"I didn't..."
"Although my cousin may act without thinking, he listens to me the most. He doesn't like you anyway. If you don't tell the truth, whether you two break up or not is just a matter of a few words from me. Do you want to give it a try?"
Garcia's face darkened, his blue eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked at Lian Han. After a long while, he closed his eyes again. "I know he's betting against someone, and I know he's focused on energy weapons and has no interest in girls. But being born into the Ling family means he has extremely high standards. Since he doesn't like anyone, the girl he chooses to confess to is probably the strongest girl in the class."
"The strongest?" In a class, people are either outstanding or not outstanding.
"You'll find out when you're in second grade; there will be a ranking of abilities in the class."
Lian Han nodded. "So, you're the strongest girl here?"
The girl's face showed disdain, but she quickly hid it. "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have competed with them. It's as simple as playing house."
Lian Han: "...So what are you doing this for? Money? Fame? Or the status of the Ling family?"
As she said this, Garcia's disdain became even more obvious. She was about to make a sarcastic remark, but remembering her boyfriend's sister's identity, she opened the smart device and forced a tactful tone, "Look at this. Miss thinks too highly of the Ling family."
Lian Han saw a black card in her inventory, the same design as the one Ling Wei had given her before. This kind of black card isn't something you can just get with money; it requires certain status and identity.
Even her cold expression softened. "My cousin doesn't like to think things through. He's straightforward and has no experience in dating. Please bear with him, Miss."
“I know him.” Knowing that he had put her on guard, Garcia smiled and became more friendly.
"That would be great." Lian Han's eyes curved into a smile. "However, if my cousin does anything to betray my sister during our relationship, he can tell me. I have plenty of ways to deal with him, and if that doesn't work, there's always my older brother."
Garcia nodded. "Thank you."
"Little sister, come with me. My friends all want to meet you." Ling Ze floated back at this moment.
"Well, I'll go ask Brother Anbo about something, and maybe he can introduce me to someone. Cousin, you should spend time with your girlfriend; I'm a very considerate younger sister."
Ling Ze: ...That's more like heartbreaking.
Lian Han patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, I've already checked it for you, so you can eat it without worry. I'm leaving."
“Miss Lian Han cares about you a lot,” Garcia said as she watched her leave.
“That’s my sister. My sister is the best sister.” Ling Ze said with a proud expression.
"You're right." Garcia looked at Ling Ze with affection in his eyes.
...
"You live by the sea, huh? You're being nosy." Old Xing couldn't help but sigh on the way back to school.
[At the very least, I need to know what kind of person she is. What if she's treating my cousin like a fool, or has ulterior motives? I won't keep someone like that around.]
[Alright.] It seems this girl is really starting to care about her family. That's actually not so bad...
The conversation between the two was just a minor incident. After the rest day ended, Lian Han returned to her normal studies.
Her foundation in mecha technology is too weak. If she doesn't work on it, she'll be finished when courses like mecha synchronization and mecha maintenance start next semester.
The next day after class, before Lian Han could even log off from Tianwang, he was ambushed.
Candles arranged in a heart shape with her name on them, fiery red roses, love songs playing in the background, a cheering crowd—this scene seems familiar.
Anhe nudged Lianhan with his elbow and chuckled, "Oh ho! Little Han, your brother confessed his love here the other day, and today you got confessed to. You truly deserve to be our department's beauty queen."
"Department beauty?" Lian Han felt surprisingly calm, and was even in the mood to care about this title.
"As the senior students gradually left the school, the beauty queen of our Armor Making Department became available. Fortunately, she lived up to expectations, outshone the senior students in the second and third years, and successfully became the new generation's beauty queen."
Lian Han remained silent, then said coolly, "Was it you, or was it Jingyuan who uploaded my photo?"
"Miss Jingyuan is amazing; her high-definition, uncensored enlarged photo was successfully selected," Anhe said with a smile.
Zong Jingyuan, who came out a step behind, heard this and quickly explained, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I edited the photo, but I didn't upload it. If An He hadn't suggested it, I wouldn't have even remembered about the ranking of the Di Luo Department's beauties."
Lian Han: ...I knew these two would love to stir up trouble.
Seeing the growing crowd, Lian Han wanted to leave even more—if An He hadn't pulled her back, she would have been gone by now.
"They're here, they're here." Anhe suddenly pushed Lian Han, separating her from the crowd of onlookers.
The young man opposite her approached gracefully, holding a bouquet of flowers, but his face... Lian Han felt an itch to touch him.
The young man stopped, his expression gentle. "Xiao Han, meeting you is my destiny in this life, falling in love with you is my happiness in this life, and protecting you is my choice in this life. For you, I have no regrets in this life. I like you, let's be together."
Lian Han: ...
If this confession came from any male creature, she would find it more believable, okay?
But some people started to jeer, "Senior, that's not fair! Shouldn't the female students be reserved for the male students?"
"Exactly! That's going too far."
"Am I the only one who thinks the two of them are a good match?"
"What do you mean by 'well-matched'? My goddess is unparalleled in beauty, while this senior is just at the level of a campus heartthrob."
"The key is that the two of them together are so pleasing to the eye. They've practically healed the wounds I suffered in this black and white world!"...
Lian Han was speechless. "Senior Bai, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
That's right, Bai Ze! The person who confessed to her was Bai Ze, the one who schemed against her cousin! The Bai Ze whose arm she broke yesterday!
