Chapter 67 How to bite where I bit

Shen Lai's body suddenly stiffened.

As if noticing something unusual about Shen Lai, Shen Lai raised her eyelids and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lai looked at the overlapping teeth marks on the grilled fish and whispered, "Why are you biting where I bit?"

Pei Jingyan glanced at the grilled fish in her hand and said calmly, "I didn't notice."

After saying that, he added, "This fish is delicious."

Seeing that Pei Jingyan didn't take it seriously at all, Shen Lai felt that if she reacted too much, it would make her seem too pretentious.

She comforted herself, forget it, they had already slept together, so what's so strange about eating grilled fish in the same place.

However, this scene took on a different meaning in Huo Chilin's eyes. Seeing the two of them eating so intimately, the grilled fish in his hand almost broke.

After Bai Hansui finished talking to Tong Miaoling, she was about to turn around and ask Huo Chilin how the fish was grilled, but she saw that he was staring at a certain direction with his jawline tense.

Bai Hansui followed his gaze in confusion and saw Shen Lai and Pei Jingyan talking.

Her expression was stiff for a moment, and her fingertips under her sleeves dug into her palms because she was squeezing too hard.

Bai Hansui pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Chilin, is the fish ready?"

Huo Chilin came back to his senses and retracted his gaze. He said in a low voice, "Okay, eat now."

Bai Hansui thought Huo Chilin would feed her, and subconsciously opened her mouth to bite it, but Huo Chilin directly handed her the grilled fish.

Bai Hansui's movements froze in mid-air.

She had wanted to take this opportunity to show her affection, but she didn't expect Huo Chilin to have no intention of cooperating at all.

Perhaps because Bai Hansui didn't respond, Huo Chilin turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Bai Hansui forced a smile and took the grilled fish from Huo Chilin, "It's okay."

[Just now, Bai Hansui wanted Huo Chilin to feed her, right?]

[I saw it too. Bai Hansui opened her mouth wide, but Huo Chilin didn't react at all.]

[This is hilarious! Huo Chilin is too straightforward, isn't he?]

[It's not about being straight, right? Something's been off between them since this show.]

After eating the grilled fish, everyone went back to their tents to rest. As the lights went out, the beach fell into silence.

This was the first time the two of them slept together again since the show was discontinued. Perhaps because they were already numb, Chen Lai didn't feel awkward this time.

Moreover, in such a deserted place, I feel more at ease with Pei Jingyan by my side.

It was so quiet all around that you could even hear the sound of the waves outside.

Chen Lai was staring at the tent ceiling in a daze in the darkness when he suddenly heard Pei Jingyan say, "Are you still awake?"

Shen Lai's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned to look at Pei Jingyan, "Aren't you asleep too?"

Pei Jingyan remained calm and said, "I'm not used to the new environment."

Chen Lai thought about it and it made sense. This was probably the first time Pei Jingyan had slept in a tent in his life.

Shen Lai hesitated and said, "Why did you accompany me to participate in this show? Your family should have believed that we are together, right?"

Pei Jingyan said calmly, "Just think of it as a promotion for the company."

Chen Lai remembered that Pei Jingyan had told him last time that next month would be the day to select the successor. So much time had passed, and he didn't know what the outcome would be.

Shen Lai asked curiously, "By the way, have you got the position of heir?"

Pei Jingyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said slowly: "Not yet."

Shen Lai frowned, "Didn't you say that the position of the heir would be announced next month?"

Pei Jingyan said calmly, "My grandfather said that he will not officially let me accept the position of heir until you give birth to the child."

Shen Lai almost choked.

Doesn’t this mean that Pei Jingyan has to wait another seven months before he can get the position of heir?

Perhaps it was because Shen Lai's reaction was too great, Pei Jingyan glanced at her and asked, "Why? Are you already impatient to divorce me?"

Chen Lai had never thought about it this way. Regardless of whether Pei Jingyan could get the position of heir or not, the two of them would not be able to divorce in the short term.

She whispered, "I'm just worried that you can't wait."

Pei Jingyan looked at her deeply and asked, "What can I not wait for?"

"Aren't you afraid that something unexpected will happen and you won't be able to get the position of heir, and you still have to marry me. You're so unlucky."

Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I never regret the decisions I have made."

Although he knew that Pei Jingyan didn't mean that, Shen Lai was still dazed for a moment.

If that day really comes, Pei Jingyan might not think so.

The atmosphere fell into silence and no one spoke again.

Chen Lai looked at the tent above her head, and her heart suddenly felt a little astringent. She put her hand on her chest and curled up silently.

The next day, everyone was woken up early by the production team. Director Miao held a small loudspeaker and announced the first task of the day.

"This morning's mission is a two-person collaboration. One person will provide directions, while the other wears a blindfold. We'll cross the river in front of us and retrieve rare plant specimens on the other side."

"If the rope breaks or the specimen is destroyed during this period, it will be considered a mission failure."

"The first guest to win will receive a medicine kit specially prepared by the program team!"

[I think all the guests present want this prize. After all, it's very useful on an island.]

[Don't even mention the guests, I want this toolkit.]

[But this mission is a bit dangerous. If you're not careful, something could go wrong.]

[Don't worry, the production team promises to care about the guests' safety more than you do. After all, with two capitalists, Pei Jingyan and Huo Chilin, there, any accidents are no joke.]

After discussion, the last four groups of guests chose the men to go into the water, while the women were responsible for giving directions on the shore.

When Pei Jingyan tied the safety rope and prepared to go into the water, Shen Lai suddenly called him, "Wait a minute."

Pei Jingyan turned around and looked at her.

Shen Lai bit her lip and said, "Be careful and don't slip."

Pei Jingyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I know."

After Chen Lai finished speaking, she realized a little ashamed. She handed the glass bottle containing plant specimens to Pei Jingyan and returned to the shore.

Soon, the four male guests had all tied up their safety ropes. Huo Chilin stood beside Pei Jingyan and said coldly, "Mr. Pei, you'd better pay attention to your safety later. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Pei Jingyan said slowly, "Young Master Huo, if you have the energy, you should take care of yourself. Don't fall down like you did yesterday. That would be really embarrassing."
