Chapter 134 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 15 (2/2)
…CAN I GO ON STRIKE?! THE PLOTLINE HAS BECOME A DECORATION IN THE HOST’S EYES!’
‘Since Gao Anlang and Ji Xiaoyu are acquainted, regardless of what happens with the plot from now on, the situation isn’t looking too good.’
Gao Anlang was a bad seed from a young age. Drinking, whoring, gambling—all of these were common activities for him. And he particularly liked those girls who were young and pretty.
Because the Gao Family was powerful, he was able to do as he wished.
“Xiaozhi.” Lin Yin called out from afar, interrupting Shi Sheng’s thoughts. “How come you got up so early? Even the teachers aren’t up yet.”
“You didn’t rest well?”
There were dark bags under Lin Yin’s eyes, and though they’d been covered by makeup, Shi Sheng could still spot them.
Lin Yin’s face fell. “Ji Xiaoyu snored a lot last night. And she drools too…
There was only one bed in the room so I had to make do with the sofa.”
Lin Yin didn’t even want to think about last night’s trauma. It was an absolute torture.
“Rest a bit first. I’ll go get breakfast for you. Beauties have to always look their best!” After Shi Sheng had finished teasing Lin Yin, she went to where the food was being given out.
By the time she came back with breakfast, Lin Yin was already leaning against the table, fast asleep. Shi Sheng ate first. When more people started entering, the noise woke Lin Yin up and she gobbled down her breakfast.
……
After breakfast, everyone gathered up. Today they were heading into the mountains, where they would take part in wilderness activities.
The teacher highlighted the areas that they needed to pay attention to. Of course, the third years who had already gone through this before weren’t listening, so this explanation was for the sake of the first years undergoing their first time.
When Shi Sheng returned to her room to pack up, she met Uncle Jian and Fu Qin’s bodyguards.
Uncle Jian glared at Shi Sheng before reluctantly handing a box over to her.
“The Young Master’s medication is inside…” Uncle Jian then went on to spout a bunch of stuff for her to take note of.
“I—”
[Chain Quest 18: Spend the remainder of the camp with Fu Qin.] System issued the quest before she could finish.
‘—was only in charge of bringing him here… not babysitting him… System ah, you’re forcing me to take you apart here!’
She looked at the box in Uncle Jian’s hands and reluctantly took the medicine.
“Ms Bei, I’ll have to trouble you with the Young Master then.” Uncle Jian suddenly spoke seriously.
Shi Sheng, “…”
……
“Ze, what are you looking at? We have to leave already.” Ji Xiaoyu followed Bei Ze’s gaze and only managed to see a few black-clothed bodyguards clearly.
But…
‘Aren’t those Senior Fu Qin’s bodyguards?’
“Nothing. Let’s go.” Bei Ze helped Ji Xiaoyu with the stuff she was holding and walked away. Ji Xiaoyu glanced around between the bodyguards and Bei Ze’s departing back before jogging to catch up
Everyone split up into their groups again. Each group had three teachers following them as they split up and made their way into the mountains.
The path going into the mountains was even harder than the path for climbing up the mountains. As someone who had been born to a poor family, Ji Xiaoyu’s advantage became apparent; while all the other girls were complaining and helping each other along listlessly, she was still energetic.
Towards the end, even the guys were having a tough time.
“We’re resting for a bit now.” The teacher leading the group spoke. Upon hearing his words, everyone tossed aside any concept of preserving their image as they sat down on the muddy ground.
