Chapter 156: Her Affectation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Yuan’s heart ached as she looked at Bai Xi. She knew how hard it was to be alone in the desert, so she held Bai Xi and looked at Yan Ruo with a condemning gaze. “How can you say that about Xixi? She didn’t do it on purpose. Who’d have thought that a scorpion would p.r.i.c.k her?!”
Lin Sen sneered, “She didn’t do it on purpose, but the scorpion’s venom has been cured. Even if it hurts, it shouldn’t be so painful that she can’t stand up.”
“Even so, you shouldn’t say that!” Zhao Yuan’s gaze flickered. She knew that Bai Xi was probably trying to get closer to Yan Ruo. She also understood, so she cooperated and said, “Yan Ruo, you’re the captain. In order not to delay the trip, please carry Xixi.”
“No need, no need. Best Actor Yan’s also very tired.” Bai Xi pretended to be guilty and shy. “Just leave me here. I don’t want to delay everyone’s journey.” Although she said that, she knew that Yan Ruo would not leave her alone.
First, Bai Lin and the others were close to them. She might be eliminated, and Bai Lin would be rewarded, which would not be good for the battle.
Second, it was morally wrong. Abandoning an injured teammate was not Yan Ruo’s style.
Bai Xi was very confident, but more tears flowed down her face. She said that her teammates should leave quickly, but her actions and expression conveyed the opposite meaning.
Yan Ruo only looked at her, and his expression could not be said to be good or bad. Zhao Yuan could not guess what he was thinking and felt a little anxious. She urged, “Yan Ruo, you’re the strongest in our group, and you also got the highest score in the training camp. Now that someone in your group is in trouble, how can you just stand by and watch?”
When Fang Rong heard this, she laughed. “Then why don’t you let Li Yan carry her? He’s also a young and strong man.”
When Fang Rong spoke, she did not look at Li Yan. It was as if he was not her son but a stranger.
However, Li Yan could feel Fang Rong’s good intentions.
She knew that he liked Bai Xi, so she helped him find an opportunity to get close to Bai Xi.
He could not help but laugh. Although his mother hated him on the surface, she was still considerate of him.
Li Yan’s confidence grew. He quickly went to Bai Xi’s side and looked at her. “Xixi, it’s okay. I can help you too.”
Bai Xi looked at him and sobbed, “Li Yan-gege, you’ve walked for so long. You must be tired. I won’t trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all,” Li Yan quickly replied.
He squatted down, his back facing Bai Xi, his hands behind his back, indicating for Bai Xi to come up.
But Bai Xi did not move.
As she cried, she looked in Yan Ruo’s direction. Her eyes were filled with tears, making people want to protect her.
[I don’t want to say it. Bai Xi does look very pure. If I forget all her bad points, or if I don’t watch the Traveler episodes before this, and only see her cry, I might be swayed.]
[Then she should be an actress, not come on Traveler. What’s the use of crying? She’s just a burden to the team.]
[Oh no, Yan-ge’s walking toward her. Is he really going to carry her?]
There was a full moon behind Yan Ruo. As the bright moonlight shone on his body, it added an oppressive sense to his already handsome face.
Li Yan, who was squatting at the side, glared at him unkindly. However, he had to admit that Yan Ruo was indeed more handsome than him.
He was a little scared. If Yan Ruo fought with him, he definitely would not be able to win. He quickly turned his head to say something to Bai Xi. “Xixi, I…”
“Collect some.” Yan Ruo interrupted Li Yan and handed the water bottle to Bai Xi. Under Bai Xi’s dazed gaze, he said coldly, “Don’t waste the water.”
Afraid that Bai Xi would not understand, he added, “You can collect your tears for Auntie Zhao to drink. We’ll leave first. You, Li Yan, and Auntie Zhao can catch up to us slowly. We’ll meet at the ruins.”
After Yan Ruo finished speaking, he turned around and left, looking extremely cold.
Bai Xi looked at Yan Ruo and the others leave in a daze. Her fingers clenched tightly, and the plastic bottle creaked.
[Hahahaha, Bai Xi can’t hold it in anymore!]
[As expected of my Yan-ge. He can switch seamlessly between a cold man and a warm man. If it were Bai Lin, he would’ve carried her like a princess.]
[I’m dying of laughter. If it were my Lin-jie, she wouldn’t have been injured at all..]
