Chapter 36
[I don’t think this matter is that simple. Yue Xin definitely left a note yesterday. It’s impossible for Zhou Xue to know that the production team changed the pot in the middle of the night. Then why is she so sure that Zhao Lei didn’t see the note Yue Xin left?]
[F*ck, it’s terrifying to think about it! Is this a large-scale conspiracy? Isn’t this a f*cking experience variety show?]
[Is there anyone who has been in Zhou Xue’s live stream yesterday who wants to say something? I’m so scared!]
[The cameras are all dark at night. I couldn’t see clearly!]
[We might as well rely on ourselves to solve the case. After Yue Xin left yesterday, Zhou Xue went into the kitchen not long after, but we can’t be sure if she took the note.]
[Don’t come up with conspiracy theories. Maybe Sister Beautiful is just being kind. Why would she want to ruin a child?]
Because no one could guess Zhou Xue’s motive, the comments section was only filled with speculation in the end. There was no substantial evidence.
However, Yue Xin was a little surprised when she heard Yue Lingfeng’s words. She thought that her second brother would hate her, but she did not expect him to speak up for her in such a situation. Yue Xin was a little touched. She had originally planned to watch it for a while more, but Yue Lingfeng had already said so. Hence, she took out the note that she had shown the production team in the early morning and handed it to Yue Lingfeng.
After Yue Lingfeng saw the note, his smile became even more arrogant. “Aiyo, I already know the truth. Don’t throw up over there. I’ll recite it for you guys. The compensation requirement is: I’ve used the pot to boil dog fur. I want another one.” He took the note and looked at the director. He said very firmly, “This is the compensation Yue Xin asked the production team for, right? You guys have already changed the pot.”
Only then did the director answer, “Yes, I’ve changed it.”
Yue Linfeng asked again, “When did you change it?”
The director said, “Four in the morning.”
When he heard the time, Zhao Lei finally stopped vomiting. He only woke up at six to wash up. By then, the pot had already been changed.
Zhou Xue’s hand that was patting Zhao Lei’s back paused, and she felt a little embarrassed. She never thought that Yue Xin would solve the problem of the pot so quickly. She had originally planned to use this matter to find a clique for herself, but now it seemed that it was impossible. She had to salvage the situation as soon as possible.
Zhou Xue’s reaction was very fast. She immediately apologized to Yue Xin. “Oh, so that’s how it is. I’m sorry. I didn’t know that a new pot had been changed. Yue Xin didn’t say anything just now. I thought… I’m sorry. I was too one-sided! Xinxin, I hope you can forgive Sister.”
Yue Xin still didn’t say anything, maintaining the same expression as before.
Zhou Xue apologized and kicked the ball, successfully shifting everyone’s attention from her to Yue Xin.
There was a period of training in Yue Xin’s memory. She knew very well that Zhou Xue’s words now directly transferred the responsibility to her. If she forgave, she would be the one at a disadvantage, and the good reputation of knowing her mistake and repenting it was Zhou Xue’s. However, if she didn’t forgive her, she would become the person who didn’t know what was good for her, and the kind-hearted person was still Zhou Xue. There was only one way to deal with this situation. Use magic to defeat magic.
Hence, Yue Xin pretended to panic and hid behind Yue Lingfeng.
Yue Lingfeng was very sensible. He said to Zhou Xue, “Don’t force her. She’s frightened by you.”
Hearing this, Yue Xin gave Yue Lingfeng a thumbs up in her heart. “My good second brother, I underestimated you previously. You’re too amazing at causing trouble for others!”
When Zhou Xue heard this, her eyes turned red. She looked pitiful, which could arouse one’s desire to protect her. However, she did not cry. Instead, she turned around and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Then, she turned around and smiled, like a little white flower pretending to be strong.
At this moment, Li Xing could not stand it anymore. However, considering that Han Wen was present, he did not dare to do anything substantial. He only said to the director, “Didn’t you say breakfast just now? Can we accept the mission now? Can you help others do this mission?”
The director smiled kindly. “We only look at the results of the mission. We won’t investigate who completed it.”
When Yue Lingfeng heard that, he was not in a hurry to accept the mission. Instead, he asked what the Easter egg was today.
The director smiled mysteriously. “Today’s goal is to nurture everyone’s ability to survive independently, so the Easter egg topic is also related to survival.”
The staff beside the director carefully took out a metal box. Although no one could see what was inside, they could guess from the staff’s expression and actions that it was a dangerous thing. After the metal box was placed, the lid was opened. Inside was something in the shape of a pineapple.
“This is a replica of the Blu-3/B bomb, also known as the pineapple bomb. We’ve already modified it to reduce most of the explosive power. It won’t hurt anyone, but if we don’t defuse it properly, it will still cause an explosion.” The director looked at everyone’s ugly faces and smiled in satisfaction. This was the result he wanted! Of course, the Easter egg was extremely difficult. It would spark the greatest joy when no one could get it!
