Chapter 271 Lin Yan reveals his true face
Because she was going to Country M, she had actually read a lot of information. She had seen this plant in a plant atlas. The juice of this "strangler vine" can accelerate skin ulceration.
She was not sure whether Lin Yan knew the problem.
After all, when rescuing people just now, Lin Yan was very anxious and the bravest.
But I don’t know what’s going on.
She kept thinking about the time she fell into the water.
Lin Yan was also the first to help.
Is it really such a coincidence?
A rainstorm suddenly hit in the afternoon. The dense rain curtain forced everyone to take shelter under the rocks. Suddenly, Misaki, a contestant from Country L, pointed at the rock wall and exclaimed.
A poisonous spider as big as a fist was crawling along the slippery stone wall towards her backpack, its fur gleaming bluish-gray in the lightning.
Lin Yan took out a small glass bottle from his canvas bag, poured out some light yellow powder and sprinkled it on the spider web: "Cinnamon powder, ground from the dead tree bark I picked up near the camp yesterday."
His movements were so smooth, as if he had known this would happen.
Everyone was very grateful to Lin Yan.
The two people he saved wanted to worship him as a god.
Only Shen Hanxing silently moved a little further away from him.
One is a coincidence, but three is not necessarily a coincidence.
Lin An asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Shen find any problems?"
Shen Hanxing nodded gently.
He looked at Lin Yan.
Lin An also narrowed his eyes.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you unless I die!"
Shen Hanxing quickly patted him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin An smiled embarrassedly.
"My current mission is to protect you. If I fail to do so, Mr. Qi will tear me apart."
Shen Hanxing held her cheek and smiled, "Is Mr. Qi so fierce?"
Lin An thought for a moment and said, "It depends on where it is."
Chen Hanxing: “???”
Lin An suddenly laughed.
"In front of Mr. Shen, Mr. Qi would be more down-to-earth and gentle."
Shen Hanxing was stunned.
"He wasn't like this before?"
Lin An looked at her, who seemed to be unaware of the blessings she had, and didn't know what to say.
"In short, Mr. Qi treats you differently."
Shen Hanxing’s chest swelled slightly, and his ears turned slightly red.
"Maybe, maybe you're overthinking it. Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to camp first. We can go back tomorrow. Who knows what might happen tonight."
…
While camping that night, Lin Yan sat by the campfire and treated his palm, which had been scratched by vines during the day. The iodine cotton ball spread a light brown color on the wound.
Chen Hanxing handed over the bandage, but paused when it touched his wrist - there was a silver bracelet wrapped there, and the pendant was half a gear.
He flicked his wrist, and the firelight gilded the edges of the gears. "The designer must have studied the fusion of mechanical aesthetics and natural patterns."
If Chen Hanxing didn't know much about this, he might really be fooled.
At the beginning, when she was with Fu Jingheng.
Fu is actually also trying to find a way to enter the jewelry industry.
To this end, she worked almost non-stop to search for information and find ways to do better.
She had only seen this kind of bracelet in a museum.
It is a royal burial object.
The thing in Lin Yan's hand, whether it is a replica or the real thing, makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
What’s even more coincidental is that he cleverly avoided the several “dangerous areas” he passed today by using excuses such as “taking the wrong road” and “looking at the scenery”.
These places are exactly the "possible test question clue areas" marked on the map.
Lin An was squatting ten meters away, sorting his satellite phone, and suddenly looked up and winked at her.
This is the code word set by Qi Moxun, which means "discovering abnormality."
She found an excuse and hurried over.
Only then did he see Lin An holding a piece of paper between his fingers, on which was the simple route map that Lin Yan had drawn during the day.
Next to signs such as "waterfall" and "dead tree hole", "structural symmetry" and "light and shadow refraction" are marked in very small letters - these are the core test points of "natural and architectural aesthetics" in the design competition.
"Lin An, I always have a feeling."
"He seemed to be calculating every person who entered the competition."
Lin An looked at the surrounding environment.
"Boss Qi said, rest assured, you will be absolutely safe. As for other people, Boss Qi suggested that you should not get involved in other people's karma."
Shen Hanxing also understood the meaning of this.
She wasn't familiar with them anyway.
What if they are just cooperating with each other and deliberately creating these problems?
If she meddled, she might get caught up in a dispute and not be able to participate in the competition at all.
So for her, she is still the first in the competition.
Lin An continued to explain.
"Boss Qi is helping you investigate, and there will be news soon."
Shen Hanxing nodded.
"Let's be careful and don't let Lin Yan find out."
Lin An sneered.
"It's okay even if he finds out. He doesn't dare to do anything rash."
Chen Hanxing: “…”
That’s right, Lin An is not an ordinary person.
Late at night, Shen Hanxing looked at the exam prompt card issued by the organizer in the moonlight, thinking about how to break through.
As I was thinking, I was about to look through my sketchbook, but I found that the notebook was missing.
She immediately left the tent to look for it.
I must have accidentally lost it when I was setting up the tent just now.
But as soon as he opened the tent, he saw Lin Yan standing in the shadow of the tent.
The man held the sketchbook she had forgotten, and the page he turned to was the one depicting the strangler vine he had encountered today.
——And his fingertips were lingering on the note she had unconsciously marked: "Can be converted into a load-bearing structure for a building."
Seeing her come out, Lin Yan gave her a standard smile.
"I actually want to ask you for advice. Do you have time?"
Shen Hanxing looked at the sketchbook in his hand, “This is mine.”
Lin Yan handed it over immediately.
“Miss Shen is interested in plant mechanics?”
His tone was still gentle, but with a hint of inquiry.
"When I was in Huaxia Country, I saw a similar design concept. He was a very famous university professor."
Shen Hanxing maintained a polite smile.
"I just drew randomly. I don't even know what you mean."
Dewdrops fell from the tips of the palm leaves, hitting Shen Hanxing's neck and making it feel cold.
It also made her suddenly wake up and remember all these coincidences.
She finally understood why his rescue actions always had the precision of a stage play.
In fact, aren’t those seemingly well-intentioned outreaches paving the way for a bigger “design”?
She shuddered at her own thought.
If that's true, it's terrible.
"I've returned the notebook to you. I'll be leaving now."
Lin Yan felt the awkward atmosphere, so he smiled, turned around and left.
Shen Hanxing put on gloves before daring to flip through the sketchbook.
Only after finding that Lin Yan had not done anything wrong did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The bonfire flickered in the wind, and in the distance came the sound of electricity from Lin An debugging the satellite phone.
Shen Hanxing touched the map, his fingertips running over the "viewing platform" he had circled in red.
There you can see the twin waterfalls in the deepest part of the rainforest, and the angle at which the water hits the rocks forms the golden ratio.
