not in love

The snow on Wynn Island has been falling continuously for a whole day, and the light white and sunny colors on the sky seem to have been crushed into snow and crashed down, leaving only gloomy and dim clouds.

The entire island is completely covered in fluffy snow, and one foot in the garden is a footprint as deep as the calf.

The pine and cypress branches stretching outside the window finally couldn't bear the weight on the branches, and a large mass of thick snow was shaken off with a bang, and it hit the window sill with a muffled loud noise.

Yu Zhijuan, who had been sleeping soundly throughout the day, was finally awakened by the loud noise. He opened his puffy eyelids, and saw Lin Xie sitting on the edge of the bed with his arms folded, reading an unbound book in his hand.

"Feeling better?"

Seeing him wake up, Lin Xie put down the book in his hand and naturally brushed back the hair on his forehead,

"The forehead doesn't seem to be hot anymore, are you hungry?"

"……hungry."

Yu Zhijuan rubbed the space between his eyebrows and waited for his consciousness to recover. When he was half asleep and half awake, he could feel that Lin Xie helped him up and drank the antipyretic medicine once. It seemed that the medicine had worked and the fever had subsided.

Lin Xie helped him sit up by helping him by his shoulders, Yu Zhijuan raised his eyes and took a deep look at Lin Xie after distinguishing between reality and dream.

"what happened?"

Lin Xie raised his eyebrows, looking a little reassured.

Yu Zhijuan raised his hand to cover Lin Xie's eyes, and then he raised the cup to aim at Lin Xie's nose, simulating how his facial features would be covered after wearing sunglasses and a mask.

It took a while to let go.

"...Lin Xie, I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat? I ordered mushroom soup and small dumplings for you. There is tremella soup secretly added by Cui Zhumei, and black sesame paste from Lu Youyou. Loki also came to deliver a black pepper noodle , I guess you just woke up and couldn’t eat it, and the noodles were lumpy, so let’s deal with it first.”

Lin Xie was not in a hurry to ask what he was doing just now, but first set up a small table full of side dishes, except that the mushroom soup and dumplings were placed in beautiful bowls and plates, and other soup dishes were placed casually In the plastic lunch box used for food delivery.

The richness of their dinner on Wynn Island is directly linked to whether everyone has completed their personal tasks that day, because the dinner is also ordered in the shopping system. If there is no permission on the day, the only thing that can be obtained is a meat and a vegetarian meal. A light box lunch with a box of rice.

"What do you want to eat?"

Lin Xie asked.

"Eat what you order."

Yu Zhijuan was too lazy to choose, so he directly pulled over the chicken soup dumpling that was the closest and the best looking.

"Have you all had dinner...? What time is it?"

"Ten o'clock."

Lin Xie leaned on the chair with her face propped up and watched Yu Zhijuan eat.

"It's so late... how's today's game? Still can't send Loki out first?"

"Today I also abstained,"

Lin Xie paused,

"The game is real CS in the snow. It lasts for two hours. Whoever gets the least number of paint bombs in the end wins. Who do you think wins?"

"If you're not here, is it Coman?"

Yu Zhijuan chewed slowly.

He knew that Lin Xie abstained to take care of him.

"This is the reward for your correct answer."

Lin Xie forked a small piece of peeled apple, and Yu Zhijuan looked at the piece of apple with uneven flesh beside his mouth, he was stunned for a while before he opened his mouth and bit it down, and asked unintentionally,

"Mr. Lin, is this the first time you've peeled an apple by yourself?"

Lin Xie's movements were visibly stagnated for a second, and he nodded as if admitting it after a while.

"Next time, it's better to replace me,"

Yu Zhijuan couldn't help laughing twice.

Lin Xie, as the young master of the governor's family, had two brothers Lu Yao and Lu Yuan by his side since he was a child. Opportunity to peel an apple yourself.

"I'll also show off rabbit ears, the kind that won't break from the beginning to the end."

"I haven't seen a rabbit apple yet, wait until you peel it for me."

Lin Xie forked another piece and fed it to Yu Zhijuan's mouth. Although the appearance was a bit ugly and bumpy, fortunately the apple was still sweet.

"When I was young, in order to coax me and Ah Yi, my dad often cut little rabbits to show us. I learned it from him."

Yu Zhijuan explained lightly.

The so-called rabbit apple is to cut the apple into petals and cut the red peel into the shape of two pointed ears, so that the apple pieces look like little rabbits crawling on the plate.

"I haven't heard much from you about other family members other than Zhiyi."

"They are not family members. My dad almost led me to starve to death on the street after taking me out of the country on his own initiative. Ayi's situation is not much better than mine. If it weren't for Chi Ling, he would have been killed by me a long time ago." Mom sold it to a nightclub as a companion..."

Yu Zhijuan ate the last small dumpling, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with himself.

Fortunately, he is in good physical condition, and has taken antipyretics after recovering from fever. When he woke up, he hardly felt uncomfortable.

"Let's not talk about them, is Mi Chen doing anything today?"

"She stayed in her room all day, didn't participate in the game, and didn't see her at dinner,"

Lin Xie lowered his eyelids,

"I found a bracelet in your pocket. Is it hers? Are you picking it up for her?"

