Chapter 41: Did you think of me when you were abroad...
With the help of the lifeguards, the two quickly swam to the shore. Shang Que threw Ji Jingchuan onto the reef and walked aside, rubbing his sore arm.
Lin Jinyi was terrified: "I was so scared. Shang Que, you agreed to show up every two minutes, but when I looked at the watch, you still hadn't come up. I thought something had happened to you."
"It's okay. I know the time. I just found a reef down there that's super rich in resources, and I wanted to get more seafood at once." Shang Que finished explaining and poured a few abalone and anemones from his pocket. "But a lot fell down just now, so these are all I have left."
Speaking of this, Lin Jinyi turned back to look at Ji Jingchuan who was being examined in a bad mood: "By the way, and you, why did you jump in if you can't swim? If someone didn't know, they would think you were going to commit suicide with Shang Que."
"Who told them not to go down and rescue people? Instead, they waited and watched. What's there to wait and watch?" Ji Jingchuan said shockingly, "What's wrong with me jumping? If Shang Que dies, I won't live either."
[Oh my god, is this something I can say in front of the camera?]
Ji Jingchuan and Shang Que's relationship is a bit too close, isn't he an idol on the rise? Can fans accept him openly dating on a variety show?
[Hahaha, it doesn't matter if the fans brainwash themselves. Even if there has been no achievements for so long, they can still open their eyes and say that their brothers are focusing on their careers and not dating.]
[He just won the Best Composition Award at an international music festival last month. How can you call that unsuccessful? Since you care so much about Ji Jingchuan, you must know he's about to release a new album. Remember to buy it when he does! ^^]
[Just focus on yourselves and stop worrying about what our fans think. Ji Jingchuan said he won't be in a relationship, and if he were, he wouldn't hide it. Fans trust him, so there's no need for others to worry about us.]
[Actually, I think Ji Jingchuan's calm demeanor doesn't seem like they're in a relationship. Just like when I was feeling down before, my sister hugged me and cried, saying she didn't want to live if I died.]
First of all, Ji Jingchuan isn't a love-brained person and wouldn't commit suicide for love. Secondly, I think friendship and family ties are more likely to make people willing to die for each other than for love.
[Master, I've finally figured it out. No wonder I can't get enough of their relationship. Ji Jingchuan actually has a lot of sexual energy on stage, but he acts like a real brother to Shang Que.]
While the barrage was arguing, Shang Que walked over and slapped Ji Jingchuan on the head.
"Shut up and don't curse me. Even if the sky falls, I won't die." She paused and said seriously, "You won't die either."
"Oh." Ji Jingchuan covered his head with his hands and responded muffledly.
This time, by chance, Shang Que was swimming upstream when he jumped. Seeing a dark object falling down on his head, Shang Que thought that the program crew was afraid that they would not complete the task and secretly threw a big fish into the sea. He swam over quickly and picked him up.
As a result, Ji Jingchuan didn't choke on much water, and his time was even shorter than when he fell into the lake during a previous rowing competition. After checking, the staff let the group leave with peace of mind. Lin Jinyi returned to the beach with the spoils in the bucket to reunite with the others, while Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan went to the production team's camp to shower and change into dry clothes.
When they returned to the tent, Jiang Yize and Lu Zhixu had already lit the bonfire. The wind on the island was a bit strong, bringing a chill. Ning Sheng raised her hand and beckoned them, "Come over and warm yourself by the fire, don't catch a cold."
Jiang Yize moved aside to make room for two more people. "Yes, come on, the sea water must be very cold."
Apparently, Lin Jinyi had already told them what had just happened. Shang Que walked over and sat on the ground, looking around: "Where's Lu Zhixu?"
"He went to deal with the seafood you caught," Jiang Yize admired sincerely, "and
There are abalones, Sister Shang Que, you are so awesome! "
Ji Jingchuan: "What about me?"
