Lu Yinxing said, "Yesterday my brother had food poisoning. I found a poisonous mushroom in his vomit. I want to know where this mushroom ca from."
Everyone was shocked.
How could this happen?
Xia Ye got food poisoning?
No wonder he looked so unwell last night.
Mai Xiaoqi said, "We all ate the sa food last night, so how did he get food poisoning?"
Lu Yinxing said, "That’s where the problem is. No one else was poisoned, only my brother was. What does that imply?"
Everyone had their suspicions.
It must have been intentional.
But who could it be?
So people’s gaze fell intentionally or unintentionally on Yao Xiaoqiang.
Xia Ye was cold by nature.
He had little interaction with others throughout.
But the only one who had a fierce conflict with him was Yao Xiaoqiang.
Before everyone could question him.
Yao Xiaoqiang actually stepped forward on his own.
Yao Xiaoqiang directly admitted, "It was ."
Everyone was even more shocked, but also surprised that Yao Xiaoqiang admitted it so readily.
Zhou Ying had the closest relationship with Yao Xiaoqiang.
He couldn’t believe it either: "Xiao Qiang, why did you do this?"
Yao Xiaoqiang said, "I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I can’t stand him bullying Lin Zhi. Who does he think he is, always acting superior? Just because he’s a genius, does he get to look down on others and trample on their dignity?"
Actually, this reason wasn’t surprising to anyone.
It was all because of Lin Zhi.
Lu Yinxing had also guessed it.
Lu Yinxing and Yao Xiaoqiang were classmates.
They had a good relationship usually.
But in Lu Yinxing’s impression,
Yao Xiaoqiang was a sunny boy, how could he do such things behind the scenes.
Love really can change a person, even if it’s just a crush.
No one spoke at this mont.
But the focus was on Lin Zhi and Xia Ye.
After all, these three people were directly involved.
Lin Zhi’s expression wasn’t good either.
Lin Zhi slowly walked to Yao Xiaoqiang.
Nobody knew what Lin Zhi wanted to say to Yao Xiaoqiang.
In fact, Lin Zhi had already drawn a line with him the day before.
Yao Xiaoqiang’s actions now might not even be appreciated by Lin Zhi.
And it might further strain the relationship between Lin Zhi and Xia Ye.
So, no one knew how Lin Zhi would handle this matter in the end.
But at that mont, Lin Zhi suddenly raised her hand.
A slap landed on Yao Xiaoqiang’s face.
Everyone was completely stunned.
A crisp sound echoed.
Even Yao Xiaoqiang couldn’t believe what just happened.
He widened his eyes, dumbfounded at Lin Zhi in front of him.
Lin Zhi’s voice was cold, with a distant indifference: "Yao Xiaoqiang, how many tis do I have to tell you, stay out of my business. We have nothing to do with each other. What gives you the right to interfere in my affairs? This slap is just a warning for you to stop ddling. In my eyes, you’re nothing, so don’t waste your energy. No matter what you do, I won’t be grateful."
Everyone was quite surprised.
Lin Zhi’s move seed too cruel.
After all, everyone could see that Yao Xiaoqiang was devoted to her.
But on second thought.
Lin Zhi made the right decision.
This kind of unrequited love is most afraid of indecision, giving others the wrong impression.
Lin Zhi is a smart person.
Her actions, first of all, state her position in front of Xia Ye.
Secondly, she likely wanted Yao Xiaoqiang to give up completely.
Yao Xiaoqiang’s face was already red on one side.
He looked at Lin Zhi, eyes filled with hurt.
Yao Xiaoqiang said, "I understand. I’ll leave now."
Yao Xiaoqiang intended to leave imdiately.
But Zhou Ying pulled him back.
Zhou Ying said, "Where do you think you’re going alone? You can’t just walk out of here. What if sothing happens?"
As the leader, Mai Xiaoqi couldn’t let any team mber be in danger.
Despite the unforeseen problems along the way.
But Yao Xiaoqiang seed determined to leave.
No one knew what to do.
Just when everyone was at a stalemate.
Xia Ye suddenly stepped forward.
Xia Ye said, "You poisoned and want to just walk away?"
The air around them froze instantly.
Seeing Xia Ye’s face, it seed this iceberg wasn’t planning to let this matter go easily.
Mai Xiaoqi grew more troubled.
One wave had not subsided, another rose again.
If these two boys started a fight here.
No one knew how it would end.
