Chapter 266: Discovering the Thief’s Unrepentant Determination
The night sky of Tianhaixing is high and deep, and it has a mysterious temptation that makes people want to explore and embrace it.
Just like the feeling someone gives Rongzhen at this moment.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Xingyuan came to the beach after finishing his work and asked the girl who was sitting there quietly gazing at the starry sky.
Rong Zhen knew it was him without turning around. He sighed inwardly and replied, "Looking at the stars."
Chen Xingyuan's ears moved slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
Look at the stars.
The stars are far away in the sky, yet also close at hand.
He smiled and held out his hand to Rongzhen. Meeting Rongzhen's puzzled gaze, he suggested, "Get a tube of abrasion medicine."
Rongzhen thought he was injured somewhere, so she quickly took out ointment and bandages from the space button and gave them to him.
Unexpectedly, after he took it, he took her hand and gently but unyieldingly opened her palm, revealing the wound on the palm.
Those were left behind when she rowed the boat hard during the day. Rongzhen herself didn't pay much attention to it, but she didn't expect him to find it.
"It's just a minor injury. No need to trouble you." Rong Zhen said as he tried to pull his hand away.
Unsuccessful.
"A minor injury is still an injury, don't move!" The man warned, bent his knees and squatted, lowered his head and concentrated on applying ointment to her. His expression could not be seen under the scattered hair, and his movements were strong yet cautious, and his meaning was obvious.
Rongzhen couldn't even pretend to be stupid, the worry in her heart finally died.
What should I do? The male protagonist is here again!
But he hasn't expressed his feelings clearly yet. He just takes care of her and shows kindness to her. How can she refuse him?
Stay away? It seems that I can’t stay away at the moment.
Tell him directly? It seems a bit presumptuous.
Pretending to like Hua Qiao, who was dressed as a man? It was useless.
Alas, it seems that she can only use her ultimate move to give the interstellar boys a shock from the 21st century.
"Captain." Rong Zhen opened his eyes and faced the guy directly, asking him sincerely, "What do you think of Sichuan pepper?"
"She's good, but not suitable for you." Chen Xingyuan said bluntly.
In interstellar terminology, the male he and the female she have different pronunciations. When Chen Xingyuan mentioned Hua Qiao before, he clearly used the male he, but this time when answering Rong Zhen, he used the female she.
What does this mean?
This means he already knew Hua Qiao was a girl!
Rongzhen opened her mouth in surprise and even forgot her plan to tell him that she liked the same sex.
"How did you know?!" She blurted out the words and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind her rang out at the same time.
The two of them turned their heads immediately and saw Hua Qiao's frightened pale face and green coconut balls scattered on the ground.
She came to give them coconuts, but she didn't expect to hear the conversation in which her identity was exposed. She was so scared that she dared not move. Facing the gazes of the two men, she laughed as if she was crying, and trembled as she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
She was the one who impersonated, she was the one who made the mistake, and now she is the one who has been exposed. What can she say?
It seems that nothing you say is right and they are all excuses.
Rongzhen felt that it was the end.
Not only was the heroine discovered for some reason, but she also failed at the critical moment. Why don’t you try to defend yourself? Why did you suddenly become so tongue-tied?
Hua Qiao was so frightened that she couldn't speak. Chen Xingyuan opened his mouth to say something, but Rong Zhen subconsciously leaned forward, covered his mouth and eyes, and said to him, "You didn't see anything, you know that?"
After that, he said to Hua Qiao, who was standing there in a daze, "You didn't hear anything, go back!"
Hua Qiao was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. When she heard her words, tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded, turned around and ran away quickly.
Although she knew that running away was shameful, she really didn't dare to face it. She asked her to hide first and then find a way to explain to the captain later.
"Stop!" Chen Xingyuan pulled Rong Zhen's hand and spoke before she ran far away.
Hua Qiao stumbled, not daring to disobey, but also lacking the courage to turn around.
Chen Xingyuan didn't argue with her about this. He just held Rong Zhen's hand and said calmly, "Our team can't be without anyone in the competition, so you don't have to worry about me revealing your identity. But you need to be more careful from now on and don't let the other two teammates discover your secret."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Captain!" Hua Qiao was very surprised. She turned around and bowed to express her gratitude, wiping her tears. She looked so pitiful.
Oh, look how scared the child is, it’s like the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing.
Rongzhen broke free from someone's dirty hands, stood up and picked up coconuts, wanting to leave this private space for the two of them.
Naturally, it didn't work.
Hua Qiao felt relieved after receiving the guarantee, and turned around and ran away with great tact.
