Chapter 91: Slipping

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Xi knew what to say to gain the favor of others without harming her interests.

According to common logic, Li Yan should be moved and force her to accept the chocolate.

He did not.

The extremely cold and windy weather caused Li Yan to lose his body heat very quickly. He only thought that Bai Lin was being understanding and did not think too much about it.

He broke the chocolate in half, gave one half to Bai Shao, and stuffed the other half into his mouth without any hesitation. As he ate, he said, “Xiao Xi, you’re right. Also, I think that since this food won’t last us for long, we might as well eat it all. Once we have the strength, we can finish the route in one go.”

They had already taken out the food from their backpacks. In the past, they would not have cared about such cold and stale food. Even the dogs at home felt nauseated at the sight of it.

But now, they all swallowed their saliva looking at the food that was no longer fresh.

With such a huge consumption of energy, they were already hungry. Zhao Yuan agreed, “I think it’s acceptable. If we’re hungry, we won’t have the strength to walk, and it’ll affect our progress.”

Fang Rong nodded. “That’s right. Xiao Xi said that we’re almost there. When we reach the finish line, we’ll be having hot food. There’s no point in keeping these things. Why don’t we eat our fill now to replenish our energy?”

“I also agree. Does anyone disagree?” Song Zhang looked at the group and saw that Bai Xi did not look good, so he asked, “What’s wrong, Xixi? Do you have anything to say?”

The route was fake. Bai Xi knew that if she was exposed at this time, what awaited her would only be criticism and scolding. The reputation she had worked so hard to build would be gone, so she could only echo, “I also agree.”

[I’m so angry. Bai Xi should know by now that the route is inaccurate, right?

Not only does she not confess, she also agrees to let everyone finish the food. What if they couldn’t get out after that? Starve to death? Can she be responsible for the lives of these people?]

[You can’t blame our Xixi for this. It’s Bai Lin’s fault if you get to the bottom of the matter! If she didn’t put the red paper on the bedside table, would our Xixi mistake it for a clue card?]

[That’s right! Bai Lin’s the most scheming one. She took advantage of our Xiao Xi’s competitive nature and deliberately put the paper on the bedside table to mislead Xixi into thinking that it’s a clue card! Xixi’s trapped in the snow mountain all because of her!]

[Once again, I’m amazed. You Bai Xi fans’ ability to distort the truth is a marvel.

It’s the first time I’ve seen such shameless fans.]

[Forget it, don’t talk to them. Bunch of idiots. Bai Xi wants everyone to freeze to death in the snow mountain because of her mistake, but they don’t even see it and even try to get her out of it.]

After eating, they had to continue their journey. The sky was getting dark, and the few of them quickly moved forward without a word, wanting to leave this damned place as soon as possible.

Fang Rong was in her 50s. Although she worked out regularly, she was getting on in years. In addition, the snow mountain was cold and the air was thin. After walking for a while, her mind suddenly went blank. Her feet lost control and her body fell to the side.

The mountain was tall and steep. If she rolled down from here, she would definitely die!

Fang Rong clutched the protruding stones on the ground tightly as she kept herself in a crawling position, shouting, “Xiao Xi! Save me!”

When Bai Xi slipped earlier, she had helped her up. After that, Bai Xi had leaned on her for a long stretch of the way. She was so nice to Bai Xi, and Bai Xi was kind, so she would not just leave her alone.

Bai Xi was walking in front of Fang Rong. When she heard her voice, she slightly tilted her head and pretended not to hear it as she walked straight ahead.

The mountain wind was so strong that she could barely stand and walk, let alone squat down and help someone up. She might even roll down with Fang Rong.

If Fang Rong were to fall off the cliff, it would have been because she had been careless and slipped. It had nothing to do with her.

Bai Xi’s eves were fixed straight ahead. Bai Shao. who was in front of her,

turned his head in confusion and asked, “Jiejie, I think I heard Aunt Fang’s voice.”

“Xiao Shao, the mountain road is so difficult to walk on. It’s dangerous. Don’t look around and focus on what you’re stepping on.”

Fang Rong’s heart sank.

Bai Xi had clearly heard her cry for help, but not only did she not come to save her, she even stopped others from saving her!
