Chapter 44 – Love is Bittersweet 2 (2/2)
“Really?”
“Really!” Lin Xiao nodded vigorously.
This young lady was tricked pretty easily.
“Hey… Lin Xiao, you’re a weirdo.” Rosie suddenly changed the subject.
“Ah?” Suddenly mentioned him, Lin Xiao was derailed a bit.
“Am I wrong? You saved me, yet I didn’t thank you, but lashed out and got angry at you.” Rosie’s soft tone made one’s heart ache, and the appearance of a tear-stained beauty was heartbreaking, “Yet you were still willing to make a special trip to comfort me, you’re so nice to me… Lin Xiao, do you like me?”
“…” Lin Xiao almost choked.
Something is not quite right, this Rosie seems to have misunderstood something!
“Lin Xiao, you saved me, I’m very grateful to you, I’ll definitely remember this in my heart, but please give up…” Rosie was like a shy quail, squirming and saying ambiguous things.
Lin Xiao couldn’t keep up with Rosie’s thinking.
Seeing that he wasn’t saying anything, Rosie continued to talk to herself: “Lin Xiao, you’re very outstanding, oh… actually not that outstanding… not that handsome, not that manly… Ah, no, I didn’t mean it like that. I mean… the person I like is actually Caesar, so I’m sorry, Lin Xiao, I won’t like you!”
Rosie closed her eyes, and was blushing, she did not dare to look up, for fear of seeing Lin Xiao’s heartbroken eyes.
“Sorry, we are not suitable!” she said.
“Pu… hahaha.”
Sad? Un, Lin Xiao was really sad now —— because for the first time ever, the expressionless Elena was amused, she was standing next to him while covering her mouth and almost laughing to the point of crying, the rejected Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was helpless, he didn’t know what kind of posture and expression to use to accept this nice guy card.
This was the reason why he was not willing to save Rosie! Once he gets entangled in a complex love triangle, it was difficult for him to get out again!
“I say Missy, aren’t you getting overly conceited?” Lin Xiao’s expression was as uncomfortable as if he ate a bug. “I never said I liked you though?”
“Is that so? But you came to look for me, didn’t you just want to take advantage of the fact that Caesar is ignoring me so that you can confess to me?”
“Un… of course not!” Lin Xiao was convinced by this girl’s imagination. “Actually, I came to discuss an important matter with you.”
Important thing… it’s not a confession?”
“No!”
“Oh…” Rosie awkwardly fiddled with her own hair, her eyes were evasive. “What? If you had something you wanted to say, hurry up and say it, do you want me to be misunderstood before you’re happy?”
“So it’s my fault again.” Lin Xiao bitterly smiled, and quickly got back on track, “Missy, join my team! I refused you before, but this time you can’t refuse.”
“Team? I can… but what do you want to do?” Rosie wrapped her long hair around her fingers and curiously asked, “Momm already left with the other students, and teacher Woos told us to stay in the camp. Even if I promised to team up with you, what do you want to do?”
“I want to find the Jackalwere leader and kill it!”
Lin Xiao’s remark was startling.
“Eh?” Rosie was stunned, and she stopped her fidgeting. “Are you joking? Even if I was willing to take risks with you, teacher Woos won’t allow us to leave…”
Although she didn’t understand why Lin Xiao made such a bold proposal, Rosie did not want to get involved.
Seeing her retreat, Lin Xiao quickly took out his trump card and launched the offensive!
“Who cares about him? Rosie, don’t you want to mend your relationship with Caesar?” Lin Xiao causally spoke those looming words.
Sure enough, after hearing Caesar’s name, Rosie instantly became interested.
“Un… what does this have to do with him?”
The fish took the bait!
“Hehe, Missy, haven’t you noticed yet?” Lin Xiao cleared his throat and played the role of a teacher. “Student Rosie! Question! What was Caesar’s grade in this time’s actual combat drill?”
“Answer! It was an A, teacher Lin Xiao!” Rosie cooperatively raised her arm up and tacitly started the quiz game with Lin Xiao.
“That’s right! Another question, what grade does Caesar want?”
“Answer, um… Is it an S? Teacher Lin Xiao…” Rosie’s hand was a lot lower this time.
“Yes, Rosie! An A cannot satisfy Caesar, his dream is to become a hero, so he must get a distinguished S-level score to prove his strength!” Lin Xiao stuck up his finger, “And now, the only way to get an S is to find and eliminate the Jackalwere leader before Momm and the other students!”
“Teacher Lin Xiao, you are right, but what about it?”
“Missy, use your brain! How could Caesar beat the Jackalwere leader just by himself? But if the three of us formed a team, the odds will increase greatly!” saying that Lin Xiao suddenly lowered his volume, and changed his tone, “Also, don’t you want to take this opportunity to mend your relationship with him and eliminate misunderstandings? At that time, you guys will have a lot of alone time!”
“Really? Mmm…” Rosie was shaken.
The last sentence that Lin Xiao said really got to her, this may be a great opportunity to improve their relationship!
“Well, I’ll go and ask him to see if he would like to team up with us! But if he still refuses to see me, or refuses me… then I can’t help it.” Rosie lost confidence and got quieter and quieter.
“Hehe, rest assured, the chauvinist Caesar definitely won’t refuse a cute girl!” Lin Xiao calmly cheered for her.
“Chauvinist? Cute girl? What are those?” Rosie tilted her head, her pink ponytail drooped onto her shoulder, very cute. (TN: In raws, slang was used for both terms)
