Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

After a long while, Gu Zhi Qiu slowly raised her head from Lin Ba's embrace.

She had actually recovered long ago, but she was just reluctant to move because she was still feeling warm.

Her nose gently rubbed against the fabric of his chest, like a cat rubbing against a radiator.

Seeing her face suddenly turn red, Lin Ba lowered his head and pinched her cheek:

"What's wrong, senior? Are you still not feeling well?"

Su Shushuang, standing beside her with her arms crossed, quietly added:

"I think I've gotten addicted to being in your arms. In these ten minutes or so, I've eaten a mouthful of dog food."

Gu Zhi Qiu, having been exposed in public, quickly withdrew from Lin Ba's embrace:

"Junior, it's nothing, let's go."

The three chatted as they walked, and soon Lin Ba saw an ice cream shop not far away with a queue outside.

After playing for so long, the three of them were quite thirsty.

Seeing this, Lin Ba casually said:

"Let's go buy an ice cream."

This shop is quite popular in Douyang. Its unique feature is that after the staff digs out the balls and puts them on the crispy cones, they will use a stick to playfully tease the customers.

When you reach out to grab it, it pulls back, making everyone around you laugh.

This also attracted many people to visit and check in offline.

Before long, it was their turn in the line.

The shop assistant looked on with envy as he saw Lin Ba arrive with two beautiful women on either side of him.

Then, a smirk appeared on his face, and he hatched a prank.

As usual, he scooped out a mint chocolate ball, placed the cone steadily on it, and then waited with a smile for Lin Ba to reach out.

But Lin Ba is no ordinary person.

Before the young man could retract his pole, he felt a sudden blur before his eyes.

The ice cream was now firmly in Lin Ba's hands.

The shop assistant was clearly taken aback. He looked down at the stick in his hand, then at Lin Ba, looking completely bewildered.

Lin Ba ignored him and casually handed the ice cream to Gu Zhi Qiu:

"Senior, have an ice cream to calm your nerves."

"Thank you, junior."

Gu Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up. After taking it, she stuck out her little tongue and licked it, revealing a satisfied expression.

The customers queuing behind couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

"Good heavens, I didn't even see how he made his move!"

"Did the clerk go easy on him? He teased that person three times just now."

"It doesn't look like he's being lenient. Look at the guy's expression; he's clearly bewildered."

Gu Zhi Qiu, with an ice cream in her mouth, blinked her eyes curiously and asked:

"Junior, you're too fast! I saw several customers ahead of me being completely fooled by the staff."

Su Shushuang, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but glance at her.

She had been watching closely, but she hadn't seen when Lin Ba snatched the ice cream.

"I'll tell you when we get back."

Lin Ba gave a perfunctory reply, then turned to the shop assistant who was still staring blankly behind the counter.

"Hello, two more, please."

The shop assistant snapped out of his daze, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

That was definitely an accident; he slipped!

He took a deep breath, reloaded the second ball, placed the cone firmly, and stared intently at Lin Ba's hand.

This time he was determined to pull back as soon as Lin Ba made a move.

However, as soon as he pulled back with his fingers, the other end of the pole became empty again.

The ice cream is gone again!

When he looked up again, the ice cream was already in Lin Ba's hand.

Lin Ba handed the ice cream to Su Shushuang:

"Sister Shushuang, this is for you."

Su Shushuang took it, thanked her, took a bite, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

The shop assistant was completely dumbfounded.

He's worked here for three years, and he's cheated at least a thousand customers. No one has ever been able to steal an ice cream from him without him giving them any leeway.

Today was even worse; twice in a row, I couldn't even see Lin Ba's hand shadow clearly.

At this moment, laughter and applause erupted from the back of the line.

"Wow, no wonder he brought two pretty girls with him, he's got some skills after all!"

"I didn't see it clearly, I didn't see it clearly either time!"

"The shop assistant is probably going to have an existential crisis today."

Seeing that the other party was still standing there in a daze, Lin Ba kindly reminded him:

"There's one more."

"Okay, boss...right away!"

The shop assistant then snapped out of his daze and mechanically began making the third ice cream.

This time, he dug the ball out and put it in the tube, then respectfully handed it to Lin Ba with both hands, without any extra movements.

After all, once is an accident, but twice is not.

He was completely convinced by Lin Ba.

Lin Ba took the last ice cream, took a bite, gave the clerk a friendly smile, and then left with Gu Zhi Qiu and Su Shu Shuang.

The shop assistant was left questioning his existence...

Lin Ba walked between the two women, his face calm, but his eyes were scanning both sides with interest.

Su Shushuang ate her ice cream in small, even bites, as if she were completing a standardized task.

Gu Zhi Qiu, on the other hand, was completely different.

She stuck out her tongue and slowly licked around the outermost layer of the ice cream, then probed little by little inwards...

She didn't even notice the little bit of melted cream on the corner of her mouth.

Lin Ba's gaze lingered on her lips for a moment before he smiled and spoke:

"Senior, your tongue is quite nimble."

"what?"

Gu Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then subconsciously responded.

Then, meeting Lin Ba's smiling eyes, she belatedly realized the unspoken meaning behind his words.

A faint blush rose to her cheeks again, and she gently patted his arm.

"Junior, you're so naughty!"

Lin Ba looked completely innocent and shrugged.

"What are you thinking, senior? I was just praising your ice cream-eating skills, why are you blushing?"

Gu Zhi Qiu was speechless at his innocent expression. She rolled her eyes at him and turned her face away in annoyance.

But he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

He pretended nothing happened after starting the fire; what a scoundrel.

Seeing Gu Zhi Qiu blush again, and recalling the scenes of the two studying together before, Lin Ba couldn't help but sigh that his senior sister was really sensitive.

Thinking of this, Lin Ba leaned closer and whispered something:

"But you've reminded me. Tonight I'll see just how nimble your tongue is, senior."

After hearing this, Gu Zhi Qiu just silently lowered her head and ate her ice cream without saying a word.

Su Shushuang stood to the side the whole time, looking completely bewildered.

As she ate her ice cream, her gaze kept lingering on the two of them.

Unable to understand at all, she finally blurted out a sentence with a blank expression:

"What kind of code are you using?"

Lin Ba and Gu Zhi Qiu were both stunned for a moment.

Lin Ba turned his head and replied to her in a serious tone:

"Nothing much, just exchanging tips on how to eat ice cream."

Su Shushuang fell silent. She felt that couldn't be the meaning behind it; the two of them were definitely hiding something from her...

However, since the other party refused to say, she was too lazy to press for details and risk making a fool of herself.

More than the ice cream in her hand, Su Shushuang was curious about the speed at which Lin Ba had moved his hand in front of the ice cream stand.

Although she was confident she could do it.

But the problem is!

She didn't even see how Lin Ba made his move.

She remained silent for a moment, but couldn't help herself and turned her head to glance at him:

"Lin Ba, that speed of yours just now... was it specially trained?"
