Shen Yunxi stared blankly at Xu Mengyu on the bed, tears welling up in her eyes. She had really killed someone. She had forgotten what to do next, and even her fingers were trembling.
But she didn't have much time left; He Kai and the others would be back soon...
Seeing that the time was right, Xu Mengyu suddenly stretched out her hands. Shen Yunxi bent down to hug her, but before she could react, her leg hit the wooden bed behind her, and she almost fell over.
She couldn't care less about anything else and reached out to grab Xu Mengyu: "You're still alive!"
Xu Mengyu quickly jumped off the bed. Her ears were ringing, her chest felt like it was being crushed by a heavy stone, and her stomach was aching. She could feel blood flowing down her legs.
But she couldn't stop, or she would really die.
Xu Mengyu stood barefoot on the ground, her heart pounding wildly. She dared not turn around, feeling that Shen Yunxi was right behind her.
Shen Yunxi originally wanted to chase after her, but she had just bumped her leg and Xu Mengyu was running for her life, so she couldn't catch up at all. She returned to the wooden house and took off the ribbon.
How could she forget that Xu Mengyu is an actress? She was just faking her death. It's all because she was too scared, and it was her first time killing someone!
Xu Mengyu was panting heavily, as if her lungs were about to explode. Her feet were covered in cuts and bleeding wounds, but she dared not stop. Her vision was blurring, and she knew she couldn't hold on much longer.
"Tianming, slow down, wait for me." He Kai said, carrying a basket and holding his waist with one hand.
Zheng Tianming was extremely anxious. It might rain; the air pressure had dropped. They had been out for almost an hour, and Xu Mengyu was alone in the wooden cabin. He was somewhat worried about her.
Xu Mengyu vaguely heard someone speaking, it sounded like Zheng Tianming's voice. She leaned against a thick tree and endured the excruciating pain as she walked toward the source of the sound, each step accompanied by intense pain.
Zheng Tianming was in a hurry to get back, so he walked very fast, and He Kai was almost jogging behind him.
"Don't worry, I told Yunxi when I came that if we encountered any danger, we should close the door and sprinkle some medicine powder," He Kai said breathlessly.
When Xu Mengyu walked over, she only saw Zheng Tianming's very blurry back. He had already walked far away. She clutched her clothes and shouted with all her might. Then, as if her brain was deprived of oxygen, everything went black.
Zheng Tianming turned his head: "What was that sound?" There was nothing behind him, but he felt like someone had just called him.
"Are you hallucinating because you're thinking about Mengyu?" He Kai didn't even turn his head. There were so many birds in the forest, it would be strange if there was no sound.
Zheng Tianming pursed his lips, thinking of her?
After leaving this place, they will never cross paths again...
He had only taken two steps when his anxiety intensified: "You go back first, I'll go check on things." He ran over and checked on things, and it didn't take more than a few minutes.
"What's so interesting?" He Kai found Zheng Tianming's reaction a bit strange. Wasn't he just in a hurry to go back?
Zheng Tianming ran very fast. He wanted to take a look, and if nothing was wrong, he could just run back. It wouldn't take much time. Otherwise, he would keep thinking about it.
"Mengyu!" Zheng Tianming was surprised that Xu Mengyu would fall behind the big tree.
His feet were covered in blood, his face was completely pale, his lips were white, and he had already fainted. Zheng Tianming quickly squatted down and called out twice, but there was no response. He placed his fingers on his carotid artery and then placed his hands on the lower middle part of his sternum to begin pressing.
"Xu Mengyu!" Zheng Tianming called her name while pressing on her chest, then pinched her nose, lifted her chin, and began artificial respiration.
How could she be here? Panic and fear swept over him. He had participated in many dangerous operations, but he had never been so panicked as he was now.
Xu Mengyu gradually regained consciousness, and her lips moved slightly: "Kill me."
"Shut up, don't speak yet." Zheng Tianming picked Xu Mengyu up in his arms. This wretched place didn't even have medicine, let alone time to treat her!
Xu Mengyu nestled close to Zheng Tianming, feeling safe and sleepy, her eyelids heavy...
Zheng Tianming glanced down and immediately shouted, "Xu Mengyu, if you dare to sleep, I'll leave you here!"
“...”
After putting his things down, He Kai returned to the tent and took a look. Shen Yunxi was not there. He then turned and went to the wooden house.
He never imagined that participating in a wilderness survival activity would lead to marrying a female celebrity; he never would have dared to dream of such a thing before.
"Yunxi!" He Kai hurriedly went over.
Shen Yunxi's face was covered in blood, and there was a large gash on her forehead: "Save me, save me, Xu Mengyu, she wants to kill me." After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes.
