Chapter 89 - 89 89 You No Longer Have That Chance
?Chapter 89: Chapter 89 You No Longer Have That Chance Chapter 89: Chapter 89 You No Longer Have That Chance Luo Ning led the two men out of the cave to look for medicinal herbs.
On the way, Ji Xinghang asked, “Did you find the lair of those people? How is the director’s team?”
Luo Ning briefly recounted what she had seen to Ji Xinghang, “So, we’ll take action again tonight.”
Ji Xinghang frowned slightly, “Such a hassle.”
“Yes, be careful tonight, and if you get the chance, help take care of the others as well.” Luo Ning knew Ji Xinghang was skilled and capable of protecting himself.
Ji Xinghang relaxed his frown and nodded with a smile, “I’ll listen to you.”
Luo Ning: “…”
She was not used to the especially obedient Ji Xinghang after coming to the deserted island.
Lu Xun glanced at Ji Xinghang, finding this top star increasingly shameless.
He asked Ji Xinghang, “Bo Xiangxiang fell from the tree, that was your doing, right?”
Hearing this, Ji Xinghang disliked Lu Xun even more; he was actually waiting for Luo Ning to praise him when that guy interrupted.
Seeing Luo Ning looking over with the same questioning gaze, he sulkily said, “She insisted on climbing the tree, so I took the chance to hit her hand with a small stone when no one was paying attention, and she fell.”
“I didn’t expect her to throw herself toward Teacher Tong, causing Teacher Tong to slip and roll down the hill.”
Luo Ning thought to herself the heroine is truly the heroine, with disasters always being blocked by others; Tong Jia had an unlucky fall today.
However, after such an incident, Bo Xiangxiang’s luck would definitely be affected.
“Tonight we need to protect Teacher Tong a bit more; we can’t let him get injured again.” Luo Ning could tell Ji Xinghang felt somewhat remorseful towards Tong Jia.
Although he was arrogant and sometimes venomous with his words, his principles were still correct.
Ji Xinghang nodded, “I was thinking the same.”
Soon, Luo Ning found the medicinal herbs she needed.
While she was picking the herbs, her sharp senses detected wild chickens not far away, so she asked the two men to catch them.
Neither of them objected, and they went together.
Stepping out of Luo Ning’s sight, Ji Xinghang said quietly to Lu Xun beside him, “Please stay away from Ningning.”
Lu Xun raised his eyebrow, “And on what grounds are you asking me to stay away from her?”
“As the boyfriend,” Ji Xinghang huffed.
Lu Xun turned his head, his look amused and corrective, “You mean ex-boyfriend, right?”
“…” Ji Xinghang was momentarily speechless, “How did you know?”
With Luo Ning’s character, she wouldn’t have initiated the conversation with Lu Xun about their past relationship and subsequent breakup.
Lu Xun replied indifferently, “That’s none of your concern.”
Earlier, when Luo Ning had saved him, his assistant had already dug up information about her, including that she had been childhood sweethearts with Ji Xinghang, dated for a year, and then broken up.
Ji Xinghang always felt that Lu Xun gave him a sense of danger. “What are your true intentions for getting close to Ningning?”
Lu Xun asked with amusement, “What’s it to you?”
Ji Xinghang looked at Lu Xun and said, “I will win Ningning back.”
But Lu Xun didn’t take Ji Xinghang’s words as a threat, “You won’t get that chance.”
Ji Xinghang choked again and was about to retort with sarcasm when he saw Lu Xun ignoring him and moving forward.
He: “…” This man was becoming more and more annoying.
Lu Xun’s combat power was not low, and his stone-throwing strength and accuracy were even better than Ji Xinghang’s, quickly knocking out a wild chicken and carrying it away.
A step behind, Ji Xinghang saw the wild chicken already in Lu Xun’s hands, and thinking about how this guy would certainly gain Ningning’s favorable impression again, he felt really depressed.
The two men returned with the wild chicken, and Luo Ning had also finished picking the herbs, “Let’s head back.”
