Chapter 166: Exposing Their Brother Relationship

[That's how it should be! Yin Haoyu is total trash. If it were me, I would've smashed the satellite phone right over his head!]

[Exactly! It's just three days. He could've easily gotten his tetanus shot right after going back. Qin Yan held out for three days with a high fever—why couldn't he?]

[Uh, actually, I feel like you guys don't need to be this extreme. Life is more important than a show, after all. If you feel like you're in danger, stopping is what you're supposed to do.]

[Nobody said his life isn't important. The key issue is his hypocritical double standards! Put yourself in Qin Yan's shoes, wouldn't you be furious too?]

[Sob sob sob, everyone please don't misunderstand! Haozi had a reason for doing this! His physical constitution is different from others and he gets infected easily. All us long-time fans know this, we hope everyone can be understanding!]

[If his constitution is different, then don't join this kind of show! Couldn't he join a low-risk show instead? Besides, why did he morally kidnap Qin Yan in the first place?!]

[What the hell? Does Qin Yan not have hands of her own? Does she have no brain? If her constitution wasn't good either, she could've totally rejected Haozi's advice. She chose to stay on her own, okay?!]

[Right, right, right! Being kind and respecting her teammate turned out to be Qin Yan's fault instead! So you guys wished Qin Yan had hands, huh? Sorry to break it to you, but she actually does have hands—which is why she threw the phone away! You guys must be thrilled now, right?]

The bullet comments erupted into an endless, fierce debate, reaching a level where even the production crew gaped in utter shock.

They couldn't help thinking: It's fucking impossible for this show NOT to blow up! There are way, WAY too many highlights—even a scripted drama couldn't write a plot like this!

It was simply far too "splendid"!

What they hadn't anticipated, however, was that the even more "splendid" drama was yet to come.

After throwing the satellite phone, Qin Yan returned straight to camp. Yin Haoyu, on the other hand, dragged his injured foot step by step as he limped slowly across to the opposite bank of the river.

He was determined to find that satellite phone back no matter what.

However, even before the snow fell, the opposite bank was a dense, tangled thicket of wild shrubs.

Now buried under a heavy blanket of snow, trying to locate a tiny satellite phone was truly a formidable task.

As for Qin Yan, upon returning, she immediately packed up her luggage.

In any case, she no longer planned to continue participating in this show. In reality, her work schedule mostly revolved around overseas fashion runways; even if her domestic reputation took a hit because of this show, it wouldn't actually affect her core career.

Thus, after packing her bags, she walked toward the depths of the forest.

There was a patch of open land inside that was quite suitable for a helicopter to land.

Once she reached the spot, she suddenly pulled the satellite phone out from her coat pocket and dialed the production team to officially announce her withdrawal.

The production crew and the viewers in the livestream room were all completely dumbfounded.

[!!!!!]

[?????]

[Legendary move! Awesome! Is this even allowed?! I officially announce that as of today, I see Qin Yan in a whole new light too!]

[Hahaha, she's so crazy, but I love it so much! What kind of face-slapping revenge scene is this?!]

[Fam, what does this prove? The dogs that bite never bark beforehand!]

[Watch your mouth, person above! Are you insulting her?]

[Actually, it's telling us never to mess with people who usually seem honest and meek, because when an honest person snaps, they turn into an absolute beast!]

[Haha, what an epic backstab!]

[Trash Qin Yan! How could she play Haozi like this? Disgusting! Hating her for life!]

[Who's the actual trash here?! Qin Yan was driven into a corner by Yin Haoyu, okay? Can't you see how badly she was coughing?!]

The bullet comments plunged into a brand-new round of heated arguments.

In truth, after making the call, Qin Yan felt she had acted a bit too impulsively in the heat of the moment.

In the end, she didn't leave things entirely hopeless either. She tied the satellite phone with a piece of string and hung it high on a tree branch, placing it in a rather noticeable spot.

