Chapter 164: Could You Be Jealous?
Shen Jinghe now even felt that Wen Yan possessed some kind of uncanny knack for foresight.
With that thought in mind, he couldn't help but steal another couple of glances at her.
Wen Yan felt uncomfortable under his rare, deep gaze.
To avoid being captured by the camera, Wen Yan immediately grabbed Shen Jinghe and turned around.
"Hurry and check the trap with me."
After the two crouched down one after the other, Wen Yan mouthed to Shen Jinghe wordlessly:
‘What are you staring at me like that for?’
‘We'll talk when we get back!’
Shen Jinghe stole another look at Wen Yan, then suddenly took off his glove and reached his hand out toward her.
Wen Yan's eyes widened in shock, completely stunned by this sudden appearance of a slender, long-fingered hand. For a moment, she couldn't even react to whether she should dodge or not.
Right after, Wen Yan watched as Shen Jinghe reached over, took off her mic, and switched it off.
At the same time, Shen Jinghe turned off his own mic as well.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Wen Yan asked Shen Jinghe in confusion, "What are you doing? Didn't we say we'd talk after this ends? We're actively filming right now."
Shen Jinghe frowned slightly as he sized up Wen Yan. He really couldn't hold it in any longer, which was why he had pulled off her mic.
"I think you're very strange."
"I'm strange?" Wen Yan felt a bit guilty inside, but she didn't show it on her face. "What's so strange about me? You're the strange one! Reaching out all of a sudden, I thought you were going to choke me to death."
Shen Jinghe was speechless: "Why would I choke you to death?"
Wen Yan forced a quibble: "Who knows?"
Shen Jinghe gave a quiet snort: "Anyway, you're the stranger one. You seem excessively terrified that I'll fall in love with Jiang Wanwan. Why, are the consequences of falling for her that severe?"
"Of course!" Wen Yan said with total deadpan gravity. "Love these days is such a precious thing! If you love the wrong person, how could the consequences not be severe? If things go wrong, you'll end up heartbroken, devastated, obliterated into ashes, and dying alone in isolation! She and I are good friends now, so I know better than you—you are not her cup of tea! Given our relationship, how could I possibly stand by and watch you jump into a fire pit, right?"
"..." Heartbroken, devastated, obliterated into ashes? Shen Jinghe suspected Wen Yan was brainwashing him.
Yet as Wen Yan said all this, a genuine chill actually ran down his spine. It felt as though what she was saying was real.
He maintained his sharp mouth: "Could it be that thinking about the possibility of me liking her made you jealous?"
"Jealous?" Wen Yan glanced at Shen Jinghe. "Definitely not. But after all, you and I have known each other for so long. If you've only known someone else for a few days and haven't even said more than a few words, yet you're ready to die for them and pluck the stars and moon for them, then my heart would definitely feel out of balance."
"Hmph!" Shen Jinghe let out a sound through his nose, treating it as the end of this conversation.
Considering her starting point was for his own good, he wouldn't press her any further, they could talk after filming ended.
Then he reached out again and clipped the microphone back onto Wen Yan.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing in this trap. But judging by these marks, a small animal must have stumbled in by mistake and eventually broke free. Are there any other spots?"
"Yes, I'll lead you over, it's just up ahead."
Saying that, Wen Yan was about to forge ahead to clear the path.
However, Shen Jinghe yanked her right back by the collar: "Get behind me, I'll go in front. With those short legs of yours, save your strength."
Wen Yan: "Are long legs that impressive? I'm 170 cm tall in shoes, okay?"
"Still not as tall as me."
Bullet Comments:
[Hahaha, the whole world knows you're 183 cm tall now, no need to emphasize it!]
[Acquaintance groups are the best! When he's with people he knows well, Hehe doesn't seem nearly as distant and cold—he feels so much more vivid like this!]
[Ah? Is Wen Yan really 170 cm? You can't tell at all! Her face looks so pure, doesn't look like the face of a tall girl!]
