“Huh?” Li Li stood up along with her. “…Isn't that inappropriate? Suddenly going over there like this, they might think we're up to something.”
Lü Ang recalled the scene of Bai Youwei threatening them with the toy gun and also felt it was unwise. He advised, “Don't go. That group isn't easy to deal with.”
Zhu Shu said with a smile, “Just now, when we were getting the bedding, we chatted a bit. They seem like very easygoing people. It should be fine, right, Li Li?”
Li Li hesitated for a moment. Just now, only Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin were present during the conversation. One was Zhu Shu's fan, and the other was a harmless child, so of course, it felt pleasant. However, the cripple had remained silent inside the tent, and they hadn’t interacted with the tall man or the old man…
Su Man sneered, “Why stop her? She's a big star; her fans will feel sorry for her. Why should you worry about her?”
Li Li frowned. Although he also felt it was inappropriate to go over, Su Man's words were too harsh. She was always targeting Zhu Shu.
Li Li was about to speak up for Zhu Shu when Zhu Shu slowly sat down, a nonchalant smile on her face. “If everyone thinks it's inappropriate, I won't go.”
“Who are you trying to make feel sorry for you? You make it sound like we're restricting your freedom.” Su Man said coldly, “If you want to go, go. No one's stopping you.”
“Su Man, are you ever going to stop?” Li Li snapped. “Who are you talking to with that sarcastic tone? If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth! No one thinks you're mute!”
“What's wrong with saying a few words to her?” Su Man abruptly stood up. “Have you said any less to me? Is she so precious that she can't handle a single word? I'm telling you, Li Li! We came all this way to find you! Not to wait on this spoiled little miss!”
“Did I ask you to come?!” Li Li retorted. “Did I f*cking ask you to come?!”
Su Man's eyes suddenly reddened. “If I wasn't worried something happened to you, you think I would…”
“Who needs you to come?!” Li Li interrupted her. “I think you didn't come to find me at all! You came specifically to annoy me!”
“Oh my! Why are you two arguing again?!” Lü Ang’s head hurt as he grumbled, “Can you both just stop talking? What's there to argue about?!”
Su Man said angrily, “Do you think I want to argue? Isn't it because someone is stirring things up?!”
“Enough!” Li Li roared at her. “Stop your insinuations. Zhu Shu has never said a bad word about you! You don't need to throw mud here!”
“Does she need to say anything? All she needs is a look, a few aggrieved complaints, and you're circling around her like a dog!”
“Su Man! Say that again and see what happens!…”
Yan Qingwen suddenly stood up.
His movement was abrupt, and the two arguing people froze, looking at him in unison.
“I suggest you go back to your tents and calm down,” Yan Qingwen said indifferently. “They're waiting to watch your show over there. If you don't mind, you can continue.”
Li Li and Su Man were stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look towards the bonfire in the distance. Perhaps their argument had been too loud, as everyone over there was now looking at them—
Each of them held a bowl, sipping soup, looking like they were enjoying the drama with great interest.
Su Man bit her lip and angrily returned to her tent, pulling the curtain shut with a forceful thud!
Li Li was equally displeased. He sat down with a dark expression, his back towards them.
Zhu Shu, however, waved towards them generously, as if she wasn't embarrassed at all.
Tan Xiao enthusiastically waved back.
“Who are those people?” Shen Mo asked.
“A female celebrity, a rich second-generation, and the remaining three… I don't know.” Bai Youwei said slowly.
