61. Chapter 61: Yan Yu is very much like another goddamn old acquaintance

"This coconut tree is really so tall, Brother Yan, Xixi, are you two really going to climb up?"

Everyone gathered under the coconut tree, sighing once again.

"Of course we have to climb it, otherwise how will everyone sleep tonight?"

Luo Xixi asked back.

Luo Xinian walked over and took hold of Luo Xixi's hand, turning it over to look at her palm; the places where the skin had been rubbed raw had already scabbed over, but he was still worried and asked, "Is your hand really okay for climbing trees?"

"It's fine, if it weren't, I wouldn't have volunteered."

Luo Xixi smiled at Luo Xinian and said, "Third Brother, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xinian immediately let go of Luo Xixi's hand with a haughty air, turned his face to the side, and huffed, "Who's worried about you?"

Suna, who was to the side, saw this scene and immediately wore an expression of extreme disgust on her face.

Is this Luo Xinian toxic or what?

He's not exactly young anymore, yet he still plays these tsundere games; doesn't he know that being a tsundere is already out of style??

I really don't know how this sweet, naive Luo Xixi can still smile at this biased, foolish brother; if it were her, she would have stopped paying attention to this pig long ago!

"Xixi, do you want to have a contest with me to see who can break off more?"

Just as Luo Xixi was about to climb the tree, Yan Yu walked over and asked Luo Xixi with a smile.

"Huh?"

Luo Xixi glanced at Yan Yu, thinking to herself, is this person childish? He even wants to compete over this?

However, seeing Yan Yu's strange desire to win, Luo Xixi inexplicably thought of an old acquaintance from her past life.

Not a dirty thing.

But another person she met when she was still in the Laboratory.

In her previous life, before Luo Xixi turned 18, she had always lived in the Laboratory, where there were many boys and girls around her age who, like her, were test subjects; every day they had to undergo training and cooperate with various test research and development projects.

Among that group of test subjects, there was one brat who left a deep impression on Luo Xixi; that person's name was Qiyuan, and just hearing the name told you he wasn't any good.

The thing Qiyuan loved to do most every day was to provoke her; every time he opened his mouth, he was guaranteed not to say a single thing she wanted to hear; he was the person Luo Xixi hated the most, and also her biggest rival at the time.

After the Laboratory was shut down, Luo Xixi also gained a new lease on life and began to live the life of an ordinary person, but Qiyuan would still occasionally come to find her; later, she met a dirty thing and fell in love uncontrollably, and Qiyuan would always say she wouldn't have a good ending and would definitely regret it to death in the end.

As it turned out, Luo Xixi really did regret it to death later!

At the time, Luo Xixi once believed that it was Qiyuan's cursed mouth that had been blessed, and that it was all his jinxed mouth to blame, which was why everything she desperately wanted to possess would eventually be easily snatched away by others.

The dirty thing was like that.

Her foster parents from her previous life were also like that...

Now seeing Yan Yu, for some reason, from his brows and eyes, she was actually dazed as if she saw Qiyuan from her previous life; although Luo Xixi had always hated Qiyuan and always called him a goddamn bastard, thinking about it carefully, in her previous life, everyone had left her, yet only Qiyuan would always haunt her and come to find her; from a certain perspective, this could be considered a fated connection, right? Why was she suddenly feeling quite nostalgic?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Yu saw Luo Xixi staring at him intently, as if she were looking through him at someone else; the smile in his eyes deepened, and he asked with hidden meaning, "Are you thinking of some old acquaintance of yours?"

"Hm? Um..."

Luo Xixi didn't react for a moment and just responded, "I did indeed think of an old acquaintance."

"Is that so?"

Seeing Luo Xixi admit it, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Yan Yu's pitch-black eyes; the corners of his mouth lifted imperceptibly, and he asked with a smile, "What kind of person is that individual in your heart?"

This time, Luo Xixi answered even more bluntly, "A super-duper annoying pest."

Yan Yu: "………………"

The atmosphere fell into a dead silence for a moment.

After Luo Xixi finished speaking, she immediately realized what she had done.

Oh my god!

What was she saying?

She had just said she thought of an old acquaintance through Yan Yu, and now she was saying it was someone she hated very much; wasn't this just a roundabout way of saying she hated the second male lead?

They say you shouldn't hit a smiling face, so wasn't she being too disrespectful to the second male lead?

