Chapter 89
[This is the third chapter. If you haven't read the first two, you might be a bit confused.]
Su Ci was momentarily stunned.
Then, her eyes curved into a smile.
Her heart had already melted when Lu Zhe raised his hands in surrender toward her.
She lifted the gun in her hand and aimed it at Lu Zhe's chest.
"Do you want me to shoot you in the chest?" Su Ci tilted her head to look at him.
Lu Zhe: "Mm, my heart is yours."
And my life is yours too.
Su Ci didn't want to tease him anymore.
She threw the gun aside and rushed toward the boy who had his hands up in surrender, crashing into his chest.
She wrapped her arms around him, "Woo, Lu Zhe, I love you to death."
The girl had her hair tied up, and Lu Zhe didn't want to mess up her hairstyle. With his black fingerless gloves, he only gently pinched her cheek. "Not going to shoot anymore?"
Su Ci didn't care about unity or teamwork anymore. Compared to Lu Zhe, her teammates were nothing.
She rubbed her face against his chest. "No, I wouldn't bear to shoot you even if it killed me."
Lu Zhe lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Thank you for your mercy."
Then Su Ci and Lu Zhe walked together.
When they encountered members of the Yellow Team, Su Ci hid while Lu Zhe dealt with them. When they met members of the Blue Team, Su Ci took care of it.
The broadcast announced: One member of the Yellow Team has been eliminated.
The broadcast announced: One member of the Blue Team has been eliminated.
...
Fifteen minutes remained, and the broadcast announced again: Two members of the Blue Team remain, and one member of the Yellow Team remains.
Su Ci was quite surprised when she heard the broadcast. So, was she the remaining member of the Yellow Team?
And besides Lu Zhe, there was one more person left in the Blue Team.
If they eliminated that person, the game would be almost over.
The forest path was rough, with potholes everywhere. After such a long game, Su Ci was already exhausted.
"Tired?" Lu Zhe noticed the girl's tired expression. "Let's rest over there for a while."
There was a pile of cut logs across from them that could serve as cover or a place to sit.
"Okay," Su Ci took Lu Zhe's hand and walked over.
She was disgusted by the dust on the logs and wanted to find a tissue to sit on, but she realized all her things had been confiscated by the staff and locked in a storage cabinet.
Knowing how particular the girl was, Lu Zhe didn't say anything. He directly took off his black tank top and placed it on the logs. "Sit."
Su Ci gave Lu Zhe a satisfied look. "Why are you so thoughtful?"
Lu Zhe curled his lips.
Su Ci sat on his tank top and looked up at the tall boy in front of her. "Aren't you going to sit?"
"I'm not tired." There was still one member of the Blue Team to deal with. The person was probably hiding somewhere nearby. The surrounding area was full of trees, and some were quite old, making it easy to hide.
Su Ci put down her gun. Her elbows rested on her knees, and her hands supported her cheeks as she looked at Lu Zhe. "How do you have so much stamina?"
Lu Zhe glanced at the girl and awkwardly turned his head away.
Su Ci watched as the sun cast a faint red glow on Lu Zhe's ears. She pursed her lips and suppressed a laugh.
After resting for five minutes, Su Ci had recovered. There were only ten minutes left in the game, and she didn't know where the other member of the Blue Team was hiding.
Suddenly, Lu Zhe asked her, "Tuan Tuan, do you want to win?"
Su Ci nodded. She had played seriously, so of course, she wanted to win.
She stood up, patted the dust off the tank top, and handed it back to him. "But if it comes down to just you and me, we'll be tied, which means we both win."
Lu Zhe chuckled lightly, "No, I'll let you win."
Su Ci said, "I won't shoot you."
Lu Zhe's dark eyes looked into the distance. "I know."
"Let's go, we'll look for your teammate together." Su Ci reached out to take his hand.
Suddenly, Lu Zhe's large hand grasped hers and pulled her forcefully.
Su Ci was directly pulled into his embrace, tightly held, and their positions were swapped.
Su Ci was a bit confused and was about to tease him for suddenly being overcome with emotion, but the next second, she heard a "bang" sound, and something exploded behind Lu Zhe.
The boy's arms around her tightened.
Su Ci naturally sat next to Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe could only serve her.
Next to Shen Xue and Wen Duoyu sat boys from the blue team, who were specifically there to serve them tonight.
The blue team members who were assigned to serve the girls were quite willing, even happy about it, while the remaining blue team members assigned to serve the boys couldn't help but feel distressed in their hearts.
“What do you want to eat?” Lu Zhe changed into a different outfit when he returned to the hotel. He is now wearing a light gray shirt that has a good texture, with the top two buttons of the collar undone, revealing a pronounced Adam's apple. The sleeves on both sides are neatly rolled up, giving him an indescribable sense of composure and elegance.
