Even After My Death-Chapter 105 - 90: Mu Mingxuan X Huo Miao, Recommended to Lock.
Chapter 105: Chapter 90: Mu Mingxuan X Huo Miao, Recommended to Lock.
Jiang Ning pondered for a while, "We can’t rule out that possibility."
Otherwise, there would be no explaining why the crew had been gone for so long.
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter!!!]
[The crew is in danger.]
[Nong Chun successfully distracted Jiang Ning’s thoughts, hahaha]
[What are the two of them planning to do now? Self-rescue?]
Even though Nong Chun said that, deep down he still found it hard to accept that the crew could truly be in trouble; after all, they were fine when they arrived yesterday!
But after hearing Jiang Ning’s response, Nong Chun felt somewhat alarmed; he felt that it shouldn’t happen, yet if the director and the rest were okay, why hadn’t they returned?
Nong Chun’s face paled, "What should we do now, then?"
Jiang Ning glanced at him, "Don’t be afraid. This is just our own speculation, it’s possible that the crew is already on their way to pick us up."
Nong Chun frowned, not at all reassured by Jiang Ning’s words.
Jiang Ning returned to her tent and took out the island map that the director had given her to examine closely.
On the map, not only was the exact location of the safe house marked, but also those places with water sources and supply packs were indicated.
Jiang Ning pointed, "Since we’re idle today, why not go look for the supply packs the crew left nearby, and also this water source closest to us?"
With the crew still absent, everyone on the desolate island had to prepare for the worst.
Jiang Ning made up her mind, "If the crew doesn’t show up today, then we’ll have to save ourselves."
Actually, there was another guess in her mind, but Jiang Ning did not voice it. Anyway, it was best to go into the forest and check the situation first.
[Jiang Ning’s line of thought is good!]
[Finally, someone suggested looking for the supply packs and water sources!]
[Every time Jiang Ning speaks, she makes people feel especially reassured.]
[From watching yesterday to today, I’ve become a fan of Jiang Ning somehow; she seems quite emotionally stable at times.]
Nong Chun was just a young man in his twenties, and the reason he had signed up for the show was the considerable reward offered, not expecting such an unforeseen circumstance to arise.
The crew had been absent for a day and a night; frankly, Nong Chun was a bit scared. However, seeing how strong Jiang Ning’s words were and her gaze so calm and resolute, Nong Chun inexplicably felt less panicked.
The two of them packed up and then proceeded into the forest, following the directions on the map.
Meanwhile, back at the other location.
After leaving Jiang Ning and Nong Chun’s resting place, Mu Mingxuan felt humiliated by everyone witnessing the scuffle where Jiang Ning had him pinned to the ground, and once out of Jiang Ning’s sight, he clenched his fist and said angrily, "I didn’t sleep well because of the rain last night, and I feel somewhat unwell now, my head is dizzy."
[No wonder Miaomiao’s fiancé was beaten so badly, it turns out he was feeling unwell.]
[It makes sense, after getting drenched in the forest for most of the night, not eating or sleeping well, anyone would feel weak.]
Upon hearing this, Huo Miao immediately showed a worried expression, "Brother Mingxuan, you’re not sick, are you? It’s all my fault... If I had known, I would not have asked to borrow Jiang Ning’s tent, then you wouldn’t have had that conflict with her."
As she spoke, Huo Miao sighed, "Jiang Ning too, it’s something from so long ago, why bring it up today. The hospital bill for her stay, it was all paid by you. This matter should be put behind us already."
[What... Huo Miao, what are you saying? Do you even know what you’re talking about?]
[If I remember correctly, didn’t Jiang Ning just say she was hospitalized for a month? Isn’t covering the medical expenses the least you could do?]
[Not to mention that you all know each other, even if a stranger was in a coma in the hospital for a month because of you, you should not only cover the medical bills but also take full responsibility for the incident!]
[Exactly, were there compensation for mental anguish and other expenses?]
[No wonder Jiang Ning kicked all the Huo family members into the pool after coming out of the hospital... Now it seems there were traces that foreshadowed it.]
[If I were knocked unconscious in a hospital for a month and they had this attitude, I would absolutely sue them into bankruptcy! Jiang Ning is just too honest, only beating them up once, and not even with a physical body!]
[He deserved to be beaten!]
