not in love

"With your words, there will not be more than ten apples in Teacher Ke's basket today."

Lin Xie squatted down in satisfaction to check whether the shoelaces were fastened. After moving his arms twice, he unstoppably walked towards Keman, who was several rows of trees away.

"Don't go too far, Keman has no enmity with us."

"It's okay, Mr. Ke has a good temper."

Lin Xie paused,

"Then leave Song Tiqing to you? If he dares to bully you, remember to come and complain to me."

"Bully me? Is he worthy?"

Yu Zhijuan snorted coldly.

Keman is a nice person, it would be a bit wicked to obstruct other people's games for no reason, but when facing Song Tiqing, he would not have such concerns.

How did Song Tiqing slander Lin Xie last night?

Yu Zhijuan narrowed his eyes lightly, intending to kick Song Tiqing directly at his basket after he found it.

"Everyone—"

Cui Zhumei's voice suddenly spread through the fruit forest through the loudspeaker, Lin Xie and Yu Zhijuan stopped at the same time, thinking that she was adding some new rules of the game.

"Although it is sudden, I want to announce to everyone that the winner of the second round of FE has been chosen! Let us congratulate Han Ruirui!"

"...Han Ruirui?"

Yu Zhijuan frowned. The game started less than 10 minutes ago, and the fastest Loki just filled half a basket of apples. When did Han Ruirui complete the task?

"Go to the verification desk?"

Lin Xie suggested.A few minutes ago they met Han Ruirui when they were picking baskets at the gate of the orchard. At that time, Han Ruirui was still picking and complaining, saying that such a big basket would not be enough to fill it all afternoon.

Not just the two of them, other guests dropped the apples in their hands one after another, and approached the verification platform with doubts and curiosity, wanting to find out and see how Han Ruirui won.

"Cui PD, your program team is playing with us!"

As soon as I got out of the orchard, I saw Song Tiqing aggressively pointing at the lonely apple on the verification platform, arguing with Cui Zhumei indignantly,

"An apple? What do you mean? You just said that you would fill a whole basket with your own words, and you co-authored us as fools, right? Last night's Chen Hao, today's Han Ruirui, your program team has already made an internal decision." Winner!"

"But Han Ruirui really filled her basket,"

Facing Song Tiqing's angry accusation, Cui Zhumei unhurriedly lifted Han Ruirui's basket from the other side of the verification platform—a hand-woven basket the size of a palm.

"Look, can't this fit in perfectly?"

Cui Zhumei picked up the handle of the apple while talking, and stuffed the big red lonely apple into the small basket,

"I've reminded everyone that today's game is not just a test of physical strength. When the rules were announced, I didn't say that everyone should use the same big baskets. Rather, I should praise everyone for consciously choosing those big baskets."

"You guys are out of your mind for planning. Anyway, I don't accept the result of this game."

After Song Tiqing protested to no avail, he could only dryly kick the basket next to his legs to relieve his anger, and when Mi Chen saw it as expected, he sneered again,

"Song Da musician, don't you can't afford it. Besides, the minority obeys the majority. What's the use if you don't accept it alone? Or you decide the rules of the game?"

"Absurd...! This kind of opportunistic method is really thanks to all of you who are willing to accept it!"

Song Tiqing snorted coldly and entered the villa cursingly, Han Ruirui, who was reprimanded by him, smiled a little embarrassedly,

"I... I just saw such a small basket on the ground, and I wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect the verification to be successful."

"It's okay, my sister thinks you're doing the right thing,"

Mi Chen shrugged,

"Song Tiqing just hates you for snatching his quota of outlying islands. He is looking forward to leaving now more than anyone else. He has offended us all over in just two days. It's really okay."

"His mouth is always broken, don't take it to heart,"

Lu Youyou hugged Han Ruirui's shoulders,

"Winning the game is something to be happy about. You haven't had a mobile phone or a live broadcast for so long. Your fans must miss you very much. When you go to the island tonight, you must have a big meal!"

"Woo, but I can't bear you,"

Han Ruirui buried herself in Lu Youyou's arms,

"I really didn't expect to be friends with a big star like you."

