"Is it okay?" Lu Xingyun asked, not daring to confirm as the two remained silent.
“It should be fine. The system doesn’t require you to hold it in your hand and pass it to the next person. As long as you hold it and take turns, it complies with the rules. I agree. What about you?” Yuan Qingli looked at Bo Zijin.
When Bo Zijing saw Yuan Qingli's gaze fixed on her face, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes: "I don't agree with taking shortcuts."
Yuan Qingli and the other person both sighed inwardly.
“But I will not object to the lady’s decision.” The disgust in Bo Zijin’s eyes instantly turned into a fierce fighting spirit, as if nothing could make him frown.
“Okay, then it’s decided.” Although she didn’t know where Bo Zijin’s hostility towards her came from, Yuan Qingli had no intention of digging into it. Anyway, once this hurdle was cleared up, Xiao Lang would be a stranger to her from now on.
[Beep, the cutie will arrive in 30 seconds. Lucky viewers, please get ready and have fun!]
A moment later, the sound of gears clicking could be heard as a platform about one meter square rose from the ground. In the center of the platform, a palm-sized silver sphere stood obediently.
Below the platform were three small holes, about half a person's height, presumably for the three people to take shelter from the explosion.
The three of them quickly reached out and approached the sphere, but none of them pressed it. They nodded to each other, indicating that silence spoke louder than words.
[Beep.]
The countdown began, and a huge explosion rang out in the air, carrying far and wide.
[Beep.]
As the countdown began again, all three of them felt their hearts pounding.
[Ding.]
Yuan Qingli quickly reached out and pressed her hand on the sphere, her mind racing.
"One!" Yuan Qingli shouted, pulling her hand back. Shouting was the simplest way to gain power in times of danger.
The timing also served as a reminder to Bo Zijin.
Bo Zijin reached out his hand. His hand had distinct knuckles, neat nails, and a subtle sheen, clearly indicating that he took excellent care of it.
However, his hands were clearly a little shy, as if he was desperately trying to avoid Yuan Qingli's delicate hands.
Of course, it's also possible that it's not shyness, but a deep-seated dislike.
"Two." Bo Zijin's voice wasn't loud, but it was still full of power.
Lu Xingyun pressed down at the same time that Bo Zijin withdrew her hand; the difference was less than half a second. It was hard to imagine that these were three strangers working together for the first time.
Lu Xingyun's hands were fair and slender, and he used considerable force.
"three."
Yuan Qingli quickly took over.
"Four."
Bo Zijin's hand unconsciously drifted away from Yuan Qingli, as if Yuan Qingli's hand were a poisonous insect or a ferocious beast.
But the sphere is only so big, and inevitably, Bo Zijin leaned towards Lu Xingyun.
Lu Xingyun looked up at Bo Zijin in a daze, his heart surging with excitement. What was wrong with this domineering CEO? Why did he have to grab his own hand instead of touching the beautiful woman's?
Could it be...?
A thought flashed through Lu Xingyun's mind, and she couldn't help but shudder, quickly moving away from him.
So Lu Xingyun leaned against Yuan Qingli again, and Yuan Qingli frowned in confusion. What's going on?
Fortunately, she was a generous woman and didn't mind Lu Xingyun getting close to her.
If she dodges again, it will be a complete Möbius strip, and the three of them will start circling.
And so, under some unclear circumstances, Yuan Qingli and Lu Xingyun quietly grew closer, while Bo Zijin remained alone on the other side.
A second is fast, so fast that it's not even enough for a breath; yet a second is also slow, so slow that the three people's thoughts can fly thousands of miles away.
"seven."
After Yuan Qingli announced the number, she remained standing, showing no intention of dodging.
Lu Xingyun glanced at it approvingly, but didn't ask any questions.
"Eight." Bo Zijing's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of energy. Her gaze towards Yuan Qingli still held disgust, but it had lessened somewhat.
"Nine." As if hearing a bugle call, the three quickly turned around, squatted down, covered their heads, and huddled into the cave.
