Everyone gathered in a circle, sharing their catch and waiting for the next fish to bite, creating an atmosphere that felt like a camping trip.
"The fish that Nuoxi caught tastes like a sandwich cake, it's delicious!"
Jiang Kehan finished the small piece of fish she was given with some delight, and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Don't be fooled by its small size; food born from longing has a rich flavor and an unforgettable aftertaste.
Jiang Kehan seemed to see a child at night, looking up at the ceiling, closing his eyes with anticipation, longing to have more friends in his dreams.
She guessed that this might be related to Nuoxi's expectations for freedom.
Perhaps it was a blessing of longing, but after sharing the fish, everyone became much friendlier towards Nuoxi, making her a little shy for a moment.
It's really good.
Jiang Kehan nodded, feeling satisfied. She felt that this was the true value of the gathering.
However, when she looked to the other side, her lips twitched involuntarily.
Solita and Qingxue glared at each other, humming and mocking each other.
"Little brat." Solita glanced sideways at Qingxue, who had taken off her hood, making no attempt to hide her disdain.
"I really don't know what Kehan saw in you. You have no breasts and no height."
Qingxue glared at Solita, baring her teeth, and retorted fiercely.
"I just don't understand why Kehan would have a friend like you. You're so rude!"
Seemingly feeling that her counterattack was somewhat powerless, she could only look pleadingly at Li Hui, the renowned chief student of the academy, hoping that he could uphold justice for her.
Li Hui calmly took a sip of wine, but his gaze towards Qingxue was filled with helplessness.
Actually, I'm kind of your rival in love, Qingxue.
I'm not criticizing you because you're still young... Li Hui silently drank her wine, then looked up at the sky.
Ironically, everyone else has caught some fish, but she hasn't caught a single one yet.
Qingxue keenly noticed that Li Hui's attitude was off. She narrowed her eyes and tentatively spoke.
"That chief executive, what's your relationship with Kehan like?"
“Very good.” Li Hui looked at her calmly and replied.
Wow! I hadn't heard before I came that I had more than one potential rival!
Qingxue's face fell, and she glared at Jiang Kehan in a huff. Then, taking advantage of her young age, she started to act up towards Li Hui.
"Then tell me, Chief, isn't Solitaire an impolite witch?"
Solita was getting anxious. She hadn't expected Qingxue to drag Li Hui down with her. She had been trying to avoid this!
What's the difference between this and rushing straight to the final boss after leaving the newbie village?!
Li Hui chuckled lightly and casually glanced at the two of them.
“I think none of you are polite. Just because you are Kehan’s friends, you point fingers at others. What kind of talk is that?”
Qingxue realized that she had done something wrong. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Kehan, and only after seeing that the other party had no objections did she gradually calm down.
She was just a little jealous and spiteful, but she didn't intend to hurt anyone else.
Solita didn't care whether she would hurt any of the witches besides Jiang Kehan; she was the one who started the fight first.
But she chose to follow her heart.
We can only engage the final boss when we're fully developed; we can't afford to feed kills now.
So she nodded in agreement, admitting that she was wrong.
This little farce ended under Li Hui's pressure, causing Ai Li'er to lean on Jiang Kehan's shoulder and tease her.
"Now you know the trouble your charm has caused, right? I think Li Hui has the air of an empress."
Jiang Kehan nodded subconsciously.
She watched from beginning to end, and Li Hui's casual way of dealing with the other two was like teasing children, which was very much in line with her idea of the Empress.
But Jiang Kehan immediately realized something was wrong, and she opened her mouth to bite Ai Lier's hand that was on her shoulder.
"I think you're the one with ill intentions. What 'official wife' nonsense? We're all just friends."
“Oh~” Aili’er laughed strangely, which annoyed Jiang Kehan.
However, as more people took the bait, the little farce quickly disappeared without a trace.
Even as night fell, the group lingered, gazing up at the dark sky and sea, lost in thought.
At night, the Sky Sea transforms into a true starry sky, with all the creatures within emitting a faint glow, and the brilliant colors, like a galaxy, converging towards the depths of the Sky Sea becoming even more clearly visible.
"Is this what longing is?" Jiang Kehan couldn't help but ask Ai Li'er beside her.
Ariel nodded gently: "Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Then let's give it a try." Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier's somewhat regretful face and knew that she was still missing her mother.
"I bet you have something you want to express too, how about we let it fly free?"
"In this way, perhaps your mothers will have a chance to catch your longing!"
She spoke softly, so that only Ariel could hear her.
"It's kind of our little secret, how about it?"
Ai Li'er looked at the smiling Jiang Kehan in surprise, feeling as if something had melted away.
