Chapter 087: Mysterious Figure (Subscribe Available)

  Woke up early in the morning, another sunny and warm good day.

  Bai Xueya stretched her waist, holding the washbasin and was about to go wash up. Suddenly, a "brush" sound came from the nearby thicket, as if something flashed by.

  She looked around in surprise for a long time, and quietly approached to take a look, but the forest was already gone without a trace.

  "Hey? Xiaoya, why are you standing under the tree again? Aren't you afraid of snakes coming out?" As soon as he crawled out of the tent, Jin Zaiyan saw Bai Xiaoya standing in the grass like a wooden puppet, and couldn't help but laugh.

  Bai Xueya suddenly came to her senses, jumping out of the grass like she had been electrocuted. She almost forgot about the snake, and hurriedly patted her face, which was still racing with fear, as she went to wash up.

  On the other hand, Jin Yanyu was also smiling and carrying a basin behind him.

  Arriving at the riverbank, there were already quite a few people washing up, everyone smiling and greeting each other. Time passed by.

  She found a relatively clean place and bent down to scoop up water, when she lifted her head, she happened to see Xue Yao Dong lifting his head not far away.

  For a moment, their eyes met, and he was taken aback for a moment, then politely nodded and quickly shifted his gaze away. As if Bai Xiaoya was a terrifying monster, looking at her for another second would make his heart skip a beat.

  What's going on? Bai Xueya had a puzzled face and couldn't understand Xue Yao Dong's mood at all.

  "Hey," looking at Bai Xueya staring in the direction of Xue Yao Dong, Jin Zaiyan waved his arm in front of her and smiled, "You don't really like that guy, do you?"

  "What are you talking about?" Bai Xueya looked at him with a strange expression, her face filled with disgust as she let out a "tch" sound, "What business of yours is this... nosy parker?"

  For the first time being called "chicken mother", Jin Zhiyan was a little embarrassed, twitching at the corner of his mouth, turning his head to look around, and found that Lu Haocen was walking towards this side with a smile, accompanied by a beautiful girl who was smiling brightly.

  He didn't even think about it and loudly called out: "Haocen? Come over here?"

  Bai Xiaya, who was brushing her teeth, couldn't help but turn around and caught a glimpse of Lu Haocen's lazy gait. She also took a glance at the little beauty beside him, then casually turned back to continue brushing her teeth with an air of nonchalance.

  Hearing Jin Yanyan's shout, Lu Haocen, who was not far away, paused for a moment, looked over here, and after a long time, he smiled and quickened his pace to walk over.

  The girl beside him also naturally followed, as if she had grown up with Lu Haochen.

  "Hey, who is it?" Jin Yan couldn't help but ask with a chuckle, sensing that something was off.

  Lu Haochen somewhat impatiently turned his head to glance at the girl behind him, then crouched down to wash up, neither affirming nor denying.

  Facing such an embarrassing situation, the girl did not show any abnormality, still smiling sweetly and charmingly. She curved her crescent-shaped eyes, pouting her mouth to introduce herself: "My name is Luna, I'm from Lingnan High School."

  "Lingnan High School?" Jin Zaiyan thought for a moment, "Not our M City's one."

  Luna smiled especially sweetly, nodding: "Yes, I'm from S City. Happened to be visiting relatives during the summer vacation, and coincidentally signed up for this summer camp... didn't expect... hehe..." As she spoke, she blushed and covered her face with her hands, smiling, then paused for a long time before continuing, "Didn't expect to meet you guys... I'm really happy..."

  Bai Xueya lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Haocen, seeing that he had an expression of not wanting to talk, while Luna kept glancing in his direction intentionally or unintentionally. This situation, even a fool could see what was going on.

  Lu Haochen is really lucky with women.

  She spat out the foam in her mouth, picked up the cup of water and gargled with a "gurgling" sound, but then Jin Yanzhen suddenly asked: "How long have you two been dating?"

  "Huh——?"

  One careless move and a mouthful of water sprayed out like a fountain, looking quite embarrassing. Bai Xiaoyu wiped her mouth, turned around, saw the strange looks from the three people around her, and couldn't help but awkwardly smile.

  "Xiao Ya, your reaction is a bit big." Jin Zaiyan commented as if unintentionally.

  Bai Xueya glared at him with a lazy expression, not bothering to continue the conversation, and continued to wash her face with her head down, but her face was still embarrassingly red.

  On the other hand, Luna's cheeks turned pink again, and she covered her face with a giggle, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  Lu Haochen looked at her impatiently, seemingly having no other choice.

  After simply washing up, Lu Haochen hastily bid farewell to Jin Yanyan and left in a hurry.

  He walked very quickly, and when he was about to leave, Luna, who was washing up, stared at him with a burning gaze while hastily finishing her own affairs. After saying goodbye to Kim Ja-yeon and Baek Soo-ah, she ran after him in a hurry, as if afraid of being left behind.

  After the two of them had walked a long way, Jin Yan faintly heard Luna pouting and saying "Hao Chen, wait for me". Immediately after that, Lu Hao Chen's footsteps became even more urgent.

