Chapter 78 Ask Heaven to Distinguish Loyalty and Treachery
Chapter 78 Ask Heaven to Distinguish Loyalty and Treachery
The sound of the waves gently awakens the sleeping soul.
Lin Zhihao stared as the messy-haired man emerged from the tent and stretched.
He turned his head and exclaimed, "Ah!! A ghost!!!"
Di Meng suddenly crawled out of the tent, got into a fighting stance, and shouted, "Where? Where's the ghost? Take this combo!"
“It’s me, Lou-ge!” Xiao Yuan stared at her two huge dark circles under her eyes, yawning incessantly, staring blankly at the sea.
Lin Zhihao brushed a stray hair from Xiaoyuan's forehead. "My goodness, did you go fishing in the sea last night?"
Lin Zhihao's hand was slapped away. Xiao Yuan sat on the ground with her head down, as if all her energy had been drained away.
Liu Manlin stretched and came out, only to see Lin Zhihao talking to a girl with her back to her.
With a look of disgust on her face, she spoke in a shrill voice, "Who is it? This hairstyle looks like it's been hit by a fart."
Xiao Yuan slowly turned her head, her face filled with despair.
"Ah!! A ghost!"
Liu Manlin was startled and took a few deep breaths before realizing that the woman in front of her, with messy hair, a sallow complexion, and large dark circles under her eyes, was not a ghost.
"What are you doing! You scared me to death!" Liu Manlin glared at Xiao Yuan and swayed away.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were vacant. After tying a small bun on top of her head, Lin Zhihao uncertainly poked Xiao Yuan's cheek with her fingertip, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you, and you?" Lin Zhihao replied mechanically, her eyes glazed over.
Lin Zhihao: "..."
"Why don't you go back and get some rest?"
Xiao Yuan scratched her hair haphazardly. "I'm fine."
Then I walked away to wash up.
Seeing Xiao Yuan's actions, Di Meng couldn't help but laugh. Lin Zhihao glanced at him indifferently, and he immediately covered his mouth.
Life on the island was full of challenges; early in the morning, the issue of base allocation began.
Berlin, carrying a megaphone, read out the auction rules for the base to a group of guests who had their heads buried in their collars.
"Good morning, everyone, whether you're awake or not. Today, we face the first test of our island life: the base auction."
"As announced yesterday, our guests need to earn their own living expenses on the island, and I believe everyone has heard about that..."
Berlin, brimming with energy, announced the rules through a megaphone. Lin Zhihao, equally energetic, ran and walked around the beach, while Di Meng followed behind her, imitating her.
Watching Lin Zhihao pass by her again and again, Xiao Yuan nodded her head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Lin Zhihao ran up to her and started jogging in place. "Da Yuanzi, if you really can't take a nap, why don't you go back to sleep?"
Xiao Yuan opened her eyes wide and said, "I'm not sleepy."
"..."
Following behind Lin Zhihao, Di Meng pried open Xiao Yuan's eyes, saying, "Why are your upper eyelids fighting with your lower eyelids?"
Xiao Yuan pushed Di Meng's hand away, stood up from the chair, and jumped up and down, "I'm not sleepy! I'm not sleepy!"
"Alright, alright, go take a nap. I'll take care of today's work." Lin Zhihao pushed Xiaoyuan into the tent.
Only after Lin Zhihao said that did Xiaoyuan feel relieved enough to take a nap, but unfortunately, she felt relieved too soon.
When she woke up, she saw Shi Xingchen on camera with her makeup largely gone, her hair disheveled, and almost bare-faced, clumsily moving wood, with faint traces of white soup on her temples.
Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded.
Shi Xingchen is a very good-looking celebrity!!
After searching the entire area without finding Lin Zhihao, Xiaoyuan was devastated. "What happened to 'don't worry'!"
She's supposed to be the manager, but she's even lazier than her assistant!
After pacing around twice in frustration and still not finding Lin Zhihao, Xiaoyuan had no choice but to ask Aba for help.
Aba pointed towards the woods not far away without even looking up, and Xiaoyuan immediately sprinted there at top speed.
Standing in the grove, Xiao Yuan still couldn't find Lin Zhihao.
