Chapter 170 Zhao Xinqing: A Perfect Pretend to Sleep
While Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing were drowsy, the time came to eight o'clock without realizing it.
The official live broadcast room opened on time again, updating today's list simultaneously for global audiences.
First place: Li Jixian, Song Mingyue.
Second place: Bell, Ed.
Third place: Su Bai, Zhao Xinqing.
…
After watching today’s list, Su Bai’s live broadcast room was filled with question marks [???].
【What the hell?】
[Li Jixian and Song Mingyue spent the whole day looking for water today, and they also tried to find a way to treat Li Jixian's wound scratched by a tiger yesterday. They made no achievements at all!]
[Although their cave is easy to live in, it is too far from the water source, so it is not particularly ideal.]
【Can this be the first place for the second time? 】
[Although Su Bai still has no shelter today, he made a genuine bow and arrow! If I remember correctly, the "tools" category also plays a very important role in the selection criteria, right???]
[Grandma, the explanation given by the judges is also specious and too abstract! Not convincing at all!]
Different from the excitement of the barrage, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing were relatively sleepy on the one hand, and on the other hand, they really didn't build a house today and were still sitting on the ground in the open air.
Therefore, the two of them are not particularly concerned about the third place position.
Anyway, with bamboo and shale, it was only a matter of time before the two of them built a decent shelter.
"Go to sleep..." Su Bai yawned, turned off the drone's rotors again, turned the camera away, hugged Zhao Xinqing, and lay down on Tielan's soft bed.
Soon I fell asleep.
Zhao Xinqing closed her eyes and nestled in Su Bai's arms.
Her heart was beating wildly, secretly expecting Su Bai to kiss her secretly like last night when tonight!
But on the surface, Zhao Xinqing pretends to be sleeping very much!
As a doctor of zoology, Zhao Xinqing knows all the parameters of human sleep very well!
The eyelids should tremble slightly to create the illusion of rapid eye movement, which is a phenomenon that only occurs when humans are in deep sleep!
Suppress your breathing to 20 breaths per minute...
Oops, my heartbeat is too fast. The human heart rate when sleeping should be 40-60, but my current heart rate is about 120...
Hmm... Secretly adjust your posture to avoid direct contact between the artery and Su Bai... This way the heartbeat movement should be much smaller... He shouldn't be able to notice it, right?
Grind your teeth gently again...
That’s right, that’s it! I pretended to look like it!
Zhao Xinqing was secretly happy.
After more than ten minutes, Su Bai beside her remained motionless.
Zhao Xinqing began to wonder...
What's going on? Why haven't you come to kiss me yet?
Could it be...
Is he waiting for me to sleep more deeply?
As a woman who was able to obtain four doctorate degrees at the age of twenty, Zhao Xinqing has never lacked patience.
She continued to maintain her perfect disguise, waiting for Su Bai to start his "late night mischief"!
She had even rehearsed in her mind a dozen times, how to maintain the disguise when Su Bai's lips came down, so that it would be the most natural!
Zhao Xinqing's heart was filled with hot expectations!
An hour passed.
Two hours have passed.
Zhao Xinqing gradually felt that something was wrong...
What's going on???
How come this person next to me is pretending to be sleeping better than me???
Could it be that……
Did he catch me pretending to sleep?
So you're pretending with me?
Zhao Xinqing couldn't help but start to reflect secretly, where in the world did she pretend not to be like herself enough for Su Bai to notice the flaw?
At this moment, Su Bai twitched twice slightly and made an unconscious "humming" sound from his mouth.
Zhao Xinqing’s heart lit up!
That’s right! Sleep pulses and sleep talk!
After discovering her shortcomings, Zhao Xinqing immediately followed up!
She also twitched slightly twice and murmured indistinctly, pretending to be talking in her sleep.
Now, it should look similar, right?
After waiting for so long, even my heartbeat has slowed down.
There can be no more loopholes!
Kiss me quickly! Kiss me quickly!!!
In Zhao Xinqing's full expectation.
Time passed minute by minute.
Its daybreak……
At four o'clock in the morning, Su Bai yawned, opened his sleepy eyes, and woke up.
I patted Zhao Xinqing’s (mosaic)(mosaic) conveniently.
Two crisp and elastic sounds echoed over the camp, making Su Bai feel better instantly!
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
"How...how did you...sleep last night?" Zhao Xinqing asked quietly.
"It's okay, it smells pretty good." Su Bai responded casually, but when he looked at Zhao Xinqing, he was shocked!
Zhao Xinqing's eyes were full of sleepiness, with two dark circles under her eyes!
"Huh?" Su Bai was stunned and asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
"It's... not bad..."
Su Bai thought for a moment and sighed:
"Are you worried about stealing fish from the camp during the day and coming again last night, so you didn't sleep well?"
"It's okay. Campfires at night are particularly powerful in frightening wild beasts."
"In addition, that thing stole fifty or sixty pounds of fish from us during the day. It must have been very full. The chance of coming back at night is very low."
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
He is comforting me.
He is caring about me.
Should I be moved?
I really want to cry...I really want to beat up Su Bai...
Zhao Xinqing took a deep breath, and her thousands of words finally turned into one:
"Uh-huh."
Although I didn't sleep all night, I was very tired.
But the biological clock that has been cultivated in the past few days has reached the time to wake up. If I force myself to sleep again, I will probably not be able to fall asleep.
Zhao Xinqing refused Su Bai's suggestion to catch up on her sleep, got up from the bed, and started building a new bamboo shed with Su Bai intensively.
The two pulled up the four main beams of the original cabin from the ground and expanded it to four times the previous area.
The bamboo is cut in the middle and divided into two, with the curved outer part facing outward, and each one is overlapped obliquely and covered between the main beams to form a bamboo wall.
The left, middle and right parts of each bamboo piece are tied with straw ropes to make it firm and stable.
Then Su Bai took out the unused fish bladder glue yesterday and applied it carefully on the junction between the main beam and the bamboo slices.
Su Bai pointed to the overlapping bamboo pieces like tiles and explained:
"Such a structure facilitates drainage. Even if it rains, it can ensure that rainwater will not flow in through the gaps in the bamboo."
"Similarly, overlapping bamboo slices can also play a very good role in wind protection."
The two built bamboo walls on the left and right sides of the four main beams.
The back side was still leaning against the rock wall, but the front side, after some deliberation, they decided not to make the door or seal yet.
Although it can be sealed up, it can form a sealed space, giving the two people a strong sense of security.
But it also requires a lot of time and energy.
This bamboo shed is destined to be a transitional shelter. The two of them will not live in it for a long time, and naturally they are not willing to expend too much energy.
It is enough for them to have a roof that can protect them from the wind and rain so that they can get through this window period.
After completing the construction of the left and right walls, the two men had used up all the bamboo they had cut yesterday.
But the roof hasn't been built yet.
For a shelter, the importance of the roof is self-evident.
While Zhao Xinqing was staring at the empty roof in a daze, Su Bai looked up at the sky, frowned, and whispered:
"We need to speed up."
"It's likely to rain this afternoon..."
Zhao Xinqing was horrified.
If the two of them cannot have a roof under the same roof before it rains, the rain may be very difficult and may even kill them!