He Kai put Shen Yunxi on the bed, flustered and unsure of what to do. It was obvious to everyone that the two of them didn't get along, but how did it escalate to the point of fighting and even murder?
Zheng Tianming carried Xu Mengyu back to the wooden house. He Kai was sitting on the bed applying medicine to Shen Yunxi. The two looked at each other, both full of doubt.
"ah--"
Upon seeing Xu Mengyu, Shen Yunxi screamed and burrowed into He Kai's arms without a care in the world. Her whole body was trembling, and the wound on her forehead bled again, flowing down her face.
Xu Mengyu's lips moved slightly: "She... wants to kill me."
Zheng Tianming, who was close to Xu Mengyu, heard everything clearly.
After putting Xu Mengyu down, he turned his head, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent and full of aggression.
He Kai was still comforting Shen Yunxi. Everything had happened so suddenly that he was completely bewildered and didn't notice the changes in the person behind him.
Zheng Tianming forcefully pressed He Kai onto the bed. Shen Yunxi was still crying when she was suddenly grabbed by the neck. Her face turned red instantly, and she struggled frantically, using her hands and feet to exert force.
"Tianming, are you crazy!" He Kai stood up and tried to pry Zheng Tianming's fingers off: "Let go!"
Zheng Tianming lowered his eyes, a chill running through them. His arms were taut, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. "Get out of my way," he said, exerting force again.
Shen Yunxi's eyes rolled upwards repeatedly, her tongue lolled out, and her whole body trembled, but she had no strength left to struggle.
He Kai got up and tried to pull Zheng Tianming away, but was kicked away by him. His back slammed heavily against the wooden partition, and he gasped in pain.
Xu Mengyu struggled to get up. If he killed Shen Yunxi, his life would be over. It wasn't worth it for someone like that: "Tianming."
Even if no one knows, he won't let himself off the hook, after all, he was once a soldier.
Zheng Tianming forcefully slammed Shen Yunxi to the ground, then turned to help Xu Mengyu up: "What are you doing moving around like that!"
Shen Yunxi braced herself on the ground, retching loudly. He Kai held her in his arms and looked up at Zheng Tianming: "There must be some misunderstanding. You know they've always been at odds."
"Take her and get out." Zheng Tianming looked down at Xu Mengyu in his arms. Even though they had broken up, she was still his sister.
On this day, he would protect her for the entire day.
Shen Yunxi hid in He Kai's arms and glared fiercely at Zheng Tianming and Xu Mengyu. When he was injured, she stayed by his side and took care of him. In the end, he showed no mercy and attacked him directly. Just wait, she will not let this go, even if it means dying together!
With things having escalated to this point, He Kai had no choice but to carry Shen Yunxi away first...
The live streaming platform issued a notice stating that it had to temporarily shut down the live stream due to a system bug.
Xu Mengyu's fans posted some cobbled-together screenshots online. Shen Yunxi was carrying a bag when she entered the wooden house, and then it was unclear what happened. The situation in the wooden house was very blurry, and before they could take a closer look, the live stream was turned off.
The hashtag "Shen Yunxi premeditatedly murdered" trended on social media.
Shen Yunxi's agency issued a statement saying they would sue those spreading rumors and hoped netizens would speak kindly and not easily believe false information online.
We need to see Mengyu.
If I don't see my daughter within two days, I'll call the police.
【That bitch Shen Yunxi, she wants to kill Mengyu because she's less popular than her!】
[Xu Xiaobiao's fans are hoping for her death. They're spreading such rumors for attention and traffic. Aren't you the ones who wish her a terrible death?]
Li Mirui looked at her phone. If it was all acting, a script, then given Mengyu's personality, she would definitely contact her family. Also, she had called the nanny abroad, who said she hadn't spoken to Xiaolu, and Xiaolu had started crying for her mother every day...
With all this commotion online, she was extremely anxious.
Xu Sichen also saw the trending topic, and his phone was ringing off the hook with calls from people concerned about Mengyu's safety.
"If Mengyu gets into trouble, you'll have to live on your own." Li Mirui sat on the plane. She had already said she wanted to visit the set, but he insisted on keeping her there.
Xu Sichen squinted, his legs naturally crossed, and his body leaned back in the seat. Regardless of whether Mengyu was alright or not, he would make Chen Han suffer the consequences.
They have to fly for five hours, and after landing, they need to transfer to a ship to get to the island, which will take at least seven or eight hours...
Xu Mengyu was not in good condition. Zheng Tianming gave her some basic treatment. This couldn't go on any longer; the wound on her foot had become infected, and she was bleeding heavily.
