Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Forced love is also love! ...
"Are you really going to get off the boat?"
The contestants on the following boats saw the scene and stood at the bow, not daring to act rashly.
In fact, it was not necessary to go with them, but the ship Ye Xuan was on had a problem and could not move forward.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and contacted Cui Da: "You can turn around and look for another river."
After a pause, he turned around and said to Yun Ti and the others, "Actually... if you don't want to, you can also transfer to their ship. Each ship will only add one more person, which should be affordable."
A trace of confusion flashed across his face, but he finally added.
"However, if we wade directly through here, the distance can be shortened by half, and the unknown risks of changing river channels can also be reduced."
"Are you trying to keep us here?"
Ming Jiaojiao had already seen through it, "If you don't want us to go with others, just say so."
Ye Xuan lowered his head and chuckled.
No matter how straight he was, he could feel that Ming Jiaojiao seemed to be a little distant from him recently. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he just thought that the little girl was throwing a tantrum and didn't need to take it too seriously.
After all, she is a sister who needs protection.
"If you join me, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety."
Ye Xuan looked at them one by one, and finally, his gaze stopped on Yun Ti.
Li Xingyan instantly got furious, just like a bomb.
Oh, Baobao is the name he gave to the monkey cub because its cry sounds like a bomb, with sharp explosions from time to time.
"Who are you to guarantee everyone's safety? That's ridiculous!"
Li Xingyan stepped aside and blocked Yun Ti calmly, "We all have hands and feet, who is worse than who?"
Loading! If you look at my wife again, I'll gouge your eyes out!
This momentum seems to be true.
The next second, Yun Ti pushed him away, "You're blocking my view."
Baobao also stuck his head out of the backpack and rummaged through it a few times, imitating the man's example.
"Oh, sorry." Li Xingyan moved away obediently.
Very good, completely ruined.
He Junzhuo, who was eating melon silently, couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly. It's true that there is always something that can defeat something else.
Finally, three ships turned around and changed their route.
The remaining ships chose to follow the main force.
It is understandable that Cui Da and Su Jian did not leave, as they already had a good relationship with Ye Xuan.
What was even more surprising was that the villains didn’t leave either.
Everyone was puzzled.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
The most important thing right now is how to wade through this muddy ground safely.
Ye Xuan took the lead and was the first to get off the boat.
The accumulated water reached his calves, so he stepped on it slowly and warned, "The ground is soft and will sink if you step on it. Be sure to be careful."
Before she could finish her words, Yun Ti jumped down.
The people on the boat were so frightened that they subconsciously reached out their hands.
The girl walked half a meter lightly, like a cat, with the tips of her shoes touching the ground.
The water was above her knees, but she walked gracefully and easily, without any sense of heaviness or dragging herself along.
"As expected of Sister Ti."
"Timei is amazing!"
"Brother Ye, it seems that you are exaggerating a bit."
…
As if encouraged, several people followed Yun Ti's example and jumped down impatiently.
My goodness, my entire ankle was stuck in the mud, and the strong suction force attached to my foot made it impossible to pull it out.
Fortunately, the other companions were kind-hearted and pulled together for a long time like pulling a carrot, and finally managed to get him ashore.
The morning mist flows between the treetops, filtering the light into blue-gray satin.
The contestants disembarked one after another.
Ye Xuan led the way in front, Cui Da was the rear guard, Yun Ti and Ban Lie were in the middle observing and controlling the overall situation. This was the plan that everyone discussed collectively.
No matter how detailed the theory is on paper, it is a completely different experience once you get off the boat.
Many people were afraid to move after walking a few steps.
Some said they felt bugs crawling on their bodies and snakes brushing against their ankles, while others said crocodiles were watching them from the bushes.
After hearing these words, Ming Jiaojiao stood on the deck and hesitated to move forward.
Yun Ti was under the boat and held out her hand, "Come down, it's okay."
As long as they stay around her and Banle, no snakes or insects should dare to approach.
