The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 169 - 169 152 Ive Come to Find a Way Out

?Chapter 169: Chapter 152: I’ve Come to Find a Way Out Chapter 169: Chapter 152: I’ve Come to Find a Way Out “You eat it yourself.”

“I still have some, you eat.” Wenyan noticed that when Jiang Wanwan had ladled soup for her, she had purposely put more vegetables in it.

And indeed, her own soup was relatively thinner.

Jiang Wanwan didn’t continue to decline Wenyan’s offer:

“Alright, I won’t be polite then. Now that the house is built and the snow is falling harder, once there’s snow cover on the ground we’ll be able to see all kinds of footprints. Tomorrow, I’ll set a trap; we should get something tasty to replenish ourselves.”

She wasn’t good at refusing these gestures, but she could try to acquire more food.

Jiang Wanwan was a person of action.

When Wenyan woke up the next morning, she discovered that Jiang Wanwan was not at home.

Wenyan quickly crawled out of her sleeping bag.

By the time she dressed and stepped out of the cabin, the outside world was already a vast expanse of white.

The whole world had changed color overnight.

She called out “Wanwan” twice, but no one replied; however, she did find footprints left in the snow.

Following the tracks, it seemed she had gone toward the lake.

Wenyan hurriedly followed Jiang Wanwan’s footsteps.

Before long, she saw Jiang Wanwan at the lake, dragging a fishing net.

She immediately ran over to help.

“Why did you come here alone without waking me up? Can you really pull it by yourself, it’s so heavy?”

Jiang Wanwan pointed to a pot she had placed by the lake, “I was just planning to fetch some water and head back when I saw fish in the net. We’re in luck; if I’m not mistaken, that should be a big fish!”

“Really?”

Wenyan got excited, and together they quickly hauled the net ashore.

Nature didn’t disappoint them, as they truly caught two big fish.

Wenyan couldn’t say how heavy the fish were, but they were as long as her entire arm.

“Amazing! We’re really fortunate. If we could catch a fish like this every day, we wouldn’t have to worry about getting through these thirty days.”

Jiang Wanwan shook her head, “I’m just afraid we won’t always be this lucky.”

“True!” Wenyan didn’t hold out too much hope, “The weather is getting colder, and the lake will surely freeze over, then we can’t lay the nets anymore. But catching even one is a bonus!”

Danmu: ‘Impressive, their group is really lucky, catching such big fish on the first day of netting. Jing Hao and Xu He are also by the lake, they laid their nets the second day, but they end up with an empty net every day, which is just speechless.’

‘Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu also had average luck; they have a very small river next to their camp, more like a creek, really, and the fishing net they brought is practically useless.’

‘Yes, I’ve seen that too. Hahaha, they said since they brought the prop, they shouldn’t waste it. Hahaha, I died laughing. There are fish in the creek, but they are very small. When the two compared the net, the holes were actually bigger than the largest fish in the creek.’

‘What about Alex and Shen Jinghe, has anyone checked on them? How are they doing?’

‘I suggest you see for yourself, the survival state of these two is hard to describe in a few words; they are still building their house even now.’

‘Why, are they trying to construct a luxury villa in the wilderness, how many days has it been?’

‘It’s really hard to explain briefly; seriously, I suggest you see for yourself.’

–

The Shen Family Brothers live stream.

They continued with the non-cooperative, separate living arrangement.

The reason they were the slowest among the four groups in building their campsite was that neither of them helped the other, they just focused on their own things.

As for food and drink, they also relied on themselves. Whether they lacked a pot or salt, life was incredibly rough and crude.

Now that it had snowed, the temperature was even lower than before. Shen Jingchuan had built a small stove out of rocks in his rudimentary hut.

He had even installed a small chimney to vent smoke, planning to create a small, heated room for himself.

The first half of the night, he slept quite comfortably because the entire hut was warm, and he felt rather proud of himself for it.

But to his surprise, in the second half of the night, his house caught fire!!

But Shen Jingchuan, who was fast asleep, had no idea he was in the midst of a fire.

If it weren’t for Shen Jinghe noticing something was amiss and dragging him out, he might have thought it was just the heater burning too fiercely.

The two brothers shoveled snow for half a day, piling it onto the house, but they still couldn’t completely extinguish the fire.

All Shen Jingchuan could do was watch helplessly as the fruits of his hard work from the past few days turned to ashes before his eyes.

It wasn’t just the small house, but some of his supplies and tools inside were also destroyed.

Shen Jingchuan let loose with a string of expletives.

“Fuck! This is just damn bad luck! Fuck!!!”

Shen Jinghe let out a slight sigh.

Then, he raised his hand and patted his brother’s shoulder.

“Come stay at my place, we’ll make do.”

Shen Jingchuan looked at the sleeping bag he’d managed to bring out in one piece and stubbornly refused Shen Jinghe.

“No need, I can handle the cold.”

Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”

Shen Jingchuan snorted coldly, “What else? I know my own body best.”

Shen Jinghe also curved his lips into a smile, “Then that’s perfect, goodnight.”

Three minutes later, a shivering Shen Jingchuan wrapped in his sleeping bag entered Shen Jinghe’s small house.

Shen Jinghe glanced at him lazily, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Jingchuan stiffly replied, “I came to look for something.”

“Looking for something?” Shen Jinghe chuckled, “What could you possibly find in my place?”

“Cough…” Shen Jingchuan cleared his throat uncomfortably, “Looking for an excuse.”

“!!!???” Even the cool and composed Shen Jinghe couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Good job making him laugh.

He was looking for an excuse, of all things! That was pretty good!

“Alright,” Shen Jinghe said, laughter barely contained in his voice, “Come in then.”

Shen Jingchuan ‘hmm-ed’ and dropped two pitch-black things on the ground.

“After scraping them off a bit, the pot and the shovel are still usable. I won’t stay for free; you can use these two things.”

Having said that, Shen Jingchuan awkwardly touched his nose and found a corner to lie down.

Dammit! Luckily it’s dark and Shen Jinghe can’t see his face, or he would be utterly humiliated.

The viewers in the live stream were dying of laughter.

Because of the time difference, the audience was experiencing daylight while it was night at the scene.

There were a lot of viewers right now.

Everybody was nearly passing out from laughter.

‘Hahaha, what are you looking for? I’m looking for an excuse. Alex is confirmed a comedian, he’s really going to kill me with laughter’

‘Hahaha, and those blackened pot and shovel he brought in the end, they’re gleaming with soot, I’m tying knots in my intestines from laughter.’

‘Who would’ve thought, the two people who absolutely refused to cooperate and insisted on living separately, now sleeping together because of a fire.’

‘But they lost a lot of tools, doesn’t seem friendly for their upcoming survival.’

‘Indeed, now the first place in the voting is Wenwan’s live stream, these two girls used their power to stage a comeback!

Second place are Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu, third are Jing Hao and Xu He, and our two brothers have claimed the last place!’

‘Hahaha, congratulations!’

‘Congratulations, congratulations’

‘Haha, congrats flooding the screen, if they could see the comments Alex might jump up and start punching.’
