When Qin Bai pulled Ling Xiangxue out of the water, surprisingly, her face only had a slight blush, and she showed no signs of discomfort.
"You can swim?"
"Yeah, I learned it when I was a kid."
Qin Bai looked on with envy: "That's amazing! I can't swim. Could you teach me sometime?"
"Okay, okay, we can do it today."
"There seems to be a large swimming pool up ahead. Let's go take a look in a bit."
Ling Xiangxue's shyness faded considerably. Having finally found something to teach Qin Bai, she became very enthusiastic.
"No problem, I'll take care of swimming. I'll definitely teach you."
Qin Bai reached out and hugged her: "Tell me if you're cold, and we'll go inside."
Ling Xiangxue rested her head on his shoulder and shook her head.
"I won't feel cold with you here."
The sudden sweet talk left Qin Bai slightly stunned. He hadn't expected this shy little thing to say something so tactful.
She looked at the distant snow and said, "Winter used to feel very, very cold, but not anymore."
Qin Bai hugged her tighter: "There's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Why didn't you tell me how you've been all these years when you first met me? Was it because I was too cold to you?"
"No." Ling Xiangxue tilted her head and looked at him gently: "You always had that expression on your face when we were in school, and I thought it was normal."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you're already very tired."
"Why do you say that? Did you already know something all along?"
Ling Xiangxue's gaze suddenly became somewhat evasive: "N-no."
"Who told you that?"
"Really, no."
"A classmate from Jinshan City?"
"no."
"Yeah, that makes sense. I don't think I've kept in touch with those people from high school. So... you've been keeping an eye on me?"
The resolute voice left Ling Xiangxue with no choice but to continue denying it.
"Hehe, so you've had your eye on me all along."
Qin Bai's voice was full of teasing.
"Yes, I've liked you for a long time. I liked you the night you saved me, or even earlier."
Qin Bai looked at her in surprise.
A flicker of emotion crossed Ling Xiangxue's eyes. Some words, buried deep inside for too long, were like compressed springs, their rebound force immense.
"You may not know this, but when I was following behind you, I would pray that the road could be longer."
"That way, I can stay with you for a while longer."
"You know what? My personality has been greatly influenced by you."
Qin Bai asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
Ling Xiangxue smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Because you are a very gentle person."
A hint of surprise crept into Qin Bai's eyes.
He suddenly felt...
This gentle little thing in front of me is a true master of romance.
A few simple words can evoke what is buried deep in a person's heart.
"I've always been rude to you, how could you say I'm gentle?"
A few slender fingers were placed on his heart: "Because I know what you're thinking. Pretense can't hide a person's true feelings."
"Just like the way you treat me now, so I guess I won my bet."
Qin Bai asked with a smile, "But if you don't win the bet, are you going to wait forever?"
“Yes.” Ling Xiangxue said without hesitation, “My biggest wish in this life is... to marry no one but you.”
All right.
Qin Bai admitted that he had already suffered a complete defeat.
I was thinking of teasing this gentle little thing.
result.
I felt a strange sense of being touched by her.
He hugged Ling Xiangxue tightly.
Upon touching those cold lips, Qin Bai responded to her tenderness in the most primal way.
"Excuses, all you're making up are excuses..."
The ringing of the phone at that moment annoyed Qin Bai.
Ling Xiangxue quickly nudged him: "Business is important. Haven't you been waiting for a call?"
"Ha! They better be in trouble." Qin Bai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Just as Ling Xiangxue was about to get up, he pulled her back into his arms, and the two were once again in close contact.
"Hello, strategist, this is Su Shiyin."
Qin Bai looked somewhat surprised.
This Su Shiyin is the junior sister who was made to suffer terribly by Gu Zichen.
He just contacted that sect a couple of days ago, how come he's here so soon?
This sect is quite interesting. I wonder who named them; it sounds like a bunch of protagonists.
Still not believing it, Qin Bai asked Gu Zichen for the names of his other fellow disciples.
Then.
He believed it.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell who the main DPS was.
"Sister-in-law, where are you?"
Upon hearing this address, Su Shiyin blushed and covered the microphone with her hand.
The corners of her mouth were turned up so high she couldn't suppress them.
She was still very grateful to the strategist; if it weren't for him, she might have been tormented by that junior brother for who knows how long.
Since meeting Qin Bai, Gu Zichen has finally started to speak more sensibly, and their conversations have gradually gotten back on track.
They were mutually attracted to each other, and their relationship gradually became established.
So, after Qin Bai called her, she immediately flew over with her entourage.
