Chapter 29 - Well (1/2)

On a bed a metre away from Su Min, Jiang Yunhuo and Chen Xingzhou were completely unaware.

Because there was only a total of three beds in the three rooms, with Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin using one in their room, they had two beds here.

Su Min also didn’t know why they allowed him to sleep alone.

But fortunately, they were sleeping separately. Otherwise it would be difficult to explain if Chen Su was discovered.

Not hearing his response, Chen Xingzhou waited a few seconds and asked again: “Su Min, are you asleep?”

Su Min replied: “No. I’m feeling better now, just a little sleepy.”

Chen Xingzhou: “Okay then. Go sleep.”

Su Min turned over. In the dark, it looked like there was no one next to him but there indeed was someone.

Su Min also couldn’t see him.

He used the blanket to cover his mouth and whispered: “You don’t have a place to sleep?”

As a great master that could even scare away that lantern dress, how did he get into a situation where he would need to squeeze in with him?

Chen Su very conscientiously pulled him into his arms.

Su Min is human, and his body temperature is normal. This was the complete opposite to that of a ghost, and it felt like he was holding onto an ice bottle.

Chen Su and he faced each other at just a palms distance apart. He could even feel his breath.

But Su Min didn’t know this.

Chen Su felt that he looked like a little beast looking over in his direction with unfocussed eyes.

A harmless beast that was also very fascinating.

Chen Su wanted to touch him, but he felt that it would probably make Su Min angry, so he didn’t move. He moved in front of Su Min and said: “I was worried that you’re afraid.”

Su Min moved his eyes.

Because he was too close this time, Su Min finally sensed that Chen Su’s face was right in front of him. He retreated uncomfortably.

He whispered: “I’m not afraid.”

Su Min wasn’t afraid of horror movies. This was also the reason why he chose to experience a horror movie.

No one is born without fears. He has them, but it is less than others.

Su Min didn’t know why. Perhaps it was because of his childhood experiences or perhaps it was because of his family. He had sensed this ever since he watched his first famous horror film a long time ago.

In the eyes of others, they just thought that he was more courageous.

Chen Su said: “Okay then, you’re not afraid.”

Su Min: “………..”

Why did it sound like he wasn’t taking him seriously? He really was telling the truth, but the other party didn’t seem to believe him.

Su Min lied flat again and pushed him back.

The two of them laid there together. When they touched, One felt cold while the other felt warmth.

Su Min touched the edge. The bed wasn’t big so if he moved more, he would be sleeping on the edge and might even fall off at night. He didn’t want to wake up in the middle of the night on the floor. Particularly not when he’s on this strange island.

Perhaps it was because he had encountered too many things during the day and was too tense, a wave of sleepiness attacked him when things finally calmed down.

Soon, Su Min fell asleep.

Chen Su could feel the steady breathing from the person next to him. He seemed to be in deep sleep. Through the blankets, he could feel the other person’s heartbeat.

Lively, clear and powerful.

Chen Su listened to this and ignored the snoring from Jiang Yunhuo and Chen Xingzhou.

Su Min seems to never have his guard up around him.

Chen Su leaned over to his lips and gently kissed the corner of it.

Su Min felt uncomfortable in his sleep and frowned.

The knocking in the room had stopped at some unknown point in time. Now, they could only hear their breathing and snoring sounds.

In the early hours of the next morning, Su Min was awakened by the cinema’s prompts.

Su Min who was still in daze decided that he would leave a feedback for cinema to get them to send the prompt during the day instead.

Being awakened like that in the middle of the night, even if you don’t have a bad temper after waking up, you would soon develop one.

【 Audience Member Su Min, congratulations for successfully surviving for a day. Please keep up your good work. Today’s hint: Well. ]

Su Min casually received the news and then went back to sleep.

***

Early in the morning, the sky is bright.

When Su Min woke up, Chen Xingzhou and Jiang Yunhuo had also just woken up. The three of them stood in the yard brushing their teeth.

The mark for the severed finger in the yard was actually very simple. A small tuft of grass was planted there, and a small yellow flower bloomed.

Chen Xingzhou was surprised: “I only planted a bud that day.”

Su Min looked at the swaying flower and couldn’t help but think of some horrible stories that he has heard of – Flowers in graveyards are often very beautiful because of the nutrients that they receive from the bodies below.

This little flower had absorbed the nutrients from the severed finger.

At this moment, Zhao Mingya came over: “Yixin and I made congee this morning. Do you want some?”

Chen Xingzhou without even spitting out the toothpaste: “Yes!”

His girlfriend asked so he naturally would agree. As for whether or not it tasted good, he didn’t stop to think about it. Anyway, even if it didn’t taste good, he would still eat it all.

Also, they didn’t eat much last night and they also didn’t eat much of their snacks fearing that it would run out, so they were starving.

It is always much more reassuring eating something made by themselves.

After washing up, the five of them sat at the table.

Su Min recalled the hint from the cinema and said: “I’m going to see if there any other wells on this island.”

He thought the hint was probably referring to Uncle He’s well, but he wasn’t 100% certain. Perhaps there are other wells on the island.

Chen Yixin asked: Why are you looking for a well?”

Su Min responded: “Uncle He said that his well was sealed off because the bride jumped in. I wanted to see if the other wells are also sealed or if’s something else.”

A single sealed well isn’t unusual. If there are many sealed wells then it’s a problem.

Zhao Mingya frowned and spoke with worry: “How should we find them?”

There are many people there and it looked dangerous. There was also the man with the shovel yesterday. If they went, they would probably arise suspicions.

Su Min shook his head: “If we aren’t exposed, we won’t be suspected. We just need to act like we don’t know anything.”

If you act ignorant, you wouldn’t raise suspicion.

Chen Xingzhou disagreed: “It’s still a little too risky.”

Su Min thought about it. He decided to mention Uncle He’s injuries when he returned last night, “Uncle He probably got into a fight with someone. The reason for it was probably because of us.”

Jiang Yunhuo wondered: “Because we’re outsiders?”

Su Min wasn’t sure: “But Uncle He seemed to have managed to persuade the other party. That man didn’t appear after that.”

Jiang Yunhuo pouted: “The more I think about it, the more suspicious they are.”

And it has something to do with them.

In fact, what Su Min really wanted to do was to open the cover over Uncle He’s well but the goal was too big and he didn’t have a proper reason for it.
