Chapter 283 Just Say You’re Afraid
Before anyone could say anything, Shi Caihong rolled her eyes at Mei Xing and sneered, "Oh, you just said you were scared, why are you pretending?" Shi Caihong had always disliked Mei Xing, even before she became friends with Tao Guoting. The reason was simple, Mei Xing was much prettier than Shi Caihong, and her family was richer than the Shi family. Although her friends' attitude towards her remained the same after she became friends with Mei Xing, Shi Caihong still felt that her importance in the group had suddenly increased. Ever since Mei Xing came to play with them, it had begun to decline.
What's more, Mei Xing was much more elegant than her, her grades were good, and the teachers treated her very well. She was kicked out of the school beauty just a few months after entering school. If that's not all, even Tao Guoting's attitude towards Mei Xing was different from Wei Feng, who she ignored. The difference in treatment was really a world of difference.
She had been looking for an opportunity to show off in front of Mei Xing, and now the opportunity had come. How could she let it go?
Li Na and Fan Ehuang exchanged glances before Li Na said, "Honghong, don't be so rude. Look at Xingxing's ankle, she is really injured... Should we let her in?" A grave for a sprained ankle, isn't it a bit..."
"What are you talking about?" Unlike Li Na who spoke softly, Shi Caihong's tone was much stronger. She immediately raised her voice, drowning out Li Na's voice. "Am I going too far? When we participated in this excavation, we all agreed to go into the tomb together and come out together. Mei Xing agreed at the time, didn't she? And even though her ankle looks swollen, it's not to the point where she can't walk. At most, she can be ranked last. Don't forget, we are boastful in school. We have to take a group photo inside and come out of the tomb. If we don't do this, I believe the students will laugh at us."
This time no one said anything, because Shi Caihong was right. Before coming here, they did boast a lot in front of their classmates, and they could even say that they were the Ghostbusters, especially Li Yiqian. Now that things have come to this, they can only look at Mei Xing with a little sympathy.
"Rainbow is right, Xingxing." With a shy smile on his face, even Li Yiqian couldn't say anything to object. "We said we would accept the challenge together. If you don't join us, the challenge will not be completed, and our classmates will laugh at us for not being able to hold our heads up."
Shao Lijun decided to take a much more gentle approach and said, "We are certainly not worried about ourselves, but you also know, Xingxing, if you don't go with us, others will call you a coward. "First-year students, we are about to take the college entrance examination. Don't you think this will be a very uneasy situation?"
Even Tao Guoting and Kong Kun didn't say anything. They were famous in the school because they did such things and were used to being looked up to by students. They didn't want to become a joke because their winning streak was broken, so they didn't say anything in the end, but their attitude was clear.
Mei Xing looked at her friends, feeling a little flustered. Before transferring to this school, she was often excluded by her friends because she was different. She didn't want to go through it again. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I'll stay at the back of the team. Someone must accompany me. I can't walk by myself." She deliberately ignored the bracelet, which stung her skin and she thought her skin was going to be burned.
"I'll stay with you." Before anyone could speak, Tao Guoting stood up from the ground and put his arm around Mei Xing's waist. "Since I'm the team leader, I think I should take care of those who are injured under my care."
"Me too." Before Shi Caihong could say anything, Kong Kun immediately raised his hand and quickly walked to Mei Xing's side. He put his arm around Mei Xing's waist and said, "Xing Xing accepted this challenge for us. Although she was injured, I hope no one can say anything about it, right?"
He said this to Shi Caihong, who rolled her eyes and said nothing. "Let's go. I want to sleep, too."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the tomb entrance, while Shao Lijun glanced at Mei Xing and then at Shi Caihong. After thinking about it, he finally caught up with Shi Caihong - Mei Xing had two school idols around her, so he didn't need to put his face in front of her. And even if he really put his face in front of her, she might not look at him together with Tao Guoting and Kong Kun.
So, instead of currying favor with Mei Xing, he decided to curry favor with Shi Caihong, who had no one around her. At least she would take care of him, right? After all, although he was not as good-looking as Tao Guoting and Kong Kun, he was also a rich second generation.
