Chapter 67
I happened to see a pair of clear, cool phoenix eyes.
She seemed startled when she saw him, but after calming down, she spoke softly, "Lu Yuzhou, are you going to choose me?"
Lu Yuzhou hesitated for a moment.
He could easily tell that Shen Yan had been interested in her these past two days.
To be honest, I shouldn't have chosen her at this moment.
But he vaguely noticed his reflection falling into her eyes, as if she had crushed it in the water mirror.
He could still feel the fragility and fragility in his palm.
This led him to make a decision completely contrary to reason.
He still said one thing:
"Okay, I'll choose you."
*
When He Zhiqian arrived at the small house, he pushed open the first door and found it empty.
He then casually pushed open the second door, and there was Chen Hui.
He Zhiqian noticed something was wrong. After nodding and smiling at Chen Hui, he pushed open the third door.
Behind the third door was Zhao Ruoruo, who looked overjoyed to see him.
It wasn't her.
It seems that Lu Yuzhou chose her.
The faint scent of refreshing mint still lingered around his nose, but it made him feel somewhat irritated.
He Zhiqian was icy cold, his raven feathers thick and fierce, and he did not turn around.
......
The program team announced the final outcomes for the three "couples":
He Zhiqian and Zhao Ruoruo.
Yingning and Lu Yuzhou.
Shen Yan and Chen Hui, who were left out, were automatically paired up.
After a male guest is successfully paired with a female guest, he can go to the mountainous area to search for treasure.
*
A shimmering riverbank.
This natural mountain forest area is a scenic spot only a few kilometers away from the cabin, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a rare azure sky.
"Yu Zhou, do you have any thoughts?" Ying Ning gently stepped over a pebble and landed steadily.
The production team gave the female guest a card with a clue pointing to the location of the treasure. Inside, there was only one sentence:
A pure heart faces the bright moon.
It's really hard to guess.
"We've only just entered the outer area. Let's go inside and see if we can find any other clues?"
"Okay, let's look again."
Lu Yuzhou paused, glanced at the photographer following behind, and then hesitated before asking, "Why...why did you agree to team up with me?"
Actually, Lu Yuzhou regretted it on the spot after saying he chose you.
If she rejects him, it's better not to say anything at all.
Unexpectedly, Yingning agreed.
"If you and I get first place, we'll get the most abundant ingredients."
“And you’re a great cook too,” she said, turning her head.
He didn't mind that he agreed for no other reason, and even found the same excuse for his rashness at that moment.
It was as if he had chosen her only for tonight's picnic.
Some imperceptible emotions began to spread in the shadows of his heart.
As the two ventured a little deeper, the lush trees began to block out the sunlight.
The area designated by the production team is just this one area, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find.
Lu Yuzhou was walking when he saw Ying Ning suddenly stop.
"What's wrong?" He quickly walked to her side.
"Hmm, look."
Lu Yuzhou looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a wild plant that was growing vigorously.
Beneath the emerald green leaves are many berry-colored specks of fruit.
“It’s raspberry,” Lu Yuzhou said.
He reached out and picked a fruit, then wiped it with a wet tissue.
“It’s edible, try it.” He handed it to Yingning.
Yingning put a small raspberry in her mouth and took a gentle bite.
Wild raspberries are sweet and sour, and the juice bursts out in the mouth with each bite, releasing a carefree and unrestrained aroma. The juice then sneakily creeps up her delicate spot.
Before Lu Yuzhou could look away, he caught sight of the crimson on her lips, which looked exactly like the marks left by a passionate bite.
She also didn't tie her hair up today; her ink-black satin hair echoed the small mole at the corner of her eye. She frowned slightly because of the tartness of the raspberries.
The forest was quiet, and the sunlight filtering through the trees seemed to focus all its light on the person in front of them.
Then she looked up at herself with surprise, her face flushing slightly:
"Yu Zhou, shall we pick some to take home?"
He lowered his eyes, hiding his gaze in the shadows, trying to erase that crimson hue from his mind.
But the more I think about it, the clearer I remember it.
*
The two picked some raspberries and took them back. They used a plant that resembled a small banana leaf as a container, filled it with raspberries, and then wrapped it up again.
Yingning was holding the wrapped raspberries and carefully observing her surroundings when she heard a series of light footsteps nearby.
"Zhiqian, look here, is there something?" a sweet, coquettish female voice asked.
A figure emerged from the bushes; it was Zhao Ruoruo.
As soon as she finished speaking, another tall and slender figure emerged from behind the shadows of the trees.
He Zhiqian glanced at Ying Ning, then looked away, standing where Zhao Ruoruo had found her and studying her for a while.
"There shouldn't be anything there."
"Then I was mistaken just now. I thought there might be something hidden inside the tree trunk." Zhao Ruoruo secretly glanced at He Zhiqian's profile again.
I think this male guest is great in every way except for being a little clueless about romance.
She had previously thought that she might meet a rich and handsome man on a dating reality show.
Just as she wished, Shen Yan arrived one day and He Zhiqian the next.
I never imagined that participating in this dating reality show would be such a good decision!
Zhao Ruoruo thought shyly to herself that perhaps He Zhiqian was just not good at expressing himself, which was why he was showing his interest in her so subtly.
Otherwise, if it was a free choice, why would He Zhiqian choose himself?
"Hi, Yu Zhou, Sister Ying Ning." Zhao Ruoruo greeted Ying Ning and Lu Yu Zhou with a shy expression, then noticed the raspberries wrapped in leaves in Ying Ning's hand:
"Sister Yingning, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Have you found a clue?"
Lu Yuzhou was about to say no when he saw Ying Ning wink at him, looking less aloof and more charming.
Then she looked up and said to Zhao Ruoruo:
"This is a secret."
He then showed off by hiding his raspberries behind his back.
Lu Yuzhou was somewhat exasperated by her appearance.
If she tries to cover it up, Zhao Ruoruo will think that she and Lu Yuzhou have really found a clue.
"Sister Yingning, let me see." Zhao Ruoruo ran over.
Yingning immediately hid behind Lu Yuzhou, only her head showing.
"I told you it's not a clue, it's just a secret."
Zhao Ruoruo ran to Lu Yuzhou's side, and Yingning quickly hid on the other side of his body.
"Sister Yingning, let me take a look!"
"Don't let me see!" Yingning immediately ran away.
The ground around was uneven and had many stones.
Lu Yuzhou was worried that she might fall while running, so he could only stretch out his arm to block Zhao Ruoruo's pursuit, protecting her like a cub:
"Sister Ruoruo, it really isn't a clue."
Lu Yuzhou rarely spoke up for others, so Zhao Ruoruo naturally didn't believe him.
If it weren't for clues, why would Yu Yingning run away?
Taking advantage of the height difference between herself and Lu Yuzhou, Zhao Ruoruo crawled under his arm, reached out, and was about to grab Ying Ning.
Lu Yuzhou quickly turned around and saw the scene he was worried about unfold.
