C167 Business

Lin Lin sometimes understood Bai Yu's thoughts, and sometimes she didn't. Sometimes, he seemed to treat her very well, and sometimes she seemed to observe something.

They had to keep their secrets.

Bai Yu naturally knew that Lin Lin did not trust him, but so what?

Except for Jiang Yishu.

The man who got in the way.

Bai Yu was actually testing Jiang Yishu during their bickering and battle.

As long as Jiang Yishu had the slightest bit of protection for their Liemu Hunting Group, he would immediately bring Lin Lin away, at most bringing Chen Chen and Xi Shiyu.

That's right, he had never treated himself as a member of some Liemu Hunting Group.

If not for Lin Lin, he, no, not only him, Xi Shiyu and Chen Chen would have already left.

Maybe it was because they had spent too much time living apart from others, they were not used to it, maybe it was because they hated interacting with others.

The four of them, couldn't they just walk through this apocalyptic world?

In short, it was difficult for them to merge into the Intense Wood.

But because of Lin Lin's attitude toward Lie Mu, they did not dare to be too dissatisfied. Even if they were disgusted, they would not directly express the thought of leaving.

To Lin Lin, regardless of how long they spent together, if you had the heart to leave, she would not ask him to stay.

And Bai Yu, had come to find Lin Lin because of this as well.

"Lin Lin, there's something else I came to find you for today."

Lin Lin looked calm on the surface, but she was already on guard, "Speak."

"You don't want to talk to that brat, Xi Shiyu?"

Lin Lin said indifferently, "Is there anything between us that we need to talk about?"

Bai Yu clicked her tongue, as if she was looking down on Lin Lin for being stubborn or unrepentant, "You know clearly about the relationship between you and Xi Shiyu, Xi Shiyu is a child, and you're also a child?"

In Lin Lin's eyes, there was a trace of unfathomable emotion: "In the apocalypse, there are no children."

This is the first time he wanted to educate Lin Lin, "Lin Lin, I'm not sure what kind of tragic events happened to you before. I only know that, right now, there doesn't seem to be a person who is as indifferent as you in this so-called apocalypse."

Life and death, friends and family, they didn't seem to matter at all.

Lin Lin didn't say a word. She only looked at the white jade, pondering.

Bai Yu no longer had that sloppy look and instead looked a bit more pleasing to the eye, "Xi Shiyu, his actions are not wrong, impulsive, or stupid. He just cares too much about you, and whether you care about him or not."

To Xi Shiyu, Lin Lin was extremely important and was basically the only family she had in this world.

The only sunlight that could shine.

However, one day, he discovered that there was no one in the sunlight. What she cared about, was not. In her eyes, he was just a person, a person that she didn't care about. His internship Shiyu is a very sensitive person.

Perhaps it was because of the environment he had lived in since he was young, but it was easy for him to see if a person had his own existence or not.

Yes, he could act as he pleased.

No, he would learn to please others and make them like him.

Lin Lin was the latter.

Lin Lin did not chase after the person who killed Bai Yu, and let Xi Shiyu think, Lin Lin does not care, did not care about what happened to the people around him, even the Bai Yu who had known Lin Lin for a long time is like that, then what about me?

The fact that they had known each other for so long exploded at that moment. Back then, the current Xi Shiyu was actually just an awkward child.

Even if it was a bit too willful in the apocalypse, it was still important to distinguish between the priority and importance of the matter. It was already not easy to not do anything that would harm the guild.

Lin Lin looked at Bai Yu and asked, "Have you talked to Xi Shiyu before?"

Otherwise, how could she be so clear about what had happened at that time and know Xi Shiyu's feelings? At that time, Bai Yu was clearly on the verge of fainting.

Bai Yu smiled, "Perhaps it's because I have a face that people can easily trust."

Lin Lin only wanted to say one sentence, shameless.

"Lin Lin, no matter what, be it sprinkling salt on Xi Shiyu's wound or breaking the poison in his heart, you have to talk to him."

Bai Yu said, and said the last sentence.

"Didn't you say that we're from the same team?"

Open the door and leave.

There wasn't the slightest bit of procrastination.

Lin Lin went forward, locked the door, sat back on the bed and closed her eyes to cultivate.

Until when night fell and Jiang Yishu called her to eat dinner.

Dinner was simple. There were several cans, a big pot of instant noodles and a hard biscuit for each of them.

Rice, vegetables and meat were something that only happened once in a long time.

After all, it had been half a year since the apocalypse, and the amount of frozen food they could get was getting less and less. Vegetables were even rarer things, and only rice was cheaper.

However, it was only now.

Later on, the seasons and the environment of the apocalypse made the vegetables harder to come by. Even the weaker Adepts were hard to come by, let alone the average person.

The Adepts at that time were sick from lack of vitamins, and their faces were thin and weak. In short, he did not look good at all.

It was only when the power of the Adept was increased that he was able to control his own abilities. It was better to use seeds to produce vegetables that weren't too hard or poisonous.

