Chapter 382: 216 Bait (Second Update)

The two young girls’ eyes flickered when they got a clear look at Fang Yuxin, a mix of jealousy and malicious cruelty flashing briefly. But when Bai Ye turned his head, their faces actually turned slightly red as they looked at the handsome Bai Ye, greedily eyeing him.

Fang Yuxin frowned and walked over to Bai Ye, looking dissatisfied at the two girls, "I asked you a question? Why don’t you answer? Who taught you to keep staring at someone like that?"

Bai Ye heard this and, although he knew Fang Yuxin was just pretending to be confrontational, couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter uncontrollably. Fang Yuxin’s words gave him the sweet illusion that she was jealous, a sweetness suddenly spreading in his heart, yet what followed was the sour taste of reason.

However, he had grown used to maintaining a poker face in front of outsiders, especially enemies, so he revealed none of his thoughts and just looked a bit unwell.

The two young girls, however, were dissatisfied with Fang Yuxin’s attitude. Fang Yuxin’s beautiful appearance and her clean aura made them very envious, and almost the instant they set eyes on her, they felt hostility and malicious thoughts, wishing she would end up in an even more miserable situation than themselves.

Fang Yuxin’s demeanor angered them, and the younger one with a melon-seed-shaped face retorted unhappily, "He was looking at him, not you, don’t flatter yourself!"

Fang Yuxin wouldn’t get angry over what she said, but Bai Ye frowned, and his gaze started to grow colder. Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Fang Yuxin quickly said to Bai Ye, "Look at these two’s attitude, they’re clearly up to no good. And you still want to ask them for directions."

Hearing the hint in Fang Yuxin’s words and knowing she wanted to keep playing the part, Bai Ye had to cooperate, saying, "I didn’t expect things to turn out this way either. Besides, they seem to mean no harm. Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand?"

As soon as he said this, the younger melon-seed-faced girl immediately said, "Of course, we mean no harm! We live nearby and are very familiar with the area. We saw you were stuck here and thought you might be in trouble, so we came over to help. We didn’t expect to be chastised for trying to be good Samaritans."

Bai Ye’s expression turned even uglier—this woman actually cursed Fang Yuxin by likening her to a dog!

He was about to get angry but was held back by Fang Yuxin. He looked at her unhappily, wanting to say they should just drop the act, but he heard Fang Yuxin already speaking, "You’re young, but why do you speak so unkindly? Okay, I misunderstood you; that’s my fault. You really know this area well? Could you tell us how to detour so we can avoid this death trap and get back on the highway?"

The melon-seed-faced girl was already feeling triumphant over Fang Yuxin’s discomfort, and upon hearing this, she smirked even more, "Didn’t you just think we were up to no good? Why should I give you directions now?"

Fang Yuxin’s face flushed as if she was too angry to retort. It was a while before she could say, "Just tell us what you want in exchange for pointing us in the right direction."

The girl smiled smugly, her eyes lingering on Bai Ye, darting about animatedly, but she refused to speak.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Bai Ye glanced at Fang Yuxin and, seeing she had no intention of speaking, said, "If you really know the way, please tell us. We’ll compensate you for it."

The girl brightened even more at his words, about to add something when the slightly older girl beside her said, "Don’t listen to her nonsense. We meant no harm; we just saw you seemed to need help and came over to check. It’s just directions, after all, no big deal, so there’s no need for any compensation."

Her voice was very gentle and her words were eloquently spoken, and with her pretty looks and the dimples at the corners of her mouth, it was easy to take an immediate liking to her.

However, Fang Yuxin noticed that the girl’s gaze was still mostly fixed on Bai Ye, seemingly very interested in him.

She quickly glanced at Bai Ye and smiled meaningfully.

Bai Ye felt helpless. Since Fang Yuxin wouldn’t speak, he had to say, "Thanks a lot then. If possible, could you draw us a simple map of the route?"

The older girl smiled apologetically right away, saying softly, "It’s not that we don’t want to help you, but we really don’t know how to draw a map. How about this: our place is not far from here, someone there should be able to draw it. It’s almost noon, and you’ve been traveling a long way, so you must be hungry. Why not join us for lunch, rest a bit, and then continue on your journey?"