"Hey, at most I'll only stay here for another ten days. I'll play with you when I get off the island. Anyway, I don't have much to do."

Lu Youyou laughed at herself, and at the same time patted Han Ruirui on the shoulder,

"Go and pack your luggage, the program team will take you off the island later."

"By the way, I actually hid a bag of beef jerky that hasn't been opened yet. I'll leave it to you quietly later."

Han Ruirui lowered her voice, Lu Youyou couldn't help laughing, pinched her face,

"I have shopping rights today, you can take away the dried beef and eat it as a supper on the way home."

"...Well, that's fine."

Han Ruirui nodded, and reluctantly said goodbye to the others.

When it was Yu Zhijuan's turn, she tugged Yu Zhijuan's sleeve quietly, and whispered,

"Teacher Zhiyi, my fans and I love you very much! We will always stand by your side!"

"……thanks."

Yu Zhijuan couldn't help laughing.

Han Ruirui said it implicitly, but he could understand that it was persuading him to divorce.

It seems that Chen Hao disgusted everyone yesterday.

"I'm on your side too."

After Han Ruirui left, Lin Xie slightly leaned over to Zhijuan's ear, imitating her appearance just now and whispering.

"Stand by my side and unswervingly support me to lose 1.9 million yuan?"

Yu Zhijuan sneered twice, and when he got off Wynn Island, it was time to start cleaning up Chen Hao and his bad company.

"It's a pity I didn't send away the lovely Granco rose today."

Lin Xie said regretfully.

"Do it again tomorrow,"

Yu Zhijuan patted his shoulder,

"Very good, so that you don't have to offend Mr. Keman."

In the evening, the dark clouds that had been floating on the edge of the skyline finally approached Wynn Island, and the cold wind pierced through the forest, circling endlessly, like the sound of whimpering, adding a bit of eerie chill to the whole island.

The blizzard, which was black against the night, also fell slowly, continuously, and was blown into pieces by the wind.

After Han Ruirui left, there was one less lively person in the villa. After dinner, the program team delivered packages according to everyone's shopping orders as scheduled.

This time, Yu Zhijuan stood on the balcony and watched, only to realize that the package was actually dropped by a helicopter, and then delivered to everyone's door by the butler robot.

It's pretty smart, and you can build a robot like this at home when you get off the island.

"It's snowing heavily,"

Lin Xie knocked on the glass door of the balcony, threw a bottle of hot milk tea to him,

"not afraid cold?"

"The heater is turned on so high that the room is too hot."

Yu Zhijuan took the milk tea, unscrewed it and smelled it, and took a sip after there was no strange smell.

"My room is cool."

"...Liar, aren't our rooms exactly the same?"

"My room is near the outer wall, so the temperature is lower."

Lin Xie smiled,

"How is it? Is Teacher Yu coming?"

"Another night of poker with you?"

Yu Zhijuan raised his eyebrows, and the conversation suddenly changed,

"Today Coleman told me that his assistant saw someone walking out of my lounge that day."

"Do you recognize who it is?"

"No, it's too general to describe, but I heard him say that that person once stopped in front of your billboard."

"I'm next?"

Lin Xie smiled lowly, without any worry or fear.

"I thought about it carefully. Since that person had the ability to send the gift box to my lounge, but didn't stay there waiting for me, he probably didn't want to be recognized by me."

"...Can the suspicion of Loki be ruled out?"

"He worked hard to win the championship in Finland that month, and there were many related reports. It should not be him."

Yu Zhijuan sighed,

"Looking at it this way, Wynn Island, which is isolated from the world, is actually safer."

"Worrying about me?"

"You have me by your side on the island, and you have a long way to go when you get off the island. What do I worry about you?"

Yu Zhijuan reached out to catch half a handful of snow, squeezed it firmly, and threw it out of the window, smashing a hole in the swimming pool that had already accumulated a thin layer of snow.

"...the water in the pool hasn't frozen yet?"

"Cui Zhumi seems to have said that the hot water in the swimming pool can be used as a hot spring."

