Chapter 133 Should we soak in the hot spring together?
If it weren't for Jiang Xiaoxiao, he wouldn't have helped Zhang Hanyu today. It's absolutely unacceptable to be someone else's girlfriend, and it's absolutely unacceptable to deliberately ruin someone else's blind date.
Jiang Shuo felt a pang of guilt. He watched his friend's departing figure with a profound sense of loneliness. If Zhang Hanyu didn't explain things properly, he might develop a psychological aversion to women.
Or rather, does he like lesbians?
It's better to explain, it's just too hurtful.
Jiang Shuo stopped arguing and explained things to Zhang Hanyu, saying they should understand the situation before going to the internet cafe. Zhang Hanyu was also efficient; as soon as her parents sent a message, she explained it to the boy, who seemed to be just going through the motions—he sent a few cute emojis anyway.
Zhang Hanyu also breathed a sigh of relief. She was only sharp-tongued towards Jiang Shuo, but she felt guilty even when it was a stranger. The blind date was now resolved, but her parents would have to keep her from doing anything for a while. They controlled her every day, which made her rebellious.
Zhang Hanyu is that kind of person; the more you demand something of her, the more she thinks it's no good. She's a bit childish.
After they finished, the two started discussing which internet cafe to go to and what games to play. Song Che followed behind and watched. Normally, he would have been involved in the discussion, but since he had to stay with Xia Li, Zhang Hanyu and Jiang Shuo were also sensible and didn't interfere much with Song Che and Xia Li.
Xia Li observed their behavior throughout, while also thinking carefully in her mind. She felt that her thinking ability was now very fast.
She can quickly understand the other person's emotions.
After understanding it, she would try to apply it to the hundred years she had lived with Song Che. Most of the time, she could find similarities: Song Che's emotions, the emotions of these people, and her own emotions recently—in essence, they were all the same.
She suddenly realized that the hundred years she had lived with Song Che—was a very long time!
She had lived with Song Che for so long.
All the emotions and events accumulated over the past hundred years came together and erupted during this period, causing her to grow a hundred times faster than before.
Xia Li suddenly realized that she was really a bit stupid.
In a hundred years, she only made one friend like Song Che. As for the others—Xia Li thought about it for a moment, and realized that it wasn't her fault. Given her personality, only Song Che could put up with her.
Xia Li thought back to how unreasonable she had been back then—she liked to bully Song Che, making him go—go, it seems, to Dragon Valley to steal herbs, causing him to be chased by dragons every time.
Song Che looked at Zhang Hanyu, who was a bit childish and had a "whatever I do" attitude, which reminded him of Xia Li's rebellious phase.
He remembers it very clearly.
Damn it, every time I send him to Dragon Valley to steal dragon eggs, he almost gets raped by a female dragon!
Absolutely!
Song Che remembered it very clearly. He couldn't remember other things, but he remembered this one clearly. In addition to going to dangerous places to steal herbs, he also had to go to Dragon Valley to equip the Shark Arm.
Song Che stored the clothes he had in a locker at the mall, and Jiang Shuo and Zhang Hanyu also put away their gear. The group then went to an internet cafe empty-handed.
Song Che originally wanted to try having Xia Li use Tao Yao's ID card to test the waters, but the image area on her ID card was bitten open, and the built-in coil and chip were definitely broken, so it couldn't be read.
It must be replaced.
To reissue the household registration booklet, you need to provide your fingerprints.
If this thing is used, Xia Li will definitely be exposed.
Song Che felt very troubled every time he thought about this.
He originally thought that with an ID card, a simple switcheroo would easily solve Xia Li's identity problem. However, after studying it last time he went back, he realized that to truly solve the problem, a birth certificate, whether there was a guardian, and DNA testing were needed—these were impossible to obtain. Tao Yao's guardian was generated using illusion magic, which was just a trick to fool people, as she had run away directly from the orphanage. So, the matter became complicated again.
Song Che really wanted to give Xia Li a real identity.
Above it is Xia Li's own name and her own photo.
Ultimately, it comes down to my own lack of ability.
If we were a little smarter, we might be able to come up with a solution.
Song Che followed Zhang Hanyu to the internet cafe and used his ID card to log in to the computer. All four of them were adults, but Xia Li's situation was special, so she logged in to three computers. Song Che watched from the side.
The computers in internet cafes are different from those at home.
This display screen—it's huge.
Frame rate—high!
The air around was fairly fresh, but if you smelled it carefully, you could still detect a trace of smoke. However, most of it smelled like instant noodles. Many people stayed overnight at internet cafes, and if you didn't care about the environment, it was cheaper than staying in a hotel.
The three machines are on the inside.
Xia Li sat on the far side, followed by Zhang Hanyu and Jiang Shuo.
Song Che waited for the password, then opened the game to familiarize Xia Li with the internet cafe screen. Zhang Hanyu, standing nearby, was eager to try it out.
