Don't Be So Obvious

"Wanyu!"

An Zijin frowned and called out to Jiang Wanyu.

Jiang Wanyu turned her head to look at An Zijin, only to see An Zijin's serious expression.

"You can't say Brother Su Ming like that!"

An Zijin said this with unusual seriousness.

That earnest look actually had an indescribable cuteness to it.

"But it's true!" Jiang Wanyu muttered again, then suddenly hugged An Zijin and said with a giggle, "But, if Zijin says I can't, then I won't say it!"

As she said this, Jiang Wanyu kept rubbing her face against An Zijin's, looking like she was hugging a doll.

Even Yao Beibei wrapped her arms around An Zijin's waist, a hint of blissful smile on her quiet face, as if she were hugging a fluffy pet.

"Didn't we agree not to do this in public?"

An Zijin looked helpless and distressed, sandwiched between Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu, seemingly very uncomfortable.

But Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu turned a deaf ear, continuing to rub against An Zijin happily, hugging An Zijin, making one wonder if they wanted to knead An Zijin into their bodies.

Especially Yao Beibei, whose explosive chest was about to bury An Zijin's entire head.

"Gulp."

In the mission hall, a gulping sound rang out unconsciously, telling others how tempting this scene was.

Su Ming then realized that at some point, the conversations at the other tables had disappeared, and his table had become the focus of the entire hall, silently watched by everyone.

"Cough cough."

Immediately, Su Ming coughed twice, breaking the somewhat out-of-control atmosphere, and forcefully slapped Lei Hao and Ye Bai, who were drooling as they stared blankly beside him, waking up these two beasts.

"Cough cough."

"Cough cough."

Lei Hao and Ye Bai, who had sobered up, also coughed dryly, trying to hide their embarrassment while glaring at their surroundings.

The surrounding people reluctantly withdrew their gazes, allowing the noise to reappear, but the volume was far lower than before, proving that they were still paying attention to the movements on this side at any time.

And Su Ming, in order to break this atmosphere, began to steer the topic back on track.

"Now that things have come to this, I can only confirm with you one more time, Little Zijin." Su Ming looked at An Zijin and asked, "Are you really planning to join our team?"

Hearing this, An Zijin struggled to break free from Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu's control, her face flushed, whether from shyness or embarrassment, but she still answered Su Ming's question.

"Of course I want to join Brother's Su Ming team!"

An Zijin said this with unusual firmness.

This clingy girl-next-door, it seems, is impossible to let Su Ming leave her sight.

Su Ming also knew that An Zijin really wanted to be on his team.

Last night, after receiving An Zijin's call and hearing An Zijin's request, Su Ming felt a little headache, but he did not directly refuse.

Su Ming also knew that An Zijin's presence was too strong, and she herself was too conspicuous. Once she joined his team, he was afraid that he would have to act under the attention of others all the time.

According to Su Ming's style, he would naturally want to refuse such a situation.

But when he thought of this situation, and the possible dangers facing the Huaming District battle, Su Ming felt that he could not refuse An Zijin.

Although this girl-next-door seemed to have grown a little crooked, she was, after all, his childhood friend, a playmate he had been with for several years, and the relationship between his family and the An family had always been very good in the past. He shouldn't push An Zijin away when he knew there was danger.

If there really was an accident, he could take care of her, couldn't he?

Therefore, Su Ming did not refuse An Zijin, but told her to meet here today, have a good talk, and confirm with each other.

And An Zijin seemed to really want to join Su Ming's team, seeing Su Ming fall into contemplation, she immediately said nervously and expectantly.

"Can you let me join your team? Brother Su Ming?"

That eager look really stimulated the girlish hearts of many people.

So, before Su Ming could say anything, Lei Hao and Ye Bai couldn't wait to speak.

"Of course you can join our team, Junior An!"

Lei Hao spoke first.

"Rather, it's our honor!"

Ye Bai was almost crawling over to lick her.

"Really?"

An Zijin's eyes lit up, and her voice couldn't help but carry a hint of excitement.

Lei Hao and Ye Bai immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice, looking overjoyed, and those who didn't know might have thought they had really found some treasure.

Only Su Ming glanced at the two roommates beside An Zijin.

"What about your roommates? Do they really want to join our team too?" Su Ming said very euphemistically, "Our team is not particularly strong in the academy, it can even be said to be a very ordinary team. With the conditions of the junior sisters, they should be able to find a better team."

The implication was to let these two junior sisters find other employment.