Lin Xie also followed Yu Zhijuan's example and made a snowball and threw it into the swimming pool.

The heavy snow fell all night like this, and all the vegetation on the island was covered in snow. When I woke up in the morning and opened the curtains, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.

Under the urging of the program group's noisy wake-up call, the guests lazily gathered in the living room for breakfast.

Breakfast time is also the time to release personal tasks every day. Cui Zhumei is punctual and sits at the dining table with a card draw box waiting for them.

Compared with Choi Joo-mi, who was wearing delicate makeup and drinking morning tea, all the guests looked particularly haggard and sleepy.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the house was quiet and warm. Everyone wanted to stay in bed for a while.

Even Yu Zhijuan felt that he slept very soundly last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was morning, and he didn't even hear a seabird call.

"Morning, Brother Zhiyi, I'm trapped to death."

Loki stretched himself while greeting them, Mi Chen kindly pushed a cup of hot coffee in front of him,

"Loki come and try this, this is the handmade coffee I just ordered yesterday."

"Did Sister Mi Chen tune it by herself?"

"of course."

Mi Chen smiled smugly, and even poured everyone a glass.

Of course Yu Zhijuan knew that her ulterior motives were not in drinking, but in Lin Xie.

"Lin Xie, would you like a drink?"

Mi Chen shook the coffee cup in his hand, poured one without any explanation, and handed it to Lin Xie.

"Mr. Lin doesn't drink."

Yu Zhijuan raised his hand to stop Lin Xie.

Mi Chen's eyes widened immediately,

"I gave this to Lin Xie, what does it matter to you?"

"Last night, Teacher Lin and I drank coffee all night, why don't you ask him if he still has a drink?"

Yu Zhijuan made up the story irresponsibly, in fact, as long as Mi Chen asked seriously, he would know that they went back to their respective rooms to rest early last night, but he guessed that Mi Chen would not be so calm.

"You two?? Alone??"

Sure enough, Mi Chen was so angry that he almost swung the coffee out of the cup.

"Yes. The coffee made by Mr. Yu is delicious."

Lin Xie added fuel and vinegar.

Hearing the sound, Mi Chen only felt his head went blank, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and Yu Zhijuan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice,

"You have a husband, you don't want your reputation, don't you want Lin Xie? Can you stop hurting him!"

"He drank very happily, how can I call him harm?"

Yu Zhijuan shrugged disapprovingly.

"you……!!"

Mi Chen blushed, but had no words to refute.

There is an old-fashioned fireplace in the inner corner of the restaurant, which seems to complement the majestic snow outside the window. At the moment, it is crackling and burning smokeless firewood, squeezing out bursts of warm charcoal fragrance.

"Alright, alright, let's draw the task first!"

Cui Zhumei saw the timing and inserted the words, rolled her eyes, and conveniently stuffed the drawer box in front of Yu Zhijuan,

"Let's start today with Zhiyi!"

Yu Zhijuan cooperatively reached in and took out a random task card, but he didn't expect that it would be a public mission card with a red background.

"I'll help you read it to everyone."

Cui Zhumei probably realized something, and snatched his task card quickly before Zhijuan stuffed the card back into the card drawer.

"Ahem, let me take a look, Yu Zhiyi's task today is... to dress up and serve everyone for an hour!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Youyou skillfully raised her hand to ask questions.

"It's just serving tea and pouring water for everyone, like a waiter,"

Cui Zhumei explained, "Of course, if you have anything you need to know and do, you can just mention it."

"How do you dress this up?"

Yu Zhijuan asked for himself.

Obviously, he felt that the word "dress up" was more dangerous than "serve everyone".

"Ask on point,"

Cui Zhumei smiled, pulled out the dressing wardrobe from the previous day, and picked out the outfit that matched this task card accurately.

"I'll go, exciting."

Xu Ruqing couldn't hold back his surprise.

"I reject."

Yu Zhijuan glanced at it lightly, and decisively threw the task card into the trash can.

He would rather lose his shopping privileges today than wear the lace-trimmed maid outfit in Cui Zhumei's hands.
