Chapter 152
Yu Jinzhe was a very composed person.
At school, he was excellent in both academics and behavior, getting along well with teachers and classmates—a recognized model student.
Only Xie Lian, who shared his hobbies, knew his true, twisted nature.
After their initial encounter at the mall, when Xie Mi had ignored him, he became intensely interested in her and went so far as to follow her onto the dating show.
On her debut night, Xie Mi had shown no fear of his pranks; instead, she turned the tables on him, leaving him ecstatic.
It had been a long time since he had met someone so fascinating.
He desperately wanted to get closer to Xie Mi, but unfortunately, she was always accompanied by Shen Yiqing, whom he could never outplay, so he couldn’t get near her.
Luckily, he was patient enough to wait for his chance.
“Sister, shall we form an alliance?” he asked, smiling innocently and obediently, looking entirely harmless.
“There are only two teams, and you want an alliance?”
Xie Mi didn’t fall for it at all. She strutted toward him, saying, “Stop beating around the bush. Let’s fight.”
“Sister, I don’t want to fight you…” Yu Jinzhe instinctively stepped back, looking conflicted, but his gaze quickly darted downward.
Xie Mi’s foot was about to step on a patch of ground.
Yu Jinzhe’s lips curved slightly.
Xie Mi’s foot froze in mid-air.
Yu Jinzhe: “?”
“Eh, I won’t step on it!” Xie Mi sidestepped, smirking devilishly, and kicked away the patch of grass.
Beneath it was a trap hole.
[Whoa! A trap? I’ve been watching Little Brother Jinzhe’s livestream and didn’t see him dig this.]
[It’s part of the camp! This terrain has many features. The map at the entrance shows all the traps, and players can use them, including the one to tie up Kitty bro, but apparently no one noticed, haha.]
[Little Brother Jinzhe did see it! When Director Niu explained the rules, he was standing right by the map. I wondered what he was doing—it turns out he was checking the traps.]
[No wonder he wandered around so much after entering, I thought he was lost, but actually I’m the clown.]
[But how did Xie Mi know? She didn’t even look at the map.]
Yu Jinzhe couldn’t understand that part either.
“Sister, I didn’t dig this trap,” he explained, maintaining his obedient young-boy persona.
Unfortunately, Xie Mi had long seen through his true self; this trick didn’t work.
“Doesn’t matter. Die!”
Xie Mi charged with her dual guns firing.
With Qiu Chengye as a weak point, they had to shoot the paint onto the opposing team as quickly as possible to secure victory.
Yu Jinzhe turned and ran again, appearing panicked but actually fully in control.
He replicated the tactic he had just used to lure Qiu Chengye to a trap, this time aiming to lure Xie Mi to the next trap.
Thud!
Xie Mi stepped on a mechanism, and a massive airbag hidden in dense leaves swung down.
Yu Jinzhe turned back, wanting to see her get hit.
But…
Xie Mi had already dropped to the ground as if she had clairvoyance, letting the airbag swing past without touching her.
Yu Jinzhe’s eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to continue running.
He liked to have backup plans, knowing Xie Mi was tough, so he had already prepared a Plan B.
Result?
A flying net descended, but Xie Mi grabbed a vine and swung away.
An invisible wire was about to trip her; she leapt gracefully, wings outstretched.
Paint bullet traps fired countless blue paint rounds at her; she dodged into the foliage, untouched.
Yu Jinzhe, with no traps left to use, thought: “……”
He hadn’t seen Xie Mi check the map.
Xie Mi, relying purely on keen observation and reflexes to avoid traps: scratches head, impressed with herself.
[This round Sister Xie totally won.]
[Hahaha, watching them outsmart each other is hilarious.]
[Looking at it, Little Brother Jinzhe seems a bit cunning, white-cut-black? Love it.]
[In real life, you’d behave yourself.]
Yu Jinzhe had no retreat; he could only face Xie Mi head-on, but he was clearly no match.
Luckily, reinforcements arrived.
“Little Brother Jinzhe, don’t be afraid.”
Xu Shuangrong appeared from behind a tree. Now, she and Yu Jinzhe flanked Xie Mi.
“Teacher Xie is powerful, but the two of us together might be a match for her.”
Yu Jinzhe smiled charmingly.
“Sister, you seem to be in some danger.”
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the camp,
Xiao Jingxi, who had been searching for Xie Mi, finally heard a sound resembling her voice and ran in that direction.
It sounded like a fight.
Though he wasn’t particularly interested in this game, men who protect women in combat tend to earn their admiration.
Xie Mi herself was easily moved; when they first met in high school, she had already liked him for letting her take some food in the cafeteria.
Today, if he could lead Xie Mi to victory in this game, she would surely admire him once more.
Thinking this, Xiao Jingxi ran faster.
He dashed through the trees, and the scene in front of him became clear.
“Xie Mi! I’m coming—”
“?”
His voice cut off.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Xie Mi, like Marco Polo unleashing a skill, spun in circles with guns raised, red paint bullets flying everywhere, leaving nothing untouched.
Beside her were two crazed Red Smurfs, hugging their heads to dodge, so red they were indistinguishable.
Before Xiao Jingxi could speak, he was hit by two bullets, attacked indiscriminately—even teammates weren’t spared.
“This side’s fighting so fiercely? I’m joining!”
With a loud female voice, Lai Bingxuan entered the battlefield, firing her gun at Xiao Jingxi without hesitation.
“Xie Mi! You take those two, I’ll take this one! And I just encountered Qiu Chengye, I don’t know why he’s hanging from a tree and entirely blue, but I took him out too!”
Xiao Jingxi, nearly knocked out by Lai Bingxuan, couldn’t help but shout, “Qiu Chengye and I are your teammates!!”
[Guess why Qiu Chengye is fully blue?]
[Sister Lai doesn’t even remember who her teammates are; from the start, she insisted on taking out Qiu Chengye and hunted him the whole game.]
[Hilarious! Xiao Jingxi is covered in bullet marks, yet none of them were from the opposing team.]
[Understood—Sister Lai is a teammate killer.]
[Then the question is, she attacked Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi, so why did she remember Xie Mi was her teammate?]
[Sss…]
[Sharp-eyed viewers, you caught the highlight.]
