“Xiaochu, how can you behave like this?” Ning Xia felt embarra.s.sed hearing Lin Xiaochu’s tone. She then turned to Yun Jian and spoke up apologetically, “I’m sorry, Yun Jian. Xiaochu’s always been like this. Don’t mind her.”
“Who’s minding who? Ning Xia, whose friend are you? Whose side are you on, huh!” Lin Xiaochu shrieked angrily when she heard what Ning Xia said.
Yun Jian narrowed her eyes. She had a decent impression of Ning Xia but this girl named Lin Xiaochu… She did not even want to be bothered with her the moment she saw her.
“I…” Although Lin Xiaochu was Ning Xia’s friend, she had put her in a dilemma.
It was during then a girl spoke up in Chinese that did not sound quite accurate, “S-stop arguing. I can understand a little bit of Chinese.”
Yun Jian turned back slightly to see Elisha who donned a cloak and had covered her face from the bridge of her nose with it, leaving only two inky eyes, spoke up.
Elisha could understand and speak Chinese? Yun Jian was not too surprised by it but Ning Xia, Lin Xiaochu and their companions were.
Lin Xiaochu, especially, glanced at Elisha in surprise before shouting at her after she recovered from the shock, “You can speak Chinese?”
“My… grandmother is from Country Z, so I know a l-little bit of Chinese,” Elisha answered slowly in an unfamiliar tone.
“Why didn’t you speak up earlier when you can speak Chinese? You’re doing it on purpose!” Lin Xiaochu cried.
“On purpose? What does it mean? I can only speak a l-little bit.” Elisha could only speak a little Chinese, so she could not completely understand what Lin Xiaochu said.
“Hi, we’d like to stay here.” Just when Lin Xiaochu was going to keep lashing out, a guy who was tall with above average looks stepped out to dissolve the awkwardness.
“Sure.” Understanding what he said, Elisha proceeded with the procedure for Ning Xia and her group to check in.
Yun Jian could clearly see Lin Xiaochu reeling in her insolent att.i.tude once the guy who stepped up to resolve the tension spoke. She had even looked up at the guy wearing a shy girly expression.
After the guy took care of the check-in procedure, he went to Yun Jian to introduce himself and asked, “Hi, I’m Hu Qirui. I apologize on behalf of my junior who was rude to you just now. I’d also like to ask if you’re alone? Are you planning to go to the catacomb like us too?”
There was only one catacomb within eight miles in radius here. Foreigners who came usually had the catacomb as their destination.
“I’m not alone,” Yun Jian answered only the first question.
Lan Su and Ya Dang were taking a rest upstairs, causing Hu Qirui to a.s.sume that Yun Jian was on her own.
“Senior Rui, this girl obviously can’t be bothered with us. Why do you care?”
Lin Xiaochu glared at Yun Jian who spoke to Hu Qirui but since she was speaking to the guy, her voice was sweet with an intentional cutesy squeak.
Hu Qirui opened his mouth but said nothing ultimately.
Elisha then told Ning Xia, Lin Xiaochu and their friends what she had told Yun Jian earlier, regarding the lack of safety in Hasa Village. Upon listening to Elisha, Lin Xiaochu felt proud out of the blue as she looked at Yun Jian and bragged, “The five of us aren’t scared. We’re in our university’s Taekwondo club!”
Lin Xiaochu took a pause before boasting even more proudly, “Oh, right, Senior Rui is a third Dan Taekwondo black belt expert! With him here, the person won’t be his rival even if someone really dares come!”
