Bai Xi was taking initiative, but Yan Ruo’s reaction was very cold.
“I’m sorry, I don’t really like having physical contact with people.” His gaze was indifferent. “Besides, my wounds are almost healed.”
Bai Xi clenched the tube of ointment tightly. “But jiejie…”
At the mention of Bai Lin, Yan Ruo’s expression softened. “She’s allowed.”
[Best Actor Yan’s bias: my hands are only for my wife to touch!]
[You lost your mind shipping people? Which eye of yours could tell that Yan Ruo likes Bai Lin? Bai Lin is so tall, only a little shorter than Yan Ruo. It’s not like Bai Xi and Yan Ruo’s perfect height difference where they look harmonious standing together.]
[Oh dear, I can smell the jealousy of Bai Xi’s fans even through the internet. Even if your Xixi-meimei clings herself to Yan Ruo, she wouldn’t be able to get a single look from him.]
Bai Xi still wanted to say something, but Yan Ruo interrupted her and said very politely, “I’m sorry. I’m going to help Xiao Lin. You should carry on as well.”
Then, as if he was avoiding the plague, he quickly left Bai Xi’s side.
Bai Xi stared at Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo who were following behind Bai Lin, her nails digging into her palm.
She took a deep breath and returned to the set with her back to the camera.
Bai Lin was such an eyesore. As long as she was around, Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang would not be able to see her.
She had to think of a way to get Bai Lin out of the game first so that she would have a better chance.
Bai Xi’s eyes glinted. When Fan Feng finished packing his luggage and called her, he happened to see her unfamiliar expression.
It disappeared in a blink of an eye, though, and Bai Xi smiled gently at him and asked, “Are you done? Let’s go.”
Bai Lin was not interested in what Bai Xi wanted to do with Yan Ruo, so she left directly to build a house when Bai Xi came to him.
Through the hard work of Bai Xi’s group for the entire afternoon, Bai Lin obtained enough building materials. She nimbly arranged the bamboos together and tied them tightly with tough thatched grass. With the help of Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo, the house was built in just two hours.
Although it was not big, it was more than enough to sleep the four of them.
After having a place to stay, Bai Lin began to weave a straw raincoat.
Lin Sen came over with a big bundle of banana leaves and asked curiously, “The weather is great now. It doesn’t look like it’s going to rain.”
Bai Lin glanced at him and was too lazy to explain. She simply handed him the straw raincoat that had just taken shape in her hands, gathered a new pile of materials, and began to weave again.
“Talk less and work more.” Bai Lin’s fingers went up and down, not as delicate as Bai Xi’s. “Follow and learn. The sooner you finish, the sooner I’ll let you go back.”
Lin Sen’s eyes could hardly keep up with Bai Lin’s movements. After watching for a while, he managed to learn it and began to weave it clumsily. “Even if it’s going to rain, you don’t have to make so many of them, right?”
“Who said they’re for us?” Bai Lin chuckled.
Lin Sen was not someone who liked to get to the bottom of things, but Bai Lin’s actions were too difficult to guess. It made him want to find out more.
But Bai Lin did not want to talk anymore, and he did not feel comfortable to ask more questions. He lowered his head and sped up his work of making the straw raincoats.
In the evening, Bai Lin roasted the rabbit and bird she had hunted. The five of them ate and prepared to rest.
The bamboo house was divided into two floors. Bai Lin and Jin Ran slept together, while Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang slept above them; Lin Sen slept in the tent.
Bai Lin did not redeem any insect repellent spray. Instead, she used the collected branches and leaves to make a mosquito-repellent incense and lit it. The effect was excellent. As soon as the mosquitoes got close, they would fall off in a daze.
All was quiet, and only the light sound of breathing could be heard in the bamboo house. It was exceptionally peaceful.
Bai Lin suddenly opened her eyes. She silently rolled out of bed, put on her straw raincoat, and walked out.
On the other side, Bai Xi’s group who had been rushing their way for some time stopped and set up their tents on the spot as night fell.
They did not have any experience surviving in the wild. Previously, they had only managed to set up their tents because of the provided guidance. Now that they had to rely on themselves, they were instantly stunned.
They had to set up three tents in total, but they were not done even after a long time. They had used up all the insect repellent spray too, and the drones to replenish them had yet to arrive. They were about to break down from the mosquito bites, not to mention that they were tired and sleepy.
The howls of wolves could be heard from somewhere far away, but it was still creepy.
Zhao Yuan tightly held Bai Xi’s hand and asked shakily, “Xixi, did you hear that? It sounds like a wolf…”
Bai Xi was also a little scared and replied with uncertainty, “Maybe it’s the sound of leaves rustling, or the sound of some insects. I don’t think the production team will release the wolves without informing us.”
Fan Feng stuck to Bai Xi’s side and smiled. “If there are wolves, Xixi, I’ll protect you.”
Bai Xi pursed her lips and said a little shyly, “Thank you, but don’t take all the responsibilities to yourself. It’s too much pressure. I can help too if we’re in danger.”
