Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Go Home, Child
Indeed, compared with Master Li, a genius with a delicate and flawless face, others are somewhat inferior.
Facing this handsome face that had just recovered from a serious illness, Yun Ti admired it for a while and said seriously, "You are the most beautiful."
Li Xingyan couldn’t do it right away.
The harsh words were stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, and I almost had a stroke.
"Then, then you still..."
And he even scolded me like I was worthless. Isn't having a pretty face a gift?
No, you can't say that.
A man's appearance is not something to be proud of. He can't make himself look even less promising.
Li Xingyan coughed lightly, "I'm not just good-looking, I have many other advantages. Someone made a mistake, hide in bed and regret it!"
I didn't dare say much, for fear that if I said too much I would end up on my knees begging for peace.
Li Xingyan turned around and left without giving Yun Ti a chance to react.
He Junzhuo, who was following behind him, chimed in with a pinched voice, "Go and regret it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed at Li Xingyan's back with an exaggerated expression, and hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed to apologize.
Let the child go, it's just the young master's job.
They just left.
Soon after, several villains followed with a joking look on their faces.
He scraped with his left hand and kicked with his right foot, making a mess of the place.
Finally, he gave the train a warning.
"The idiots filed in."
Staring at their departing backs, Ming Jiaojiao was speechless, "Do you think you're filming a Young and Dangerous movie? What are you all pretending for?"
"Did you provoke them?" she asked Banlie.
It wasn't the train that provoked them, it was Li Xingyan who provoked the train.
So... they are supporting Li Xingyan?
Leopard is thinking, Leopard is puzzled.
When did the plot suddenly develop to this point? How did they work together?
More importantly...
"Who did Li Xingyan say regretted?"
Yun Ti slowly looked towards Banle, then took a deep breath and suddenly realized, "Did you do something to offend him?"
＊
The next day.
The bracelet issued a notification.
The "Survivor Game" production team reminds you: The rainforest map is about to open, and all previous transportation is invalid. Contestants will board a cruise ship into the deep rainforest, exit the rainforest within 15 days, and travel to the snow-capped mountains at the northern foot of the mountain range. Please dress lightly and stay safe.
The river is not far from the stilt houses, and several boats are parked on the shore.
It's called a cruise ship, but it's actually a simple expedition vessel. About ten meters long, it can accommodate a limited number of people. From the outside, it looks like something left behind by survivors of rainforest exploration in the last century, with its wooden construction, curved hull, and old-fashioned single engine and propeller.
The old mud on the wooden boards gave off a faint stench of decay.
Li Xingyan covered his nose and frowned, "Can this be called a cruise ship?"
Not even as good as his small motorboat.
The young master obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until the weight limit was set when boarding the ship.
Looking at his four 28-inch suitcases, Li Xingyan was dumbfounded.
Two boxes of clothes, one box of daily necessities, and half a box of food left in the white suitcase - because of the "quarrel" with Yun Ti, she had not opened the suitcase on her own initiative for several days.
Each boat can accommodate a maximum of 8-10 people. Even if the others don't bring anything, Li Xingyan can only leave two suitcases at most.
Now, it’s hard to buy a lackey with money.
Besides, once we entered the rainforest, the road conditions were complicated and it was inconvenient to move forward. Everyone was carrying a backpack, so who would have the energy to help the young master carry the box?
Li Xingyan had to make a painful choice and it would be best to keep only one bag.
A change of clothes every day, skincare products, sunscreen spray, hairspray, a folding tent, an outdoor shower cover...
Which one can be left behind?
It would be better to let the super-clean freak Li Xingyan be a savage who doesn't take a shower, change clothes, or do his hair style for a few days...
"Come home, kid, come home, okay?"
Ming Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore.
I really don't understand what kicked his head. He insisted on forcing himself into a circle he couldn't fit into. "If you don't hurry up, it will be dark soon!"
This is the truth. The deeper you go, the higher the vegetation coverage and the faster it gets dark.
The dark night in the rainforest is full of more unknown risks than in the mountains.
Ye Xuan looked at several ships and found that based on the number of people and ships, there was indeed extra space. It was just a matter of whether there were more or fewer people on each ship.
