Chapter 381 - ON THE CRUISE SHIP (II) (2/2)

”They probably wouldn't be on the Wild Land anymore,” Catnip said. ”Which area should we go next to find them?”

Bai Ze was about to answer but then stopped. Why did it feel like she was more enthusiastic in finding Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan than them? He immediately thought of the captain of team Sirens which Catnip belonged to.

He narrowed his eyes at her. ”You're showing quite an interest in our captain. You're not trying to spy on him for your captain, right?”

The cat-girl suddenly had a bewildered look. It's because Xia Li wasn't sure how the conversation made a sudden curve like that. Was it because of what she said about finding YUN and Noctis? But that's only because she was looking forward to gathering new materials! Did it come off as her being interested in YUN? But then how did it turn out into her spying for her captain?

”I'm not. Why would you even think that?” she asked, truly curious.

Bai Ze scoffed. ”Doesn't she like our captain?”

Xia Li was a bit surprised hearing that. She didn't know that it was common knowledge now that team Siren's captain liked YUN. Remembering her captain, she couldn't help but feel a bit pitiful. Zhu Lian received quite a bit of shock after that last time she met YUN at Yuexing Pavilion. She was dejected for a couple of days before bouncing up again.

Her sister, Zhu Jingyi, became even more pissed at YUN because of that. But in Xia Li's opinion, it's good that their captain had that encounter. Maybe it would help her realized that pining for someone who didn't share the same affection would only lead to heartache. Especially for her case since she couldn't really express her feelings properly. It might even help her grow.

”I don't want to talk about my captain's personal feelings. That's her privacy and everyone should respect it. Including you,” she said in a stern tone.

Bai Ze scratched his fluffy red-orange hair. Hearing that, it seemed like Catnip really had no intention to spy on his friend. ”Sorry if I overstep.”

”It's good that you know how to apologize.” Xia Li nodded in approval. ”But why didn't you think that I was aiming for YUN? Certainly, that would be what most would think?”

Bai Ze froze. That definitely didn't cross his mind. But now that she mentioned it, there's certainly a possibility of that. For some reason, he didn't like that kind of possibility.

He looked at Catnip. ”Are you interested in my captain?”

Xia Li stared at White Marsh's weird expression. It's like he had eaten something bitter that he just wanted to spit it out but he still had to swallow it down. The expression was so comical that she burst out laughing.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bbl%5D_13719703905965805/on-the-cruise-ship-(ii)_50581873163822289 for visiting.

”Of course not,” she said while still laughing. ”You guys just looked like you have to find him and the moon elf as soon as possible that's why I said that.”

She just made up an excuse. How could she tell him that it's because she's a fujoshi and she's been shipping his two team mates?

Bai Ze looked at the girl's unbridled laughter. He had the urge again to poke that cute dimple. He just looked away to stop that urge. He didn't doubt what she said. Because if she was really interested in Shen Ji Yun, when they partnered up with him during that birthday event task, she should have done everything to get close to him. Because that way, she would be able to interact with Shen Ji Yun through her connection to Bai Ze.

But she didn't. She didn't even mention him. In fact, she asked more about Luo Yan instead. That alone was enough to show that she's really not interested in Shen Ji Yun.

He felt relieved realizing that.

He stopped. Why was he feeling relieved because of that?

He shook his head and just said something he's been wanting to ask since earlier, ”By the way, can I know your real name?”

Xia Li was slightly surprised by this sudden request. ”Only if you tell me yours.”

Bai Ze grinned widely when he heard that. ”I'm Bai Ze.”

Xia Li grinned back. ”Xia Li. My name is Xia Li.”
