Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 203

Sheng Xi turned her face away and denied, "No, I don't understand what you're talking about."

After that, no matter how much Qin Zhao pursued and questioned her, she stopped answering.

Qin Zhao sighed and helplessly said, "How can you tell me, in the end?"

Of course, there was no response.

Qin Zhao temporarily let her be, but he kept thinking of ways to make Sheng Xi speak up.

In the autumn, the fruits in the trees by the river ripened.

Qin Zhao took a basket he had woven himself and picked a basket of apples, pomelos, and persimmons.

These were varieties that they had found and crossbred from wild fruit trees on the Barren Ancient Star over the years.

Qin Zhao washed the dust off the fruits with river water, brought them back to the tent, and ate them together with Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi picked up an apple, took a bite, and immediately made a face as if she had bitten into something bitter.

But she still chewed and swallowed it.

Sheng Xi complained, "We're not eating fruits here, we're basically pouring vinegar into our mouths."

Qin Zhao calmly finished eating a persimmon and said, "What can we do? It's already not easy to survive on the Barren Ancient Star. We don't have the qualifications to be picky."

She spoke with a carefree tone, but there was a hint of loneliness in her voice.

Sheng Xi comforted her, "The interstellar jump track will be repaired, and we'll be able to return to the Blue Star soon. If you don't like these fruits, I can go to a farther place and find sweeter ones."

Qin Zhao picked up a pomelo, tossed it up high, and caught it repeatedly.

Then she suddenly spoke, "A few days ago, when I was patrolling the surroundings, I saw two grapevines on the eastern side of the forest on the cliff. They had several clusters of large and plump purple grapes."

Sheng Xi said, "Then we can transplant the grapevines!"

Qin Zhao hesitated slightly, "Well, we can... You accompany me, though. I'm worried about accidents. It would be safer if we go together."

Sheng Xi readily agreed.

The two put on grass shoes, took ropes made of vines, and headed towards the cliff.

When they arrived at the edge of the cliff, Qin Zhao pointed to the grapevines growing on the cliff face and showed them to Sheng Xi.

After taking a glance, Sheng Xi said, "Let me go down, and you hold onto the safety rope for me."

"Okay."

Just as Qin Zhao finished speaking, her feet suddenly slipped, and she fell off the cliff!

At the last moment, she barely managed to catch the edge of the cliff with her right hand.

Seeing this, Sheng Xi was terrified and quickly used both hands to grab Qin Zhao's hand, shouting, "Zhao Zhao, don't be afraid, I'll pull you up!"

She exerted all her strength to pull Qin Zhao up but felt a resistance. Surprised, she asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you pushing against me?"

Qin Zhao's left hand fingers dug into the cliff wall, pushing downward with force, and said, "Sheng Xi, let go of me.

Actually, I don't want to continue living. I'm tired of being a wild person on the Barren Ancient Star.

It's better to end it all and start anew."

"No, I won't let you die. Don't you have any attachment to me at all?"

"I do, but it's not enough to sustain me until the day the track is repaired."

Sheng Xi burst into tears, "I thought as long as I treated you well and we spent enough time together, you would eventually accept me.

But I never thought that your patience would run out.

I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao. I realize my mistake."

Qin Zhao looked up at Sheng Xi's tearful eyes and thought to herself, "Let's see how long you can keep hiding it!"

She forced a smile and said, "It's okay, as long as you let go, I'll forgive you."

Not only did Sheng Xi not let go, but she tightened her grip even more, her arm trembling from the exertion.

But she didn't loosen her hold.

"I won't let you die! Shall I call the spaceship to take us back to Blue Star, okay?"

"Haha!" Qin Zhao laughed out loud. "Sheng Xi, Sheng Xi, you really can hide things. You only speak up when I threaten your life."

Sheng Xi looked at Qin Zhao's relaxed smile and realized she had been tricked. Without realizing it, she let go of Qin Zhao's hand.

Qin Zhao immediately began to fall!

Sheng Xi panicked and tried to grab her but ended up falling as well!

Qin Zhao quickly grabbed onto a tree growing on the cliff with one hand and grabbed Sheng Xi with the other.

The two of them hung in mid-air, and Qin Zhao said, "You're trying to kill me!"

Looking at the abyss beneath her feet, Sheng Xi swallowed hard and said, "So I'm being punished too."

They struggled hard and finally managed to climb back up. The grapes on the vine were all crushed.

As a result, both of them were covered in grape juice, sticky and messy.

They lay side by side on the ground to rest, and Qin Zhao asked, "If I hadn't pressured you, when would you have confessed about the spaceship?"

Sheng Xi replied, "Probably never. I was afraid you would blame me, but I was even more afraid of you leaving me."

In fact, Qin Zhao was unwilling to accept Sheng Xi for another reason: she didn't know if Sheng Xi liked the original host or the present her.

Qin Zhao turned over and looked at Sheng Xi, asking, "When did you start liking me?"

The answer to this question would determine the direction of their relationship.

Sheng Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it was when you, at the age of eleven, asked me if I wanted to be your friend.

Your sincere eyes at that time appeared in my dreams many times during the more than ten years we were apart."

Qin Zhao moved closer to Sheng Xi and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Thank you for letting me know about those things. I have let go now."

Sheng Xi didn't understand why Qin Zhao suddenly said that, but she still said, "That's good. Now we can be together without any barriers."

That night, the two of them shared some intimate moments.

Sheng Xi got what she wanted and savored it, making sure Qin Zhao couldn't get a good night's sleep.

As a result, Qin Zhao now had deep dark circles under her eyes.

Before Qin Zhao was completely drained, Sheng Xi used her contacts to install a communication device on Barren Ancient Star and contacted the spaceship in advance.

This spaceship didn't need to return to Blue Star through orbit; it could directly perform space jumps.

Currently, the only organization on Blue Star capable of providing this level of spaceship was the renowned Yabelen Company.

What the public didn't know was that Sheng Xi was the boss behind this company!

Xu Lianggong and others spotted the spaceship's presence for the first time and gathered at the riverbank where Qin Zhao and Sheng Xi were.

The letters "Yabelen" printed on the spacecraft immediately made everyone understand that they could go home!

The wild people left behind tears of bitterness.

Captain Liang Lingyu walked up to Sheng Xi respectfully and said, "Boss."

Everyone stopped crying and stared at Sheng Xi in astonishment!

Realizing that they had missed the chance to get close to the boss of Yabelen Company in the past four years, their tears flowed even more fiercely!

An Hongyu, lying on a stretcher, deeply regretted his actions. If only he hadn't played tricks back then and honestly pursued Sheng Xi, he might have had children by now.

Lost in a daydream, Sheng Xi, oblivious to An Hongyu's thoughts, took Qin Zhao's hand and boarded the spaceship.

The others followed, but Liang Lingyu stopped them and said, "There are no available seats on this spaceship. You'll have to wait for the next one."

After speaking, she turned and boarded the spaceship.

Leaving behind a group of confused and baffled people.

As they watched the departing spaceship, they belatedly started cursing...

On the spaceship, Sheng Xi asked, "Zhao Zhao, what are your plans after returning to Blue Star?"