Clearly, after going down the mountain today, they would reach Devil’s Bay.
Clearly, their trip was almost over.
But now.
Mai Xiaoqi tried to diate.
Mai Xiaoqi said, "What if Xiao Qiang apologizes to you as he was just possessed by a mont of madness?"
Actually, Yao Xiaoqiang’s pride was already hurt.
What he did was indeed disgraceful.
It was unlike his usual character.
So when caught, he admitted it directly without excuses.
Since he admitted it, he was prepared to face any consequences.
Yao Xiaoqiang said, "What do you want?"
Xia Ye said, "An apology is too easy. Don’t you know that publicly poisoning soone can have legal consequences?"
Everyone’s expression worsened.
If this genius decided to press charges.
Things wouldn’t go away easily.
Now it even involves the law.
But everyone wasn’t surprised.
After all, it was Yao Xiaoqiang’s mistake.
And they’ve always been rivals.
No one could say if Xia Ye might take this opportunity to vent his emotions on Yao Xiaoqiang.
Lu Yinxing felt helpless beside them.
If his brother really got serious.
No one here could match him.
But Yao Xiaoqiang seed indifferent,
Yao Xiaoqiang said, "Whatever, if you plan to send to the police once we get back, it’s up to you. I’ve done it, and I won’t deny it. Do what you want. I only feel sorry for delaying everyone’s trip."
Xia Ye stared into Yao Xiaoqiang’s eyes.
Anyone would feel a chill up their spine under such a gaze.
Yao Xiaoqiang had never really faced Xia Ye like this before.
In Yao Xiaoqiang’s mind, Xia Ye was just a bit smarter than average and like an iceberg.
But Yao Xiaoqiang didn’t expect this iceberg to have such a strong presence.
Even without speaking, he felt a chill down his spine.
Yao Xiaoqiang unexpectedly felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to say sothing tough, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t utter a single word.
At this mont, Xia Ye suddenly spoke: "I’m not feeling well right now, all because of you, so I’m afraid I can’t go down the mountain on my own. You need to carry today."
When Xia Ye made this request, everyone was stunned.
It was quite unexpected.
But Lu Yinxing secretly felt relieved.
In reality, Xia Ye was giving Yao Xiaoqiang a way out.
According to Lu Yinxing’s understanding.
Xia Ye didn’t really want to make a fuss over this matter.
The reason Xia Ye said this was because he was worried Yao Xiaoqiang might leave the group alone.
If sothing happened then, no one would be responsible.
Yao Xiaoqiang is soone with a strong ego.
Just now, Lin Zhi said those things and even slapped him.
He was basically left in a place where he couldn’t show his face.
Moreover, he was discovered doing such a despicable thing, making it even more untenable.
Xia Ye’s approach was to give him a chance to make ands.
He naturally couldn’t refuse.
Yao Xiaoqiang said nothing.
But he didn’t bring up leaving again.
After everyone finished packing, they started to descend the mountain.
Yao Xiaoqiang truly carried Xia Ye down the mountain.
Xia Ye was also not polite.
He lay on Yao Xiaoqiang’s back and fell asleep.
Yao Xiaoqiang is a P.E. student, so his physical strength is much better than a normal person’s.
Thus, even carrying Xia Ye, he walked faster than the girls.
Xia Ye didn’t show any politeness.
The whole way he didn’t say he wanted to walk himself.
Everyone watched Yao Xiaoqiang carry Xia Ye with veins popping on his forehead.
They secretly marveled at how Xia Ye was quite the wolf.
However, on this journey, everyone still helped and supported each other.
Previously, Yao Xiaoqiang was most attentive to Lin Zhi.
But on this trip, the two of them hadn’t exchanged a single word.
Yao Xiaoqiang’s gaze occasionally lingered on Lin Zhi, but always carried a forlorn and sad expression.
Anyway, the matter seed to have concluded.
Except, Lu Yinxing sensed that there still seed to be sothing amiss within the group today.
It wasn’t because of Lin Zhi and Yao Xiaoqiang.
It was between Wu Wei and Wu ngng.
No matter the situation before, Wu Wei, though hard-mouthed.
He always looked after Wu ngng.
Plus, Wu Wei’s favorite thing was "bullying" Wu ngng.
But in Lu Yinxing’s eyes.
Wu Wei was simply trying to attract his sister’s attention.
Sotis, Lu Yinxing felt Wu Wei was quite childish.
Because he was just like himself.
