"I am blind, I can't see."

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Gao Lin reluctantly withdrew her hand, but something still felt off.

Jinling, who had just changed her clothes and returned, happened to see this scene, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What caused Gao Lin, who was originally full of confidence and as steady as Mount Tai, to show such a frustrated and bewildered expression?

He had imagined a thousand "instant kill" scenarios, all of which he rejected, but Wang Xuefeng easily defeated him, while Xiao He just watched the show from the sidelines.

“That’s true, two against one, there’s no reason to lose.” Jinling shook her head helplessly.

Seeing that Jia Bo and Jin Ling seemed to have made up before returning, Gao Lin felt even more annoyed: Since today was unlucky, she'd just have to wait until next time...

"Excuse me, I just remembered I have some urgent business at the company, so I have to go now. Let's reschedule for another day," Gao Lin said to Jia Bo with a smile as she stepped onto the wooden ladder ashore.

"Okay. Aunt Chen, please see the guest out." Jia Bo seemed to have learned to maintain a sense of distance.

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Gao Lin's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This little girl from the Zhu family isn't so easy to deal with," but on the surface, she didn't show any weakness.

"No need to trouble Aunt Chen, it's not like I don't know the way."

Gao Lin tucked a strand of damp hair behind her ear and waved gently, "Then, goodbye."

Jia Bo simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Only after the footsteps completely disappeared did Xiao He sit up as if he had discovered a new continent: "No way? How did you suddenly become so enlightened?"

His sudden movement caused Wang Xuefeng to silently bite his already clenched fist.

Aside from Xiao He, no one noticed his despair. Jia Bo also looked utterly hopeless: "I've never been her match..."

Jin Ling rolled her eyes: "I can tell."

“Well… she’s gone now…” Jia Bo hinted weakly.

"But I'm not in the mood anymore. I'd better go home first. You don't need to take me this time." Jinling really couldn't muster any energy and just wanted to go home and get some sleep.

"Ahem!" Wang Xuefeng suddenly coughed. "How about Xiao He accompanies you for a stroll outside?"

"Oh? Is that okay?" Jinling asked, somewhat delighted.

"Yes, yes! Absolutely!" Wang Xuefeng nodded vigorously, as if chasing away a plague god.

Xiao He glanced at him with a half-smile: "Trying to flirt with me, but unable to resist?"

Jia Bo and Jin Ling blushed and looked away at the same time, but their eyes met again and then turned away at the same time.

Wang Xuefeng was speechless and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Xiao He pursed his lips, lightly touched the rope with his toes, and nimbly landed on the edge of the pool.

"Wait for me, just one minute." With that, she waved her hand behind Jinling's back and walked towards the changing room without looking back.

The latter was taken aback.

What speed? One minute is enough?

The local natives, of course, cannot understand what "one-click system outfit change" means, nor do they understand Xiao He's "drawing a knife to cut the silk" hair combing method.

In less than a minute, Xiao He, dressed in a clean school uniform, with his hands in his pockets and his long, flowing blond hair, leisurely walked up to the dumbfounded Jin Ling.

“You?” Jinling pointed at him, speechless.

"Let's go. We won't go far. Jia Bo's yard is quite nice. Shall we take a walk in the back garden of the villa?" Xiao He grinned.

“Hmm…” Jinling nodded blankly.

-

"Sigh, if only you were a man."

Jinling was kicking pebbles in the garden when she opened her mouth, which startled Xiao He.

"What do you mean?" the latter asked, feigning composure.

"I don't know..."

Jinling looked at him somewhat blankly: "Well, sometimes, I think you... are actually quite handsome?"

"Cough cough cough—" A hint of evasion flashed in Xiao He's eyes.

"What do you think of me?" Jinling asked earnestly.

"Uh, it's fine."

"Where is it good?"

"This is... a pretty normal girl, right?"

"Normal? Then what would be abnormal?" Jinling asked, puzzled.

Xiao He scratched his nose, and hummed a little embarrassedly, "I, I'm... not quite normal..."

"No way!" Jinling corrected him seriously, "I really like girls like you! You say what you mean, you don't hold grudges, you don't have any complicated thoughts, you're simple and sunny, aren't you great!"

"..."

"Really, I'm so glad to be your friend!" Jinling said sincerely.

If I didn't know that Xiao He didn't like being hugged, I would have pounced on him right now.

However, the latter's eyes became unusually lost, and there was even a trace of barely perceptible sorrow.

"I……"

Jinling was curious when she saw him slowly open his mouth but then not hear anything more for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I really?"

Xiao He met her eyes: "Do I really look like a girl?"

Jinling was puzzled: "What's wrong with it?"

"Does it look similar in any way?"

“Uh…” Jinling hesitated.

After all, she had never suspected anything, and she couldn't come up with a reason for it in a short time.

Finally, her eyes lit up: "You and Xuefeng are a couple! And the kind everyone envies!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He was even more confused: "Because I'm his girlfriend, does that mean I'm like a girl?"

“Uh…” Jinling hesitated again.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that apart from when she was with Wang Xuefeng, Xiao He was more like a... tomboy?!

But even a tomboy is still a girl!

Could it be that she was referring to her own personality, which isn't like a typical girl's?

But what does it matter? Everyone has a different personality anyway...
