Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

She waved her hand, "Just ask whatever you want. Why did you come all the way here to ask me? Are you in a hurry?"

"It's urgent, I didn't sleep a wink last night."

Because of staying up late, White Rabbit didn't look well, but after hearing that kind of thing and being tricked by her own father, how could she possibly fall asleep?

Without any hesitation, she asked directly, "You and An Xin did that kind of thing?"

"what?"

Talulah was taken aback, then smiled. "Where did you get this information? There's really nothing between us to hide. I do have feelings for An Xin, and don't you feel the same way, Yelena?"

But I'm not planning on dating right now. I have more important things to do. We'll talk about dating after the war is over and I've accomplished what I need to do.

“I think so too.” Yelena, Talulah, and Alina had formed a tacit understanding. All three of them had feelings for An Xin, but none of them took the initiative.

That's why she was able to remain so calm.

Once everything is over, An Xin will definitely choose one of the three of them.

Yelena didn't consider the others as competitors at all, and she didn't care about them either.

Since it's not Talulah...

So, the answer is Alina.

From a certain perspective, she is indeed the most likely "culprit." Our political commissar was the first to fall in love with An Xin.

The white rabbit said in a cool voice, "An Xin told me about this himself, but he didn't say who the person was. I'm going to find Alina. What do you plan to do?"

“What else can I do? I still have work to do. We lost a lot of comrades last time. I must cherish what they gave their lives for.” Talulah continued working.

Yelena nodded, "Then good luck, I'll go find Alina myself."

"Wait."

The red dragon's voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw Talulah, who had put down her pen. Talulah casually straightened her clothes and spoke to her.

"I'd better go with you."

The two left together, leaving the office empty. On the way, Talulah listened to Yelena recount what had happened and heard Anxin's words in their entirety.

She bit her lip and exchanged a glance with Yelena.

Both of them understood that the balance maintained by the three of them had been broken.

Now that the first person has made a move, if the other two don't follow suit, I'm afraid...

They are about to lose their eligibility to compete.

If it weren't for Patriot's words, things would have been fine. With his affirmation, An Xin might have already decided on that person.

Both of them felt a little threatened.

When they met Alina, Little Deer was assigning tasks to the political commissars. She was explaining the work requirements to those around her. Talulah and Yelena exchanged a glance and waited outside the door for a while instead of knocking.

The city kept moving south, and the temperature wasn't so cold anymore. Perhaps because they were afraid of the cold, no one took off their heavy cotton-padded coats.

Looking at their smiles, Talulah was actually very satisfied; she had done what she promised.

Chapter 43 Alina and the Village

A dozen minutes later, Alina took a break to entertain her two good friends.

With a smile on her lips, she took out homemade pastries and poured tea for the two of them.

After finishing everything, she straightened her skirt, sat down at one side of the small round table, and asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

"Alina, this next question is a little difficult to ask, but I still have to ask you." Talulah organized her thoughts, as she was closer to Alina and it was easier for her to bring it up.

The white rabbit looked nervous, hoping that Alina would deny it, yet also not wanting her to actually deny it.

The anticipation stems from the fear that their balance will be disrupted, while the reluctance arises because if it's not Alina either, it means the three of them have been stolen away.

After recounting the events to Alina, the little deer was stunned and quickly shook her head, indicating that it wasn't her.

"So, the girl An Xin mentioned isn't any of us?" Talulah frowned.

"Um, it wasn't me." Alina felt a little wronged. All along, in order to maintain the friendship between the three of them, she had never gotten too close to An Xin.

The three of them maintained a subtle balance in this regard, with none of them taking any initiative or expressing their feelings to An Xin.

If all three people are now saying it wasn't them, it means they were too slow and someone else beat them to it.

Yelena frowned the most as she looked at Alina and Talulah and asked.

"What should we do? Should we just go and ask An Xin?"

"No rush, let's observe for a while and see who gets close to An Xin. Let's catch the ones who sneaked away first."

Talulah crossed her arms. "But how come I've never seen Anxin get too close to anyone other than the three of us?"

"That's not important. What's important is what Mr. Patriot said to An Xin. Knowing An Xin as I do, if he had any hesitation before, he certainly won't now."

Alina picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "I'm just worried that An Xin is so focused on waiting for that girl that she might distance herself from us for a while."

"This..." Yelena bit her lip. She had thought the same thing last night, which was why she couldn't sleep.

Ugh! This is so annoying.

The main problem is that the person who framed her was her father.

“That’s true. The reason we like him is because of his upright character.” Talulah’s smile was tinged with bitterness. “There are advantages and disadvantages.”

"However, judging from Mr. Patriot's words, An Xin still has a good impression of us."

After careful consideration, Alina said, "Perhaps we should thank that girl. If it weren't for her, An Xin might not have hesitated so much, let alone wavered. He's the kind of person who, once he's made up his mind about something, will stick to it."

Perhaps, even without that girl, he would have already been dating one of the three of us, whoever he liked the most back then.

After these words, all three of them fell silent.

Indeed, if that girl hadn't subtly maintained the balance, how could An Xin have remained completely still?

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed a little distant from the three of them, and their relationship remained more of a comradeship. Even if he had feelings for them, he never showed it.

The air grew somewhat scorching, and Yelena even suspected that Talulah was using Originium Arts.

"Let's observe for a while longer."

Ultimately, with Talulah's decision, the other two had no objections and nodded in agreement.

The three were discussing something in an open space, teaching boxing to children.

The blond youth was 1.9 meters tall, strong and powerful, and his set of boxing techniques was vigorous and powerful.

"call!"

He let out a long sigh and looked at the children, "Come on, let's play a round together."

They were still young when they received instruction in boxing from An Xin. When they got older, the Patriots would take them away to receive military training.

An Xin walked among the crowd, correcting their movements from time to time and pointing out their mistakes.

In the past six months, his boxing skills have not only not become rusty, but have actually improved.

Walking among the rows of children, An Xin suddenly had a flash of insight. Her heart calmed down, and her whole body felt relaxed.

He opened the game panel.

Name: An Xin

[Race: Qilin]

[Status: Oripathy]

Life: 12 (+)

[Charm: 7 (+)]

【能力：lv4（+）师从宗师、lv6（+）源石技艺：雷法、lv5（+）专业训练、lv2（+）侦查魔眼、lv2（+）贪食】

[Points: 29,500]

Before I knew it, my skills had leveled up.

According to his discovery, upgrading a level 3 skill requires 1,500 points, which saves him the trouble.

Regardless of how long the original owner trained, he had been training for more than half a year before making any progress.

But it will probably be difficult to make rapid progress again.

An Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the water bottle, and continued teaching the child.

He almost wanted to level up his skills again; it felt really good.

However, you still need to accumulate points.

The things he wanted to buy weren't cheap; a racial behemoth cost 1.5 million points, and a worldline reboot cost 200,000 points—both were things he needed.

The former is his biggest trump card in his conquest of Terra, while the latter is related to some people.

At that moment, he understood.
