"You're just going to talk to me like that? Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback by his words, then opened the door and invited Yin Hao in.
Yin Hao didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the sofa to sit down.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing also sat down on the sofa opposite Yin Hao.
"Zhuqing, you're not feeling well today. I have experience in healing injuries, so you don't need to lie and say your injuries have relapsed..."
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly; she did intend to say that.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, Yin Hao continued,
"We've been together for a month now, haven't we? We could be considered friends, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. This time, she didn't hesitate. From saving her, healing her injuries, to healing together in the wilderness, to exploring Soto City together, they were definitely friends, even her only two friends in her entire life.
"Alright, we didn't actually know each other a month ago. I don't know anything about your past, family, or anything about you. If you don't mind, I think I can be a good confidant."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was still hesitant, Yin Hao continued to persuade her… cough cough… continue to coax her.
"Some things are like wine; if you keep them inside, they'll only ferment more. Speaking them out might have unexpected effects."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Yin Hao, nodded, and said.
"Brother Hao, can I ask you a few questions?"
Yin Hao nodded.
"Of course, we're friends, and aren't friends meant to confide in each other?"
A smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's frosty face, like a fleeting, yet exceptionally beautiful, epiphyllum blooming in the snow.
"If... I mean if... you had an enemy, someone older than you, who started cultivating earlier, and stronger than you, someone so far away you couldn't even see her, but you were destined to fight to the death in a few years, and the price of losing was death... would you choose to fight with all your might or flee to another place?"
Yin Hao pretended to ponder for a moment, thinking about how to steer her away.
"If you don't give it your all, who wants to be a loser? Even if you lose, at least you can be true to yourself..."
"But losing means death, while fleeing incognito might allow you to survive, or even... live a good life..."
When she said the last few words, Zhu Zhuqing's tone clearly turned somber, undoubtedly thinking of Dai Mubai.
Yin Hao, as if oblivious to her unease, stood up and said,
"I'd rather die fighting than live a life of dishonor!"
After saying this, Yin Hao felt as if he had undergone a spiritual transformation. Come on... quickly carve my current appearance into a statue for future generations to admire.
*Ahem... I digress.* Back to the main point. Although he probably couldn't do it himself, that didn't stop Yin Hao from spouting nonsense.
"Better to die fighting than live a life of dishonor..."
Zhu Zhuqing parted her lips slightly, silently repeating Yin Hao's words.
Then, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Yin Hao.
"Then... what if there are two of you, and your companion runs away?"
"Companion?"
Yin Hao looked at Zhu Zhuqing seriously.
"Zhuqing, remember this: when you're teetering on the edge of life and death, a traitor! Is always more despicable than an enemy!"
"A traitor...more despicable than an enemy..."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly smiled. From the time he met her in the forest until now, Yin Hao had never seen her smile so brightly.
She stood up, walked to Yin Hao, and gently pressed her lips to his. Although it was only for a moment, it shocked Yin Hao... "
Did I... lose control of my strength... and ruin another one?
" "Thank you, Brother Hao."
After giving Yin Hao a light kiss, Zhu Zhuqing released him.
Even after Yin Hao left, he was still somewhat dazed. "Damn it, I messed up... another one ruined..."
Yin Hao's original plan was simply to make Zhu Zhuqing understand this principle and then distance herself from Dai Mubai, allowing him to take advantage of the situation.
However... judging from this... she seems to understand the principle... but why does she seem to be turning evil?
Yin Hao shook his head. "Forget it, whatever happens, happens."
He returned to his room and used his spare key to open the door.
Inside, Xiao Wu was already asleep, sprawled out on the bed, completely unrefined, with half a half-eaten premium crystal radish beside her.
She was spread out in a "big" shape on the bed, a trace of glistening on her lips, muttering to herself, seemingly lost in a dream.
"Crystal Radish…"
Yin Hao sighed helplessly. After twelve years of struggle in Douluo Continent, two of the three beauties of Shrek Academy had probably been ruined by him, leaving only Ning Rongrong, whom he had never met, who was still somewhat normal.
Yin Hao gently straightened Xiao Wu's body. Hmm… long and white…
then he held Xiao Wu and let her sleep peacefully.
…
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing stood by the window, the cold moonlight shining on her exquisite profile, adding a touch of wickedness to her charm.
"Traitor… hehe…"
…
The next morning, Xiao Wu woke up first, feeling the familiar pillow. She had slept exceptionally well the night before.
A voice came from beside Xiao Wu's ear.
"Aren't you going to let go?"
But Xiao Wu seemed not to hear him, even moving her long legs closer to Yin Hao.
"No, no... it's most comfortable when Brother Hao hugs me..."
"Xiao Wu... if you keep acting like this, I can't guarantee I won't do anything to you..."
Hearing Yin Hao's "threatening" words, Xiao Wu wasn't scared at all, and instead hugged him even tighter.
"What does Brother Hao want to do to me? I'm so curious..."
This little rascal, but Yin Hao didn't hold back, wrapping his arms around Xiao Wu's waist and pressing her down.
Even so, Xiao Wu didn't panic, but instead pretended to be pitiful.
"What is Brother Hao going to do? I'm a little scared..."
Actually, Yin Hao and Xiao Wu's feelings for each other had long been there, but he hadn't touched her before because she was too young, but now... there was no need to worry about that...
But just then, a knock came from outside the door.
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao? Are you there? We should go find the academy, or we might not be able to get in line."
Hearing this voice, Yin Hao finally let go of Xiao Wu and called out to the door.
"Okay..."
Then he turned around and gently kissed Xiao Wu on the cheek.
"I'll let you off this time, but if you provoke me again, I'll really eat you alive..."
"Hmm..."
After saying that, Yin Hao turned around to put on his clothes, but he didn't notice that after he turned away, Xiao Wu's face showed a deep look of disappointment.
