Chapter 72 Do I Look Injured?
[Holy crap! What the hell?! How did a real snake sneak in?!]
[Is the production team crazy? Are they doing this just for ratings?]
[It shouldn't be the production team's doing. How could they dare to risk human lives?]
[I have goosebumps, help! ! ]
[Is Chen Lai okay? She's still pregnant! ! ! ]
At this moment, someone noticed the movement here, and someone in the crowd screamed, "There's a snake!"
Huo Chilin was cleaning up medical waste when he suddenly heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that everyone looked terrified, as if they had seen something terrible.
Huo Chilin followed their gaze and saw Shen Lai standing under a tree. A silver ring snake was climbing up her arm.
Huo Chilin's face changed. He subconsciously dropped what he was holding and tried to go over, but suddenly a hand grabbed his sleeve. "Chilin!"
Huo Chilin was forced to stop. He turned around and looked at Bai Hansui. Bai Hansui shook her head gently at him, with pleading eyes, "Don't go over there. There are cameras here."
Huo Chilin hesitated for a moment, and Bai Hansui took advantage of the situation and said, "Besides, President Pei is there, so even if he wants to help, you don't need to step in."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as Pei Jingyan was mentioned, Huo Chilin's expression suddenly turned ugly. He turned his head to look at Shen Lai. In such a short time, the snake had already wrapped around her slender arm.
Huo Chilin gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we're just ordinary friends, I can't just turn a blind eye when I see him in trouble."
After saying that, he shook off Bai Hansui's hand and ran quickly towards Shen Lai.
Bai Hansui was pushed and staggered, almost falling. She looked up at Huo Chilin's nervous and anxious back, and a strong resentment flashed in her eyes.
Why?
She is obviously Huo Chilin's girlfriend, why does Huo Chilin only have eyes for Shen Lai!
At this time, Shen Lai's whole body was stiff and she stood there not daring to move. She watched the silver ring snake in her hand crawl along her arm and onto her shoulder.
The coral snake hissed as it spit out its tongue, and the icy temperature passed through its scales to the skin.
Chen Lai's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings in a storm. She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Jingyan not far away. Pei Jingyan was also looking at her, his jaw line tense as a string.
"Chen Lai, don't move." Pei Jingyan's low voice was calm and steady, as if it could soothe people's hearts.
Shen Lai swallowed and nodded slightly.
Pei Jingyan approached slowly. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of wind blowing through leaves could be heard. No one dared to breathe, for fear that the snake would suddenly go crazy and bite Shen Lai.
Pei Jingyan was getting closer and closer. When he was only a few steps away from Shen Lai, the snake on Shen Lai's collarbone seemed to sense some danger. Its pupils suddenly shrank and it hissed.
Then the audience in the live broadcast room saw the silver ring snake show its fangs and a cold light flashed by.
The next second, the silver ring snake pounced towards Shen Lai's neck.
It's over.
This was the only thought in Shen Lai's mind at that moment.
She instantly tensed her body, closed her eyes tightly, and prepared herself to be bitten.
At the critical moment, the camera captured a black shadow flashing by.
Time passed little by little, and the pain that Shen Lai expected did not happen. She opened her eyes carefully, only to see Pei Jingyan coming in front of her at some point. He pinched the snake's vital point with his bare hands, and the veins on his right hand bulged.
Shen Lai's eyes suddenly widened.
Huo Chilin, who had just arrived not far away, suddenly stopped and clenched his fists unwillingly.
Pei Jingyan actually caught a poisonous snake with his bare hands for Chen Lai?
Pei Jingyan stepped on the silver ring snake with ease, then picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it down hard.
The blood splattered on Pei Jingyan's cheek, adding a strange and weird look in the sunlight.
【???? Shit, he was just crushed to death like that???】
[Catching a poisonous snake with your bare hands? Mr. Pei, you're too strong, aren't you? I wouldn't dare to catch a non-venomous snake like this!]
If you accidentally bite it, you might die. How much love do you have to have to dare to catch it?
【Snake: Peanuts for me! 】
[Don't let it happen again. Who made you so unlucky to run into this couple? Don't you know that their couple name is "Nervous Couple"? ]
Chen Lai just stared at Pei Jingyan in a daze, and for a moment he forgot how to react.
You should know that the coral reef snake is extremely poisonous and can kill you if you are not careful.
But Pei Jingyan actually rushed over and caught it for her.
At this time, Director Miao and other staff members hurried over and asked quickly: "Miss Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Lai came back to his senses and shook his head, "No."
Miao Dao then asked Pei Jingyan, "Mr. Pei, how are you? Are you not hurt?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan in front of him with a complicated expression.
Pei Jingyan's expression was indifferent. He moved the sole of his shoe away, and the dead body of the coral snake lay quietly at his feet. "Do I look injured to you?"
Director Miao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Fortunately, Chen Lai and Pei Jingyan were fine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay the compensation even if he and the program were sold together.
Director Miao explained: "We clearly checked it when we were setting up the set. I don't know how a real snake got in."
Pei Jingyan sneered, his meaning unclear. Director Miao wiped the sweat off his face. "Of course, this is our mistake. To make up for the shock you and Miss Shen received, we plan to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you as a small token of our respect."
Pei Jingyan didn't say whether it was good or bad. He looked at Chen Lai. She was still in a daze because of what happened just now. She seemed absent-minded and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Because the sudden appearance of a real snake interrupted the mission, this game had to be canceled and all guests could take the bus back to the camp.
Just as Shen Lai was about to get in the car, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Shen Lai."
Shen Lai paused in getting into the car, turned around and saw Huo Chilin standing behind her.
Huo Chilin said in a low voice, with a hint of concern in his voice, "Are you okay?"
[? ? No, what is this guy doing? ?]
[Let's be honest, it's normal for someone to care about their ex-girlfriend, right?]
[It would be normal if the two of them broke up peacefully, but Huo Chilin doesn't fall into that category, right?]
[That's right, didn't you deny the connection before and say you didn't know me? Why are you actively approaching me now?]
[Cheating scumbag, stay away from my Chen Lai! ! ]
Shen Lai frowned and said coldly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Huo."
Hearing Shen Lai's distant tone, Huo Chilin pursed his lips into a line, "I was originally planning to go over and save you, but Pei Jingyan got there first."
Shen Lai pretended to be calm and said, "He is my husband. He will take care of me if anything happens. There is no need for Mr. Huo to step in."
When Huo Chilin heard the word "husband", his knuckles turned white.
He could tell that Shen Lai was deliberately distancing himself from him.
Shen Lai didn't even give him a look and got into the car.
Pei Jingyan was already sitting in the back row. Shen Lai hesitated for a moment and walked over to sit next to him.
Pei Jingyan was cleaning the snake blood on his tie. When he heard the noise, he looked up at Chen Lai.
Shen Lai pursed his lips and couldn't help but say: "Why did you rush over to save me just now?"