"Thank you..." She didn't say the words aloud, but instead raised her head and put her hands together in prayer.
"I... will let it fly."
I remember my mother saying that everything that shines is the most precious thing, like you, Kehan.
After letting her longing take flight, Ariel quietly opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Kehan's face.
In her eyes, the other person was so wonderful, like a ray of light in the darkness of loneliness.
Chapter 203 The Angel Locked in the Castle
Good times always seem so short, but everyone parted with smiles on their faces.
"It seems the purpose of the gathering has been achieved." Ariel stretched and looked at the others saying goodbye and even exchanging small gifts, and boasted to Jiang Kehan.
"See, I won't let everyone down, even though coming here to fish is actually my little secret reason."
"Very impressive~" Jiang Kehan carefully put away the small gifts everyone gave her, and then gave Ai Li'er a thumbs up.
"As expected of a professional coach, we can absolutely trust you with our logistics!"
Then tell me, why did you receive twice as many gifts as I did... Ariel looked at Jiang Kehan with annoyance, feeling somewhat helpless to complain.
Normally, the head coach is the one who gets along best with everyone else, but who can blame them when they have a darling of the group?
However, thinking of this, Ariel suddenly became serious. After a moment's thought, she said to Jiang Kehan.
"Kehan, do you have time these next few days?"
"Is there something you need?" Jiang Kehan blinked. If it were Ai Lier, she could postpone other things, but she was very curious about what Ai Lier could want from her.
After all, Ariel rarely asks for help from others; it's more often Jiang Kehan who asks her for help.
"It's nothing major, it's just that before the competition, we need someone from the school team to go to Wu Yuhan's house on behalf of the team."
"I think you might be more suitable."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat surprised. She couldn't help but glance at Li Hui across from her, and then asked in confusion.
"It would be more appropriate to let Li Hui go. I remember she and Wu Yuhan are friends."
Ariel gently shook her head and looked at Jiang Kehan seriously.
"It's precisely because they are friends that I don't want Li Hui to go."
"What I need to know is Wu Yuhan's attitude towards the school team. If it were Li Hui, she wouldn't have talked about the school team."
At this point, seeing Jiang Kehan's somewhat puzzled look, Ailier explained to her.
"You may not know, but Wu Yuhan is very arrogant, to the point of being disdainful of everyone."
"In her class of college seats, the others were basically just her subordinates, unlike us who could express our opinions."
“I don’t want her to treat everyone except Li Hui the same way on the school team, and I don’t want to have a conflict with her during the competition, so I need someone to talk to her on behalf of the school team.”
Looking at Jiang Kehan, whose face was delicate and who unconsciously smiled, Ai Lier also smiled, her eyes serious.
"I think you are the most suitable person."
After all, everyone here likes you quite a bit, and I think Wu Yuhan will like you too... Ai Lier glanced around and thought that without Jiang Kehan, everyone would not have become so harmonious so quickly.
Although others may not realize it, Jiang Kehan's proactive attitude has already weakened their vigilance, and they are even gradually becoming like Jiang Kehan, willing to open their hearts more to others.
This is a silent influence, and it is also the most precious thing about Jiang Kehan. The changes she brings are not just to herself.
Aier was quite certain that Wu Yuhan's aloof soul could not help but be attracted by Jiang Kehan's sincere and pure heart.
"Me?" Jiang Kehan pondered for a moment, then began to recall several scenes from when she met Wu Yuhan.
The other person's disdainful attitude towards others at the witch's ball, the almost dismissive tone when inviting her to join the witch organization's preparatory team, and the slightly distant communication in their daily interactions.
Almost every time, it left a deep impression on Jiang Kehan, making her unable to deny that Ai Lier's concerns were justified.
So she decided to agree, after all, everyone on the school team was her friend, and Wu Yuhan was also her friend, right?
Jiang Kehan was starting to wonder if Wu Yuhan considered her a friend. His attitude was very strange and ambiguous. However, Jiang Kehan was certain that she didn't want to see any conflicts between them during the competition or at other times.
"I think I can talk to Wu Yuhan, but are there any extra things I should be aware of?"
Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier, whose arrangements were always cautious and who understood Wu Yuhan better than she did.
“No, but you can bring a bottle of good wine.” Ariel couldn’t help but smile mysteriously. “I think the wine from the Witch’s Tavern would be quite good, and it would be a small reward for you.”
Great!
Jiang Kehan wished she could hug and kiss Ai Lier. As the head of the city's witch agency, Wu Yuhan's wine would definitely be very expensive, and the academy would even be vying to pay for it.
In fact, the college might not be happy if the gift is too cheap.
After all, since Wu Yuhan took office, her investment in the academy has been the highest in history, which is why she participated in the school team.
