Volume 3 Chapter 7: Cloud Island Travelogue Part 2

  "Cough, I'm telling you, don't choose me later! There's Xiao You here!" Qingchi whispered to Xinyue and quickly turned around and left.

  "You're killing me! Not just you, a male student!" Xinyue intentionally emphasized the words "male student", then pouted and turned her face away, adding: "So annoying..."

  "Xīnyuè, what are you talking about?" Yōngjī asked.

  "What's wrong? I was just thinking, with so many handsome guys, who should I choose and who shouldn't I?"

  "The girls come to draw lots!" Zhī Méng shouted loudly, and the girls swarmed up with laughter.

  Xīn yuè shǒu qì hǎo, jìng chōu le gè yī hào!

  English Translation: What a great draw, I actually got number one!

  But who to choose? He Tong, Huo Yang, Luo Kai... Xiang Yue faced a row of expectant faces and thought, should find someone good at cooking. Ah, Luo Baozi is especially skilled in the kitchen, I'll choose him!

  "Luò Kāi!" Xīn Yuè stared at that fat brother and sweetly shouted.

  "Me?" Luo Kai asked incredulously.

  "Lu Kai and you, Xia Xinyue, are the first pair!" Zhimeng Zhuang announced.

  Luo Kai ran to Xiang Yue's side with a flattered and surprised expression, hehe, silly smiling.

  "He Lian's face turned ugly, and he scolded from the side: 'You little rascal! You still say that a friend's wife is not to be deceived? Deceiver pretending to be upright! Not a bit of a friend!'"

  "Kai Ge, wait a minute, you must bring out your ultimate move!" Xinyue said with a smile.

  Lu Kai's eyes went soft as he exclaimed: "Just you wait and see, the first place is ours! Hehehe..."

  Each pair of combinations was born, a first-grade girl chose Qingchi, and Yu Duo chose Yanwei as expected...

  "Now each group go get firewood and cauldron, buy cooking materials at the small sales department! The competition officially begins! Everyone act now!" Zhī Méng announced, and all the people dispersed with a whoosh.

  "Xīnyuè, you go get the things, I'll be in charge of buying food! Hurry up!" Luò Kāi hastily instructed.

  "Okay!" Xinyue replied and followed the crowd rushing towards the picnic equipment rental department.

  When Deng Xianyue ran back panting, Qingchi, He Tong and several other boys were already carrying firewood and pots, rushing over.

  Qingchi didn't even glance at Xiangyue, and instead walked forward alone. But in her heart, she couldn't help but think: Why is this dead girl so likable? With the same body, I was never as glorious as her before...

  "Xīnyuè, you've just arrived? Where's the fatty gone off to? Doesn't understand how to cherish a treasure... Alright, take mine instead!" Hè Tóng carefully handed over the firewood to Xīnyuè.

  "This isn't quite right, is it?" Xīnyuè demurred.

  "Xīnyuè, take mine!" Huǒyáng rushed over and also wanted to give his own items to Xīnyuè.

  "Oh, no need, I'll go myself..."

  "Take mine!"

  "Take mine!"

  Several boys came around again, making a fuss over Xinyue.

  "Idiot!" The distant Qing Chi cursed with disdain.

  Luò Kāi rushed out from the small shop next door, threw the package to Xīn Yuè, snatched the firewood and pot from Hè Tóng's hand, "Take yours! You won't get a prize anyway! Xīn Yuè, let's go quickly!"

  "Value wealth over friendship!" He Tong was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.

  "Thanks!" Xinyue followed Luo Kai from behind and smiled back at He Tong.

  He Tong's heart immediately softened! With a smile all over his face, he said: "Forget it! A beautiful woman's smile is worth a thousand gold coins! What's a bundle of firewood? I'll go get some more!"

  Luob's family is in the northeastern countryside, and cooking is his specialty! While Xinyue has also been improving her culinary skills recently. The two of them work together seamlessly and quickly finish preparing three dishes and one soup. Finally, Luokai shows off his culinary skills, making some slight adjustments to the presentation of the dishes, and for a moment, the aroma, flavor, and color are all perfect, presenting a delicious feast that makes everyone's mouth water, instantly earning thunderous applause.

