First appearance
By the time Han Xiaoyan got down from the swing half-dead, he had almost no strength to talk to Zhu Yan and the others.
After recovering from his shock for a long time, he said, "I tried my best to open my eyes and look around. I didn't hear any sound of running water nearby, only the wind. We must be on the back slope of the mountain. When I swung up, I could see another small mountain and the sea not far away. Looking further ahead, there was a dense jungle some distance away from us. It looked difficult to pass through."
As a director, Han Xiaoyan's description of the surroundings was somewhat comedic, but he was able to replicate almost all of the surrounding scenery and tell Zhu Yan about it.
"Okay." Zhu Yan said, "After you pass this level, you might get a clue. If there's a phone number written on it, call them and ask them to tell us about their mission and the surrounding scenery, and then tell us, okay?"
Han Xiaoyan realized belatedly that he seemed to have been used.
But then Chu Yuan's voice came from Zhu Yan's side. They seemed to know how to control Han Xiaoyan and said, "Han Xiaoyan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Han Xiaoyan was so concerned about his reputation that he was lying on the table answering the phone.
"Then how about we make this deal? You tell us these and I'll help you win." Chu Yuan's soft voice sounded like a spoiled child, but not so sweet that it wouldn't be offensive.
"Okay." Han Xiaoyan agreed almost immediately.
Just be used if you can, as long as you can win.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yuan always felt that Zhu Yan was looking at her with resentful eyes.
"What's the matter?" She looked innocent.
"Just now we promised Fang Zhou and the others a share of the prize, and now Han Xiaoyan has been added to the list."
Zhu Yan didn't care who won or lost. He actually had other thoughts in his mind, but when the words came to his lips, they naturally turned into this.
Chu Yuan sighed and patted his shoulder as if he was looking at a child who had not grown up. "You idiot, I also lied to Han Xiaoyan."
She was quite good at it, and turned Zhu Yan's words back to her, saying that she was stupid.
Sometimes Chu Yuan felt like an old mother, having to worry about these men's strange desire to win.
Don’t worry, I will help you win.
[This is the first time I've seen a liar speak so confidently, hahahahaha. ]
[As expected, variety shows are only fun if they have no rules. Chu Yuan is making me laugh to death.]
[Chu Yuan: How could my disappointing teammate not be on the same wavelength as me?]
Zhu Yan was helpless. He didn't mean that.
He was just wondering when Chu Yuan and Han Xiaoyan became so close, it had only been two or three days.
——
Han Xiaoyan, who was unaware that Zhu Yan had suddenly become hostile to him, barely managed to survive after doing the swing. When he turned around, he saw his teammate Su Yilan who seemed to be still in shock, so he handed him a bottle of water.
Along the way, even though Han Xiaoyan was afraid intentionally or unintentionally, he still took care of Su Yilan very gentlemanly.
He would only let Su Yilan go after he had explored the way carefully.
Su Yilan always felt that Han Xiaoyan was a little bit unpredictable. He would shine in the areas he was good at, and would humbly learn in unfamiliar areas. He was not arrogant at all and was just afraid of him.
He is sincere and gentlemanly, and will protect weak women.
After handing over the water, Han Xiaoyan walked towards the staff to get the clues.
When I opened the box, I found a phone number written on a piece of white paper.
He took it and shared it with Su Yilan.
"Did they call you because they got this clue?" Su Yilan felt much better after drinking some water and asked Han Xiaoyan.
Han Xiaoyan nodded. "It's probably because each group was given a different number. Ours could be Sister Tong Yin's group or Brother Fang Zhou's group."
He sat cross-legged on the ground, analyzing what had just happened. "Brother Zhu Yan called us and we should have gotten a lot of information. Now we want to integrate this information and find a way to win. The single-plank bridge and swings we passed by should all have meaning. Now we can ask the other group what they did."
Su Yilan listened to his analysis as if she had just met him for the first time. She was surprised and asked, "If you can understand all this, why do you choose to help them?"
As Su Yilan said, if Han Xiaoyan got more information, he would be able to analyze it more clearly.
Even with so few clues now, he can still grasp the big trend. As smart as Han Xiaoyan is, why would he choose to help others? Wouldn't it be better for him to get first place?
Han Xiaoyan just laughed it off. "Brother Zhu Yan has Chu Yuan. We can't win. Whether you admit it or not, Chu Yuan's performance so far has proven that she is a person with special abilities. We might as well use these as a bargaining chip to guarantee our second place."
He didn't say anything else, but Su Yilan still felt a little scared.
He actually understands everything, he just pretends to be confused.
He understood the little tricks women used, and he also understood that Su Yilan wanted to defeat Chu Yuan now. He understood all the ways, so he was also using this to warn Su Yilan not to think about dealing with Chu Yuan anymore.
Su Yilan almost forgot that he was Han Xiaoyan, a genius director and Director Han's nephew. How could it be as simple as he appeared?
In fact, Han Xiaoyan did analyze it very clearly. It was probably due to his lazy thinking. He didn't like to show off or compete for the first place. He could see in the past two days that Zhu Yan and Chu Yuan would be very strong if they were put in the same group. Instead of working hard himself, it would be better to take it easy by relying on others.
What's more, he is indeed inferior to those two people in many aspects.
Han Xiaoyan dialed the phone and the person on the other end picked up the call quickly.
"Hello."
Han Xiaoyan and Su Yilan looked at each other. They were from Tong Yin's group.
The phone switched to hands-free mode. Under Su Yilan's gaze, Han Xiaoyan's expression changed. His serious expression just now turned into a secretive one. He said, "Sister Tong Yin, it's me, Han Xiaoyan."
Tong Yin and Qi Yu were also a little surprised when they received the call. They originally thought that the call would be of no use, but they didn't expect that someone actually called.
