Chapter 157: Chasing Him Away
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xi stopped pretending.
She rubbed her ankle, and when she could no longer see Yan Ruo and the others, she said gently, “Li Yan-gege, I feel much better. Shall we go and look for Yan-ge and the others?”
Before Li Yan could speak, Bai Xi stood up and walked forward with Zhao
Yuan.
Zhao Yuan held Bai Xi. Li Yan did not know what the mother and daughter were talking about, leaving him alone. He was stunned for a few seconds and felt very uncomfortable.
What happened to Xixi? Why did she not wait for him and leave directly?
Moreover, they had not been close for a long ti. Bai Xi seed to be deliberately avoiding him and distancing herself from him.
It seed to have started after Fang Rong left the team.
Could it be that she saw him being reprimanded by Fang Rong and thought that he was no longer favored and had no value to be used?
But Xixi was so kind, and she treated him so well. How could she?
Li Yan shook his head and threw away the strange and disappointing thought. He hurriedly followed them.
Bai Xi’s team had many treasures, but in order to hurry along, Yan Ruo did not deliberately look for them.
By the third day, there was not enough food.
Yan Ruo decided to rest, and the few of them got their remaining food out to eat.
Li Yan’s food had all been given to Bai Xi. Now, he only had a gun and an inedible antidote. Looking at the people eating, he swallowed his saliva and went to Fang Rong. With a bitter face, he said, “Mom…”
However, he really did not know how to say this. He was a man, and he was not at the end of his rope. It was a little embarrassing to ask soone for food.
Fang Rong finished the last bite unhurriedly and glanced at him. “What’s the matter?”
Li Yan licked the dead skin on his lips and said with a little embarrassnt, “Mom, do you still have water? Let have a few sips.”
“Bai Xi has it.”
After saying these emotionless words, Fang Rong ignored Li Yan. Instead, she took her knife and looked for food with Yan Ruo nearby.
Lizards, scorpions, snakes, and all kinds of bitter and astringent plant juices… Their eyes shone now when they saw animals that they usually wanted to avoid upon seeing them.
These were all food, and there was nothing one could be picky about in the desert.
Li Yan also wanted to find so food, but he had never suffered since he was young, so it was difficult to convince himself to eat that kind of thing.
He moved closer to Bai Xi. “Xixi, do you still have water?”
Of course Bai Xi still did.
They happened to co by a treasure spot on Fan Feng’s treasure map one the way. After Li Yan found the food and water, he gave them all to Bai Xi.
He hoped to gain Bai Xi’s favor.
That basically equaled to food Li Yan had brought. There was nothing wrong for him to ask it back, but Bai Xi looked at him indifferently and said with so difficulty, “Li Yan-gege, you should know that the resources in the team are limited. Most of them have to be allocated by Yan-ge. If I give them to you, he’ll get angry.”
Li Yan was in disbelief. “But that’s what I found!”
Lin Sen sneered, “You have the nerve to say that. You stole them from Fan Feng. How did they beco yours?
“That’s because Fan Feng’s incapable! Since I’ve taken it, it should be mine.” Li Yan was indeed very thirsty. He said irritably, “Xiao Xi, Yan Ruo didn’t distribute your food, right? I see you guys are all eating your own food. Give the water first, I’ll tell him when he cos back”
Bai Xi hugged her bag and looked at Li Yan with a pitiful gaze. “Li Yan-gege, don’t be like this.”
Her attitude made it seem like he was so kind of evil person.
The frustration in Li Yan’s heart grew, but when he faced Bai Xi, he still said patiently, “Xiao Xi, be good and give the bag. I won’t eat too much.”
Bai Xi thought for a while, took their bags, and left the team with Li Yan. They went to a place where no one could hear their conversation.
Bai Xi gave him a bag of food and a bottle of water. “Li Yan-gege, eat quickly.”
As she spoke, she looked at where they ca from nervously, as if she was afraid that Yan Ruo would co back and find out that she had given Li Yan food.
Li Yan’s suspicions toward Bai Xi were all dispelled. He was so touched as he gobbled up the food, but his heart ached for Bai Xi who was so afraid of Yan Ruo. As he ate, he said, “Don’t worry, Xixi. I’ll protect you. I won’t let Yan Ruo bully you.”
Bai Xi seed to be very touched. She watched Li Yan finish eating quickly and then stuffed his bag into his hands.
Li Yan was stunned. “What’s the matter?”
“Li Yan-gege, you should return to Bai Lin’s team,” said Bai Xi..
