Chapter 162: Do You Like Him?

With this single cast of the net, they harvested a total of over twenty fish, both big and small.

Shen Jingchuan swallowed hard right then and there. "We can finally eat a proper meal!"

Wen Yan immediately shot her gaze over to him. "Didn't you say you've been living pretty comfortably these past few days? You even said you looked thin just because you have a small face."

"Heh," before Shen Jingchuan could even answer, Shen Jinghe let out a cold sneer, switching right into mock mode.

"Care to guess why we migrated? Was it because our team ate so much we were bursting at the seams?"

"..." Shen Jingchuan rolled his eyes big time. "Nobody will think you're mute if you keep your mouth shut."

Wen Yan: "..." Have you two really been spending the past twenty days in this exact bickering mode?

Well, count it as progress.

After all, back at home, whenever those two saw each other, they were like mutes who barely said a word.

Bullet Comments:

‘Hahaha, Yanyan, you misunderstood! The two of them were acting in a silent film for the first ten days! If Alex's shelter hadn't burned down, they wouldn't have even lived together at all!’

‘I reckon Wen Yan won't get the chance to find out. Alex cares way too much about saving face to ever tell her, she'll just have to wait until the show ends and watch the edited broadcast!’

‘Hahaha, look at Jiang Wanwan! Her expression right now as she watches Alex and Shen Jinghe is literally acting out my exact reaction, she almost wrote the word 'speechless' across her face!’

It wasn't that Jiang Wanwan felt speechless, but rather she faintly sensed that the relationship between those two was anything but simple.

In fact, it could even be said that the relationship among the three of them—Wen Yan and those two men, was far from simple.

However, Shen Jinghe didn't continue squabbling with Shen Jingchuan either.

They still had work to do: hauling all these spoils of war back to camp.

As he packed up the frozen fish—large and small—from the net, Shen Jinghe couldn't help but compliment:

"I have to hand it to you two, you really are amazing. Being able to pull off setting a net under the ice like this truly makes one look at you in a new..."

Mid-sentence, Shen Jinghe suddenly found himself unable to go on.

Because he felt himself being extremely odd.

He hadn't even asked yet, but he had already formed a firm conclusion in his mind.

He believed that Wen Yan definitely didn't possess this kind of skill, so this must have been a method Jiang Wanwan came up with.

Before he had even verified this fact, he was already starting to admire Jiang Wanwan in his heart, and words of praise had escaped his mouth before his brain could even process them.

The moment he realized this, Shen Jinghe immediately forced himself to swallow the rest of his words back down.

Shen Jingchuan didn't care what Shen Jinghe said, whether he spoke half a sentence or two halves, he couldn't care less.

However, Wen Yan stole an extra glance at Shen Jinghe.

Jiang Wanwan took in this entire exchange as well.

On the way back to camp, Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan led the way in front.

Jiang Wanwan took the opportunity to mute her mic.

She asked in a quiet voice, "Do you like Shen Jinghe?"

"Huh?" Once Wen Yan reacted, she instantly muted her mic as well.

"Why would you ask that?"

Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Because I noticed that ever since he arrived, your eyes have frequently lingered on him. Isn't that a sign of liking someone?"

Wen Yan: "..." That's hard to evaluate. Did Jiang Wanwan not notice that every single time after she looked at Shen Jinghe, she would also steal a secret glance at her?

Still, if she really thought that way...

Wen Yan suddenly asked Jiang Wanwan, "We're already good friends, right?"

Jiang Wanwan gave it careful thought. "Although I don't have experience making close friends, I think we should count as good friends by now. What do you think?"

Wen Yan nodded. "I think so too."

Taking advantage of the camera crew filming wide shots from a distance without close-ups, Wen Yan felt she ought to take the opportunity to give Jiang Wanwan a heads-up first.

"I do think Shen Jinghe is pretty decent, but I don't think I'm his type."

"Oh? You might be casual about things, but you're not an insecure person. On what grounds would he not like you? Why would you have such an idea?"

"Um... how should I put it? My thoughts on this actually don't matter anymore. What matters is, I think you are the type he might like—intelligent, refined..."

"Then you can rest easy." Before Wen Yan could even finish her sentence, Jiang Wanwan cut her off. "I'm not interested in him. He didn't give me any feeling of stunning me at first glance."

Wen Yan: "..." Poor Shen Jinghe! Jiang Wanwan's tone was way, way, way too firm!

After a 0.1-second pause, Wen Yan picked up where she left off: "That's good then. But I have one tiny request, and I need to morally bind you a bit with it."

"Go ahead."

"It's just that... you might be completely oblivious to your own charm. Even if you don't like someone, you might not be able to stop them from falling hopelessly in love with you. So I hope that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what kind of twists of fate occur between you two, promise me you won't give him any hope, okay? Not even a tiny sliver."

Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Why do I feel like you're complimenting me in a roundabout way? Just for that, I'll agree to your request. Don't worry, I will absolutely never give any hope to someone I don't like, especially someone you've taken a shine to."

"Then let me pinky swear on it."

"? Isn't that a bit too childish?"

"Not at all."

"Alright then." Jiang Wanwan smiled and extended her hand to Wen Yan. "Pinky swear, cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, never change for a hundred years."

"Wwww, thank you, Wanwan, you're the best! I know it, once you promise something, you'll definitely stick to it. Quick, give me a hug! I love you to death!"

This wasn't just a conclusion Wen Yan had drawn while reading the original web novel, but also a genuine conclusion she had reached after living together for these past twenty-plus days.

As long as Jiang Wanwan promised never to give Shen Jinghe any hope, then in the future, Shen Jinghe wouldn't be blasted into cannon fodder by the novel's male lead just because of Jiang Wanwan playing along for the sake of appearances.

‘Shen Jinghe, oh Shen Jinghe, you definitely have no idea that I just saved your life!’

Shen Jinghe: "..." What is this girl talking about again? What does she mean by saving his life?

And why is she hugging Jiang Wanwan all of a sudden?

Shen Jinghe shifted his gaze toward Jiang Wanwan.

However, this time, he suddenly noticed that he no longer felt that linger of attraction toward Jiang Wanwan's figure.

Not only that, but that sensation of having his throat of fate clutched by an invisible giant hand seemed to have vanished completely as well.

He suddenly felt that Jiang Wanwan no longer held that inexplicable attraction to him.

This made his entire body feel utterly refreshed and comfortable, to the point where even looking at Shen Jingchuan beside him felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.

He even took the initiative to ask Shen Jingchuan, "Are the fish heavy? Want me to help carry a few?"

Shen Jingchuan frowned deeply and glared at him. "Are you sick in the head? Did you take the wrong medication? Wen Yan! Wait for me!"

Shen Jingchuan lengthened his stride, skating quickly ahead, practically treating Shen Jinghe like a terrifying beast.

Shen Jinghe continued walking unhurriedly behind them.

Looking at the backs of Shen Jingchuan, Wen Yan, and Jiang Wanwan up ahead now, he felt incredibly light at heart.

"Wait for me!" Soon enough, he picked up his pace and caught up.