"You—" Jiang Yizhe couldn't say anything against his will, and all he could say was: "Harm."
【Hahahahaha.】
You're not even willing to lie to him.
Our little Jimao is an honest child and would never do anything deceitful.
Ji Jingchuan had just asked casually, but when he saw his reaction, he immediately became dissatisfied: "What do you mean? I looked handsome when I jumped down to save people, didn't I?"
"Yeah, yeah, he was very handsome at the time," Lin Jinyi mercilessly exposed him, "but unfortunately, his handsomeness didn't last for three seconds. After he jumped in, he struggled desperately in the water like a big black rat."
The crackling bonfire, accompanied by the childish bickering beside them, made Shang Que feel a little sleepy. Lu Zhixu quickly prepared the ingredients and returned. Shang Que had caught some seafood, Ning Sheng had picked some mushrooms, and they used the ingredients on hand to make a delicious mushroom soup and seafood hotpot.
Shortly after lunch, the second round of tasks was sent to everyone's phones. Except for Ning Sheng and Lin Jinyi, who were going to the same place, everyone else had a separate task.
There was still some time before the first round of meetings, so everyone hadn't gathered yet, and they were moving from one task to another. Shang Que hadn't run into anyone else along the way, and when he was done with the seashell-collecting task, Lu Zhixu suddenly came over.
"Shang Que, I have some news to tell you." He stated his purpose directly, "I just checked Lin Jinyi. She's not from the good group. I don't know if she's an undercover agent."
"She is a forecaster." Shang Que didn't seem surprised.
Lu Zhixu was stunned: "How do you know?"
"Because I'm an undercover agent, then she can only be an independent guest."
Lu Zhixu obviously didn't believe it: "Stop lying, you are not an undercover."
"Aren't you lying to me too?" Shang Que analyzed, "Ning Sheng should be the detective. She identified Lin Jinyi and then told you, letting you pretend to be a detective. Is she afraid that the deduction expert is just one identity away from victory?"
How did Shang Que know this? She never met Ning Sheng and Lu Zhixu during her mission. She probably didn't hear them plotting.
[My blind guess is that Ning Sheng had interrogated her when she and Lin Jinyi first went together. If it were detectives Jiang Yize and Ji Jingchuan, they would have chosen to tell Shang Que the news, but Ning Sheng trusted Lu Zhixu more.]
"Tell me, are you trying to trick me into thinking I'm a sleight of hand?" Shang Que saw through his thoughts. "I'm not. My identity is meaningless."
Lu Zhixu thought about it and reminded before leaving: "The undercover agent should be Ji Jingchuan or Jiang Yize. Be careful of them when you are on the mission."
Soon, the first round of meetings began at three o'clock. The five people sat around the campfire. Lu Zhixu was nowhere to be seen, and his profile picture on the phone dimmed, symbolizing that he was eliminated.
"Who dropped the sheriff's knife? I just found out that he is from the Good Guys Group." Shang Que spoke without hesitation.
Ning Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then continued: "Don't reveal your identity in the meeting. Be wary of the deduction experts."
At this moment, the real deductionist Lin Jinyi's mind was spinning rapidly. The first person to die was most likely the wizard. Perhaps before the undercover agent wanted to kill someone else, he received the news and chose to die in his place.
Shang Que likes to mix lies with the truth. The fact that she's a detective is definitely false, but Lu Zhixu must have exchanged identities with her. If she's not a wizard, then she must be the sheriff.
After noting down these two pieces of information, Lin Jinyi reported the route of his mission. The others were basically acting alone. The island was large and the mission locations were scattered, so it was difficult to know what was happening in other places.
This round of meetings did not yield any information, and no one was voted out.
There was no need to send the strategist out early on; keeping her would reduce the chances of the good guys being targeted by the undercover agent. Besides, Lin Jinyi had probably already wasted her chance to guess who she was, so the threat wasn't significant.
