242 Chapter 242. Little Tricks
On the surface, An Ye’s words sounded like she didn’t care about Zhuang Jie’s rudeness and harsh words. However, if the more attentive students listened carefully, they would realize that An Ye was mocking Zhuang Jie!
She had asked Zhuang Jie, “Aren’t we best friends?” She also told Zhuang Jie to say less to offend the other team members and to send a signal to the team members around them!
She and Zhuang Jie were indeed excellent friends, but how did Zhuang Jie treat her friends?
It had to be said that An Ye was very talented at reading people’s minds.
Although this boy was a little angry at her, he didn’t say anything more when he saw her beautiful and obedient appearance. He only gave Zhuang Jie a stern look and retracted his gaze in disgust. However, he started to size up An Ye, beside Zhuang Jie, from time to time!
Zhuang Xian was sitting on a tree not far away and saw An Ye’s little tricks. She was holding a dagger that came with her military bag. The blade was not sharp, but it became the best weapon in Zhuang Xian’s hands.
She turned to look at Zhuang Jie, who was still clueless about this, and a faint sneer appeared on her lips.
Li Qin wiped away the sweat on his forehead and turned to look at Zhuang Xian. “It’s been five minutes. Why haven’t the squad monitor and the others caught up yet? Did something happen?”
Zhuang Xian looked at the watch in her hand and frowned slightly. She stood up and looked back at the way they had come, her eyes gradually darkening.
She looked around and saw that her group mates were all looking at her. She patted Li Qin’s shoulder and said, “I’ll go back and meet up with the squad monitor and the others. You can wait here with all of them.”
Li Qin looked into Zhuang Xian’s eyes and nodded after a while. “Then go ahead, Sister Xian. My classmates and I are here waiting for you and the squad monitor.
When the other students around them saw the situation, they also understood. Although they felt a little uneasy, they nodded and let Zhuang Xian go.
Ye Xin looked in the direction that Zhuang Xian had left and suddenly felt a sense of danger. She asked softly, “Zhuang Xian isn’t thinking of leaving us here and leaving on her own, is she? The squad monitor isn’t here either. Is it okay for us to let her go back like this?”
Li Qin turned around and looked at Ye Xin, who seemed to be talking to herself. He understood that she was trying to use this opportunity to defame his sister Xian! How could Li Qin agree to this? He glanced at Ye Xin and said, “Then why don’t you go and pick up the squad monitor and let sister Xian rest here? ”
If his sister Xian wanted to throw someone, the first person she would throw would be you, Ye Xin! Li Qin rolled his eyes at Ye Xin as he thought about this.
Seeing the situation, Lin Feng opened his mouth to ease the tension, “Alright, alright, we’re all in the same group, so we should be united! The leader is just checking on the squad monitor and the others. She’ll be back soon.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xin, pursed his lips, and said, “Don’t say that about the team leader. Under such circumstances, shouldn’t we trust her more?”
Seeing that she couldn’t find a way to smear Zhuang Xian’s name, Ye Xin turned to Lin Feng with a faint smile and explained, “You’re right; I was too anxious; I shouldn’t have said that to Zhuang Xian! She definitely won’t leave us behind. After all, she’s the Vice squad monitor of our three groups!”
Li Qin’s intuition told him that Ye Xin was trying to set up a trap for Zhuang Xian. He scoffed but didn’t say anything. He thought, ‘How could Ye Xin possibly understand what sister Xian is thinking?’
This small group of 14 people, except for Zhuang Xian, fell into a strange silence.
As time passed by, the sunlight grew dimmer and dimmer. Everyone started to feel a little uneasy. Without Zhuang Xian and the squad monitor among them, the leaders of the other two groups had no idea what to do!
Zhuang Jie felt the temperature in the forest drop. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and looked around. She thought that the atmosphere was getting eerier and eerier. She looked at the watch on her wrist and said in a dry voice, “It’s been almost half an hour; why hasn’t the squad monitor caught up yet? Are they lost?”
“Why didn’t the Vice squad monitor come back? Did she forget about us?” Seeing Zhuang Jie speak, An Ye also quickly said.
