"So what brilliant idea do you have? If you don't speak up, you won't get a spot at the party the day after tomorrow! I've prepared a lot of drinks to welcome everyone on the school team."
Actually, they were all the liquors she had brewed herself that she hadn't sold.
Li Hui looked at her helplessly, but her eyes became serious, and she gently tapped the small tea table in the middle with her right index finger.
"If I had to say, I could be a strategist; you can assign me any enemies that you can't handle."
"Anmeng and Ailier are both good at head-on confrontations and one-on-one fights, but they are at a disadvantage when facing witches with strange magical appearances like Nuoxi. They are only suitable for dealing with general situations."
"As for you and Nuoxi, your spell tables are very complex and your magic power is very high, which is the key to determining the outcome."
Jiang Kehan sighed softly.
“These are the real problems. Ariel just showed me the average level of last year’s school team opponents, and it was higher than I expected.”
Or rather, the level of the Witch Academy's school team can only be considered average every year.
After all, in an era where knowledge can be accessed through terminals and networks, the academy's advantage is not significant. Moreover, wealthy gentlemen and witches, or powerful societies, can certainly provide far more resources to their trainees than the academy.
The most obvious difference is the amount of magic power. Apart from the school team, the average magic power of all teams is no less than 300, and it is not uncommon for teams like Nuoxi to reach 500 points.
Secondly, there's the depth of the spell pool.
Jiang Kehan knew that her own spell pool was severely hindering her performance, and the amount of magic power Anmeng and Ailier possessed was also a problem.
Without tactical arrangements, only Li Hui and Nuo Xi can guarantee a score.
As for Qingxue and Solita, whom Jiang Kehan planned to bring in as substitutes, well, it can only be said that neither of them were brought in because of their direct strength.
"It's a long and arduous journey ahead." Jiang Kehan patted her face, but instead of being discouraged, she was quite pleased.
"But this is what a duel should be like, and I'm very confident I can lead my team to victory!"
Li Hui was somewhat surprised. She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a slightly provocative manner.
"Oh? You're already prepared to defeat me and become the captain? You've already started calculating these things."
Jiang Kehan revealed her little tiger teeth, gently biting them, and made a face at Li Hui.
"What, you're not convinced?"
“I’m looking forward to it.” Li Hui reached out and gently touched Jiang Kehan’s head, but his words were not so warm. “I’m looking forward to you tearing me to pieces, instead of me treating you like a roadside weed, not even knowing how you died.”
"Hmm," Jiang Kehan pushed hard, pushing Li Hui's hand back. She puffed out her cheeks and looked at Li Hui with a somewhat unconvinced expression, revealing a malicious smile.
"I specifically learned a lot of magic to defeat you, just you wait!"
After all, you are my true hypothetical enemy from beginning to end. At least half of my spells are prepared to defeat you... Jiang Kehan knew that Li Hui's words were just to make her more vigilant, so that she wouldn't let her complacency lead to failure.
But she was even more certain that she had long been prepared for this.
Sitting next to Jiang Kehan, Ai Li'er rolled her eyes helplessly as she watched the two joking around.
"So when are you two going to start laying eggs? You're always showing off your love here. I'm not watching anymore, I'm going to go play the game."
She stood up, drank the water in the glass in one gulp, and then ran away.
Aili had wanted to say this for a long time, but Yingling Qisi (5) IX [Deadly Clinging to Shrimp Yue "/Yi She knew she would get beaten up if she said it, and now that she finally had a chance to say it and run away, it was too exciting!
"Believe it or not, I'll drag you over here to lay eggs too!" Jiang Kehan waved her little hand, her face flushed with shyness. She spoke to Ai Li'er's back with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
"Hehe." Ai Li'er was waiting for the moment when Jiang Kehan would break down, and she laughed even more happily.
"We'll see if I'm the one who pounces on you or you pounce on me, you innocent little Kehan!"
Jiang Kehan slammed her hand on the coffee table, seemingly venting her anger, but her eyes kept drifting towards Li Hui.
She was also curious about Li Hui's attitude towards this statement.
Unfortunately, Li Hui didn't seem to care. She picked up a glass of wine, her gaze somewhat leisurely.
After noticing Jiang Kehan's gaze, she lightly touched her wine glass to Jiang Kehan's, as if inviting her to drink.
"Heh, it seems your relationship is getting better and better." Li Hui chuckled, gently pushing Jiang Kehan's probing gaze away.
"But let's wait until Kehan is an adult before talking about these things. After all, the person you'll spend your life with is someone you need to carefully consider."
After all, I don't know if I can be with you for a lifetime, so please forgive me for not being able to make any promises right now, Kehan.
Li Hui hid her apology in her eyes, in her heart, and in her wine. After Jiang Kehan also raised her glass, she tilted her head back and swallowed the wine in one gulp, turning that apology into a straight line, transforming it into resolute determination.
She wouldn't bring her own snowstorm onto Jiang Kehan, even if the other party was willing.
Even love that isn't romantic love is still selfish, selfish to the point of not wanting the other person to suffer any more grievances, selfish to the point of not wanting to share one's own anxieties with the other person.
You are one of my very few friends, perhaps even the first person I've crossed the line of friendship with, so please don't forgive me, okay?
Forgive me, that's the part I'm most sorry for.
Li Hui's smile had a hint of bitterness, but she stubbornly comforted herself that it was just the bitterness of the wine.