  Three men and two women, four judges all gave a thumbs up!

  Don't look at Qingchi's quick lead, but he can't start a fire. He got smoke and fog all around, even bringing out tears, and finally with someone else's help, the water was boiled. But by then, Xiangyue and the others had already announced they were done!

  "Give up!" Qingchi threw down the firewood and sat on the ground with a thud. The little girl in the same group was shocked and at a loss for what to do.

  Actually, seeing Xiang Yue's pleased and complacent appearance, Qing Chi's mood wasn't quite right. Hmph, dead girl! Even without me, you're still living a pretty happy life, huh? With so many bootlickers! Hmph, it's not like they're not using my body to seduce the masses everywhere... But... but I didn't seem to be as popular as her back then...

  Xinyue and Luoke won first place.

  When Zhi Meng asked them what their wishes were, Xinyue glanced at Qingchi and thought to herself, "I must make that guy lose face! How should I do it? My previous self was tone deaf, ah...". Xinyue thought of this and immediately smiled all over her face, saying: "Let's have Yin Qingchi sing a song!"

  "What? Listening to him sing? Are we still alive?" Crane Boy's eyes widened in shock.

  "It's no use, I'm no good, I'm no good!" Qingchi exclaimed, waving his hands in distress.

  "Xīnyuè, look... " Zhìmēng was somewhat embarrassed.

  "I have only one wish, I hope Yin Qingchi follows the game rules! If you don't want to sing, can't you just dance?"

  "Right, right, right! This is even more interesting!" He Tong exclaimed.

  You're quite something, Xia Xinyue! Are you declaring war on me? Qingchi's face is twisted with anger! The other day, I heard that Xinyue didn't want him to attend the gathering, but he thought she was just playing hard to get. Today, he originally wanted to show off in front of her, but instead got played by her! So he glared at her and shouted: "Xia Xinyue, you're taking revenge on me! I won't accept it!"

  "What's wrong with you? Do you have a grudge against me? A big boy like you, so lacking in manners! Alright, if you won't sing or dance, then find someone to substitute for you!"

  "I'm looking for you!" Qingchi killed a horse and turned back. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, Xinyue said: "But I don't want to! You have to find someone who is willing to share your worries!"

  Having said that, Qing Chi couldn't pretend anymore and had no choice but to turn around and scan the crowd, asking: "Who is willing to help me?"

  Me!

  "I'll help you!"

  "Me too!"

  Unexpectedly, five or six girls jumped out at once.

  "Alright, thank you! Everyone come together now!" Qingchi was overjoyed and beckoned with his hand. The girls gathered in the middle of the crowd and began a small chorus. Qingchi gave Xiangyue a triumphant thumbs up.

  But little beauty turned her face away and didn't even bother to acknowledge him.

  "Luó Kāi, what is your heart's desire?" asked Zhì Méng with a smile after the girls finished singing.

  "I, my heart's desire, can it be related to Xia Xinyue?" Luo Baozi asked somewhat embarrassedly.

  "Of course!" Zhī Méng said.

  "Well then, let Xuan Yue be my companion for today!" Luo Kai said with a hint of ambiguity.

  "Hehe, Xinyue, you can't be lazy!"

  "Alright! I agree!" Xiangyue said with a big smile.

  "Kai Ge, you're not being very righteous!" He Tong scolded Bao Zi Wu De on the side.

  Xīn yuè unintentionally saw Yú Duō and Qiàn Wèi fighting intensely, and quickly ran over to shout: "Yú Duō, come here for a moment!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "Keep an eye on that kid! I don't think he's a good person!"

  "Hehe, you don't understand him! He's different from those guys who just revolve around beautiful girls!"

  "That day I saw him with a fashionably dressed girl kissing me..."

  "Really? Maybe you're seeing things?"

  "It won't be wrong! Ask him in a while, who is that girl? See what he says!"

  "Oh, all right!" Yu Duo said with a tone of uncertainty.
