Damn it, I can't take it anymore!
Qiao Ci decided to go all out!
Taking a long towel used for washing her face to cover her nose and mouth, she charged at the overconfident man with the bravery of a thousand soldiers and slapped him hard across the face. Finding it not enough, she kicked him seven or eight times, despite wearing a skirt.
"Come on, shake it!"
"Shake it, let's see you shake it!"
"What are you pretending to be, a chuunibyo CEO? Idiot!"
The production crew was also shocked. They had started fighting? But they weren't on the island, so they couldn't stop it. They could only shut down the live broadcast when the two sides clashed.
【They're fighting? Is it scripted?】
【It must be an emergency, didn't you see the broadcast was shut down?】
【The cub instantly turned into a wolf king, I love it.】
【The cub that can fight is so handsome.】
【What about the promised twenty-four-hour live broadcast? When will it be back?】
Finally, Lin Yinyin dragged Gong Han, who still wanted to "fight again," back. Except for Qi Sixian, others also left one after another after a few words of persuasion. Qi Sixian walked over and sat beside Bai Xingyan. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Xingyan stood up and nervously walked to Qiao Ci: "Are you... alright?" He thought, she hit Gong Han so hard, she must have been very stimulated. Should he make some of her favorite spicy food tomorrow to comfort her? But she had been a bit overheated recently, he was conflicted ⁽⁽ƪ(•̩̩̩̩＿•̩̩̩̩)ʃ⁾⁾ᵒᵐᵍᵎᵎ "I can still handle it," Qiao Ci said, taking down the towel and taking a deep breath. Stay away from the stench, cherish life. After this incident, Gong Han became much more obedient, and Lin Yinyin also quieted down, starting to work hard to create a persona of being hardworking and enduring hardship in front of the audience.
That night, it started to rain heavily, and a fierce typhoon blew in. The open-air hammock definitely couldn't be slept in. Bai Xingyan returned to the tent, but with such strong winds, even the tent was swaying precariously. The strong winds and heavy rain continued all night before finally stopping. Everyone had a sleepless night.
Looking at the damp hammock and the dark circles under Bai Xingyan's eyes, Qiao Ci gradually fell into deep thought. Situations like this couldn't be avoided. There were still more than two months to go... "Aci, what are you doing?" Bai Xingyan asked, not knowing what she was up to as Qiao Ci carried an axe into the woods. "Logging," came the distant reply.
The live broadcast finally resumed. The first thing the audience saw on the screen was Qiao Ci's resolute and energetic back as she carried a large axe.
【Logging? Is it what I think it is?】
【She's not going to build a house, is she...】
【Excuse me, is there anything Qiao Ci *can't* do?】
【Waiting to be proven wrong. Building a house isn't that easy.】
【Am I the only one who envies how much Qiao Ci dotes on Bai Xingyan? I feel like even if it wasn't a reality show, life with Qiao Ci would be pretty good.】
In less than five days, Qiao Ci had built the small wooden house, without anyone's help throughout the process. On the vast beach, a small and exquisite wooden house was nestled on a nearby mountainside. To the left of the wooden house was a delicate hammock, and to the right, a beautiful swing. Inside the wooden house lived an elf prince who seemed to have stepped out of a comic, and beside the elf prince was an all-capable knightess... This wasn't surviving on a deserted island; it was clearly a fairy tale.
"I've said 'envious' too many times to count!" Qi Sixian's jealous and resentful voice could be heard from the island from time to time.
Because Qiao Ci's astonishing feats were one after another, Bai Xingyan lived a very comfortable life on the deserted island, experiencing a sense of relaxation and ease he hadn't felt in a long time. He was only here for a few days, but he didn't expect to actually last until... the end to enjoy it. In Qiao Ci's eyes, he was like a fragile doll, always considering everything carefully, which gave Bai Xingyan a surreal sense of unreality. For him, it was a vacation, but for others, it was genuine deserted island survival.
Without comparison, there was no harm, and his comfort made everyone else's hardships even more apparent. Fortunately, apart from Wang Lele's withdrawal, everyone else on the island persisted until the end.
The reality show finally ended, and everyone was excited at the thought of returning to the real world, except for Bai Xingyan, of course. The live broadcast had been turned off. To celebrate the successful conclusion of the reality show, the production crew also arrived, preparing to host a beach bonfire party. Lin Yinyin and Gong Han were completely overshadowed by Qiao Ci in this reality show, and neither of them was in the mood to attend the party. They took a helicopter and left the moment the show ended.
At the bonfire party, everyone had a great time. Bai Xingyan occasionally stole glances at Qiao Ci, who was illuminated by the firelight and appeared exceptionally beautiful and captivating, his heart in turmoil...
In the quiet of the night, everyone was busy packing their luggage, ready to sleep in their own large beds when they returned. Sitting on the beach, Qiao Ci quietly gazed at the moon and the sparkling sea in the distance. Before long, someone sat down beside her; it was Bai Xingyan.
"Thank you for this time," Qiao Ci said, looking at the moon. Bai Xingyan looked at her, the starlight in his eyes impossible to hide.
"You're welcome, lucky charm," Qiao Ci replied, without turning her head, her eyes narrowed as she gazed into the distance.
"That... Aci, can you... can you be my girlfriend?" came the boy's hesitant voice, shy yet bold. "I like you." I like you very, very much.
"No," Qiao Ci heard her own voice, faint and cold. The boy's starry eyes instantly dimmed, having expected her to reject him without a second thought. After so much time spent together, he thought Qiao Ci had feelings for him too...
"Okay, thank you for taking care of me for so long. If you ever need help with anything in the future, feel free to ask me." The boy pursed his lips, not asking anything or lingering.
"Okay." Until Bai Xingyan left, Qiao Ci never shifted her gaze to him.
"Host, you don't dislike him, and you quite like him, so why refuse?" Little Spoon asked, confused. At this moment, it couldn't sense any of the host's emotions. Qiao Ci's voice was somewhat hollow and ethereal: "With me potentially leaving here at any moment, what can I give him? Make him have a fleeting joy like Su Mo?" Closing her eyes, all she saw was the image of Su Mo lying quietly in his coffin. His eyes always had light, but after she left, the light disappeared... Little Spoon was dumbfounded. Wasn't she supposed to be a heartless woman, just playing around, just a pet? To be honest, Su Mo in the last world, who lived like a walking dead for ten years to protect the territory the host had established, was indeed pitiful. However, it still sided with its host, trying to counsel her: "It's different! In that era, it was normal for an Imperial Husband to be devoted for life. Nowadays, neither men nor women are long-lasting. Host, you don't need to restrict yourself too much. If you like someone, go after them! As long as it doesn't affect the mission, Little Spoon will fully support you!!!" Qiao Ci shrugged listlessly, not replying to it.
After leaving the deserted island, as soon as she returned to her residence, her phone chimed with a message notification.
Bai Xingyan requested to add you as a friend. Verification message: I am Bai Xingyan.