"In the future, before taking on any more adventure variety shows, I'll think twice about my own capabilities." Zheng Tianming rested his hand on his forehead; he had used every trick in the book.
He was considering whether to risk taking Xu Mengyu off the island, in case of an accident, they would sink to the bottom of the sea together.
As soon as Xu Mengyu closed her eyes, a feeling of suffocation washed over her. Hearing Zheng Tianming's words, she blinked. What kind of time is this to be so mean to her?
Zheng Tianming raised his hand and touched Xu Mengyu's forehead. Although she had taken fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicine, she was still a little hot. He got up and took a damp towel to apply it to her forehead.
"My stomach hurts." Xu Mengyu's delicate features were almost scrunched up. She had no strength left and felt like she was about to die.
Zheng Tianming's warm hand landed on Xu Mengyu's stomach through her clothes.
Xu Mengyu hummed softly twice. After leaving here, they went their separate ways. What kind of person would he marry in the future?
Zheng Tianming remained in one position for over an hour until Xu Mengyu's breathing stabilized before he got up. He needed to cook something to eat, otherwise she would have even less strength.
He Kai sat by the campfire, where he had already cooked snake porridge. When he saw Zheng Tianming come out, he looked up at him.
"Yunxi said Xu Mengyu wanted to kill her. I think there might be some misunderstanding between them that they haven't cleared up?" He Kai said as he ladled out the snake meat porridge.
Zheng Tianming glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "I believe my sister."
"What I mean is, they had a fight and both felt that the other was going to kill them..." He Kai thought that the two girls didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so how could they possibly want to kill each other?
Zheng Tianming pointed to his forehead as he spoke: "Mengyu ran to find me, which took at least half an hour. When we came back, Shen Yunxi's forehead was still bleeding. You must have seen pigs being slaughtered. In this hot weather, wouldn't the blood change color?"
He Kai paused, holding the bowl of porridge.
"She's a top female celebrity in China, earning hundreds of millions in film fees. Why would she suddenly sleep with you? Is it really just because she couldn't control herself?" Zheng Tianming finished speaking, took the porridge from He Kai's hand, and gently patted his shoulder before leaving: "She never eats wild fruits, afraid of allergies..."
Zheng Tianming had served in the military and would subconsciously observe the behavior of those around him.
For example, He Kai has a habit of raising pigs. No matter what he does, his first thought is safety. For example, when he adds a few more beams to the wooden house, he always asks whether the pigs can eat the wild vegetables he finds.
He Kai stood there, stunned...
Shen Yunxi lay on the bed, still shaken by the fact that she had almost been strangled to death by Zheng Tianming. Her forehead was also still sore from the impact.
This time it didn't work out, I don't know when I'll have another chance...
He Kai brought the snake meat porridge into the tent: "Are you feeling any better?"
"Brother He, do you believe me?" Shen Yunxi said, her eyes reddening. She couldn't afford to lose He Kai right now.
He Kai reached out and wiped away Shen Yunxi's tears: "What do you mean by believing or not? Drink the porridge first." If he abandoned her, she would only be able to wait to die on this deserted island.
Shen Yunxi threw herself into He Kai's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist: "Xu Mengyu said I was shameless, that I seduced men everywhere. I was so angry that I hit her. She covered my head with a pillow, and I couldn't breathe. Later, I passed out. She probably thought I was dead, so she ran out in a panic..."
He Kai held Shen Yunxi in his arms and listened quietly.
"When I woke up, I found she wasn't there, so I got up to look for you, but my legs gave way and I fell against the door frame." Shen Yunxi said, then burst into tears: "Xu, Xu Mengyu is trying to frame me because she has Zheng Tianming backing her."
He Kai gently patted Shen Yunxi's back: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Shen Yunxi raised her head and kissed He Kai's lips. After releasing him, she whispered, "Go find Zheng Tianming. Only with him can you survive." Then she slid down, saying, "I don't want to live anymore..."
She failed in her murder attempt, and for now she must keep this man, otherwise she won't even have a chance to eat. As for Xu Mengyu and Zheng Tianming, she will find a way to kill them sooner or later.
Her agency won't give up on her. If she doesn't go back for a long time, they will definitely send someone to pick her up. At that time, she will push the responsibility onto He Kai. He is just a pig farmer. He has no money and no connections. How can he fight against her?
He Kai was taken aback by Shen Yunxi's answer and was momentarily at a loss for whom to believe...
Chen Han was already waiting on the ship with his men. He had known Xu Sichen for over twenty years and understood his temperament; he knew Xu Sichen wouldn't let him go. If the ship capsized and something happened to him and his wife...