The two put down their tasks and listened to Han Xiaoyan, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Tong Yin, are you doing a mission?" Han Xiaoyan quickly got to the point and asked.
"Yes." Tong Yin looked up and saw only the drones filming them from above. "How do you know? They also completed the mission?"
"Hey." Han Xiaoyan sighed, speaking at a speed that was somewhat confusing. "Sister Tong Yin, I'm a little urgent and need your help. What tasks did you complete?"
Su Yilan, who was standing by, was shocked by his superb performance, and Han Xiaoyan made a hushing gesture.
"What's wrong with you? We just crossed a flowing water bridge and are now making tree rings." Tong Yin was successfully deceived by Han Xiaoyan.
Flowing water bridge?
Han Xiaoyan frowned, wondering how there could be a flowing water bridge on the flat ground. "Sister Tong Yin, flowing water bridge, did you cross the river?"
"No." Tong Yin complained unconsciously when she spoke of this. "It was a bridge that was built suddenly. We searched around the bridge and found two clue cards. The clue cards told us to make a wreath in the northeast direction."
Han Xiaoyan continued to ask, "What does the clue say? Is it about making wreaths in Northeast China?"
"No, the two cards were labeled Northeast and Garland." Qi Yu took the phone. "We walked northeast and found a pavilion with a tree next to it. It should be the mission point. There were a lot of wooden vines on the table, so we stayed there."
"Oh, okay." Han Xiaoyan replied.
Tong Yin then asked, "What about you? What's so urgent?"
Han Xiaoyan was spouting nonsense. "We were on a mission in the jungle, and the staff told us to call you and ask you what missions you had and give us the props."
Tong Yin's heart was numb from the torture of the flower vine in her hand, and she didn't think much about it when she heard it, "Then be careful."
"Okay." Han Xiaoyan said, "After you finish, pay attention to any clues like notes on the road. There may be a phone number on it. Can you give us the phone number? They asked us to fight one more person to pass the level."
"Sure." Tong Yin didn't take these seriously at all.
After the call ended, the two men started fiddling with the wreath again.
They had just searched all over the bridge with great difficulty, and now they had to deal with this craft again. It was so annoying.
[Oh my god, Tong Yin is so gullible, so naive.]
[Sister Tong Yin, don't be fooled by Han Xiaoyan, that bad guy.]
[These two people making wreaths here are so funny, hahaha. Other groups are looking for clues while they are making wreaths.]
[I feel like I'm on the verge of going berserk at any moment.]
When Han Xiaoyan hung up the phone, Su Yilan asked, "Why did you lie to Sister Tong Yin about what we were doing?"
"You're stupid," Han Xiaoyan said. "If she knew the same thing as we did, she would have snatched second place from us."
"Why would they call us? They could just call and tell us."
Han Xiaoyan shook his head in disapproval. "The last person should be Fang Zhou and Zhao Luoyi. They may not tell the truth to Sister Tong Yin and the others. It's better to give this number to Brother Zhu Yan."
He weighed the phone twice, "Small bridge, pavilion."
Then he chuckled and thought that they might have chosen the wrong task.
"Withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and houses." Zhu Yan extracted the clues he had just heard, "So Tong Yin and Qi Yu's mission was wrong."
"Yes." Han Xiaoyan laughed on the other end of the phone.
He had just called Zhu Yan to report on his conversation with Tong Yin.
Chu Yuan, who was listening at the same time, raised a question, "Can they still find the phone?"
"It should be possible." Zhu Yan explained, "Once they finish making the wreath and find it useless, they will naturally look for other things. If nothing unexpected happens, the clues should be around the pavilion. We just have to wait for news."
After talking with Han Xiaoyan, Zhu Yan hung up the phone and analyzed the known information with Chu Yuan.
"Han Xiaoyan's mission point is on the hillside behind, where there's a dense forest. Tong Yin and Qi Yu's clues point to withered vines, old trees, and crows. Their clues also say northeast, and ours also says northeast. Does that mean we're definitely heading northeast?"
Chu Yuan would unconsciously pout when she was thinking. Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, Zhu Yan pinched her mouth with two fingers.
It was very light. The moment her mouth flattened, she looked like a little duck. She looked up at Zhu Yan, who was still laughing.
Chu Yuan angrily slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"
"Why are you so cute?" Zhu Yan said with a smile.
[Ahhhh what did I hear? Why are you so cute?! !]
[Zhu Yan, you've gone too far! How dare you flirt with a girl?]
[This is so sweet, I'm dying. What's going on with these two?]
[Zhu Yan!! There's something wrong with you!!]
Seeing Chu Yuan blushing, Zhu Yan said, "Are you listening to me carefully?"
"Of course not." Chu Yuan argued for herself, repeating what he had just said. She was panicked and her heart was beating very violently. She wondered if this man took her seriously and even called her cute.
"But I was thinking, based on the clues we have now, can we actually roughly figure out where it is?" Chu Yuan said.
Zhu Yan looked at her profile, his eyes fixed on her, "You tell me."
"Actually, mine is a stupid method." Chu Yuan and Zhu Yan sat on the grass. She was carefree and didn't care about her sitting position. She analyzed, "Look at the sun now. It's about to set. According to Han Xiaoyan, they and Sister Tong Yin have already completed two tasks. We also got the phone after two tasks. So so far, our task should be to find the right direction."
Zhu Yan replied with an "hmm" and asked Chu Yuan to continue.
In fact, Chu Yuan's idea was very simple. They had worked together to overcome difficulties in the morning and had already obtained certain clues. Now in the afternoon they were searching separately. It was not easy to go from one mission point to another, not to mention that there were no guides along the way and they needed to explore according to the existing situation.
