Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Shi and Tian Meiβs actions had stirred up a storm of displeasure among the audience, all unbeknownst to them. At this moment, Lu Shi was scheming on how to subtly reveal his affection for Xia Xin.
Xia Xin and Jing MO, leading the way, could feel a cold, serpent-like gaze on their backs. She halted her steps and settled herself on the ground. βBig brother, I want to enjoy the scenery.β
βAlright,β Jing MO settled next to her.
Seeing them pause, Lu Shi frowned, βWhy are we stopping?β
βWeβre admiring the view, β Xia Xin replied nonchalantly.
Lu Shi forced a smile, hoping to share in the appreciation of the beauty before them. βIndeed, itβs quite lovely over there.β
Lu Shi gestured to a spot in the distance but Xia Xin, utterly unconcerned, simply sipped her water without even a glance in his direction. βXia Xin!β Lu Shi called out, prompting her to finally look his way.
βArenβt you here to see the scenery?β Lu Shi asked.
βYes,β Xia Xin said simply, then turned her attention elsewhere. freewebnove l.com
Lu Shi was seethingβshe was completely ignoring him! But he refused to be dismissed so easily. Plopping down beside her, he declared, βIβll join you.β But Xia Xin abruptly stood, pulling Jing MO to his feet, and marched off.
Lu Shiβs forced smile stiffened. His temper flared as he addressed Xia Xin, βDo you have something against me?β
βMe?β Xia Xinβs surprise was evident as she pointed to herself. βWhat makes you think that?β
βWhy did you stop when I approached, and decide to move on when I suggested admiring the scenery? Do you dislike us, or not want to walk with us?β Lu Shi questioned.
Xia Xin sighed, βHow could he even think that.β
She laid it out plainly. βLook here, Superstar Lu Shi, weβre rivals in this game. You walking with us? Iβm more concerned about you leeching off our hard work. Plus, my unique way of treating injured animals is a trade secret, not to be shared.β
Before Lu Shi could retort, Xia Xin added, βAs for stopping because of you? I canβt see behind me, so how could I know you were there? And of course, Iβd move on when you talk about sceneryβI canβt let you beat us, can I?β
Xia Xinβs flippant but logical response left Lu Shi at a loss for words.
Tian Mei couldnβt help but interject, βXia Xin, youβre too pragmatic. Weβre all here together for a reason; we should be helping each other.β Xia Xinβs laughter broke out, leaving Tian Mei puzzled. π»ππππππ·π―β΄π·ππ.πβ΄π
βWhy are you laughing?β Tian Mei demanded.
βYou talk of mutual aid? Expecting me, whoβs well-prepared, to assist someone
lacking basic life skills? Are you sure itβs mutual help and not just piggybacking
off my efforts?β Xia Xin asked bluntly.
Tian Mei paled, her body wavering as she opened her mouth to speak, but Xia
Xin didnβt let her, βDonβt come any closer, lest you faint and try to pin it on me. There are plenty of paths here. Pick any, just not mine. Iβm not so charitable!β
[Wow, Xia Xin is so cool!]
[Sheβs awesome! And pretty! Ugh, I meanβ¦ sheβs so good-looking!]
[I love her no-nonsense attitude!]
While Lu Shi bristled with anger, the cameras rolling meant he had to keep his composure. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he replied, βYou know we werenβt prepared enough, and soβ¦β
Xia Xin cut Lu Shi off mid-sentence, βNo, your lack of preparation is your problem, not mine. Iβm under no obligation to help you.β
Xia Xin then gestured to Tian Mei, βSince youβre unprepared, you might as well quit this game. Donβt worry about losing face; after all, your teammate has just said Iβm being pragmatic.β
Lu Shi was fuming but struggled to maintain a pleasant facade.
βI wasnβt asking for help, just to borrow something. I hesitated earlier, which led to those misunderstandings. Youβve lent buckets to Xu Zhi and the others, proving youβre kind-hearted and helpful.β
βSo, if I donβt lend to you, Iβm suddenly heartless and unhelpful?β Xia Xin challenged back..