But once you get off the boat, it's a big hassle to figure out where to put the luggage, and in the end you still have to throw it away.
He pondered for a moment and decided to sound a warning to the naive young master, "Li Xingyan, the road ahead is not as easy and fun as you imagined. Your body may not be able to handle it. It's not too late to stop here."
Everyone's eyes gathered around, and most expressed strong agreement.
The few who were reluctant to let him go just regarded him as a moving gold bar.
Even Yunti...
Yunti has already chosen a boat!
Standing on the deck chatting animatedly!
And the train!
Seeing that there were not many seats left on the ship, Li Xingyan became anxious.
"Who wants to go back? Whoever goes back is a grandson!"
Just close your eyes and throw it away.
Li Xingyan quickly picked out some clean and light clothes, stuffed them into the white suitcase, closed it, and threw it to He Junzhuo behind him.
Then he jumped onto the boat with his life-saving bag on his back.
“Come on!”
–
The boat sailed upstream.
Surrounded by dark green rivers and jungles, the roots of vines are rooted in the river, wrapping the mud banks like invisible thousands of hands, occasionally touching the wheel-shaped propeller behind the boat.
The ship trembled and continued to move forward.
It was the first time for Yunti and Banlie to see such a scenery. It was so novel that they stood at the bow of the boat as if their feet were rooted to the ground, not moving at all.
They were on the lead boat, with no obstructions in front, giving them a wide field of vision, but it also meant they would be the first to be hit in the event of danger.
For example, now, the sun is shining brightly, directly onto the water surface, emitting scorching heat.
"Timei, aren't you afraid of getting tanned as a little girl?"
Ma Yuming couldn't stop wiping the sweat off his face, holding a small fan but still facing Li Xingyan.
He was the driver who was stopped by Li Xingyan's bodyguard to change cars.
He once said rudely, "If you had told me there was money to be made, I wouldn't have pretended. I'll just give it all to you, young master."
Yes, he has stopped pretending. After all, who can resist money?
"I told you, it's useless."
Ming Jiaojiao smoothed the mask on her face and moved her body inward to avoid being exposed to more ultraviolet rays.
Li Xingyan secretly glanced at Yun Ti on the deck, was silent for a few seconds, spread his hands towards Ma Yuming and hooked his fingers.
The other party was stunned, confused, "Huh? What?"
A simple-minded boor!
Li Xingyan suppressed his inner frustration and snatched the small handheld fan.
He stood up, pretended to stretch and stretch his muscles casually, and then slowly moved to the deck.
"It's really hot."
He lay on his back, squinted his eyes, held up the fan and shook it left and right.
In fact, the wind direction was all towards Yunti.
When Yun Ti looked over, Li Xingyan suddenly withdrew his secret observation.
"You..." Yun Ti said, "Are you not fully recovered from your illness yet?"
Li Xingyan was flattered by the sudden concern.
In order to make himself look less cheap, he tucked his chin in slightly, posing his profile at the most perfect angle, and glanced at Yun Ti, "I'm well again. I'm in good physical condition and have been exercising. This is the first time I've had a fever in all these years..."
"Then why is your hand paralyzed?" Yun Ti interrupted him.
"ah?"
Yun Ti pointed at the fan in his hand and said, "Can't you hold it steady? It's blowing all over my face."
After saying that, he reached out and straightened Li Xingyan's wrist, "This way it's facing you."
Oh my god!
Li Xingyan couldn't stand steadily and took a few steps back.
This is undoubtedly like a kitten rubbing against someone's legs to please others, but people say, "Do you have fleas?" or "Go take a bath if you feel itchy."
No, this is too humiliating, I have to run away...
Li Xingyan turned around in panic.
"Bang."
The hull of the ship hit the exposed roots along the shore, and the bow felt a strong vibration.
Li Xingyan didn't stand firmly, his feet slipped, and his body lost balance instantly.
Just when he was about to fall, a hand covered his waist.
The sky was spinning, birds were singing, flowers were blooming, the gaps between the trees were shady, and the water was hazy with mist.
It’s simply a godsend...
etc!
