Chapter 32 Chapter 32
The camera was not in the capsule. When the audience saw Yumi pretending to be a ghost to scare people, it seemed that Ansius nudged them with his head. They both had a lot of fun. After a long time, they heard Yumi say "Go to sleep, Louis" from inside. They realized belatedly that the little guy suddenly pretended to be a ghost just to divert Louis' attention.
Yes, the audience all know that Louis is a fan of Yumi, and even if he is not a fan, the weak friend he has taken good care of has been coveted by wild beasts time and time again, and was almost taken away once. If you put yourself in his shoes, anyone would have psychological trauma.
[This is the real sunshine after rain, I feel relieved. 】
[Poor Yumi, I hope things will go smoothly for you next time...]
[Crocodile is not a fish: Teacher Mi is not as weak as you think. After going through so much, he has not planned to quit the show. Although Louis has always been a guardian, I think Teacher Mi is more like a nanny in the game, who has been giving Louis endless energy. Teacher Mi is the best! ]
[Um...what did Louis say just now? His voice was so low that I couldn't hear clearly.]
[Call Mimi? Never mind, it’s too late and I’m going to sleep, good night everyone! ]
Ansius's cry of "baby" was not discovered until the next day.
The Yumi fan who edited the screen recording was so curious that he amplified that part of the audio and studied it separately. In the end, he couldn’t believe it... Louis was actually calling baby!
This is too much! Their loyal fans haven't shouted yet?!
That morning, members of Yumi's global fan group were so angry that they called her "baby" in the group for the whole morning.
The few black fans lurking in the group were scared and left the group.
Today is the fifth day of the live broadcast of "It's Okay to Be Different" and the fourth day of the partners' survival. There are only two days left.
As expected, the sky was clear outside. The sun was very bright, and beams of golden light shone into the entrance of the cave, which looked warm.
Taking advantage of the sunny day, Yumi and Anxius took out the items in the cave to dry in the sun.
The capsule room was also placed by Ansius on the sunny lawn.
Although they had only lived in this cave for a few days, they had a lot of stuff.
Ansius took all the big items, while Yumi was busy carrying some smaller things within her reach, and also took the pair of black wings outside to dry in the sun.
At first glance, it looks like there is a real family living here.
After finishing these, he went out hunting with Ansius.
The sky cleared up and the rain dragon had disappeared long ago.
This time Ansius chose a smaller target - a pheasant.
Catching pheasants was a piece of cake for the huge monster. Ansius easily caught three pheasants and picked a few wild fruits nearby. He did not stay outside and went straight back to the cave.
It was still early, so Yumi asked Ansius to take a rest as he was not hungry for the time being.
In fact, he wanted to rest. He didn't know why, but he felt particularly sleepy today. To be precise, after coming to the continent of Rhea, his spirits have been getting worse day by day. But it was not obvious in the past few days. Today, he went out for a while and felt particularly tired when he came back.
Yumi thought it was caused by the dampness of the rainy day. He took out the bed sheet from the capsule, spread it on the dried grass, and then lay on it in a "big" shape to bask in the sun. Seeing Anxius coming over, he said to him with half-closed eyelids: "Are you really not going to sleep? Then I'll sleep for a while."
Antheus did not leave the lawn. He dealt with the pheasants nearby, came over to turn over the clothes that had been dried in the sun, and then sat near Yumi's bed sheet, using his wings to drive away mosquitoes.
Yumi woke up after sleeping for half an hour. He was still weak, but his body was warmed by the sun and he felt better. He smelled the aroma of roasted chicken when he was half asleep. Before he woke up, the monster had already squatted beside him with a portion of roasted chicken, cut it into slices with a knife and put it into his mouth: "It's ready."
Yumi thought he was letting her taste it, so she opened her mouth and ate it.
Antheus continued to feed slices of meat into his mouth.
On the live broadcast screen, the monster was feeding meat to the lying man meticulously.
[Sorry for entering by mistake. The paralyzed little handsome boy is so pitiful. The people who take care of him are also very attentive. I wish the little handsome boy a speedy recovery! ]
【？ 】
[I’m really a newbie here]
[You are not mistaken, this is the live broadcast room of "It's Okay to Be Different". Teacher Mi is not paralyzed, he is just tired from hunting wild fruits! ]
[Hunting wild fruits, hahahaha…]
Yumi yawned and sat up. To be honest, he also felt lazy and not very energetic. After thinking about it, apart from the previous dampness, maybe it was also related to the shock?
