The Jealous Snake

"You'd better say coal, not Lunmei."

"What's the difference?"

Kevin didn't recognize the two homophones.

"Should we go back?" Sakura suggested.

"Big sister, does that mean the tent was carried for nothing?" Ling asked the burning question.

"That makes sense."

In order not to bring the tents up the mountain for nothing, the group decided to stay overnight before going down the mountain and set up the tents first.

Yaqing and Mobius shared a tent, which was shaped like a green Snakey. Thanks to Yaqing's training, the tent was quickly assembled. The final step was to hammer in nails to secure the tent.

"Okay, the first one!" Yaqing picked up the hammer and tapped it a few times before walking toward the next nail.

"Is it really okay to pitch the tent here? It seems a bit unsafe." Mobius pulled out the nails that Yaqing had just hammered in.

After hammering in all four nails, Yaqing wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I'm exhausted, but I finally got the tent set up! Ah?"

Yaqing looked down and saw that the nails that had been fixed in place had come loose, so she hammered them all over again.

Yaqing was smashing things in front, while Mobius was flicking them from behind.

He stopped in his tracks when he realized something was wrong.

Without realizing it, Mobius, who had his head down, fell into his arms.

"Hmm."

"Senior, please stop making things worse," Yaqing said helplessly.

"I just felt it wasn't safe to pitch the tent here."

Mobius was neither entirely justified nor entirely confident.

Yaqing has now moved to a different location, and without Mobius's "troublemaking," the tent was quickly set up.

While Yaqing was setting up the tent, Pardo, Elysia, Mobius were figuring out how to make a fire, since eating snacks alone wouldn't fill them up.

"Hey! Let's do what the ancients did and start a fire by rubbing sticks together!"

Elysia felt she had come up with a brilliant idea.

"Sister Elysia, that's a great idea!"

Pardo looked on in agreement.

Mobius scoffed at this, "Elysia, first of all, let's not even talk about whether you can actually start a fire by rubbing sticks together. It rained yesterday, and the branches are all wet. How are you going to start a fire by rubbing sticks together?"

"Oh right..." Elysia lowered her head.

"If we want it to go viral, I just thought of a way." Vill-V walked over after setting up the tent.

"What's the solution?" Elysia and Pardo both leaned closer.

"First, bring over a few rolls of paper, then find a slightly drier place, and then it's time for the coal."

"What do you want?" Mei seemed to hear someone calling her, so she came over.

"I wasn't calling you, I was talking about the one in black."

After preparing everything, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Vill-V removed the power bank meant for the phone, intertwined the blue and red wires, and used the short circuit in the battery to ignite the toilet paper roll.

"Great! It's fire!"

Upon seeing an open flame, these people become excited.

They sat around the fire.

Kalpas was grilling skewers over an open fire, constantly sprinkling his unique, secret seasoning.

The aroma is enticing.

The sun gradually set.

The moon rose.

"So boring~" Rin leaned on Sakura's shoulder.

"How about we play a game?" Elysia's eyes seemed to light up as she got up and walked to the distance from the fire, saying, "I'll close my eyes and spin around, pointing at whoever I point to. That person has to choose between truth or dare. Then the person who was pointed to will come up and spin around."

There's nothing else to do but stay here.

Except for Kalpas, who was grilling skewers, everyone else was preparing to participate in Elysia's game.

A sly smile crept across Elysia's lips. She closed her eyes and began spinning around, finally pointing at Yaqing, opening her eyes, and saying, "It's you! Yaqing."

"Hey, anyone can see you did this on purpose," Yaqing retorted.

"Oh dear, Yaqing ~"

"Okay, okay, I choose truth."

When Yaqing had chosen truth, Elysia was stunned. She had been thinking about the punishment for dare, and she really didn't know what to ask for truth.

"Eden, help me think of something~?" When in doubt, Elysia often turns to Eden.

Eden swirled the wine in his glass, the red wine sloshing slightly, his face flushed slightly. "Elysia, haven't you always been curious about what your character's identity is? Since you're being honest, why don't you just ask him directly?"

"Oh right!" Elysia realized.