After the end, everyone dispersed again. Lin Jinyi took out her cell phone and entered Lu Zhixu's wizard identity first. Sure enough, the result was correct.
Looking at the words on the screen, Lin Jinyi raised her eyebrows with joy.
Only one left.
She confidently entered Shang Que and chose the corresponding identity "Sheriff".
【If you guess wrong, you have one more chance. 】
How could it be wrong?
Lin Jinyi stamped her feet. Damn Shang Que, he wasted her chance again!
Could it really be a detective? She frowned and thought, and just as she was about to type, she stopped: "No, once, twice, but not three times."
"What's one, two, three?" Jiang Yize's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Lin Jinyi paused, then stood up: "Nothing, I'm going to do the mission."
*
At five o'clock, Lin Jinyi still hadn't shown up, so Ning Sheng filmed the second meeting as a detective, and sure enough, there were only four of them left on the scene.
But no one was eliminated in this round, because once the good guy was eliminated due to the wrong vote, the undercover could win directly with just one move.
Ning Sheng originally wanted to wait and see when the next reduction in personnel took place, but until the eight o'clock meeting, all four of them were still alive.
"Have you received any news about the politician's death?" Ning Sheng added, "Type the answer on your phone."
All three people answered no. When discussing the route, Jiang Yize said, "After the first round of meetings, I ran into Lin Jinyi. She said she was going to collect shells. I think she was heading to the beach."
"I was over there and didn't see her coming." Ji Jingchuan frowned.
Jiang Yize uttered an "Ah": "Then I don't know. Isn't it only possible to kill people during missions?"
The focus of this round was on Jiang Yizhe and Ji Jingchuan, but both of them received two votes, so no one was eliminated in this round of meetings.
There is still half an hour before "sleeping time". During this period, the undercover agent can designate two people to issue tasks and let them leave the camp.
The ones who received the task were Jiang Yize and Ning Sheng. After they left, only Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan were left in front of the campfire.
The night wind blew, and the flames danced. Ji Jingchuan asked directly, "Shang Que, you didn't throw it at me just now, did you?"
"Are you undercover?"
"Of course not," Ji Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, deliberately trying to scare her: "But if you doubt me, I can become an undercover agent and kill you with a knife."
"Just kill me." Shang Que lay down on the ground tiredly. "Lin Jinyi just sent me a message saying that after they were eliminated, they went on a cruise ship to enjoy a feast. If they had known I would be the first to die, who would have worked so hard to pick up shells for an entire afternoon?"
She voted for Jiang Yize at the meeting. If she was still a little confused at the time, now she is completely sure that Jiang Yize is an undercover agent.
The live broadcast has ended. The fixed cameras in the camp will only be turned on during the "sleeping" period to record the scene when the undercover agent eliminates the last person, and show it to everyone when the results are announced tomorrow.
But when Jiang Yize and Ning Sheng went out, Shang Que saw a photographer following them stealthily.
The night is clear, the starry sky is clearly visible, and the light from the moon shines on the sea, looking like an endless silver ribbon from afar.
Ji Jingchuan put his hands behind his head and lay down as well. The sound of waves hitting the rocks came closer and farther. He suddenly turned his head, looked at Shang Que beside him, then looked up at the night sky again, and said softly, "Shang Que, it's been a long time since we've looked at the night sky together like this."
"Yeah." Shang Que raised his hands and pointed to the sky to make a photo frame. "I once went camping at the beach abroad and saw an especially big moon. It was just like the moon we saw during the summer vacation when we were kids staying at my grandmother's house."
Ji Jingchuan pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Did you think of me when you were abroad?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. After about two seconds of silence, Shang Que said, "I've thought about it."
"Then why didn't you call me?" These two words seemed to open the floodgates in Ji Jingchuan's heart, and all the grievances, complaints, and longings poured out. His eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and he stubbornly wanted an answer: "Shang Que, you said you would call me when you left, why didn't you call me once?"
