Chapter 66
"Brother He, where did you get the wound medicine?"
"I just asked the production team for it," He Zhiqian said directly.
He Zhiqian sat on one side of the sofa, while Ying Ning sat on the other side, her taut legs flexed and her feet resting on the edge of the sofa.
With her long neck and flowing black hair, she bent down, and her hair, like a thread, brushed against the back of his hand, quite tenderly.
Yingning unscrewed the wound medicine; it was a tiny tube, and it looked like it wouldn't last more than a few days.
The minty scent, mixed with a hidden musky aroma, was gently rubbed onto the wound.
Sure enough, the pain in my calf was temporarily relieved as soon as the cool ointment came into contact with my skin.
He lowered his head, preparing to rub the ointment into his skin.
"hiss..."
There was a bruise, and it really hurts a bit when I rub it now.
"Let's wipe it off tomorrow." She pulled her leg back, looking like it was really in pain.
“No.” He Zhiqian squatted down instead.
"Give me."
He Zhiqian unscrewed the bottle of medicine again and scooped out a little medicine with his finger.
His gaze was extremely devout, as if he were restoring some precious treasure.
He couldn't figure out what was missing about her, perhaps...
It was her own longing to smooth over that bloodstain and be able to see that day again, as flawless and pure as the moonlight on a ephemeral night.
That's what he told himself.
A soft, painful gasp came from above him.
"Brother He..."
"I'll do it myself..."
She tried to pull her leg back, but He Zhiqian, standing beside the sofa, could no longer conceal the deep, controlling desire in his eyes. He wouldn't let her succeed and instead gripped her even tighter.
He carefully wiped away her bruises, bit by bit.
While applying the medicine, his clean and neat fingertips inadvertently left a mark on her delicate skin.
......
After a long while, He Zhiqian turned his back to the door and prepared to go to his room on the third floor.
The person behind the door spoke, addressing his retreating figure:
"Thank you for today." Her voice sounded tired.
He Zhiqian turned around and looked at Ying Ning again, only to see that the beauty mark at the corner of her eye burning hot as she said to him:
Get some rest early, goodnight.
He was shrouded in darkness, and his face was not visible.
"good evening."
The door slowly closed in front of him, obscuring that gleaming white.
The light in the room once again escaped him, and through the darkness, the nascent love was shrouded in darkness.
He Zhiqian turned around and went upstairs.
......
After seeing He Zhiqian off, Yingning picked up her phone and saw a notification:
The other party has accepted the friend request.
She opened the chat window and sent a message.

The next day, when Yingning woke up, she glanced at her leg and saw that the bruises had largely healed.
When Yingning came downstairs, Lu Yuzhou was still sitting on the sofa playing games.
His hair was slightly curled at the ends, obscuring many fragments of light brown light.
"Good morning," Yingning said.
"Good morning." Lu Yuzhou immediately put his phone away, stood up, and walked to her side: "Shall I make breakfast?"
He walked to the refrigerator and opened the top cabinet door.
"Hmm, what should we do?"
"The sweet and sour pork yesterday was delicious," the person behind me suddenly said.
Lu Yuzhou paused, remembering the message she had sent him last night:
Please cook dinner tonight, the sweet and sour pork was delicious.
[My turn to cook tomorrow. What's something you like to eat?]
......
Lu Yuzhou's dazzling hair, hidden beneath its curls, seemed to conceal a sea of stars, and he inexplicably uttered a remark:
"Actually, I can eat anything."
Yingning immediately understood what he meant; he was answering yesterday's question.
Lu Yuzhou was holding a vegetable when he turned around and caught her looking at him. He immediately lowered his eyelids.
"I...I'm going to make a salad now."
He immediately rushed into the kitchen.
The two weren't close, and the refrigerator door was blocking the view, so the camera didn't capture his strange behavior.
*
"The Mystery of Love" airs one episode per week, usually featuring two days' worth of footage shot by the guests. After tonight's episode, the six guests can choose to temporarily leave the cabin.
They returned to the cabin for their "date" the following weekend.
After the group finished eating, the production team gave the six guests their task cards for the day.
The letter on the envelope read: "The Journey of Adventure".
All male guests are requested to arrive at the adventure location in their respective private vehicles after 10:00 PM. Upon disembarking, you will meet your "dating female guest" for the day and complete the couple's task together.
*
After the male guests got out of the car, they saw the tent not far away.
Just then, a loudspeaker blared:
"Welcome all male guests to the mission location. Now, please have the three male guests draw a mission card from the mailbox. After completing the mission, you can immediately go to the small house in front to choose a female guest for a date."
If the female guest refuses, the program team will randomly pair up the guests who did not successfully find a match.
Three couples set off to find a treasure hidden in the mountains by the production team. The first couple to find it will get the best ingredients for tonight's picnic.
Upon hearing the program's explanation, Shen Yan hurriedly walked to the task box at the tent.
"You're not going to assign me a really difficult task, are you?"
As they were talking, he took out a task card, opened it, and read:
[The male guest is asked to do 45 push-ups within one minute.]
45 times?!
Shen Yan's face darkened immediately. If he had that kind of stamina, why would he participate in a dating reality show?!
He immediately packed his bags and went to participate in the survival reality show on the deserted island next door!
"Wasn't this intentional?" Shen Yan asked the program crew member.
A slender figure swept past him, also taking out a card from the mission box. After a quick glance, the figure fluently recited a tongue twister.
Shen Yan glanced at Lu Yuzhou.
"Yu Zhou, what's yours? Let me see." Shen Yan picked up Lu Yu Zhou's card.
[Please recite the following tongue twister within one minute.]
Shen Yan looked down and saw that it was the tongue twister that Lu Yuzhou had just recited!
At the same time, the program's loudspeaker announced: "Lu Yuzhou, mission successful."
"We can go and invite the female guests now."
"Wait, this is way too far off! Yu Zhou only needs to recite a tongue twister, while I have to do more than forty push-ups." Shen Yan struggled desperately.
"Can I have another one?"
The horn blared a cruel message: "No."
Shen Yan gradually turned to stone.
He Zhiqian also stepped forward and drew a card, his fingertips holding the card.
[The male guest is asked to do 10 push-ups within one minute.]
"Are you... targeting me...?" Shen Yan was stunned when he saw He Zhiqian's mission card.
45 times?
And 10 times?
This must be the difference between life and death...
*
After reciting the tongue twister, Lu Yuzhou went directly to the small house where the female guest was.
He Zhiqian also completed 10 push-ups.
Only Shen Yan remains...
In the end, it didn't succeed...
Lu Yuzhou pushed open the first door of the small house.
