Chapter 167: Chapter 162: Why Do People Always Think They Are Smart?

"Are you asking... who I am?"

Clements remained expressionless, however, he also felt puzzled by Xiao Yi’s question.

"I am Clements," he replied. "Besides that, I could not possibly be anyone else, Xiao Yi. Why would you ask me such a question?"

...

Faced with Clements’ question, Xiao Yi remained silent for a moment.

Xiao Yi himself did not know why such a thought had suddenly occurred to him; he just suddenly felt... that the Clements before him seemed unfamiliar, somewhat different from the Clements he had previously encountered.

Previously, although the Clements Xiao Yi knew was always expressionless, he was still a person with emotions.

However, the Clements before Xiao Yi’s eyes now seemed to have nothing, merely an expressionless puppet.

Xiao Yi did not understand what exactly was happening; it was merely a feeling, just an intuition.

But intuition alone was not enough evidence.

Therefore, after some thought, Xiao Yi could only respond:

"...No, it’s nothing. I just had a strange dream, which has left my mind a bit muddled."

"I see," said Clements. "Then you should go rest. I’ll handle things here."

Clements looked again at the group and said, "It’s really not a big deal. If everyone agrees not to wander off, just rest well in the hotel tonight."

Clements had spoken very politely, and indeed it was not a big deal. However, the hat man still wore an unyielding expression and said:

"...Look, what we do is none of your business. I was really looking forward to camping, and now we can only camp here! Get it?"

Seeing that communication with the hat man was impossible, Clements looked towards an older couple, who seemed to be the parents of the hat man.

He said to them, "Sir, and madam, I earnestly advise you not to camp outside. It’s safer to stay inside the hotel."

However, Clements’ suggestion was ignored.

The kind of parents who raised such a son and allowed him to yell at others were clearly evident.

"...Hmph," said the woman, who looked to be in her thirties or forties, decked in gold and silver. She crossed her arms, inexplicably twisted her body, rolled her eyes, and displayed a scornful expression.

She said, "My son isn’t breaking the law. He can do whatever he wants without spending your money. It’s just a bunch of kids wanting to have some fun. What can you do about it? Besides, why are you so concerned about our affairs? Do you have something unethical to do here?"

Her husband, the father of the family, remained silent, standing quietly behind.

It seemed his status in the family was not very high.

"..." And Clements could only remain silent.

"Alright, alright, it’s really nothing. We won’t camp then," said a blonde woman with a typical Caucasian appearance who walked over and said cheerily to Clements, "Now you don’t have to bother us anymore, right?"

Clements replied, "If you are agreeable, then that’s good."

The blonde woman asked again, "Then, could you tell us which places here are dangerous? It’d be good to avoid them."

Clements, devoid of expression, replied, "At night, it’s best not to go anywhere but the hotel. Stay in the hotel. The hotel itself might not be safe either, especially the basement where there’s no light. It could be dangerous. Don’t go there at all."

However, as soon as Clements finished speaking, someone voiced their displeasure.

"If you have no objections now, why don’t you hurry and take us to the hotel!" Then, the woman haughtily yelled at Clements, "The kids might want to camp, but we don’t. The hotel is much more comfortable. Hurry up and give us the room keys!"

"...I understand," Clements said, still with no expression, as he led the couple away.

The hat man left behind asked the blonde woman in annoyance,

"Why did you agree to that brute? Why should we back down?"

The blonde woman looked down her nose at the hat man and said disdainfully, "What else could we do? Keep wasting time with him? You’re really an idiot. It’s better to just agree. After all... agreeing doesn’t mean we actually have to do as he says."

Only then did the hat man realize, a lightbulb going off, "Oh! I see! You’re so smart!"

"Not just that." The blonde woman proudly said, "I also managed to pry from him that the basement was exciting. We can explore the basement later. Unlike you, that brute is nothing in my hands."

"Oh~ you’re quite the clever one~"

As they spoke, the two of them started to get affectionate, clearly a couple, and indeed very well matched.

But then, the blonde woman noticed that Xiao Yi was still standing there. She got a bit nervous but tried to keep her composure and smiled at Xiao Yi,

"You wouldn’t block us like that big guy, would you? After all, we are all young people of similar age. You should understand, right?"

"I don’t understand," Xiao Yi shook his head, "but what you want to do is none of my business."

Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered to deal with these people, letting them do whatever.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi watched them and couldn’t help but wonder, why do people always think they are so smart?

"Is that so? That’s good then." The blonde woman didn’t say much more and then gathered her companions who were still around to a cleared area to start setting up tents.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wonder, what’s the point of camping near a hotel?

Isn’t camping supposed to offer a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, purposely heading to a remote area without modern structures to seek internal peace and enjoy nature?

Yet their group could still be seen under the hotel lights.

"It seems... for these young people, camping is just because others say it’s good. They are merely chasing a fashion, a form of social interaction without any real thought."

Xiao Yi had no desire to sleep and had nothing else to do.

So, Xiao Yi decided just to watch what these people were up to. Since there was nothing better to do, he might as well help Clements by keeping an eye on these folks to ensure they didn’t cause any trouble.

Apart from that couple, the hat man, and the blonde woman, there were three others.

They were a black-haired girl, a muscular man wearing a thin T-shirt to show off his physique, seemingly ambiguous in orientation, Shao Ling, and a quiet, dark-skinned person, Little Black.
