I don’t know when it started, but Hua Lingyao often saw the two of them arguing and fighting, no matter the time or place, neither of them giving in.

That's really strange.

In the past, the three of them almost never argued when they were together.

——

After the two stopped arguing.

As night deepened, Hanabi Haruka began to eagerly anticipate the most important part—the perk.

She approached Lorraine, clasped her hands together, lowered her head slightly, and said shyly, "Um... Brother Lin, it's getting late, and everyone looks so tired. Shouldn't we get some rest?"

Lorraine glanced at the time.

"It is indeed very late."

"As I mentioned before, I brought a lot of pajamas with me! Would you like to take a look, Brother Lin? I don't know which set of pajamas you like the most..."

"Pajamas? They're not for me. Pick one for yourself."

"ah?"

"If you want to rest, then go and rest."

Lorraine seemed preoccupied with other things, so much so that she didn't notice Hua Lingyao's hesitant, slightly dejected expression.

Kaoru Amakawa saw everything and secretly rejoiced.

It seems that even the usually very popular Haruka doesn't get much advantage over Lorraine.

We still have to rely on her.

"Hey Lorraine, you can see from the camp that there's only one tent. Who are you going to sleep next to tonight? You'll probably feel a little embarrassed with the three of us girls together, right? How about this... you can sleep on the far side, and I'll sleep next to you, acting as a partition. As long as you don't have any bad intentions towards me tonight, you can have a peaceful and wonderful night, okay?"

Water Goddess Xiaoye was the first to object.

"What do you mean, sleep next to me? Just let Lorraine sleep in the same sleeping bag as me!"

"What did you say?" Kaoru Amakawa almost thought she was hallucinating.

When did Xiaoye become so bold?

——

However.

Just as everyone was engrossed in arranging their sleeping spots for the night, Lorraine suddenly said to the girls who were arguing, "Oh, you can sleep peacefully. I won't be going into the tent. That tent is specially prepared for the three of you girls."

"What???" x3

"The mountains and forests are not entirely safe at night. I will keep watch, so you should all get some rest."

"Huh???" x3

These words were spoken.

The three girls were stunned. So all their expectations had been dashed?!
