Chapter 98 Something's Wrong
The next day, Captain Wang sent someone to calculate the rewards for everyone. To be honest, Jiang Li and the others didn't lack points at all, but since the base had given them, they had to accept them. So Gu Jin took the base cards of the group and followed the base staff.
The others stayed inside the villa; even Fu Xiaxia and Fang Qingxun didn't go out. They were all quite tired from yesterday's battle and didn't really want to go out for the time being.
For a long time afterward, nothing major happened, and we learned a little about the situation at the base from Captain Wang and his team.
After Captain Wang returned, the base sent people out many times. One reason was to hunt down the wild animals that remained in the base. The other reason was that they were still not at ease with the trenches that had been blasted out before, so they set up some traps and alarm devices nearby, and also installed some electric fences on the edges.
Thirdly, the base plans to rebuild the wall that was pushed down using the best materials to prevent such an incident from happening again.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, and Jiang Li and the others had some free time again.
However, Jiang Li noticed that something was off between Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia. They seemed to be deliberately avoiding each other. Fu Xiaxia would definitely not be around when Fang Qingxun was there, and Fang Qingxun would avoid Fu Xiaxia whenever he saw her.
If they are in the same space, the two of them will try not to talk to each other, and even Gu Jin and the others have noticed it.
Just like today, Gu Jin and the other three were sitting in the living room discussing why the two of them were acting strangely, when they heard someone coming down from upstairs. They stopped talking and looked over, only to find that it was Fang Qingxun coming down.
"Why are you all downstairs today? What are you talking about?"
Fang Qingxun greeted several people.
"Oh, nothing, we were just discussing how things are going up at the base."
Jiang Li replied, and Gu Jin and the others nodded in agreement, indicating that this was the topic they were discussing.
Fang Qingxun was about to say something when she heard a voice behind her. Her body stiffened instantly, though it wasn't obvious, Jiang Li still noticed.
Jiang Li looked up at Fu Xiaxia, who had appeared in everyone's sight. When Fu Xiaxia came down, she also saw Fang Qingxun at the bottom of the stairs and paused for a moment.
"Um, I think I forgot something?"
Then he ran back upstairs.
Fang Qingxun finally relaxed after Fu Xiaxia left, but his condition was clearly not right.
"Well, I'm going out for a walk, it's too stuffy at home."
After Fang Qingxun finished speaking, she went out. The people sitting in the living room looked at each other in confusion. Jiang Li silently pointed upstairs and Fang Qingxun who had just left. Gu Jin and the others also shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
Jiang Li beckoned the group closer and then whispered.
Jiang Li: "Do you think they had a fight?"
Gu Jin: "It doesn't seem like an argument to me this time."
Shi Lin: "It doesn't seem like he's in good shape."
Shi Yuan: "I also think it's unlikely. They used to make up quickly after arguing, but it's been so many days, and they don't look like they've been arguing."
At first, everyone thought they had a fight, since they often do, but this time it seemed a little different.
Jiang Li: "I don't think I've heard them arguing these past few days. So what do you think is going on between them?"
The others shook their heads, unable to guess.
Jiang Li: "Why don't you go and ask Fang Qingxun?"
Gu Jin: "It's possible, but who's going to ask? I'm not very good at this kind of thing."
Gu Jin looked at the three of them.
Jiang Li waved his hands repeatedly.
"I definitely can't do it. If I, a girl, ask him, what if there's something private he won't tell me?"
Jiang Li and Gu Jin then looked at Shi Lin and Shi Yuan. Shi Lin was definitely out of the question. Given his taciturn personality, Fang Qingxun didn't want to be alone with him anyway, so asking Shi Lin would probably yield no results.
So the three of them turned their attention to Shi Yuan; he was the best candidate.
"I……"
Shi Yuan wanted to say something, but Jiang Li looked at him encouragingly and spoke.
"Keep it up, I believe in you."
Then he left without looking back.
"come on."
After Gu Jin finished speaking, she followed Jiang Li away.
Shi Yuan turned to look at Shi Lin.
"elder brother……"
Shi Lin patted Shi Yuan on the shoulder, and then left.
Time is far away...
Hey, he doesn't know either.
Seeing that the three had already disappeared, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to find Fang Qingxun.
It was quite some time before Shi Yuan returned. Shi Yuan and Shi Lin knocked on Jiang Li and Gu Jin's room door. When Jiang Li opened the door and saw them, he knew that the matter had been resolved. So he invited the two of them into the room and took out two stools from his spatial storage for them to sit on.
After the four of them sat down, Jiang Li asked Shi Yuan in a low voice.
"So, what happened to them?"
"Oh, it's Fang Qing looking for Xia Xia."
Shi Yuan said casually.
"Oh, kiss...what?! You kissed Xiaxia?"
Jiang Li exclaimed in surprise, but then, remembering the poor soundproofing, he asked in a low voice. The others also looked at Shi Yuan in shock.
Does Fang Qingxun like Xia Xia?
"I don't know. Fang Qingxun himself couldn't say either. He said that Fu Xiaxia was his younger sister."
Shi Yuan said again.
"Don't know? What do you mean you don't know? You kissed him and you still don't know?"
Jiang Li was speechless. They had already kissed and he didn't even know? Could it be that Fang Qingxun was a scumbag?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Shi Yuan realized they had misunderstood, so he quickly spoke up.
"He kissed me by accident."
"careless?"
Even Gu Jin was puzzled.
Shi Yuan then told the others the whole story.
It turned out that on the day they went out on a mission, in the back mountain, when Captain Wang was blasting the mountain, Fu Xiaxia lost her balance due to the vibration from the gunpowder. At the same time, a bird tried to fly over and attack Fu Xiaxia. Fang Qingxun saw this and pulled Fu Xiaxia up with his hand.
As a result, the two accidentally kissed on the lips. He was stunned at the time, but he didn't think much about it and was only focused on dealing with the wild beast.
But after they came back, the two of them felt very awkward whenever they met, so he deliberately avoided them.
After learning the whole story, Jiang Li said that Shi Yuan was really speaking in a lot of breathless silence. He even thought Fang Qingxun was a scumbag who would kiss someone and then not take responsibility.
"So that means he himself doesn't know whether he likes Xiaxia or not?"
Gu Jin said.
"Yes."
Shi Yuan nodded.
"I think he likes it, but he just hasn't realized it yet."
Jiang Li analyzed.
"Why?"
Shi Lin was puzzled, and the other two didn't understand either.
"Let me give you an example. If it hadn't been Fang Qingxun, but you two had accidentally kissed Fu Xiaxia, how would you have reacted?"
Jiang Li asked the three of them.
The three of them thought about it. They had always regarded Fu Xiaxia as a younger sister. They had even shared a room with her when they went on missions before, and they never felt anything was wrong with it.
If it's an accidental kiss, it will definitely be awkward at first, since I've always treated her like a younger sister. But I'll apologize to Fu Xiaxia, and things will be fine after we talk it out.