Jiang Kehan swallowed the drink and stared straight at her.
"No, whether I'm an adult or not won't change my mind. I just want to see the world with you, no matter what!"
"So, can you be my friend for life, someone who will always be there for me when I want to reach out to you?"
Jiang Kehan didn't notice Li Hui's unusual behavior; she simply spoke her mind.
Although it was a bit shameless, she had made up her mind that even if she ended up alone, she would drag the other person down with her.
These are true best friends for life!
Chapter 175 Companionship
Li Hui fell silent for a moment. Looking at Jiang Kehan, who was no longer hindered by shyness, she felt that even her breathing was a little noisy.
The noise was so loud that she couldn't think straight.
It even caused her to briefly lose control of her mind; she actually wanted to agree?!
"Is this a confession?" Li Hui came to her senses and tried to brush it off with a joke, but she regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.
Looking at Jiang Kehan's firm, unwavering gaze, she knew that her joke would only make her look ridiculous.
Li Hui had seen that look in Jiang Kehan's eyes several times before, and each time, Jiang Kehan managed to surprise and change her...
This time is no exception.
Jiang Kehan's eyes were filled with a smile, her eyebrows curved, as if she were talking about something trivial.
"If you think it counts, you can understand it that way. So what's your thought?"
"Li Hui."
I want to give you a good slap on the butt so you'll know you can't just say whatever comes to mind... Li Hui turned her face away in a bit of a panic. For a moment, she admitted that she was a little tempted.
This is incredible!
She was Li Hui, the one who always took the initiative. At this moment, it was as if she had switched identities with Jiang Kehan, and her mind went blank.
But Jiang Kehan is still in the C position; she hasn't stopped yet!
At this moment, Jiang Kehan didn't feel there was anything to be ashamed of, because this was her truest thought, a simple and unshakable thought after discarding all the complicated formalities.
She stared intently at Li Hui and uttered the outrageous words: "Even if you get married in the future, I will still secretly take you out to play. Humph, if the other person is obedient, it's not impossible to bring her out to play too."
"I, I..." Li Hui seriously considered the question. If he could really be with Jiang Kehan for a lifetime, would he accept this confession that wasn't a confession?
The answer is yes. From the moment they started living together, she was completely captivated by Jiang Kehan, a lovely, unique, and even somewhat mischievous girl.
The only thing that didn't make her happy was that this girl's charm was like moonlight with nowhere to shine, always able to reach the darkness in other people's hearts and bring light.
Yes, Li Hui was certain that there wouldn't be just one person by Jiang Kehan's side in the future.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly, but then chuckled.
"I agreed, although I'm a little disappointed. But could you do me a favor?"
Li Hui extended his hand to Jiang Kehan, his eyes momentarily becoming distant and pale, like a god residing high in the heavens, carrying an indelible loneliness.
"Could you please pull me back into this world when I've given up on myself?"
Jiang Kehan was stunned for a moment. She looked at Li Hui at this moment and grabbed the hand that the other party offered without hesitation.
She suddenly felt as if she had finally touched the other person's heart, which still longed to beat, through the thick frost, and then nodded sharply.
"Yes! That's exactly what I'm preparing for."
"But... why do you have this idea?" Jiang Kehan looked at Li Hui seriously.
"None of us will ignore you!"
I know… Li Hui was both amused and exasperated. Of course she knew that whether it was Jiang Kehan, Ai Lier, or even some witches who had been watching her closely, they would all be unwavering in their efforts to save her.
But, although it may sound unpleasant, perhaps only Jiang Kehan truly won't let go.
This witch, who never seemed to think like a normal witch, might sometimes use her "selfishness" to change everything.
"I know, but sometimes, I can't live without you." Li Hui said as if he were saying something sweet, but the regret in his tone made Jiang Kehan wary.
Jiang Kehan looked at her suspiciously and couldn't help but ask, "You're not going to pull off some kind of revenge plot where you regain your memories, are you?"
"Of course not." Li Hui looked at the other person with some helplessness, wondering why she had so many "whimsical ideas" in her little head.
However, I can probably guess why I'm unwilling to become a complete witch.
Every shining star has its own story and its own regrets. Only when they fall do they hope that in the moment of their destruction, they can bring a more dazzling light and spread warmth to other distant places.
Perhaps I'm already satisfied, which is why I feel lost... Looking at Jiang Kehan, who is actually there in front of me, Li Hui suddenly felt her own falseness.
A kind of falsehood that can never be reconciled once let go.
"That's good. Witches are an utterly incredible race. Nothing can destroy us." Jiang Kehan stubbornly covered Li Hui's hand, trying to convey her belief and tension to the other person through her constantly tightening grip.
"As long as you want to live, you will definitely live!"
"So, you promised me, right? You'll stay with me and see the colors of this world together, and you won't suddenly leave me."
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but confirm again that the conditions Li Hui mentioned changed almost every few times.
From the initial provocation of proving herself worthy to stand by Li Hui's side, to the later promise that she could stay if she defeated Li Hui, to now acting as if she were giving her last words, each time it felt like she was being pressured.
Iron Bad Guy!
Jiang Kehan was furious and lunged at Li Hui, biting him hard on the neck.
"I'll take that as a promise. If you don't keep every promise you've made, even if you die, I'll piece together your ashes and put them by my bedside!"
