Chapter 145: Chapter 119: Did the production team encounter a bug?_2
Faced with the audience’s skepticism, the program crew quickly issued a statement, but obviously, the audience was not convinced: whose rabbit chases after people to commit suicide? And to fail once but try a second time!
Not to mention the field rabbits everyone encounters in the wild are so timid and agile, hiding at the sight of humans, even domestic rabbits don’t seem too fond of people, the program crew is simply rubbing our intelligence in the dirt!
Program crew: ...I’m wronged!
No one knew exactly what was going on, and even Jiang Ning, after a brief moment of confusion, treated them as gifts from nature.
At the campsite, Huo Miao emerged from her tent.
At this time, everyone else had gone out foraging, and the campsite was quiet and still.
Huo Miao had an injury on her hand, and she held it up like a zombie. With limited outdoor facilities, everyone took care of their personal hygiene in private, finding secluded spots to deal with it.
Huo Miao’s steps were unsteady as she walked towards a bush nearby when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Qi Xingzhou sitting in front of a campfire.
Why was this mysterious guest sitting there alone?
Huo Miao glanced around but didn’t see Nong Chun or Jiang Ning.
[What’s Huo Miao up to? Why has she stopped there not moving?]
[Her gaze keeps falling on the mysterious guest, is she thinking of going over to talk to him?]
Huo Miao was somewhat hesitant inside.
Having been raised in a noble circle since childhood, she had a habit of first judging people by what they wore.
When this mysterious guest appeared yesterday, she was first dazzled by his impressive appearance and physique, and then she noticed that his attire, though it seemed ordinary, was actually bespoke from a private designer.
Although he kept a low profile, avoiding much contact with the others, his striking appearance, physique, and demeanor were not that of an ordinary person!
Huo Miao trusted her instincts; the identity of this mysterious guest was definitely not simple.
From yesterday on, she had wanted to get close to this mysterious guest, but he had only had eyes for Jiang Ning, following her around like a shadow, never leaving her side, giving Huo Miao no chance at all.
She hadn’t expected an opportunity for a one-on-one to come so quickly: ’The best-laid plans often go awry, and sometimes good things happen when you least expect them.’
Huo Miao changed direction and walked towards Qi Xingzhou.
Qi Xingzhou was sitting in front of the fire; Jiang Ning had just forced him to sit on this rock. Although the rock was relatively smooth and clean, it was still somewhat uncomfortable for the tall and long-legged Qi Xingzhou. The way he huddled on the rock made him look like an adult squeezed onto a child’s low stool.
Qi Xingzhou watched the signal fire intently. Whenever the flames died down, he would immediately add firewood. If the smoke grew thin, he would immediately throw a handful of fresh leaves onto the rack above, carrying out the task Jiang Ning had given him clear and thoroughly.
Huo Miao approached Qi Xingzhou, lifted her hand to play with her hair, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone? Where is Jiang Ning?"
Qi Xingzhou’s eyes stayed downcast, focused intently on the fire, not even giving Huo Miao a glance, let alone acknowledging her.
Huo Miao’s expression stiffened. Ignoring the status of being the Huo family’s precious daughter, based solely on her young and beautiful face and figure, she had always found favor in the eyes of men, yet today she had run into a hard rock.
Huo Miao speculated in secret that she definitely hadn’t met this mysterious guest before. Otherwise, with such outstanding looks, she wouldn’t have forgotten him. It must have been Jiang Ning badmouthing her to him, spoiling his impression of her.
Huo Miao’s eyes darkened as she defended herself, "I heard you came from the safe house? Is the safe house far from here? Did you come here specifically to find Jiang Ning?"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s name, Qi Xingzhou showed a slight reaction.
Seeing this, Huo Miao was secretly delighted and continued, "Jiang Ning and I have been friends for several years, she even lived at my house for two years. How come I’ve never heard her mention you? When did you two meet?"
She intended to get closer to Qi Xingzhou and gradually moved toward him as she talked.
Qi Xingzhou’s beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of resistance. He subtly moved his body to one side, dodging Huo Miao’s approach, his voice cold and emotionless, "So noisy, so smelly."
[Huh??]
[What? What did he say?]
[If I didn’t misunderstand, does this mysterious guest think Huo Miao is too loud and smells bad?]
[How many days has Huo Miao been on the Desolate Island? It seems she really hasn’t taken a bath...]
Upon hearing those four words from Qi Xingzhou’s mouth, Huo Miao’s expression uncontrollably shattered.
Noisy?
Smelly?
Huo Miao felt that she had received the greatest insult of her life!
The idea of getting close to Qi Xingzhou, of befriending him, vanished in an instant.
She must have been blind before to think that this mysterious guest had a noble demeanor. Would a true gentleman from a well-educated, wealthy family act like this? Showing not the slightest respect for others!
Huo Miao was so angry that her hands trembled, "No wonder you and Jiang Ning can be friends. After she was discharged from the hospital, she acted like a violent maniac, loving to hit people randomly. You’re probably the same!"
Qi Xingzhou’s dislike for socializing didn’t mean he couldn’t understand what people said.
As soon as Huo Miao spoke, he realized she was badmouthing Jiang Ning. Qi Xingzhou’s lips pressed tightly together, and a shadow crossed the depths of his eyes.
In the grass not far away, there was a rustling sound as if something was moving quickly.
A wild fruit flew out of nowhere and hit Huo Miao in the back. She exclaimed and was about to see what was happening when she felt her arm pulled fiercely, forcing her to turn her head, followed quickly by two heavy slaps on her face.
Jiang Ning’s slaps were incredibly forceful.
For a moment, Huo Miao felt as if she was back on that day at the Huo Family Villa, where she, dressed up and the center of attention, was suddenly grabbed by the hair by Jiang Ning, who appeared out of nowhere, and slapped twice, leaving Huo Miao unable to cry.
Jiang Ning, holding Huo Miao’s arm, did so with ease, as if clamping down on a weak and powerless chick. Her eyes cold, she looked at Huo Miao, "Didn’t I tell you before not to bring up those two years I spent at the Huo Family’s place? Every time you mention it, I’ll hit you."
"And you keep calling it ’your home’? Occupying someone else’s nest for over twenty years, did you really start to think of it as your home?"
