Don't Be a Loser!

At the same time, she was curious about the relationship between Bai Luo and Jiang Nannan.

Could it be that Nannan had quietly won over such a monstrous genius without anyone noticing?

Nannan?

When Bai Luo heard Tang Ya's way of addressing Jiang Nannan, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.

He had originally only intended to stop someone at random and ask them to call Jiang Nannan out from the dormitory building.

But judging by how this girl addressed Jiang Nannan, they seemed to be quite close.

Could she be...

Bai Luo had already vaguely guessed the girl's identity.

After all, he knew that Jiang Nannan's social circle was not particularly wide.

She only had a handful of friends she could truly talk to.

"Are you Nannan's boyfriend?"

Tang Ya stroked her fair chin as she asked.

"Just friends. We've known each other since childhood."

Bai Luo corrected her.

His relationship with Jiang Nannan was indeed very good.

But it had not reached the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Saying that so casually would damage a girl's reputation, wouldn't it?

"Known each other since childhood..."

Tang Ya murmured.

"So you're childhood sweethearts."

"Mm."

Bai Luo nodded.

It would not be wrong to call him and Jiang Nannan childhood sweethearts.

After all, they had known each other for nearly six years.

Before settling down at the clinic, Bai Luo had still traveled all over the continent as a physician.

Yet every New Year, he would return and spend the holiday with Jiang Nannan's family.

Calling them childhood sweethearts was absolutely no exaggeration.

"Please help me call her out. Tell her Bai Luo is looking for her."

"Bai Luo?"

At Bai Luo's words, Tang Ya's beautiful eyes widened.

"You're the Bai Luo Nannan keeps talking about?"

Tang Ya leaned closer, studying him with the curiosity of someone examining something novel.

Bai Luo felt a little awkward beneath her gaze.

He instinctively took a step back.

"If there isn't another Bai Luo, then she's probably talking about me."

"No wonder, no wonder."

"No wonder Nannan can't stop thinking about you."

At that moment, Tang Ya finally understood Jiang Nannan.

No wonder every time Jiang Nannan mentioned Bai Luo, she looked like a young girl newly in love.

So he was a boy with such monstrously handsome looks.

If it were her, she would probably react much the same way as Jiang Nannan.

"No problem. I'll go call Nannan for you."

Tang Ya smiled and patted her chest.

Then she walked briskly into the girls' dormitory.

Watching Tang Ya's back gradually disappear through the dormitory entrance,

Bai Luo shook his head.

After going through such upheaval and still maintaining such a mindset, Tang Ya's strength of character was truly remarkable.

Yet he could sense the gloom that had never fully faded beneath Tang Ya's radiant smile.

That, too, was an illness.

And it was an illness that even a physician as skilled as Bai Luo could not treat.

After all, only the right remedy could heal an illness of the heart.

Tang Ya had merely suppressed her melancholy deep inside.

It would not disappear because of that. It would only continue to accumulate.

Once it reached its limit, it would explode completely like a bomb.

The reason Tang Ya was taken away by members of the Holy Spirit Cult in the original story and became the Blue Silver Saintess was largely because of this.

Perhaps this would also be a good opportunity to gain feedback.

As a member of the original protagonist group, Tang Ya should be able to bring him quite a bit of feedback.

But before Bai Luo could think for long,

a bashful yet excited voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Xiao Luo!"

Jiang Nannan came jogging out of the girls' dormitory.

Not wanting to keep Bai Luo waiting, she had not spent much time dressing up.

She wore only a simple, loose T-shirt paired with jeans.

Her already well-developed curves stretched the T-shirt taut.

The tight jeans perfectly accentuated the exceptional lines of her long legs.

Her golden hair fell behind her back, though it was not disheveled.

The plainest outfit looked uniquely simple and beautiful on Jiang Nannan.

Her fair little face was tinged with a blush.

Whether it was because she had rushed over or for some other reason, no one knew.

"Don't rush so much. It's not like I'm going anywhere."

Bai Luo chuckled, reaching out to gently smooth down the strands of hair Jiang Nannan had not had time to arrange in her haste.

Jiang Nannan's face flushed scarlet.

She muttered softly,

"It's because you hardly ever come looking for me..."

"What?"

Bai Luo had not caught what Jiang Nannan had mumbled.

"Nothing."

Jiang Nannan shook her head with a red face.

That complaint had sounded far too resentful.

She could not let Bai Luo hear it.

Otherwise, she would seem like some neglected wife waiting in a lonely chamber.

She changed the subject.

"By the way, Xiao Luo, why did you come to the academy to see me today?"

"Sister Xiaotao invited me..."

Bai Luo briefly explained how Ma Xiaotao had invited him, only for something to come up because she was one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

"So I happened to stop by and see you, Nannan."

"Just happened to be passing by..."

Jiang Nannan looked at him resentfully.

Couldn't he at least lie to her?

It was not as if she knew what had really happened.

Still, Jiang Nannan was secretly glad Bai Luo had not lied to her.

Such conflicting feelings filled the heart of the young girl newly in love.

It seemed she needed to learn from Sister Xiaotao as well.

Besides feeling resentful over Bai Luo's blockheaded nature, Jiang Nannan also felt a sense of crisis.

She had met Ma Xiaotao at the clinic before.

Back then, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had even caused an embarrassing misunderstanding.

As a girl herself, Jiang Nannan understood Ma Xiaotao's feelings perfectly.

Just like her, Ma Xiaotao had improper designs on Bai Luo.

But Jiang Nannan had not paid much attention to it before.

Because Bai Luo had not shown Ma Xiaotao any interest in that regard.

When it came to closeness,

Ma Xiaotao could not compare to her, his childhood sweetheart.

But now, Ma Xiaotao's initiative made Jiang Nannan see the danger.

She recalled what her mother had told her in private:

Xiao Luo is so outstanding. If you don't make your move soon, other girls might beat you to him.

Compared with herself, who was too shy to make any bold moves,

Ma Xiaotao was far more proactive.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao was not lacking in looks.

Her figure was even more voluptuous than Jiang Nannan's.

After all, the difference between an apple and a pineapple was obvious to the naked eye.

And Ma Xiaotao's status was better than hers as well.

The disciple of Ming Feng Douluo was not someone a girl from an ordinary family like hers could compare to.

In fact, if Bai Luo had not helped her back then, her family might already have fallen apart.

If she had to name a flaw,

Ma Xiaotao's flaw was probably her fiery temper.

But the problem was that Ma Xiaotao was exceptionally gentle in front of Bai Luo.

That flaw naturally ceased to be a problem.

Her only advantage was that she had known him longer.

But was that enough?

Jiang Nannan remembered the saying the girls in her grade often used: childhood sweethearts could not beat a girl who appeared out of nowhere.

No, she refused to become a loser!