Ye Xuan? !
Li Xingyan suddenly jumped up and pushed the person in front of him away, "You, you, you!"
Suddenly turning around, I saw Yunti and Banlie blinking at the same time, with expressions of enjoying the fun.
"I knew you weren't fully recovered yet," Yun Ti nodded firmly. "Look, not only are your hands shaking, but your legs are weak too."
Ye Xuan also smiled, clenched his fist and moved it to his mouth, coughing lightly, "The river channel has narrowed, and the boat is prone to collisions. It's not safe for you to stand here, let's go in quickly."
Li Xingyan's stubborn temper came up.
What? You're all safe standing here, but I'm not?
Who are you looking down on!
Just about to retort.
The ship jolted again, as if in response to Ye Xuan's words.
Caught off guard, the fan in Li Xingyan's hand fell to the ground, and in an instant it slid along the tilted deck to the bottom of the river with a splash.
Okay, no one should brag now.
The world is quiet too.
–
This silence lasted for several hours.
Soon, it got dark.
The rainforest became noisy.
The calls of various birds and beasts were infinitely amplified in the darkness.
The monkeys on both sides of the river cried in sharp voices, sometimes long, sometimes short, startling and especially creepy.
The food on board is effective and it is not convenient to make a fire.
After a simple meal, everyone except the "captain on duty" Ma Yuming needs to stay in the cabin to monitor the direction of the ship.
The others gathered in the cabin and played Werewolf.
Yun Ti sat alone at the bow of the boat.
The calves hang naturally outside, and the toes of the shoes lightly touch the water surface from time to time.
Leopard has always been good at entertaining himself.
The river surface was like an abyss, dark as ink, and became sticky even when stirred.
What Yun Ti was thinking was: There must be a lot of fresh and delicious fish here.
Suddenly, ripples of light appeared on the surface of the lake.
Turning around, the kerosene lamp hanging behind me was lit.
Li Xingyan sat next to Yun Ti.
There was almost a person's distance between them.
"Why are you here?" Yun Ti asked.
"I feel sorry for someone who's alone. I'm not like the so-called good brother who only cares about playing games by myself."
Seeing Yun Ti's confused expression, Li Xingyan's heart sank.
He was sad that Yun Ti didn't care about him that much, angry that she played with him, and even more regretful that he broke up with her on impulse.
But only now did he realize that Yun Ti might really understand nothing.
I don’t understand the meaning of dating and breaking up, nor do I understand his sarcasm, subtext and sour words.
Not understanding love, does that mean...she actually doesn't have that kind of intention towards Ye Xuan and Ban Lie.
Even if there is a good impression, it is only based on recognition of their abilities.
As long as he works hard to become stronger, Yun Ti will discover his good qualities and find that he is no worse than Ye Xuan and Ban Lie.
Would she... not look down on him so much?
In the past few days, Li Xingyan has pondered over Yun Ti's "sharp comments" on him hundreds of times.
Suddenly, I realized: at least, she recognized his "good looks" and "dirty money." If these were the few advantages he had left, then he should make the most of them, right?
Just thinking about it.
The girl suddenly came closer, throwing herself into his arms.
Li Xingyan's limbs were stiff and he dared not move.
It was as if I was back to the night of that impulsive kiss.
"You smell," Yunti wrinkled her nose and sniffed, "sour."
!!!
Could it be that she...
She smelled her own sweat!
Ahhhh, it’s said that people can’t not take a bath!
In an instant, Li Xingyan was so ashamed that he blushed and ejected back into the cabin.
Tottering and swaying.
The kerosene lamp at the bow swayed, and the elongated light and shadows created ripples on the deck.
Yun Ti blinked and wanted to say: When he said those words just now, the breath emanating from his body was very sour.
Like the baobab fruit commonly found in the Serengeti, it tastes sour, sweet, and dry when chewed, but it secretes nectar.
Want to eat.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
You say east and she says west, two innocent elementary school kids.
Li Shao's quote strikes again: Don't worry, pigeons. I really won't be fooled by her this time. I pretended to be completely bewitched by her, but it was just part of my plan. Don't blame me, I have my own rhythm!
