"Not bad, Kehan."
She closed her eyes, as if she were murmuring something.
Jiang Kehan remained motionless, cold sweat slowly dripping down her forehead.
The pain never goes away.
Damn it, everyone who studies cult classics is a lunatic. Ouch... Jiang Kehan was on the verge of tears.
But the applause that followed made her smile.
Despite the pain, she looked towards her private room, as if she could see Li Hui and Ai Li'er watching her from inside.
"I won." She didn't make a sound, but her moving lips clearly conveyed her smugness to the two of them.
Subsequently, under the effect of the barrier, Jiang Kehan disappeared from the trial field and appeared in front of the host.
The host patted her shoulder hard. If Minghui hadn't already removed Jiang Kehan's pain, she would have definitely slapped the host.
"It was a fantastic performance, beyond our expectations! Jiang Kehan is the winner this time!"
The host raised Jiang Kehan's hand and announced the final result.
Jiang Kehan, from this moment on, shines brightly and declares her existence to the world!
P.S.: The soft and sweet author is dead; the next one is an even softer and sweeter author.
Happy Lantern Festival everyone!
Chapter 170 QQ You
Under the bright sunlight and the gentle breeze, Jiang Kehan felt a little short of breath. She stared at the applause below for her and was momentarily lost in thought.
So this is what victory feels like?
So, all my efforts weren't wasted after all?
She couldn't help but clench her hands, letting her nails dig slightly into her palms, feeling the intense contraction and expansion of her blood vessels, expressing the excitement emanating from her heart.
So... I've already come to take this victory for granted?
Surprisingly, Jiang Kehan didn't feel much joy about defeating An Meng; she just felt that she should enjoy this glory.
She slowly lowered the hand that the host had raised, placing it gracefully in front of her, and then nodded down with a smile.
Without needing to say anything more, Jiang Kehan had already proven herself. After the applause gradually subsided, she bowed slightly before heading to the private room.
However, the smile on her face gradually became smug, even somewhat unethical.
There's no way around it; returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes in the dark. How could I not show off to my sisters after winning so beautifully!
Especially Ai Li'er, after Jiang Kehan's magic power exceeded 400 points, she tried her best to avoid fighting with Jiang Kehan. Even in daily practice, she would never fight, and only exchange skills.
Jiang Kehan knew exactly what she was thinking, and spat out a soft "pui" in her heart.
Knowing you're going to lose, you're not going to play? There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Hmph, this time I'll make you admit it yourself, Ariel.
She grinned mischievously, somewhat eager to see Ariel.
In front of acquaintances, Jiang Kehan can sometimes be arrogant and unreasonable, acting like she's being coquettish.
But as she prepared to push open the door and enter the private room, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the door with some suspicion.
"Hey, I know you're hiding behind the door. Don't even think about striking first, Ariel!"
Jiang Kehan put her hands on her hips and tentatively opened her mouth.
Having already done so and successfully embracing Li Hui, she shamelessly used herself as a benchmark, guessing that Ai Li'er might have had a "pre-arranged" plan all along!
Moreover, Ariel's morals are practically nonexistent, so no amount of caution is too much.
As for whether Li Hui will suddenly hug him?
Not to mention that the other party would never do such a thing, Jiang Kehan swallowed hard, her eyes shining slightly.
She meant that if Li Hui really did hug her, then she shouldn't blame her for taking advantage of the situation!
It wasn't that Ai Li'er's tofu wasn't tasty, it's just that she had eaten quite a lot of it while playing around on weekdays, but Li Hui wouldn't play along with their nonsense, so he never gave the two of them a chance to get some tofu.
"Hehe," Jiang Kehan whistled.
"So don't even think about ambushing me. I'll be merciful and allow you to be replaced by Li Hui to ambush me!"
After saying that, she pushed open the door with a hint of anticipation and cautiously looked inside.
Aili'er's forehead was covered in black lines, and her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at Jiang Kehan. Her expression spoke volumes: "Pah, Kehan, what happened to our sisterly bond?!"
"At least let me hug Li Hui! Otherwise, I'll just grab your legs and start licking them!"
Although neither of them spoke, they understood each other's thoughts through their eyes.
"Uh, I think you're better at that when it comes to the lower part."
Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier, who was licking the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but look away, feeling a little guilty.
Oh no, she was too smug and forgot that she had already been shocked by Ariel's remarks before even meeting her in person.
In terms of the lower body, Jiang Kehan couldn't defeat him no matter how hard she tried.
"You two..." Li Hui looked at the two making faces at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.
She walked up to Jiang Kehan and looked at her intently.
"But congratulations anyway, Kehan, congratulations on your first memorable victory."
Li Hui's expression relaxed, and she even showed a rare hint of shyness. Under Jiang Kehan's incredulous gaze, she turned her head away, then took a step forward and gently hugged Jiang Kehan.
