Chapter 129: In Any Case, Huo Xiao Is Worth It!

Chapter 129: In Any Case, Huo Xiao Is Worth It!

Jian Li approached aggressively, and Lu Siqi didn’t even have a chance to react.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest and grimaced in pain, "Ah—"

"Who kicked me?!"

Because a rope was tied around his waist, Lu Siqi was kicked away but pulled back by the inertia.

His head hit the city wall, and he heard a buzzing in his ears. When he finally managed to look to the side, he saw Jian Li, furious, being held back by Huo Xiao.

It looked like if no one was holding him back, he would have come over to finish me off.

Lu Siqi had never seen Jian Li like this before and was momentarily shocked. "You actually hit me for him?!"

"Hah, hit you? Haven't I done it before? If you're still not used to it, what's wrong with your head?!"

"Cheating, confirmed! Lu Siqi was kicked so much but didn’t even fall, and he’s still hanging in mid-air! Is this kind of competition even meaningful?!"

"He was trying to ambush Brother Xiao just now, right? But ended up getting beaten himself?! How does he have the nerve to question others?!"

"Aaahh— Was I the only one who heard this clearly?! Brother Li said Brother Xiao is his man!"

"What kind of person? Of course, it’s someone with a special relationship! That relationship is... boyfriend!"

Protecting him so fiercely, it’s so loving! So sweet to watch!

Thank you, Lu, for your assist. Without you, Brother Xiao and Brother Li might not have broken down that barrier!

With a cold and stern expression, Jian Li glared at Lu Siqi, his voice dropping a notch. "I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on Huo Xiao again, I won't hesitate to make you leave the game prematurely!"

"Are you threatening me?"

Lu Siqi's face had already turned dark, and the intense pain in his chest reminded him that Jian Li wasn’t just talking.

He would even risk his life for Huo Xiao!

What was once my exclusive love has now been lost due to Lu Yuanhang's mischief.

"I don’t make threats," Jian Li smirked, "If you don’t believe me, feel free to test me!"

He turned to Huo Xiao and said, "Let’s head up first."

"Okay."

Huo Xiao responded, his lips still curled, as he held Jian Li's waist and lifted him up, giving Lu Siqi a challenging look.

Lu Siqi ground his teeth, clenched his fists, and in the next moment, punched the ancient city wall.

Once the entire Vendetta Squad arrived at the city wall, the safety locks were finally released.

Luo Wudi and the other team members approached.

"Huo Xiao, in this show, you’ll be deliberately targeted, so you need to be extra cautious. We’ll protect you."

As she spoke, she gave Lu Siqi a scrutinizing look.

The other team members nodded in agreement.

"We must stick together and maintain 24-hour surveillance," Zhou Nan said seriously, "How many days is this variety show being filmed?"

"Two days," Shi Huayi interjected, glancing at his wristwatch, "We have exactly 47 hours and 40 minutes left."

Yuan Feng stroked his chin, "There are likely ten more tasks. As long as we complete them safely, we should be fine."

He then thought of something and asked Jian Li, "Brother Li, are we aiming for the championship this time?"

"Not this time," Jian Li squinted his eyes, "This time, we have only one goal."

"Pummel Lu Siqi!"

"What?! The only reason we’re participating in this show is to beat up that guy?!"

"Hahahaha, damn! Brother Li, I really love your style!"

"It looks like Brother Li Xiao is really angry; I've never seen him lose control like this before!"

"Who would believe that Li Xiao and his partner are fake?"

As they descended from the city wall, Huo Xiao took Jian Li's hand and suddenly asked, "What am I to you?"

"Ah?" Jian Li was surprised, and then he felt the distinct knuckles slid through his fingers, gradually locking together.

His cheeks instantly turned red, and his tone became nervous, "I just said that..."

"In the heat of the moment, I didn't think it through."

"Are you sure it was just that simple?"

Huo Xiao drew back a finger and gently hooked Jian Li's palm, sending a tingling sensation through him.

His face turned even redder. "I... I don't know. Let me properly sort it out when I have time."

Even if Huo Xiao didn't press him, Jian Li could sense that something was off.

Does a best friend act like this?

His physical reactions were unusually intense!

Especially when he saw Lu Siqi about to make a ruthless move,

He felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed,

Wishing he could crush anyone who threatened Huo Xiao...

Jian Li had never been like this before; continuing to deceive himself would be going too far.

"When will you figure it out?" Huo Xiao asked in a low, hoarse voice.

"Very soon," Jian Li suddenly beamed, "Once I figure it out, I'll let you know."

As soon as he was sure of his true feelings,

What if she pursues him? So what if she pursues him? Huo Xiao is worthy!

"Alright," Huo Xiao's eyes curved into a smile, "I'll wait for you."

......

When Lu Siqi was pulled to the city wall, the revenge team had already left.

He walked a few steps forward and saw the two people whispering at the bottom of the stairs.

They were in an intimate pose, and just seeing them ignited his jealousy.

Thinking of how the beautiful and excellent Jian Li, once his, was now taken by the despicable Huo Xiao,

filled Lu Siqi with an overwhelming urge to destroy everything,

his rationality was gradually squeezed out until nothing remained.

Just then, a staff member was helping him undo his safety harness,

and as soon as the safety lock was released, Lu Siqi shoved the staff member away, pulled out his phone, and walked to a secluded area to make a call,

"The plan is moving up, I can't wait anymore!"

"The trainees aren't willing? So what? Their contracts are in my hands,"

"If they don't comply, I'll burden them with massive debts!"

"This time, I’ll bring down Huo Xiao at all costs!"

————

Just after noon, Jian Yue was blocked on his way out of class.

As he looked up, he saw a face that begged for a beating, so he said coldly, "A good dog doesn’t stand in the way!"

"Woof! Woof!" Huo Chuan barked twice, "You think I'm a bad guy,"

"Well, the bad guy’s hungry, so you need to treat me."

Jian Yue snorted through his nose, "Can you show some decency?"

"Of course, I care about appearances," Huo Chuan laughed carefree, "You see, I didn't look for anyone else."

"As the saying goes, every grudge has its source, and every debt has its payer. If you hit me, you should take responsibility, right?!"

This same routine happened three times a day.

He was tired of hearing about 'taking responsibility'; it was driving him crazy. He laughed bitterly, "What? Do you plan to shake me down for the rest of my life?!"

"Not really," Huo Chuan leaned casually against the table, "Once my allowance is back, I'll be gone."

"Fine," Jian Yue nodded and stood up from the chair, "It's just a meal, isn't it? Sure, no problem. Later, I'll treat you to some luosifen at the cafeteria."

Huo Chuan was taken aback, "What? What kind of noodle dish?"

"Are they going to be those stinky noodles again?"

"Jian Yue, are you messing with me?!"

He took out his phone, "Hold on,"

"I'm calling your brother right now to complain about you!"
