Chapter 27: Behind the Book



When Huo Shen saw these messages, it was already afternoon.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the postures and distances of the two people, and sneered softly.

Li Yining, who was at the inn, was really a little angry. She knew it had nothing to do with Huo Shen, and she admitted that it was the original owner who was scolded by netizens. But Xi Zitong was targeting Huo Shen, right?

She couldn't understand why Xi Zitong targeted her, just because she knew Huo Shen. If she knew they were husband and wife, would she kill her?

When thinking of this possibility, Li Yining felt like laughing. It was not impossible that he hired a killer to kill himself.

Just as I was thinking about it, Zhang Ya's message came again.

Zhang Ya: [What the hell! Ning Ning! Didn’t Xixixi eat the braised pork you made?]

Li Yining: […How come you are so well-informed?]

Zhang Ya: [I saw it with my sharp eyes, and I know exactly the look on your face when you were picking up the trash!]

Zhang Ya: [Also, do you know why she likes to eat braised pork? ]

Li Yining raised his eyebrows: [Why? ]

Zhang Ya: [Because Brother Huo Shen likes to eat it! It is one of Brother Huo Shen’s favorite dishes! ]

Li Yining: [……]

Zhang Ya: [Do you think she is scheming or not? ]

Li Yining had been trying to comfort himself and make himself laugh, but now after reading this news, he suddenly became even angrier and more unhappy.

The dish she prepared in half an hour, although not meticulously cooked, still took a lot of thought. Looking at the small spot on her wrist that was swollen from the oil splashing out, Li Yining pondered for a while, took out her cell phone, took a photo, and sent it to Huo Shen.

Li Yining: [Compensation.]

Although I can't get angry openly, it's okay to ask for some compensation.

Of course, the more important point is that Li Yining is not quite sure what the situation is between Huo Shen and Xi Zitong, and he doesn't dare to complain casually like he did with He Shengyuan.

Huo Shen: [? ]

Li Yining: [Do you know Xi Zitong? ]

Huo Shen: [Who?]

Li Yining was choked. Looking at the word "who" that did not recognize any relatives, he really wanted to cry and laugh.

Li Yining: [You don’t know? Don’t know? Don’t remember? ]

Huo Shen: [Yes.]

Li Yining: [The scar on her wrist was caused by cooking for her. Shouldn't you give her some compensation? ]

After posting it, Li Yining actually felt a little guilty.

She estimated that Huo Shen would think she was mentally ill.

The next second, Huo Shen's phone rang directly.

She was stunned and looked around before answering the call.

"Hello." Li Yining turned off the microphone and asked in a low voice, "What are you calling me about?"

Huo Shen sat in the office, glanced at the live broadcast not far away, looked at the sneaky man holding his phone, sneered, pulled his tie and asked slowly: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Yining was completely confused by him.

"Compensation."

Hearing this, Li Yining immediately became lively and said, "Don't you understand? I burned my hand while cooking for your friend. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

Huo Shen paused for a moment, and then said after a while: "We are not friends."

Li Yining: “…”

Hearing this, I felt inexplicably pleased and a little bit excited.

But she soon calmed herself down.

She murmured quietly, "Who knows if she is not a friend?" She said, "Zhang Ya just told me."

She didn't even wait for Huo Shen to ask who Zhang Ya was, and continued to talk: "The reason why Xi Zitong likes to eat braised pork is because you like it, so I think the responsibility of this matter ultimately lies with you, what do you think?"

Mr. Huo actually didn't agree. He thought what Xi Zitong liked to eat had nothing to do with him.

He felt that Li Yining was being unreasonable. He paused, and was about to refuse, when the camera in the live broadcast room showed the woman standing on a small lawn, holding a mobile phone in one hand and half-raising the other hand in front of her eyes, lowering her head and blowing gently.

The photographer followed Li Yining. The woman in the camera had fair skin and long, curly eyelashes that were clearly visible, like a small fan. She was frowning slightly, as if it really hurt.

"Speak."

Li Yining didn't dare to call people's names directly, for fear of being heard by the photographer.

Huo Shen pinched his brows and pursed his lips: "What did you say?"