The girl under the boat was confident, calm, and at ease, as if nothing was out of her control.
This is the posture that Ming Jiaojiao most longs for, but also dares not hope for.
Climb up along her roots. Even if it can't be yours in the end, it can still be considered as—
"Good wind, with its power, carries me up to the sky."
Isn’t it?
The fair and smooth hand pressed against the slightly dark and not very soft palm.
Ming Jiaojiao smiled with relief, "Will Ti Ti protect me?"
Yun Ti thought for two seconds.
If standing next to her is considered protection.
So……
"I will." Yun Ti nodded.
After finally sending Ming Jiaojiao away, there was still Li Xingyan behind.
I don’t know who offended him, but his face stinks as much as the humus under his feet.
"Will Titti protect me?"
He pursed his lips, spread his hands, and imitated Ming Jiaojiao's tone in a sarcastic tone.
"Your mother doesn't need my protection," Yun Ti said seriously, "but I will protect you."
This is a fucking instruction.
Leopard Leopard will definitely live up to his mission.
"Who, who needs your protection?"
Li Xingyan's face flushed instantly, and he began to stutter. "Are you kidding? I...I need protection?"
Although I was secretly happy and even felt a little sweet.
But asking a beloved girl to protect him is despicable.
He couldn't let Yun Ti look down on him again.
Looking at the disgusting sewage under the boat, Li Xingyan closed his eyes and made up his mind to jump down.
A hand covered his calf, stopping his movements.
"Wait a minute."
Open your eyes.
Yun Ti jumped onto the boat, squatted at his feet, and touched his ankle all the way up.
Li Xingyan didn't know what was happening. When he reacted, he was wet all over.
It's sweat, soaked.
"What are you doing?" Li Xingyan's entire leg was numb and he didn't dare to move rashly.
He has now basically figured out Yun Ti's approach, which is... there is no approach!
They speak and act as they please, let alone emotions and morals. They don't even know the most basic differences between men and women.
He could only try his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart and not be as "self-indulgent" as before.
Sure enough, Yun Ti raised her head, her eyes devoid of any seductiveness. "These pants are too thin, and the legs are loose. Something could easily get inside."
Others would be fine if they were drilled, but not Li Xingyan. He looked delicate and could be easily hurt.
Getting injured in the rainforest is a big deal.
Thinking of this, Yun Ti took the suitcase from He Junzhuo and opened it.
After picking and choosing, he picked up a pair of leggings and said, "Change to this."
What? Long johns!
He Junzhuo burst out laughing.
Under the gazes of Yun Ti's confusion and Li Xingyan's anger, he lowered the corners of his mouth and pretended to look away as if nothing had happened.
"...It's hot." Li Xingyan spoke weakly, trying to struggle.
Yun Ti said "Oh" and said, "Can't I wear it alone?"
...Who wears thermal underwear outside?
No! What the hell is he doing? Why on earth would he stuff long johns into a suitcase?
"I'll give you three minutes. Go in and change your pants and come out." There was no room for negotiation.
Yun Ti even frowned and tugged at Li Xingyan's outer pants, "You don't even want this pair with holes in it. Are you that poor? You can't bear to throw away your ripped pants."
Oh my god!
He Junzhuo was trying to hold back his laughter so hard that his whole body was twitching, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.
He twisted his voice, patted the suitcase, and said, "Brother Yan, is there anything else you want to take? If not, I'll take it away first."
We have to carry the boxes and run away overnight, we have to!
Otherwise, Master Li would have killed him to silence him.
Finally, Li Xingyan changed reluctantly and came out.
Yun Ti touched him from bottom to top again.
This time, Li Xingyan was able to remain calm.
She just stared at me for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, "Hug me."
It can’t be stopped at all! It can’t be stopped at all!
Li Xingyan's face flushed red instantly, and he hesitated for several seconds.
Finally, she shyly stole a glance, and as if burned by the other person's gaze, she suddenly lowered her trembling eyelashes, "In public... in public... okay, then I'll bear with it... hug you."
