Huo Li Ruo chuckled, his androgynous face filled with confidence and flamboyance.
“Likewise, likewise.” He looked at Yu Qing Qian slightly provocatively and asked: “How about we compete?”
Yu Qing Qian asked with a half-smile: “Compete in what?” She already had a guess, but she wasn’t very interested.
“Compete in the Plant Inscription Department’s test later to see which one of us will perform better.” Huo Li Ruo had a complicated feeling towards Yu Qing Qian—a fondness, but at the same time, he wanted to surpass her.
Yu Qing Qian said in amusement: “I don’t do things that aren’t beneficial.”
Huo Li Ruo had already guessed that Yu Qing Qian would say this. He leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two could hear, “I heard you’re looking for the Serpent Ring Herb. If you beat me, I’ll give you a chance to obtain it, how about using that as a bet?”
Hearing his words, Yu Qing Qian’s gentle eyes flashed with a sharp look. She raised her eyes and met those extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, her voice a bit cold: “You’re investigating me?”
Huo Li Ruo didn’t expect Yu Qing Qian’s expression to change so quickly, but his mood became happier. He liked to see her break her elegant and gentle face.
She was obviously a wild leopard filled with sharp teeth, but she just had to look like a gentle and harmless rabbit.
“No, I just accidentally discovered that you were collecting information about the Serpent Ring Herb, so I paid special attention to it.” Huo Li Ruo knew Yu Qing Qian’s bottom line, so he naturally wouldn’t really touch it.
Yu Qing Qian smiled faintly, then returned to her elegant and graceful demeanour. The cold and stern look just now seemed like it had never occurred before.
“Sure, I agree to compete with you.” Knowing that Huo Li Ruo wasn’t some easy person, she asked in a whisper: “Although I don’t think I’ll lose, but I still want to ask, if you win, what price will I have to pay?”
This was just her curiosity about this fox. She didn’t think she’d lose to this boy who hadn’t even matured.
“If you lose, then stay away from Feng Chen.” Huo Li Ruo said his thoughts straightforwardly.
Yu Qing Qian was slightly stunned, then winked at Huo Li Ruo with a smile, “So you actually like Feng Chen! You’ve got good taste, but there’s no chance.”
Making herself stay away from Feng Chen, the first thing that Yu Qing Qian thought of was that Huo Li Ruo, this kid, liked Feng Chen. If it was because of her, then Huo Li Ruo should be asking Feng Chen to stay away from her.
Of course, this was also because during the apocalypse, women were rare, and many men fell in love and got married to each other, so Yu Qing Qian’s imagination subconsciously went wild.
Huo Li Ruo watched Yu Qing Qian change from surprise to being filled with smiles and thought that she actually didn’t care about Feng Chen, but who knew that he would hear words from her that made him want to vomit blood.
He glared at Yu Qing Qian fiercely, “What nonsense are you talking about? He’s a man, how can I like him?”
“Stop making excuses, explaining is just concealing.” Yu Qing Qian joked.
“…” Huo Li Ruo really felt like there was blood stuck in his chest right now, neither rising nor falling.
Just what was this woman thinking about?
If it weren’t that he wasn’t able to get close to Feng Chen, let alone defeat him, he would’ve threatened him to stay away from Yu Qing Qian.
He didn’t know why, but whenever he saw Yu Qing Qian and Feng Chen interact, with familiar understanding between the two, it made him very annoyed and inexplicably upset.
That was why he came up with the idea of making a bet to keep Yu Qing Qian away from Feng Chen, but who knew that this woman would misinterpret his meaning.
“Concealing what? I sit upright and walk straight, don’t think nonsense.” Huo Li Ruo snorted coldly, “Anyways, the conditions for the competition are here, are you willing?”
