After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 20: Chapter 020: The Male Lead’s Red Underwear Chapter 20: Chapter 020: The Male Lead’s Red Underwear Mu Jincheng, who was racking his brains trying to salvage his masculinity, saw Shen Yan eating the fried small fish and shrimp directly and twisted his face, blurting out subconsciously, “Are you eating all by yourself?”

“Uh?”

Shen Yan gave him a look as if he were trash.

Mu Jincheng regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.

He had done nothing the whole time, just foolishly standing by while Shen Yan worked.

He wouldn’t even ask a simple question.

Shen Yan’s fans complained that he wouldn’t even lend a hand, just sitting there waiting to be fed, which was rather shameless.

You can’t spear fish, but you can at least pick them up, right?

You can’t gather small fish and shrimp, but you can help pick them up, right?

You can’t start a fire by drilling wood, but you can gather some dry branches, can’t you?

However, because of the last episode, Mu Jincheng actually managed to just stand by and watch a girl busily going up and down.

Was he even a man anymore?

Even Mu Jincheng’s fans felt he was being a bit too much.

No matter how much you dislike someone, you shouldn’t lose the decency expected of a man.

They were partners on a survival task, not on solo missions.

Following Shen Yan’s gaze downward, Mu Jincheng felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

Shen Yan had already portioned out his share and set it aside.

His earlier words had basically positioned him as a young master, waiting for Shen Yan to hand him his food.

Seeing the mocking smile in Shen Yan’s eyes, he now felt so distressed that he wanted to flee beyond the camera’s reach.

Shen Yan didn’t care what he was thinking; she fed herself first.

Mu Jincheng swallowed hard the fish and shrimp made by Shen Yan, being served a small loach.

Remembering the previous incident where it was mistaken for a snake, Mu Jincheng’s expression almost broke.

Shen Yan ate quickly, as if she were battling.

With Mu Jincheng’s elegant eating habits for maintaining his gentlemanly image, Shen Yan really wanted to toss him into a base she had once stayed in.

She guessed he wouldn’t last three seconds there.

Shen Yan patted off the dust on her clothes, started washing the flat pan, fetched some water to extinguish the charcoal fire, and covered it with sand.

Although it was a deserted island, starting a fire could mean no escape even by jumping into a river.

Watching Shen Yan finish all this, Mu Jincheng wanted to ask why it had to be done this way but couldn’t swallow his pride.

Dressed up, Shen Yan continued moving forward.

The route was completely new. The trees on the deserted island were lush, with many various types of trees.

People must have lived here before, but due to inaccessible transport, they had moved out.

Now, only the deserted island remained.

Mu Jincheng silently followed behind Shen Yan, looking like a wronged little wife, shocking even Mu Jincheng’s fans.

What happened to their Brother Mu!

It was all Shen Yan’s fault.

No need to work so fiercely.

Who was she performing for?

They complained inwardly but dared not speak out and ruin their idol’s career.

Shen Yan looked over the route map; it wasn’t very far.

At their pace, they would arrive soon.

Their main task now was to find food ingredients; they had fish, and next, Shen Yan planned to gather wild vegetables.

There were plenty of wild vegetables on the island.

They could find a large patch just by walking a bit.

This time Mu Jincheng knew what to do, and reluctantly, he had to follow Shen Yan to pick wild vegetables.

Shen Yan looked up at a tree, her eyes slightly brightening.

Mu Jincheng followed her gaze, seeing her expression and obviously spotting something edible.

“What is it?”

Shen Yan walked to the base of the tree, looked up, and smiled, “Jujube!”

“Can we eat these curved, gray things?” Mu Jincheng expressed his skepticism.

Wouldn’t it be poisonous?

Shen Yan put down her backpack, rolled up her sleeves revealing a fair section of her arm, and prepared to climb the tree.

“Wait,” Mu Jincheng immediately called out to her.

Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to show himself?

Mu Jincheng couldn’t sit idly by this time, could he? Was he waiting for Shen Yan to completely overshadow him?

“I’ll do it,” Mu Jincheng volunteered eagerly.

Shen Yan looked at him skeptically, “Are you sure?”

Facing Shen Yan’s doubt and never having climbed a tree before, Mu Jincheng clenched his teeth, “I can.”

A man can’t admit defeat.

Although Shen Yan doubted his ability, she stepped aside to let him show his skills.

It was great not having to do it herself.

Mu Jincheng stood under the tree and tried several climbing methods but couldn’t manage to get up.

He had climbed at a club before; how could this be different?

Mu Jincheng tried a few more times, each time hugging the trunk like a bear, climbing a bit, then sliding down.

The sight was as comical as could be.

Shen Yan was rather speechless.

“Do you even know how to climb?”

“Of course I do… What’s the rush? Come over and help me,” Mu Jincheng directed Shen Yan while attempting to climb.

Afraid of him, Shen Yan went over and stood behind him, unsure how to help.

Seeing him sticking his butt out and straining to climb, Shen Yan thought of a maggot.

A nearby VJ zoomed in, a bit worried that Mu Jincheng might fall.

“Help me.”

Mu Jincheng’s face turned red from exertion, but he still couldn’t make it up, and there was no movement from behind; he grew annoyed.

Shen Yan then placed her hands directly on his bottom.

Mu Jincheng stiffened all over, almost bursting into curses.

His face darkened.

Shen Yan lifted up, her strength surprising.

Suddenly, she boosted Mu Jincheng onto a branch, and feeling the heat on his backside, he quickly grabbed on and climbed higher.

Now all he wanted was for Shen Yan to remove her hands quickly.

Seeing him safely up, Shen Yan brushed off her hands, which had no dust, and directed, “Right in front, snap them off, I’ll collect them.”

Mu Jincheng, perched on the branch and trembling slightly, started to move forward but then stiffened again, daring not to move.

He was a bit scared of heights!

Shen Yan looked down on Mu Jincheng who wanted to help but only made things worse.

Mu Jincheng finally overcame his sudden onset of acrophobia, stood using another branch for support, and freed a hand to snap off some jujubes.

Shen Yan collected them below.

Looking down, Mu Jincheng saw her effortlessly gathering the jujubes while he embarrassingly fumbled with the possibly inedible fruits.

He felt quite aggrieved.

Frustrated, Mu Jincheng snapped off a bunch haphazardly, not caring whether they were good or bad, and threw them down.

Shen Yan paid no mind to his resentful mood.

She sorted through them, keeping the edible ones together.

The inedible ones were discarded right there, the labor of picking being Mu Jincheng’s burden.

Mu Jincheng realized later he was only torturing himself.

He began earnestly picking some plump, intact jujubes.

“All the good ones here are picked, climb higher, the ones above are better,” Shen Yan directed.

Mu Jincheng grimly gritted his teeth and kept climbing as she said, not paying attention and catching his pants on a branch.

He took quite a large step.

A tearing sound of “rip” came from behind.

Mu Jincheng felt something and froze, daring not to move.

It seemed like he realized something, and Mu Jincheng felt a surge of blood rush through him, his handsome face turning ghostly pale.

Shen Yan looked up, seeing the scene in the tree very clearly.

Due to his excessive force, Mu Jincheng’s pants had ripped slightly, revealing his red underwear below!

“Pfft!”

Shen Yan couldn’t help herself.

Seeing Shen Yan laugh, the VJ quickly adjusted the camera angle to capture the moment.

The audience, tickled by Shen Yan’s laugh, were left hanging with curiosity.

What happened? What happened?

What’s going on?