"So, I'll grant your wish this time."
For a moment, Jiang Kehan wondered if she was still asleep, and that tomorrow might be the day of the school team selection.
Let alone taking advantage of the situation, she hadn't even realized what was happening when Li Hui withdrew his hand, leaving only a faint fragrance and warmth.
Was I being hugged by Li Hui?
Or was it the other party who took the initiative?
People who buy lottery tickets are often stunned when they actually win, because they know how low the odds of winning are, and it's just a way to comfort themselves.
But when this "comfort" that only existed in fantasy and idle talk actually arrived in reality, Jiang Kehan was not as excited as she had imagined.
She placed her hand on the spot where Li Hui had just hugged her, feeling the lingering warmth, and felt as if something was quietly poking at her heart.
It was heartwarming, yet anything but ordinary, making her anxiously look around, trying to confirm that it was just an accident.
Jiang Kehan opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she could only manage a smile, awkwardly concealing her embarrassment, and nodded vigorously.
"Mmm!" She managed to squeeze out a sound through her nose, but then she saw Li Hui turn her head away and look at her profile. Her jet-black hair cascaded down, obscuring the color of her hair, but you could still see a faint blush through the gaps in her hair.
Jiang Kehan felt like her nose was about to bleed; it was just too cute!
Cheating... She swallowed hard, trying to look away, and for some unknown reason, lunged at Aier, who was making no attempt to hide her envy and jealousy.
"What are you laughing at!" Jiang Kehan buried her head in Ai Li'er's chest like an ostrich encountering a sandstorm.
“I think Kehan is so lame~” Ai Li’er took the opportunity to lie back, and the two rolled around on the sofa.
"I wonder who was so arrogant at the door just now, saying they'd have Li Hui ambush you for me. Well, now look what's happened! They've launched a blatant frontal attack, not even a sneak attack, and you've shown your true colors with your empty boasts~"
"At least I can handle you without any problem!" Jiang Kehan let out a mournful cry, stretching out her wicked little hand and reaching towards Ai Li'er's armpit.
"No!" Aili'er was unexpectedly ticklish. Ever since Jiang Kehan discovered this "weakness," she had been teasing him much less often.
But this time it's not her fault. Who told Jiang Kehan to be so innocent, like a little witch who's only twelve years old?
"How does it feel?" Ariel suppressed a laugh, breathing heavily with some discomfort, but still managed to tease Jiang Kehan.
"Actually, it's probably quite good..." Jiang Kehan's voice was very soft and her tone was somewhat gentle. As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Li Hui.
Li Hui was covering her face when, as if noticing Jiang Kehan's gaze, she smiled and nodded at her.
Jiang Kehan's face was as red and hot as a steam train filled with coal.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Didn't I win beautifully this time?" Jiang Kehan said smugly, rubbing Ai Li'er's armpit.
Her loose hair fell to Ariel's lips, making her feel a little itchy.
"Well, congratulations." Ariel stopped joking and stared seriously at Jiang Kehan. "It seems that I'm the one who's dragging you down now. I'm a little unwilling to admit it, sigh."
Jiang Kehan, you caught me completely off guard. I don't even know how I got "bewitched" by you. I'm still a little resentful.
I was the one who took the initiative to become your friend, but now I'm the one who's a little lost.
But don't underestimate me!
Aili'er didn't stay serious for long. Taking advantage of Jiang Kehan's pause to speak, she flipped over and pinned Jiang Kehan down, then reached down and clawed at her armpits.
"It's my turn to deduct from your plate this time!"
"do not want!"
The two were playfully fighting, their laughter filling the air, which helped Li Hui recover quite a bit. She looked at them with a mixture of relief and bewilderment in her eyes.
Chapter 171 Star Adornment
With a soft laugh, Li Hui stopped dwelling on those trivial matters and turned to speak gently to the two of them.
"You guys play first, I have to go down and have a match with Nuoxi. Hmm, I can pay more attention to her performance and fighting style."
"After all, she's going to be our teammate, so it's not a bad thing to get to know her better beforehand."
Ai Li'er and Jiang Kehan, who were rolling around on the sofa, both poked their heads out, their hair intertwined, making a soft rustling sound.
They nodded vigorously, indicating that they understood.
"Oh right, Nuoxi is also an Origin Witch." Jiang Kehan suddenly remembered something and added, looking at Li Hui's somewhat surprised face.
"Moreover, her magic power exceeds 500 points, so her strength should not be underestimated. Be careful."
"Mm." Feeling the concern conveyed by the other party, Li Hui turned around with a slight smile, waving goodbye to the two with her back to them.
"Don't worry, I'm Li Hui."
Yes, you are Li Hui... Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier both quieted down, watching Li Hui's departing figure with slight emotion.
This name seems to carry a special meaning among those who know her—there's nothing that Li Hui can't do.
