Chapter 87 - 87 87 Could This Be a Jinx
?Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Could This Be a Jinx? Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Could This Be a Jinx? Luo Ning later discovered that Shi Ji actually attended the same school as her.
Because she helped him, they even became friends; accurately speaking, Shi Ji became her follower.
At that time, Ji Xinghang had just been acknowledged by the Ji Family, she went to learn Taekwondo and Sanda, and Shi Ji followed her to learn as well.
What impressed her most was that Shi Ji, even if he fell and turned his limbs blue, never cried out in pain; he just gritted his teeth and persisted.
A year later, Shi Ji’s skills had greatly improved.
Then, because Ji Xinghang skipped grades and went directly to college, Shi Ji suddenly lost contact after that.
She heard from people at the same school that not long after she went to college, Shi Ji dropped out and disappeared.
When she saw Shi Ji again, he had already become a successful young businessman who had returned from overseas and had started a publicly listed company.
After meeting, Shi Ji took the initiative to contact her, even pursuing her further, which worsened her relationship with Ji Xinghang.
To avoid suspicion, she refused his invitation to dine, and she rarely answered his calls or responded to his messages.
After all, although she and Ji Xinghang had conflicts, they were still a couple; she wouldn’t intimately interact with a man who pursued her or give him any opportunities.
Shi Ji had also changed a lot; he was no longer the stubborn and frail youth he once was.
Not long after, she jumped off a building and didn’t know what happened to him afterward.
Therefore, she was shocked to suddenly see that Shi Ji was one of the leaders of the International Black Alliance.
She couldn’t help but connect that to the impressive male lead behind Xiangxiang from the International Black Alliance, which if not surprising, was likely Shi Ji.
In the book, it was written that Xiangxiang once went to the underground parking lot and accidentally saved an injured man, Shi Ji, who then was deeply attracted to her and fell in love with her.
After disappearing for a while, Shi Ji reappeared and did many things for Xiangxiang.
Thus, what happened between these two people afterward was also unknown to Luo Ning.
Shi Ji, Shi Ji; Luo Ning linked the two names together, and the timing of Shi Ji’s successful return matched the timing of Shi Ji’s disappearance and return in the book.
However, Luo Ning didn’t understand why Shi Ji would pursue her, and the book didn’t mention this at all, meaning Xiangxiang didn’t know about it.
The reason she was sure it wasn’t Xiangxiang who made Shi Ji pursue her was also that the book was written from Xiangxiang’s perspective.
That is to say, everything described in the book was from Xiangxiang’s point of view.
After Luo Ning returned, she noticed one issue; once the book became its own world, the characters and plotlines would automatically fill in.
All the characters were vivid and real, no longer existing just as flat characters; some occurrences could not be exactly as written in the book.
Just like in the book, from Xiangxiang’s perspective, she was a very special and important existence to Ji Xinghang, surpassing Luo Ning in his heart.
In Xiangxiang’s heart, she was Ji Xinghang’s “white moonlight.”
Luo Ning found this particularly nauseating when she read the book, but after coming back, she realized it wasn’t the case, thus questioning some of the things written in the book.
More mysteries also needed to be uncovered, like that of Shi Ji.
The three returned to the cave, and since the others hadn’t come back yet, they didn’t go looking for anyone but rested in the cave, considering they had a tough battle to fight at night.
On the other hand, three team leaders took Ji Xinghang and others to find food.
One of the leaders scouted ahead and then reported that there were plenty of wild fruits not far away, so he took everyone there.
Xiangxiang, to show off in a live broadcast, volunteered that their team would go pick, and the leader agreed.
The others followed another leader nearby to pick non-poisonous mushrooms.
After arriving, Tong Jia realized that the wild fruits grew on a small hillside. He remembered Luo Ning had previously warned him not to go to places with slopes, or else he would encounter a bloody disaster.
“Shall we go mushroom picking instead? I don’t really want to linger near the slope.” He then suggested to Bo Xiangxiang.
But Bo Xiangxiang said, “The mushrooms have been picked, Teacher Tong, let’s climb the tree to pick wild fruits—maybe we can even find some bird eggs.”
Luo Ning had found bird eggs yesterday and this morning as well; her luck had always been particularly good, she must have stumbled upon them too.
Tong Jia looked up at the towering trees and shook his head, “We can’t possibly climb this tree, shall we find another place to pick fruits? Didn’t the leader say there were more ahead?”
He just wanted to leave this place quickly.
Bo Xiangxiang chuckled softly, patting herself, “Don’t worry, Teacher Tong, I can climb trees. I’ll go.”
She knew that in such wilderness survival shows, guests couldn’t appear too delicate.
Although climbing trees seemed a bit rough, it was easy to make the audience like her, as it showed she was a girl who could endure hardships.
Perhaps it could even make Tong Jia appreciate her consideration, and the audience might think so too.
Tong Jia: “…” How annoying Bo Xiangxiang was, with the trees being so high, how could she climb them? It would be trouble if she fell.
So he tried to persuade her for a while, but Bo Xiangxiang wouldn’t listen.
She thought herself very understanding and told Tong Jia to wait below while she started climbing.
Ji Xinghang, seeing this, picked up a very small stone when no one was paying attention.
As if he was about to fall accidentally, he pushed the cameraman lightly, and the camera flickered.
Then he flicked the little stone towards Bo Xiangxiang, hitting her on the back of her hand.
The cameraman steadied himself at this moment and refocused the camera on the big tree.
Suddenly, Bo Xiangxiang screamed and fell from the tree, instinctively lunging towards Tong Jia.
Standing under the tree, Tong Jia’s eyes narrowed, and without time to dodge, he was struck squarely, forced to catch Bo Xiangxiang and place her on the ground.
He, however, due to the inertia, stepped back; the ground still hadn’t dried completely after yesterday’s heavy rain, and he slipped.
Then he rolled down the slope, also letting out a scream.
The others immediately ran down to check on him.
“Ouch, my hand feels like it’s broken.” Tong Jia’s left hand not only couldn’t be lifted, but also couldn’t move.
The accompanying doctor hurried to check and then sighed in relief, “It’s not broken, it’s dislocated.”
“Bear with it a bit; I’ll help you reset it.” Then he felt Tong Jia’s arm, twisted it hard, and put it back in place.
“Ah, it hurts!” Tong Jia couldn’t help crying out in pain, his forehead drenched in sweat.
“It’s back in place now, but you’ll need to use a splint for a while.” The doctor finished speaking and took a splint and bandage from the first aid box to secure Tong Jia’s arm.
Tong Jia tried to stand but felt excruciating pain in his right foot, “My foot is also injured.”
The doctor squatted down to check and saw his leg was swelling up, “You twisted your foot when you fell, let me spray some medicine on it.”
He immediately took out a spray and doused his foot with it.
Seeing Tong Jia in this state, Wei Yao recalled Luo Ning’s earlier words.
He looked at Tong Jia and sighed, “Luo Ning had already told you not to go near the slope, but you ended up following in my old footsteps.”
Then he discreetly glanced at Bo Xiangxiang, who had run down and was standing beside them—could she be the jinx? Every time something bad happened, she was involved.