The roast chicken was delicious. Yumi said thank you and stopped letting Ansius feed her. She got up and followed him to the fire, where she broke the chicken leg and started to eat it with relish.
This time he had a big appetite and ate a whole chicken by himself.
Ansius was very satisfied. After finishing his meal, he went to throw away the food scraps. When he turned around, he found Yumi lying on the lawn again.
Yumi didn't sleep this time. He just wanted to get more sun to make himself feel more energetic.
The Leia continent was still very beautiful after the weather cleared up. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the trees and grass were emerald green, like an oil painting, completely driving away the continuous wind and rain of yesterday.
A few birds flew across the sky. Yumi looked at those ordinary birds and for a moment she felt like she was still in her original world.
After a moment, Antheus lay down beside him.
Two figures, one big and one small, were basking in the sun side by side on the grass.
The afternoon after a full meal was very quiet, and it seemed that there were fewer mosquitoes. Yumi enjoyed this tranquility. He pulled out a long grass and put it to his mouth, feeling that he was also a part of the vibrant wilderness.
After basking in the sun for a while, Antheus gradually felt sleepy. He wanted to take a nap, but was afraid that Yumi would be taken away by wild beasts, so he simply spread his wings and buried the little man under his wings, leaving only the head exposed.
Yumi knew his concerns and lay obediently under his wings. He chuckled and said, "It's like covering yourself with a duvet."
Antheus had closed his eyes, and after hearing that, he thought the little man was hot, and his other wing flapped instinctively.
Yumi stretched and said, "I'm not hot, you should have a good rest."
In a place like this, it is a blessing to be able to eat and drink enough.
Yumi lay there for a while, resting his hands on his neck. He looked at the birds flying together in the sky and the drones. He couldn't help but wonder: Will there really be many people watching the live broadcast? Wouldn't it make the audience sleepy if two people hunted, ate, and slept every day?
Never mind, I’ll just take another nap.
He loves sleeping so much recently, maybe he is growing. Growth is very important. Many boys are still growing in their twenties. Yumi feels that he still has a lot of room for growth.
Thinking of this, he yawned and closed his eyes beautifully.
The day passed relatively peacefully. Yumi ate well and slept well. After the sun went down, he and Ansius put the things back into the cave and laid new hay. The whole cave was filled with the scent of sunshine, which was perfect for sleeping.
Before dark, Yumi lay on her stone table and counted the days: only two days left, and they could leave here.
Time flies by so fast...
He didn't feel reluctant to leave. He wouldn't give up the convenience of life and yearn for this primitive life. Besides, with his body size, he would not be able to survive in the wilderness.
They slept until dawn, and it was the fifth day of their survival partnership.
The weather was still good. Ansius took Yumi to the place where the electric bulls were active. This time he was going to hunt the electric bulls. The electric current of the electric bulls was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Ansius also brought the capsule out. He planned to tie the capsule and Yumi together on a tree branch. In case other wild animals really came, Yumi would just close the door and wait for Ansius inside.
It was not the first time that Yumi waited for Anxius on the tree branch. She had no objection to this arrangement. The two of them went out as usual, but something unexpected happened on the way...
Yumi never expected that she would meet another guest on the show here - the robot Arlo!
Yumi stared at him in astonishment, seemingly doubting whether this was a real guest.
The monster frowned, then quickly walked past the robot as if it hadn't seen the other party at all and continued walking into the woods.
Arlo didn't feel embarrassed at all. He followed them and said, "You are really here. Yumi, why did you turn into an egg?"
Yumi: "...This is a capsule room."
Arlo: "How come you have a capsule room? Did you cheat?"
"No," Yumi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "We found an abandoned shelter. This is inside the shelter."
"You found it." Anxius, who had been silent, suddenly corrected him.
Yumi blushed, and by this time Ansius had found the giant tree where he was placed.
Ansius tied the capsule securely and turned back to glance at the robot with a warning look, but he could see that Arlo had no ill intentions, so he was no longer so vigilant.
To be honest, with someone accompanying Yumi, he could concentrate more on hunting. He turned around and checked the binding of the capsule room, and after making sure there was no problem, he quickly walked towards the direction of the electric bull.
On this side of the woods, only Yumi and Arlo were left.
Yumi poked her head out of the capsule and looked at the lone robot curiously: "Where is your partner?"
"Arlo doesn't like a partner. Arlo wants to live on his own!" The robot seemed very happy that he was talking to him, and stayed under the tree. "Yummi, you live in a bird's nest. It looks very safe."
