“Chatting? You want to play monkey, but I don’t! Think of a way to save me!” She wanted to hit him; she really wanted to hit him.
“It’s simple, just tell Zhong San you love him. Isn’t that what he wants?” Ling Mao gave a cold laugh.
“The problem is…” She hesitated to continue.
“What’s the problem?” He asked quickly.
“The problem is that the person I like isn’t him…” Xu Xian’en said very quietly, extremely quietly, and her voice got even softer towards the end.
“Really? Who do you like then?”
I didn’t expect that Shuai Ben’s hearing was actually quite different from ordinary people; such a soft whisper could be heard crystal clear. Truly a marvel of the modern age!
“I… why should I tell you?” Her little face flushed completely red, and her heart rate sped up.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll just leave on my own!” Shuai Ben suddenly stood up, clapping his hands and looking at her with a mischievous grin.
“You…” Xu Xian’en was stunned. How did he… escape?
He pulled out something small, somewhat resembling a knife. “Here it is, let’s just say it’s a knife! The people here said it can cut many things, so I bought it. You have one too, for emergencies, and you must have forgotten!”
After freeing his feet from the ropes, Shuai Ben hurried to Xu Xian’en’s side. “Luckily, I felt something was off, so I bought two knives. Even if they weren’t used today, living in a place where we have no control, it’s always better to be cautious.”
“How did you buy it?” she was still in a daze.
“With a can, you don’t know how excited they get when they taste what’s inside. Just one can of sardines got us two knives, two bags of water, some clothes, fruits, and vegetables, oh, and a cow!”
The ropes on Xu Xian’en were quickly cut, and she burst into tears like a child, throwing herself into his chest.
“You big idiot! Why didn’t you tell me, making me worry half to death, huh—!”
