Chapter 125 Male Vixens
Xavier and Hera did not stop Zen from making a sarcastic remark because what he said wasn’t wrong. They didn’t sympathize with the other participants, even as they recognized their unwitting role as pawns in someone else’s game. In their view, it underscored the necessity of vigilance and discernment, highlighting the importance of considering multiple perspectives before forming judgments.
Now that there might be repercussions, they could only blame themselves for it and no one else.
As Hera and her team abandoned their previous modesty, they opted to prepare their meals in the kitchen without waiting for others to finish. This allowed them to enjoy a leisurely breakfast while their fellow participants hurried to prepare theirs, aiming to have enough time to eat and digest before the scheduled call time.
Xavier carefully poured maple syrup onto Hera’s pancake before passing it to her. He noticed how much she enjoyed sweets during their meals at the villagers’ houses, so he made sure to add plenty of maple syrup to her plate.
Xavier’s gesture brought a smile to Hera’s face, her eyes narrowing to crescents as she savored the pancake and the orange juice they had acquired through Zen’s points.
As Hera leaned in to enjoy her breakfast, a stray strand of hair escaped its tuck behind her ear, nearly dipping into the maple syrup on her plate. Xavier, ever observant, noticed just in time. With gentle precision, he reached out and delicately tucked the strand of hair back behind her ear. The cool touch of his fingers against the warmth of her skin sent a shiver down Hera’s spine, causing her long eyelashes to flutter from the ticklish sensation that traveled from her ears to her brain.
