Chapter 349 An Uneasy Ye Lingchen

Chen Xiaoyan was very beautiful, especially under the moonlight at that moment. She seemed to be covered in a layer of silver light.

Ye Lingchen looked at Chen Xiaoyan’s smile for a moment, then touched his nose and looked away rather rigidly.

“Can you keep me company and walk with me along the beach?” Chen Xiaoyan suddenly asked.

“Mm.” Ye Lingchen jumped from the tree and the two walked silently toward the beach.

Under the silent night and the sea breeze, a man and a woman walked on the beach without saying a single word.

During that period, Chen Xiaoyan turned her head from time to time in order to look at Ye Lingchen’s face. Her eyes blurred up and she smiled secretly from time to time.

“Y, are you very young?” Chen Xiaoyan asked all of a sudden.

The corner of Ye Lingchen’s mouth curled up slightly and he shook his head. “You know I’m not young.”

Chen Xiaoyan lightly pshaw-ed, and she blushed a bit. She could not help wiping the corners of her mouth with her hands and rolled her eyes at him. “Men are all the same.”

“Hey, don’t make a mistake here. I’m the one who was forced to, okay?” Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly and remarked.

Chen Xiaoyan stopped suddenly and stuck out her ruddy lilac tongue toward Ye Lingchen. She licked her lips. “Do you want to revisit it?”

Ye Lingchen’s body stiffened abruptly and he quickly turned his head before coughing violently.

“Tch, you want it but you don’t have the guts.” Chen Xiaoyan pouted, then said, “If you want it, I’ll go to the tent with you, how about it?”

“Stop kidding.” Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes. She suddenly tiptoed, hugged Ye Lingchen’s neck, and raised her head. Their lips were facing each other.

After a brief peck, Chen Xiaoyan’s beautiful eyes gazed deeply at Ye Lingchen and she said, “Thank you so much, Y. You gave me a new life, dispelled the darkness, and filled my world with beauty.”

Chen Xiaoyan let go and trotted back toward the bamboo house without waiting for Ye Lingchen to speak.

Ye Lingchen looked at her rear figure, raised his hand to touch his nose, and sighed.

Wanted it but had no guts? Why was he so modest?!

…

In the next three days, the reception for Survival on Deserted Island was improving. The number of people who were online for the live stream increased tremendously too, although many people proposed to change ‘Survival on Deserted Island’ into ‘A Life to Long For’.

Since everyone was too leisurely, not only could Ye Lingchen catch game, he also made delicious food from it. It was simply heaven!

On that day, the dazzling sunlight shone down and landed on the sea, reflecting the dazzling rays of light. The day was also a very sunny one.

Toot, toot, toot!

At that moment, whistling sounds came from the distant sea, prompting everyone to stand up instinctively and look into the distance.

“There’s a ship coming!” Dalei said in surprise. “Why is a ship coming?”

“Director, is it because the show is ending early? Why would a ship come over?”

“Are we going to change location?”

Everyone began throwing guesses as they looked at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong’s expression was calm. It was clear that everything had been arranged by him, but he did not give any answer. Instead, a smirk appeared in the corner of his mouth, which sent a chill down everyone’s spine and made them feel a bad hunch.

The ship was the same ship that sent everyone to the island previously. There was no unnecessary nonsense and they simply tossed a few kayaks from the ship before leaving without a single word.

“They’re going back?”

“What’s going on? What’s the meaning of these kayaks?”

“Everyone, gather round!”

Zhang Yong shouted, “I’m now officially announcing that Survival on Deserted Island has launched a new program! Escape from Deserted Island begins now!”

Escape from Deserted Island?

Everyone pondered on it.

“Director Zhang, do you want us to paddle to the opposite island with this kayak?” Ye Lingchen asked.

Zhang Yong grinned slightly. “You guessed it, Y!”

“What? This can’t be? With this kind of kayak, how long do we have to paddle?”

“F*CK! This is too much! It’s very tiring, you know?”

“I seriously doubt our kayak will not be pushed back if the wind blows!”

Everyone wailed.

The program team obviously ignored everyone’s wailing and announced, “Following the team designation that you came here with, there are a total of three groups with two people sharing a kayak. This is a test of your chemistry and unity!”

“I object!” Arnelle raised her hand immediately. “Little Mo and I are both girls. It’s obvious that we’re more physically weak. Director, you’re not being fair to us!”

“Your objection is invalid!” Zhang Yong did not intend to pity members of the fairer gender. “The team that has been formed must persevere, even during times of tears. Don’t give up, don’t give up!”

“Vicious Director!” Arnelle immediately condemned Zhang Yong.

The three groups quickly boarded the kayak according to the program team’s arrangements. At the same time, each person was also issued a life jacket to wear in the event of an emergency. A paddle was then handed to each of them.

The program team had their own kayaks. They were to follow beside everyone and protect their safety.

“How do I use this thing?” Everyone’s faces were filled with bitterness. They tried it several times, but it either turned around in the same place or retreated. They were unable to control the direction.

Arnelle and Little Mo even screamed in panic. They could not even control the kayak itself. It swayed violently from side to side as if it could turn over at any time.

Ye Lingchen was the only exception. He casually moved the paddle several times and propped the kayak forward quickly, as if there was no resistance at all. Aside from that, he could also control the direction and paddle around the crowd.

“Y, have you ever learned to kayak before?” Everyone was dumbfounded. That guy knew anything and everything!

“Not too shabby. I’ve read a bit of theoretical knowledge before,” Ye Lingchen remarked lightly.

One could do that with a little theoretical knowledge?

Hehe, full marks for that pretentiousness!

“Firstly, your posture on the kayak and the position you’re holding the paddle with isn’t correct. Paddling doesn’t take effort, but skill.” Ye Lingchen looked at them and explained while providing a demonstration. “It should be like this… Then like this… And this…”

Arnelle did it exactly according to Ye Lingchen’s method and immediately revealed her joy. “It really is very stable! The kayak can move forward!”

“F*ck, this method is indeed effective. It’s just as Y said,” Dalei and Brother Yang also laughed and said.

Everyone smiled and began to move slowly toward the destination.

Since it was a kayak and many people there were novices, they did not advance that fast, but no one was in a hurry. They talked and laughed along the way while enjoying the sea breeze. It was relaxing and uncomfortable.

At that moment however, Ye Lingchen’s eyes suddenly began twitching violently.

His heart froze slightly and he looked at the surrounding sea. Under the light sea breeze, there was only a tiny wave for as far as the eye can see.

Ye Lingchen’s sense of uncertainty was getting stronger and stronger. It was too calm and too tranquil that it was absolutely horrifying.

Ye Lingcheng’s gaze swept across everyone’s face and his expression sank dramatically. He shouted out at once, “EVERYONE! HURRY BACK AS FAST AS YOU CAN!”
