163 IT IS A SURVIVAL GAME (2/2)

There was loud cheering and an ambience of excitement. The group left the hall and ended down a wide staircase and to a circular entrance. At the entrance, four attendants in black robes were handing out beautiful pistol crossbows. Though they looked authentic, their design was similar to laser guns.

When Zhong Feng and Hu Lei finally crossed the threshold, they found Song Lili and another girl in red robes in the hallway, obstructing their path.

”Hello, Hu Lei.” Song Lili greeted before turning to Zhong Feng. ”Feng'er, I didn't know that you were coming. Perhaps we could have come together.”

The friendly words attracted the gazes of the people around. Their eyes shone with a thirst for scandal and gossip. Even though photography was forbidden, Shun could do nothing about what they saw. Some were already thinking about how they could take advantage of this revelation.

”I don't think that we are on such familiar terms, Miss Song.” Zhong Feng responded coldly.

He was normally not bothered by rumours as long as they did not affect his life. However, he did not want Hu Lei to have a misunderstanding or even a doubt towards him. Furthermore, he did not want to be linked with other women, especially those who had a deeply plotting nature.

Song Lili looked dejected at the words, but she still smiled. Those who were watching subtly would believe that they were lovers who had had a disagreement. Song Lili looked like she had been wronged and was trying to stay strong. These people with a thirst for gossip leaned even closer.

”I am sorry. I just wanted to ask you to look out for my friend, Shishi. She is in the same team as you.” Her voice was calm but had a wisp of sadness.

”Miss Song, this is not a team sport. It's a survival game. Now, if you will excuse us…” Hu Lei looked at Song Lili as if she was looking at an idiot before walking away alongside Zhong Feng.

The gossipers were already filling in the gaps. Unfortunately, most people in this social circle judged by outward appearances. They decided that the famous Song Lili was the one who best matched the celestial Zhong Feng. Even though she only modelled in the west, she dealt with luxury products which were popular among second-generations in the country.

Since they did not know Hu Lei, they could only assume that she was a cheap woman who had gotten in between two well-matched people. This type of drama never got old. And naturally, most people were rooting for Song Lili who was watching those red-robed backs with palpable sadness.

”Don't worry, Lili. I will teach her a lesson for you.” Shishi felt sad when she realised how pitiful her beautiful friend looked.

Moreover, she knew that Song Lili had had a crush on Zhong Feng since she was a young girl. It must have been a blow for her to see him with another woman. Shishi made the entire matter extremely dramatic in her head, creating scenarios that did not exist.

”I am fine. You should just focus on having fun.” Song Lili pushed the girl to the direction of the red door before turning to the opposite direction.

This generous and forgiving behaviour made Shishi even more determined to help out her friend by teaching that shameless woman a lesson. Lili was obviously the one who deserved to be next to that inviolable godly man. What right did a nameless nobody have to hold his hand?
