Chapter 195: Selfish Ambitions
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Shi and Tian Meiโs 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. โBig brother, I want to enjoy the scenery.โ
โAlright,โ Jing MO settled next to her.
Seeing them pause, Lu Shi frowned, โWhy are we stopping?โ
โWeโre admiring the view, โ Xia Xin replied nonchalantly.
Lu Shi forced a smile, hoping to share in the appreciation of the beauty before them. โIndeed, itโs quite lovely over there.โ
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. โXia Xin!โ Lu Shi called out, prompting her to finally look his way.
โArenโt you here to see the scenery?โ Lu Shi asked.
โYes,โ Xia Xin said simply, then turned her attention elsewhere. freewebnove l.com
Lu Shi was seethingโshe was completely ignoring him! But he refused to be dismissed so easily. Plopping down beside her, he declared, โIโll join you.โ But Xia Xin abruptly stood, pulling Jing MO to his feet, and marched off.
Lu Shiโs forced smile stiffened. His temper flared as he addressed Xia Xin, โDo you have something against me?โ
โMe?โ Xia Xinโs surprise was evident as she pointed to herself. โWhat makes you think that?โ
โWhy 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?โ Lu Shi questioned.
Xia Xin sighed, โHow could he even think that.โ
She laid it out plainly. โLook here, Superstar Lu Shi, weโre rivals in this game. You walking with us? Iโm 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.โ
Before Lu Shi could retort, Xia Xin added, โAs for stopping because of you? I canโt see behind me, so how could I know you were there? And of course, Iโd move on when you talk about sceneryโI canโt let you beat us, can I?โ
Xia Xinโs flippant but logical response left Lu Shi at a loss for words.
Tian Mei couldnโt help but interject, โXia Xin, youโre too pragmatic. Weโre all here together for a reason; we should be helping each other.โ Xia Xinโs laughter broke out, leaving Tian Mei puzzled. ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ท๐ฏโด๐ท๐๐.๐โด๐
โWhy are you laughing?โ Tian Mei demanded.
โYou talk of mutual aid? Expecting me, whoโs well-prepared, to assist someone
lacking basic life skills? Are you sure itโs mutual help and not just piggybacking
off my efforts?โ Xia Xin asked bluntly.
Tian Mei paled, her body wavering as she opened her mouth to speak, but Xia
Xin didnโt let her, โDonโt come any closer, lest you faint and try to pin it on me. There are plenty of paths here. Pick any, just not mine. Iโm not so charitable!โ
[Wow, Xia Xin is so cool!]
[Sheโs awesome! And pretty! Ugh, I meanโฆ sheโs 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, โYou know we werenโt prepared enough, and soโฆโ
Xia Xin cut Lu Shi off mid-sentence, โNo, your lack of preparation is your problem, not mine. Iโm under no obligation to help you.โ
Xia Xin then gestured to Tian Mei, โSince youโre unprepared, you might as well quit this game. Donโt worry about losing face; after all, your teammate has just said Iโm being pragmatic.โ
Lu Shi was fuming but struggled to maintain a pleasant facade.
โI wasnโt asking for help, just to borrow something. I hesitated earlier, which led to those misunderstandings. Youโve lent buckets to Xu Zhi and the others, proving youโre kind-hearted and helpful.โ
โSo, if I donโt lend to you, Iโm suddenly heartless and unhelpful?โ Xia Xin challenged back..
