Does Laughing Count as a Crime? How Many Years Would I Get?

The confusion in those large, bewildered eyes was captured in vivid detail by the camera.

That was right—when had Jiang Fang ever said Bai Ziyu pushed him?

The livestream chat fell silent for a moment.

Even the guests who had spoken up for Bai Ziyu exchanged uneasy looks.

"Wasn't that what you meant—that Ziyu pushed you? What now? You want to shirk responsibility because things have blown up? And you can still laugh?" Long Aozhi was the first to lose his patience, stepping forward to accuse Jiang Fang.

"That wasn't what I meant..." Jiang Fang looked around, lowering his gaze with a wronged expression.

"I just hadn't been sleeping well these past few days, so I even went and got an evil-repelling talisman. Don't people say that these inexplicable things happen because something unclean is causing trouble? I saw Ziyu crying, so I thought he'd been scared too." As he spoke, Jiang Fang took the talisman from his bag and showed it to everyone. "Besides... is laughing a crime now? How many years would I get?"

Qin Yan, who had been standing to the side expressionlessly, could not help the slight curve of his lips. Fang Yi, however, completely lost it at Jiang Fang's last remark. He burst into laughter so hard he could barely catch his breath, drawing everyone's attention.

"Sorry, I didn't know laughing was illegal. Please don't call the police." Fang Yi bent over with laughter, bracing himself against a tree as he spoke.

Long Aozhi's face turned livid, but Fang Yi was his senior. He did not dare say anything and could only endure it.

The atmosphere became awkward, leaving only Fang Yi's brazen laughter.

[That does seem to be the case. Jiang Fang clearly didn't say anything, and he didn't even cry after falling. Bai Ziyu was the one who started crying first.]

[Hahahahaha, "laughing is a crime," my ass! Looking at Jiang Fang's innocent little face, I honestly can't tell whether he really thinks that or if he's being sarcastic.]

[Is Bai Ziyu too sensitive? Jiang Fang clearly didn't mean that. Bai Ziyu's words even misled me.]

[Hahahahaha, Jiang Fang is killing me. He actually believed this stuff and went to buy an evil-repelling talisman.]

[Bai Ziyu's expression is so entertaining—turning red one second and green the next.]

[I'm dying, how is Fang Yi so good at picking up jokes? Hahahahaha, "don't call the police"...]

[Fang Yi! Your identity as a comedy guy has finally been exposed.]

[When Fang Fang smiles, my heart catches fire. Life imprisonment—hurry up and come serve your sentence in my heart!]

[The person above is calculating so loudly I can hear it from the Arctic.]

Bai Ziyu's expression was awful. His fists clenched tightly as he wondered whether Jiang Fang had noticed anything. Seeing that he could no longer keep this situation under control, and that dragging it out would only make everyone dissatisfied with him, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Fang. I misunderstood you. It's just that, it's just that..." Your words were too easy to misunderstand.

Knowing this white lotus's usual tricks, Jiang Fang naturally would not give him a chance to continue. He cut him off directly.

"It's fine, Ziyu. I accept your apology."

Bai Ziyu: ...Fuck! I wasn't apologizing to you!

He had clearly come to throw shade at Jiang Fang!

Bai Ziyu was so angry his mouth twisted, but there was no benefit in arguing further at this point. He could only suppress the urge to strangle Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang, just you wait!

Seeing that the matter had finally settled down, the director hurriedly took out his microphone.

"Alright, alright!"

"Jiang Fang, is your foot still okay? Can you keep filming?" He had already realized that Jiang Fang was the kind of person who attracted chaos and controversy. He might as well use this opportunity to send him back and find someone else.

After nearly facing death, Jiang Fang probably would not want to continue.

However—

"Director, I can!" Jiang Fang answered eagerly, with no awareness whatsoever that he had just narrowly escaped death.

Director: ...I should never have agreed to let Bai Ziyu stuff him into the show!

And who knew what was going on with Bai Ziyu? Not only had he gone to great lengths to bring Jiang Fang in, but the two of them did not even get along.

"Fine. There isn't much time left. Since everyone has landed safely, you now need to find a suitable campsite on foot and prepare your own food. For the next seven days, you'll each have to work hard to survive! Whoever survives until the end and receives the highest public vote will win the show's mysterious grand prize!"

"Everyone has an emergency contact button on their wrist. Press it if you encounter difficulties or wish to withdraw, and the production team will send someone to rescue you. However, anyone who presses the button will lose their chance at the mysterious grand prize!"

"The rules have been announced. Now, everyone come forward and choose your starter mystery boxes!"

Considering that the celebrities and ordinary participants were not professionals, the production team had still prepared some survival gear. Before beginning the survival mission, each person would receive a single-person tent. Other than that, there were only the mystery boxes prepared by the production team.

After choosing their mystery boxes in order, the wilderness survival challenge officially began.

[It's finally starting! I've finally gotten to my favorite part, wilderness survival!]

[Hahahahaha, we used to watch king-level Bear Grylls. Now let's switch things up—a celebrity version is bound to be fun.]

[Go, Yuyu! Yuyu is the best!]

[A mystery-box tool kit? Wouldn't it be awful if you got useless tools?]

After receiving his mystery-box tool kit, Jiang Fang casually shook it. The items inside immediately clattered around, so they seemed to be small things.

He walked over to the shade beneath a tree and opened the box.

The contents immediately came into view: several small jars, a magnesium rod, several human family-planning products, and a wire saw.

Taking a closer look at the jars, he found that they were seasonings—and one of them was even honey!

Jiang Fang raised an eyebrow. His luck was not bad.

Carefully packing everything away again, Jiang Fang headed in the direction he remembered.

The following camera captured what was inside his box, but the livestream viewers reacted differently.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sure enough, even heaven can't stand him. He didn't even get food—let's see how smug he can be now!]

[This is karma, right? Hahahahaha, I'm betting Jiang Fang will be the first one eliminated. He doesn't even have a knife.]

[Let me see what he got. Seasonings? Condoms? And some little stick I can't identify. That rope might be a little useful, I guess. Hahahahaha, Jiang Fang definitely won't last a day!]

[Yuyu is so lucky! He actually got food and a flashlight! And a cup! So lucky!]

[Lin Sen's luck is pretty good too. A lighter and insect repellent, which is what you need most in the wilderness. He even got a little pot!]

[I went around all the livestream rooms and found that everyone has rations. Yuyu and Lin Sen have the best luck. The movie emperor and Fang Yi have things like knives, rope, and compasses. Long Aozhi even has a first-aid kit and water purifier. Jiang Fang's side is the poorest.]

[Hahahahaha, this is karma. He offended everyone right from the start—let's see what he does now.]

[Once no one pays attention to him, maybe he'll come begging with his tail between his legs. That'll be fun. I bet no one will help him!]

Before the livestream chat could finish mocking him, Qin Yan walked straight toward Jiang Fang.

"Want to work together?"
