Chapter 22
Bai Lin carried the bow on her back and crossed her arms as she watched Bai Xi cry, thinking it was interesting.
She did not know what kind of play the latter was acting. She cried just like that. Were all actors this good?
She did not know if Best Actor Yan could do it, but since he was the award-winning best actor, he would definitely look better when he cried, right?
Bai Xi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, the corners of her eyes red from crying. “If only I could be as amazing as my sister.”
[Xixi is so pitiful. My heart hurts when she cries. Why didn’t Bai Lin comfort her? Can’t she see that Lin Sen and Fan Feng are both comforting her?]
[If it weren’t for Bai Lin, our Xixi wouldn’t have been crying so hard.]
[I’m really hopeless about the morals and values of Bai Xi’s fans. This is an adventure and survival show! Individual strength and ability is everything. Since you’re here to partic.i.p.ate, you should follow the rules. It’s annoying to watch her waste time crying.]
[You’re right. But even if Bai Lin isn’t Bai Xi’s sister, shouldn’t she at least comfort her when she sees someone crying so miserably?]
[d.a.m.n it, Bai Lin actually laughs watching? Is she still human? She’s too cold-blooded!]
Bai Lin could not hold herself back. Her burst of laughter instantly made the sad atmosphere created by Bai Xi a little awkward.
Bai Lin had seen enough, so she waved her hand and said indifferently, “Don’t cry, meimei. It’s just a bird. It’s really nothing to me. I’ll give it to you.”
Bai Xi gritted her teeth. This would make it seem like she was trying to guilt trip Bai Lin.
Although it was exactly what she was doing, her ultimate goal was to make Bai Lin fail to stand it and quarrel with her. She wanted Bai Lin to throw the bird to her like it was charity.
Bai Lin’s arrogance and rudeness would highlight her delicateness and innocence—and she got to bag a bird for free.
However, Bai Lin was smiling and did not look angry at all. Bai Xi was put in a disadvantageous position instead.
Bai Xi frowned. “Jiejie, you’ve worked hard for this. I feel uneasy doing this.” She handed the bird over. “Thank you. I’ll return it to you.”
“Uneasy?” Bai Lin mulled over the word and her smile widened. “I’m not taking back something that I’ve already given away. This is not my principle. But I don’t want to see you feeling uneasy either.”
[Why do I feel that Bai Lin’s smile is a little scary?]
[+1. I remember that she had this expression when she made a deal with Bai Shao and asked him to help in her team.]
[Sh*t. Are Bai Xi and the others going to be tricked?]
Bai Lin’s line of sight swept across Lin Sen and Fan Feng. She slowly said, “Since this is the case, let’s strike another deal. What do you think?”
Lin Sen looked at Bai Lin calmly. “What deal?”
Bai Xi had a bad feeling.
Bai Lin answered, “Lin Sen and Fan Feng will come and help my team for two hours. In addition to this bird, I’ll give you one bird each in return. What about it?”
They could earn 20 points in two hours when the fish they had speared for so long were only worth five points.
Only a fool would not do it!
Bai Xi’s eyes lit up as she sniffled. “Jiejie, if you don’t mind, I can also go and help.”
Bai Lin shook her head. “No, no, it’s all heavy work over there. I can’t bear to…” Bai Lin paused for a moment. She was actually a little addicted to acting. Her beautiful eyes curved into a sly and clever smile. “I can’t bear to let my sister work hard.”
[Bai Lin, what a bad woman. Why is she so beautiful when she smiles?!]
[I also want to be Bai Lin’s younger sister. It must feel blissful and safe to have such an all-rounded sister, right?]
[You sure? Having a ruthless and black-hearted profiteer who exchanged two strong laborers with three birds as a sister, you’d be counting money for her when she sold you off.]
Today’s main task was to build a house. Not only could they earn a lot of points, they could also have a place to sleep at night.
After the points for accommodation at the supply station were restored to five points per person, Bai Xi’s group could not afford it even more. Besides, they still had to redeem other useful items from the production team in addition to the items they brought at the beginning of the show.
Things like sunblock and anti-inflammatory medication, for example.
Fan Zhi who was at the mission board did not know that the Coral Mushrooms were poisonous. He and his wife got up and applied a thick layer of it in the morning. When everyone gathered, exhausted, at the temporary camp base during noon, Fan Zhi and his wife’s faces were so swollen that they could barely be recognized.