Li Yining choked and could not refute: "Shouldn't you compensate me? To mend my fragile heart."

Huo Shen said "hmm" lightly: "But she has nothing to do with me."

Li Yining: “…”

She was so angry at Huo Shen that she was about to vomit blood. Just when she was about to say "Forget it", Fang Wenlin called her, "Ningning, come and have some fruit."

Li Yining quickly responded, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Huo Shen's response.

Huo Shen: “…”

Looking at the hung up call, then looking at the image on the big screen not far away, he sneered very softly.

——

Everyone rested together in the afternoon, and in the afternoon Li Yining and a few others were responsible for taking the tourists out to play.

There are quite a lot of contradictions.

The two guests who came today were also relatively picky. They were afraid of getting tired, but they also wanted to have fun.

As for Xi Zitong, Li Yining felt that she was picking faults, but she just pretended not to feel anything. As long as she wasn't too blatant, she didn't care.

When the seven people walked to a scenic spot, one of the guests said he was tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Xi Zitong also nodded: "I feel like drinking some water."

Li Yining looked down and said, "We have finished drinking the water we brought with us."

Fang Wenlin also looked at Xi Zitong: "Can you bear with it?"

Xi Zitong nodded and pursed her dry lips: "How long will it take before we can go down?"

"We haven't reached our destination yet."

Hearing this, another guest was a little disappointed: "How long will it take? Why can't cars drive in here?"

She looked around and said, "So we have to keep going until we reach our destination."

Jiang Yuan checked the route and said softly, "We'll be there in half an hour. Just hang in there, it'll be quick."

Another person sighed: "I don't want to go anymore."

"But I want to go. Now that I'm here, why don't I go and take a look?"

All of a sudden, the two of them disagreed.

Tong Ran looked at Xi Zitong: "Teacher Xi, do you want some water? I'll go see if there's a store nearby."

Jiang Yuan: "Don't go alone, I'll go with you, and leave this to Brother Lin and the others."

Xi Zitong smiled helplessly: "Okay, thank you for your help."

“It should be.”

After Tong Ran and Jiang Yuan left, there were only five of them left here.

Two of them were still arguing about whether to move forward or not. Li Yining, as the only female waitress among them, could only mediate.

However, it was of no use for half a day.

"I'm not going. I'm going back now."

One of them said this, dropped his things, and walked angrily to the other side.

"Hey, wait!"

Li Yining subconsciously wanted to catch the man, but Fang Wenlin quickly said, "I'll go, you just stay here and watch over them."

Li Yining: “…”

Suddenly, there were only three people left.

Li Yining looked at the two of them and said, "Teacher Xi, do you still plan to go?"

Xi Zitong smiled slightly: "I am planning to do it. I really want to go and take a look."

She looked at Li Yining, sighed and said, "I just don't know when Tong Ran and the others will come back."

Another person said: "Why don't we just go ahead and send them a message?"

Li Yining shook his head: "But the signal here is intermittent. I'm afraid they can't see it, and it's not safe for both of us."

“Isn’t there a photography teacher here?”

Li Yining still insisted on not leaving first, and the other guest also got angry and stood up and said, "If you don't leave, we will leave first. Teacher Xi, do you want to leave with us?"

Xi Zitong stood up with a slightly distressed look and said something persuasive: "Why don't you wait a few more minutes?"

"No need to wait. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return. If we go there now, we can even see the sun setting."

Having said that, the man also walked away with his schoolbag on his back.

Xi Zitong was stunned and looked at Li Yining: "Hurry up and catch up, the guests are the first."

Li Yining: “…”

Really, if it wasn't in the wilderness, she would have stopped long ago.

Li Yining followed and called Tong Ran.

Although the two disliked each other, life safety was still the most important thing. It was a pity... the call didn't go through.

The other guest was rushing around, and after walking for more than ten minutes, they were still lost.

Fans in the live broadcast room watched these scenes one after another, all of them were stunned.

[No, why are you leaving? ]

[Fuck, I have to say that Li Yining has a pretty good temper. If I had, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago. Are these two guests crazy? One said he would not go and the other said he would leave. Don’t the inn staff need to be responsible for you?]

