Not to mention Gao Lin, even Jin Ling, who was standing to the side, was provoked.
Just as she said before, even if Wang Xuefeng was blind, as long as Xiao He was in front of him, his expression would be full of doting affection.
Compared to her previous composure, it was as if she had become a completely different person.
Everyone has a competitive spirit, whether it's voluntary or involuntary, and the larger your social circle, the harder it is to escape it.
The things that can be compared are a wide variety of things, both real and illusory.
Although men and women have different focuses, it's all the same old stuff.
For example, "happiness".
Xiao He's eyes darted around, and he was quite perceptive.
As if to confirm his thoughts, he even turned his head and gave Gao Lin a sweet smile.
"And who is this...?" Gao Lin couldn't help but turn to Jia Bo.
Even with this question, she had to ask him instead of introducing herself.
His expression was completely natural, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Caught off guard, Jia Bo had no choice but to explain when she asked him that question.
"This girl's name is Xiao He, and she's a... melee priest. The boy next to her is Wang Xuefeng, a skilled marksman known as the God of Guns in Flying Dragon City. The two are a famous couple in the city and legendary figures at Cloud Academy. You'll find out more in time."
"Oh, so it's Sister Xiao." Gao Lin nodded to Xiao He and returned the greeting with a smile: "Heroes have always emerged from among the young. I really want to admire the prowess of the Gun God."
Xiao He blinked: "Have you ever seen a melee priest?"
"Melee... Priest?" Gao Lin was stunned. He had clearly not paid attention to Jia Bo's introduction of him, but he remembered Wang Xuefeng's features.
"Yes, a melee priest," Xiao He confirmed.
"I've never seen it before," Gao Lin said with an apologetic smile.
"Then next time, remember to pay your respects to me too! I'm not bad, I can go toe-to-toe with him."
After Xiao He finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and patted Wang Xuefeng's chest with a hearty gesture.
"Uh, okay," Gao Lin replied politely.
"Cough cough cough, don't move..." A hint of embarrassment flashed in Wang Xuefeng's eyes.
"Hmm?" Xiao He turned to look at him.
"Sigh..." Wang Xuefeng let out a sigh that only he could understand.
Xiao He remembered that expression he always had when he said "Don't move".
Although this body is very light due to buoyancy, it is not weightless, not to mention the position of lying in his arms.
He suffers terribly from even the slightest movement.
"Didn't you rescue me?" Xiao He didn't care about him.
"..." Wang Xuefeng looked bitter.
Seeing Gao Lin preparing to go into the water, as if she were at home, Jin Ling really couldn't stay any longer.
"The smell of these herbs is too strong; I can't stand it. I'm going to change my clothes."
"Hey—" Jia Bo wanted to go with them, but he was too embarrassed to go in when he saw the door to the women's changing room.
Xiao He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
[Xiao He: Aren't you going to teach me? Where's your epic textbook?]
[Wang Xuefeng: This initial talent is too low...]
[Xiao He: It's exhausting just watching. Go and give us a hand, so we can finish this quickly and get it over with.]
[Wang Xuefeng: This is wishful thinking. Will this really solve anything? It's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.]
[Xiao He: You're teaching him to treat the root cause?]
[Wang Xuefeng: His emotional intelligence is too low; he's just not perceptive.]
[Xiao He: What should we do then?]
Wang Xuefeng: I suggest breaking up.
[Xiao He: ? ? ? ? ? ]
Gao Lin withdrew her gaze from behind Jia Bo and instead focused on the two people who were intimately embracing.
"Your relationship is so good, it's truly enviable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He turned his head slightly and saw Gao Lin sitting leisurely to the side. The hammock was raised almost above the water, leaving most of her body exposed to the air, as if she did not want to soak in the hot spring, but simply wanted to sit and rest for a while.
"Envious? Are you single?" Xiao He asked bluntly.
Gao Lin smiled and said, "It wasn't like that before."
Upon hearing this, even Wang Xuefeng was somewhat forced to admit defeat.
First, she uses "in the past" to avoid mentioning "now," and then she reminds people that her ex-boyfriend is there. Polite people would usually not ask any further questions after hearing this answer, so as not to hurt their feelings by bringing up something they don't want to talk about.
However, Xiao He seemed to be acting rather impolitely.
"And now?"
Gao Lin sighed softly, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow, and for a long time she simply shook her head.
Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a perfect example of "shaking one's head and sighing".
Whether it's because of sadness that they don't want to answer, or whether it implies "not now," is entirely up to the listener to interpret.
Of course, most people, judging from her expression at that moment, would probably assume it was the former.
Wang Xuefeng: This woman has a problem.
[Xiao He: What's the problem?]
[Wang Xuefeng: She had an ulterior motive, her target was Jia Bo, but not to get back together with him.]
[Xiao He: That's...?]
[Wang Xuefeng: It's hard to say, I'm not sure yet, but he's definitely not someone to be trifled with. Find a chance to remind Jinling not to get involved.]
[Xiao He: ? Why am I the one going?]
[Wang Xuefeng: You're her "best friend," so should I go?]
[Xiao He: Go ahead.]
[Wang Xuefeng: ...]
Gao Lin noticed that Xiao He always spoke intermittently, often finishing one sentence and then stopping there. She just silently nestled against Wang Xuefeng's chest, looking at him as if she could never get enough of him.
The latter remained silent for a long time, leisurely resting his head on the hammock pillow, with both hands lightly placed on Xiao He's back, as if afraid that he might move and fall off.
Although the room was eerily quiet, the atmosphere between the two was incredibly natural, as if they were completely isolated from their surroundings.
