Lin Mo was now sandwiched in the middle like a sandwich.
But this kind of "sandwich" was quite comfortable.
However, he closed his eyes, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.
Although Jiang Yunlu knew that Chu Miaomiao was clinging tightly to Lin Mo,
her hand in the water still carefully fiddled with Lin Mo's hand.
Lin Mo's other hand was held by Xie Yuling.
If it weren't for the dim sky and the insufficient light in the pool, those girls sitting across from them would probably have seen it all clearly.
Wasn't this another kind of blessing of having multiple partners?
However, Lin Mo coughed lightly, broke free from the three girls' reliance, and stood up.
"Okay, it's too hot here. I'm going to the colder pool."
With that, he went back to the men's pool.
"Yo, you're back, King of Harem." Fang Jun was the first to mock.
"Yeah, I'm back. My dear Fang, I heard you and the others gossiping about me, so I thought I'd better come back."
"No way. Weren't we just talking about your heroic deeds? I saw with my own eyes that you fought off more than a dozen hooligans by yourself."
"The term 'King of Harem' is already a form of gossiping."
"Swear you didn't say it."
"I swear I didn't say it."
"Stop with your Northeast accent!"
At this time, a boy suddenly spoke up.
"Hey, do you think you're so great just because you're leading on so many girls?"
There must be people in the world with this kind of tone full of questions and a pretense of righteousness. In fact, there are many of them.
But whether they really have a sense of justice or are just jealous, that's hard to tell.
Lin Mo didn't respond. He just looked at the boy calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Even the water in the hot spring seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
"Why do you think that beautiful girls can be 'led on'? They also have their own thoughts and preferences. In your mind, are girls just objects?"
Warning: Here comes the feminist argument!
I was reborn with a whole repertoire of arguments, okay? What kind of arguments haven't I seen?!
This was also why Lin Mo didn't care if these girls would leave him.
He had supernatural powers and could possess anyone at will, but he wouldn't do so.
Because he preferred the saying that love is the sinking of free will.
If someone was willing to sink for him, he would also satisfy their infatuation.
"I... I... I didn't mean that. I just think you're not a good person, dragging so many girls along!"
That boy had never been on the receiving end of such a feminist argument before and was caught off guard for a moment.
But Lin Mo just shook his head indifferently.
"It seems you still don't understand. You're not supposed to have puppy love in high school. You can only establish a relationship in college. This is the rule of the world. Don't you know that?"
Everyone looked at An Yuexin.
An Yuexin raised his hands.
"I'm not the protagonist. The rules of the world don't apply to me."
Anyway, this hot spring trip wasn't that pleasant.
Lin Mo got up and went to take a shower and change clothes.
Actually, he knew he was just being sophistical.
There was no way around it. The essence of a "King of Harem" was a scumbag.
But Lin Mo wasn't like that scumbag Makoto who kept secrets from everyone. He was more like Kazuma and was willing to protect everyone in his harem!
Although the girls didn't hear the discussion among the boys, they could tell that there had been some kind of argument.
After Lin Mo left, Jiang Yunlu was a little worried. She looked at Chu Miaomiao and Xie Yuling.
She found that the two of them were still sitting together.
She couldn't help asking, "Don't you care what they were talking about just now?"
Xie Yuling shook her head. "It's not that we don't care. It's just that it's not appropriate for us girls to interfere in boys' business. And if I'm not wrong, the argument must be because of us.
It's better not to disturb him at this time."
Chu Miaomiao nodded in agreement.
It was obvious to anyone that Jiang Yunlu and Xie Yuling were in an opposing state.
But at this moment, they were almost in a balanced state.
"Lin Mo said he won't fall in love in high school. You should know that, right?" Jiang Yunlu continued to throw a challenge.
"I know. That's good. We're only in Grade One of high school now."
Xie Yuling calmly took up the challenge. She believed that with her relationship and secrets with Lin Mo, they would be the closest to each other.
What were three years of high school? Companionship was the longest confession of love.
Then it was Xie Yuling's turn to launch an attack.
"Miss Jiang, do your family members know about Lin Mo? My mom really likes Lin Mo."
Checkmate!
Jiang Yunlu was suddenly at a loss for words.
Seeing Jiang Yunlu's expression, Xie Yuling knew she had the upper hand.
She knew that Jiang Yunlu always came and went in luxury cars and her family even had a travel company.
She must be a rich young lady.
But Xie Yuling had read a lot of stories about rich young ladies. Didn't they always have their parents' opposition and end up in arranged marriages when they grew up?
Looking at Jiang Yunlu's expression now, she knew she had guessed right.
If Jiang Yunlu really got together with Lin Mo, she would probably face opposition from her family.
At this time, Chu Miaomiao also spoke up. "My mom also likes Lin Mo. She often asks him to come to our house for meals and to stay overnight."
Jiang Yunlu became even more dejected.
Xie Yuling couldn't help glaring at her "ally", making the little girl shrink her neck.
Seeing Chu Miaomiao's timid look, she seemed like a maidservant.
It was impossible to get angry with such a little girl.
Xie Yuling of course knew that Chu Miaomiao liked Lin Mo.
What could she do? She still had to spoil her.
After changing his clothes, Lin Mo returned to the lobby.
By now, the lobby had turned into a late-night snack area.
Many people were sitting there, drinking shochu and chatting. It was obvious that they were from the nearby village.
And He Guoan was still doing some calculations beside them.
"Yo, you're out so soon. Well, it's good. Boys shouldn't soak in the hot spring for too long. Otherwise, it's not good for you in the future."
Seeing Lin Mo come out, He Guoan couldn't help laughing.
Lin Mo casually took a can of coconut milk from the freezer, pulled the tab, and took a sip.
"Indeed, so I came out to get some fresh air."
He Guoan patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.
"It's okay. When you're old, you can soak as long as you want."
Hearing this, Lin Mo echoed with a smile. "Makes sense."
With a sweep of his divine sense, Lin Mo found that General Manager Ma was also in the lobby, drinking shochu and eating fried fish fillets.
"Has that guest been sitting there since before?"
"Yeah, he sent his subordinates away and just asked for a bottle of Yubingshao and has been sitting there drinking ever since."
"He's a lonely boss."
Lin Mo sipped his coconut milk. He Guoan didn't say anything more. After all, there was a generation gap.
The two of them just sat there quietly. After a while, He Guoan stretched.
"Okay, I'm going home too. Otherwise, my wife will start nagging. If you have anything to do, you can find Fang Jun."
"Okay. Is it okay for us to set off fireworks?"
"Sure. How can it be New Year's Day without fireworks?" He Guoan waved his hand.
After saying goodbye, He Guoan said hello to the night - shift employee at the counter, gave some instructions, and then left.
It was quite a while before Fang Jun and the others came out.
"You can't soak for too long. It's more tiring than drinking cola."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
