Chapter 5 - Rover Island (3)

"Who—?" Startled, She tried to shout out, but the person covered her mouth in an instant as she looked up towards the dark face.

"Shh! It's me." 

The scent of fresh mint filled her nose as An Jiaxin almost stopped breathing. 

'Mo Xuan? What was he doing here?'

Mo Xuan let go of her mouth when she stopped moving, pinning her against the wall.

An Jiaxin felt her face was burning up as she looked up towards him. 

What does he want? I just met him this morning! 

But Mo Xuan leaned in closer to her ear which made An Jiaxin subconsciously close her eyes, whispering something that she didn't expected, "Game player?" 

An Jiaxin was startled at the sudden question as she looked up straight into his eyes, "What do you mean? I don't get it."

Seeing the fully guarded girl who was acting nervous till now, Mo Xuan didn't have any doubt anymore. 

'This girl was definitely a Player!'

But the way she mingled within the NPC's makes her special, Mo Xuan had to admit it. 

"NPC's couldn't know any information about game circles. Remember not to spill the milk, rookie." 

Mo Xuan gave a wicked smirk as he looked at the surprised face.

'What the…? Was he trying to test me?'

An Jiaxin suddenly felt that the man in front of her wasn't something sweet anymore… but a jar of vinergar!

"Also, don't reveal your information to other players, you don't know what will happen anytime." Mo Xuan pinched the girls nose who was looking at him with a sour expression. 

'This girl is actually funny.'

"Got it!" 

An Jiaxin nodded her head vigorously, agreeing with him from outside. 

'You mean it's alright when you reveal my identity, but it's not alright with others? What a sly fox!'

"Do what you want, I'll come to meet you soon." Mo Xuan straightened his back as he distanced from An Jiaxin, then left without looking back. 

"Who does he think he is to order me around? You'll see what I do to you!" An Jiaxin snorted on his back as she turned around, preparing to get her bath.

It was already afternoon when she finally woke up from her sleep after eating, An Jiaxin decided to take a stroll around the village. 

But the moment she stepped out of the hut, she almost got a heart attack seeing the godly statue standing in front of her, leaning against the door with a devilish smirk.

"Wha! W-what are you doing here?" shocked, An Jiaxin looked up at Mo Xuan with a sour expression as she asked him.

However, Mo Xuan's answer was so short that it pissed her off. 

"Waiting for you." 

"Then what—" She wanted to snap back at the guy to teach him a lesson, but the dazzling bright and handsome face almost made her go blind.

"Hah! What do you want, Mr. Mo?" An Jiaxin pinched her forehead as she asked the guy.

'Calm down Jiaxin! Don't get mad! Just let him be!'

"What were you doing?" Mo Xuan asked with a blunt expression. 

"Nothing, just took a nap." An Jiaxin smiled at him sweetly, which made his expression even more bland.

She couldn't catch up to what this man was thinking.

"Follow me." 

Throwing the two words towards her, Mo Xuan turned around and started to walk away, not waiting for her.

An Jiaxin was dumbfounded for the third time, but still sighed and followed him from behind.

Mo Xuan stopped in front of the corn field, it was actually a vast field that was also pleasing to the eye.

"What are we doing here?" An Jiaxin asked him out of curiosity. 

"Don't you feel something is strange in thus round?" Mo Xuan's question also stratled her.

"Which part are you exactly talking about, Mr. Mo?" An Jiaxin wanted to be more specific. 

Because she didn't have any experience in overcoming unexpected situations, as she never really went into field work.

Considering her condition as a stay-in-home girl, everything here was pretty dangerous, and she needed someone's assistance to overcome this situation as well.

"We have to live here for thirty days, other players are just wandering around and enjoying the scenery like they are on a picnic, but why does Ms. An insist on working with NPC's?" Mo Xuan crossed his arms over his chest as he asked her, waiting for an obvious answer.

But what came out of An Jiaxin's mouth was something really unexpected. 

She held her chin with a thoughtful expression, calculating the various reasons.

"Um… to gain experience?" An Jiaxin went down the honest route as she answered the question with a doubtful expression. 

But looking at Mo Xuan who raised his eyebrows in curiosity and was waiting for a further explanation, she sighed as she prepared to give him a satisfying answer.

"Actually, I don't have much real life experience in many things… like cooking, cleaning or even driving cars. But from what I think, this survival game wouldn't end with just one round. And if I want to pass through them, then I need real life experience in various handiwork."

"That's why I'm not lazing around and trying to work." 

An Jiaxin was honest with her thoughts and explanation, which surprised Mo Xuan. 

He didn't actually expect her to be this simple minded and tell him about her future plan with a clear explanation. 

'If she is being that much honest, then I think I can believe her.'

"Trust binds two people with mutual benefits."

"?"

All of a sudden, An Jiaxin was taken aback with his mention of a life lesson.

'Did I say something wrong? What is this reaction?'

"We have to live in this place for thirty days, did you smell something fishy here?" Mo Xuan asked her.

"Well, I'm not sure."

'Just pretend not to know much.' is what An Jiaxin thought.

'Yeah, continue acting. I can wait for that too.' 

"How much supply do you have?"
