Translator: EndlessFantesy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xi put on an appearance that like others could simply criticize her, but no one did. Instead, Song Zhang received looks of disapproval from the others.
“Dad, don’t blame Xixi-jie. She didn’t do it on purpose.” Song Tian glared at Song Zhang and held Bai Xi’s arms “Xixi-jiejie has always been kind. There must be some misunderstanding.”
Bai Xi was still crying. She sobbed as she pushed Song Tian’s hand away. Her gaze seemed very sincere. “It’s okay, Tiantian. Uncle Songs been tired for so long and even got injured. It’s normal for him to be angry. I’m fine.”
Song Yun frowned. “Dad, don’t make things difficult for Xiao Xi-jiejie. Let’s just let this matter pa.s.s. We’ll hurry on our way.”
Zhao Yuan spoke up, “That’s right, Lao Song. You should be more forgiving, Don’t always argue over such small things. Right now, it’s more important to find the card and food as soon as possible. “Zhao Yuan’s words received the agreement of the others.
[It feels terrible for the victim to be blamed. I feel bad for Song Zhang.] [I’m so angry. My blood pressure is rising. Are these people idiots?]
[It’s not that they’re stupid. It’s just that Bai Xi is too good at managing her image and pretending to be pitiful. If it wasn’t for the snow mountain crisis, Song Zhangd probably be deceived by Bai Xi’s appearance in the future, Anyway, congratulations to him for seeing Bai Xi’s true face with the cost of his legs.]
[The price is too high, though. I hate Bai Xi more now. When can she withdraw from the compet.i.tion?]
[It’s better if she doesn’t withdraw from the compet.i.tion. She can still be tortured in the show. Once she’s outside, a bunch of brainless fans will fight to praise her smelly feet. It’s so annoying.]
[Lin-jie, come and teach this little b*tch a lesson!]
Song Zhang was so angry that he laughed. His calves had been stuck in the snow for too long, and he could not move them or feel them at all now.
Although Bai Xi was not entirely to blame, she definitely played a large part.
Right now, his son and daughter were bewitched by Bai Xi i s act and would not listen to him at all. Only by letting them experience what he had experienced would they know Bai Xi’s selfishness and hypocrisy.
Song Zhang’s legs suffered from severe frostbite, and he was unable to move, so he withdrew from the compet.i.tion.
The remaining people continued on their way.
Fang Rong was envious of Song Zhang. She started from scratch in life and was not a delicate person, but after experiencing the h.e.l.l-like snow mountain, she found it hard to keep going.
She wanted to withdraw from the compet.i.tion, but she was unable to. She could only withdraw after the staff confirmed that she could not continue.
She could only keep going.
The people in Bai Xi’s group had not eaten or drunk for nearly three days.
With how far they had gone, it was all sheer determination that supported them.
Among the team, Bai Shao was one who still had some strength. He practiced what he saw from a survival show he had watched and poked the termite nest at the roots of the tree with a branch, causing a bunch of termites to climb up.
He ate all the termites as if they were barbecued skewers.
The taste was extremely bitter, and his face twisted in pain for a moment. He swallowed them all while holding back his disgust.
The protein contained in the body of a termite was as high as 70%, and in a situation where they were about to starve to death, it was a good choice to save their lives.
He immediately called out to his teammates, “Everyone, come quickly! There are termites to eat here!”
The others were so hungry that they were seeing stars. It was good enough that they had something to eat. Each of them found a stick and began to eat either sitting or squatting beside the termite nest
—Except for Bai Xi.
The corners of her eyes twitched.
When Bai Xi watched the animal doc.u.mentaries previously, the way apes ate termites was actually in line with these people.
Termites were insects and they smelled so bad. If she really ate them and when the show was over, a bunch of people would say that a pure, innocent girl like her actually ate insects in such a sorry state!
What would her fans think of her?
At that time, she would not have to stay in the entertainment industry anymore. She could change her career and become a monkey in the zoo.
Bai Shao saw that Bai Xi did not move and did not look too good. He thought that she did not have the strength to come over and eat, so he went toward her with a stick covered in termites.
Bai Xi looked at the small insects on the stick and felt her scalp go numb. She quickly retreated. “Xiao Shao, I’m not hungry. You can eat them.”
Bai Shao furrowed his brows. “It’s okay, jiejie. There are a lot of termites. Don’t worry about not having enough.”
Then he handed the stick to Bai Xi without speaking more and looked at her urgently…