  He couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying: "Haha? Old Lu is really helpless! It seems that this little beauty Luna has some tricks up her sleeve?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xueya gave him a cold glance before turning her head to watch the two people walking away. Luona was pouting and tugging on Lu Haichen's sleeve, with a pitiful expression on her face, while Lu Haichen seemed troubled.

  Indeed, whoever encounters such a lovely little beauty, even if they can bear it, cannot help but be moved and like her, and cannot be as ruthless as before.

  Bai Xueya turned her head and splashed the cool river water on her face.

  Strange——

  The weather is warm today.

  But ——

  River water, why is it so cool?

  After a whistle sounded, everyone who was well-prepared rushed out of the tents and gathered in an orderly manner on the field.

  As soon as the team stopped, Bai Xueya felt a strange gaze coming from behind her back, like an arrow that made her feel uneasy. She turned around and saw Sun Yuyang staring at her with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with mockery and coldness.

  She pretended not to see and turned her head away, not wanting this nitpicking woman to ruin her mood.

  After Zhang Li finished calling the roll, everyone lined up and started jogging around the field. At this time, a girl behind Bai Xueya suddenly let out an "ah" of surprise, she turned her head in shock to find that Sun Yu Yang had somehow squeezed past the girl behind her and joined the group running behind her.

  "I'll just stand here from now on." Sun Yuyang said indifferently to the girl.

  Although the girl was unwilling in her heart, she realized that Sun Yuyang was not a good person to mess with, and she didn't want to provoke unnecessary trouble, so she reluctantly agreed.

  When she saw the girl nod, Sun Yuyang's face added a hint of pride. She turned her head back with an arrogant expression, scrutinizing Bai Xiaya in front of her like a queen, and coldly hummed: "Be careful, if you don't die from falling off a cliff, I will make sure to torment you to death."

  Bai Xiao Ya smiled indifferently and said, "Alright, I'll wait."

  After finishing speaking, she turned her head and followed the team's pace to run laps around the field.

  After three laps, everyone was panting and bending over to rest. Zhang Li hurriedly clapped her hands and ordered everyone to continue warming up. The team dispersed and began doing simple warm-up exercises on their own.

  During exercise, there are naturally moments when groups of people chat idly. The girls gather together to discuss gossip and fashion, while the boys secretly discuss which girl is prettier.

  Bai Xueya stood in the corner, seriously pressing her legs one by one, when she suddenly heard the girls on the other side whispering:

  "Hey, have you guys noticed... there's someone else here besides us?"

  Bai Xueya's movements slowed down, she slightly tilted her head, perked up her ears and held her breath to listen quietly.

  "Really? I thought it was just me who had that feeling! Two days ago, I saw a shadow, and when I went to take a look, there was no one there at all? It scared me to death!" Another girl chimed in, recalling the incident with a pounding heart.

  "Heavens! Is it true? I didn't feel anything!" The third girl exclaimed in shock, disbelievingly saying "Could the Qilin divine beast have appeared?"

  "They say there really is a Qilin divine beast in this forest? It might just appear, who knows?"

  "Really? If I were to encounter a Qilin, I might not even have time to make a wish before being scared away?"

  "Hahaha, you really are..."

  The girls' chatter continued, but Bai Xueya had no mind to listen to the rest of the content. At this moment, all her attention was focused on that "mysterious shadow".

  She had always thought that the figure she saw twice was an illusion, but it turned out that this was not her hallucination, but a real thing that everyone could see.

  Is...that the silhouette of a Qilin?

  Is there really a divine beast in this vast and mysterious hundred-mile forest?

  A loud whistle suddenly sounded, pulling Bai Xueya out of her contemplation. She hastily pulled in her legs and ran back to her position, but due to being too hasty, she didn't notice something underfoot and ended up falling flat on the ground with a thud.

  "Bang!" The huge noise attracted everyone's attention.

  "Ow..." Bai Xueya struggled to move, and when she finally managed to get up from the ground and lift her head, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

  "Hahaha......" Everyone covered their mouths and looked at Bai Xueya's face, bursting into loud laughter without any restraint.

  Even Jin Yan couldn't help but laugh so hard that he was shaking all over, holding his stomach with one hand and wiping away tears with the other.

  Without looking, she knew what a sorry state she was in now. Bai Xueya's lips twisted in a bitter smile as she tried to calm herself down.

  But suddenly something appeared out of nowhere and tripped her up, sending her tumbling to the ground.

  She turned around and looked down at her feet, but there was nothing. As her gaze gradually shifted upwards, she saw Sun Yuyang's boisterous and mocking smile.

  In an instant, everything became clear. Bai Xueya walked closer, stopping a few centimeters away from her, looking at her with a faint smile: "Well done, not bad tactics, but unfortunately, neither the cliff nor the stumbling block can do anything to me, it's really disappointing for you."

  Upon hearing this, Sun Yuyang's face seemed to stiffen for a moment. She let out a cold snort and said indignantly, "I've told you before, your fall off the cliff has nothing to do with me?"

  "Really?" Bai Xueya opened her eyes wide, and said with a smile, "But, apart from you - I really can't think of any other psychopath who could do something so crazy and inhumane?"

  "You...?!" Sun Yuyang's face turned pale with rage, her lips bitten tightly together. After a long while, she calmed down and said coldly, "Fine, have it your way then?"