She tortures Jiang Shuo every day, which is no fun at all. When a master comes, they should have a friendly spar.
However, Xia Li was a novice, while Zhang Hanyu was simply having fun and mainly wanted to have some fun.
"Jiang Shuo, let's practice together first."
"Fine, I'll beat you to a pulp this time."
Xia Li watched the two fight one-on-one, and Jiang Shuo, unsurprisingly, wailed repeatedly, "You're fucking cheating."
"Talent, just talent."
"Impossible, I don't believe it."
"You have to believe it whether you want to or not," Zhang Hanyu laughed. "Come on, let's test your reaction speed. Search for 'reaction test' now, take it five times, and take the average. After you're done, you'll know what your strength is."

"Let's test it!" Jiang Shuo was very confident in his reaction speed.
Xia Li also opened that test.
The test is simple: click "test," and the screen will be red when it starts. Click "test" immediately when the red turns green.
Repeat this five times.
After Jiang Shuo finished his test, Xia Li and Zhang Hanyu also took the test.
"How much do you have?" Zhang Hanyu asked.
50ms.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Hanyu turned to look at Jiang Shuo's screen. "Yours is 310ms. If it's really 50ms, you should go play professionally, pull Donk down, and then you can take over."
"What's wrong with 310? Did 310 eat your rice?"
"No, not at all." Zhang Hanyu shook his head. "I'm only about 190ms, just a tiny bit faster than you."
"Pshaw, it's only a hundred milliseconds, what can that do?"
"It's obviously a cloud. We both drew our guns at the same time. I've already fired, and your brain is still processing the bullets. By the time you react, the bullets will be in your face."
"Tch—" Jiang Shuo twitched, speechless.
Because what Zhang Hanyu said makes sense.
"What about Xia Li? How much is she?" Jiang Shuo asked, seeing Xia Li staring blankly. Surely she couldn't be taller than him.
"Xia Li?" Zhang Hanyu leaned closer to look. "Me—"
"My goodness, Xia Li is amazing! 176ms, and the fastest is 150ms. She could easily play professionally."
Jiang Shuo paused, his hand gripping the mouse. "Huh?"
"What? You need to face reality. Talent is talent. Your reaction speed is basically fixed. You can't train it much in your lifetime. And as you get older, your reaction speed will only slow down."
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Shuo didn't want to continue this sad topic. He turned to look at Song Che and said, "Brother, have you booked the hotel? I'll transfer the money to you."
Song Che was still watching Xia Li's screen. He thought to himself that he should also try it. Maybe he would have a chance to become a professional player.
"Brother Che, stop looking at that thing!" Jiang Shuo closed the interface. "Let's go skiing instead. Playing too many games is bad for your health."
"Skiing also depends on reaction speed. You basically have to consider reaction speed in everything you do —" Zhang Hanyu added mercilessly.
"Ah!" Jiang Shuo cried out in despair.
Song Che turned his head and said, "It's booked. There's a hot spring, but it's a hundred yuan more per person. Do you two want this kind?"
"Sure, that's exactly what I'm looking for," Jiang Shuo grinned. "Is it the kind where you bathe with girls?"
"What are you thinking? The hotel is just for our own people."
"Oh, that's no fun."
"No fun?" Zhang Hanyu glanced at him. "Then how fun do you want it to be?"
Jiang Shuo chuckled twice but didn't reply.
But that smile looked rather lewd no matter how you looked at it.
Song Che knows him too well.
When this guy gives that kind of smile, he's definitely not thinking anything good.
"Jiang Shuo—" Zhang Hanyu began, "Are you thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking?"
Jiang Shuo immediately put on a stern face.
No, absolutely not.
"Then what are you laughing at?"
"I—" Jiang Shuo paused, "I just felt that hot springs are more fun when everyone soaks together, and it's more lively when Xiao Mei, who is staying at the hotel—oh no, I mean the guests—is also there."
Zhang Hanyu sneered.
"You want excitement? You want..."
"I didn't!" Jiang Shuo interrupted her. "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense?" Zhang Hanyu pointed to his eyes. "These two eyes of mine have watched you grow up. I can tell what kind of shit you're going to take the moment you bend over."
Jiang Shuo blushed.
"Can't you speak more politely?"
"cannot."
Xia Li, who was listening nearby, suddenly spoke up.
"Jiang Shuo wanted to see the pretty girl; he didn't finish his sentence."
All three of them were stunned.
Xia Li looked at them with a serious expression.
"Isn't that right? Song Che sometimes thinks like that too, wanting to touch my legs."
Zhang Hanyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Song Che's face darkened. "Xia Li, you're still so outspoken, aren't you!"
Jiang Shuo suppressed a laugh.
Xia Li continued, "When I was in Hitler, I also wanted to—"
'
"Alright, alright," Song Che quickly interrupted her, "There's no need to say that."
Xia Li glanced at him.
Why?
"Because—" Song Che thought for a moment, "this topic is not suitable for discussion."
