Chapter 1331: Chapter 753: Weathering the Storm to See the Moon Clear_2
The thought had barely settled when Crescent couldnât help but say,
"Black Bear, now that you need my help, you start making faces at me, but where were you when I was in trouble?"
"Have you ever thought about helping me? Even if I asked for your help, did you ever lend me a hand? You didnât help me at all and even made things worse."
"Given the way youâve treated me, how could I possibly treat you well? Donât even think about getting me to plead for you."
Plead for mercy?
That was utterly impossible.
She was not so masochistic.
How could she even think about pleading for mercy?
Besides, she had waited a long time for this scene.
Black Bear didnât expect her to say this and felt quite bitter.
But after thinking for a moment, he finally spoke slowly.
"Donât think that I havenât helped at all, I did try to persuade Baldy to stop making a fuss, isnât that helping you?"
"But how do you treat us? You never really wanted to help us, you canât be so cold-blooded and heartless."
"If you become so cold-blooded and heartless, our disappointment will only deepen, and we may even engage in more extreme behaviors!"
Black Bear was lightly threatening Crescent.
Qin Yuan, however, let out a cold chuckle.
His laughter was bone-chilling.
Hearing this laugh, Black Bear immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Yuan any longer, or to speak.
Where dared he speak?
Speaking up might just lead to a brutal confrontation.
So better to keep quiet if possible.
At this moment, Crescentâs face broke into a smile, and she felt much more confident.
The next moment, Crescent turned her gaze to Qin Yuan and slowly said,
"Thank you so much for helping me out here, but I havenât told you my name yet. Iâm Crescent, and you are?"
Crescent?
Such a strange name?
A nickname or a title?
Yeziâs name was somewhat similar to Crescentâs.
But it didnât seem like someone from above sent to help him.
After all, Crescent didnât look the least bit capable of fighting.
Just too weak.
Qin Yuan discarded the thought.
But he knew that nobody aboard recognized him.
So, Qin Yuan spoke very indifferently, "Yuanqing."
"So youâre called Yuanqing, thatâs a pretty nice name," Crescent couldnât help but smile.
Qin Yuan didnât say anything else.
He looked back at Baldy.
Baldy was already very weak.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan was somewhat satisfied and his lips curled into a smile,
"Alright, you should stop now."
He knew Crescent was satisfied.
Most importantly, he was satisfied.
Since they were satisfied, it was certainly time to call it quits.
He didnât want Baldy to exhaust himself too much.
After all, Baldy would have to join them soon.
In the next instant, Baldyâs eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly let go.
No longer hitting himself.
At last, the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.
Shange and Ling Yu hurried over to help Baldy up.
Baldy felt dizzy and his head throbbed.
After slapping himself so many times, how could he not feel dizzy and have a headache?
It was truly unbearable.
He had never felt so miserable before.
This time was truly an exception.
Sitting on the ground, Black Bear was stunned.
So they hadnât thought about helping him up?
Didnât they see he was already sitting on the ground?
Thinking this, Black Bear became dissatisfied,
"Why are you only thinking of helping Baldy up? Donât you see that Iâm still on the ground? Donât you understand who came first?"
"I was the first to be done; you should have helped me up first. Whatâs the point of prioritizing Baldy?"
"Isnât this differential treatment? Why do you have to treat us differently? Canât you treat everyone equally?"
When he had finished speaking, he realized that Brother Shanâs expression had become slightly grave.
Brother Shan was in an extremely foul mood.
After being messed with so much by them, how could his mood be anything but foul?
They were really too sentimental.
If they werenât sentimental, they wouldnât have made such a fuss.
After letting the baldie sit down, Brother Shan immediately turned to Black Bear and said with deep meaning,
"Black Bear, weâre still men, after all. We shouldnât fuss over the small stuff. Besides, Baldie is the one who got hurt worse."
"Itâs precisely because Baldieâs injury was more serious that we helped him up straight away. All you did was slap yourself a few times."
"It didnât affect your ability to walk, so you can still stand up by yourself, right? You canât get too caught up in the details. Once you do, things can get pretty ugly."
Itâs not like it was their first time making a scene.
Who knows how many times itâs happened.
So now, besides feeling helpless, he was just helpless.
He had already become somewhat numb.
He just wanted to rest for a bit and then speed things along, ready for another round with this kid.
After a while, Black Bearâs mood became even more complicated, and he was very dissatisfied.
"Brother Shan, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Iâm making a mountain out of a molehill? You never intended to help me up."
"Still saying Iâm overreacting, if you helped Baldie up first, you should have helped me up afterward."
"And youâre implying that my slapping myself a few times doesnât matter and therefore I donât need to be helped up, right?"
Brother Shan was now overwhelmed.
Black Bear really knew how to stir things up.
Besides feeling helpless, he was still helpless.
He didnât want to bother with these issues anymore.
So, Brother Shan just plopped down on the side and closed his eyes to sleep.
Qin Yuan found Black Bear quite amusing.
The issue had already been resolved, yet Black Bear insisted on bringing this up.
Wasnât this just causing the problem to resurface?
They had a good show to watch once again.
Qin Yuan glanced over at Yezi and saw she was looking at him the whole time.
So the two exchanged stares.
The next moment, Qin Yuan moved his gaze away without expression.
But then Yeziâs voice came through.
"Yuanqing, arenât you curious why Iâm alone here?"
Qin Yuan didnât reply.
But after a moment, Qin Yuan added, "Not curious."
He already knew the reason, what was there to be curious about?
Definitely not curious.
And there was nothing to be curious about.
At his words, a flash of puzzlement crossed Yeziâs face.
"Why arenât you curious? You didnât see it? Shouldnât a âsonâ be naturally curious? And you have been here the whole time."
"You havenât gone inside to take a look. So you should be curious, and once you are, Iâll tell you why."
"If youâre not curious, then I canât tell you, after all, if youâre not curious, I certainly canât impose it on you, right?"
She spoke earnestly.
Qin Yuanâs lips twitched a few times.
He felt incredibly helpless.
But he said nothing.
Yezi sighed and then slowly said,
"It seems that youâre really not curious at all, fine, then I wonât tell you."
Qin Yuan simply responded with one word, "Mhm."
It would have been better if nothing had been said.
The more that was said, the more annoying it became.
Yeziâs lips twitched viciously.
Her face already showed a helpless expression.
Wasnât this just deliberately provoking her?
Forget it, considering he had saved her, she wouldnât get angry.
After a while, Ling Yu couldnât help but speak up,
"Your name is Yezi, right? I feel like youâre just looking for something to talk about. Donât you think this is just awkward banter? He clearly doesnât want to deal with you."
"And here you are babbling away. Arenât you just trying to get his attention and strike up a conversation? So have you liked him all along,"
"Or did you just start feeling something for him? Didnât you say youâre a jinx? Knowing that youâre a jinxâ"
Ling Yuâs eyes suddenly sharpened.
As he sized up Yezi for a moment.
Yezi felt uncomfortable and instinctively stepped back a few paces.
Ling Yu questioned, "So why would you bear to be with someone else? Do you really have the heart to harm him to death?"
