Of course, if it were merely a brother's affection and fondness for his sister, that would be nothing.
If it went beyond sibling love, becoming romantic love between a man and a woman, then this love and fondness would undoubtedly be perverted.
The more Li Yang thought about it, the colder he felt all over. The way he looked at Rao Beichen changed.
But that was a matter for the parties involved, and it was a voice in his mind. He couldn't do anything to stop it.
For the first time, Li Yang found his supernatural ability to be a headache. Hearing people's thoughts was a good thing, but not necessarily a good thing.
For instance, now, he didn't want to hear, but he had to.
When would he be able to control his mind-reading ability and not listen to people's inner thoughts?
The person concerned stated: Hearing inner thoughts isn't a cool thing; it's a headache and a torment right now.
Li Yang hadn't recovered from the shock of the brother and sister, Rao Beichen and Rao Can, when he heard other voices.
And these voices came from the thin and the fat guys. The thin and fat guys were listening to everyone chat, and then their eyes met inadvertently. Influenced by the atmosphere, the way they looked at each other was different from usual.
In this situation, they couldn't communicate verbally, only through eye contact and continuous inner thoughts.
Then, Li Yang heard their inner thoughts.
After being forced to listen to the brief exchange of their inner thoughts, Li Yang quickly picked up his water and gulped down several large mouthfuls to calm himself.
His young and tender heart could barely take it. He suddenly wondered what kind of people were in Su Ling's team.
How could there be all sorts of people? And the worst part was, he didn't even dislike them, which was even more absurd.
Now, he was no longer happy about awakening his mind-reading ability, which he had been quite pleased about initially.
Because in one night, he learned four people's secrets, and he couldn't tell anyone about it. It was too unbearable.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and no one noticed Li Yang's strangeness. Furthermore, he adjusted quickly. After his mindset changed regarding these voices, he found he could control whether to listen or not. After repeated practice, he 'turned misfortune into fortune' and learned to control when to listen and when not to.
The night was deep. Shang Qi and Gu Shangse, who had gone out, had not yet returned. Everyone gradually got up to rest.
Su Ling didn't move. She continued to sit in her seat, watching everyone leave.
After Shang Qi and Gu Shangse left, and after she had finished talking with Rao Beichen, her right eye had been twitching incessantly.
Not long after she sat down, she felt an inexplicable panic and unease in her heart, a palpitation she couldn't control.
She knew that Shang Qi and Gu Shangse must have run into trouble.
When everyone else had returned to their rooms, Su Ling got up and walked outside. Yang Yang, seeing her get up, wagged its tail and followed her.
The guards on duty recognized her and, seeing her about to go out, let her pass without asking any questions.
Su Ling emerged from the military outpost and directly took out her electric scooter from her spatial storage.
When Su Ling got on, Yang Yang leaped up and also got on the scooter, sitting up straight.
After Yang Yang was settled, Su Ling turned the key, twisted the throttle, and rode the electric scooter through the tree-lined path.

After Shang Qi and Gu Shangse drove away from the military outpost, they rode around the island to inspect it.
Finally, the two arrived at the dock. The car stopped on the dock battered by the waves. They sat in the car, lit cigarettes, and smoked.
Soon, the car cabin was filled with swirling smoke.
There were no lights on the dock; it was pitch black. The only light was probably the glowing embers of their cigarettes.
Then, it was Gu Shangse's turn. He held a cigarette in his left hand and used his right hand to ignite a ball of flame in his palm.
The flame burned in his palm, dispelling the darkness and illuminating their surroundings.
As their vision brightened, Gu Shangse turned his head to look at Shang Qi. "Actually, there's a bit of history between you and me, isn't there?"
