If it were not for the sake of extending her own life value so that she would not die for no rhyme or reason in some random place, Yu Xi would not have even bothered herself to approach a man like Xu Ze.
Meanwhile, while both Yu Xi and Xu Ze were conversing in the back of the van, the other six members of Wild Card felt a little confused when they saw the two looking to have such a close relationship when they had only recently met one another.
This was especially true for Wen Han, who was Yu Xi’s childhood sweetheart.
He did not understand.
Just when did Yu Xi get so close to Xu Ze?
They have only met and known each other today in the trainee assessment test, right?
So how come they are so close now?
Yu Xi looked away before now joining the group conversation since she was thrust out into the spotlight and was no longer able to hide from the others.
If no one had mentioned her, Yu Xi herself would not have joined the conversation occurring between the seven members of Wild Card.
Besides, with her mental age that does not fit her current physical body, Yu Xi was really and genuinely was not interested in the topics the boys were talking about.
However, Yu Xi, who was a conscientious and diligent person, still exchanged contact information with the seven in the idol van.
With that, she gained seven friends on her social media account on Chat Me, and their phone numbers on her list of contacts.
Within a quarter of an hour, the idol van finally arrived at their designated hotel.
As an assistant, even if the position was just a temporary one with an expiry date of one day, which was tomorrow, Yu Xi should go up and volunteer to help her senior brothers carry their luggage because that was part of her job.
And she did just that.
But now, it seems… it seems like she was not needed at all?
After the members of the Wild Card got off the idol van one by one, all seven quickly took their own luggage and were already walking to the hotel entrance.
They were all very kind and gentlemanly.
That is obvious enough.
But then, she was suddenly stopped by a certain someone halfway through the road.
“Hey, take these,” the certain someone said.
Yu Xi stopped mid-walk and looked at the young man standing beside her.
Naturally, this certain someone is a young man named Xu Ze, also someone who takes joy in annoying and disturbing her life because she had taken his first kiss (to save her own life and have a chance at survival).
Xu Ze had brought out a hand to Yu Xi with his packages dangling at his fingers, gesturing for the young woman to carry them with a brow arched upwards and his chin slightly lifted up in an arrogant manner.
…Well, she took back her previous sentence.
Not all of them were kind and gentlemanly.
That is obvious enough.
For some reason, in the Star Maker System’s eyes, this young man named Xu Ze only looks like a needy, arrogant dog that wants to gain the attention of its master but has pride too high to ask its master nicely, and thus it can only bark out loud in command to get its master to focus on it.
Wen Han, who stood behind the two of them, frowned and asked, “Xu Ze, why do you even ask Yu Xi to carry such a small amount of things when you can carry them yourself just fine?”
“Is there a problem with me asking her to carry them for me?” Xu Ze asked a little aggressively.
“Is this not what assistants should have done in the first place?
Then what is wrong with me asking her to do it for me?”
If it were the usual times, of course, Xu Ze would carry all these little things by himself.
And if the group’s assistant was a girl, he would also take care of her for a little bit to make things a little easier for her.
But now, the problem is that their current assistant is a young woman named Yu Xi, a cunning woman who knows no bounds of morality.
This scheming woman must have no good intentions in her.
The color of her heart must be black, as dark and soulless as ink.
Xu Ze simply wanted to let the young woman know that being their temporary assistant, even just for a day, was not an easy task to do.
So, how could he not treat Yu Xi “kindly” for the position that she had worked so hard to get?
Yu Xi sighed secretly in her heart.
This young man’s childish tempers are really difficult to reign in.
So troublesome and annoying.
Forget it, she has a lot of patience and there was currently not much that she could do if she wanted to stay alive, so she could just bear with him this one time.
Yu Xi: I am so kind.
Yu Xi had just wanted to raise her hand to carry those packages out of Xu Ze’s hold, but another hand had suddenly cut across her own to snatch them from Xu Ze’s grip.
“Xu Ze, you are really lazy.
It was just these small, little things, but you have the nerve to ask the assistant sister to take it for you?
How lazy can you get?” Lu Bai said as he carelessly threw those little packages back to Xu Ze.
“Take them yourself and stop lazing around.”
Yu Xi looked at Lu Bai’s actions without so much as a blink and raised her eyebrows with an unknown emotion in her eyes.
Lu Bai… this person is quite interesting.
If she was not wrong, he must be the youngest member of Wild Card, right?
[That is right, Host!]
Yu Xi casually ignored the Star Maker System’s words in her head as her own thoughts flowed through her mind.
By the way, this young man also seems to be one of her designated targets, right?
[That is right again, Host!]
And again, the Star Maker System’s words were promptly ignored.
Soon, the Seven Princes of Spectra and their party checked in at the front desk of the hotel and were then divided into their assigned rooms.
The Seven Princes of Spectra has booked two double rooms and one triple room, while all the staff stay in extra rooms.
Yu Xi was lucky enough to get a single room of her own.
After everything was taken care of, Yu Xi checked into her comfortable single room.
It was nice to get a room of her own to allow for more privacy for herself.
When she had gotten inside her room, Yu Xi did not look around and promptly threw everything—her own things—down before laying down to rest.
She was lying alone on the bed while staring at the ceiling of the hotel room.
Although she had only been in this world for a few hours, she felt like centuries had passed.
Time has passed really slowly from the moment she had arrived in this world.
Was this why people said that familiarity makes time pass faster, and exposing oneself to as much new experience as possible would make time go slower?
Well, that seems to be the case right now.
These few hours spent here were more tiring than the time she spent filming mystery and suspense film dramas in her past life.
[Host, I want to remind you that your current life value is only enough to last you for one hour.]
The Star Maker System’s voice suddenly sounded in Yu Xi’s head, and she felt like sighing.
As much as she wanted to ignore the system and not listen to his voice, she had to force herself to if she did not want to die.
She had to put in effort—albeit reluctantly—to live on and to spend longer days in this world.
Yu Xi: [I know, I have my own way of dealing with this.]
Yu Xi lay on the bed, flipped over, and picked up the mobile phone placed on the table to her right.
She scrolled through the list of contacts, swiped her finger upwards to scroll down, and her eyes soon rested on the two words on her phone screen: Lu Bai.
Lu Bai…
Yu Xi hooked her lips and smiled charmingly.
A flicker of an unknown meaning flashed in her eyes, and then she tapped the green button to call upon Lu Bai with her index finger without any hesitation.
The problem with the lack of life energy naturally needs to be fixed with a kiss from one of the designated targets right?
Then Lu Bai was just the right one for this task.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
It was just a short wait.
