Chapter 15: Winning Hearts
Bai Cha’s words were half true and half false.
As for how they judged it themselves, that was their own business.
She continued innocently and pitifully.
“Those people were really scary. I fell while trying to escape. Thanks to Mr. Front Desk…”
She repeated the front desk staff’s great deeds again. But she only said half of it, lowering her head shyly, leaving the rest unsaid.
Xiao Xiao’s expression immediately became complicated.
“Cough cough…” Bai Cha began to cough violently again. This time the cough was even worse, and she even dry-heaved a few times, spitting out a few mouthfuls of bloody liquid.
Xiao Xiao said, “Why don’t you go upstairs and rest?”
Brother Cai had no objections this time, looking at Bai Cha with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person.
In his opinion, this woman who clearly would be a burden had definitely violated a death rule, otherwise, why would she start vomiting blood?
Bai Cha was helped upstairs, and the food and drinks she brought back were also preserved.
She was really tired now and lay down weakly.
“You… you this…”
There were still traces of the nosebleed from before on Bai Cha’s face. Xiao Xiao really didn’t know what to say.
This girl’s naivety really wasn’t suitable for this game.
It might even be better to just die and be done with it.
“I saw you vomiting blood just now, these offerings…”
Bai Cha made a shushing gesture and reached into her chest, pulling out a piece of paper.
This was when she was being carried back by the front desk staff, she had taken the opportunity to switch the position of the new flyer and hide it.
Xiao Xiao took it and looked shocked after reading it.
She was very clear about what this flyer meant.
But Bai Cha had risked her life to get it.
Of course, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Bai Cha hiding this information just now. It was normal; she wouldn’t want to share the information she obtained with others either. This was because the number of people who could survive in the game was often limited.
Many times, only when a certain number of people died was it possible to clear the instance.
Especially in rule-based instances like this, the fewer rules you knew, the higher the probability of violating a death rule. And the more people who died, the more the remaining people could avoid that death rule.
Therefore, Bai Cha showing her this rule proved that Bai Cha completely trusted her.
She felt a little at a loss.
She had just thought about letting Bai Cha fend for herself and didn’t want to bother with such naive people anymore.
But thinking seriously about it, after all, she was just a newbie, and it was normal for her to still retain her naivety.
Xiao Xiao handed the flyer back to her and said, “Don’t take it out again, or just destroy it. And don’t show it to anyone else.”
“Also,” she instructed seriously and earnestly, “don’t do this kind of thing in other instances in the future. Keep the clues you find yourself hidden. Even if you want to give them to others, you have to exchange, understand? Make others bring out the same things.”
Bai Cha gave her a clean smile.
She knew that Xiao Xiao would definitely start protecting her seriously from this moment on.
How could this not be an exchange?
“Okay,” she said obediently and hid the flyer back in her clothes.
Xiao Xiao’s mood was complicated.
A weak girl like Bai Cha, with such a soft personality, entering this kind of game was really…
She didn’t know how much she could help her, but she would try her best to help her survive.
She hoped that she would meet kind-hearted people in her future games, Xiao Xiao could only think this way.
She was lost in thought, originally wanting to tell Bai Cha about what had happened while she was gone, but then she saw that Bai Cha had already fallen asleep.
Thinking that she had just vomited blood, Xiao Xiao sighed again, tucked her in, and sat on the other bed to watch over her.
Actually, she had misunderstood.
The bloody froth that Bai Cha spat out was purely from the nosebleed.
But she wouldn’t explain, otherwise she would have comforted her from the beginning.
A weak body, a naive personality, and now she had vomited blood. No one would see her as a threat.
Bai Cha didn’t think she was the only one who realized that perhaps the players were divided into factions.
She also indeed fell into a deep sleep.
It was difficult for a sick person to sleep soundly.
Her body already ached, especially after the high fever turned into a low fever. Her head ached even more, and her body felt even colder.
She was woken up by the cold.
It was too uncomfortable. She didn’t open her eyes and barely turned over, and curled up.
Then, she felt a spine-chilling sensation.
There was someone in front of her.
It was a very strong feeling of being watched, and something was pressed against her face-to-face.
Staring at her.
Bai Cha reacted quickly, continuing to maintain her previous state, breathing steadily, pretending to be asleep.
Time slowly passed.
Bai Cha felt someone pat her.
“Bai Cha, wake up.” Xiao Xiao’s voice.
Bai Cha didn’t move.
She wasn’t stupid. That feeling of being watched had never disappeared.
But the outside of the window seemed to have really brightened. She could feel the light outside.
“Bai Cha, hurry up and get up. It’s already dawn, Brother Cai is urging us.” Xiao Xiao was a little impatient.
Although the words were different, the tone was quite similar to when Bai Cha had just woken up in the game.
Bai Cha immediately became one hundred percent certain that this voice was definitely not Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao would never speak to her in this tone now.
Perhaps because she remained asleep, that thing directly pressed down on her body.
Heavy, making it hard to breathe.
