The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 177 - 177 160 Did You Hear the Heavy Breathing

?Chapter 177: Chapter 160 Did You Hear the Heavy Breathing? Chapter 177: Chapter 160 Did You Hear the Heavy Breathing? However, this sentence was quickly drowned out by a barrage of bullet comments.

Meanwhile,
to celebrate surviving in the snowy mountains for a full twenty days, Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan had built a makeshift sauna room.

The two ladies couldn’t stand not bathing for a month, so they simply put together a wooden barrel.

Although the barrel leaked due to a lack of proper tools, they had a waterproof cloth and perfectly solved the problem.

At first, the audience in the live stream didn’t understand why they bothered building another hut when they already had a camp, but now they got it.

“666, when other groups are still relocating to find new homes, these two sisters actually built a sauna room.”

“Feels like they’re years ahead of other groups, haha.”

“But to be honest, female celebrities are just that, celebrities. Not bathing for twenty days and still looking so beautiful with makeup. Why do their cheeks look like they’ve applied blush when they’re red from the cold, while my red face just looks like altitude sickness, 555 envy and jealousy.”

“Hahaha, celebrities are indeed on a different level, you have to admit they are naturally beautiful.”

“And they really know how to live a good life, their mindset is indeed great.”

“Heh, you guys keep praising them here, but I really don’t get what this group is doing. Instead of searching for food when they’re barely eating enough, they make a bathing room, talk about misplaced priorities!”

“Exactly, they don’t think they’re on a vacation, do they? Please remember, this is survival in the wild!!”

“Oh my god, are the previous two commenters haters or something? Can’t you see? Because they’re capable, they’ve turned survival in the wild into a holiday in the wild. Do you get that logic? Caviar.”

“True, other groups can’t even think about having a holiday.”

“Aren’t the previous commenters watching the stream seriously? Wenwan’s group didn’t bring tools like bows and arrows, they rely on traps for food, just needing to check them every other day, they don’t need to stay in the wilderness all the time.”

“Oh right, let me educate the haters a bit, making traps is also a skill that requires experience and intelligence, not everyone can make them.”

Indeed, Wenyan wasn’t able to create any sophisticated traps, she only knew how to dig holes in the ground.

But Jiang Wanwan knew many more tricks and could turn metal wires into intricate devices.

Wenyan had also learned a few simple ones from her.

Although their catch in the past few days hadn’t been abundant, certainly nothing compared to Yin Haoyu’s group, they still managed to have at least one meat meal a day if they were thrifty.

However, due to the deep snow, it was always difficult for them to move in and out of the forest.

After observing for a few days, they decided to relocate to find food.

“Should we try our luck by the lake?” Wenyan suggested, “The day we almost got lost, I saw a spot where the ice seemed thinner. I think we could try breaking the ice and casting a net, what do you think?”

The two women talked things through and quickly reached an agreement.

After drinking a bowl of steaming chicken broth, they finally left the campsite with their fishing net and ax.

After a busy afternoon, they returned to their cozy cabin before dark.

The next day, they specifically chose the warmest time at noon to go check their nets.

At that moment, a message suddenly floated across the bullet comments.

“Family in the live-stream, do you know Alex and Shen Jinghe are currently relocating along the lake shore?”

“What? What lake surface, I didn’t see them.”

“I saw it, I saw it! Do you think the lake they’re at might be the same one?”

“I think it’s quite possible, yeah.”

“No way, at the start of the show, the producers said they would separate them when dropping them off. Logically, they shouldn’t have been dropped off so close, right?”

“You might not know this, but Alex and Shen Jinghe have been walking along the lake for two whole days! Even if it’s a super huge lake, two days should be enough to walk halfway around it, right?”

“That can’t be right; with this level of snow accumulation, it’s practically impossible to move an inch. Didn’t you see how Wenyan and the others were trudging through the snow each time you went to set and retrieve traps? In some places, the snow was up to their waists.”

“Baizi, you might be overlooking something. The lake surface has already frozen over. It’s tough to walk on the snow, but the ice is pretty smooth to slide on…”

“Oh yeah! You’re right! I didn’t think of that at all. If that’s the case, the two groups are very likely to meet! I’m so looking forward to it!!! I declare this to be the scene I’m most anticipating in the whole show.”

“Me too!”

“I know you guys are excited, but hold your horses for a moment. Is it possible that they might have chosen a new campsite on the first day?”

“Er, is it possible that I’ve been watching two livestreams and seen that they haven’t stopped to set up camp?”

“Ah, I don’t care! I’m eagerly awaiting this. Can the cameraman direct the lens to the distance?”

“Damn, I don’t know where to point the camera, nor do I know which direction they’re in now! Left or right?”

“East side, I guess, or it might be the west.”

Wenyan had no idea that the Shen brothers were currently searching for a new foothold along the lake.

All she wished for was to catch fish today, preferably a lot and lots of fish.

Yesterday, setting the fishing net beneath the ice almost cost her and Jiang Wanwan their lives—it was just too, too strenuous.

She didn’t want all her hard work to be in vain.

She ran to check the net opening.

Jiang Wanwan saw her running so fast that she, too, hastened her pace.

“Wenyan, slow down. If there really are fish, they won’t be able to escape, dead or alive.”

“I know.” While speaking, Wenyan had already swung her ax.

She needed to make the opening of the net larger for easier retrieval later.

“Damn it, just one night passed and the ice on the lake has thickened. It’s so tough.”

“Then let’s take turns.”

Ever since the two formed a team, they had always taken turns working.

When one person got tired, the other would carry on with the task.

While chipping away, Wenyan suddenly stopped her movements.

Jiang Wanwan frowned, “What’s wrong? Did you get a cramp in your hand?”

“No.” Wenyan tightened her grip on the ax, holding her breath for a moment, her nerves on edge, “I think I heard someone breathing heavily, but it’s definitely not from either of us. Did you hear it?”

Jiang Wanwan also held her breath, and she heard it too; even amidst the howling cold wind, the sound of labored breathing was very distinctive.

At that moment, the barrage of comments in the livestream had already filled the entire screen.

“Ah, it’s Shen Jinghe and Alex! They really found them!”

“It wasn’t easy, but they finally rendezvoused.”

“What did I say? I was sure they’d meet.”

“Woohoo, Alex’s wish finally came true. If we round up, he’s practically teamed up with cute little Wenyan, throw confetti!”

“Turn around, turn around, quick, turn around!”

“Hahaha, Wenyan is scared, I feel like she’s peed her pants already.”

“Alex, speak up quick! If you stay silent for much longer, I’m really worried Wenyan will turn around and give him a whack with the ax, and then this show might really be over.”
