Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

At that moment, the arena was silent, as if crows were flying overhead in the sky.

"Second Spirit Ability: Renewal!"

Instantly, three rays of green light entered Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu. The three, who had been exhausted from using their spirit power and appeared pale, suddenly felt their depleted energy restored the moment the green light entered their bodies.

"Wow, Su Ming! This spirit ability of yours is amazing. My spirit power recovered in an instant!" Shui Yue'er, now bursting with energy, bounced over to Su Ming's side.

Without hesitation, she clung to Su Ming's arm, showing no sign of disappointment from losing the match. Her boldness left Su Ming a bit embarrassed; the young lady was far too outgoing. They had just finished the match, with so many people watching! Even with Su Ming's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush a bit.

More importantly, he and Shui Yue'er weren't even in a relationship, yet here she was, acting so intimate. What was he supposed to do? If he chose not to resist, he would come across as irresponsible, which seemed too heartless!

Su Ming decided he wasn't that kind of person, so he would just let things flow naturally—heh!

The girls: Ugh, such a playboy!

Everyone was still caught up in the match's excitement, but Shui Yue'er's actions drew all eyes onto them.

On the side, Su Yuntao grinned mischievously and announced the match result, "The match is over! Heaven Dou Academy wins! And congratulations to the captain for winning the lady's heart!"

With that, Su Yuntao gave Su Ming a look as if saying, "You're welcome," and promptly walked away.

Su Yuntao thought: Su Ming, you'd better appreciate my help here.

Su Ming: ...Wait, wait! Does this "Blind Douluo" actually think he's being suave?!

Su Ming could feel the heated, envious glares on him.

"That Su Ming! What makes him worthy of having so many girls around him?!"

"Yeah, exactly! His team already has so many beauties, so why is he going after Tianshui Academy's goddess too?!"

"Damn it, Su Ming! I'll never forgive you!"

To avoid the awkwardness, Su Ming shot a glance at Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, then led Shui Yue'er off the stage.

He was met by Xiao Wu and the others, each giving him a curious look as if asking, When did you start getting close to Shui Yue'er?

Su Ming sighed inwardly. He didn't even know what was happening himself. Despite having some thoughts in that direction, he hadn't expected this sudden enthusiasm from Shui Yue'er, which caught him completely off guard.

"Ahem… Let's leave first and talk later," Su Ming said, steeling himself to face their curious stares. He then asked Shui Yue'er quietly, "Yue'er, what's with you? We've only met a few times. Are you sure this is okay? Do you… like me?"

Shui Yue'er nodded cheerfully, "Yep! I liked you from the first moment I saw you. Our academy's team leader told us that if you like someone, be brave, take the initiative, and not worry about the outcome—just don't let yourself regret it."

Su Ming: ...I'd love to know exactly who this leader is so I can give them a big thumbs-up. Well done!

Su Ming hadn't expected Shui Yue'er, with her fangirl tendencies, to be this bold. Impressive!

"Ahem, Yue'er, while I do like you too, and I'm happy you feel this way about me, I have to be honest about something," he started.

Before he could finish, Shui Yue'er interrupted, "You're going to say you already have girlfriends, right? And several of them, too?"

Su Ming nodded helplessly. "Yeah, I wanted to make sure that's clear. I know it makes me seem like a player, but I try to be honest."

Shui Yue'er laughed, "Oh, I already figured that out! I may be a bit of a fangirl, but I've got good judgment. All the girls in your team are involved with you, right? Including Princess Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Senior Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan? If they don't mind, then why should I?"

Su Ming: ...Such strong reasoning.

Once they exited the arena and reached the street, Su Ming explained the situation to Xiao Wu and the others as they walked.

Xiao Wu and the others simply gave Shui Yue'er curious looks, not out of jealousy but out of amazement at Shui Yue'er's boldness. They all knew that, despite Shui Yue'er's fangirl personality, Su Ming did have a soft spot for her. They were simply surprised that Shui Yue'er had made the first move.

"Yue'er, be honest with me. Was it really our team leader who taught you that?" Shui Bing'er lightly tapped her sister's head.

"Yep, absolutely! You can ask her when we get back if you don't believe me."

Shui Bing'er: ...

"So, Su Ming, can I be your girlfriend too?" Shui Yue'er asked expectantly.

She was fangirly by nature, but once she fell for someone, her feelings were genuine and focused.

Steeling himself, Su Ming looked around at the girls, then nodded, "As long as none of them object, it's fine by me. I'd rather not have any drama."

The girls, in unison: "We're okay with it!"

Su Ming's eyes widened. Whoa, I was sure at least one of them would object, but it was a unanimous vote?!

He'd planned to try reasoning with anyone who disagreed, but it seemed his "backyard" was unexpectedly harmonious.

"Yay!" Shui Yue'er cheered, giving Su Ming a quick kiss on the cheek, leaving a faint red mark.

Shui Bing'er was embarrassed for her sister; they were out in public, after all. But Shui Yue'er's excitement attracted plenty of stares from the street.

Su Ming had no choice but to hurriedly usher the group away.

Soon, the day's match results came in as Su Ming had expected. The three teams advancing to the finals were Heaven Dou Academy, Thunder Academy, and Spirit Hall.
