Wen He hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't tell him the ending of her dream.
He himself was still confused about the dream, so he couldn't just make things up; it wouldn't be good if he disappointed President Xie...
"Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to."
"I... don't want to."
Wen He clenched the hem of her clothes with her fingertips, looked up and stared directly at the other person, her eyes full of determination.
Ji Chi treated him very well, and he couldn't deceive him just for the sake of the game.
It took Wen He a lot of courage to say those words. Without waiting for a response, he quickly lowered his head, leaving a small swirl in the other person's eyes.
A white dove flew from somewhere and landed on Wen He's shoulder.
Xie Zhengci softly and patted Wen He's shoulder reassuringly, "Yes, it's my fault. We can achieve victory on our own."
"Yes," Wen He nodded in response.
"Alright, let's go look for clues?"
Wen He didn't want to go to Ji Chi, but someone was willing to come to her.
Saint Ma Island is at its most beautiful in the evening, just before sunset.
I'd only ever heard of sunset over Golden Mountain before, but today everyone has witnessed firsthand what sunset over Golden Island truly is.
Ji Chi crept up behind Wen He, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and squeezed hard.
Wen He was startled and turned around sharply, but returned to normal after seeing who it was.
Why are you always like this?
Ignoring the boy's coquettish tone, Ji Chi took out his phone and took a picture of the golden sky.
"Don't you still owe me a drawing?"
"I've already finished drawing..." Wen He began somewhat guiltily.
Actually, no...
"Let's take a picture, then you go back and draw this. I want to see it the day after tomorrow."
Ji Chi switched the camera to the front, and the two changed their position, facing away from the sea. He put one arm around Wen He's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
"Shall we strike a pose?"
Wen He raised her hand in a peace sign and smiled faintly.
In the photo, Ji Chi is half a head taller than Wen He. He bends down and presses his face close to hers, snapping a picture in the instant Wen He looks puzzled.
"This isn't pretty, I didn't even smile..."
Wen He was unhappy with the photo in his hand, but Ji Chi didn't think so; he thought Wen He looked beautiful in the photo.
It's a hundred times better than those photos that only show a zombie's fake smile.
"Draw this, I've sent it to you."
He carefully put his phone away, not wanting the other person to see his phone wallpaper...
Why do I feel like these two are being so lovey-dovey?
[I also think it's really wrong, you know?]
Something must have happened when they went out.
[I think so too, could they actually be together?]
Zhang Shengsheng is eliminated from Yun Li!
Zhang Shengsheng is eliminated from Yun Li!
"?", as soon as the announcement came on, Wen He Ji Chi away from her.
He was now on the opposing side of Ji Chi and was almost fooled. Wen He hadn't forgotten his promise to Xie Zhengci to win the competition.
Ji Chi Wen He in disbelief, a rare hint of sadness in his eyes.
Xie Zhengci also snapped out of his reverie at the beautiful scenery before him. After handing the phone back to Duan Yueyang, the two of them distanced themselves again.
" Wen He, come here for a moment."
Ji Chi watched with annoyance as Wen He ran towards Xie Zhengci, kicking up a layer of sand as she ran.
He shouted at Wen He, "I know who you are."
Wen He turned around, her eyes filled with confusion.
"An angel," Ji Chi casually, his hands in his pockets, his eyes seemingly seeing through everything. "An angel, isn't she?"
Wen He stood there stunned. Xie Zhengci turned around and led her away, leaving his back to them.
"Angels...?!" Duan Yueyang licked his lips, confirming their identities with Ji Chi, preparing to make his move.
"I'm just guessing. Of course, if you want to take a gamble, you can try to eliminate Xie Zhengci?"
Duan Yueyang hesitated and didn't move. He didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward. He needed to have a reliable lead before he dared to make a move.
He needs to get his date card for tomorrow...
That's right, Duan Yueyang and Ji Chi's identities are plants.
The distance between the two people in front of him grew further and further. After moving away from them, Xie Zhengci sat back down in the church.
The bright lights illuminated the outside of the church clearly. Wen He sat in a chair and asked Xie Zhengci.
"He guessed who we were, but doesn't the fact that Ji Chi didn't eliminate me mean they're not plants?"
Xie Zhengci chuckled, "I don't know, but Ji Chi's elimination probably isn't for that reason. On the contrary, they are very likely plants."
That's not the reason?
Wen He's mind was clearly a little slow, and he obediently looked at Xie Zhengci, waiting for the other party to analyze the situation.
"I suspect Ji Chi have obtained a lead, and they're coming specifically for us."
Xie Zhengci looked at the boy's blank expression and couldn't help but laugh. The boy looked so dazed, like the lucky bamboo in his office, which would move at the slightest touch.
"Then what do we do?"
"Let's avoid them for now. One team has already been eliminated. Let them fight amongst themselves for a while, and we'll wait for the final 2v2."
"Okay," Wen He nodded obediently.
The two sat down to rest on a bench outside the church.
Jiang Ye and Wei Xun are human... Zhang Shengsheng and Yun Li, whom they just eliminated, are small animals. Now their goal has changed; they need to find plants and evade attacks from demons.
Where to go now?
Jiang Ye shook his head. "Let's take it one step at a time and look for clues first."
"Can."
The sun has set on the coastline, night has fallen, and now it's time for the demons to emerge...
Zhou Siyu smiled smugly and, together with Jiang Yu, stepped forward to pat Jiang Ye and Wei Xun on the back.
"Eliminate humanity!"
With their voices echoing, Jiang Ye and his companion were successfully eliminated.
"Huh?!" Jiang Ye, realizing what was happening, was met with only two bright smiles.
"Heh heh ha ha! You've been defeated by us!"
Zhou Siyu excitedly high-fived Jiang Yu, and the two walked together toward the church.
Jiang Ye sighed softly in resignation. The night was too dark, and although there were streetlights, he kept assuming that the people following the two were the production crew filming.
"Okay, then good luck to you guys."
Jiang Ye and Wei Xun stepped onto the boat prepared by the production team, their feet sinking into the fine sand.
For safety reasons, Saint Ma Island usually closes around 7 p. m., and at this moment there is less than an hour left before closing time.
Wen He reached out and swatted the mosquito that had bitten his calf, then crossed his arms.
The cool sea breeze made him feel a little cold.
While he was still in a daze, someone suddenly patted him on the back.
"Little angel, you're eliminated~"
A seductive yet sunny voice suddenly appeared in his ear, sending Wen He Duan Yueyang Ji Chi standing in the distance.
Xie Zhengci realized what was happening and turned to run, but that's when the unexpected happened.
Ji Chi, who was furthest away from the group, was ambushed by Zhou Siyu.
Ji Chi Wen He are eliminated!