Xia Li tilted her head.
Why isn't it suitable?
Song Che was stumped by the question.
Zhang Hanyu laughed out loud.
"Song Che, your girlfriend is quite interesting."
Song Che glared at her.
"Say less."
Zhang Hanyu smiled even more broadly.
Jiang Shuo seized the opportunity to steer the conversation back on track.
"So, how exactly do you soak in that hot spring?"
Song Che glanced at him.
"How do you want to soak?"
Jiang Shuo thought for a moment.
"I mean—are there any—where the men and women are separated?"
"Yes, as I just mentioned, there are separate soups for men and women."
"No, no," Jiang Shuo waved his hand, "I mean—are there any—things where a man and a woman are together?"
Zhang Hanyu sneered.
"Yes, there are public hot springs, all in one hotel. Resorts usually have hot springs like this, and there are lots of young girls there."
Jiang Shuo's eyes lit up.
"Public? Then is that possible—"
—
"What can I do?" Zhang Hanyu stared at him.
Jiang Shuo swallowed the rest of his sentence.
"Yes—we can all chat together."
Zhang Hanyu stared at him for three seconds.
"Jiang Shuo, the little stuff in your head could be written down in no more than a hundred words."
Jiang Shuo disagreed.
How do you know it's no more than a hundred words?
"Because you only have so much knowledge."
Jiang Shuo wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words.
Xia Li, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Jiang Shuo really does want to flirt with younger girls. I was right earlier."
All three of them were looking at her.
Jiang Shuo's face flushed red.
"I don't!"
"You did," Xia Li said. "Your eyes just rolled."
Jiang Shuo was stunned.
"Your eyes rolled?"
"Hmm." Xia Li nodded. "When you're thinking, your eyes move around. Just now, when you asked about the hot springs, your eyes moved."
Jiang Shuo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Zhang Hanyu was laughing so hard he was slapping the table.
"Hahahaha, Jiang Shuo, you've been seen through!"
Jiang Shuo's face turned even redder.
"I—I was just thinking randomly."
Xia Li looked at him.
"Just thinking about it?"
"Yes, just thinking about it."
Xia Li nodded.
"So what are you thinking about right now?"
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment.
"Now?"
"Um."
Jiang Shuo's mind went blank.
What was he thinking just now?
When asked that question, I completely forgot.
"I—I wasn't thinking anything."
Xia Li looked into his eyes.
"Your eyes are darting around again."
Jiang Shuo was about to cry.
"My eyes are darting around because you're asking me a question!"
Xia Li thought for a moment.
"oh."
She turned back and continued looking at the screen.
Jiang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Hanyu, having laughed enough, wiped away his tears.
"Jiang Shuo, don't even think about lying to Xia Li from now on."
Jiang Shuo glared at her.
I didn't lie.
"You're not lying? Then were you just trying to pick up a girl?"
Jiang Shuo remained silent.
Zhang Hanyu smiled.
"See? I knew it."
Jiang Shuo muttered to himself, "I was just thinking about it; it's not illegal."
"It's not illegal, but it's perverted."
"How is it perverted?" Jiang Shuo protested. "How is it perverted for a man to want to soak in a hot spring with a girl? Isn't that normal?"
Zhang Hanyu looked at him.
"You think this is normal?"
"That's normal."
"So, who do you want to go for a soak with?"
Jiang Shuo opened his mouth.
"I----"
"Tell me, who do you want to be with?"
Jiang Shuo thought for a moment, and several figures flashed through his mind, but he found that he couldn't bring himself to say any of them.
Zhang Hanyu smiled.
"What's wrong? Can't you say it?"
Jiang Shuo blushed and didn't say anything.
Song Che, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Jiang Shuo, do you want to go for a soak with Jiang Xiaoxiao?"
Jiang Shuo was stunned.
Then his face turned red all the way down to his neck. He really liked his sister, and he liked his sister, but it was just a kind of indescribable liking, which would be misunderstood if he said it.
"I don't!"
"Really not?"
"Really, no!" Jiang Shuo cried out anxiously, "That's my sister! My own sister!"
Song Che smiled.
"Just kidding."
Jiang Shuo glared at him.
"You've gone too far."
Song Che smiled even more broadly.
Zhang Hanyu added insult to injury from the sidelines.
"Jiang Shuo, if you want to hook up with your sister, then you are a pervert among perverts."
Jiang Shuo is going crazy.
"I didn't! I really didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xia Li, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up.
"He's telling the truth."
Several people were looking at her.
Xia Li's expression was serious.
"He wasn't thinking about his sister just now."
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, Xia Li is right!"
Zhang Hanyu looked at Xia Li.
How did you know?
Xia Li thought for a moment.
"I could tell," she said. "When his eyes darted around, he wasn't thinking about his sister."
Jiang Shuo was so moved he almost cried.
"Xia Li, you're a good person!"
Xia Li glanced at him.
"But you're thinking about other girls."
