349 An Uneasy Ye Lingchen
Chen Xiaoyan was very beautiful, especially under the moonlight at that moment. She seemed to be covered in a layer of silver light.
Ye Lingchen looked at Chen Xiaoyanâs smile for a moment, then touched his nose and looked away rather rigidly.
âCan you keep me company and walk with me along the beach?â Chen Xiaoyan suddenly asked.
âMm.â Ye Lingchen jumped from the tree and the two walked silently toward the beach.
Under the silent night and the sea breeze, a man and a woman walked on the beach without saying a single word.
During that period, Chen Xiaoyan turned her head from time to time in order to look at Ye Lingchenâs face. Her eyes blurred up and she smiled secretly from time to time.
âY, are you very young?â Chen Xiaoyan asked all of a sudden.
The corner of Ye Lingchenâs mouth curled up slightly and he shook his head. âYou know Iâm not young.â
Chen Xiaoyan lightly pshaw-ed, and she blushed a bit. She could not help wiping the corners of her mouth with her hands and rolled her eyes at him. âMen are all the same.â
âHey, donât make a mistake here. Iâm the one who was forced to, okay?â Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly and remarked.
Chen Xiaoyan stopped suddenly and stuck out her ruddy lilac tongue toward Ye Lingchen. She licked her lips. âDo you want to revisit it?â
Ye Lingchenâs body stiffened abruptly and he quickly turned his head before coughing violently.
âTch, you want it but you donât have the guts.â Chen Xiaoyan pouted, then said, âIf you want it, Iâll go to the tent with you, how about it?â
âStop kidding.â Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Xiaoyanâs eyes. She suddenly tiptoed, hugged Ye Lingchenâs neck, and raised her head. Their lips were facing each other.
After a brief peck, Chen Xiaoyanâs beautiful eyes gazed deeply at Ye Lingchen and she said, âThank you so much, Y. You gave me a new life, dispelled the darkness, and filled my world with beauty.â
Chen Xiaoyan let go and trotted back toward the bamboo house without waiting for Ye Lingchen to speak.
Ye Lingchen looked at her rear figure, raised his hand to touch his nose, and sighed.
Wanted it but had no guts? Why was he so modest?!
...
In the next three days, the reception for Survival on Deserted Island was improving. The number of people who were online for the live stream increased tremendously too, although many people proposed to change âSurvival on Deserted Islandâ into âA Life to Long Forâ.
Since everyone was too leisurely, not only could Ye Lingchen catch game, he also made delicious food from it. It was simply heaven!
On that day, the dazzling sunlight shone down and landed on the sea, reflecting the dazzling rays of light. The day was also a very sunny one.
Toot, toot, toot!
At that moment, whistling sounds came from the distant sea, prompting everyone to stand up instinctively and look into the distance.
âThereâs a ship coming!â Dalei said in surprise. âWhy is a ship coming?â
âDirector, is it because the show is ending early? Why would a ship come over?â
âAre we going to change location?â
Everyone began throwing guesses as they looked at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yongâs expression was calm. It was clear that everything had been arranged by him, but he did not give any answer. Instead, a smirk appeared in the corner of his mouth, which sent a chill down everyoneâs spine and made them feel a bad hunch.
The ship was the same ship that sent everyone to the island previously. There was no unnecessary nonsense and they simply tossed a few kayaks from the ship before leaving without a single word.
âTheyâre going back?â
âWhatâs going on? Whatâs the meaning of these kayaks?â
âEveryone, gather round!â
Zhang Yong shouted, âIâm now officially announcing that Survival on Deserted Island has launched a new program! Escape from Deserted Island begins now!â
Escape from Deserted Island?
Everyone pondered on it.
âDirector Zhang, do you want us to paddle to the opposite island with this kayak?â Ye Lingchen asked.
Zhang Yong grinned slightly. âYou guessed it, Y!â
âWhat? This canât be? With this kind of kayak, how long do we have to paddle?â
âF*CK! This is too much! Itâs very tiring, you know?â
âI seriously doubt our kayak will not be pushed back if the wind blows!â
Everyone wailed.
The program team obviously ignored everyoneâs wailing and announced, âFollowing the team designation that you came here with, there are a total of three groups with two people sharing a kayak. This is a test of your chemistry and unity!â
âI object!â Arnelle raised her hand immediately. âLittle Mo and I are both girls. Itâs obvious that weâre more physically weak. Director, youâre not being fair to us!â
âYour objection is invalid!â Zhang Yong did not intend to pity members of the fairer gender. âThe team that has been formed must persevere, even during times of tears. Donât give up, donât give up!â
âVicious Director!â Arnelle immediately condemned Zhang Yong.
The three groups quickly boarded the kayak according to the program teamâs arrangements. At the same time, each person was also issued a life jacket to wear in the event of an emergency. A paddle was then handed to each of them.
The program team had their own kayaks. They were to follow beside everyone and protect their safety.
âHow do I use this thing?â Everyoneâs faces were filled with bitterness. They tried it several times, but it either turned around in the same place or retreated. They were unable to control the direction.
Arnelle and Little Mo even screamed in panic. They could not even control the kayak itself. It swayed violently from side to side as if it could turn over at any time.
Ye Lingchen was the only exception. He casually moved the paddle several times and propped the kayak forward quickly, as if there was no resistance at all. Aside from that, he could also control the direction and paddle around the crowd.
âY, have you ever learned to kayak before?â Everyone was dumbfounded. That guy knew anything and everything!
âNot too shabby. Iâve read a bit of theoretical knowledge before,â Ye Lingchen remarked lightly.
One could do that with a little theoretical knowledge?
Hehe, full marks for that pretentiousness!
âFirstly, your posture on the kayak and the position youâre holding the paddle with isnât correct. Paddling doesnât take effort, but skill.â Ye Lingchen looked at them and explained while providing a demonstration. âIt should be like this... Then like this... And this...â
Arnelle did it exactly according to Ye Lingchenâs method and immediately revealed her joy. âIt really is very stable! The kayak can move forward!â
âF*ck, this method is indeed effective. Itâs just as Y said,â Dalei and Brother Yang also laughed and said.
Everyone smiled and began to move slowly toward the destination.
Since it was a kayak and many people there were novices, they did not advance that fast, but no one was in a hurry. They talked and laughed along the way while enjoying the sea breeze. It was relaxing and uncomfortable.
At that moment however, Ye Lingchenâs eyes suddenly began twitching violently.
His heart froze slightly and he looked at the surrounding sea. Under the light sea breeze, there was only a tiny wave for as far as the eye can see.
Ye Lingchenâs sense of uncertainty was getting stronger and stronger. It was too calm and too tranquil that it was absolutely horrifying.
Ye Lingchengâs gaze swept across everyoneâs face and his expression sank dramatically. He shouted out at once, âEVERYONE! HURRY BACK AS FAST AS YOU CAN!â
