This episode on the isolated island has come to a perfect end. Among the twelve guests, the vast majority had minor scrapes, hand injuries, and bruises, including An Ning herself.
The wound on Anning's neck where she was pricked by the fishbone had scabbed over, and the bright red blood had long since stopped flowing. Apart from looking a bit shocking, there was nothing wrong with her.
At least that's how Anning sees it.
For An Ning, this injury was nothing at all.
But what Anning really cared about wasn't that; it was the prize that Ang Lee had mentioned on the radio earlier.
The group stood in a straight line, with Li An positioned opposite them in the center. Looking at the row of people in front of him, Li An cleared his throat, feeling he needed to explain his earlier behavior.
"Good afternoon, everyone. This episode was originally planned to be recorded over three days, but I didn't expect everyone's skills to exceed my expectations. Due to some oversight in the initial planning, I had to change the game rules midway through the recording. I hope you can understand..."
In summary, the problem stemmed from inadequate planning and the rules being changed midway through the process.
The production team took all the blame upon themselves.
If that's the case, then there's no problem.
After all, that's not what she wants to hear right now.
After waiting for ages without hearing the topic she wanted to hear, An Ning finally gave up and, taking advantage of Li An's pause to drink water, asked, "What is the winner's reward?"
To demonstrate her good manners, An Ning addressed Ang Lee with a respectful title, "Director Lee... what was that prize you mentioned earlier?"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, An Ning originally chose to stand in the very edge of the room, but it was as if the others were picking up money by standing next to her. After one person came from the left, a second person would inevitably come from the right within ten seconds.
In this way, An Ning, who was originally standing on the side, was forced to become the center of this line.
Just as she spoke, she happened to be standing face to face with Li An. Their eyes were not far apart. Looking at An Ning's beautiful amber eyes, Li An was stunned for a moment before turning his head to signal the staff to bring out the items.
This time was very short; Anning only waited a short while before a small box appeared in her hand.
"A small gold ornament weighing twenty grams... Your director prepared a rather valuable prize."
Anze held the prize that Anning had just received in his hand. He held the small trinket between his fingers and examined it closely.
"That's roughly equivalent to ten thousand yuan."
He said this in an exaggerated tone, as if he had never seen so much money in his life.
An Ning dismissed his nonsense, opened a bottle of Coke with one hand and drank it down. "If you like it, take it."
She didn't even glance at Anze when she said this; she spoke casually, as if what she was giving away was just a cabbage that could be bought anytime.
This was the first time An Ning had been so generous in all the days they had spent together. An Ze made no attempt to hide his surprise, and a look of suspicion crossed his face. "You...you gave it to me so decisively...it scares me, like a trap."
"Your reaction just now was like you'd never seen money before. I'm guessing the An family has gone bankrupt."
An Ning took out the remote control and turned on the TV in the living room, randomly selecting a TV series to play, but her eyes were fixed on the phone in her hand.
I don't even know why I turned on the TV.
Seeing that An Ning seemed to be in a good mood, An Ze felt it was time. He hesitated for a moment before squeezing out a question, "What's your relationship with that Fang Qi?"
He removed the trending topic that same day, but Anze was still very concerned about the true relationship between Anning and this person.
Not only was he very concerned, but his two family members were also very concerned.
"That's all there is to it. What kind of relationship do you think it is?"
An Ning's fingertips flew across the screen as she typed quickly, it was unclear whether she was replying to someone's message or doing something important.
But that was too private, so Anze didn't ask. Instead, he persisted in asking the question he wanted to know.
Seeing his persistence, Anning didn't hide anything. She glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "I only met him when I went to that haunted house. What kind of relationship do you think we have?"
It's only been two or three days since then; no matter how fast things develop, it's impossible for them to become that intimate in just two or three days.
Having realized this, Anze gave up questioning the issue and instead asked another person.
"Jiang Yu? You're asking about my relationship with Jiang Yu?"
This question really stumped An Ning. It took her a long time to figure out her current relationship with Jiang Yu, and her answer to An Ze was also unclear.
"In his family's eyes, we should be a couple, and in other people's eyes, we should be friends? In my eyes... I think he is my younger brother."
After all, this was a thought that had been deeply rooted in Anning's heart ever since she met Jiang Yu.
The result was still too hasty.
I didn't manage to become your sworn brother, but we did become friends.
"Your friend... then why would his family think you're his girlfriend?" Hearing An Ning's words, An Ze frowned slightly. "Is it an act?"
He and Anning are not much different in age, so he understands the intricacies of the young people's world quite well.
This wasn't the first time he'd hired someone to pretend to be his girlfriend to fool his parents, so Anze could understand Jiang Yu's behavior... Bullshit!
