Chapter 5

Following the directions given by Lu Guangzong, Lu Dongsheng soon arrived at the foot of an unknown mountain.

I followed behind them with my things, noticing that all three were focused on the path beneath their feet. I discreetly pulled out a mango-flavored candy from my pocket and ate it.

I am allergic to mango; eating it causes itching all over, red rashes, and weakness.

It's not that I want to harm myself on purpose, but past life experiences have taught me that even if I say I don't want to go, they won't agree.

Soon after eating, the effects were evident. I squatted on the ground, unable to move after just a few steps.

Chen Xiumei rolled her eyes at the sight of me covered in red rashes: "What nonsense are you up to again? Did you sneak a bite of mango?"

Lu Dongsheng also turned back: "Can you keep going? Just hold on a bit."

I could no longer speak, yet the two continued to scold me for being useless and dampening the mood.
