Chapter 227: Chapter 225: The Heart-Slaying Miss Xu

Things seemed a little awkward.

A psychiatrist is a doctor, yes, but their work is completely different from that of a doctor in a regular hospital.

’In my rush, how could I have not thought of that?’

"I’m sorry, Sister Yingying, I was wrong."

Xu Jiali genuinely felt she had messed up. She had been so eager to promote Sister Wen Ying that she ended up causing trouble.

It was all her fault.

[Please forgive Xu Baobao, Doctor Wen! She speaks before she thinks. She didn’t mean any harm!]

[Doctor Wen is really a psychiatrist? I always thought she was just an internet celebrity.]

[Doctor Wen isn’t just a psychiatrist, is she? Last time, with Zizi’s Kabuki syndrome, didn’t she recover after seeing Doctor Wen?]

[That reminds me! Zizi’s account is pretty famous on Shark TV. Everyone used to feel so bad for her, but recently, it looks like her parents have been taking her traveling. They even said Zizi’s getting better! It’s practically a medical miracle!]

[So does that mean Doctor Wen might actually be some kind of reclusive, genius doctor? Then why isn’t she willing to admit it?]

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. Just follow me carefully. I’m going to take these vines and leaves back with me."

Xu Jiali was a little embarrassed, but in front of Wen Ying, she was obedient and well-behaved, so she did as she was told.

When the three of them regrouped, Song Jiayan had already driven the stakes into the ground.

Wen Ying had Xu Jiali take Song Jiayan to a place with water to wash up. Then, she took a few leaves out of her pocket and waited for Song Jiayan to get clean before placing them on his wound.

Wen Ying looked at the wood in front of her. Without even a moment to chat with the cameraman, she got straight to work.

After clearing away the debris, Wen Ying quickly tied the tree trunks to the stakes she had set up, forming a rectangular frame.

She began selecting suitable logs to lay horizontally. All in all, she seemed incredibly skilled.

Doctor Wen was highly efficient.

The cameraman stood to the side, nearly blurting out his questions several times.

’Why does Doctor Wen seem so omnicompetent?’

’She even knows wilderness survival?’

’This speed, this efficiency, this result... it’s obvious she’s done this many times before.’

As Xu Jiali was taking Song Jiayan to find water, they unsurprisingly ran into Xie Fu Yao, Jiang Beibei, and the others.

"Xu Jiali! What are you doing here? Where’s your Doctor Wen?"

Jiang Beibei asked bluntly.

Seeing Song Jiayan’s miserable state, she felt a thrill of satisfaction deep down.

"We’re not in the same group right now. Do you really think I’m going to answer you?"

"Jiali, you and Jiang Beibei are in the same group, I think..." Song Jiayan reminded her in a low voice.

"Oh, right. I forgot you and Sister Yingying are grouped with them. How unfortunate."

Jiang Beibei was speechless. "..."

"Xu Jiali, how can you say that? We may be opponents on the show, but we’re friends in private. You don’t have to be so obvious about it, do you?"

"Who’s friends with you?" Xu Jiali stared at Meng Xiaoyi in astonishment.

Xie Fu Yao furrowed his brow. He had never seen an artist like Xu Jiali before!

Even a newcomer shouldn’t act like this.

’When she decided to enter this industry, did no one teach her how to behave?’

’Did no one teach her that you must never offend the other guests when you’re on a show?’

Especially guests who are more famous than her.

"Xu Jiali, it’s fine if you don’t like us. We’re just concerned about you. It looks like Song Jiayan is injured?"

"Yes, he’s injured," Xu Jiali said with complete frankness.

This left Xie Fu Yao speechless. ’Your teammate is injured, what are you so proud about?’

’We may not have found any supplies yet, but at least we’re all safe and healthy!’

Right, supplies!

"I heard you and Little Song found supplies? Why aren’t you carrying them? Aren’t you afraid of losing them?"

"The supplies are with Sister Yingying. What do we have to be afraid of?" Xu Jiali replied nonchalantly to Xie Fu Yao.

"Jiali, from what I know, you only just met Wen Ying when you came here, right? You can know a person’s face, but not their heart. It’s always better to be cautious. We’re just worried about you and don’t want to see your efforts go to waste," Meng Xiaoyi said with a pleasant smile.

Xu Jiali suddenly laughed. "You guys don’t know how Jiayan and I found our supplies, do you?"

Hearing Xu Jiali’s question, everyone grew curious. Could there be some hidden story behind it?

"How did you find them?" Meng Xiaoyi quickly asked.

Xu Jiali looked at them smugly. "Sister Wen Ying told us, of course!"

"That’s... impossible, isn’t it? Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I just mean it’s so incredible. How would Doctor Wen know where the production team hid the supplies?" Meng Xiaoyi threw the question out there.

’So, whether you’re fans of Xie Fu Yao, Jiang Beibei, or Zhang Jingxing, you should know what to do now, right?’

"What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting the production team told Sister Wen Ying the location?"

Xu Jiali wasn’t an idiot. She naturally understood the hidden meaning in Meng Xiaoyi’s words.

"No, no, don’t misunderstand me. I just think it’s too much of a coincidence."

Xu Jiali gave her a dry laugh and then pulled Song Jiayan along. "Let’s go. There’s no need to waste our time with them here."

Song Jiayan, being even less of a talker, simply nodded and followed Xu Jiali.

But they had taken less than five steps when Xu Jiali’s voice rang out again. "You were gloating about Song Jiayan’s injury just now, weren’t you? Well, do you know how he got hurt?"

[Hitting them where it hurts! This is Miss Xu’s signature move!]

[The commenter above is so right! Miss Xu definitely didn’t say that by accident! Let the drama begin! I love this kind of plot!]

[What’s so good about a wholesome variety show! The drama is the best part, HAHAHAHA!]

Jiang Beibei glanced at Meng Xiaoyi, who immediately picked up the cue. "How did he get hurt?"

There was no point in explaining away the gloating anyway. This Xu Jiali was on a completely different wavelength from them; they’d never see eye to eye.

"You want to know? You’ll find out tonight!" Xu Jiali laughed loudly and pulled Song Jiayan away.

Once Jiang Beibei, Xie Fu Yao, and the others were out of sight, Xu Jiali said to Song Jiayan, "You can tell they haven’t found anything. No food, no water, and no place to stay. How do you think they’ll spend the night?"

Song Jiayan shook his head. He didn’t know how they would spend the night.

"Hehe! Just thinking about it makes me happy! I really hope they end up right next to our shelter tonight! Then we’ll be sleeping in a house while they sleep on the ground. Just imagining it feels so satisfying!"

Song Jiayan asked, "Doctor Wen is building a shelter?"

"I’m guessing."

After that, the two started talking about their own affairs.

"Jiayan, I feel like I might not be cut out for this industry. Seeing how fake that group was just now makes me sick. Do you think I’m really not suited for this business?"

Song Jiayan shook his head. He didn’t know. He didn’t even know if he himself was suited for it, so how could he know about anyone else?

But in Xu Jiali’s eyes, he was just shaking his head.

"So you think I’m not suited for it, too?" Xu Jiali seemed to be getting angry.