Just raised my arm.
Yun Ti blocked him with an indifferent look on her face, "What are you doing? I'm calling Baobao out."
Baobao also poked his head out from the bag behind him, his round eyes rolling around, looking like a mischievous person who was enjoying the show.
…
There are 360 professions, and each one can break down defenses.
Li Xingyan had a wooden face and thought to himself: The only way for me to never be fooled by Yun Ti again in this life is to not be an ordinary man.
After getting off the boat.
Yun Ti suddenly remembered something.
He took out a dirty piece of clothing he had worn from the backpack behind him, touched Baobao's head, and handed the clothing to Li Xingyan, "Put it on."
The law of survival in nature: the stronger the scent of a ferocious beast, the less likely other lower-level animals will dare to approach.
Although I don’t know if it still works now, but... I can use Li Xingyan as an experiment.
Poor Li Xingyan had no idea about this.
He carefully held Yunti's original jacket, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes.
I must have gotten it right this time! My wife was worried I'd be cold, so she took the initiative to put a coat on me!
If this isn’t love, then what is!
Forced love is still love!
What do you mean by heart is as still as water? It’s obviously love that is as surging as the tide!
He's going to make waves!
＊
It dragged on for half an hour.
The main force finally set off.
The group consciously lined up in a column and slowly crossed the muddy pond.
Without the shade of towering trees, the sun was high in the sky, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
The only reference point was the jungle on all sides. I couldn't tell where the potholes and underground rivers were under my feet, and every step was like walking on thin ice.
Baobao sat on Yunti's shoulder, looking around and squeaking at the slightest movement.
It's like a smart surveillance camera that can automatically sound the alarm.
"Hey, have you noticed that we now look like a scene from the movie 'Anaconda'?"
He Junzhuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "It was also a group of people wading through the swamp, and there was also a cute little monkey cub that looked like a little mythical beast."
Even the characters are similar: the heroine Yun Ti, who is bound to survive to the end, the brave and skilled hero Ye Xuan, the handsome and wealthy supporting actor Li Xingyan, the politically correct and indispensable "Black Brother" Banle, the beautiful and sexy actress Ming Jiaojiao, and...
"And people like us, the funny cannon fodder used to liven up the atmosphere in the early stages, are the first to quack when the climax comes."
Ma Yuming swallowed his saliva, feeling inexplicably anxious. "Xiao He, why don't you just stop talking? I feel like I won't live much longer..."
"Yeah! Shut up!" Li Xingyan frowned.
Ma Yuming: "Master Li, you are kind-hearted."
"Why am I the second male lead? That idiot is the male lead?" Li Xingyan glared at He Junzhuo, his face full of dissatisfaction. "There's no way I, Li Xingyan, can be a supporting role!"
There is no possibility of giving the heroine Ti Ti to someone else!
Even if he is really the second male lead, he will pester her and will get her no matter what!
…
Ma Yuming: It turns out that you were just speaking up for justice just to fight for the role. I was really touched.
"I didn't say Brother Yan is the male supporting role..." He Junzhuo became increasingly silent, and finally pursed his lips, secretly complaining in his heart.
I won’t tell you who is in the right seat.
Yun Ti, who was walking in front, couldn't help but turn her head and asked: "You all know this movie?"
"If you don't watch such a classic old movie, you are not a Chinese." He Junzhuo nodded firmly.
Yun Ti looked at Ming Jiaojiao, "Have you seen it too?"
Seeing the other person's smiling eyes, Yun Ti looked at Ban Lie, who also felt guilty.
It’s over. They are the only two people present who haven’t seen it.
But it's not a big deal, since they're not Chinese anyway. If you really want to calculate, they should be...
Africans???
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Young Master Li is a man who remembers food but not punishment. When he finds out his wife has played a trick on him, he gets a little mad, then quickly calms himself down and clings to her again, repeating the cycle. (This only applies to Ti Ti; he's quite vindictive towards others.)