Su Ci casually said, "chicken wings."
“Hmm.” Lu Zhe grabbed three chicken wings and put them on the grill.
Lu Zhe's skills are impressive; even his barbecue abilities are strong. The chicken wings gradually turned golden yellow as he brushed on a layer of honey glaze, making them irresistibly aromatic.
Lu Zhe placed the chicken wings on a paper plate and handed it to Su Ci, "It's a bit hot, let it cool down before eating."
On the opposite side, Shen Xue looked at the chicken wings in Su Ci's hand with envy. The boy next to her clearly didn't know how to barbecue; she spat out the burnt chicken skin before eating the meat inside.
As for the boy next to Wen Duoyu, he wasn't much better; the food he grilled was half-cooked, and Wen Duoyu had to step in and salvage it himself.
Shen Xue looked around and found that among everyone present, Lu Zhe's roast was the best, and Su Ci was the luckiest in terms of food.
She has figured out that although Lu Zhe has ALS, aside from his illness, he is like a treasure of a young man, exceptionally talented.
Of course, she was even more amazed at Su Ci's keen eyes, starting to keep watch over Lu Zhe so early.
It's no wonder that back when she committed suicide, Su Ci mocked her for having poor taste and liking Fu Baili. Looking back now, aside from her illness and family background, Lu Zhe is indeed better than Fu Baili.
Shen Xue is grateful that Su Ci saved her at that time and even scolded her awake.
“There’s a rest station over there. I’m going to buy some drinks. Xiaoci, Duoyu, do you want something to drink?” Shen Xue came back to her senses. Her eyes were burning from the soot, and her throat felt dry.
Su Ci was eating the chicken wings that Lu Zhe had grilled for him. "I'm fine with anything, just pick something for me."
Wen Duoyu shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty, thank you."
Shen Xue got up and reminded the boy to watch the fire. She ran off to buy some drinks.
The sky has darkened, and the surrounding area is filled with the lively glow of barbecues.
The firelight reflected on the boy's face, making his features even more handsome.
Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe, who was focused on grilling with his head lowered, her eyes shining. She held a chicken wing right up to his mouth and said, "You eat too."
“I'll do it myself.” Lu Zhe took the plate from her hands.
Su Ci let him eat by himself, "Then I'll help you roast."
“Can you do it?” Lu Zhe looked at the girl's slender, fair fingers, which even had a faint pink hue at the tips, exquisite and beautiful. These small hands are only suited to be cherished.
“No way.” Su Ci leaned close to Lu Zhe's ear and whispered, “Good brother, please guide me.”
Lu Zhe glanced at her quietly.
Su Ci smiled triumphantly.
Shen Xue is back, holding two cups of drinks in her hands. "Xiao Cici, this cup is for you."
“Thank you.” Su Ci took the drink that Shen Xue handed over. “What is this drink? It looks quite nice.”
Shen Xue sat back in her original position and said, "Isn't it pretty? As soon as I saw it, I clicked on it. I think it's called Rainbow." The drink has seven colors and looks very nice.
Su Ci ate some barbecue and felt a bit thirsty. She took a few sips and found that there was some plum meat added inside.
Sour and sweet, it's very refreshing and quite tasty.
Su Ci suddenly drank more than half a cup.
Lu Zhe saw that the oysters were very fresh and asked, "Do you want to eat oysters?"
Su Ci nodded. She saw that Lu Zhe only took two, so she let go of the straw she was biting. "You should grill more oysters, you eat some too."
Then, Su Ci leaned closer to him and whispered, "I heard that eating more oysters can boost your virility."
Lu Zhe's gaze darkened; he really thought this little pomegranate deserved a good scolding.
Su Ci looked at him, the firelight reflecting in her eyes, bright and captivating. She deliberately urged, "Hurry up, you eat too."
Lu Zhe had no choice but to take two more oysters and put them on the grill.
Su Ci sipped her drink, happily watching Lu Zhe's helpless expression as she teased him.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ci felt an itch on her head, as if something was about to emerge.
She touched the top of her head, ignored it, and continued to grill with Lu Zhe.
However, the itch on the head grew more intense, and the familiar sensation left Su Ci in a daze. What was going on?
Are her rabbit ears about to pop out?
She didn't do anything at all, just ate a little barbecue and drank a beverage. Why did the rabbit ears come out?
Su Ci frowned, and suddenly remembered something. She asked Shen Xue, "Is there alcohol in the drink?"
Shen Xue was munching on a chicken leg when she heard Su Ci's words. She didn't react immediately, "I don't know, it doesn't taste like alcohol."
Beside her, Lu Zhe reacted quickly and whispered to her, "What's wrong?"
Su Ci's fair fingertips twisted around Lu Zhe's clothing, and she whispered, "The rabbit ears might be coming out."
