Chapter 848: Chapter 564 I Only Like You (Second Update)

"Mm." After another indifferent nod, just when Mu Lin thought that was all the reaction she’d get, Jing Chen suddenly continued, "Grandpa Xue is right, you should get married. If you keep delaying, I reckon no one will want you."

Mu Lin’s lips curled; she felt like her grandpa was taking some kind of perverse pleasure in the situation, with a bit of a snarky mouth to boot; but, she liked it.

In the Xue Family, given Jing Chen’s understanding of the guy before him, probably the only person who could trick him into coming back was old Mr. Xue. Ordinary people just didn’t have that kind of slyness.

"Schadenfreude." Xue Rui gave Jing Chen a big eye roll.

Outsiders always felt that Jing Chen and Xue Rui were arch-enemies, as if the Jing and Xue families were in some sort of opposition. In reality, that wasn’t the case.

It’s just that neither he nor Xue Rui, the Jing family or the Xue family, could be bothered to explain to outsiders.

In fact, Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Xue were old comrades, and the relationship between the two was rock solid.

"Alright, I won’t stay here to be irritated by you. I’ll continue my morning exercise." Then he nodded to Mu Lin once more, "Goodbye sister-in-law." After saying that, he carried on running forward, muttering under his breath, "Oh dear... overslept... wait, wait, wait."

Watching Xue Rui’s retreating figure from the corner of her eye, Mu Lin’s lips bore a slight curve, "He’s quite interesting." However, Xue Jianbing gave off a more straightforward and genuine vibe, while Xue Rui, Mu Lin found it hard to describe.

This was the impression Mu Lin had just formed.

The hand on her waist suddenly tightened, and Mu Lin instinctively raised her own hands, only to meet a pair of eyes... well, eyes that clearly didn’t hide their jealousy, "Wife, do you think he’s very nice?"

Lifting the corners of her mouth, the smile in Mu Lin’s eyes was helpless, "I never said that." When had she ever said such a thing?

"But the wife just said he was interesting," pouted Grandpa Jing.

"It does feel interesting," she mused as he seemed like someone completely opposite to her grandpa.

"Wife, don’t be fooled by that kid’s facade, when he gets scheming, he’s ruthless." In front of him, he’s like this, but at other times, to be honest, his indifference was no match for his coldness; a typical case of two-faced, deceiving countless people.

"I do get that feeling," agreed Mu Lin with a nod.

"Does the wife like such characters?" Grandpa Jing started brooding jealously.

Sometimes, girls indeed prefer "sunnier" looking men, thinking that they’re more interesting to be around; his own character, indeed, was a bit dull.

Hearing his discontented tone, Mu Lin looked at him, her hands cradling his handsome face, "I only like you."

Grandpa Jing was immediately gratified, the smile on his lips filled with satisfaction; after stealing a quick kiss from Mu Lin’s lips, he wrapped his arm around his wife’s waist and held her hand, continuing their walk.

At that moment, Grandpa Jing, in Mu Lin’s eyes, seemed adorably tsundere.

...

Meanwhile.

The morning after they’d passed the first challenge, as the sunlight twinkled and the sea turned blue, everyone woke up swaying.

Opening their eyes, they found... all of them were sleeping on the water.

Or more precisely, their sleeping bags were floating on the sea, drifting along.

What’s going on here?

One person woke up another, and in an instant, they all came to their senses, scrambling out of their sleeping bags to rush ashore.

They had clearly been sleeping on shore yesterday evening, so how had they ended up on the water by the morning?

"Comrades, how was your sleep?" Standing not far away on dry land, where the sea water hadn’t yet reached, Ying Sun’s men were watching their commotion, all with nearly identical expressions on their faces, all except Black Shark.

The group exchanged looks, saying nothing.

"We’re really sorry." Then, the carefree voice of Wu Ya once again sounded in everyone’s ears, "It seems like we forgot to tell you last night that this place floods with the tide when the sun rises to this position, gradually submerging the place where you were sleeping... and well, you’ve probably already seen the results." So there was no need for further explanation.

Seeing is believing, after all.

They seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the misfortune and excitement, pausing slightly as if a thought suddenly occurred to them.

"Oh right, I almost forgot; there’s one more thing, in order to avoid the tents getting soaked by the sea, we packed them up early in the morning. But seeing how exhausted you all were, sleeping so soundly, we couldn’t bear to wake you." So kind of them, right?
