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, Isabe 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.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    In the past, Isabe 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 Isabe’s heart, breeding


    endless inferiority and jealousy, leading her to emte, to surpass, and topete with her, going


    further down the wrong path and hurting her deeply.


    Yet, despite all this, when Isabe was in danger, Xanthea chose to save her. She truly was a good


    person.


    But now Isabe realized her mistakes. If she apologized, would Xanthea ept 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 Isabe and ran towards the yground.


    All she wanted now was to finish the show and clear everything up with Orion!


    Ten minutester, the six guests gathered on the sports field, and the production team officially


    presented Xanthea and Isabe 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 regr 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 copsed 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.”
