Because he liked Jiang Ning, his eyes only held her, and he followed wherever she went.
But also because he was clever, even if he knew nothing about social interaction, he still understood Jiang Ning’s words—tonight, everyone gets their own room.
Yet, he didn’t want to go back to his room.
Qi Xingzhou hesitated for a while, but still, under Jiang Ning’s expectant gaze, he took the steps.
What a coincidence, Qi Xingzhou’s room was actually right across from Jiang Ning’s.
Jiang Ning didn’t know who designed this small attic, but whoever it was must have been an architectural genius.
Even though the entire attic was designed with an ancient style, it incorporated many modern elements, such as an en-suite bathroom and toilet in every room, allowing the guests not to queue for bathing, providing great convenience in the guests’ lives.
Tonight, for all the guests, it must be the happiest day since they arrived on this desolate island.
Everyone had eaten their fill, each had their room, and after bathing, they could lie comfortably in bed with clean clothes. Simple things like these, which they didn’t even dare to dream about in the past days, were now luxurious.
After appeasing Qi Xingzhou, the first thing Jiang Ning did after returning to her room was to eagerly enter the small bathroom with her change of clothes.
Although she had been wiping her body with clean water every day, it was still not as clean and comfortable as a proper shower!
After showering, Jiang Ning felt refreshed and spirited.
She didn’t immediately lie down on the bed but instead slid open the door and stepped onto the balcony. It was a vast, dark night, and not far away, the river glistened, while the soft wind blew through her long hair, tilting her head slightly to reveal her delicate jawline, with attractive features and skin so luminous and flawless that it shone in the interplay of light and shadow.
She pressed her lips, her gaze serious, and looked intently in a certain direction.
[Wow wow wow, I thought all the guests had rested, I was about to leave, and then I saw Jiang Ning come out. What is she doing standing on the balcony?]
[Slurp, Jiang Ning really has a great figure, a small frame, nicely proportionate flesh, such long legs]
[After the other guests went into their rooms, they didn’t come out again. They must have fallen asleep after the shower. Everyone walked for two whole days; isn’t Jiang Ning tired? What is she looking at?]
The barrage was buzzing with comments until:
[Damn! I know! The direction Jiang Ning is looking at seems to be the place they came from!]
[The forest! The place where Huo Ziheng went offline!]
[Ah ah ah ah ah, so, is Jiang Ning reminiscing about Huo Ziheng?]
[Suddenly feeling the knife, cold on the outside, warm on the inside, they must be talking about her.]
[Although I don’t know how the Huo family treated Jiang Ning in the past, just looking at the attitude of Huo Ziheng and the other two towards Jiang Ning these days, it’s clear she must have suffered quite a bit at the Huo Family. She hasn’t shown it openly, but with Huo Ziheng’s death, she must be feeling terrible, otherwise, she wouldn’t be up in the middle of the night, standing on the balcony alone to ease her sorrow.]
[Sob sob sob sob, Jiang Ning, you can’t be too kind. Look, even Huo Miao, the murderer, isn’t sad, why should you feel the sorrow?]
Huo Ziheng, who was holding his phone and watching the live broadcast, felt a sudden heavy thump in his heart upon seeing these comments. Jiang Ning... was actually standing alone on the balcony, worn out from the journey, missing him?
Sincere gaining consciousness, through phone calls with Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, as well as some information he gathered on the internet, Huo Ziheng had fully grasped the producers’ scheme, and also saw online comments about them over this time.
Huo Ziheng’s eyes grew somber, and he exuded an air of desolation.
Jiang Ning didn’t know she was being watched by millions, as she stared at the forest they had just emerged from, where even from a distance, she could faintly hear the howling of wolves.
Huo Ziheng had just died there, hadn’t he? With the many fierce animals in the forest at night, someone like him, just delivering himself as a meal, must have been like a gift from nature.
She felt not a shred of pity for Huo Ziheng’s fate. Yet, the death of Huo Ziheng that day made her suddenly think of her own limited life value.
Before joining this show, Jiang Ning had specifically saved up more than thirty days of life value. Now, time was nearly halfway gone and the she hadn’t seen a hint of the production crew.
If rescue didn’t arrive soon, even with sufficient supplies in the safe house, the day her life value hit zero, she would succumb to illness and die just the same.
Jiang Ning would not allow that to happen.
