Su Ling's team was filled with beautiful girls. One of them, fair-skinned, had a complexion that glowed from pale to rosy.
All of them were in their prime youth, which earned them the favor of many people at the garrison.
Among them was Qin Yun, whose ability, like Su Ling and Rao Beichen's, was castle construction. He paid close attention to Bai Heqing.
As for Li Yang, after overhearing Rao Beichen and Rao Can's inner thoughts that night, he learned to control his own ability and became interested in Rao Can, taking a liking to her.
Su Ling's team consisted of six girls: Su Ling, Sister Na, Bai Heqing, Rao Can, Lin Enxin, and Jia Jia.
Among them, Su Ling and Shang Qi were a couple, Jia Jia and Wen Jie were a couple, and it was common knowledge that Lin Enxin had feelings for Gu Shangse.
In the group of six girls, only Sister Na, Bai Heqing, and Rao Can were single.
These three were very popular and well-liked by the young men at the garrison.
Besides practicing their abilities to ensure the base's safety, everyone's other focus was to win the attention of the girls they admired.
However, everyone was subtle, their expressions very restrained, not overly enthusiastic or wild, but rather like a gentle, imperceptible influence.
The girls being popular was not a bad thing, but one person found it particularly troublesome. That person was Rao Beichen.
How popular Rao Can was, her brother, as an observer, and as someone whose heart was entirely set on Rao Can, witnessed it all. Although he could step in at appropriate times to fend off some suitors for Rao Can, he couldn't be by her side constantly.
This inevitably left opportunities for others.
He was cautious and dared not reveal his feelings too obviously.
Even though this was the apocalypse, and although Rao Can was not his biological sister, and they had no blood relation, she had always called him brother, and he had watched her grow up. Others would not understand or accept his feelings; they would only think he was perverted and inhumane.
Rao Beichen was conflicted and tormented, but helpless, he could only take things one step at a time.
Gu Shangse took a sip of juice and heard a voice suddenly ring in his ear. He remembered he had forgotten to block out inner thoughts.
He didn't want to listen to others' inner voices, so he blocked them out.
But it was a little late; he had heard some things he should and shouldn't have.
For example, Rao Beichen's very rich inner monologue just now.
Gu Shangse's gaze fell on Rao Beichen, and following his line of sight, he saw Rao Can surrounded by young men from the garrison, vying for her attention.
There was nothing wrong with striving for what one desired, especially since Rao Can was single and unattached. Everyone was brave, bravely pursuing what their hearts longed for.
This was the premise, if he hadn't heard Rao Beichen's inner thoughts.
Putting down his juice, Gu Shangse picked up a piece of oyster omelet, dipped it in sauce, and chewed it.
He was merely an outsider, an observer. When it came to love, he hadn't figured out his own situation, so he couldn't be a matchmaker.
Fate, after all, was the greatest gift from heaven.
He could only watch and see what the ultimate destination would be for their group.
Currently known, Su Ling and Shang Qi were a couple, Wen Jie and Jia Jia were a couple, and the rest were yet to be seen.
As Gu Shangse was thinking, a hand pushed a plate of shelled seafood towards him. He looked up at the hand and saw Lin Enxin, whose face was no bigger than a palm, looking at him. As he looked, her red lips parted, "Dip it in the sauce to eat; it's irresistibly delicious."
Looking at her, Gu Shangse was truly at a loss. He pushed the plate back, "If I want to eat, I can do it myself. You peel them yourself, and you eat them yourself."