Lu Yinxing also used various tricks since childhood just to catch Xia Ye’s attention.
So many tis, Lu Yinxing could see right through Wu Wei.
Today the atmosphere was definitely different.
Wu Wei walked at the front.
Wu ngng was at the back.
Before, Wu Wei always helped carry Wu ngng’s luggage.
But today he didn’t.
During the journey, Wu ngng accidentally fell.
Wu Wei didn’t even glance in her direction.
While treating Wu ngng’s wound, Lu Yinxing asked: "Did you have a fight with Wu Wei?"
Wu ngng kept her head down and didn’t speak.
Seeing Wu ngng’s deanor, Lu Yinxing knew he guessed correctly.
Lu Yinxing said: "Why? He’s been getting better recently, hasn’t he?"
After all, Lu Yinxing accompanied them through the ups and downs.
During the Night Emperor incident, Lu Yinxing was of great assistance.
So Wu ngng was genuinely grateful towards Lu Yinxing.
If Lu Yinxing asked, Wu ngng wouldn’t hide much.
But for this matter, Wu ngng didn’t know how to start.
Seeing she didn’t know how to start, Lu Yinxing didn’t press too much.
After the wound was treated.
Lu Yinxing said: "Give your luggage."
Before Wu ngng could stop him, Lu Yinxing had already taken her luggage.
Lu Yinxing carried the luggage to where Wu Wei was.
Wu Wei was sitting on a large rock resting.
But Lu Yinxing could see that his gaze kept drifting towards Wu ngng’s direction.
Clearly worried inside.
But outwardly pretending to be extrely cool.
Wu ngng’s luggage was a large backpack.
It was stuffed to the brim.
Lu Yinxing directly tossed the backpack at Wu Wei’s chest: "Where’s your gentlemanly deanor?"
Wu Wei snorted: "It’s not like I don’t have my own luggage, why are you giving hers?"
Saying that, he casually tried to toss the backpack away.
Lu Yinxing deliberately sighed loudly: "ngng’s leg wound is serious, we don’t have dicine here, no idea if it’ll get infected. In the city it would be fine, but here, you must know, if it gets infected, the most severe result might be amputation."
Lu Yinxing was purely bluffing, just to scare Wu Wei.
But Wu Wei seed genuinely spooked.
Wu Wei hugged Wu ngng’s backpack to his chest.
Then said to Lu Yinxing: "Aren’t you supposed to be a skilled doctor? Just a minor injury, how could it be so serious?"
Lu Yinxing continued to deceive: "Of course, it’s serious. There’s no antibiotics here, and the mountain environnt is damp, full of bacteria, very easy to get severely infected. We must keep going, in the worst case, it might really..."
Wu Wei suddenly stood up: "Stop talking about it, I’m taking her away, leaving now."
Actually, everyone else could tell Lu Yinxing was teasing Wu Wei.
But the person directly involved was confused.
Mai Xiaoqi joined Lu Yinxing saying: "Leaving now isn’t possible, you know this area is off-limits, there’s no rescue team nearby. Our only option is to reach Devil’s Bay and then walk ten kiloters until we get to a small village with one bus service a day to the station, but getting there will take two days."
For them sideways neither retreat nor advance would work, going back could take longer.
Continuing forward would still take at least two days.
Wu Wei was really panicked.
Wu Wei said: "So what now? Lu Yinxing, aren’t you a doctor of Chinese dicine? Think of sothing quick, isn’t there any herbal dicine in these mountains, as soon as you ntion it, I’ll definitely find it."
Seeing Wu Wei truly panicked.
Lu Yinxing didn’t want to deceive him any longer.
Lu Yinxing laughed: "You care about ngng so much, so why do you always act like she owes you five million?"
With the people around them laughing heartily.
Wu Wei realized he’d been tricked.
Showd an annoyed expression: "Lu Yinxing, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?"
Lu Yinxing pulled Wu Wei’s arm, making him sit: "Co on, we’re all siblings, talk it out."
Wu Wei couldn’t quite fend off feeling: "You and Xia Ye are siblings, too, I didn’t see him being nice to you along the way."
Xia Ye was actually next to Lu Yinxing.
Lu Yinxing quickly leaned on Xia Ye’s shoulder upon hearing that, saying: "Who says! My relationship with my bro is great."
While speaking, she teasingly flicked Xia Ye’s chin, piling up a face full of smiles: "Co on, bro, give a nice look."
This posture was openly flirtatious.