“Was the pheasant caught by Mr. Lu?” Luo Ning asked in a questioning tone, but she sounded certain.
Because based on Ji Xinghang’s current temperament, if he had caught it, he would have definitely come over seeking praise by now.
Lu Xun smiled slightly, “Yes, you’re really clever.”
Ji Xinghang explained, “He was one step faster than me.”
Otherwise, he could have caught one, too.
Luo Ning chuckled: “That’s because you’re slow; it just shows Mr. Lu is more capable.”
Ji Xinghang felt even more annoyed; Ningning was actually protecting that irritating actor, “Yes, yes, he’s the most capable, alright?”
Then he moved forward hastily and in a huff.
Watching Ji Xinghang’s petulant and childish behavior, Luo Ning knew this was indeed the right way to handle him.
After walking a short distance, Ji Xinghang quickly regretted it.
In the past, he definitely would’ve been too proud to wait for Luo Ning and the others.
But now, he stopped his steps, turned his head with an expression akin to an abandoned stray dog, and looked pitifully toward Luo Ning, “Hurry up, will you?”
Luo Ning really didn’t know what to say, “We’re coming.”
Back at the cave, Luo Ning had Ji Xinghang and Lu Xun each lead two students, and they started two fires.
One was for boiling medicine, the other for making chicken soup.
After a while, the others also returned.
Everyone then saw Tong Jia leaning against the cave wall, his complexion pale, obviously enduring immense pain, and they all felt sympathy for him; he was really unlucky.
The live audience saw it too, and Tong Jia’s fans were shouting out of heartache, cursing Bo Xiangxiang over and over again.
“Tong Jia, are you feeling any better?” Wei Yao walked in and asked.
Tong Jia weakly said, “It hurts a lot. I’m waiting for Little Ningning to make me some pain-relief and anti-inflammatory medicine.”
Wei Yao looked at Luo Ning and asked, “Little Ningning is impressive. Do you need help?”
Luo Ning shook her head, “No need, it’ll be ready soon.”
Su Qinglan comforted Tong Jia, “Teacher Tong, Ningning’s medicinal concoctions are particularly effective. My stomach stopped hurting shortly after drinking it before. I’m sure you’ll feel much better after having the medicine.”
Tong Jia nodded, “That’s what I think too.”
Upon hearing that Luo Ning, while searching for herbs, had also had Lu, the celebrated actor, catch pheasants to make Tong Jia some nourishing chicken soup, everyone thought she was very considerate and warm-hearted.
Given prior proof, no one doubted Luo Ning’s medicines anymore, and they all started to praise her.
Bo Xiangxiang, standing at the mouth of the cave, had a look of utmost ugliness on her face, wishing she could just overturn the medicine.
She clearly hadn’t meant it, yet these people not only blamed her, along the way, they also ignored her or glared at her, and even the students deliberately kept their distance.
But all it took was for Luo Ning to casually pick some herbs and boil them, and these people couldn’t wait to shower her with flattery. It was so unfair.
Especially because, why should Luo Ning get to direct the godly Lu to do things?
The thing that infuriated and envious her the most was that God Lu actually listened to Luo Ning’s commands, and Ji Xinghang was always hovering around Luo Ning.
Luo Ning naturally felt the hostility coming from Bo Xiangxiang. She lifted her head to avoid the live broadcast’s angle, hooked her lips at Bo Xiangxiang with a somewhat provocative intent.
Seeing this, Bo Xiangxiang especially wanted to scratch up Luo Ning’s pretty face, seething with her chest rising and falling in anger.
She turned and ran out, unable to stand the sight any longer and feeling increasingly upset.
After going outside, thinking of the people on the island, a fierce look flashed in Bo Xiangxiang’s eyes, “Luo Ning, you’re forcing my hand.”
Then, seeing that the others were still in the cave, she quickly ran towards a specific place.
After some distance, she took out a wooden whistle from her pocket and blew it.
She didn’t even notice Han Chi following her, hiding in the bushes not far away.