"Hey, hey, hey, this involves spoilers."

Everyone's eyes turned to Yaqing with curiosity.

Yaqing thought to himself that he absolutely could not let Elysia set a precedent, otherwise anyone who went up and spun around would definitely only shake him. If everyone asked this question, then what exciting thing would there be in the Elysian Realm?

"Yaqing ~~"

"Stop, I can only reveal a little bit."

Elysia became interested.

"Elysia is a good person."

"Hello!!!"

Elysia puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Ignoring the angry Elysia, Yaqing walked up to her and started spinning around with her eyes closed.

Finally, it pointed to Elysia.

Elysia became even angrier.

Everyone was internally complaining.

You two did this on purpose, didn't you?

Elysia felt the same way.

"I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened..." Yaqing couldn't finish his sentence. Although he knew he didn't do it on purpose, it was too much of a coincidence.

"Elysia, Truth or Dare? Choose." Mobius looked at Elysia with amusement.

"Truth or Dare!"

Elysia quickly raised her little hand.

Yaqing was somewhat disappointed, but she hid it well.

"Alright, your big adventure is to sing a song for the Honkai series."

"Huh?"

When Elysia heard this, her eyes widened in shock.

"I... I can't sing."

"It's alright, there's still a long time before that movie is released. You can use this time to let Eden teach you more."

"Then why don't you just have Eden sing it?"

Everyone was a little curious: why not use the global superstar Eden, but instead only have Elysia go up and sing?

"No, only you can sing that song."

Yaqing spoke with absolute certainty.

"That song is called 'TruE'."

Chapter 243 The Jealous Snakey

Since the last mountain climbing trip, Yaqing has noticed that Mobius has become a bit strange. The 'Courtyard Devil' has not appeared for a long time, and every time they meet, he just lets out a cold snort.

Another holiday.

Kevin and Yaqing sat on the sofa, bored out of their minds.

"Your Cold War with Mobius isn't over yet?"

Kevin took a bite of the fruit.

"What war?"

Yaqing was engrossed in watching the cartoon and didn't hear what Kevin said.

"I said the Cold War," Kevin repeated.

"Oh, the Cold War, I thought it was a war..." Yaqing suddenly realized that she shouldn't say that word, so she shut her mouth.

"What better words could you possibly come up with?" Kevin stared with dead fish eyes, curiously asking, "Why did you insist on having Elysia sing? You know Mobius and Elysia don't get along, aren't you just making Mobius jealous by doing this?"

"Kevin, when did you become such a Casanova?" Yaqing said irritably.

As Yaqing had predicted, Mobius was jealous.

However, "TruE" must be sung by Elysia.

Yaqing is stubborn about the Honkai series.

"I couldn't resist transforming into a stubborn fish~"

The sudden singing startled Yaqing and Kevin.

Turning my head, I saw it was Little Knowledge.

Little Knowledge answered the phone.

"Hey? You want me to go to the company to work overtime now?!" Little Knowledge looked bewildered, then glared at Yaqing, who was enjoying herself on the sofa.

Seeing Little Knowledge return to the company, Yaqing was in a good mood. According to his plan, today should be the day to release a trailer video on the Collapse Official Website to promote and hype up the next movie.

"I'm a little hungry, what do you want to eat?" Kevin asked.

"If you made it, then I won't eat it."

"Nonsense, my cooking is actually quite good. Besides, I'm not Mei," Kevin tried to prove himself.

Before coming to Golden Courtyard, Kevin and May had rented a place outside. In order to eat healthily with May and also to avoid being poisoned, Kevin specially learned to cook for a long time.

Unfortunately, I later became a corporate slave, working too much overtime, and with Kalpas, a five-star chef, around, I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time.

Self-heating rice?

"What are you saying! Don't slander me!" Kevin said, looking indignant. "Besides, Mei also thinks my noodles are delicious."

"Instant noodles?"

Yaqing knew in her heart that Kevin's cooking was barely edible, but she still wanted to argue with him.

Let's order takeout.

"Agree."

Yaqing took out her phone and ordered takeout.

Two salted fish were sprawled on the sofa.
