Chapter 103: Tourists (1)

Ye Xi and the others used the same method as before by retracing their steps and follow whatever tracks the last group left. They soon found Shang Guanxi and Bing Yiyi. Thankfully, the both of them didn’t go too far before finding a tree to rest on, this saved Ye Xi and the others a lot of time and energy.

After a brief conversation, the eight people finally reached a consensus.

However, they soon diverged.

The source of the problem lied in Bing Yiyi. She was extremely fragile. After walking a few steps, she would always complain that her feet hurt. Then, she kept saying she was tired, hungry, or thirsty the whole time.

Just when Ye Xi finally couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to scold her, Ding Xiuxiu beat her to the punch.

“Why do you have so many problems?”

For Ding Xiuxiu, a person who had always been spoiled and would be so ashamed she wouldn’t dare to go out after a little bit of embarrassment. After receiving the baptism of falling down a cliff, meeting possibly poisonous snakes, constantly stepping into puddles, eating a possibly poisonous fruit, being thirsty with no water around to drink, hungry with no proper food in sight, and tired, even her way of speaking became fierce.

At this moment, even though she had only spoken a simple sentence, she sounded much more dignified than when she was scolding people in school.

Bing Yiyi had never really paid any attention to Ding Xiuxiu, which was why being spoken to in this way caused her to get angry instantly. She rebutted, “Do you think I’m as rugged as you?”

Ding Xiuxiu sneered in response, she looked quite like Ye Xi right now. She then spoke to her in a very contemptuous tone, “Oh wow! So you think you’re so much more precious than us, huh? Do you think any of us aren’t as rich as you or hasn’t been loved by our parents?”

Her words were gradually becoming a little unreasonable. After all, they weren’t familiar enough to visit each other’s houses to play. How would they know whose parents loved them more?

But for the sake of translating it, she meant: Who isn’t a little princess here?

Ye Xi couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth upon hearing this. However, she also felt that laughing right now was a bit inappropriate, she tried her best to push it back down, and looked a bit just like Bing Yiyi who was furious at this moment.

Wei Shenglan and the others were all “gentlemen”, and normally, boys didn’t fight with girls. This was the main reason why none of them said anything, much less now that two girls were fighting each other.

And so, all of them stood at the side and enjoyed the show.

The one thing that bothered Bing Yiyi the most in her life was the fact that her family situation really was nothing much in comparison to these people. For Ding Xiuxiu to point that out in this situation was like spreading salt on her wound. She immediately got angry and said, “You think I wanted to go with you people?”

Ding Xiuxiu laughed. This action she portrayed was slightly arrogant and also filled with disdain.

Since Bing Yiyi couldn’t stand the humiliation, she ignored everyone else and turned around, taking a different path.

When Shang Guanxi saw her leave, he showed Wei Shenglan and the others a reluctant smile before following her.

It wasn’t until the two of them disappeared into the intricate woods did Ding Xiuxiu look at Ye Xi and voice out her thoughts, “Is Shang Guanxi sick in the head? How could he like a shrew like Bing Yiyi?”

Ye Xi looked at her, speechless. You two villains can stop biting at each other now, okay?

Ding Xiuxiu didn’t receive any reply and even got a questionable look from one of the others. She felt unsatisfied and it bothered her a lot, so she asked, “Am I wrong?”

Nan Gonghai chuckled. “Actually, Xiuxiu. You should think about how Ye Xi treated them in school before.”

Ding Xiuxiu’s cheeks turned red in an instant. She quietly walked at a corner and stopped talking. If she could go back in time, she would’ve taken back what she just said a minute ago.

However, thanks to Ding Xiuxiu’s blunder, the stiff atmosphere had become a bit less stressful now.

On the other side, after feeling very wronged, Bing Yiyi walked for a long time. Due to her anger, she couldn’t feel any pain in her legs or feet. By the time she cooled down, she stopped and turned around. As she expected, Shang Guanxi followed her. The last bit of anger in her mind finally disappeared.

No matter what others say, and no matter how they treat her, at least Shang Guanxi was still here.

Bing Yiyi’s year of isolation was completely soothed at this moment.

She sat down gracefully on the ground as she felt her body go soft. When she raised her head again, her eyes were misty.

Shang Guanxi’s heart felt sour. He went over to help her up, asking her, “Does your feet hurt?”

Bing Yiyi spoke softly, “Yeah…”

Shang Guanxi asked hesitantly, “Would you like me to carry you?”

Bing Yiyi nodded. “Yeah. Thanks, Ah Xi.”

Shang Guanxi smiled. “You don’t have to thank me.”

Bing Yiyi leaned over Shang Guanxi’s back and mumbled softly in his ears.

Since Shang Guanxi felt a little itchy, he tried to scootch away.

When Bing Yiyi saw his ears turn red in an instant, she felt a little pleased.

With how things were, there was a zero percent chance of her getting together with Wei Shenglan now. However… Shang Guanxi was fine too.

With this newfound determination set in her heart, her attitude towards Shang Guanxi had become more intimate.

The atmosphere during their walk was very ambiguous. Despite this, Shang Guanxi was very happy. He wasn’t stupid, naturally, he could see the small changes in how Bing Yiyi was treating him.

Even though Shang Guanxi was a guy and had way more strength than Bing Yiyi, he had been starving for quite some time, and he didn’t drink any water either. Carrying Bing Yiyi who was more than 120 pounds on his back still made him tired.