【Teacher Xi's face turned pale, so pitiful.】

[Wuwuwuwu, Teacher Xi still has no water to drink. Where are the two people who bought water? 】

[I have a feeling that something will happen to them...]

…………

The netizen's premonition was the same as Li Yining's. She also felt that something was going to happen.

After going around and around and back to the starting point, the female guest lost her temper again.

Li Yining patiently comforted him and looked at the photography teacher: "Teacher, where are we going? Can you give us a hint? You will get into trouble if you keep doing this."

The photography teacher was also confused: "I really don't know."

Li Yining: "I know you are not allowed to reveal it, and you want to see our predicament, but the problem is that we are lost. Are you planning to trap us for a day?"

The photography teacher doesn't speak.

Xi Zitong was also very annoyed. She couldn't help but complain: "Is the navigation useless?"

Li Yining shook his head: "The network here is very poor, and the electricity is about to run out."

"Didn't you bring a power bank?"

"With Tong Ran."

She frowned, looking a little desperate.

After a while, Li Yining gave up.

The phone turned off automatically.

Xi Zitong paused and looked at her: "Didn't you say that your family has a ranch here? Are you not familiar with this place at all?"

She paused and said, "Can't you contact them and pick us up?"

Li Yining looked at her with amusement: "Teacher Xi, what are you thinking about? My phone is out of battery now, how can I contact people?"

Xi Zitong sighed and muttered, "I should have called when the electricity came back. I should have been prepared."

Li Yining said nothing.

She did it, but one of them wanted to run away and the other wanted to leave. Who could control them?

After thinking for a while, Li Yining turned to look at the camera: "Are you still live streaming here now?"

The photographer was stunned for a moment: "I think so."

Li Yining said "Oh" and waved his hand: "I need help, Uncle Xu, I'm trapped, if you are watching the live broadcast, remember to find someone to rescue me! Wuwuwuwu, your little cutie is hungry, thirsty and sleepy, do you hear me!! "

She thought for a moment and called out another name: "Zhang Ya! I know you must be watching the live broadcast, remember to call Uncle Xu for me!!! Hurry up!! If you don't call, you won't be able to see me anymore!"

Zhang Ya, who was watching the live broadcast at home, rolled her eyes fiercely.

Speechless!

She snorted arrogantly, looked at Li Yining's frantic look, first took screenshots frantically, and then reluctantly took out her cell phone to call Li Yining's home.

"What? Uncle Xu isn't home?"

"Yes, Miss Zhang, Uncle Xu went out at noon."

"Huh? Where did you go?"

The servant paused and said, "I'm not sure."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ya looked at the poor little thing in the camera again and suddenly realized the importance of the matter.

After thinking about it, she picked up her bag and asked the driver to take her to the Huo Group.

——

After Li Yining finished shouting at the camera, the guests and Xi Zitong couldn't help but laugh at her.

“Does your family watch the live broadcast?”

"Um."

Xi Zitong paused and said in a low voice: "Even if you can see, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire."

Hearing this, Li Yining smiled and said, "It can be saved. It would be great if we had a plane."

Xi Zitong choked up, thinking that Li Yining was exaggerating: "Can a helicopter be deployed whenever you want?"

Li Yining said nothing.

Fans watching the live broadcast also fell into deep thought.

[I also want to ask... Is what Li Yining did just now useful? 】

[Li Yining is really too pretentious. I wish there was a plane. I'll see if her family has a plane to rescue her.]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's still realistic, Teacher Xi. Is Li Yining living in a fantasy, expecting a helicopter to come over in a place like this? 】

【Wait——what sound is that?】

Everyone was stunned, and even Li Yining and the others heard the movement in the air.

Several people looked up together, and one of the photographers also pointed the camera at the sky. Suddenly, a small helicopter came into view.

It's even getting closer and closer, and the pressure is getting lower and lower.

Suddenly, a strange male voice came from the sky.

"Miss! We are here to take you home. Take a rest first. We will be there soon."

Li Yining waved his hands excitedly, smiling with a smile on his face: "Okay."

Audience: “???”

Program team: “???”

Here we go again? ! ! !