"She took the initiative to show her kindness to me, and her words were sincere. I thought she really wanted something from me,"

Yu Zhijuan now feels ashamed when he thinks about it. He is used to living a leisurely life and has become too slack. He is not clear about Mi Chen's attitude towards Zhiyi before.

"Speaking of which, what about the bracelet?"

"I threw it away."

Lin Xie said lightly.

"..."

Yu Zhijuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while,

"...It doesn't matter, but I don't understand, even if she wants to harm me, why would she use such a stupid method?"

"Loki went to the courtyard later, and he said that the power to the cameras in the courtyard was cut off."

"I'm not sure if Michen did it,"

Yu Zhijuan recalled,

"Cameras turned off, doors and windows replaced... If it's just to knock me into the water, there's no need to go to such a large scale."

"This time it's not like hiding a needle in a bike seat before,"

Lin Xie's tone seemed a little cold,

"She is cruel to you. If you are not you but Yu Zhiyi, an Omega who is not in good health is frozen in the snow for 10 minutes, do you think he can recover like you are now? ?”

"But if she really wants me to die, why doesn't she try to find a way to support you if she has already reached this point?"

Yu Zhijuan frowned, bit his index finger knuckles and thought for a while,

"I always felt something was weird, and looking at Mi Chen's performance and expression at the time, it was not so much that she had planned to harm me for a long time, but more like she was trying to accomplish something. I guess she should be working with someone, or Who are you using as a gunman?"

"You already have someone you suspect?"

"Unfortunately, not yet,"

Yu Zhijuan shook his head,

"According to the current information, the biggest possibility is that she and the program crew are planning something together. In that case, Cui Zhumei may be an insider. I want to talk to her."

"Cui Jumi left the island today with the winning Koman,"

Lin Xie added,

"It's to hold an emergency meeting with several other directors about today's accident."

"The snow hasn't stopped, has it?"

Yu Zhijuan raised his eyes and looked out the window upon hearing the words,

"Unexpectedly, this extreme weather did not affect their flights out of the island."

"It is said that the wind stopped at around [-] o'clock in the evening before we dared to set off."

Lin Xie obviously didn't believe what the program team said, but now that they were on the island and their mobile phones and computers were confiscated, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't build a ship or an airplane to get off work by themselves.

Yu Zhijuan sighed, the most passive situation is to forcibly hypnotize Mi Chen for questioning, but this method cannot guarantee the success rate, and if it fails, it may leave Mi Chen with a clue.

"We'll send Loki away tomorrow first,"

Lin Xie considered,

"No matter what the content of the game is, it can't be delayed anymore. After he leaves, I will send you away immediately. I don't know what will become of this island until the end."

"I go first?"

Yu Zhijuan blinked,

"If you stay alone, can you guarantee to win the game?"

"can."

Lin Xie pursed her lips,

"Teacher Yu thinks I can't win against a rotten fish like Song Tiqing?"

"At least we all lost to Han Ruirui yesterday. There is no guarantee that there will be such a game after this show."

"If you are not here, I will play with them seriously, and there will be no accidents."

Lin Xie was totally fascinated by Yu Zhijuan's "brother" that day in the orchard.

"I just recalled carefully how Mi Chen pushed me into the swimming pool again,"

Yu Zhijuan thought carefully,

"Although it's just my intuition, I guess their target may not be me. Or rather than killing me, I think someone wants to see a reaction."

"reaction?"

Lin Xie slightly frowned upon hearing this.

"See how you guys will react to me falling into the water. Remember the man Coleman said his assistant bumped into?"

"You think he's on the island too?"

"It's just a guess, and I can't tell if he's among us, or if he's never been there, just hiding somewhere on the island. Wyan Island is so big, I stayed here for three days, and there wasn't even a villa in the villa." It is not difficult to find out the Tibetans on the island.”

"According to that person's thinking, shouldn't he kill Mi Chen who is not kind to you now like he killed Zhou Huihui?"

"What if he killed Zhou Huihui just to see my reaction? I always feel that it was not out of Mi Chen's intention to push me into the water."

Yu Zhijuan had read a lot of psychologically distorted crime cases when he was in school, and now he feels like he is doing analysis while reading those cases—he feels that he is being spied on, or even played with.

But he couldn't determine whether "killing" was an end or a means to the person in the dark.

"I did a rough calculation. In fact, that person's thinking can be classified into two directions. If he is inclined to protect me, then he is likely to attack you, because you took his place by my side. If he For me, I am more inclined to observe for fun, so I am the one who is in danger. Of course, if there is no such person on the island at all, everything is just my speculation, and those changes are just arrangements made by the program group for future games, then It's the best."

"So after all the calculations, the danger is actually the two of us,"

Lin Xie unexpectedly let out a low laugh twice,

"Mr. Yu, do you want to sleep with me tonight? I will protect you."

"In what capacity are you going to protect me?"

Yu Zhijuan stood up suddenly and approached the chair where Lin Xie was.

After the windows were replaced with thicker glass, it was almost impossible to let in any sound of howling wind, and the warm and hot room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two remained.

Yu Zhijuan raised his hand and pressed Lin Xie's shoulder,

"Is it the actor Lin Xielin, or the young master of the chaebol, Han Yunren?"
