at the door, leisurely leaning against it and watching the show inside.

Moreover... if he wasn't mistaken, the person whose arm was only visible next to Qin Xingyu, while the rest of his figure was hidden by the wall, should be...

Jiang Xiali was completely unaware that there were two people eavesdropping outside the door. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Jiang Xiali, but then he saw Qin Xingyu outside the door put his finger to his lips, signaling him not to say anything.

Lin Leyou's eyes were filled with condemnation; this was wrong!

Qin Xingyu clasped her hands together and bowed, begging you, just this once!

Lin Leyou still didn't think this was a good thing, but when he thought of the familiar figure next to Qin Xingyu, whose face he couldn't see, he fell silent.

If Jiang Xiali didn't like Lin Wanyi, or if Lin Wanyi didn't like Jiang Xiali, he definitely wouldn't think so much, but now the two of them like each other!

Since that's the case, he'll stop meddling and just pretend he doesn't know.

Lin Leyou, "So...you called me late at night and came here so early this morning just to tell me this?"

Jiang Xiali's face suddenly turned bright red, and her voice became soft again, "I...I'm just a little conflicted, I'm really conflicted...I don't know what to do..."

Lin Leyou: "What else can we do? If you like someone, you like them; if you don't, you don't. Does your family not approve of you being together?"

Jiang Xiali shook her head, "My parents have always been in favor, but I just can't get over that hurdle in my mind."

Lin Leyou, "So, have you crossed that step yet?"

Jiang Xiali, "I don't know..."

Lin Leyou suddenly asked, "Have you seen anything that triggered you recently?"

Jiang Xiali was taken aback for a moment. "Why do you ask that?"

Lin Leyou said, "What's so hard to guess? How long have you and Lin Wanyi been in this situation? I roughly know a little bit about it. How could you suddenly figure it out? In my opinion, you must have seen something that triggered you. Did you see Lin Wanyi having an affair with someone else?"

Jiang Xiali shook her head, "No..."

Lin Leyou: "Did you not see it, or is there nothing going on?"

Jiangxia hesitated.

Lin Leyou immediately understood that she must have been stimulated by some scene she saw, but he knew that Lin Wanyi definitely had no other relationship with that person.

Perhaps it was just that person who took the initiative to throw himself into her arms, and Lin Wanyi had no feelings for him at all. But whether he had no feelings for her or not was another matter.

Lin Leyou: "Huh? Which one?"
