Chapter 95: Confession?

Chapter 95: Confession?

Xiao Hua returned to her original spot with a complicated and unspeakable mood, sitting on a small stool and questioning her life choices.

So, there are this many benefits to being seriously injured?

It makes me want to try it too.

Moreover, since Bai Mu's future advancements are not limited by the crystal nucleus, whatever the reason, Xiao Hua could foresee that Bai Mu's level-up speed would leave everyone else in the dust.

Although Xiao Hua didn’t mind Bai Mu's power level surpassing hers, she still felt a sense of crisis.

The older generation gets left behind, washed up on the beach.

I need to keep training hard and not slack off!

"Xiao Hua! Xiao Hua!"

Xiao Hua snapped out of her thoughts and realized Su Mo was practically yelling into her ear. She paused and slightly moved back to create some distance, "What is it?"

Su Mo thrust her face close to Xiao Hua's line of sight, full of curiosity, "What were you just thinking about? I called you, but you didn’t hear me."

Xiao Hua: "Thinking about how to get stronger faster."

Thinking about how to quickly enhance her powers to avoid being overwhelmed by wave after wave of newcomers.

"Oh~" Su Mo winked and grinned mischievously, "Did Brother Bai confess his feelings to you?"

Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua: "???"

Xiao Hua pressed her index finger against Su Mo's forehead, gently poking twice, and said with exasperation, "What's going on in that head of yours?"

"Why else would you two sneak off alone?" Su Mo thought her guess was quite plausible.

"No," Xiao Hua hissed, feeling frustrated and confused, "We went to discuss our powers."

"Then why didn't you bring us along to listen?"

How should I know why Bai Mu walked away?!

Xiao Hua rubbed her temples and made something up, "It's related to the future research direction of our powers, are you sure you want to hear?"

Su Mo: "..."

Su Mo: "No, thanks."

Seeing that Xiao Hua didn’t look like she’d just been confessed to, Su Mo sighed with disappointment.

Xiao Hua glanced sideways and countered, "Thinking about starting to date?"

Su Mo hesitated, lowering her head without saying a word.

Seeing Su Mo's expression, Xiao Hua understood something, "There’s something going on?"

Su Mo looked at Xiao Hua, her expression conflicted, "What should I do, Xiao Hua? He’s really good to me, and I’m wavering."

She was obviously talking about Xiao Zui.

"Normal." Xiao Hua patted Su Mo on the shoulder to comfort her.

Setting aside the protagonist halo, Xiao Zui was indeed good to Su Mo, and with his striking looks, it was hard not to be tempted.

"Is it normal? Then what should I do?" Su Mo looked at Xiao Hua confusedly, seeking help.

Xiao Hua once again played the role of a counselor and said earnestly, "Go with your gut."

"But I previously decided not to get into a relationship, to focus on improving my strength first and put feelings aside. It hasn’t been long, and now I’m already breaking my promise."

Su Mo looked at Xiao Hua, whose face could take everyone’s breath away at first sight, with a conflicted expression. "Xiao Hua, if it were you, what would you do?"

"If you like them, go for it; if not, tough it out."

Xiao Hua lightly laughed while sitting on the stool; she didn’t think this was a big issue. If you have genuine feelings, just go for it; there’s no shame in that.

"Besides, feelings can be unpredictable. It’s possible to hate each other one moment and be all lovey-dovey the next. Inconsistency is normal."

Su Mo felt reassured, but then suddenly added, "So, do you have anyone you like right now?"

Xiao Hua didn’t see the connection to the previous question, tilted her head to think for a few seconds, and then shook her head, "No."

Her focus was on killing zombies and improving both herself and her team’s strength.

"What about in the past?"

"No."

Su Mo nodded, then hit the nail on the head, "Xiao Hua, your advice as a single person hasn't been tested in practice. How can I trust it?"

Xiao Hua crossed her arms, turned her head away, and huffed, "As they say, 'the observer sees most of the game.'"

Xiao Zui successfully advanced to level four, and after a short rest, everyone continued their journey.

Two days later, the seven of them finally arrived at Base A.