But Chen Xingyuan still didn't leave, and took the initiative to help her open the coconut and peel the coconut meat.
Rong Zhen had no choice but to continue the topic that had just been interrupted, "Captain, do you think Lin Sen likes girls?"
"She is interested in the tides, what do you think?" Chen Xingyuan asked back and handed over a glass of coconut milk.
Rongzhen waved his hand and refused, "I don't like this."
So what does it mean, you know?
Chen Xingyuan then brought the cup to his lips, took a sip and said, "How can you know if you like it if you don't try it?"
He still has evil intentions.
Rong Zhen was choked with words and reluctantly changed the subject, asking him how he discovered Hua Qiao's identity, hoping to direct his attention back on track and shift it to the real person.
Chen Xingyuan knew when to stop, so he agreed with her and said it was the pink box.
There are many sisters in his family, so he knows exactly what the things in the box are used for.
Precisely because he knew this, he was surprised when he saw those pills, because they were the cheapest and inferior products sold on the market, with very poor efficacy and side effects. They were definitely not the competition supplies prepared by the event organizers.
At first he thought Rongzhen bought it for herself, but after close contact he found that Rongzhen was not on her menstrual period, and her family background was not bad, so she had enough money to buy medicine.
Considering the people present at the time, Chen Xingyuan's suspicious gaze fell on Hua Qiao.
Then after further observation, the truth is not difficult to discover.
"What about Lin Sen?" Rong Zhen expressed her incomprehension. Even if she was excluded, the next person to be suspected in the team should be another girl who was openly mentioned.
How did he aim at the real target so quickly? Was it the protagonist's sixth sense?
Chen Xingyuan: "She is from Green Forest Star."
What happened to being from Green Forest Planet? Rong Zhen quickly dug up relevant memories and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
It turns out that girls from Green Forest Star are born without that kind of trouble and can reproduce normally. I really envy her.
Well, it seems that it was not unfair for the heroine to be discovered. Even with her help, her identity would still be seen through by the hero.
This part is not in the plot, but maybe this is the beginning of their relationship.
It’s a pity that the male protagonist insisted on running off track and falling!
Rong Zhen was helpless and powerless, so she tentatively asked, "What if I want to withdraw from the competition..."
If she can't afford to offend, she can afford to hide.
"I won't agree." As expected, Chen Xingyuan interrupted her and flatly refused.
Knowing this would happen, Rongzhen was not surprised at all. He scratched his cheek with a headache and decided to continue playing dumb.
The waves beat against the rocks. The five people spent a peaceful night on the island and set off the next day in high spirits.
Thanks to the discovery of the island group, they are already far ahead of other teams, but it is far from enough, because the Starry Sky Team wants not only the first place in this game, but the first place after the end of the entire season!
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and students still need to work hard.
Their good luck for the day started from the island group. After that, islands appeared one after another. Some were captured by them, while others were snatched away by other teams. Overall, they won more than they lost.
Everyone was very measured in their moves and didn't waste too much time fighting.
Until someone discovered that they could seize the island counts of other teams, the relatively peaceful situation suddenly became chaotic.
"You can even discover this? Which bastard did it?" Kong Haichao was impressed.
Chen Xingyuan contacted other commanders and learned the relevant information. "Someone stole the watch of another team leader and accidentally discovered that they could transfer the other team's island count to their own team."
Then Pandora's box was opened.
Now they not only have to guard against creatures in the sea, but also against the covetousness of other teams.
Although there were disputes and conflicts before, they were definitely not as intense and dangerous as after this incident.
"Be careful to stay vigilant and don't let your guard down." Chen Xingyuan reminded them and started planning their next journey again.
The Starry Sky Team is now at the top of the list, like a fat fish hanging over the heads of other teams. In order to avoid being surrounded and attacked by them, it is better to find a unique way to survive.
Therefore, Chen Xingyuan changed the route in time and chose to lead his teammates to a remote area.
There are few people there and it is quiet, so you might even have a great harvest.
The other teammates had no objections. While other teams were scrambling to get ahead, their team quietly withdrew from the battlefield and the cat sneaked away.
It turned out that the path they took was correct, and there were many islands in remote areas.
However, these islands are relatively hidden, and some are even hidden under the sea. If people stand on them, the sea water can reach their ankles. But they are indeed islands, but they are flooded by sea water due to seasonal reasons.
There are many similar islands, which make the Starry Sky Team richer.
Lin Sen exclaimed happily: "Captain has good vision. We are going to win again this time."
As time goes by, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm sea ahead, pulling the assault boat and trying to drag them into the undercurrent on the seabed!
