Chapter 179: Chapter 162: Do you like him? Chapter 179: Chapter 162: Do you like him? This time, they caught over 20 fish of various sizes.
Shen Jingchuanâs throat was parched when he said, âFinally, a decent meal is coming.â
Wenyan shot him a look immediately, âDidnât you say youâve been doing pretty well these past few days? You also mentioned losing weight because of your âsmall face.â
âHeh,â Before Shen Jingchuan could respond, Shen Jinghe let out a snort and activated his sarcasm mode.
âGuess why we had to migrate? Could it be because we were too stuffed from eating too much?â
ââŠâŠâ Shen Jingchuan rolled his eyes, âNobody would think youâre mute if you didnât speak.â
Wenyan: ââŠâŠ You two havenât been constantly bickering like this for the past 20 days, have you?â
Well, that was progress.
After all, when they were at home, the two would become mute upon seeing each other, barely speaking a word.
Bullet Screen: âHaha, Yanyan, youâve misunderstood. In the first ten days, they were performing a silent film. If Alexâs house hadnât burned down, they wouldnât have come together at all.â
âI bet Wenyan wonât have the chance to find out. Alex is too proud to say anything, weâll have to wait until after the show ends to see what the production team edits.â
âHahaha, look at Jiang Wanwan, sheâs looking at Alex and Shen Jinghe, and her expression is basically doing an âIâm speechless.â Itâs like sheâs about to write the words âno wordsâ on her face.â
Jiang Wanwan didnât feel speechless, but she did sense that there was something complicated about the relationship between the two men.
Or rather, the relationship among Wenyan, the two of them, wasnât simple either.
However, Shen Jinghe didnât continue to bicker with Shen Jingchuan.
They still had work to do, hauling the spoils back to camp.
As they cleared the fish, frozen stiff, from the net, Shen Jinghe couldnât help but praise them.
âI must say, you two are really impressive. Being able to lay nets under the ice, thatâs truly admirableâŠâ
He stopped mid-sentence, realizing something odd.
It struck him as strange.
He hadnât even asked yet, but he had already concluded in his mind.
He believed that Wenyan absolutely couldnât possess this skill; it must have been Jiang Wanwan who came up with the idea.
Without confirming the facts, his heart already began to admire Jiang Wanwan, and praise had escaped his lips before his brain could catch up.
Upon realizing this, Shen Jinghe immediately forced himself to swallow the rest of his words.
Shen Jingchuan didnât care what Shen Jinghe said; he wasnât concerned whether the words were half-spoken or fully uttered.
But Wenyan took an extra glance at Shen Jinghe.
Jiang Wanwan also caught this moment in her sights.
On the way back to camp, Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan led the way.
Jiang Wanwan seized the moment to turn off her microphone.
She whispered to Wenyan, âDo you like Shen Jinghe?â
âHuh?â After Wenyan came to her senses, she immediately shut off her microphone as well.
âWhy would you ask that?â
Jiang Wanwan slightly raised an eyebrow, âBecause Iâve noticed that since his arrival, your gaze often rests on him. Isnât that the sign of affection?â
Wenyan: ââŠâŠâ This was tricky to answer. Didnât Jiang Wanwan realize that after looking at Shen Jinghe, she would also steal a glance at her?
However, if thatâs really what she thoughtâŠ
Wenyan suddenly asked Jiang Wanwan, âWeâre good friends now, right?â
Jiang Wanwan thought carefully for a moment, âAlthough I donât have any experience with making good friends, I think we can be considered good friends already. What do you think?â
Wenyan nodded, âI think so too.â
Taking advantage of the fact that the camera crew was shooting a long shot and not giving her a close-up, Wenyan felt she should take the opportunity to speak with Jiang Wanwan first.
âI do think Shen Jinghe is a good person, but I feel that Iâm probably not his type.â
âOh? You may be nonchalant, but youâre not a person who lacks confidence. What makes you think he wouldnât like you? How did you come up with that idea?â
âUm⊠how should I put it? My thoughts on this actually donât matter anymore. Whatâs important is that I think you are the type he might like, being smartâŠâ
âThen rest assured,â Jiang Wanwan cut her off before Wenyan could finish speaking, âIâm not interested in him; he didnât give me that stunning impression at first sight.â
Wenyan: ââŠâŠâ Poor Shen Jinghe! Jiang Wanwanâs tone is way too firm.
After a pause of 0.1 seconds, Wenyan continued, âThatâs good. But I have a small favor to ask, a bit of a moral blackmail if you will.â
âGo ahead.â
âItâs that⊠you might be unaware of your own charm. Even if you donât like someone, you might not be able to stop others from falling madly in love with you. So, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what sort of encounters you two may have, promise me you wonât give him any hope, not even the slightest bit.â
Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow, âI feel like youâre complimenting me in a roundabout way. But for that alone, Iâll agree. Donât worry, Iâll never give any hope to anyone I donât like, especially someone youâve taken a fancy to.â
âThen letâs pinky promise.â
â? Isnât that a bit too childish.â
âNot at all.â
âAlright then.â Jiang Wanwan smiled and reached out a finger towards Wenyan, âPinky promise, hang yourself up high, no betrayal for a hundred years.â
âBoohoo, thank you, Wanwan, youâre the best. I know when you promise something, youâll stick to it. Come here, give me a hug! I love you to death!â
Not only had Wenyan come to this conclusion while reading the original novel, but also through the truly tangible interactions over the past twenty or so days.
As long as Jiang Wanwan promised not to give Shen Jinghe any hope, the future Shen Jinghe wouldnât become cannon fodder as the male lead of this book because of Jiang Wanwanâs casual flirting.
[Ah Shen Jinghe, Shen Jinghe, you definitely have no idea that Iâve saved your life]
Shen Jinghe: ââŠâŠâ What is this guy talking about? What does he mean by saying he saved his life?
And how did she end up hugging Jiang Wanwan?
Shen Jinghe shifted his gaze towards Jiang Wanwan.
But this time, he suddenly found that he was not so attached to Jiang Wanwanâs figure anymore.
Not only that, but the sensation of being strangled by invisible hands at the throat of fate seemed to have vanished as well.
He suddenly felt that Jiang Wanwan wasnât inexplicably attractive to him anymore.
This made him feel completely relaxed, and even looking at Shen Jingchuan on the side was much more pleasing to the eye.
He even took the initiative to ask Shen Jingchuan, âIs the fish heavy? Do you need help carrying some of it?â
Shen Jingchuan frowned deeply and gave him a look, âAre you sick? Did you take the wrong medicine? Wenyan! Wait for me.â
Shen Jingchuan stretched his legs and swiftly slid forward, seeing Shen Jinghe as a flood and a wild beast.
Shen Jinghe still walked at a leisurely pace behind.
Now, looking at the backs of Shen Jingchuan, Wenyan, and Jiang Wanwan, he felt very relaxed.
âWait for me!â He soon caught up with them.
