Chapter 42 Crazy Hamster

"I can’t pay you right now." Mo Li whispered when Li Yue finally stopped pulling him towards a tree. "I have no money on hand."

"Do you really think I did that for money?"

"Yes." Mo Li answered without batting an eyelid. When Li Yue didn’t respond, he chuckled while a dimple formed on his right cheek as he smirked. "Why else would you do that? Did a donkey hit your head?"

"Stop it." Li Yue said.

"Stop what?"

"Stop smiling like that. And you’re too close." She said as she eyed his face which was just a few inches away from hers. Why would this man look at her like this? Mo Li’s next words were enough to answer her.

"Why? I thought you liked staring at my face? Didn’t you take a lot of pictures of me while I was sleeping so you could frame and stare at it before you sleep?"

She widened her eyes as a flash of horror glinted on her pupils."You— who told you that?"

Mo Li smirked before he leaned back to use the shade of the tree cover from the scorching summer sun. The warm midsummer breeze soon interrupted them. It echoed on the tall trees as If giving a warm welcome to the youths who stood under the shade of the trees.

"You know... taking pictures of someone’s body without their consent is illegal." Mo Li continued. "And so is... selling it online." Li Yue gulped as she looked at him. In this city, a million would be enough to sustain her livelihood for six months. However, the same could not be said in a country overseas. How could she explain to him that she was only trying to survive in the coming months?

The thought of explaining to him made her eyebrows crease. Why should she explain it to him? "Hmph!" Li Yue turned her head away while crossing her arms across her chest. This man does not deserve an explanation! Seeing this, Mo Li only chuckled in response.

The silence didn’t last as Li Yue realized something. She stilled before turning her head towards Mo Li. ???Wait... why is your bag so small?" she asked.

"Should it be big?"

"Where... "Li Yue eyed the small backpack slung over Mo Li’s shoulders. "You didn’t bring a tent?"

"I was planning to share it with you."

Li Yue’s eyes turned so wide, she could feel her eyeballs popping out of their sockets.

"What’s wrong? You’ve already seen it all anyways." For the first time, Li Yue saw his face making a mischievous grin. "There’s no need to say anything else. This is compensation for taking those pictures."

Li Yue blinked. Then she blinked again. Slowly, her eyes trailed down to the man’s neck then to his chest and finally to the abs that earned her a lot of money. She gulped. Mo Li must have traced the images back to her. Yet, he did nothing to punish her.

"Stop staring." Mo Li said. "People will think that you are a pervert. I mean... it’s true but they don’t know that yet."

Li Yue darted her gaze back to the face of the man in front of her. "I am not— "she couldn’t say it. Even she wouldn’t believe her own words. "Alright, I’ll let you share my tent. It’s big enough for three people anyway. "Isn’t this a good thing? If she sticks to this man, the female lead won’t have the chance to save him! Li Yue immediately thought of spending some coins for the space that was only half a ruler big. It isn’t big enough to store a rifle, but it sure is big enough to store a first aid kit and some crackers. In case something comes up, Li Yue is confident that she could survive.

Plus, she already prepared everything she could to survive in the woods. She can do this! Li Yue’s eyes glinted. She can save this man and live happily ever after.

"We’re about to start." Mo Li nudged her. "Here." He handed her a container of cream.

"What is that?"

"For the bugs." He said before walking ahead of her. Li Yue nodded as she ran next to him and started applying the cream to her hands and neck. Li Yue was currently wearing black tactical pants paired with black hiking boots and a black tank top that she covered with a black turtleneck. It was already summer so Li Yue couldn’t just wear a huge coat. However, Li Yue was already very satisfied with how she currently looked. A smile slithered on her face.

She definitely looked badass right now.

Li Yue then eyed the group of students in front of them. This was a yearly trip so this it was a greatly anticipated trip. Because of this, most of the graduating class joined it. Of course, this includes Xia Jin and Li Weiwei who were walking next to the guide. By now, Li Weiwei’s reputation had grown as someone who would not let anyone trample on her easily.

The woman had been face-slapping other female villains who think that they are the ones worthy of the gentle and pure Xia Jin. These people were also the same ones who used to be close to Li Yue. This did not happen previously since Li Yue had such a nasty attitude, those women didn’t dare offend her or scheme against her to get Xia Jin. Her retaliation would mean the end for them.

However, Li Weiwei is a different case. Those, who thought that Li Weiwei was an ignorant fool tried to get close to her so they could scheme against her and embarrass her in front of Xia Jin. Sadly, the female lead was not as weak as they thought. Li Weiwei had then bared her fangs to these women.

This is of course, a very good thing. These people are the ones who left Li Yue when she fell from her pedestal; isn’t it good to have the female lead deal with them? Li Yue chuckled at the thought.

"What’s wrong with you?" Mo Li squinted his eyes. "Why are you laughing all by yourself?" His gaze turned accusatory. "Has the rat finally turned into a crazy hamster?"