"This is a capsule room," Yumi emphasized again, and continued to ask him, "How did you get here? The production team should have separated us far apart, right?"
"Arlo can sense the location of the drone. After leaving Jinwen's nest, Arlo followed the direction of the nearest drone and came here." The robot gave him a standard smile, "Arlo and Yumi are very destined!"
Yumi couldn't laugh. Even for a robot, it would take a long time to walk such a long distance. He asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Arlo can absorb the sun. There was sun yesterday, and Arlo walked very fast."
Having touched upon a blind spot in knowledge, Yumi was very surprised: "...You are too amazing." In other words, this robot will not lose even if it stays in the Rhea continent without food or water?
A blush appeared on the robot's face.
Having not seen anyone other than Ansius for several days, Yumi was not opposed to Arlo's appearance, and could even be said to be very happy. Arlo loved to talk, and Yumi also loved to chat, and soon, they magically chatted with each other, chattering about their own experiences.
[Arlo actually ran to Yumi and Louis' side! If it wasn't a live broadcast, I would definitely think it was a script... God knows how far away they are! ]
[Arlo is a robot. If he were a normal person, he would be exhausted... By the way, is Jinwen okay? ]
[I watched the live broadcast over there, and it seems that they are looking for Arlo...]
[The painter has gone crazy now, haha, using the blood of his prey to paint on the rock wall...]
[How do Yumi and Arlo manage to keep talking to each other even though they are not on the same channel? ]
[Back to the above, two chatterboxes can do it]
【Where is Teacher Mi talking too much? 】
[If you were to stay outdoors for a week, you would become talkative when you see people! ]
[What do you mean, Louis is not a human? I am so disappointed! ]
[Stop arguing, Louis over there succeeded! What a wonderful hunt! ]
When Louis came back carrying the electric bull, Youmi had basically understood the circumstances of Arlo's running away from home. The other party did not have any conflicts with Jinwen, but he was just not used to working together, so they each "went solo".
This program does not force partners to work together from beginning to end, so there is no rule that if you "go solo", you will be considered a failure. After all, the program team also secretly hopes that there will be some guests causing trouble, quarreling and fighting.
Antheus came back, Yumi looked at Arlo and then at Antheus.
Ansius saw Yumi and the robot chatting happily from a distance. He didn't mind the existence of robots. He needed to hunt here, and he would not be unwilling if there could be one more person watching Yumi.
Receiving the signal from Ansius' eyes, Yumi immediately asked Arlo: "Do you want to go with us?"
The robot nodded, "Arlo can follow Yumi."
In this way, the three of them returned to the cave together.
The robot seemed to be visiting someone's new home. It walked back and forth in the cave for a few times and came out to comment: "The cave is very clean."
Yumi made "fruit tea" to entertain Arlo: "Thank you."
Arlo doesn't actually need to drink water, but he likes to eat and drink if he has the conditions. After drinking the "fruit tea", he started to look for hay to make his own nest.
Yumi went to help him and gave him some advice: "This place faces the sun, why don't you lay the pavement here?"
After spreading the hay, Ansius over there had already roughly processed the electric bull and started cutting it and putting it on the fire rack.
Yumi took Arlo to see it, and he asked, "Arlo, have you ever eaten electric beef?"
Arlo shook his head.
Yumi thought for a moment and said, "It's very tender and delicious." Then he threw the firewood into the fire. Suddenly he thought of something and ran back to the cave. He found the sour green fruit, glanced at Ansius, smiled and squeezed the meat on the fire rack, "I wonder if it will taste better..."
Antheus understood his intention, took the green fruit from his hand, crushed it with one claw, and poured all the juice onto the meat.
Arlo was stunned.
After the aroma came out of the roast, just like at the beginning, Ansius cut Yumi into small pieces and placed them on the leaves. As for Arlo's, he tore off a part and handed it to the other party without paying any more attention to it.
Arlo's eyes widened as he ate. He couldn't eat too much, and that piece of meat was enough for him to taste.
"Electric beef, delicious." said Arlo.
The three of them were eating around the barbecue. Yumi felt like they were at a party. He saw Arlo eating too fast and was afraid that he would choke, so he hurriedly said, "Slow down, or you'll burp."
"Arlo hasn't fully taken human form yet, so he can't burp." With that, the robot swallowed up the remaining chunks of meat.