Just as I was about to turn and leave, I suddenly heard a goose calling from above.
A goose growing in a tree?
Looking up, she saw the protagonist she had been searching for so long lying on a tree, trying to find a bird's nest.
Presumably due to a bountiful harvest, it kept emitting terrifying laughter, "Oh ho ho ho ho, goose goose goose goose goose."
Xiao Yuan stared at the two people in the tree with a smile on her face.
Di Meng felt a chill on his buttocks and asked, "Lou, why does my butt feel a little cold?"
Lin Zhihao didn't even turn her head. "Your butt is supposed to be cold. If it's hot, you have a fever."
Di Meng nodded, "Oh, but my back is starting to feel cold too."
Di Meng tugged at his coat; he had listened to his father and was wearing long johns.
Lin Zhihao was diligently searching for bird nests when she suddenly felt a chill run down her back. "Hey. You know what, my back is a little cold too."
I glanced down casually and met the gaze of a small circle under the tree.
Xiao Yuan narrowed her eyes and waved to Lin Zhihao in the tree with a forced smile.
Lin Zhihao: "..."
On the beach, Lin Zhihao, Di Meng, and Shi Xingchen stood in a row, heads bowed and meek.
With bird eggs tucked into her arms, Lin Zhihao tentatively asked, "Da Yuanzi, you're awake? Want some... some eggs?"
Xiao Yuan remained silent, continuing to scan the three people in front of her.
The three of them pushed each other, but no one spoke.
Lin Zhihao unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Xiaoyuan, saying, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, drink some water."
"Well, the main thing is that Xingchen is a self-disciplined artist who takes good care of himself. Besides, he's naturally beautiful and looks good even without makeup, so the audience won't care about these details."
"Moreover, the matter of raiding bird nests is actually..." Lin Zhihao, who was about to argue that she hadn't paid attention to Shi Xingchen's condition because she was raiding bird nests, saw the girl on the chair chugging down a bottle of water.
He suddenly crushed the bottle.
Lin Zhihao looked at the bottle and decisively changed her tune, "Di Meng took me there. I didn't want to go, but he insisted on dragging me. With my small frame, I couldn't possibly climb up, but he forced me to."
Di Meng, who had forcibly pulled Lin Zhihao up the tree, stared at Lin Zhihao in shock. 'This... he's using all my lines!'
Shi Xingchen, her face completely bare of makeup, wiped the sweat from her brow. "It's okay, it's just a little bit off, no one will..."
Just as Shi Xingchen was about to speak up for Lin Zhihao, she was met with a sharp glare.
Shi Xingchen: "!!"
Shi Xingchen, who was originally going to say something nice, suddenly changed the subject and said, "Brother Lou, really, it's one thing that I didn't notice while filming the show, but why didn't you pay attention at all!"
Lin Zhihao, who was being directly confronted by Shi Xingchen for the first time since they met, exclaimed, "Huh?"
"This is outrageous! We're working, why are you raiding bird nests! Look how angry Sister Yuan is."
As she spoke, she went behind Xiaoyuan and massaged her temples. Shi Xingchen gave Lin Zhihao a look.
Lin Zhihao immediately grabbed Xiaoyuan's sleeve and admitted her mistake, "Yes, yes, I won't take it next time, okay? I'll definitely work hard next time, okay, Dayuanzi?"
Seeing that the two were in a good mood, Xiao Yuan finally stopped saying anything. Just then, the production team notified them to start filming, and Shi Xingchen returned to the recording venue.
Looking at Di Meng, who was standing in front of her and had successfully shielded her from the sun, Xiao Yuan glanced at him up and down, then turned to Lin Zhihao and said, "Don't listen to him next time. It's too dangerous to raid bird nests."
"That's right, that's right, I definitely won't listen next time." Lin Zhihao hugged Xiaoyuan's arm and nodded repeatedly.
Before leaving, the two exchanged a knowing glance with Di Meng, then lowered their heads and said something unintelligible.
Di Meng, who had been refusing but was still threatened by Lin Zhihao into climbing the tree: "!!!!"
My heart is filled with unbearable sorrow; I beg Heaven to judge the loyal from the treacherous!
