Chapter 426: Chapter 310: An Untimely Arrival_2

"Okay, coming." She squeezed out a smile and reluctantly followed everyone else out of the hall.

"...Hmph."

However, the girl who called herself Leaf remained seated, not moving an inch. She seemed to have no intention of moving and had completely decided not to act with the group.

"Hmph, go if you want, I won’t move anyway, those people... wow! What are you doing here!?"

Suddenly, Leaf realized there was still someone who hadn’t left and was also staying behind, which gave her quite a shock!

Moreover, upon closer inspection, that person who was still there was none other than Xiao Yi!

"You... why didn’t you leave either?" Leaf clearly felt wary of Xiao Yi; she hardly dared to look directly at him.

"..."

Xiao Yi remained silent, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, not moving at all.

"..." Leaf, feeling wary, stared at Xiao Yi and finally realized something, "Ah! I get it... you are planning to coerce me to act together, aren’t you? You purposely stayed here to urge me, thinking you could make me join... Hmm? No, wait!"

Leaf finally realized something else at that moment: it was just her and Xiao Yi left in the place, and everyone else had already left.

That meant, whatever Xiao Yi wanted to do to her, no one else would hear anything happening here, let alone come to her aid!

"No... don’t! I’ll help out right now! I’ll help out!"

Leaf immediately scrammed, preferring to be a bit tired than to be with Xiao Yi.

Meanwhile, she couldn’t help but feel Xiao Yi truly had his ways, knowing she wouldn’t leave and specifically staying behind to force her to start moving and act with the others.

Leaf’s wariness towards Xiao Yi deepened in her heart; she began to think that maybe it was better to fit in a little more in the future, to avoid always being targeted by Xiao Yi.

"...Hmm?"

The commotion Leaf caused just before she left also caused Xiao Yi to open his eyes.

Xiao Yi looked around the now-empty hall, filled with only himself, and felt puzzled.

"Why is everyone gone?"

Just now, when Wei’er began to speak, Xiao Yi instinctively felt she was about to give a long speech to stabilize people’s emotions, so he felt sleepy and decided to close his eyes and rest for a while.

Then, when Xiao Yi opened his eyes, he discovered everyone was gone.

"This..." Xiao Yi felt the surrounding silence, rubbed his chin, and said, "Could it be... I’ve been given the cold shoulder? They didn’t even take me when they went to the restroom?"

However, Xiao Yi wasn’t really bothered by this.

"...Fine, let them be. It’s nice to have some peace and quiet."

Xiao Yi stretched lazily and was about to change to a more comfortable position when he started hearing someone shouting repeatedly.

"...What’s happening?"

Thinking he had nothing better to do, Xiao Yi got up and went to check out the source of the noise.

Then, he discovered that someone had found the kitchen, and, to their delight, found the kitchen’s refrigerator filled with a variety of foods, enough to sustain them for several days.

Moreover, there was also a supply of clean water, so they no longer had to worry about water and food.

Xiao Yi then realized that everyone had gone to look for food, not because they wanted to isolate him.

At the same time, Xiao Yi thought: However, they didn’t wake me up, which probably wasn’t because they didn’t notice I was taking a little nap. It seems they didn’t want to disturb me, what a gentle bunch of people.

As for why no one called for Xiao Yi, it wasn’t because they hadn’t noticed, but because they thought that Xiao Yi, with his eyes closed, must have been pondering some important issue, so they didn’t bother him.

Afterward, Lin Huixue showed off her culinary skills, and admittedly, her cooking was indeed excellent, impressing everyone.

Lin Huixue herself seemed very happy, as if she had achieved some sort of goal.

After dinner, although no device showing the time could be found on the ship and the exact time was unknown, the dim sky made it clear that it was already very late, definitely deep into the night.

Thus, everyone decided to engage in some free activities for a while before randomly choosing a room to sleep in.

There were many rooms on the cruise used as bedrooms, and any one of them could be chosen.

Later, Six chose to go straight to a room, while Leaf decided to stick with Lin Huixue, whispering something unknown.

Xiao Yi thought for a moment; since there weren’t any entertainment activities on board, it might be better to go to rest early.

So, Xiao Yi randomly picked a room and then lay on the bed contemplating how to write the next Chapter.

Of course, this referred to how Xiao Yi would write his own work.

Just then, someone knocked on his door.

"Xiao Yi, are you asleep?"

Xiao Yi replied, "My silence is a testimony that I’m already asleep."

"..." There was silence on the other side of the door for a moment, then the question came, "May I come in?"

"Of course," Xiao Yi said, "since you’ve politely knocked, I certainly can’t refuse."

"...Thank you." Then, Wei’er opened the door, walked in, and even closed the door behind her.

Wei’er’s arrival already implied one thing, that although everyone spoke of cooperating with each other, they were actually skeptical of one another.

Hence, this private exchange.

Merely six people were already secretly divided into different teams.

Xiao Yi then asked, "So, what brings you to see me privately?"

"I..." Wei’er said, "I think you are a trustworthy person, so, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"Am I trustworthy?" Xiao Yi asked, "I don’t recall displaying any behavior that would make me seem trustworthy. On what basis do you judge that I am to be trusted?"

For instance, she knew about the event from twelve years ago and knew that Xiao Yi was unrelated to it, which is why she believed in Xiao Yi.

"...Intuition," Wei’er answered.

"Is that so? That indeed sounds like a convincing reason," Xiao Yi responded, left without a response.

"I’ll just say it," Wei’er said, "everyone claims to have few memories of twelve years ago, which I find strange. Especially since that informed man mentioned that the incident from twelve years could be the cause of everything. I don’t think this clue should be easily dismissed... Having said that, I personally have no recollection of twelve years ago."

"So..." Xiao Yi asked, "what are you trying to say?"

"Xiao Yi..." Wei’er said, "can you help me? I want to try to get some information from others, as some people may have deliberately hidden what they know about the incident from twelve years ago."

"...Yes," Xiao Yi immediately responded.

"...Huh?" Wei’er was briefly taken aback.

Just as Wei’er was about to say something else, Xiao Yi’s door was pushed open.

"Xiao Yi, are you asleep? I wanted to talk to you about... uh!"

Hart walked in and then saw Wei’er in Xiao Yi’s room.

He immediately looked embarrassed, "Sorry, it seems I’ve come at a bad time."

"No..." Wei’er stopped him, saying, "You’ve come at just the right time."

"...Ah?" Hart couldn’t help but be stunned, "Isn’t this getting a bit too big?"