After the meal, everyone had their own matters to attend to. There were those who wished to cultivate, those who wished to train, and even those who wished to play and rest.

Lin Lin pretended not to see it as well. It was as if she was being lenient towards her own people. There were more people, but she already had a hint, so she had to rely on herself to do most of the work. In the apocalypse, there were too many people who died. You didn't know if the person in front of you would die on a mission, so she didn't have the obligation or the right to supervise the training one by one.

"Xi Shiyu, wait a moment."

Just as Xi Shiyu was about to enter the room, Lin Lin called out to him. Maybe it was just an illusion on Lin Lin's part, but she seemed to see Xi Shiyu's body tremble slightly.

"Sister Lin …" Captain, what's the matter? "

Lin Lin nodded, "Talk to me."

With that, Lin Lin headed to her own room, while Xi Shiyu was stunned for a few seconds, and still obediently followed.

Xi Shiyu closed the door, isolating him from the outside world, and in this room, only he and Lin Lin were present. Even though this was not the first time they were alone together, they suddenly felt a little nervous and irritated.

"Do you want some water?"

Xi Shiyu shook his head, "Is there something important? I need to go back to my room to cultivate after I finish speaking."

In fact, the word "practice" had always been used by Lin Lin. If she said it too many times, Xi Shiyu and the others would naturally use it too.

As for the improvement of superpower, it was related to martial arts or something similar to internal energy. Therefore, in his previous life, Lin Lin had been trying to level up her special ability and cultivate like a martial arts novel.

In this world, Lin Lin and Xi Shiyu cultivated together. After all, in the apocalypse, there were many people who wanted to figure out how to survive in this dangerous world.

Lin Lin stood there and looked at Xi Shiyu. Just like when they first met, to Xi Shiyu, they felt a faint warmth.

"You are very unhappy with me?"

However, the words he spoke lacked the skill to chat.

Xi Shiyu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but's expression was indifferent, no one was angry or anything like that. Only then did he remember that Lin Lin was completely different from the people he knew.

As if she had lost her temper, her small mouth curled up and she said, "No."

Lin Lin laughed lightly, "Xi Shiyu, you look just like a child."

Not only was the cold face Lin Lin very good-looking when she smiled, it was also because it was the first time he saw Lin Lin smiling like that to him.

It seemed that the two of them were very good friends, or perhaps families.

"I'm just a child to begin with," he thought to himself.

"Can you tell me what kind of dissatisfaction you have towards me, child?"

Well, the evidence was confirmed.

Xi Shiyu did not understand Lin Lin's plan at all. Asking him where he was dissatisfied with her in such a direct manner, regardless of whether he was speaking the truth or denying it, it did not seem like it was good.

After struggling for a long time, Xi Shiyu decided to speak the truth. "Mmm."

"Tell me, I was in the wrong. Let me change it."

At this time, Lin Lin was like an adult teaching a child how to be patient and ask himself if he had done anything wrong.

They were completely unlike Lin Lin.

Xi Shiyu slightly opened his mouth. The words that had hovered around his mouth for a long time were still swallowed back, but he felt really uncomfortable in his heart. After choking for a long time, he still asked, "Are you going to chase me away?"

Lin Lin was surprised, "You want me to chase you away?"

Xi Shiyu nodded silently, "Hmm, at the moment, I don't seem to have the right to be your team member."

He clearly said that he would recognize Lin Lin as her captain for eternity, yet, because of his own selfishness, he threw his temper at Lin Lin, and even held back from saying anything afterwards. It was just because of that little bit of laughable ego of his.

Did Lin Lin do anything wrong?

He did not have the qualifications for Lin Lin to care about him, so what right did he have to request so much?

From start to finish, he was the only one who did wrong.

Lin Lin didn't know that Xi Shiyu would walk out of his dead corner so quickly, and even more so didn't expect that he would slowly walk over and gently hug her.

"Sister Lin, can I hug you?"

This was the first time Lin Lin had interacted so intimately with someone since she was reborn. It didn't feel bad.

Xi Shiyu had grown quite a bit taller, but his head was still at the tip of Lin Lin's nose and his hands were around her waist.

She was already hugging him, and yet he still asked her if she could hug him? Could it be that she would have to avoid him like he was some sort of pest?

"One minute."

Qi Shiyu's head arched towards Lin Lin's neck, the furry feeling made Lin Lin feel itchy, and it was good that she did not move again after that, if not, Lin Lin would not have let him move for even a second, and would have pushed him away.

"Sister Lin, can you not chase me away?"

His tone was like that of a child trying to please a parent.

Lin Lin sighed lightly, and said: "Why should I chase you away?"

She had never thought of rushing to study under Shiyu's tutelage. If she had that intention, would she have kept Xi Shiyu here for so long due to her temper?

"I thought …"

Lin Lin quietly listened to what Xi Shiyu was about to say, but after a long time, she did not say anything. Just as he was about to say something, Xi Shiyu finally opened her mouth and choked with sobs.

"Sister Lin, I was wrong."

I was really wrong. I should have known your personality, but I was greedy.
