"The three of us play together almost every day. When did you make your new friend, Wanwan?" Jiang Ya looked at Qin Wan with feigned anticipation.

To show that she and Qin Wan had a good relationship, Jiang Ya even took Qin Wan's arm and rubbed against her affectionately.

"We just met yesterday," Qin Wan said without hiding anything.

"You two just met yesterday, and you're already getting along so well?" Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of annoyance in each other's eyes.

They hadn't been watching Qin Wan for just one day, and yet others had already found an opportunity to take advantage of her.

"Boy or girl?" Xie Zijue asked curiously.

"As for boys," Qin Wan said, glancing at Jiang Ya beside her. "One girl like Jiang Ya is enough; too many will easily cause trouble."

"After all, girls are thoughtful, sensitive, and prone to scheming and jealousy..."

Every time Qin Wan said a word, Jiang Ya's expression grew increasingly unpleasant, while Xie Zijue looked embarrassed.

"Wanwan, aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?"

Whether to ease Jiang Ya's embarrassment or for his own selfish reasons, Xie Zijue tentatively asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at him in surprise and asked curiously, "What are you jealous of?"

"We're not related, just friends. Why are you jealous for no reason?"

"Besides, let's not even talk about how I just found a male friend. Even if I found a boyfriend, it's none of your business, okay? Not only do you have no reason to be jealous, but even if you are, what does it have to do with me?"

...

...

...

After Qin Wan finished speaking, the air seemed to fall into an eerie silence for a few seconds.

Xie Zijue's face turned pale and then flushed, looking extremely unpleasant.

Jiang Ya's mood and expression had improved considerably, and she was looking at Xie Zijue with sympathy in her eyes.

“Wanwan, Xie Zijue didn’t mean it that way, you’ve misunderstood him…”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ya decided to speak up to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Mainly, she also hoped that Xie Zijue could win over Qin Wan and completely tie her down.

In this way, they no longer need to worry about others taking advantage of loopholes to get close to Qin Wan and steal the benefits that originally belonged to them.

Moreover, although Qin Wan has been complaining about being short of money these past two days, the equipment in her game account alone is worth hundreds of thousands.

If Xie Zijue could be with her... the benefits he would gain are unimaginable.

Thinking this, Jiang Ya gave Xie Zijue a look, signaling him to say something quickly.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"I... I've always considered you my very best friend. That's why I felt a little uneasy when I heard you had other friends, afraid that I was no longer important to you..."

It must be said that Xie Zijue's patience is much stronger than Jiang Ya's.

Just when Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue thought Qin Wan would take the opportunity they had given her, Qin Wan's answer made the surrounding air freeze again, plunging into a deathly silence.

"that……"

Are you misunderstanding something?

"I don't think I've given you any false impressions, have I?"

"To me, you're just an ordinary gaming friend."

"Really, we're just game friends."

"You have never been important to me."

"So, you really don't need to be jealous or bothered, because you and Lu Huai are really no match for each other."

As she said this, Qin Wan glanced at the phone that had just been answered in her hand out of the corner of her eye. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue's expressions turned extremely grim.

The two men's eyes held a hint of embarrassment and anger, yet for some reason, they dared not vent it.

Just then, Qin Wan pretended to notice that the call had been answered.

"Lu Huai?"

"Where are you?"

"Here's the thing, a friend of mine is planning to treat us to dinner, and I was wondering if you're free and if you'd like to come over."

"Okay, I'll send you my location on WeChat."

"It's a good opportunity for you to come over, meet them, have dinner, and get to know them. That way, when we do the dungeon together tonight, we'll be more familiar with each other and our teamwork will be smoother."

After ending her call with Lu Huai, Qin Wan looked at Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue with a cheerful expression, seemingly oblivious to their strange expressions and demeanor.

"Let's go, let's set off quickly. Lu Huai will be here soon. Let's order the food first, so he can eat right away when he arrives without wasting any time waiting."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue's expressions seemed to darken even further.

"Qin Wan, from what you're saying, you've only known Lu Huai for a few days, right? Why are you being so nice to him?" Jiang Ya asked tentatively.

"The length of time is not important. What's important is that Lu Huai is reliable, honest, and kind."

Qin Wan seemed to have no guile whatsoever; she answered whatever Jiang Ya asked.

As the conversation deepened, Qin Wan explained the reasons behind some topics without Jiang Ya even having to ask.

"You don't know, although Lu Huai is poor, he is a really good person and he would never take advantage of others."

Jiang Ya: "..."

Xie Zijue: "..."

It was implied.

"Moreover, you don't know that he had a high fever in the early hours of the morning, but he still insisted on helping me finish the dungeon."

"Tell me, how could I not be moved by a man who would risk his life to play games with me? How could I not treat him well?"

I'd risk my life to play games with her...

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue's brows twitched and their eyelids twitched violently.

"Wanwan, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"In my opinion, it's simply that the boy doesn't know how to take care of himself."

"Who would have a high fever and still be busy playing video games instead of going to the hospital?"

"I think that guy just likes playing video games and doesn't care about his health, yet he has the nerve to pretend he's risking his life to play with you. What a hypocrite!!!"

It has to be said that Jiang Ya is really quick-witted and intelligent, much smarter than Xie Zijue.

"Yeah?"

"Now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense." Qin Wan nodded in feigned agreement.

"When Lu Huai arrives, I'll ask him if he's really that hypocritical."

Jiang Ya: "???"

What the heck?

Who would ask such a question to someone's face?

Is Qin Wan mentally ill?

"No, Wanwan, you shouldn't ask that..."

Asking such a question is offensive; the other person might misunderstand.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, Lu Huai has a very good and well-behaved personality. He won't misunderstand or get angry."

Even if Lu Huai is angry, he's not angry at her, so what does it have to do with her?

Moreover, her original intention was to make Lu Huai hate and resent them.

Then every day, he would try every possible way to sow discord between Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue in front of her, targeting the two of them in various ways.

At that time, all she needs to do is be a brainless, incompetent ruler who favors his concubine.

As she thought about it, Qin Wan's lips curled up into a bright and radiant smile.

Ah, the weather is so nice today...

The sun shines brightly, birds sing and flowers bloom...
