Chapter 79: A Clue

Song Zhang brought his daughter and son forward and greeted Bai Lin in an indifferent manner while Fiery Tom watched with a cold gaze.
His daughter’s name was Song Tian, and his son’s name was Song Yun. The two of them went to junior high and senior high school together with Bai Xi, and they were close. He also had a Jot of business dealings with the Bai Family, so he naturally sided with Bai Xi and disliked Bai Lin.
Bai Lin would not expect everyone to respect her or love her. As long as no one provoked her intentionally, she would not be angry.
Bai Lin stepped aside. Fiery Tom and the Song Family brushed past her, while the two snow leopards licked her fingertips.
Now that everyone was here, it was time to discuss the grouping.
The grouping was still on freewill. Lin Sen, Fan Feng, and Jin Ran naturally stood to Bai Lin’s side. Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo were almost inseparable from Bai Lin, so there was no suspense that they teamed with her too.
On Bai Xi i s side were the three people from the Song Family, the two people from the Li Family, Zhao Yuan, and Bai Shao. As Bai Xi returned to the environment where she was valued and loved by others, she was a little dazed for a moment.
The days of work were still vivid in her mind, and today felt like a dream.
These people also gave Bai Xi the courage to face Bai Lin.
Fiery Tom was the only one left who had not chosen a team yet.
Among the members of Bai Xi’s team, Song Yun was an extreme sports enthusiast and had better physical fitness. Li Yan often went out for outdoor activities and had more experience in surviving in the wild than others. However, if Bai Xi wanted to compete with Bai Lin, her team lineup was far from enough.
She knew who Fiery Tom was. She had accidentally seen his livestream channel before and had watched for a bit out of curiosity.
A dangerous, mysterious, and powerful man—just the person she needed.
Bai Xi was just about to persuade Fiery Tom to join her team, but to her surprise, the man actually walked straight toward her.
His appearance was outstanding, and he had a dangerous aura that made hearts flutter. When Bai Xi was stared at by him, she was a little nervous.
“Bai Xi.” He looked at Bai Xi with a very affectionate gaze. “Is your team full?”
The meaning behind his question was obvious since there was no limit to the number of team members.
[I told you that the person he wants to protect is Xixi! Does the face of those who betted on Bai Lin hurt?]
[This gaze, this height difference… I’m sorry, everyone, I’m not shipping Yan Ruo and Bai Xi anymore! I have a new ship!]
[I suggest that everyone stop shipping first. I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with the way Fiery Tom looks at Bai Xi. It’s a bit like an act.]
[Yes, yes, yes. It’s not acting if everyone likes Bai Lin. Bai Lin’s fans, stop whining here. It’s so annoying.]
Of course, Bai Xi would never disagree. She turned her head, showing him her delicate and pretty right profile and said softly, “Not yet. Welcome to the team.”
Fiery Tom nodded and laughed in a low voice. “I thought you were interesting when I saw you on the livestream. Now that I’ve met you, I still find you interesting.”
What kind of description was that?
Bai Xi felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what it was. She could only put this strange feeling aside and focus on building a good relationship with him.
“Speaking of which, I’m considered a fan of yours. I’ve watched your livestream before and it’s really eye-opening. I didn’t expect that there’d be such an amazing person in this world,” Bai Xi said a little embarrassedly, “There are a lot of things that I don’t know, so I’ll have to trouble Fiery Tom-gege to teach me.”
Fiery Tom turned around. Bai Lin and the others had already left while the two were chatting. He paused, and when he looked at Bai Xi again, the fake enthusiasm in his eyes disappeared.
“Sure,” he said and left too.
Bai Xi looked over thoughtfully while Zhao Yuan came over at this moment, smiling and saying, “Xixi, you’re so good. That young man’s here because he likes you, right? It’ll definitely be easier with him in our team.”
If she was liked by a man like that, she would be very happy. Bai Xi could not help blushing and lightly pat Zhao Yuan’s arm, saying coyly, “Mom, he’s just a teammate.”
Zhao Yuan replied, “Okay, okay, okay. Yan Ruo and Zhou Guangs personalities are bad. They’re not good enough for you. Pick one between Fiery Tom and Li Yan. Get married soon so that mom can have a grandson.”
When Bai Xi heard this, she knew that it was bad news. With what Zhao Yuan, she was making her offend Zhou Guang and Yan Ruffs fans; she would not be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore.
She quickly said, “Mom, don’t say that. Yan-ge and Zhou-ge are both young and promising, and they’ve been taking care of people along the way. I think they’re both great. It’s just that we didn’t have the chance to be in the same team. You’ve misunderstood it.”
Zhao Yuan also knew that she had slipped up. She realized that this was a livestream and not a private conversation with Bai Xi at home. She froze for a moment before replying, “I see. It’s my’s fault. I’m sorry.”
An indifferent apology was still an apology, and this issue was over for Zhao Yuan—not the netizens, however..