Just because I have a reason to take care of An Zijin doesn't mean I have a reason to take care of her two roommates.

Even though these two junior sisters look quite appealing, one fierce enough and the other tall enough, the Young Master Su, who believes women only hinder his development speed, still has no intention of showing any tenderness and cherishing jade.

But they didn't get what Su Ming wanted.

"Since Zijin is joining the senior's team, of course we'll join too!"

Jiang Wanyu stated without hesitation.

"Wherever Little Zijin is, we'll be there."

Yao Beibei also said decisively.

"Huh?" Su Ming was dumbfounded, reflexively asking, "Why?"

That sentence earned him wary looks from Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu.

"There's no why, we just want to be with Little Zijin."

Yao Beibei stated in a quiet but direct voice.

Jiang Wanyu was even more extreme.

"How can we let Zijin join a team full of boys by herself? What if the seniors bully her?"

Jiang Wanyu said in this manner.

"Hey, junior sisters, the way you're saying that makes us sound like scum,"

Lei Hao said, stunned.

"We wouldn't do that kind of thing!"

Ye Bai also became agitated, as if unwilling to leave behind an image of bullying men and dominating women in An Zijin's mind.

Unfortunately, they still weren't believed.

"Who knows?" Jiang Wanyu hugged An Zijin, saying as if protecting her own daughter, "Boys are all beasts in human skin. Our Zijin is so cute, if she's thrown into a den of beasts, something terrible will definitely happen!"

"We just want to follow Little Zijin," Yao Beibei also said, "If the seniors want Little Zijin to join, then we have to join too."

These words left the three big boys speechless on the spot.

The three finally understood just how popular An Zijin was in the academy, and how much she was loved by others.

First, there was the fan club organized by the senior sisters, blocking all the boys and preventing any of them from approaching An Zijin. Now, there were two roommates escorting An Zijin, guarding her against the approach of boys. Who could they reason with?

Su Ming even asked directly.

"You guys aren't members of Little Zijin's fan club, are you?"

Su Ming's words were met with only one answer.

"How did you know?"

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu looked at Su Ming in surprise, answering in unison, looking shocked as if their long-hidden identities had been exposed today.

"."

Su Ming didn't want to talk anymore.

What could he say?

Tell them not to make it so obvious?

"W-What fan club! Can you guys stop doing weird things, okay?"

An Zijin, on the other hand, was blushing, her watery eyes constantly glancing at Su Ming, looking very shy.

"Hehe. o(￣︶￣)o"

What could Su Ming do?

He could only laugh.

At this time, the carefree Lei Hao spoke up.

"We don't object to the joining of the cute junior sisters, but let me state in advance that our team is really nothing special. We'll probably only be able to do some very insignificant tasks. Even so, do the junior sisters think it's okay?"

Lei Hao's reminder was appropriate.

This trip to Huaming District, while somewhat dangerous, wasn't without its benefits.

Since the Base City needed others to contribute, even a group of students, it would naturally do its best to give everyone good rewards as compensation.

Therefore, in this battle, whether it was the professionals or the students, the Base City would issue different rewards based on the difficulty of the tasks they completed and the amount of contribution they made.

Specifically, it would open up the Base City's storage to the professionals and students, allowing the participating professionals and students to choose the treasures they wanted based on their contributions.

Therefore, there was a so-called "contribution value" parameter in this battle.

The higher the difficulty of the completed task, the more contribution value the task completer could obtain.

The more difficult the battle participated in, the greater the assistance provided, the more contribution value would be obtained.

Then, professionals and students could exchange contribution value for corresponding treasures from the Base City.

The existence of this system made professionals and students enthusiastic, and many people were already eager to try, ready to do their best in this battle.

In such circumstances, any student unable to stand alone or fight independently would want to join a good team and earn as many contribution points as possible with reliable companions.

Therefore, An Zijin and her two companions choosing to join Su Ming's team might not be a good choice.

"With your qualifications, you could indeed choose a better team." Even Ye Bai had to admit this, and despite feeling reluctant, he still said, "Junior An and the others should really reconsider."

Unfortunately, the seniors' advice didn't work.

The three junior girls were unusually determined.

To put it simply:

"I don't care! I just want to be with Brother Su Ming!"

An Zijin said a lot, but it could all be summarized in that one sentence.

"We don't care! We just want to be with Little Zijin!"

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu also said a lot, but it could similarly be summarized in that one sentence.

"..."

Su Ming, Lei Hao, and Ye Bai fell silent one after another.

What else could they say?

Accept it, I guess!
