Chapter 293
“Xanthea, what happened to your lips? They look swollen!”
“Uh?” Xanthea blinked, then touched her lips in surprise, “Do they?”
“Yeah, they’re pretty puffed up, like you were bitten!”
At the mention of “being bitten, Xanthea reacted like a cat that had its tail stepped on. “I was just really nervous and scared in the haunted house, and t kept biting my lip, so it swelled up. Isn’t your throat hoarse too?”
“I see”
Upon hearing her words, Isabella felt a deep surge of emotion and guilt.
She had watched Xanthea calmly solving puzzles inside, doing everything she could to rescue her, and had assumed she wasn’t afraid of ghosts at all.
It turned out, she was scared too. Terrified, even.
In the past, Isabella had always seen her as a rival, even an imagined enemy, envying her for being Samuel’s sister and jealous of the love and attention she received, yet she had never truly understood Xanthea as a person.
It wasn’t until just now that she fully realized Xanthea had always been a bright, warm–hearted girl, which was why so many people adored her
And it was precisely this radiant light that exposed the darkness within Isabella’s heart, breeding endless inferiority and jealousy, leading her to emulate, to surpass, and to compete with her, going further down the wrong path and hurting her deeply.
Yet, despite all this, when Isabella was in danger, Xanthea chose to save her. She truly was a good person.
But now Isabella realized her mistakes. If she apologized, would Xanthea accept it? There was something else.
“Xanthea”
Let’s head to the gathering spot!”
Xanthea stared at the haunted house’s entrance for a long while. When there was no sign of movement, she grabbed Isabella and ran towards the playground.
All she wanted now was to finish the show and clear everything up with Orion!
Ten minutes later, the six guests gathered on the sports field, and the production team officially presented Xanthea and Isabella with Queen crowns, bringing the show to its final segment.
“It’s been a pleasure having everyone here for this episode of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night. With everyone’s efforts, this episode has achieved record–breaking ratings.”
[Was it really everyone’s efforts? It was all Xanthea single–handedly holding it together!]
[Petition for Xanthea to be on the next episode! Love her and Mr. Lockwood!]
[Im crying! Ive been shipping Oranthea like crazy these past two days, and now it’s over? No way, I need more! I want to see them fall in love, get married, and have kids!).
[This episode was epic, especially Oranthea’s haunted house adventure. I’m totally smitten by Xanthea’s charm, why isn’t she a regular guest?]
Is it over already? Nooo, I don’t want it to end, I haven’t seen enough of Orantheal]
[rm waving the banner for Oranthea, let’s see who dares to challenge them! Xanthea and Mr. Lockwood, please start dating after the show and send us some sweet updates!]
“All right, that wraps up this episode. To our viewers at home, see you next time!”
As the Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night crew and all six guests waved goodbye to the camera, the camera shut off, and everyone collapsed in exhaustion.
Director said. “Great job, everyone! The return flight is arranged, and there’s a variety of snacks on board, hope you all can enjoy them without holding any grudges.”
