I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 74 I'm Not Interested in You

"Is there any water? I'm thirsty."

"Is there any more food? I'm starving."

"Can you walk slower? My legs are sore."

Li Yuqing kept complaining. Li Xin in front of her only gave her half a Snickers bar and just a few sips of water, which made her have no mood to keep walking.

It sounds nice to say that it is to preserve food and water, but it is obviously stingy. Now that it is daybreak, we can just find a place to rest. Why do we need to save a lot of money?

After daytime, Li Xin became taciturn again.

Recalling last night, they hid in a secluded place, the roars of wild beasts around them kept coming, and she was so scared that she could only hide in the other person's arms.

But Li Xin actually covered her mouth rudely to prevent her from screaming, almost suffocating her.

Whenever she thought of this scene, Li Yuqing would feel resentful and stare at the back of the man in front of her.

He has no manners at all and can't be a little gentle. No girl will like this guy for sure!

"Hey, Li Xin, do you have a girlfriend?" Li Yuqing shouted at him.

"I'm not interested in you." Li Xin responded expressionlessly.

"You big idiot!"

Li Yuqing wanted to verify her guess, but she was unexpectedly ridiculed by the other party. She stomped her feet in anger and cursed angrily.

"Why are you silent again?"

"Talking too much can make your mouth dry, and there's not much water left."

Li Xin's words left Li Yuqing speechless and she had to shut her mouth.

As the sky brightened completely, the thick fog began to dissipate and the vision gradually became clear.

Following his intuition, Chen Xi walked towards one direction of the forest.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any dangerous wild animals.

Only a few wombats crossed his path, but when they saw humans, they just stared at them in a daze and then left.

There are several laughing kookaburras perched on the branches above my head. This is a bird species unique to Australia, named for its unique singing sound that sounds like laughter.

"What's wrong? Why don't you take a rest?" Shen Xinyi keenly noticed that something was wrong with Chen Xi.

"It's nothing. I can still hold on." Chen Xi responded casually, not wanting to make her worry.

At this moment, he felt tingling and itching in his legs.

However, Chen Xi did not care too much about it. His skin has always been sensitive and he often has allergic reactions.

The pain undoubtedly came from the scratches of the Tasmanian devil, and as long as we arrived at the rest stop, there would definitely be medicine for treatment.

Beads of sweat as big as beans slowly slid down his forehead. Shen Xinyi carefully took out a napkin and gently wiped it for him.

There was a determined look on his face, which formed a sharp contrast with the fragility and inability to endure hardship of those rich kids of the same age.

"Drink some water." Shen Xinyi said softly, opening the bottle cap and handing the water to his mouth.

Chen Xi did not refuse, but took a small sip and then motioned for her to drink the rest of the water.

Shen Xinyi nodded silently, but did not take a sip. Instead, she carefully put away the bottle.

The two walked for about half an hour but didn't see a single person.

Shen Xinyi felt that he was a little tired, so she suggested that he take a rest.

Chen Xi nodded and carefully put her down. They sat down against a big tree to rest.

Shen Xinyi noticed that Chen Xi's facial muscles kept twitching, as if he was enduring pain.

She took advantage of Chen Xi's inattention and quickly bent down to lift up his trouser legs. The scene in front of her made her gasp.

The shocking wounds and bloodstained trouser legs silently revealed the severity of the injuries.

What made her even more frightened was that Chen Xi's legs were covered with red bumps, like the marks of being bitten by a swarm of mosquitoes.

Shen Xinyi covered her mouth with one hand and was unable to speak for a moment.

Chen Xi looked down at her injuries, endured the pain, and gave her a comforting smile. At this moment, the pain and shock in her heart could not be described in words.

"It's not a big problem." Chen Xi said, and no one would believe this.

"Your leg……"

"I'd better go by myself. I have to find a doctor as soon as possible." Shen Xinyi's anxiety was beyond words, and she shouted anxiously.

At this time, her tone seemed a little flustered, and she even stuttered.

"It's okay, I have skin allergies, it will go away after a while."

“This doesn’t look like an allergy at all.”

"Let's keep going. This place is too big. It will be dangerous if we wait until night."

Without waiting for Shen Xinyi to continue speaking, Chen Xi quickly stood up, pulled her up, then squatted down and forcibly carried her on his back.

"I can walk by myself."

"Be good and listen to me. I won't let anything happen to you."

Chen Xi was like coaxing a child, asking Shen Xinyi on his back to be as well behaved as possible.

The wound on his leg was itchy and unbearable, and he became very irritated, but he still tried to respond to the other party in a gentle tone.

“Why are you so nice to me?”

Tears glistened in Shen Xinyi's eyes; this question was filled with deep doubt and emotion.

Chen Xi thought for a moment and replied: "Nothing, you look like a good friend of mine who also cares about me."

His answer was half true and half false, and it was hard to find fault with it.

Shen Xinyi asked cautiously: "Ex-girlfriend?"

Chen Xi pondered for a moment and did not answer directly.

Shen Xinyi did not continue to ask. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, feeling both lost and confused.

For a moment, both of them fell into silence.

"Chen Xi!"

The two continued walking for a while, and then a clear female voice broke the silence, her excitement clearly revealed.

The person who spoke was Li Yuqing.

However, when she saw Shen Xinyi on Chen Xi's back, her face instantly became extremely ugly, as if she had eaten shit.

"Chen Xi, why are you carrying her on your back?"

"Shen Xinyi, can't you walk by yourself? You are so embarrassed to let someone carry you. Didn't you see that Chen Xi is covered in sweat?"

Li Yuqing's mouth was like a machine gun, talking non-stop.

She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was in this dense forest, and there was only dissatisfaction and jealousy in her eyes.

"Xinyi's ankle is injured. Stop talking about it. It's annoying!"

Chen Xi frowned, knowing Li Yuqing's character very well. Once she was dissatisfied with something or someone, she would nag non-stop, as if there was a player that never stopped playing in her ears, making people feel extremely irritated.

"Shen Xinyi, get off here!"

Perhaps because she heard Chen Xi say that she was annoying, Li Yuqing completely lost her temper and even cursed.

"Li Yuqing, shut up!"

Chen Xi's tone became extremely stern, and his voice was loud enough to make everything around him fall into silence.

He shouted angrily, causing Li Yuqing to tremble all over and stand still.

"How dare you be so mean to me? How long have you known her and you're already calling her sweetheart? Where has the relationship between you and me that we've had for so many years?"

Li Yuqing's emotions completely exploded. Her body trembled constantly and tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked extremely pitiful.
