Chapter 207 I'm Not That Petty
Zhao Ruoxi looked heartbroken, betrayed by Ji Ran, and wailed as she ate, "Ranran didn't even tell me! I thought he was a good brother!"
"Could it be that they have a grudge?" Wang Liang asked, somewhat worried about Ji Ran's safety. Why wouldn't they say so if they didn't?
Ji Xingyi recalled the strange conversation between Ji Ran and Jiang Yu: "Perhaps it's not convenient to talk about it?"
No sooner had the words been spoken than the gossip's protagonist entered the restaurant.
Zhao Ruoxi interrogated the boy, demanding to know what he and Jiang Yu had done the previous night. Ji Ran blushed with embarrassment. But before he could come up with an excuse, he saw Jiang Yu walk into the restaurant arm in arm with Bai Chuchu.
Ji Ran instantly felt dejected, his gaze following Jiang Yu and Bai Chuchu, completely losing interest in answering Zhao Ruoxi's question.
Oh no! Ji Xingyi quickly raised his arm to cover his face. After drinking last night, Jiang Lin got angry and he couldn't coax him all night. He had completely forgotten to explain about Bai Chuchu.
Ji Xingyi had just breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bai Chuchu sit down at a table away from theirs when she caught Jiang Lin's gaze out of the corner of her eye. Ji Xingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt utterly dejected. Oh no, she'd been exposed again!
Bai Chuchu is blind, but Jiang Lin is not.
Ji Xingyi glanced cautiously at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin's smile grew even brighter.
Ji Xingyi looked nervous: "Let me explain."
Jiang Lin nodded and smiled: "Alright, I'll listen to your excuses."
After returning to the room and gathering together, Ji Xingyi reluctantly recounted to everyone what had happened the night before, as well as the information he had gleaned from Bai Chuchu.
Zhao Ruoxi's mouth formed an "O" shape: "You even managed to seduce an NPC?"
Ji Xingyi sighed and said, "Stop talking, or the sky will fall."
Jiang Lin clapped in response, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"Linlin." Ji Xingyi hurriedly reached out to pull Jiang Lin.
"You mean, she just grabbed your arm?" Jiang Lin smiled and pressed down on Ji Xingyi's shoulder.
With a snap, the arm was cleanly and efficiently dislocated.
Ji Xingyi groaned, not daring to resist or even make a sound.
"Luckily you didn't let her kiss you, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to bear it." Jiang Lin teasedly ran her fingertip lightly across the boy's cheek.
Zhao Ruoxi and Wang Liang silently shut up, looking up at the sky and the ground, not daring to look at the two of them at all.
Give it a chance, and you can carve out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with your toes.
"Um... how about we talk about something serious first?" Ji Ran was present at the time and had overheard most of Ji Xingyi and Bai Chuchu's conversation. He looked at Ji Xingyi with pity and then whispered to defuse the situation.
"I understand, it's all for passing the level, I'm not that petty," Jiang Lin replied with a smile, then put Ji Xingyi's arm back on in front of the three of them.
Zhao Ruoxi and Wang Liang's faces turned into the character "囧" (jiǒng, meaning awkward or embarrassed): Yes, so generous!
Ji Xingyi didn't dare to cry out in pain; she could only look at Jiang Lin with a wronged expression.
Jiang Lin remained unmoved and changed the subject: "If what Bai Chuchu said is true, and the Noah's destination is the Vislan Sea, this instance will definitely take longer than 5 days and 4 nights, and may last up to a month. We need to collect food and water resources in advance."
"I thought it was a game of rules, but after sleeping it off, it's turned into a resource war? Trouble..." Wang Liang sighed. "If we hoard too much at once, we'll definitely be discovered. Besides the five of us, there are 19 other players!"
"Players are easy to deal with, but those NPCs are the real pain!" Zhao Ruoxi slumped onto the sofa in a mournful mood.
"The three of you should try to stockpile supplies first. Ji Xing and I will go find the source of the infection. We'll meet at 8 p.m.," Jiang Lin said before getting up.
"Oh right, I have another clue." Ji Ran had almost forgotten about this, and quickly told him about the clue he had gotten from Jiang Yu last night.
