ALL NOVEL Chapter 48: Kiana is a Genius!!
It didn't take long for Bronya to finish treating Fu Hua's injury.
"Whoa!" Kiana looked at the neat bandaging and couldn't help but sigh. She smiled and patted Bronya, "Didn't expect Bronya to be so skilled! You can't judge a book by its cover!"
Bronya, whose body swayed from Kiana's pat, turned around and looked at Kiana speechlessly.
Well, she was praising me, so I'll let it go…
"Are you saying that Bronya doesn't look that capable?" Shu said, poking fun at the rare idiom Kiana used.
Kiana: "Huh? That's not what I meant!"
Bronya: "..." And the last of my good mood has vanished…
Seeing Kiana's flustered attempts to explain, Shu chuckled. His sense of mischief was satisfied.
"Alright, Kiana didn't mean it," Mei said, helping Kiana explain. "Class monitor, how do you feel?"
Fu Hua, with Shu's help, stood up, took a few steps, and then stomped her foot lightly before nodding. "It's much better now. Let's go, I can keep up with you."
"Hmm…" Although Mei wanted Fu Hua to rest a bit longer, she and Shu had already "analyzed" where Theresa and Himeko might be. It was already afternoon, and they still hadn't found a shelter to rest in.
So, Mei could only ask Fu Hua to bear with it.
"Then let's go," Mei said to everyone, before looking at Fu Hua, "Class monitor, if anything feels wrong, tell us immediately, don't push yourself."
Shu nodded in agreement. He hated people who gritted their teeth and insisted that they were fine, not knowing if those people thought they were blind or that they could hide it from them.
"Class monitor! If you can't run, I'll carry you!" Kiana flexed her arm, showing everyone her muscles. Shu took a closer look, but could only make out a faint outline.
Thinking about the monstrous strength that Kiana possessed, Shu felt terrible.
What does Kiana eat to grow up like that?!
Sighing, Shu and his group set off to find the convenience store.
He remembered that "before," they had arrived there quickly…
But reality was— even when it was already dark, Shu still couldn't see any sign of that store.
"Mei, it's already dark, we should…" Fu Hua looked at Mei. It was no longer safe for them to continue. Without street lights and neon signs, they didn't even have a flashlight or a torch. It was dangerous to walk around in this darkness.
Mei was also considering this issue. Traveling at night was too dangerous, but their original plan was to arrive at the convenience store before nightfall. Now their schedule had been disrupted. If they really had to rest nearby, they might not be able to leave until the next morning.
Would Himeko and Theresa still be there then?
Thinking of this, Mei looked at Shu. "Shu… What should we do?"
Shu frowned. He'd forgotten that he and Kiana had been running before, and that they had left at noon, not late afternoon.
This meant that they might have to continue their journey at night.
Shu subconsciously also felt that resting nearby was the best choice, but he also knew that Himeko desperately needed his medicine.
He'd already delayed for an entire afternoon. If he delayed it again for a whole night, Shu wouldn't be able to guarantee Himeko's safety.
Frustration welled up again. Shu clicked his tongue, He hated these damn multiple-choice questions!
While Shu was struggling, the others stopped and waited for him and Mei to make a decision.
"Ah… I'm so bored…" Kiana, who hadn't eaten anything for the entire day, felt the pain from her stomach. She glanced at the pills sticking out of Shu's pockets, before looking away.
Those pills were small, unappetizing, and couldn't fill her stomach…
Arghhh, I want to eat Mei's cooking… Shu's would also be fine…
Kiana squatted down, and started to fiddle with random things to distract herself.
Then, Kiana picked up a one-dollar coin.
Kiana's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked it up. Then she looked around and started to worry about the coin.
It's not like she could use it now…
With a frown, Kiana tossed the coin up and down to distract herself.
At this moment, Shu was on the verge of insanity. Having learned many lessons from "before," the more he considered, the harder it was to make a decision.
He thought hard. He racked his brains. He scratched his head. He wanted to become dark and twisted… He saw a glint of something in his peripheral vision.
"Kiana?" Shu looked over at Kiana, who was tossing the coin in the air. "What are you doing?"
Kiana lifted her head, looking at Shu in confusion. "Guessing the coin… what's wrong?"
Guessing the coin? My head is about to explode from all this thinking, and you're…
Shu paused. His gaze settled on the coin in Kiana's hand.
A coin!!
Shu suddenly felt a wave of excitement. He quickly squatted down and grabbed Kiana's hand.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Kiana yelled, attracting everyone's attention.
Shu took the coin, held it in front of him, and stared at it as if it were a rare treasure.
Make a choice? What's the point of making a choice?
This coin would solve everything!
"Kiana! You are a genius!!" Shu said excitedly, shaking Kiana's hand. He was about to flip the coin.
Heads, we'll keep moving forward. Tails, we'll rest nearby. No hesitation!
Shu made up his mind. But at the last moment, he stopped.
No… I'd almost forgotten that I'm unlucky…
He had to let someone else do this.
"Kiana!" Shu glanced around. Kiana's face was the most striking.
Under the moonlight, Kiana's white hair seemed to glow. If one ignored her expression, Kiana actually seemed deserving of her title: Goddess of the Moon.
Kiana took the coin back with confusion. After a moment, she looked up at Shu, "Uh… do you… want me to do something?"
