Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2990 I Want to Fight Someone Who Has a Partner

When Xiaobai said this, she seemed to look at him with disdain.

Xiao Zhi had only made a guess at first.

However, seeing Xiaobai's reaction, he became even more uncertain.

He even began to wonder if he was overthinking things.

He couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to Zhou Si and Shi Yang beside him, "So, am I really overthinking things?"

Zhou Si nodded, his expression calm yet knowing, as if he had already anticipated Xiao Zhi's doubts.

He retorted confidently, "Otherwise what? Haven't we shared a bottle of water before?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback by the question.

He felt... that wasn't quite right to say it that way.

After all, the circumstances are different.

However, when he looked up at Zhou Si, Shi Yang, and even Xiao Bai who had just expressed his disdain, he was surprised.

He found that they all looked very confident, as if his doubts were completely unfounded.

Xiao Zhi ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

After all, everyone's attitude was so consistent that he couldn't possibly have any more doubts.

Soon, the group got back to work, searching for plant samples.

Midway through the journey, they ran out of water and began to feel thirsty.

Charlene pointed ahead and suggested, "There's a spring over there. I remember we used to drink that a lot when we were kids. I'll go get some."

Give me the bottle.

Shi Ye stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Your hands aren't in good condition, I can carry the bottle."

Charlene did not object.

After all, she only has one hand, so she really can't carry too many water bottles.

The two walked side by side toward the spring not far away.

After they walked away, Zhou Si and his group stopped as well.

They prepared to categorize the items they had just found.

The four of them squatted on the ground, picking and choosing, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes categorizing and putting the items away.

Meanwhile, Charlene and Shino arrived at the spring.

Clear mountain spring water cascades down from a great height, forming a landscape resembling a small waterfall.

The sound of flowing water is especially pleasant in the tranquil mountain forest.

Charlene stood aside, watching Shi Ye squatting by the clear water, intently filling a bottle with water, as if he were having a lot of fun.

She suddenly felt an urge to experience that cool sensation for herself.

So she bent down, stretched out her fingers and gently ran them across the water's surface, feeling the subtle sensation of the water flowing through her fingers.

Just as she was getting into the fun, she accidentally used too much force.

The splashing water landed squarely on Shi Ye's face, wetting the stray strands of hair on his forehead.

Water droplets slid down his handsome nose, leaving several crystal-clear droplets on his face.

Shi Ye raised his head, staring at Xia Lin with a half-smile, his eyes showing a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

Charlene quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

However, Shino did not let her off easily.

He leaned closer, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Whoever caused the trouble is responsible for cleaning it up."

Charlene couldn't help but laugh again.

She nodded gently, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll clean it up for you right away."

As she spoke, she looked down and took out a clean handkerchief from her bag.

She leaned closer to him again and gently and carefully wiped him clean.

The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

Moreover, their gazes involuntarily met, as if invisible threads were binding them together.

The air around us was filled with a sweet scent, almost like pink bubbles.

After a while, Charlene said, "Okay, it's just that your hair is a little wet."

She took the opportunity to fiddle with the ends of his hair a couple of times, and said with a smile, "Your hair has grown long."

Previously, Shi Ye always had a very stylish buzz cut and a cool guy image.

I don't know if it's because I've been too busy lately, but I haven't had time to get my hair cut, and now I have bangs.

But this hairstyle doesn't affect his good looks at all.

Only her temperament is a little different now.

He used to have a cool and aloof handsomeness, but now he has a softer look. He's still just as handsome and good-looking.

Shi Ye nodded, "Yes, I left it there on purpose. I'll work on it when I have time later."

As for now…

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of people not far away.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly moved closer and stole a kiss on Xia Lin's lips.

Charlene was stunned, and her face instantly turned red.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, though she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

She was trying to adjust to the sudden kiss.

Just then, a series of ear-piercing crackling sounds suddenly came from not far away.

Xiao Zhi was holding a glass jar and several specimens, which fell to the ground and shattered instantly.

Upon hearing the sound, the group turned to look, only to see Xiao Zhi standing there, stunned.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Xiao Bai was surprised and asked.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi really wanted to use his free hands to strangle him.

He suppressed his impulsive emotions, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are those two already together?"

Xiao Bai feigned surprise, asking with a blank expression, "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and almost roared in response, "What kind of kind-hearted people in a secret crush relationship would wipe each other's faces so intimately, and even kiss?!"

His voice was filled with anger and helplessness, as if he had been fooled for a long time.

"Pfft..."

Marcy, standing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhou Si's lips curled up slightly.

Xiao Bai, however, remained solemn. He patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother, you've finally seen through the truth. That's really something!"

Xiao Zhi was furious.

So, from the beginning, these people had been deliberately fooling him and watching him make a fool of himself.

Especially Xiaobai, who clearly knew the truth all along, but pretended to know nothing.

Even now, he still wears that earnest expression.

Terrible!

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of frustration he couldn't vent.

Sometimes, he really wanted to fight these people who already had partners.

They're always together, all lovey-dovey, constantly bullying single people!

That's absolutely unsportsmanlike!

Just as he was internally ranting, Shino and Xia Lin returned.

As the two approached, Shi Ye asked with concern, "What happened just now? I think I heard something break."

Charlene also cast a questioning look at her.

Xiao Zhi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, staring at the two of them and asking directly: "When exactly did you two get together?"

When Ah Si called me before, asking me to come and help out, didn't we say that we hadn't confessed our feelings yet?

How come you two were kissing in the blink of an eye?

The more he talked, the more outrageous it seemed.

This pace of progress is really unfair to single people!
