Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 263: Commander Gu Wants to Tell His Wife, His Money Is Never-Ending
Although Gu Jue really wanted to tell his darling wife that his money was inexhaustible,
unless one day the Federal Empire collapsed, or Gu Zilan was overthrown in a power struggle,
or even if their Federal Empire was occupied by aliens...
But seeing his darling wife so earnestly considering their future,
Gu Jue’s lips curved into a smile, "Mm, I’ll listen to you."
The plot of the film was still ongoing.
The group of students had finally arrived at the campsite, and a heavy downpour had started to fall from the sky.
Su Wan finally saw Luo Jina and others.
The students gathered together, preparing dinner, while on this end, Su Wan also met up with her friends.
Oh no, someone was still missing.
Su Xiaoge was missing.
But since the missing person was him, no one among Su Wan and the others was too worried.
After all, among their group, excluding Commander Gu, Su Xiaoge had the strongest combat ability.
Even if he was alone, he wouldn’t encounter any trouble.
The trouble would definitely be for others.
The patter of rain on the eaves made a tinkling sound.
A few people stood in the corner of the living room, looking at the students who were clearly having a good time.
Don’t know why they’re so happy just because of the rain.
Luo Jina complained, "Alex and I have been at this campsite here, searching in a big loop, without finding anything unusual; in the end, we saw Lin Yu in the cellar wine cellar."
"The students’ scenes on the bus, we heard them as background noise."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan realized that she and Gu Jue had seen a bit more.
Where each person was placed was actually random.
Those sitting closer wouldn’t be separated too far.
The only person who sat farthest from the rest was Su Xiaoge.
Su Wan looked at Sheng An, "Xiao’an, what about you?"
"I saw something dragging an injured wild boar running through the forest; it was so fast, I couldn’t keep up. Then, in a flash, I found myself here."
Su Wan: "Now we’re all here, that short-haired girl is the main character of this film... that’s right, there should be another main character in this film."
And Su Xiaoge should be by the side of that other main character right now!
Su Wan’s guess was correct, at this moment Su Xiaoge was squatting in a cave.
He looked helplessly at the wild man who was feasting on roasted wild boar meat.
For the time being, let’s call him a wild man!
This guy was only wrapped in an animal skin, his bronze skin, and hair so long it covered his face.
Su Xiaoge curled his lips, "I am not jealous; the meat you roasted isn’t nearly as good as the one my little sister Xiaowan makes!"
"It’s not even cooked through!"
"Oh my goose, you actually ate the boar’s hair too?"
"You actor, are really dedicated!"
He rambled on and on, luckily this was just a movie, and the actors couldn’t hear his babbling.
Otherwise, they’d probably be annoyed to death!
Fortunately, time in the film moved swiftly.
One moment, Su Xiaoge was watching the wild man munch on roasted wild boar, and the next, the scene flashed before his eyes, and he saw the wild man actually going to a homestay in the dead of night.
A homestay in the wilderness?
Su Xiaoge commented, "Logically, this is a bit flawed."
The wild man looked at the light in the window, not daring to go in, but Su Xiaoge didn’t bear such psychological burdens and swaggered in.
He was a spectator, after all.
The characters in the film couldn’t see him.
But just as Su Xiaoge entered the living room, the lights suddenly went out, and then someone was heard saying, "It is said that the mountain spirit will take away those who have done bad deeds and use them as sacrifices. When the light comes back on, whoever disappears, it proves they have committed misdeeds and disturbed the mountain spirit!"
On such a rainy night, having one person less is scary.
But having one more person is even scarier!
Su Xiaoge groped his way through the darkness. This darkness was extraordinary; despite his strong night vision, he could not see anything inside the room clearly.
Then, Su Xiaoge touched a hand.
A warm hand!
Just at that moment, the lights turned on.
A gasp came from among the students. It turned out that the boy who had been clamoring to eat wild boar was gone!
Everyone started to speculate wildly about what wrong the missing boy could have done!
And on the audience’s side...
Lin Yu said, expressionless, "Senior, could you let go of my hand now?"
Su Xiaoge immediately let go of the hand like a startled cat!
He said, "Junior, luckily you’re warm. If we couldn’t find the actors and I had touched a cold hand instead..."
Lin Yu: "..."
His lips twitched, not wanting to speak.
Because speaking any further would result in a fight, and he couldn’t beat this senior.
Su Wan couldn’t stand it anymore, she coughed lightly, "Second Brother, what’s going on with you? We’ve been unable to see you all this time."
Su Xiaoge hastily recounted the plot he had witnessed.
At this time, the holobrains of Su Wan and others pinged with notifications, filling in the plot for them.
The boy who had been noisy about eating wild boar was the first to disappear.
But it was not the doing of the wild man outside the window... That wild man should be Zero, the male lead of this play.
As the first person vanished, the students began to panic, discussing the possible wrongdoings of the boy.
This was the moment when true nature was revealed.
Some were indifferent to the troubles of others, some were timid and afraid, some were scared and wanted to go home.
And some had no reaction at all, neither sad nor happy.
With no signal to call for help, the group hurriedly ate their meals, then the girls stayed in one room and the boys in another.
However, after that, people began to disappear one by one!
A few audience members watched from the side while analyzing.
Luo Jina: Could there really be some mountain god? Honey, what do you think?
Alex: My wife is right!
Luo Jina: A man without his own opinion! Xiao’an, what about you?
Sheng An: There must be some non-human entity involved, but it’s not unlikely that someone among this group has ulterior motives.
A perfect answer from the top student.
Su Xiaoge immediately started clapping beside him.
Su Wan also agreed with Sheng An’s view. She turned her head and was surprised to see Ajue staring out the window at the rain, lost in thought.
This silhouette seemed strangely familiar.
Su Wan approached him, "Ajue, do you like rainy days?"
Gu Jue shook his head. "No, I don’t like rainy days."
Because rainy days reminded him of certain memories from Ancient Earth.
"Tired? Let’s go sit and rest for a while."
"Okay."
Su Wan placed her small hand in Gu Jue’s palm with relief, but frowned slightly where he couldn’t see her.
She always felt her spiritual power was somewhat unstable again.
Otherwise, why did she feel this scene of Ajue watching the rain at the window was so familiar?
As for the story, it progressed rapidly.
It turned out that the bespectacled boy among the students had conspired with the driver to kidnap the students one by one, first hiding them in the wine cellar.
This father and son decided to use the students as sacrifices to win the treasure of the mountain god!
The story was more than halfway over before it finally moved onto the treasure hunt theme.
Although the beginning seemed off-topic, the tension of the plot and the immersive sensation felt by the audience were quite good, ensuring no one was bored.
Meanwhile, amid all this, unrequited crushes emerged among the students, along with interactions between the wild boy Zero and the short-haired girl Yi Yi.
When the driver and his son eventually led the people into a cave in the woods, the treasure hunt truly began!
