Han Lingxi still retained her good manners from years of upbringing, and her loss of composure was only momentary before she returned to normal. However, Lu Haoran knew very well that Han Lingxi still cared about the matter Tong Lan had mentioned. Although she couldn't show it on the surface, she must have been very upset inside. Seeing Han Lingxi like this, Lu Haoran couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted with Tong Lan.
Seeing Han Lingxi forcing a smile, Lu Haoran felt a pang of heartache. In a moment of impulse, he reached under the table and took Han Lingxi's hand.
Han Lingxi was startled and quickly lowered her head without struggling. Lu Haoran also felt his face burning. He didn't expect that he could actually do such a thing. However, thinking that Han Lingxi had tacitly approved of his behavior, he was overjoyed. Feeling the soft touch in his hand, Lu Haoran felt that this was all he could ask for in life. If he could hold her in his hand for a lifetime, he would be willing to do anything.
"Ding! Affection +10, Total Affection 90."
Sitting across the table, Tong Mengzhi was furious. She cursed Han Lingxi for being shameless countless times in her heart, but she didn't even consider what right Han Lingxi had to interfere in other people's affairs.
Han Lingxi and Lu Haoran only stayed at Tong Mengzhi's house for one day before leaving. The reason was, of course, that Han Lingxi was going to train in a dangerous place and could not stay there for too long. Tong Lan did not try to persuade them to stay. She felt that Lu Haoran was too difficult to recruit, and although he had great potential, he was still very weak at present. It would be better to let Tong Mengzhi find someone stronger, which would avoid a lot of uncertainty.
Tong Mengzhi did not agree to Tong Lan's suggestion, but instead followed Lu Haoran unwillingly into the Netherworld Cold Swamp with them.
Han Lingxi didn't venture deep into the swamp; she only stayed on the periphery. There was no danger. Of course, she came here to date Lu Haoran, not to fight monsters to the death. So, the two of them spent a very sweet month together, while Tong Mengzhi, the third wheel who was always by their side, was probably going to die of thirst.
Time flew by and the start of the new school year was approaching. The three of them headed to Luoshan Academy. When they arrived at a place not far from Luoshan Academy, they unexpectedly ran into Han Lingxi's senior, Hang Kaifeng.
"Junior sister, what a coincidence, you're going to the academy too?"
Hang Kaifeng greeted Han Lingxi, but his expression was somewhat unnatural. Lu Haoran, having realized his own feelings and confirmed his relationship with Han Lingxi, could finally express his hostility and dissatisfaction by looking at Hang Kaifeng with sharp eyes.
"yes."
Han Lingxi had just uttered the word "yes" when she was startled by something that suddenly jumped out of Hang Kaifeng's bundle. She stared in disbelief as the fox that jumped out transformed into a young girl before she could finish uttering the last word, "ah."
"You're the one Hang Kaifeng likes, but you don't look that great."
The fox-turned-girl looked Han Lingxi up and down several times before coming to this conclusion.
"Hey, how can you talk like that?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Haoran and Hang Kaifeng's voices rang out at the same time. Lu Haoran couldn't stand hearing others say bad things about Han Lingxi, while Hang Kaifeng was afraid that the girl would cause trouble again.
"Who are you?"
Han Lingxi wasn't too concerned about how she was evaluated; instead, she was very curious about who this fox was.
"I am Fengmiao, the nine-tailed fox."
Feng Miao spoke frankly, and then, to Hang Kaifeng's astonishment, said the next sentence.