"Um, Teacher Yan, I..."

Seeing Yan Yu's face turn green, Luo Xixi couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

The second male lead wouldn't be angry, would he?

But fortunately, after two seconds, Yan Yu started smiling again and even asked her back, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Seeing that Yan Yu didn't seem angry, Luo Xixi couldn't help but blink; this person didn't seem to realize she had just insulted him. Since that was the case, Luo Xixi naturally hurried to step down from the ledge, shook her head, and changed the subject, saying, "Nothing! Teacher Yan, let's hurry up and pick the coconut leaves!"

"Okay."

Yan Yu didn't waste any more words with Luo Xixi; in the blink of an eye, the two of them climbed up the tree, and the arm-thick coconut leaf stalks were easily snapped off by them in a few quick moves; before long, a pile of coconut leaves had fallen to the ground.

"My god! Such thick leaf stalks, how did those two snap them off?"

A male guest under the tree picked up a leaf stalk and tried to snap it, but let alone snapping it, even bending it was a struggle.

"I finally understand, the gap between people is truly huge!"

"Sob, sob, sob, I was probably just born to make up the numbers; comparing people to people is enough to make one die of anger."

"Why are you all so pessimistic? Be optimistic; if we hold tight to Teacher Yan and Xixi's thighs these next few days, at least we won't have to worry about sleeping in the open!"

"Haha, that's true!"

For a time.

The guests all stood on a unified front, with Yan Yu and Luo Xixi as the center.

Luo Shiqing gritted her teeth in anger upon hearing everyone's words; she looked up at Luo Xixi in the tree and secretly said: Luo Xixi, don't be arrogant, your good days are about to come to an end!

It's the end!

The end!

End!

However.

Just like that, five days passed.

Relying on the internet trolls Sheng Tinglan provided to boost her popularity, Luo Shiqing's Starlight Value reached 52 points, while Luo Xixi, due to her various highlight performances, had a Starlight Value that was catching up to Luo Shiqing's, also reaching 50 points.

As of today.

It is already the final day of Wilderness Survival.

Luo Shiqing, who had consistently failed to have any highlight performances, was already beginning to doubt her life. She lashed out at the system, asking: 【System! What exactly is going on with this Luo Xixi! Why is she so amazing! Is she going to fly to the heavens next??】

During these five days.

Luo Xixi kept taking everyone to spear fish in the sea and running into the forest to hunt for game; it was clearly Wilderness Survival, yet it was stubbornly turned into a gourmet adventure segment by Luo Xixi!

Because there were simply too many highlight performances, even though internet trolls kept posting negative comments about Luo Xixi, they could not stop the awakening of the massive number of passersby. Because the variety show's popularity kept rising, there were all sorts of viral search terms, drawing in a large number of passersby. The eyes of the masses are sharp; by the end, even with the trolls spamming, it became increasingly difficult to suppress the backlash from the passersby.

The Heartthrob System was also doubting its life at this moment, saying: 【That's not right, it's impossible for them to have this many points to redeem skills; this is simply unreasonable!】

【Then did they use an External Cheat???】

Luo Shiqing hurriedly asked.

The Heartthrob System denied it, saying: 【It's unlikely. If they were using an External Cheat, it would be too obvious and very easy to get caught. The other side couldn't be that stupid.】

Luo Shiqing was frantic: 【Then why is it like Luo Xixi can fly through the sky and burrow into the earth?】

One moment she was digging for bird eggs on cliffs, the next she was diving into the deep sea to catch groupers. The most outrageous part was that just yesterday, this woman actually carried a crocodile out of the forest!

Is this reasonable?

Is it reasonable?!!

At that time, Luo Shiqing was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out!

Because various explosive moments kept stimulating the audience in the livestream, more and more passersby became fans of Luo Xixi!

The Heartthrob System said in a deep voice: 【Then there is only one possibility.】

【What possibility? They really did use an External Cheat?!】

【No, this situation can only mean that the individual Host, Luo Xixi, already possessed these skills herself!】

【What do you mean? Explain clearly!】

【In fact, although you chosen Hosts enter the story and are given all sorts of character personas, your basic physical abilities are completely inherited from your previous life. Therefore, it is because Luo Xixi had these skills in her previous life that she doesn't need to activate extra skills; her wilderness survival skills are also at the maximum level.】
