Chapter 1038: Oh my, I ran into my ex on a survival variety show! 08

While Jin Chen was roasting the rabbit, Yu Sui sat not far away, his hair soft and drooping, occasionally lifted by the wind, making him look obedient and quiet, yet a faint loneliness lingered around him, as if as soon as he calmed down, no one could break into his inner world.

This made Zhong He glance at him several more times, but he quickly looked away and continued to listen silently to the voice in his earpiece.

"Xiao Sui."

Jin Chen suddenly shouted, and Yu Sui instinctively turned his head to look at him.

He quickly realized something, lowered his eyes, pressed his lips, and said, "Yu Sui."

"Don't call him like that; that's what a boyfriend would say."

Jin Chen readily changed his address: "Yu Xiao Sui, come eat meat."

Yu Sui: "……"

Really annoying.

He silently took two rabbit legs and began to gnaw, eating quickly, feeling a faint satisfaction; after a day of high-intensity exercise, gnawing on meat was indeed a very refreshing thing.

And it tasted great.

Yu Sui ate while letting his imagination run wild.

The wild rabbit was huge; even Jin Chen and Yu Sui could only finish one.

Jin Chen ignored the other guests' longing looks, even turning a blind eye to Lin Gui's repeated hints, and gave the remaining rabbit to Su Nai.

"It's for the three of you."

He then pointed to Shen Yi and Zhong He beside Su Nai.

Su Nai took it apprehensively, feeling its weight, exchanged a glance with the other two, and asked, "Why give it to us?"

Jin Chen wiped his hands and said, "You three killed the wolf together; you weren't just spectators."

The other five who had been spectators: "……"

Bai Xuan spoke up, feeling wronged: "But I'm injured… can't I eat?"

Jin Chen looked at her in surprise: "Did I injure you?"

"No…"

"Scared me; I thought you were going to extort me."

Jin Chen patted his chest and gave all the remaining meat to Yu Sui.

Bai Xuan: "……"

She felt both ashamed and angry, covering her face as she silently cried.

"At least she's injured; is it really okay for Jin Chen to do this… it feels so heartless."

"What the person upstairs said is right; Jin Chen should have protected her to the end and then given Bai Xuan five hundred million, otherwise he's an absolutely heartless monster! (dog head)"

Su Nai, Shen Yi, and Zhong He shared the rabbit; after Zhong He finished eating, he looked at Jin Chen and spoke his second sentence of the day.

"From now on, I'll follow you."

"Pfft——"

Jin Chen, who was drinking water and rinsing his mouth, was startled and quickly looked at Yu Sui, who was staring at him coldly.

"I don't know."

"Who knows how he suddenly came up with that line!"

Su Nai and Shen Yi both cast curious, watchful glances.

Jin Chen, under pressure, asked, "What do you mean? Follow me in what way?"

Zhong He: "Follow you, brave the deserted island."

That's what he meant.

Jin Chen let out a breath, gave a dry laugh, and said, "You're talking just to use up your phone credit, right?"

Zhong He didn't understand, frowned, and said, "No need."

Jin Chen: "……"

He silently turned his head to Yu Sui and complained, "What a humorless person."

Yu Sui withdrew his dangerous glance, glanced at Zhong He, seemingly checking if there was any danger, then continued gnawing the rabbit leg.

Su Nai and her companion were about to laugh hysterically.

Not long after, the forest grew completely dark.

Jin Chen tested the wind direction and chose a relatively safe spot.

"Tonight there should be heavy fog and rain; try not to leave this place."

Jin Chen said this while using a branch to draw a large circle on the ground.

Jiang Ting looked up at the bright, sparkling sky visible through the tall leaves and exclaimed, "Jin Chen bro, you still know how to read the night sky? This doesn't look like it's going to rain at all."

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, "You doubt me? If it rains later, you'll give me half your rations."

Jiang Ting: "……"

He silently put away his backpack.

——

After nightfall, the livestream continued, but the viewer count dropped and the screen was completely dark.

Lin Gui and He Chao were chatting in the tent.

"A lot happened today; I can tell you're not happy, so I guess you're not scared."

He Chao kept his gentle tone; Lin Gui hummed in agreement, rubbing the jade pendant as if drawing strength from it.

"But this variety show is very important to me; the prize money and rewards are everything."

"If it's not offensive, perhaps we could become better friends and help each other," He Chao said.

Lin Gui felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor; after all, He Chao is one of the entertainment industry's top idols, and if they really hit it off, becoming better or even closer friends, then with his own luck, wouldn't he just rise steadily in his career?

He nodded slowly, smiling with a slight blush, "Of course."

On the other side.

He leisurely finished setting up the tent and sleeping bag; Jin Chen pulled open the flap to look outside, but there was no tent belonging to that certain guy next to him.

Jin Chen was silent for a moment, then accurately looked at the shadow in the tree.

"Yu Sui, come down."

The shadow in the tree didn't move.

"It's going to rain."

Still stubbornly, it didn't move.

The next second, a huge boom sounded in the air, bright light tore through the sky, as if it split in half.

In an instant, they saw each other's appearance clearly, then everything returned to darkness.

The rain poured down.

Yu Sui pressed his lips, jumped down, walked to the outside of Jin Chen's tent, and his clothes quickly began to get wet.

Jin Chen pulled him in, his tone a bit stiff, "You didn't bring a tent and sleeping bag?"

Yu Sui: "I brought the sleeping bag; the tent takes up space."

He was carrying moisture, the hair on his forehead damp and slick, making his skin look even paler.

"Just sleep here." Jin Chen, without letting go, wiped his hair, the motion forceful yet gentle.

Yu Sui didn't refuse the wiping, but insisted, "I'm not sleeping with you."

"Go out and get drenched? There's no cave around here."

His tone was already fierce.

Yu Sui lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, fingers gripping the hem of his clothes.

"Don't bother me."

"Yu Sui."

Hearing a fiercer voice, Yu Sui jerked his head up, eyes slightly red, "What the hell!"

We've already broken up, why are you still being so fierce!

Jin Chen fell silent; the rainstorm's moisture was too damp, his body felt a faint ache, and he couldn't control his tone.

He paused, with a hint of coaxing, "Be good, just sleep; even the biggest things can wait until tomorrow."

Faced with such a gentle tone, Yu Sui didn't know how to rebut.

He turned his head away, dodging Jin Chen's gesture to wipe his eye corner, took off his outer garment, lay down, slipped into his own sleeping bag, and closed his eyes to sleep.

His movements were swift.

Jin Chen chuckled, rubbed his right wrist, and lay down as well.

But lying down is one thing, not being able to sleep is a big problem.

Yu Sui gets a bit restless at night; difficulty falling asleep has become routine, and this time he came to stay vigilant, so he didn't bring any sleeping pills.

He stared blankly into space, suddenly feeling an arm placed over his chest, lightly patting, as if offering comfort after sensing something.

It gave him a strong sense of security, plus a reassuring aura.

Yu Sui remained silent and didn't push it away.

After a long while, he spoke softly, his voice faint.

"Why."

Jin Chen didn't catch it, instinctively asking, "What?"

Why did he suddenly leave, why did he go without a word, even the breakup was conveyed through someone else.

Yu Sui wanted to ask many questions, but in the end just shook his head, "It's fine, you misheard."

"Hurry up and sleep."

The tone from behind was low and gentle; Yu Sui's eyes were moist, but his inner anxiety lessened considerably, and he closed his eyes to sleep.
