Lu Shi and Tian Meiâs 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. âBig brother, I want to enjoy the scenery.â
âAlright,â Jing MO settled next to her.
Seeing them pause, Lu Shi frowned, âWhy are we stopping?â
âWeâre admiring the view, â Xia Xin replied nonchalantly.
Lu Shi forced a smile, hoping to share in the appreciation of the beauty before them. âIndeed, itâs quite lovely over there.â
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. âXia Xin!â Lu Shi called out, prompting her to finally look his way.
âArenât you here to see the scenery?â Lu Shi asked.
âYes,â Xia Xin said simply, then turned her attention elsewhere. freewebnove l.com
Lu Shi was seethingâshe was completely ignoring him! But he refused to be dismissed so easily. Plopping down beside her, he declared, âIâll join you.â But Xia Xin abruptly stood, pulling Jing MO to his feet, and marched off.
Lu Shiâs forced smile stiffened. His temper flared as he addressed Xia Xin, âDo you have something against me?â
âMe?â Xia Xinâs surprise was evident as she pointed to herself. âWhat makes you think that?â
âWhy 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?â Lu Shi questioned.
Xia Xin sighed, âHow could he even think that.â
She laid it out plainly. âLook here, Superstar Lu Shi, weâre rivals in this game. You walking with us? Iâm 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.â
Before Lu Shi could retort, Xia Xin added, âAs for stopping because of you? I canât see behind me, so how could I know you were there? And of course, Iâd move on when you talk about sceneryâI canât let you beat us, can I?â
Xia Xinâs flippant but logical response left Lu Shi at a loss for words.
Tian Mei couldnât help but interject, âXia Xin, youâre too pragmatic. Weâre all here together for a reason; we should be helping each other.â Xia Xinâs laughter broke out, leaving Tian Mei puzzled. đ»đđđđđđ·đŻâŽđ·đđ.đâŽđ
âWhy are you laughing?â Tian Mei demanded.
âYou talk of mutual aid? Expecting me, whoâs well-prepared, to assist someone
lacking basic life skills? Are you sure itâs mutual help and not just piggybacking
off my efforts?â Xia Xin asked bluntly.
Tian Mei paled, her body wavering as she opened her mouth to speak, but Xia
Xin didnât let her, âDonât come any closer, lest you faint and try to pin it on me. There are plenty of paths here. Pick any, just not mine. Iâm not so charitable!â
[Wow, Xia Xin is so cool!]
[Sheâs awesome! And pretty! Ugh, I mean⊠sheâs 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, âYou know we werenât prepared enough, and soâŠâ
Xia Xin cut Lu Shi off mid-sentence, âNo, your lack of preparation is your problem, not mine. Iâm under no obligation to help you.â
Xia Xin then gestured to Tian Mei, âSince youâre unprepared, you might as well quit this game. Donât worry about losing face; after all, your teammate has just said Iâm being pragmatic.â
Lu Shi was fuming but struggled to maintain a pleasant facade.
âI wasnât asking for help, just to borrow something. I hesitated earlier, which led to those misunderstandings. Youâve lent buckets to Xu Zhi and the others, proving youâre kind-hearted and helpful.â
âSo, if I donât lend to you, Iâm suddenly heartless and unhelpful?â Xia Xin challenged back..
