Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 191 Choice

Actually, Chu Deng didn't need to be in such a hurry, since no one dared to compete with her. Xie Xingzhou thought this, but still couldn't help muttering, "But we still have to be careful."

After saying that, fearing that Chu Deng would not take the antidote and that he would be embarrassed, Xie Xingzhou simply squatted down and stuffed the antidote into Chu Deng's shoe.

Chu Deng stared speechlessly at the back of Xie Xingzhou's head. What was wrong with this guy?

His interruption finally brought Chu Deng's empty heart back to life.

She lifted her leg, pulled out the antidote, stuffed it into her pocket, and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Xie Xingzhou squatted down without getting up, and helped Chu Deng collect the spider silk from the corners and edges, spreading it out neatly in his hand. It was more pleasing to look at it that way.

Watching him meticulously arrange the spider silk, even if it took him some time, Chu Deng couldn't help but recall the past.

In the teachers' office, Pei Hanxing lowered her eyes and carefully straightened the corners of the test paper, which were curling up. Finally, she used their homeroom teacher Zhao Lesheng's glass water cup to press down on the corners of the test paper.

Later, one of the teachers, in a fit of anger, slammed his fist on the table. The force was so great that it caused the desks of the other teachers to shake as if they were being shaken. Old Zhao, the homeroom teacher, used to carry a double-walled glass water cup, which was already a bit unstable because it was holding the test papers. After a few shakes, it fell to the ground and shattered.

Pei Hanxing looked at the broken water glass on the ground with some helplessness. Chu Deng sat opposite him, coughed, and when she saw his calm eyes looking at her, she slowly opened her mouth.

"The first prize is exactly the same, I don't need it, do you want it?"

In the early years, the school used to award prizes in cash. Later, after being reported for being too materialistic, they simply bought a bunch of water cups and notebooks as prizes, more than enough. The homeroom teachers also gave out the same prizes for their competitions.

Their items were even from the same batch; the words engraved on their water cups were exactly the same.

Pei Hanxing was silent for a moment, then replied softly, "Yes."

Recalling the past, Chu Deng pursed her lips, and her desire to question Jie Xingzhou faded considerably.

"Shao Xingyu, a young master, got lost while hiking with his friends and unexpectedly got tied up in a cave by a spider demon."

"Oh." Unexpectedly, the person's name also contained the character "Xing" (星). Thinking that both times she saw Pei Hanxing, he was trapped in some place, Chu Deng actually felt a little comforted.

Then, thinking of Pei Hanxing, who was far away in Antarctica, Chu Deng remained silent for a long time. Looking at the large mass of white silk she was holding, she finally made up her mind.

After sending Jin Dahai back, we'll find a way to go to Antarctica.

Chu Deng had always thought Pei Hanxing was dead, and because she couldn't leave due to the insect plague in the south, she gave up the idea of ​​going to Antarctica to retrieve Pei Hanxing's body.

Now that they've discovered the person is not only alive but also trapped, they desperately want to fly to Antarctica immediately.

But Jin Dahai's safety cannot be taken lightly; she doesn't trust others with her care.

Chu Deng knew that in her choices, Pei Hanxing had always been a last resort, behind her family, behind her friends, and even behind her friend's father.

Ultimately, it's just because she doesn't love Pei Hanxing that much yet. In contrast, Pei Hanxing, who kept calling her name in his desperate situation, loved her to the point of being unforgettable, almost to the point of making him live on the brink of death.

The imbalance... Thinking of this, Chu Deng even felt a little breathless.

"By the way, could I ask you for a favor?" Xie Xingzhou didn't get up, but squatted on the ground and looked up at Chu Deng with a fawning smile.

Interrupted from his thoughts by Xie Xingzhou, Chu Deng paused almost imperceptibly, then asked without changing his expression, "What is it?"

Xie Xingzhou didn't stand up rashly. "It's about that incident where we saved Shao Xingyu. Can't we give our search and rescue team a little recognition?"

“Okay.” Chu Deng nodded. This little bit of empty fame meant nothing to her. “By the way, I saw the snake cave that Shao Xingyu just mentioned. It’s not far from this cave, but there were only some bones inside. There weren’t any mutated snakes. I’ll take a look with you later.”

I wonder if it was the snake venom that allowed her to see Pei Hanxing's perspective. I'll catch a few to test it out later.

Xie Xingzhou nodded repeatedly, stood up and reached out to Chu Deng, "Yes, yes, it's perfect to have you here! Don't tire yourself out, I'll carry it for you."

His sycophantic manner made Chu Deng's teeth ache.