After waiting for a while, the production team's helicopter finally flew over.

At first, Yin Haoyu hadn't realized what was happening, assuming the helicopter was there to pick up another team. But to his surprise, the aircraft flew closer and closer.

By the time he hobbled over, he found that the production crew had already taken Qin Yan and departed.

Yin Haoyu was so furious he nearly burst into profanities, but he forcibly held it back.

In truth, he had long had enough of this frozen world—being cold, hungry, without a flush toilet or a smartphone. Being stabbed in the foot by that wooden stake had sent him over the edge.

To think he had now been played for a fool by Qin Yan! Fuming with rage, he paced around the area frantically searching for the satellite phone, completely missing the most obvious spot.

Only after searching for several hours did he realize the phone had been dangling right above his head the entire time.

The moment he got the phone, he pressed the call button without a second thought.

With that, just three days away from ultimate victory, their team withdrew in the most dramatic fashion possible.

The viewers sighed with deep regret, and many began wailing in the comments.

[Total garbage! Today happened to be the deadline for the voting channel to close. I was super bullish on them before, but they ended up disbanding and getting eliminated on this exact day! I'm so pissed off, ahhhh!]

[Don't be mad, don't be mad! With so many people splitting the prize money, even if you placed the right bet, you wouldn't get much in hand anyway. Better to just sit back and watch the drama! I think it's hilarious, a plain and boring show is no fun at all!]

[Thank goodness I cast my votes for Wen Yan's team at the very last moment! They're definitely a lock now!]

Before the voting channel closed, the Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan combo surged straight into first place in the fan voting.

However, they didn't care about their ranking in the slightest; as long as they held out past thirty days, everyone would get a share of the reward.

On the thirtieth day, to celebrate the successful conclusion of their snow-mountain forest challenge, the four of them decided to whip up a grand feast.

In the morning, they set out as a group into the forest to forage for food.

It started with Wen Yan packing a snowball and tossing it at Shen Jingchuan, which immediately ignited a full-blown snowball fight between the two.

Later, infected by these two goofballs, Shen Jinghe and Jiang Wanwan joined the fray as well.

At this point, foraging for food was no longer on anyone's mind—with all the noise they were making, what kind of foolish little animal would sit quietly in plain sight waiting to be caught?

Yet their luck today was simply unstoppable.

Because Shen Jingchuan acted way too arrogant during the snowball fight, he was ganked by the other three and accidentally tumbled into a deep patch of snow.

After falling, he didn't show his face for quite a while because the snow layer there was exceptionally thick.

Fearing an accident, everyone hurriedly rushed over to look for him.

Yet just as they scrambled over with deep and shallow steps, they saw him suddenly pop out from the snow with a broad grin on his face.

Shen Jinghe, who was walking right in front, was startled by him.

"Have you been possessed?"

"Get lost!" Shen Jingchuan suddenly scrambled up holding a wild rabbit, laughing hysterically: "Hahaha, I landed right on a rabbit den! What you guys said before was totally spot on, this little creature really dug a tunnel inside the snowpack!"

Wen Yan: "Even that works?!"

Jiang Wanwan, on the other hand, began digging around the spot where Shen Jingchuan had fallen.

Wen Yan was bewildered: "What are you looking for, Wanwan?"

"I think this rabbit was out foraging for food. There might be winter mushrooms here."

"There are mushrooms in winter too?"

"Yes, rabbits love eating them."

After digging around for a moment, Jiang Wanwan actually managed to find some.

The others expanded their search radius as well, and soon returned to camp with a heavy harvest.

After dark, the four of them stewed the wild rabbit and mushrooms together in a single pot.

Shen Jingchuan wanted to try something different, so he skewer-grilled a few sticks of rabbit meat and mushrooms over the open fire.

Halfway through the meal, he suddenly claimed he felt a bit sleepy and leaned against a tree trunk to snooze for a while.

