Chapter 586 - Sea, Mud, Zero

Hearing Yuan Lei's question, everyone was sure that the relationship between the two is not harmonious. Even if Yuan Lei was trying to maintain her smile, the meaning behind her words was clear.

Xie Ming on the other hand didn't heed to her words and said, " Hmm, you're right. How can you believe my words when you know nothing about cooking much less about edible herbs." She said while nodding understandingly.

"?If you think that this food can cause you food poisoning then don't eat. You can make your food yourself. Also, about the herbs, if they are edible or not, you can ask anyone in the village about it. Because the people in the village must know about it. Since they are locals here, they would know what kind of herbs these are. By then this matter clears, you can make your food yourself." Xie Ming said casually as she picked up her chopsticks and took some stirred veggies to eat.

Everyone stared at Xie Ming and then at Jian Yan who was continually eating. They were hungry and the food looked delicious.

" I believe that Xie Ming won't put anything in the food without knowing what it is. So I am going to eat it." Qin Bi picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

Seeing her acting like this, Lian Jun followed suit and when Sun Wen also started eating, others had no choice to do so. Also, they were so hungry that they could eat anything at that moment. They won't even mind if she has put those herbs randomly.

"-_-"

Yuan Lei pursed her lips and felt betrayed. They all left her and started eating while she was staring at them with her hungry eyes.

After staring at them for 5 minutes, she finally picked up her bowl as well. She tried to be as quiet as possible while eating.

Xie Ming saw her actions and her lips curled up in a mocking smile. She likes food and wants to eat it but she won't stop causing trouble.

Qin Bi scoffed and was about to say something but was stopped by Sun Wen. He doesn't want people to feel that they are trying to corner Yuan Lei. People should see Yuan Lei's true attitude themself.

….

In the evening, everyone has to play games to get the ingredients from the crew. The team has been divided into two groups mixed with the members of the regular cast and the eternal love.

Xie Ming, Wu Sheng, Jian Yan, Qin Bi, and Sun Wen were in one team.

While Yuan Lei, Lian Jun, and two other regular members in one team. Since Yuan Lei's team had fewer members, she created quite a fuss and in the end, Wu Sheng was sent to Yuan Lei's team and Xie Ming's team decided to play with the four members against 5.

The game was a treasure hunt and they had to search the food items that have been hidden by the crew members in the house at certain places and by following the hints they need to find their food.

The treasure hunt has 10 stages and whichever team completes the10 stages, they will be given an imported meat set and ingredients for a feast.

On the other hand, the losing team will only get to eat whatever items they have searched during the game.

Yuan Lei was uninterested in such trash games but she had no choice but to play.

After getting the cue cards, Xie Ming's team gathered in the corner to discuss the clue. It was a pictorial puzzle in which a few pictures were shown on the card.

" Sea, mud, Zero." Qin Bi spoke aloud.

" What kind of clue is that? It's not even a map." Sun Wen said annoyingly.

He glanced at Jian Yan and Xie Ming who were thinking about something.

" You got it?" Jian Yan asked Xie Ming when he saw her smile.

She nodded and walked towards the back courtyard. When Yuan Lei's team was busy understanding the pictures, Xie Ming's team walked towards their first target.

They both have one cue card and to get their second cue card they have to clear the first riddle. The puzzles they have are the same but in a different order.

" The answer was a water well? How did you figure it out?" Qin Bi asked in confusion when they picked up their first clue.

Xie Ming replied while opening the other cue, " It's simple. Sea means water, mud means something related to ground and zero means circle. In the whole house, this water well is the only thing which comprises all three things."

Qin Bi nodded and glanced at Jian Yan and said, " You also knew it,?right?"

Jian Yan nodded and said, " It wasn't even that hard."

Qin Bi: "-_-"

Sun Wen: "-_-"

They were blank when they were given the cue cards while these two guessed it right in a few minutes. Are these two people unusually smart or is it just they are on the dumber side?

Xie Ming's team found all the cue cards and solved all the riddles first and that too in 15 minutes. While the other team was able to solve only two clues at that time.

Though Sun wen and Qin Bi wanted to torture the other team however, Xie Ming wanted to share the prize with everyone so everyone ate marinated grilled meat for dinner.

The dinner was hearty and the atmosphere was cheery as they ate the delicious dinner made by Xie Ming. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

…..

After that everyone was preparing to sleep and the girls were supposed to sleep in one room while boys in the other one.

When Yuan Lei and Qin Bi fell asleep in the room, Xie Ming came out of the house and was taking a walk in the courtyard.

She was walking around as she couldn't sleep without Liwei.

" You didn't sleep yet?"

She was startled when she heard a manly voice from behind.

She turned around and was surprised to see Jian Yan standing there while wearing a casual t-shirt and black color pajama.

She was also wearing a set of pajamas that were not protecting her from the night wind.

November is about to start and the weather has turned chilly already. Though it was not that chilly in the day however, the night breeze was especially cold and chilly.

" I came for a walk. But what are you doing here?" She asked as she walked to him while rubbing her arms.

He looked at her and pursed his lips seeing her shivering in the cold. He gritted his teeth as he realized that he wasn't wearing any jacket either.

" Why are you roaming here at night wearing thin clothes, when it's so cold outside?" He asked worriedly.

His hands were twitching as he wanted to hug her but he knew his limits. He stood opposite to her while staring at her with his complicated gaze.

There were lights in the courtyard so it was that dark. The cameras in the house were off but she wasn't aware that there was another camera in the courtyard.
