In just five words, Chen Jianxing's weakness was struck.
His expression was stagnant, he looked at the vast rain curtain and chuckled softly, with a sinister smile on his lips:
"Because...she is disobedient."
Children who disobey will be punished.

In the evening, according to the weather forecast, the rain that was supposed to stop was still falling, and there was no sign of it ending.
The water level of the creek is overflowing, and the entire camp is flooded with water. If this continues, a situation is very likely to occur:
At night, people sleep in tents, and when they open their eyes, their souls are floating in the sky.
However, the waves on the sea were too rough and it was unsafe to sail at night. On the advice of survival experts, the program team decided to suspend filming. Everyone evacuated to the high ground in the center of the island to rest for the night and wait until the rain stopped the next day before leaving the island.
It's raining, it's dark, I'm carrying heavy loads, I'm climbing, I'm full of buffs, my thoughts are like an eggplant beaten by frost, my whole body is wilted:
"Well, I was wrong. Well, I was really wrong. I should have listened to your arrangement and canceled this program."
Ji Yu didn't say a word, pointed to the backpack behind her, and said two words:
"Give me."
"Forget it, who are you and who am I? What if I tire you out..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Yu reached out and snatched the bag away, holding her wrist forcefully with his free hand. Under the dim shadow of the trees, his eyes were as bright as washed with water:
"Let's go, my eldest lady."
Miss...
Don't tell me, I haven't heard this title for a long time, but if I hear it once in a while, it's so kind~
Shi Nian obediently followed his footsteps, and while there were no cameras around, he excitedly shared his new discovery:
"Bodyguard Ji, I suspect that Chen Jianxing is a person from the future who has traveled through parallel time and space."
There are too many elements in just one sentence.
Even though Ji Yu had a high IQ, he still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a long time:
"You no longer believe in metaphysics and have studied science instead?"
"It's strange that you think so highly of me. With my IQ, what kind of science do you think I can study?"
Ji Yu's tone was slightly raised, and he teased:
"In approaching science, there is only a bottle of wine between me and Pig Man?"
Shi Nian sneered:
"Do you believe that I will let you be on the social news tomorrow?"
"Let's get down to business."
Ji Yu frowned and his expression became serious:
"Parallel time and space, future people, what is the basis for your guess?"
Shi Nian coughed twice and imitated Chen Jianxing's tone and repeated his words:
"Because I met you in a dream."
"There is a group of people who always like to use outrageous reasons to cover up even more outrageous truths in order to fool others. Chen Jianxing should be one of them."
Ji Yu paused in his steps and turned his head to glance at the side of her rain-stained face. His heart was beating fast, and many scenes flashed through his mind.
"Sister Nian, have you really worked at RT-Mart?"
"Of course not. If I said I learned it in a dream, would you believe it?"
"Ji Yu, do you believe in metaphysics... Until that day I met an old man with a white beard. He told me that he was a god and could predict the future."
"Do you remember the fortune teller I mentioned last time? He told me that there might be unscrupulous people trying to kill me on the desert island."
"..."
Doubts that had once been puzzling suddenly became clear at this moment.
The so-called dreams and fortune tellers are all fabrications. She should have traveled from the future like Chen Jianxing.
The future version of her has experienced a lot of hardships and has lost hope in herself, her family, and her love.
That's why I avoid Lu Youchuan like a snake and a scorpion, that's why I don't dare to face my heart, and stay away from him again and again...
Ji Yu tightened his palms and held her slender arm, his eyes filled with sourness.
Such a thin person.
How did she survive the lonely and helpless nights and finally be reborn?
In what mood did she hide her sadness and laugh crazily at the camera?
There was a dull pain in his heart, like fine rainwater, wrapping around him.
"Time to read."
He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, leaned forward and embraced her into his arms, with a hint of joy in his low voice:
"Thank you."
Shi Nian blinked his eyes in confusion:
"Thank me for what?"
Thank you for not giving up on yourself and surviving strong.
Thank you for not giving up on me and running towards love bravely.
And thank God for sending you to me.
Thousands of words came to his mind, but he couldn't say a single word. He could only tighten his arms to vent the complicated emotions in his heart.
"Brother..."
Shi Nian was choked by him and almost suffocated. He fluttered his arms and struggled to say:
"Can you please put your hands away first? I'm going to burp."
Ji Yu suddenly came to his senses, let go of his arms, and said sorry to her.
But his slightly red eyes were still staring at her, reluctant to look away, with several emotions intertwined and turbulent in his eyes.
Shi Nian noticed something unusual about him, and carefully raised her hand to touch his forehead, murmuring to himself:
"You don't even have a fever, why did you suddenly become sick?"
Ji Yu held her hand instead, exhaled, and pretended to be relaxed:
"Suddenly I got a disease that would kill me if I didn't hug anyone, but I'm cured now. Let's go."
Shi Nian was a little worried and followed him and muttered:
"Are you sure you're fine? The show team has hired a doctor. Don't hold on."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Ji Yu looked at her with a smile, and his tone was much more relaxed:
"Let's talk about something serious... Has that villain who wants to harm you shown his fox tail?"
"Not only is the tail exposed, the knife is ready to be taken out."
Shi Nian raised his head as if unintentionally, and his eyes fell on Chen Jianxing in the chaotic crowd. He glanced back at the two of them from time to time, and lightly tugged the corner of his lips:
"Ji Yu, do you want to do something big?"
Ji Yu glanced at her gaze, seeming to understand:
"You mean... strike first and tie him up?"
"..."
Shi Nian was speechless: "Have you memorized all the legal terms in vain?"
"That is?"
"Lower your head."
Ji Yu was puzzled, but obeyed the instructions obediently.
The moment he leaned over, a piece of softness fell on his cheek.
That faint warmth, like a flame splashing into the deep sea, instantly ignited his heart, which was cold from the heavy rain.
It also burned Chen Jianxing's eyes.
His eyes darkened, and the resentment he had held back for a day almost burst through the Tianling Cap and burst out.
Damn woman!
How dare you humiliate him and betray him!
Why? Who gave her the courage?
The more Chen Jianxing thought about it, the angrier he became. With no way to relieve his violent emotions, he threw off the backpack on his shoulders and threw the rocks aside fiercely.
"boom!"
A loud noise shocked everyone.
The staff came forward in panic to ask about the situation:
"Teacher Chen, are you okay?"
The sounds from the outside world pulled him out of his collapse.
Chen Jianxing came back to his senses and gasped for air.
No! You can’t do it now!
With trembling hands, he went to look for the medicine bottle in his backpack. Unfortunately, as soon as he took it out, he was knocked over by the person next to him.
The small plastic bottle instantly rolled into the soil and blended into the dark night.
