BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69 - 69: A Hug
Before the second episode of Traveler would start, there was a voting round to eliminate guests.
Each person would choose their most and least favorite contestant anonymously. The guest with the highest votes would either be rewarded or punished.
The voting results this time were dramatic.
Bai Lin and Bai Xi had the same number of votes in the most and least favorite poll. In other words, three people liked Bai Lin and three people hated Bai Lin—and it was the same situation for Bai Xi.
The director announced, “Based on the results of the elimination poll, Bai Lin and Bai Xi who have the most votes will enter the game earlier than the other guests and complete their penalty.”
Receiving the most votes for the most favorite guest was within Bai Xi’s expectations, so she was not overly happy about it. However, she was not so calm anymore after she was announced to be the least favorite guest as well.
Who had voted for her? Did they not have eyes?
The production team had no sense of propriety too. What was the point of setting up such an event?
Bai Xi was so angry that her face was twisted for a moment but she
immediately adjusted it and pretended to be graceful as she smiled at the camera. “My performance this episode isn’t very good. I’ll continue to work hard in the next episode and try not to get any least favorite votes.”
She then turned to Bai Lin and comforted her, “Jiejie, don’t be too angry. Look at me, I’m just like you but I’m not too upset.”
Bai Lin ignored her and asked the director, “What’s the punishment?”
“The two of you will search for a base camp together in San Sheng Island,” the director said, “The conditions of San Sheng Island are harsh. There are forests, swamps, and snow mountains. Three different terrains and climates coexist on the island. There are several species of large carnivores living on the island.
The danger factor is higher than the virgin rainforest in the previous episode.”
Even more dangerous than before?
Bai Xi pursed her lips, her expression somewhat shaken and afraid.
Bai Lin who had been lazily playing games with Zhou Guang suddenly perked up. She jumped up from the couch and asked in anticipation, “When are we leaving?”
“Today,”
Bai Lin quickly rushed back to her bedroom and packed her luggage.
Zhou Guang sighed as he watched her leave.
[Production team: The penalty is to find the base camp at a high-risk area. My Lin-jie: What? I’m not expecting good news?]
[Why is Bai Lin so good at acting? She’s obviously afraid of death, but she still pretends to be different.]
[I suggest you to watch the video of Lin-jie fighting the eight wolves alone.
She’s amazing throughout the battle. She’s never been afraid, okay?]
[My attention is caught at the two of them actually working together. The real and fake heiresses of the Bai Family have already been at loggerheads before the show and they didn’t have much contact with each other during the show. I can’t imagine how they’ll look like working together.]
[I pray that Bai Xi doesn’t drag my Lin-jie down.]
The break was a week, and only three days had passed. The two of them would be living together on the island for four days.
Bai Xi was uneasy. She was a little afraid of the environment of San Sheng Island as well as of Bai Lin.
When she saw Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang reluctantly send Bai Lin off, as if wishing they could leave with her, however, all her fear was swallowed by jealousy.
Why could Bai Lin get what she dreamed of so easily? Bai Xi stood next to the car that was taking them to the airport and stared at Bai Lin darkly.
Now that there was no camera, Zhou Guang hugged his sister and patted the top of her head. “You must be careful of Bai Xi. She doesn’t have any good intention. She’s looking at you now like she wants to eat you up. Be careful not to fall for her schemes.’
“She’d better not cause any trouble,” Bai Lin said calmly, “Otherwise, she’ll be the one in trouble.’
She then looked up at Yan Ruo, “You guys rest well here. We’ll meet again in four days.”
Yan Ruo nodded. He spread his arms and looked at Bai Lin quietly. His eyelashes were long and thick, and his expression was natural as he waited for her to hug him.
Bai Lin was stunned. What was he doing? Acting cute?
Her impression of Yan Ruo was that he was a fragile and sharp person. Now that he revealed a little softness, it worked her up.
She laughed and leaned over but was interrupted just as she was about to hug him.
It was not Zhou Guang—it was Bai Xi.
Bai Xi held back her disgust as she pulled Bai Lin’s hand. She ignored Yan Ruo’s cold gaze and smiled gently. “Yan-ge, they’re rushing us by the car. I’m sorry to interrupt you.”
She pulled Bai Lin away after she finished speaking.
Bai Lin subconsciously followed her but when she turned to look at Yan Ruo, their eyes met.
She shook off Bai Xi and ran back to give Yan Ruo a tight hug before she quickly ran to Bai Xi’s side without even raising her head.
As Bai Xi sat in the car with her, her smile was stiff. “Jiejie, you and Best Actor Yan are so close. With how you hugged each other, I thought you’re a couple in a drama.”
Her words reeked of jealousy..
