The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 178 - 178 161 Dont You Still Have Me

?Chapter 178: Chapter 161: Don’t You Still Have Me? Chapter 178: Chapter 161: Don’t You Still Have Me? Although it was daylight, the thought of there being only a few of them in this vast white world still sent chills down Wenyan’s spine.

She was never brave to begin with.

“Wanwan,” Wenyan lowered her voice and looked at Jiang Wanwan beside her, “I’ll count to three. On three, we’ll both turn around together!”

Jiang Wanwan chuckled, “What’s there to be afraid of! Don’t you have me?”

As she spoke, Jiang Wanwan took the axe from Wenyan’s hands, “You’re too nervous, this thing isn’t safe with you.”

“Really?” Wenyan made a grim face, “Wuwuwu, but I feel even less secure after you took the axe. No, I must have a shovel in my hand to feel better.”

Meanwhile, Shen Jingchuan finally got a clear view of the two figures wrapped up tightly.

“Wenyan!” he shouted while dropping his backpack and vigorously sliding towards them.

The bullet comments erupted in laughter.

‘Look at Alex being so worthless. If he knew Wenyan was looking for a shovel to go after him, he’d probably slide over and finish her off with a headbutt.’
‘Hahaha, no, no, she’s completely frozen, not even taking the shovel anymore. Alex has no reason to charge and hit her.’
Wenyan was indeed stunned. Before she had time to take two steps forward, Shen Jingchuan had already slid in front of her.

“How did you get here?” Wenyan asked with her mouth open, instinctively looking up above her head.

There weren’t any airplanes in the sky; it couldn’t be an arrangement by the show’s crew.

“Why are you here?” As she spoke, Wenyan’s gaze moved past Shen Jingchuan’s shoulder and settled on Shen Jinghe not far away, “Did you use some kind of prop card?”

“What are you looking at!” Knowing that Wenyan was looking at Shen Jinghe, Shen Jingchuan instantly moved to block her view, “Wrapped up like a zongzi, I almost didn’t recognize you. How about that? You’re happy to see me, aren’t you!”

“Yeah!” Wenyan nodded vigorously, “Happy!! You’ve lost weight, the past few days must have been tough, right?”

“How could that be?” Shen Jingchuan refused to lose face, “I’ve been living great. If I look skinny, that’s because I’ve got a small face, OK?”

“OK, OK!” But Wenyan’s heart was not really with Shen Jingchuan at the moment.

She had already started ranting.

[Saved a life! What’s this? Is this the inseparable fate between Shen Jinghe and Jiang Wanwan? How could they run into each other? Didn’t the production crew say that the four groups would be dropped off separately – is even this rule going to be broken?]
Although Shen Jinghe was a distance away from Wenyan, the environment was too open and quiet.

It wasn’t just Wenyan’s thoughts that he could hear clearly, but even her breathing.

He cast a discreet glance at Jiang Wanwan, who was not far off, feeling very annoyed.

It felt as if something was choking the life out of his destiny.

In the twenty-some days he had stayed with Shen Jingchuan, he hadn’t seen this Jiang Wanwan at all, and everything had been fine.

But the moment they crossed paths, he couldn’t help wanting to take a few more glances at her, which was strange indeed.

What was even stranger were Wenyan’s thoughts; she seemed to be aware of this ‘chemical’ reaction even before he was.

But since they were live streaming, he couldn’t just go and ask Wenyan directly.

After a few seconds of silence, he also put down his backpack and walked over to the group.

He took the initiative to explain to Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan why their group was there.

He then asked, “Would you guys mind if our group teamed up with yours? We can contribute.”

Of course, Wenyan had no objections.

But she still needed to consult Jiang Wanwan’s opinion.

“What do you think, Wanwan?”

“What do you say?”

“I think it’s fine. According to the rules of the show, our two groups are not in competition. In a way, it should be a win-win situation. If the four of us can last more than 30 days, then we can earn 4 million yuan for charity.”

Jiang Wanwan nodded, “I agree with Wenyan’s viewpoint. Let’s not waste words, then. You gentlemen have arrived just in time—we were about to pull up the net. It’s a job that requires strength, and honestly, just Wenyan and I alone do struggle a bit.”

“Okay! Where’s the net!” To make it easier to exert force later on, Shen Jingchuan had already taken off the homemade ice skates on his feet.

Wenyan was ready to answer his question upon hearing it.

But in the blink of an eye, Wenyan suddenly changed her mind.

“Wanwan, why don’t you take Alex to have a look at the outlet of the net, and I’ll go with Teacher Shen to the inlet and untangle the net,” Wenyan said.

As soon as she uttered those words, the other three people present all involuntarily turned their gazes toward her.

Shen Jinghe knew what she meant—she was trying to prevent him from interacting with Jiang Wanwan by any means possible.

And truth be told, he shared that sentiment—he also didn’t want to interact with Jiang Wanwan.

Shen Jingchuan was annoyed.

Why? Just moments ago, he had clearly seen Wenyan walking towards him, but before a second passed, the girl had changed her mind.

Why did she have to stick to Shen Jinghe? What was so great about that prideful Shen Jinghe?

Jiang Wanwan also glanced at Wenyan but only responded with a simple ‘okay’ before walking towards Shen Jingchuan.

“Please, come this way with me,” she said.

Since Jiang Wanwan had said ‘please,’ Shen Jingchuan couldn’t delay any further.

He couldn’t let a woman take the lead in doing the work, could he?

He swung his axe, thud thud thud, hammering it down onto the thick ice.

By this time, Wenyan had already led Shen Jinghe to the net inlet.

“Give me the shovel,” Shen Jinghe said, after taking a careful look at Wenyan and noting her healthy complexion.

“Seems like the two of you have been doing quite well these days, your complexion looks very rosy.”

Upon hearing this, Wenyan’s heart skipped a beat:
“It’s over, it’s over, he directly said ‘the two of you’! Now he’s not familiar with Wanwan, why would he even care about that”
Shen Jinghe: “……???”

What the heck? Did he just say ‘the two of you’?

Was he going insane? He clearly didn’t want to say that.

This is so annoying!!!

Shen Jinghe channeled his irritation into vigor, wielding the shovel and started hacking away at the ice.

Not far off, Shen Jingchuan, hearing Shen Jinghe working so vigorously, picked up his pace even more, nearly sending sparks flying with his axe.

Wenyan, watching the conduct of the two men, didn’t find anything amiss.

However, Jiang Wanwan evidently fell silent—there was something odd about these two.

After that, Shen Jinghe hardly spoke anymore.

Once the preparations were done, the four of them began pulling the net together.

The pulling was particularly strenuous due to the chunks of ice on the lake bed.

Not even halfway through, they were all drenched in sweat, forced to take off their coats despite the freezing weather.

As soon as the coats came off, white vapor began to rise from their bodies.

Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe, fearing Wenyan might catch a cold, both subconsciously increased their efforts.

After an exertion that felt like moving mountains and rivers, they finally managed to haul the entire fishing net to the surface.

Fortunately, nature favored these poor souls and didn’t let their efforts go to waste.
