Surrounded By My Yandere Ex-Girlfriend On The Romance Reality Show

80 Han Xi said, “This is mine” (1 / 2)

Time on the island passed quickly, and after dinner and a little rest, the sky had already turned dark.

Unlike the usual routine after dinner, where everyone would rest or do their own thing, tonight the show’s crew had arranged a group activity.

“Ladies and gentlemen, since you all handcrafted sky lanterns two days ago, tonight we can go to the beach to release them.”

“The materials used for the sky lanterns are biodegradable, so please rest assured.”

“Next, everyone will draw a sky lantern and write down their wishes on it before releasing it into the sky.”

On the day Fangzhou was poisoned, everyone’s sky lanterns were nearly complete. Even though Fangzhou ended up in the hospital, amidst the chaos, no one forgot to mark his lantern.

So Fangzhou also had a chance to draw a sky lantern.

In the hall, a neat row of sky lanterns was displayed. At first glance, they all looked similar, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences.

Some had cartoon avatars drawn on them, others had signatures, and a few had unique markings.

This exchange of sky lanterns was meant to strengthen the bonds between the guests. If you paid attention while making the lanterns or knew the others’ habits, you could end up with the lantern of the person you liked.

To accommodate the female guests, the men let them choose first, and the women resorted to the most traditional method of rock-paper-scissors to decide the order.

Han Xi, who seemed the least adept at games, surprisingly got the first pick.

“Then I’ll go first.”

A rare smile appeared on Han Xi’s face as she nodded to everyone and walked straight towards the lanterns on the ground.

She stopped in front of an inconspicuous lantern with a simple boat drawn on it.

“I’ll take this one.”

Han Xi bent down, picked up the lantern, and returned satisfied.

The other female guests changed their expressions upon seeing the lantern she chose.

Chu Xinran couldn’t help but speak her mind, “Ah, I really liked that one too, and it got snatched away.”

The usually cheerful and lively school beauty showed a clear sign of disappointment, like a child who didn’t get the toy she wanted.

Han Xi heard her muttering and turned to smile and shake her head, “Sorry about that.”

“This one is mine.”

If it had only been the first sentence, it would have been fine, but the second sentence sounded possessive and boastful to some.

In the live broadcast room, fans of Han Xi screamed.

“Ah! Sister is so domineering, truly a woman worth hundreds of millions, speaking so straightforwardly and bluntly!”

“Is that sky lantern Fangzhou’s? The marking seems to be his. Could it be that Han Xi likes Fangzhou and deliberately chose his lantern?”

“OMG! It’s totally possible! I remember Han Xi even kissed Fangzhou that day! Besides that, when has Han Xi ever been close to any other male guest?”

“Ice Queen CEO X Warm and Passionate Male Host! Shipping them first!”

Following Han Xi, Qin Yun picked up a lantern with a smile, one that belonged to Han Xi, marked with the initials ‘HX’.

“I quite like this one.”

She glanced at Han Xi, her smile filled with many ambiguous meanings.

Alas, Han Xi remained unmoved, ignoring Qin Yun’s provocative gaze.

“Take it then, there’s nothing shameful about my lantern.”

Subsequently, everyone except Zhang Zhiyin gradually received a lantern, Fang Zhou included.

Holding the blank Kongming lantern in his hand, he felt puzzled. This one seemed unmarked, impossible to tell who made it.

Turning his head, he asked around, but it seemed no one claimed it, so Fang Zhou gave up probing.

“It doesn’t matter, all lanterns must be released.”

“This is mine,” Han Xi said, holding a lantern that somewhat resembled his own, but the markings weren’t made by him, so he couldn’t be sure.

If it weren’t for the show’s rule to release each other’s lanterns, he might not have been willing to let go of someone else’s. After all, it was the product of several hours of hard work and dedication.

“The pens are here!”

Dong Donghui brought over several markers, distributing them to everyone, Fang Zhou included.

He furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and was about to write down his wish.

Suddenly, he noticed someone staring at him. Turning his head, it was Zhang Zhiyin.

Her hands were empty, holding nothing.

From noble mtl dot come

While everyone was busy writing their wishes, she stood alone outside the crowd, as if abandoned by the whole world.

Plus, Zhang Zhiyin’s inherently sorrowful expression elicited pity at a glance.

Fang Zhou was no exception.

He halted his actions, carrying the lantern, turned, and walked over to Zhang Zhiyin, handing her both the lantern and the pen.

“Here, you release this one.”

His voice was gentle and mellow, like a cask of aged wine, inviting one to savor it carefully.

Zhang Zhiyin raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked softly, “For me? What about you?”

It seemed like their own Kongming lanterns, and aside from the ten, there were no extras.

If she took it, then Fang Zhou would have none to release.

Zhang Zhiyin hadn’t participated in that activity and was content just watching the fun.

She didn’t expect Fang Zhou to make such a gesture, especially under the live broadcast.

“You can play with it, I don’t need to release one.”

Seeing her hesitation, Fang Zhou decisively stuffed the lantern into her hands, chuckling.

“I am a firm materialist!”

What one wants, one should strive for. Relying on others or making wishes is nothing but idle talk.

Only what’s in one’s own hands is the most real and reliable.

Looking at the sky lantern and pen in her hand, Zhang Zhiyin also smiled gently.

“Since you’re so kind, I won’t be polite.”

“Although I’m a firm materialist, sometimes I still want to indulge in idealism.”

She winked at Fang Zhou, placed the lantern on the ground, and began to write.

Fang Zhou didn’t look at what she was writing, instead, he let his mind wander, letting his gaze drift around the hall.

However, when his eyes swept over a few female guests, he suddenly felt a chill.

Han Xi, who should have been writing diligently, was now staring at him expressionlessly, pen paused in hand.

Next to her, Qin Yun, with a smile, showed him the words on her lantern: “Together till our hair turns white.”

In the corner, Chu Xinran leaned against the lantern, her eyes reddening as if she was about to cry.

Qiao Sisi snorted coldly, exchanged a glance with him, and then turned her head back to her own writing.

Fang Zhou quickly averted his gaze, lamenting in his heart: There was once a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple, and in the temple, an old monk told a young monk, ‘The women below the mountain are tigers.’

(Please give me flowers!)