[I’ve always heard people criticize Jiang Ning’s values. Now I want to ask Huo Miao’s fans, what the hell is stuffed inside your idol’s head?]
As the show "Survive for 30 Days" became more and more popular, the number of netizens watching the live broadcast also increased. These netizens were not fans of any guests, they were just interested in the show, so they came to watch. Naturally, they discussed matters objectively, without any bias.
Before, Huo Miao’s fans might have used their numbers to suppress the opinions of others. But in front of these millions of viewers, those fans coming to speak for Huo Miao seemed rather insignificant.
Huo Miao still didn’t realize that her words just now had lowered her image in the eyes of many viewers. She was busy trying to garner favor from Mu Mingxuan, and indeed, after her speech, the expression on Mu Mingxuan’s face visibly improved a lot.
The other guests were somewhat silent, not participating at all in the conversation between Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan.
Slowly, everyone walked back to where the tents had been set up the day before.
After the seawater receded, the area where the tents had been erected was a mess.
Last night, everyone had fled from their tents in panic, only Ling Bo, Mu Mingxuan, Yuan Wei, and Lin Qi had remembered to take their backpacks with them in the chaos.
The backpacks of the other few who had left theirs in the tents were pitifully soaked by the seawater, rendering many of their belongings unusable.
Several of the tents were in the same condition; quite a few were washed away by the sea. Currently, there were only three tents visible on the beach, but they had all been damaged by the water.
Silently, everyone moved forward to clean up the mess.
Huo Ziheng rummaged through his backpack and pulled out medicinal wine to rub on Mu Mingxuan.
Mu Mingxuan, who had been beaten black and blue, suffered a lot of punches from Jiang Ning all over his body, resulting in soreness everywhere.
When Huo Ziheng extended his hand to apply the medicine, Mu Mingxuan gasped from the pain and couldn’t help but grimace.
Seeing that others were gathering supplies scattered across the beach, Mu Mingxuan stopped hiding his pain and whispered to Huo Ziheng, "What’s going on with Jiang Ning, how did she suddenly get so strong?"
"...I don’t know, she’s been like this since she was discharged from the hospital." Huo Ziheng, seeing Mu Mingxuan in such a sorry state, couldn’t help but remember how Jiang Ning had severely beaten him and his twin brother half a month earlier.
Mu Mingxuan’s face was cloudy: "It’s because she grew up in the countryside! Pure brute force, not ladylike at all, no manners whatsoever! With her kind of temper that resorts to violence over nothing, it’s not just our Mu family that would disdain her; any slightly decent family wouldn’t accept such a person as a daughter-in-law."
If the identities of Jiang Ning and Huo Miao hadn’t been switched at birth, Jiang Ning would be Mu Mingxuan’s true fiancée, so it made sense from his perspective to make such remarks.
However, the viewers watching the live broadcast were confused after hearing his words:
[What the hell? What’s wrong with growing up in the countryside? Why attack rural people?]
[Rural people have no manners? With over ninety percent of our country’s population coming from a peasant background, you’re saying they all lack manners?]
[I also grew up in the countryside. I’ve been feeding chickens, ducks, and pigs since I was little. When school let out, I had to rush out to cut pig grass and then hurry back to cook and do the laundry for the whole family... I’ve been doing household chores since I was young and had more strength than many boys. By that logic, does it mean I shouldn’t bother getting married?]
[Mu Mingxuan, you’re both silly and bad-hearted to say such a thing! You’re not innocent at all for getting beaten up! You’re responsible for Jiang Ning’s month-long unconsciousness in the hospital, and now she only beat you up without demanding compensation or sending you to jail, and you think you’re in the right?]
[Jiang Ning isn’t even his fiancée, how dare he say such a thing?]
[Verdict: Huo Miao X Mu Mingxuan, both clearly have issues with their brains, suggest locking them up forever!]
[Something’s off; it feels like there’s something unusual about their relationship]
...
Mu Mingxuan’s words had provoked public outrage. The viewers were united in their disdain, viewing Mu Mingxuan in an extremely negative light, and by extension, began to dislike Huo Miao, who was his fiancée.
If it were an ordinary day, or if he were in public, Mu Mingxuan would never have made such remarks. Unaware of the live broadcast, he thought his words were only heard by Huo Ziheng, so he couldn’t help but vent his frustrations, revealing his true thoughts.
This led to the current situation.
The audience: Instantly annoyed!