Yumi was full of admiration. After finishing the delicious beef, he was about to suggest eating some fruit together, but Arlo, who was always happy to eat, offered to help him: "There is a fun place. Do you want Arlo to take you there?"
Antheus looked at Yumi.
Yumi was stunned and asked, "Where?"
Arlo pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's very safe and fun. You'll know when you go there."
When you are bored, no one can resist going to an unknown but fun place.
"Okay, since we have nothing to do, let's go take a look."
Before leaving, Arlo thought of another fun idea. He set his eyes on the vines on the capsule house and decided to use the vines as a means of transportation, padding the room with hay and pulling Yumi over.
The good news is that this idea was adopted by Ansius as soon as it was put forward. He made a small cart with vines, let Yumi sit on it, and pulled the vines to follow Arlo forward.
The bad news is that Allo can't pull it! All we can do is watch!
When encountering a downhill slope, the vine car would slide down very quickly, even pulling Anxius forward.
When sliding down the slope for the first time, Yumi and Arlo in front of him both laughed and thought it was fun.
When he encountered a downhill slope for the second time, Ansius simply shortened the vines, quickened his pace, and reached the flat road at the same time as the vine car.
Seeing the joy in Louis' eyes, Yumi felt a little regretful. When he was a kid, he and his friends would use skis to push each other on the snow whenever it snowed heavily. It was very interesting. If he wasn't so different in size from Louis and Arlo, he would also like to pull them and let them feel the joy of flying.
[I see. Louie is a lawn sled dog, right?]
[Just don't drag Teacher Mi into the pit! ]
[Arlo feels so wronged. It was clearly his idea, but in the end he couldn't get anyone to support him...]
[Teacher Mi's eyes, is she trying to pull Louis? No! ]
【Anyone with a dream is amazing! Go ahead, Teacher Mi! 】
[Mimi, you don’t have to be so stubborn. If nothing goes well, you can go to Lava Mountain and marry into a wealthy family! [Yulong makes a heart gesture]]
【？ 】
…
Arlo and Antheus were both walking fast, and after nearly an hour, they stopped in front of a bush.
The ground was filled with patches of light and not far away there was the sound of flowing water.
Yumi got off the vine car and saw a very tall bush surrounded by some brightly colored stones. The scenery was better than that at the cave, with more plant species. The bush in front of him looked different from the bushes he had encountered before.
"There's a maze in the bushes," said Arlo. "I played the maze game in there for a long time before I found you." After he said that, he pointed to the exit in front that had obviously been crawled through by someone.
Yumi walked towards the entrance half-believingly. There were indeed many intricate corridors inside. It was truly a natural maze.
Arlo said, "Yumi go in and hide, Arlo will go find you."
...Hide and seek? Yumi smiled and wanted to try it, but when he walked into the bushes and looked up accidentally, his smile disappeared.
He saw Ansius's horns above him, and Arlo's back as he turned away...
Yumi: “…”
He walked out and said, "This is not fair. You are taller and can definitely see me from above."
"No! Arlo hasn't seen it yet!" After saying that, he realized he was exposed and covered his mouth.
“…”
Anxius pursed his lips and said nothing. He did need to keep an eye on the other person to prevent any accidents.
Yumi: "...Forget it, I'd better play the maze." He turned and went back into the bushes, hesitated for a while at the fork in the road, and chose a path to go forward.
After walking for a while, they actually found a pheasant that had heard the noise and ran away at a fork in the road. Both the man and the chicken were frightened. The chicken ran away, and the man continued to move forward with a knife.
It was said to be a maze game, but Yumi also picked up a lot of things along the way, including beautiful feathers, nice little stones, and some fruit shells.
The maze game turned into a treasure hunt.
Yumi enjoys it. In the past, when he was bored, he could play Tetris for a whole day. This immersive "adventure" game is much more fun than Tetris. He even forgets the time when he is addicted to it.
When he encountered a smaller corridor, Yumi would crawl forward, occasionally calling out Louis and Arlo's names to make sure they were still there.
Outside the bushes, Arlo stood on tiptoe and looked at the little man crawling in the bushes. He was about to put one hand through the bushes in front of the other person to scare him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was fanned dizzy by a black wing.
Arlo explained guiltily at the time: "Arlo didn't mean to scare him. Arlo just thought he was cute and wanted to poke him."
“…”
After beating up the bear robot, the monster quietly approached Yumi's position. He looked at Yumi who was having trouble making a choice at the fork in the road, slowly spread his wings, and suddenly wanted to play with him...