By the time everyone finished eating and began clearing up, Shen Jingchuan suddenly woke up.

The instant he opened his eyes, he stared unblinkingly at Shen Jinghe.

Shen Jinghe shot him a glance: "What are you looking at? Suddenly realized I'm handsome?"

Shen Jingchuan let out a cold sneer: "You're Shen Jinghe, right?"

"Otherwise?"

"You and I are full biological brothers from the same father and mother, right?"

Shen Jinghe: "..."

Wen Yan: "???"

Jiang Wanwan: "...? ...??"

Bullet Comments:

[??? What is Alex doing?! Did I tune into the wrong channel? What on earth is he talking about?!]

[What full biological brothers from the same father and mother?! Am I having auditory hallucinations?!]

[Why does he look a bit abnormal right now?!]

Shen Jingchuan suddenly grabbed Shen Jinghe by the ear: "You're Shen Jinghe, right?!"

Shen Jinghe was utterly bewildered: "I am! What's wrong with you?"

Shen Jingchuan then pointed right at himself: "Then I'm Shen Jingchuan, right?!"

Shen Jinghe: "..." You are.

Shen Jingchuan continued: "Tell me, in what way am I inferior to you?! Is my career lower or trashier than yours?! Why is it that with the exact same father, he looks down on my career?! On what grounds?!"

Shen Jinghe: "...What on earth is wrong with you? Are you drunk?" He didn't even drink any alcohol!

Shen Jingchuan let out a cold sneer, which quickly turned into wailing: "Shen Jinghe, you toad monster! How could you be a toad?! Why are you crawling on the ground?! Why can I still recognize you even when you look like this?! If you're a toad, then what am I? Am I one too?! Am I a red toad?!"

Shen Jinghe's facial features contorted almost out of shape: "..."

Wen Yan was entirely, completely stunned.

Jiang Wanwan, meanwhile, quietly picked up the skewers of mushroom and rabbit meat that Shen Jingchuan had left behind: "If I'm not mistaken, he might be suffering from mushroom poisoning. The mushrooms he gathered might be a bit different from the ones we picked."

Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe: "..." What the hell?! Is this actually happening in real life?!

Check out this other novel I am currently translating:

I BECAME THE FEMALE LEAD'S STEPMOTHER

Xiang Wu transmigrated into a novel, becoming the personal maid of Huo Yingyun, the eldest young lady of the Marquis of Dingyuan's household. She was born with a captivating, alluring beauty.

According to the original plot, she was destined to become part of the female lead Huo Yingyun's bridal entourage. Afterward, she would try to seduce her mistress's husband. Although the man would become temporarily captivated by her beauty, the person he ultimately loved would still be Huo Yingyun.

Her attempts at seduction would end up bringing the male and female leads closer together, deepening their relationship. As for her, the supporting female character who had tried to seduce the male lead, she would eventually be sent to a nunnery, where she would spend the rest of her life.

Through a dream, Xiang Wu caught a glimpse of the story's future plot.

She stood dazed beneath a grape arbor, clutching her handkerchief tightly.

No! I don't want to seduce the master!

Behind the grape arbor, a man in purple robes and a jade crown narrowed his eyes. In a low, husky voice, he said,

"Then who do you want to seduce?"

Xiang Wu's face went pale with fright. She trembled and tried to retreat, only for the man to catch her slender waist and hold her firmly against the grape arbor.

As the man lowered his head, clusters of young, unripe grapes trembled above them. Terrified, Xiang Wu grabbed hold of his broad, solid shoulders.

She had never wanted to seduce the female lead's husband.

Yet somehow, by accident, she ended up becoming the female lead's stepmother.

Note 1: Our male lead has no biological children. I personally don't like writing stories where the female lead becomes a stepmother, so all the children in this story are adopted!

Warning 1: The female lead is extremely Mary Sue. If you don't like that type of protagonist, please don't read!

Note 2: The male lead has no wife, so the female lead is not a mistress.
