Deities Are All Just My Food

Even if it were a muscular man practicing Sanda, a sweeping leg hitting Lin Baici...

Lin Baici would remain unmoved.

But when with a girl, he couldn’t be insensitive, so Lin Baici deliberately let out an "ow," pretending to lose balance and staggered backward.

"Careful!"

Liu Zilu was startled and rushed to grab Lin Baici.

But Lin Baici suddenly stood firm, and Liu Zilu was the one who slipped and bumped into him.

Bang!

Lin Baici reacted quickly, catching Liu Zilu by the waist and stabilizing her.

"Ruru, are you okay?"

"Did you twist your ankle?"

Tao Nai and Bai Jiao asked with concern.

"The class president is such a big guy, with your petite size, you can’t support him!"

Xu Jiaqi thought Liu Zilu was overestimating her abilities, and judging by the balance Lin Baici showed climbing the stairs earlier, there was no way he could fall flat.

Lin Baici was just playfully teasing Ji Xinyan.

Xu Jiaqi, having trained in gymnastics as a child, could tell from Lin Baici’s posture and walking that he not only worked out but had undergone other training.

"I’m fine!"

Liu Zilu felt embarrassed, having been held by Lin Baici and for her overly eager reaction.

If Ji Xinyan found out she liked Lin Baici, that would be trouble.

Liu Zilu quickly sneaked a glance at Ji Xinyan, and seeing she wasn’t watching, sighed in relief.

In fact, Ji Xinyan had already lamented and composed herself.

Best friend plus dorm mate liking her close guy friend, what a predicament?

Thankfully, Lin Baici was so outstanding that Liu Zilu didn’t dare be proactive, only caring silently, or else who knows what might have happened.

Lin Baici waited for Liu Zilu to stand firm and then let go.

Liu Zilu felt a sudden sense of loss as Lin Baici released her.

If only she could be held by him all the time,

wouldn’t that be great?

The line moved forward, and it was finally Lin Baici’s turn.

"I’ll go first!"

Xu Jiaqi cheered as she sat at the slide’s entrance, pushed off hard, and slid down the path.

Ah!

Xu Jiaqi’s scream echoed muffled within the enclosed slide.

Bai Jiao listened to Xu Jiaqi’s screams, swallowed, a bit nervously.

"Jiaozi, are you scared?"

Ji Xinyan teased loudly, "If you’re afraid, you’ll have to sit at the kids’ table during meals from now on!"

"I... I’m not scared?"

Bai Jiao retorted stubbornly.

"You still say you’re not scared? Your tongue is getting tied up!"

Tao Nai was surprised, "You shouldn’t be scared, right? You’re not afraid of heights?"

Bai Jiao often stood by the window in the dorm looking below without feeling dizzy.

"Miss, please hurry up!"

The staff member next to them urged.

This amusement ride was Water World’s main attraction, so the line behind was long.

"Pei Fei, you go first!"

Ji Xinyan saw Bai Jiao’s off expression and stopped joking, letting Pei Fei go first. She walked over and grabbed Bai Jiao’s arm.

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Xinyan asked softly.

It shouldn’t be her period, right?

Because they were going to play in the water today, Ji Xinyan had asked about everyone’s physical condition beforehand.

"..."

Bai Jiao didn’t answer.

"You don’t like confined spaces?"

Lin Baici guessed. The fear of heights symptom would be obvious, and any dorm mate who played together would know.

Since Ji Xinyan and the others hadn’t noticed, it must be something else.

Lin Baici glanced toward the slide.

Because the giant slide was so long and high, the amusement park was concerned about accidents and made it enclosed.

It was essentially a long tube, twisting and winding.

Lin Baici looked through the entrance. Although the tube’s material was some kind of engineering plastic, overall it was slightly yellowish and translucent, for some timid folks, the inside still seemed dark and cramped.

Sitting inside with a straight back, someone Lin Baici’s size could reach the tube’s top with raised hands.

Lin Baici estimated that Bai Jiao might have claustrophobia, but using such a term would be hurtful. After all, no one wants to be considered ill, so he phrased it as ’not liking small spaces.’

That was very considerate of him.

"Mm... mm!"

Bai Jiao nodded.

Her grandpa’s house was in the countryside. When she was young, her mother took her there, and there was a cellar. Bai Jiao played hide-and-seek with some cousins and got locked in, scaring her to death.

"Then don’t play, your health is more important. I’ll take you down!"

Ji Xinyan offered.

She had organized the outing, and now that someone was in trouble, it was her responsibility to take care of them.

"No need!"

Bai Jiao quickly shook her head.

She didn’t want to trouble others; after all, everyone had queued for over twenty minutes, it’d be a shame to go down directly.

More importantly, she didn’t want to be underestimated. Especially in front of Lin Baici.

"Can you guys hurry up?"

"What’s the holdup?"

"Afraid? Then step aside!"

The people behind, getting impatient, started urging.

Exhale!

Bai Jiao took a deep breath, "I can do it!"

She sat down, forcing herself to stay strong, but anyone could tell she was scared.

Her body was trembling.

"You can’t play like this!"

Ji Xinyan worried Bai Jiao might get hurt.

"How about not playing? You can exit from here!"

The staff advised.

Bai Jiao’s stubbornness flared; she insisted on playing.
