Chapter 33: Bewildered

Bai Lin’s hands were like a pair of iron pincers that held Bai Xi’s down tightly. Bai Xi suppressed her disgust and looked at Bai Lin with a gentle expression. Her eyes were misty with a layer of tears, and she looked like she was withstanding the pain. “I’m sorry, jiejie. If I did anything wrong, I’ll apologize to you. Don’t be angry.”

Bai Lin knew that Bai Xi hated physical contact with her, so she squeezed the medicine onto her hand and slowly spread it. As their skin rubbed against each other, Bai Xi’s goosebumps rose and she almost failed to hold back her pitiful expression.

Was Bai Lin crazy? She actually touched her hand!

Was she not disgusted? She had never been willing to touch her before!

Bai Lin carefully touched Bai Xi’s wound and slowly smiled. “Don’t be afraid. Your hand is wounded. I’m applying some medicine for you.”

Bai Xi’s hair stood on end.

Lin Shu had been silently observing this pair of real and fake heiresses. When he saw this, he pushed up his glasses and said, “Bai Lin, we’ve already collected a lot of bamboos and banana leaves. Can we exchange some points with you first?”

Bai Lin let go, and Bai Xi immediately retracted her hand. Her fingers were still trembling. Bai Lin’s forceful strength seemed to still linger on her hand.

Bai Xi was so angry that her face turned white, but she no longer dared to go over. She looked at Bai Lin in shock and confusion.

What was wrong with her? How could she be so perverted!

Bai Lin reeled back her gaze on Bai Xi. Zhou Guang took out a handkerchief and wetted it with water to wipe her hands.

Bai Lin was fine, but sometimes when she was playful, she would touch anything dirty.

“How much? Do you want the points now?” Bai Lin asked in a good mood, “Are you sure? You’re not keeping even a little, you’re going to exchange all of them?”

Lin Shu and Bai Xi had been here for a long time, and Bai Shao could not wait any longer. When he came over for a look, he happened to hear this and immediately sneered, “Don’t tell me that you can’t afford the points?”

Bai Xi had still not recovered from the trauma just now and somewhat mechanically added, “Xiao Shao, don’t say that.”

Bai Lin kept her clean hand. “It’s fine. Let’s exchange the points then. How much is there in total?”

Lin Shu reported truthfully, and Bai Lin asked, “How many did Bai Shao cut?”

Lin Shu did not have time to react. In the afternoon, Bai Shao was jumping up and down showing off the number of bamboos he had cut. It was hard to ignore, so he answered without thinking, “35.”

“Deduct his and we’ll exchange the rest for points.”

“Why?” Lin Shu was a little angry.

The director answered on Bai Lin’s behalf, “Bai Shao had an agreement with Bai Lin yesterday. He’s to help out the entire day. These shouldn’t be counted as part of the deal between your team and Bai Lin.”

It was indeed so.

“But it’s not like we can’t discuss it,” Bai Lin said.

Lin Shu immediately became alert when he heard this familiar sentence. “What do you want?”

Bai Lin squinted her eyes and smiled. “Bai Shao’s points can be calculated normally, but your son has to come to our group to help out for a day.”

Lin Shu thought for a moment.

His son was excellent, and many young girls liked him. Bai Xi had also been taking initiative, but they had high standards and did not like her.

Could it be that Bai Lin liked Lin Sen?

It was not impossible.

However, his son had been given the best since he was young. They were not about to consider someone like Bai Lin.

“No,” Lin Shu rejected.

“30 points,” Bai Lin replied.

“Okay,” Lin Shu replied.

After they reached an agreement, Bai Lin rounded it up and gave them 150 points with the production team as witness.

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he did not have to sleep in a tent anymore.

“I want to redeem my points.”

The staff member looked at Bai Lin and told her, “The points for solving the questions have been given to you.”

“It’s something else. Follow me,” Bai Lin said.

The staff, audience, and Bai Xi’s group were all very curious.

Bai Lin led the way. Zhou Guang, Yan Ruo, and Jin Ran had been working the whole afternoon. Bai Lin had redeemed a lot of delicious food and asked them to stay and rest.

The road was very bumpy. As Bai Lin led them, the staff almost fell.

Bai Shao could not help but complain, “Acting so mysterious. I don’t know what she’s trying to do. It feels like a conspiracy.”

All of Bai Xi’s dresses had been torn and she was now wearing the ugly dress she had redeemed from the production team. She held in her rage, wanting to know what Bai Lin was up to.

There was one more thing that stood out in the point system set by the production team. Catching wild animals such as wolves, tigers, and snakes would be awarded at least 350 points each.

It was fine looking at such dangerous preys on TV or in the zoo; if they did not run away when they saw the animals, their lives would definitely be in danger.

Did Bai Lin really go crazy and challenge the wolf?

That was what most of the people including the audience thought, but when the last banana leaf blocking the road was removed and revealed the scene, everyone could not help but was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Rows of exquisite small bamboo houses, about the size of a palm, made of bamboo strips, were distributed neatly on the ground.
