How could Wuxing not be worried after seeing his future wife argue with his friend that sneakily kissed him just a mont ago. He sped ran through the challenge as if it was a piece of cake before rushing to et them.
"Yes, we are fine, don't worry. We are adults," Katherine replied first, smiling at him. "I didn't want to lie to her anymore so I told her everything. She deserved to know our situation."
"What everything? What situation?" Wuxing questioned anxiously and imdiately turned to Dongi. "I can explain…"
He really cared about her so he wanted to make sure they were good. Even though it wasn't his fault, he didn't know what Katherine told her.
Thankfully, Dongi didn't begin from scolding so he was off to a good start. She gazed at him with complicated expression and suddenly dove into his embrace, hugging him tightly.
"I know already. She was the one who kissed you," Dongi described without much bla in her voice.
He sighed in relief, knowing he was safe and confird, "Yes, I'm the victim here."
"Oh, excuse ? So you are telling you didn't enjoy our kiss?" Katherine joined the conversation, pretending to be offended but one look at her smile and one could tell she was playing around.
"I was more shocked. I didn't even think about enjoying anything," Wuxing countered and commanded while kissing Dongi on the head. "Don't play around like this ever again. It is not healthy to our friendship."
He had to finally hit her with the friend-zone else knowing her character, she would continue to tease him. Katherine wanted to continue their banter yet Dongi changed the topic, asking as she looked up at him, "What do you think of Anna?"
"Anna? Why?" Wuxing questioned, not expecting she would ask about her.
"Just answer, please," Dongi pleaded, studying his face with a troubled expression before turning him to the side, allowing him to see Anna who was slowly returning to them. "Look at her and tell what you think of her."
Wuxing felt like he was being tested but he still followed her gaze. He saw a big smile on Anna's face as she hopped towards them happily. She was mostly cheerful the whole ti and aside from that one incident in the car, he didn't have much against her.
But what did he think of her? He never really thought too deeply about it.
"Well, she is a good friend of ours, right? Sa with Katherine and Scarlet. If I didn't consider them worthy to be our friends, I wouldn't create this group," Wuxing described, playing it safe. "Also, there is the matter of the event. We need to create a strong team and I think we did a good job. You don't like her?"
"No, that's not it. I was just asking to get your opinion." Dongi shook her head and concluded, "I personally have nothing against her. How about you? Do you like her?"
"I an… Yeah? I like her as a friend," Wuxing agreed, adding the last part just to be safe. "Will you finally tell what's up?"
She was definitely acting differently than normal and it wasn't hard to notice. Sothing must have happened between her and Katherine.
"Can we talk about it later? My mind is a bit confused and I still didn't figure out what I should do. It's best we talk after my thoughts are clearer," Dongi suggested, giving him a peck on the lips.
He took more than just one, trying to rewrite Katherine's kiss. "Just tell we are good," Wuxing muttered, holding her face. "I won't let you off unless you promise you are not mad."
"I'm not mad. It has nothing to do with you or at least nothing you can change. I promise," Dongi vowed and turned to Anna who just arrived. "Ready for dinner?"
Seeing Dongi's expression, Wuxing knew it had sothing to do with Anna. Although Dongi was smiling, he knew it wasn't her genuine smile.
"Yeah, I put all the challenges on pause. Many were unhappy and cursed you two but when I aid my sniper at them, they imdiately shut up. Haha, if only you could see the look on their faces. Priceless," Anna described in laughter, joining them. "Dongi, your run was amazing. I'm impressed."
Dongi finally released him and Anna took this chance to link her arms with her, turning on her gossiping mode.
"Thank you," Dongi acknowledged and suggested, "Shall we go? I'm little hungry."
"Yeah, let's grab Scarlet on the way," Anna suggested to which Dongi nodded.
She acted as if everything was okay which confused him.
'Devil Face, did you maybe hear what they talked about by any chance?' Wuxing questioned in his mind, too curious to wait till later.
'I didn't. I'm busy with my own girl so I don't have ti to spy on yours. Can't you handle her on your own? It's your woman,' Devil Face replied after a mont. 'If you don't mind, we are going on a dinner now so I hope you won't need for the next few hours.'
'…' Wuxing had no comnt to that and instead waited for Dongi to be dragged by Anna before asking Katherine, "What did you tell her. Co clean now."
Katherine didn't seem surprised and teased, "Will I get another kiss if I tell you?"
"Of course not. Your kiss was the reason for all of this. Don't think I'm done with you—" Wuxing scolded when Katherine cut him off, not interested.
"If you want sothing from , you have to pay for it with a kiss. Now, excuse . Girls are waiting for ."
She gave him a playful smile and ran off after the two, leaving him speechless.

"Hu… Hu… Big sis, I can't no more… You are killing …"
Scarlet muttered with hurried breaths as she laid on the ground, totally exhausted. She has been training for the past few hours and Ash didn't give her any mont of rest. The worst was the hot temperature that was killing her.
"We really need to work on your physique. We only went through the basics of self defense yet you are already out of breath," Ash comnted with a sigh, not even a bit tired.
"Big sis, please, give a little break…" Scarlet pleaded as she made sweet puppy eyes.
Because of the heat, she already took off her clothes, only wearing her sports bra and shorts she got from Ash.
"Alright, let get us sothing cold to drink and we will go eat sothing," Ash agreed, unable to withstand her cuteness.
It took her less than a minute to co back but Scarlet noticed sothing was different about Ash. There was a faint scheming smile on her face.
"Scarlet, you said you are a good actor right?" Ash asked curiously to which Scarlet nodded, "Yes, that's what Chaleon said. I should be a good spy."
"Mhmm, I have a test for you. I want you to act in front of Chaleon for . Can you do that?" Ash challenged. "It will show what are you skills."
"Oh, he is coming?" Scarlet imdiately stood up as if her energy returned and looked past their beach hut, trying to spot him. "I can't see him."
"They are at the door, asking to take us for a dinner," Ash explained and repeated, "Can you do it?"
"Yes, I can," Scarlet didn't hesitate and nodded excitedly, much confident with her acting skills than fighting.
Ash smiled at that and leaned over, whispering, "I want you to act like his jealous girlfriend, hug him, looking into his eyes and call out, 'I missed you! You dummy, dummy! Don't forget about your little bunny!' What do you think?"
"That's it? Easy!" Scarlet replied happily, never rejecting the chance to hug Wuxing and rushed back towards the house.
She saw his smile when their gazes t and rushed towards him, jumping into Wuxing's arms. She squeezed him as hard as she could while pouting and called out while looking up, "I missed you! You dummy, dummy! Don't forget about your little bunny!"
Wuxing's eyes widened from surprise for a second before he returned to normal, patting her head with a smile, "I didn't forget about you little bunny. How was your training?"
Scarlet turned to Ash to see if that was what she wanted but Ash didn't look at her, instead, she gazed at Wuxing with confused expression. She decided to continue her act, able to bla everything on Ash later.
"Our training was tiring but I learned a lot. What about you?"
