Meanwhile, seeing as how her friends were reacting, Mu Lingxi badly wanted to slap their heads and wipe those teasing smiles on their faces even just this once.
Just like before, they were being way too cooperative in the wrong timing.
Mu Lingxi already knew that no matter how hard she tries to explain the situation to her friends later, it was futile.

Since explaining the situation will just make her look like more in denial and it will just further her friend's suspicion, then might as well change the topic altogether.
"How long does it take before the time limit for this competition will end?"
Mu Lingxi asked out of the blue to divert their attention into another topic instead.
