Si Fuqingâs fox-like eyes narrowed slightly.
She took back all the luck from Zuo Zonghe. Now, without any concerns, she could take action.
Yet, she hadnât investigated what kind of medicine Jiang Changfeng had given Zuo Zonghe.
Indeed, a tool was a tool, and he was exceptionally handy.
Just as Si Fuqing was about to play some game and sleep, a call came in.
The caller ID showed Yu Xiheng.
Gazing at the name for a long moment, she still answered, âHello?â
Yu Xiheng spoke, âIâm outside.â
âOutside?â Si Fuqing paused, âYouâre not coming to the program team, are you?â
âMhmm,â he said nonchalantly, âIâm here to pick you up.â
The man leaned against the tree, a picture of elegance and strength. Moonlight bathed his face, casting a silvery glow that accentuated his handsome features.
Si Fuqing had to admit, some people were just too good-looking. Seeing his face, her anger dissipated.
Is she reallyjust swayed by looks?
After a momentâs thought and a sigh, she conceded that she was not only swayed by looks but also by voice.
âIâm sorry,â Yu Xiheng opened his eyes, âMy leg was acting up, so I had to borrow your car for shelter. I didnât mean to harm you.â
Si Fuqing, arms crossed, replied, âWell, I didnât say I forgave you.â
Yu Xiheng bent slightly, âThen, miss, what can I do to earn your forgiveness?â
His voice was like an attack, making Si Fuqing quickly step back, âBoss, be serious.â
It was odd hearing these formal words from her boss.
âHere, this is for you, â Yu Xiheng presented a box, âConsider it an apology.â
Inside the box was a bracelet with over twenty beads, each a different color and shade, resembling tourmaline.
Si Fuqing instantly recognized that the bracelet was no ordinary item.
She also detected a faint fragrance.
âThese beads arenât just any stones; each contains different medicinal herbs,â Yu Xiheng nodded, âItâs all-natural and good for your health. You often have low blood sugar; itâs better to carry this with you.â
âThis fine item should be with you, boss,â Si Fuqing started to say but then corrected herself, âNo, of course not. Youâre strong and healthy! It should be with me, the fragile one.â
Yu Xiheng closed his eyes, seemingly resigned.
Si Fuqing happily put on the bracelet. It shone brightly under the light, as if there were flowing luminescence, looking very beautiful.
âBoss, I still have your jade pendant,â she turned back, âIâll give it to you tomorrow.â
âNo need, what I give you is yours,â Yu Xiheng hummed, âItâs late, go rest.â âIâll also prepare a gift for you,â Si Fuqing waved, âGood night, boss.â
After Si Fuqing left, Feng San cautiously approached, âBrother Nine, did you manage to appease Miss Si?â
Yu Xiheng sighed lightly, âIf she were truly angry, it would be tough to appease her.â
Feng San felt numb.
Indeed, following Miss Si allowed him to witness Brother Nine breaking his norms time and again.
His career as a shadow guard was fulfilled!
The next morning, a new recording began.
âCome on, everyone, draw lots,â the assistant director came with six envelopes, âThese are your clues for today. Make sure you keep them; otherwise, you wonât reach the endpoint and will have no food.â He quickly added, âMiss Si, no helping!â
[The programâs bug, Si Fuqing, even the directors are afraid.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Todayâs escape from the primitive tribe, I look forward to Miss Si fighting hand-to-hand with the primitives.]
âTeacher Yuan, you guys draw first,â Si Fuqing suggested, âJust leave one for me.â
âGood kid, I wonât be shy then,â Yuan Heping was the first to draw. After everyone else had drawn, Si Fuqing picked up the last one.
She opened it to read:
[Welcome, brave survivors. From now on, you must survive in this forest. Our forest guardians will attack you every hour. Please try to escape their attacks and move forward!
Your only goal is to stay alive!]
Si Fuqing neatly folded the envelope and put it in her pocket.
Ning Luoyao trembled as she raised her hand, âCan I ask what the guardians are like?â
âOh, there are many,â the assistant director counted on his fingers, âDefinitely primitive people, werewolves, undead, and animals like cows, horses, sheep, and such..â
