Surrounded By My Yandere Ex-Girlfriend On The Romance Reality Show!-Chapter 27 - The Ex-Girlfriend Turned Out Like That!

“Hahaha, the production team is so cruel. I’m dying of laughter.”

“Has this dating show turned into a survival show? I love it.”

“Can these people even handle it? What if they accidentally start a fire?”

Someone cleared their throat and cautiously spoke, “Um, it’s already 10 o’clock. If we want lunch, we should start now.”

The speaker was Tang Wan, a lawyer with a keen sense of time, always mindful of the clock.

Everyone suddenly realized how quickly time had passed.

“I saw a barbecue grill and fishing gear in the kitchen,” Fang Zhou recalled, quickly informing everyone. At least with fishing gear, they could catch fish.

“Yesterday, we saw wild vegetables on the mountain while picking fruits,” Tang Wan, who grew up in a village, recognized some common wild vegetables that could be used as greens.

“There’s also hunting traps and nets here!” Qi Le discovered new tools in the corner of the living room, excitedly informing the others.

Qiao Sisi smiled helplessly, “The production team really prepared all kinds of tools, ensuring we won’t starve.”

Qin Yun smiled warmly, analyzing softly, “People tend to trust those around them more during crises. This false affection is known as the bridge effect.”

It seemed the production team had put effort into fostering relationships among the guests.

Having discovered the tools, everyone stopped waiting for the production team to have a change of heart.

“Alright, let’s form three groups. One group will search the mountain for wild vegetables, another will hunt for rabbits or other game, and the remaining group will fish by the sea,” Dong Donghui, a natural leader, quickly assigned tasks.

Tang Wan, Qi Le, and Qin Yun went to dig for wild vegetables. Liu Hao, Han Xi, Dong Donghui, and Sun Haotian went hunting. Fang Zhou, Chu Xinran, and Qiao Sisi went fishing by the sea.

Due to the limited time, everyone decided to delay lunch until 2 PM, giving them enough time to gather and prepare the ingredients.

The sea breeze was strong today, and Chu Xinran had to hold down her skirt with her legs to avoid exposure.

She held a fishing rod in her hand, waiting idly for a fish to bite.

Half an hour ago, Fang Zhou had distributed three fishing rods, one for each of them, baited them, and then they started fishing, each on a folding stool.

“Why haven’t we caught anything after all this time?”

“Anglers never come back empty-handed. It should be soon.”

“Wow, the two female guests are so beautiful. Just sitting there is a lovely sight.”

Maybe their fishing was too boring, so even the viewers started entertaining themselves.

Fang Zhou seemed to be sitting upright, but he was actually resting with his eyes closed, not worried about catching fish.

Just then, his fishing rod began to move.

Fang Zhou opened his eyes, gave a strong pull, and the bobber emerged from the water with a fat fish hanging on it.

“Ah, we caught a fish!”

Qiao Sisi, who had been watching, couldn’t help but shout excitedly, drawing Chu Xinran’s attention.

“Really? I thought there were no fish in this sea,” Chu Xinran smiled happily, experiencing the joy of finally reaping the rewards after waiting.

Fang Zhou deftly removed the fish and placed it in the bucket, then re-baited the hook and cast the line again.

“Why haven’t ours moved yet?” Chu Xinran couldn’t help but run over and ask in a sweet voice.

Qiao Sisi also looked anxious, casting a hopeful glance, wanting to know when she would catch a fish.

“Don’t worry. Once the first fish is caught, the rest will follow quickly.”

He reassured the two women who had yet to catch anything, finding fishing quite interesting.

When you catch nothing, you don’t feel too disappointed since the waiting process itself is calming.

Chu Xinran nodded, finding the fish in the bucket cute.

She couldn’t help but squat down and reach out to touch the fish.

As soon as she touched the fish’s belly, Fang Zhou stopped her.

“Don’t. You might get hurt by the fins.”

Fang Zhou grabbed her slender wrist to help her up, but suddenly felt something off about the texture of her skin. Looking down, he saw numerous cuts, as if made by a small knife.

He was utterly shocked and blurted out, “What is this...”

Before he could finish, Chu Xinran pulled down the sleeve of her long dress, covering the scars.

Her eyes showed a hint of panic that quickly turned into calmness as she said, “It’s nothing, just a small accident.”

She gently pulled her arm away from Fang Zhou’s grasp and returned to her seat without looking back.

“What happened?” Qiao Sisi, curious about their interaction, couldn’t help but ask loudly.

Fang Zhou shook his head, suppressing his shock, and returned to his seat.

“Nothing. Keep an eye on your rod. You should get a catch soon.”

Outwardly calm, Fang Zhou’s mind was in turmoil.

Chu Xinran said it was an accident, but that was impossible. The scars were both old and new, some just scabbed over.

They looked more like self-inflicted wounds with a small knife than accidental or intentional harm by someone else.

It’s hard to imagine a well-behaved and excellent school belle doing something so irrational.

What exactly had Chu Xinran gone through to resort to self-harm?
