Chapter 71 Is there anyone you like?
Huo Chilin frowned, he had no idea that Bai Hansui came to see him.
Before he could speak, Bai Hansui suddenly walked out from the woods behind him.
"Where have you been?" Huo Chilin looked at her.
Bai Hansui stood under the tree, the shadow engulfing half of her face, making it appear dim and bright. Her tone was emotionless, "I'll go get some water."
Huo Chilin looked down at her hand and saw that she was holding a water bottle.
"I heard from Miss Tong that you came to see me just now?"
Bai Hansui unconsciously tightened her grip on the handle of the water bottle, her smile impeccable. "Well, I was planning to go look for you, and I happened to see a water source, so I brought some back."
Huo Chilin didn't think too much about it and said perfunctorily: "Well, you are not feeling well, don't be too tired."
If it were before, Bai Hansui would have been extremely happy to see that he cared about her so much, but this time she couldn't smile.
She looked deeply in the direction of Chen Lai, and the words she heard Huo Chilin say to Chen Lai emerged in her mind, and her fingertips dug deep into the flesh.
After lunch, everyone headed to the next mission point.
Because of what Huo Chilin said just now, Shen Lai was absent-minded the whole way, and even Wu Qi noticed it.
"What's wrong with you? You look so bad." Wu Qi came close to Shen Lai and asked with concern.
Shen Lai hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of Pei Jingyan towards me?"
"Boss Pei?" Wu Qi paused, then said without hesitation, "That's great! I've never seen a man who cares so much about his wife."
She was not complimenting Pei Jingyan. Everyone had witnessed Pei Jingyan's performance on the show during this period. Even Huo Chilin and Bai Hansui, who were famous for being a loving couple, were not as good as them.
Shen Lai was silent for a moment, "What if he was pretending?"
Wu Qi thought the two had quarreled and said with a smile: "Of course not, subconscious reactions can't deceive people."
Shen Lai paused, "A subconscious reaction?"
Wu Qi nodded, "This kind of thing is the best way to express one's current thoughts. Even actors can't act it out, let alone ordinary people."
Shen Lai's mind was even more confused. Even Wu Qi said so. Could it be that Pei Jingyan really had liked her for a long time?
This fact was even harder for her to believe than the Shen family's bankruptcy.
Chen Lai looked up at Pei Jingyan who was walking in front of him. He was talking to Yan Rui with his hands in his pockets, still with that unrestrained attitude.
The waves in Shen Lai's heart became more violent.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone finally arrived at the next mission point.
Director Miao appeared from nowhere again.
"Our mission this time is called the Viper Zone Purification Challenge."
"Everyone must clean up medical waste in the marked snake habitat. Mechanical snakes will appear during this time. If you successfully clean up all the waste without being discovered by the mechanical snakes, you win. Otherwise, you lose."
"The winning guests will receive exclusive seats specially prepared by the program team and return to the camp, while the losing guests will have to walk."
"So whether you take a car or walk back tonight depends on your ability!"
The production team is really cunning. Prizes like these, which the guests wouldn't even glance at in other variety shows, have become popular here.
[Director Miao is quite clever, using minimal cost to create the biggest spectacle.]
[Forget about being a guest, I'd also like this reward if I were to leave for a day.]
[Honestly, even if Shen Lai loses, she should still sit down. She is pregnant.]
What's wrong with being pregnant? If pregnant women could break the rules, everyone would just say they were pregnant.
[Stop being so aggressive, haters! Shen Lai never used her pregnancy status to get special treatment from the production team. Stop putting all the blame on her.]
The four teams of guests divided the east, south, west and north areas respectively, without interfering with each other. With a shout of "start", the game officially began.
Chen Lai and Pei Jingyan were assigned to the East District, which was overgrown with weeds. If they hadn't known that the program crew had set up the scenery in advance, they would have thought it was a real poisonous snake area.
Seeing Shen Lai bending over to pick up medical waste, Pei Jingyan suddenly said, "You go sit down, I'll pick it up."
"I've been working like a slave for the past six months. Mr. Pei, please don't love me too much."
[Boss Pei has plenty of strength and means, so just let Shen Lai go.]
[How could I possibly deserve to see such a domineering CEO work for me? Director Miao is truly a kind person!]
Shen Lai didn't want people to think that she was taking advantage of her status as a pregnant woman to get special treatment, so she looked up and said, "I'm fine. It's only been three months. It won't affect me."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you just say you were tired?"
Shen Lai covered his lips and coughed lightly, "I've rested well and I'm not tired anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stick in his hand was taken away by Pei Jingyan. Shen Lai sighed, "You!"
Pei Jingyan interrupted her, "Go and help me keep an eye on the snake."
Seeing that Chen Lai was still stunned, Pei Jingyan raised his voice, "Do you want the two of you to work together and then be bitten to death by a snake?"
Only then did Shen Lai remember that there was a mechanical poisonous snake prepared by the program crew. She didn't insist anymore, said "oh", and obediently found a dead tree to sit down.
Looking at Pei Jingyan's busy figure, Shen Lai couldn't help but think of what Huo Chilin had just said.
She looked around and saw that the camera was filming other groups. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Pei Jingyan, do you have someone you like?"
The clamp in his hand suddenly stopped, and the grass was pulled up and shook.
After a moment, Pei Jingyan resumed his movements and said without turning his head, "Of course not."
Hearing this answer, Shen Lai couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.
Just then, Shen Lai heard a noise beside her. She turned her head and saw a mechanical poisonous snake moving towards her.
She was startled and quickly reminded Pei Jingyan: "There's a snake!"
Pei Jingyan glanced over calmly, without any excessive reaction, and stood still.
The mechanical venomous snake stayed for a while, and seeing that there was no movement around, it twisted its tail and left.
Shen Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the snakes in the program team were easy to fool and left so easily.
After a while, more mechanical poisonous snakes appeared one after another. As long as they could not detect any sound, they would leave and would not reappear until after a while.
In a blink of an eye, most of the medical waste around had been cleared.
Chen Lai felt embarrassed to just sit there, so she helped pick up the trash nearby. She seemed to hear vaguely some rustling sounds coming from the grass, which seemed unusually obvious in the silent surroundings.
Shen Lai looked up and saw a silver ring snake coming towards him.
This snake is quite realistic.
It looks like the real thing from a distance.
Shen Lai subconsciously stopped her movements, intending to wait until the mechanical snake could no longer detect any sound and then leave. However, when the snake approached, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
The scales of this coral snake model are sweating.
It's actually alive!
Realizing this, Shen Lai broke out in a cold sweat. She instinctively wanted to step back, but it was too late. The silver ring snake had quickly climbed up her wrist, and Xinzi almost licked her skin.
"Don't move!" Pei Jingyan's voice exploded from one meter away. His deep black eyes stared at the direction of Shen Lai, and the veins in his temples twitched slightly.
