Chapter 47 Ruthless
"Truly worthy of being called a Fake Phoenix." Lizzy sneered. "Of course, this test is ant for us to show our determination and patience. Not many people know how to catch a fish and most importantly, not many people have the patience for it. Aren’t these two necessary skills that we can bring to college?" Lizzy’s voice was extrely loud, making the other youths turn their heads towards her. However, she was not planning on stopping. "Li Yue, don’t take this the wrong way. Brother Li ca from the prestigious Mo Family. If you really want to be with him, it is best that you show us you can beco one of us, even if you don’t really have the blood of the rich and influential!"
Li Yue sneered inwardly. On the outside, her face still looks dumb as she stared at Lizzy’s face in daze. By now, she already knew that sothing was wrong with this woman. "Do you— Do you like Mo Li?" she asked. Her question imdiately made Lizzy blush.
"We grew up together! I like him as a friend.Of course friends protect each other from sketchy people like you!" Lizzy answered almost imdiately while observing Mo Li’s reaction. To her disappointnt, Mo Li didn’t have any trace of reaction. He just stood there as if they weren’t talking about him. However, the fact that Mo Li didn’t refute her previous words that they grew up together still made her hopeful.
"Oh..." Li Yue nodded. "Then no. I am not betting with you." She turned her back away and started walking away from Lizzy Lu. As a woman, she already knew that Lizzy liked Mo Li. So she walked a few feet away from her, giving the woman a chance to interact with Mo Li. She was hoping that Lizzy would stop pestering her and would just talk to Mo Li instead.
But how could Mo Li allow such a thing to happen? He imdiately followed Li Yue and ignored Lizzy who was standing in daze. "Why didn’t you make a bet with her?"
"We have canned goods." Li Yue said. Who needs fish when they have canned goods? Li Yue didn’t have any plans to join this contest at all. Wasn’t that a waste of energy? Moreover, she truly had no idea how to catch a fish! "That Lizzy Lu likes you. In the future... you should say hi to her so she doesn’t pester ." She uttered. In response, Mo Li let out a low chuckle.
"If I say hi to everyone who likes , I would probably have to spend my whole day saying hi to everyone."
Li Yue ignored the other’s words. "We need to hide while eating."
"Why?"
"I don’t want to catch a fish." With everyone catching a fish at the sa ti, there was no way that everyone would get a catch. Unless of course, they move to a different location which was highly unlikely. "That Lizzy Lu is also very suspicious." Li Yue suddenly said. She could not help but feel sothing was wrong with that woman. However, she had no way of knowing what it was. All she had was so sort of bad instinct— sothing that she also felt when she t Sun Fengmian. "Hey, do you think your step mother is also weird too?"
"Everyone around is weird." Mo Li answered seriously. Even this rat is weird too. The two maintained their silence until they reached a boulder that was enough to hide two people, the two imdiately started eating the canned goods that Mo Li had brought with him while maintaining their silence.
By now, the two seed to understand each other’s temperant and fell into their own thoughts. After a few minutes, they left the boulder and went back to where everyone was standing to watch a show. When they arrived, the people who were catching fishes by the river were still there, trying to use every thod that they could think of. So were using makeshift bows and arrows while so were trying to catch a fish using their hands.
So of these students were of course trained in martial arts. Therefore, their body was good and energetic. Coupled with the excitent that they felt for this adventure, their voices soon occupied the river. However just as Li Yue had expected, not one of them was able to catch a fish. That was of course with the exception of Li Weiwei and Xia Jin as well as a couple of students who were smart enough to stay away from the group and fish in the different parts of the river.
In the end, so students ate the food that they brought in their bags while so seed to beco Li Weiwei and Xia Jin’s best friend and shalessly asked the couple for the fish that they caught.
"Aren’t you jealous?" Mo Li suddenly asked.
"Aren’t you being so talkative today?" she countered and drank so water. On the outside, her appearance looked lazy and casual. However, Li Yue’s eyes were very vigilant. She had been observing everyone around them, trying to see if soone was planning to attack the young master next to her. After that encounter with Lizzy Lu, Li Yue imdiately concluded that Sun Fengmian must have sent that woman to provoke Li Yue. After all, Lizzy imdiately ntioned that she and Mo Li were close.
That is proof enough that she was close to Sun Fengmian too.
However, that incident only made Li Yue more resolute to protect this man sitting next to her. She needed to accomplish her quest this ti and to do that, Li Yue already convinced herself that being ruthless might be the only way to do that. Speaking of ruthlessness.... She eyed Lizzy who was sitting a couple of ters away from them.
She needed to start with that woman.
