America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 87 New Bet, Reward for Playing House
"Our team is only 11 points now. If we delay any longer, the treasure will be snatched away by other teams."

Seraphina shouted hurriedly, "Besides, the longer this kind of activity is delayed, the less likely we are to score points later. If we delay now, every time we arrive at a place, the treasure might have already been dug up by other teams, and we'll have to search again foolishly..."

It turns out that little head can think of these things clearly.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately noticed Seraphina looking at him for approval.

“That’s the truth.”

Li Xiaoen shrugged, and before Seraphina could even show any surprise, he continued, "But the purpose of this orientation activity is for students to collaborate with each other and get to know each other. If you ignore your own physical strength and force yourself to do it, it defeats the purpose."

"I think the most important thing about this kind of activity is to have fun, not to worry about winning or losing."

Because of what Victoria said before, Li Xiaoen looked at the girl with a smile. He didn't care that she rolled her eyes. He moved his feet and sat down next to her.

"Seraphina, why don't we just take a break."

Mary on the other side also interrupted, and everyone turned to look and realized that she had already sat on the wooden chair in the lumberyard.

"You guys..."

Seraphina glanced helplessly at the others, her eyes, which had always been restless and passionate, becoming dejected. She nodded resignedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"or……"

Every proposal Seraphina had made since the start of the trip had been rejected. Victoria felt a little resentful and looked around at everyone. "Let's get going. I can still hold on, but I might not have the energy to find the treasure once we get there."

“I think this method is feasible!”

Before Seraphina could speak, Sufeil was the first to nod in agreement.

Sure enough, this woman would never think of giving up or admitting defeat.

Looking at Sufei's serious face full of fighting spirit, Li Xiaoen felt a sense of openness as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had come out. No wonder the other party had not expressed any opinion on his proposal before.

"That's really great!"

Seraphina nodded in surprise, her body movements returning to their previous lively and active state. She walked over to Mary and said, "Mary, if you're tired, I can carry you."

"..."

After a slight hesitation, Li Xiaoen looked at Victoria and happened to meet her eyes.

"If it's Victoria, I'll do it."

On the other side, Sufeil broke the inexplicable atmosphere between the two.

"Um, okay."

Victoria turned her head to look at Sufeil first, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Sufeil."

"I should always carry you on my back."

Sufeier shook his head and glanced at Li Xiaoen unconsciously.

Li Xiaoen: "..."

"Sufeil, are you okay?"

As they were walking back to the next destination, Seraphina noticed that Sufir's breathing was getting heavier and his waist was bending lower and lower, so she asked hurriedly.

"fine."

Sufeil let out a long breath, "I can hold on."

"What I want is not that you can hold on. What I want is that you can relax a little so that you still have the energy to look for treasure when you get there."

Seraphina showed great responsiveness and calmness in matters related to the victory of this game, which made Li Xiaoen, who was walking slowly behind her, stunned for a moment.

Of course, she is worthy of being the daughter of an American capitalist. Li Xiaoen felt amused and secretly gave Seraphina a thumbs up.

"I'd better get down and walk."

Victoria couldn't help but patted Sufei's shoulder and said, "I have recovered some of my strength and can walk now."

"What are you laughing at?" Seraphina turned around and looked at Li Xiaoen. She rolled her eyes and turned her head to signal, "Your teammates are unable to move, and you are still happy to watch?"

"I really doubt that winning the game and the military are all on your mind."

Unable to resist a complaint, Li Xiaoen came to Victoria who had just been put down on the ground, "Do you need help?"

Victoria was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Looking at the young man squatting in front of her, she took a deep breath and slowly lay her body on his broad back.

This was what she had expected from the beginning. Now that she could actually feel the warmth from the young man's body and an indescribable but not unpleasant smell, Victoria felt indescribable excitement and excitement in her heart.

Is this for people to carry on their backs?
Noticing Victoria's strange posture with her legs bent behind her, Li Xiaoen felt amused and simply reached behind her with his hands, lifted her thighs to her sides, and stood up all of a sudden.

"Oh..."

The sudden movement made Victoria lose her balance. She quickly hugged Li Xiaoen's neck with both hands and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

After reacting, Victoria quickly loosened her arms that were hugging the young man, moved her upper body a little further away from the other's back, and then patted his shoulder in dissatisfaction.

"Are you asking someone to carry you?"

The touching soft touch on the back flashed by, and Li Xiaoen felt a little subtle in his heart, and immediately attracted the scrutiny of Sufeil who was following closely beside him.

Ignoring it, Li Xiaoen slowly raised his feet, but immediately stopped.

"Sean, what's wrong?" Victoria asked in confusion.

"I finally understand what Sufir feels like."

Li Xiaoen stood there, muttering to himself, causing several girls to look at him. He turned back to look at Victoria, but the girl held both sides of his face with her hands and forced him to face forward.

"If you like to keep us in suspense, then there's no need to explain it!"

Victoria put a little more force on her hands and squeezed the young man's cheeks.

"Isn't that what I was going to say?"

The little hands on both sides of the cheeks were cool, but they felt somewhat comfortable in this hot weather, Li Xiaoen explained vaguely.

"It's too late, don't say it!" Victoria refused.

"Since you are so determined not to tell me, it seems like you know what I mean, Victoria."

Li Xiaoen didn't hesitate, but said it with a smile.

"you?!"

Victoria snorted, looked down, and put her hands on the young man's neck to pinch him.

She naturally knew what the young man wanted to say, which was that he simply disliked her weight. She didn't expect that even though she reacted quickly to stop him, she was still angered by him.

"Okay, let's go quickly."

At first, Sufei was a little surprised when he was mentioned. It was only after he realized what was happening that he rolled his eyes and raised his hands to pull away Victoria's hands from Li Xiaoen's neck.

Is this a pinch? Can you use a little more force?
Sufeil secretly complained in his heart and felt a little uncomfortable.

After playing around, Li Xiaoen just started to walk again when the system screen popped up in front of him again.
