[Humblebrag, what a humblebrag.]
[Well done, Lin-jie!]
[Bai Xi’s fans are going to die of anger, right? Nice little leopard disdains Bai Xi, but it listens to our Lin-jie so well. Maybe they know who has a good character and won’t let them go hungry?]
The corner of Bai Xi’s mouth twitched, and she said with implied meaning,
“Jiejie, are you afraid that the leopards will be closer to me?”
Bai Lin continued to lament, “Why would I? I’m so annoyed. It’d be great if you could get them to stick to you. When I was chopping firewood in the afternoon, they kept pestering me and insisted that I go see the small animals they caught.”
“You…”
Bai Xi’s expression became stiffer. She wanted to say something, but Bai Lin did not seem to notice that something was wrong as she continued to speak without giving Bai Xi a chance to talk, “How’d I have the time to look at that? I pushed them away, and they looked at me pitifully whining next to me. I had no choice but to go and take a look.”
Bai Xi did not want to hear the leopard that stayed away from her being affectionate to Bai Lin and wanted to interrupt her, but Bai Lin was faster than her. She sighed and continued, “It’s just some rabbits, chickens, and the like, and a silly roe deer. I’m short of food, but I don’t need animals to help me with work.”
After a pause, she looked curiously at Bai Xi with her eyes shining with curiosity. “I think you’ve met one of them before? Why? It’s not clingy?”
She covered her mouth exaggeratedly and smiled after saying that. “I’m sorry, I forgot that some people just aren’t liked by animals. Don’t mind me.”
It was a critical hit.
Bai Xi laughed along with a sulky expression, and they walked very quietly after that.
[Lin-jie, great job. I didn’t expect my cool and handsome Lin-jie to have such a side.]
[We have to use magic to defeat magic. Bai Xi keeps saying useless things. It’s so annoying.]
[Lin-iie: No wav! It can’t be! Are there reallv neonle who are hated bv animals?
Bai Xi: Not only was I hated, I was also slapped by the snow leopard.]
[I’ve been watching Lin-jie’s mouth-covering action over and over again. She’s so mean and adorable! Like a troublemaker kitty!]
[The one above, with Lin-jie’s level, she’s at least a troublemaker tiger.]
Finally, they arrived at the base camp. The room was warm from the fire Bai Lin made. As Bai Xi felt the heat in the room, her numb limbs gradually regained feeling. Her exposed fingers were red, and when they came into contact with the hot air, they hurt and itched.
Her eyes reddened once more as she rubbed her fingers together. She watched Bai Lin boil some water, and her eyes flashed with hatred.
Bai Lin could have brought her to find the base camp together, but she deliberately left her behind for such a long time. She was cold, hungry, and lonely with despair out there, but what about Bai Lin?
Bai Lin enjoyed the warmth of the base camp and had the leopards to play with her. She was living in paradise. What right did she have?!
Bai Lin was sensitive. She could feel the piercing gaze on her back, but she did not care. She had gone back to find Bai Xi mainly for the mission at the base camp.
The production team had informed her that there would be six newcomers in the next episode and asked her to prepare enough supplies for 15 people that would last them for a day. They had even made a list.
Bai Lin could have completed it by herself, but the task was heavy, and Bai Xi was more or less a labor force, so she could not let her be idle.
After the water was boiled, Bai Lin drank a big bowl of it and felt her body heat up.
She was wearing a sports tank. Thinking about the firewood that had not been chopped in the backyard, she rushed out to chop the firewood. Each of her chop was so strong that it could directly chop the firewood to the end.
Bai Xi looked at Bai Lin through the window with disdain.
Only country bumpkins would do this kind of chores with ease—unlike her, who had been pampered at home and had not even washed the dishes before.
However, in order to keep her image, she wrapped herself in Bai Lin’s coat and went out after she drank some hot water. Bai Xi said kindly, “Jiejie, you’ve worked hard all day. You must be tired. Go and rest. I’ll help you chop them.”
In fact, she was just doing it perfunctorily. If she did not know how to chop the firewood or if she was tired from doing it, would Bai Lin force her?
Bai Lin wiped her sweat and pointed at the pile of wood. “I’ll leave these to you then. I’ll watch you chop them. You’re not allowed to eat until you’re done.” Bai Xi thought that she had been too careless.. Bai Lin would really force her to work!
