Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Charlene was also thinking about this. Lee Ji-eun's behavior was indeed a bit unusual; she wondered what crazy thing she was going on about again.

However, she was not interested in Lee Ji-eun's thoughts and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Soon, the first dinner party began, and night gradually fell, enveloping the entire beach.

A bonfire was lit on the beach, its light illuminating everyone's faces and making them appear especially warm.

Everyone sat around the campfire, enjoying the food, chatting, and playing various fun games in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Emily took the opportunity to sing her signature song, and her melodious voice echoed in the night sky, adding a touch of romance and joy to the party.

Later, Xia Lin sat down next to Shi Ye and felt a chill, so she subconsciously rubbed her arms.

Shino noticed her little movement and asked, "Are you cold?"

Charlene nodded. "Yes, a little."

Shino handed her his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Charlene was stunned for a moment, then instantly felt enveloped in warmth. The man's breath carried a minty scent, cool yet pleasant.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously gripped her clothes tightly. A strange emotion welled up inside her, and the way she looked at Shi Ye changed, becoming exceptionally gentle.

She smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lee Ji-eun, sitting opposite, watched the two interact with a slightly cold look in her eyes.

……

That evening, after dinner, everyone washed up briefly in a place prepared by the production team and then prepared to rest.

Lee Ji-eun and Nika shared a two-person tent.

After the two went inside, Nika asked Lee Ji-eun softly, "You haven't looked well tonight, what's wrong?"

Also, your attitude towards Tokino's sister later became strange. Weren't you always trying to get closer to her? Why did you suddenly start targeting her?

After hearing this, Lee Ji-eun snorted coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain, "That girl is not Shi Ye's sister at all."

Nika was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lee Ji-eun's tone grew colder as she analyzed, "It's very difficult to hide the look in someone's eyes when they like them."

Although she hid it well, the occasional unintentional glimpses of her gaze clearly revealed the tenderness that only a loved one would show.

I've had crushes before, so I know this better than anyone!

Nika was surprised.

She hadn't really noticed these details before.

However, she still had doubts and said softly, "But... isn't there some misunderstanding about this?"

After all, Tokino said that she was a relative's younger sister; what if she was a cousin or something like that?

"impossible!"

Lee Ji-eun retorted with almost certainty and without any hesitation, "What kind of cousin would look at her cousin with such admiration?"

She confidently asserted, "I can guarantee 100% that it was genuine attraction between a man and a woman!"

Seeing that Lee Ji-eun's expression was serious and not joking, Nika became even more puzzled. "If it's really as you say, then what exactly is their relationship?"

Could they be... boyfriend and girlfriend? Are they secretly dating?

"Did Tokino come to the show with a hidden agenda?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun's expression instantly turned even worse, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion.

"I don't know."

She said coldly, "But it's best not to. Shino can only be mine!"

I hope no one can interfere between Tokino and me.

After saying that, she looked at Nika, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Sister, you have to help me from now on."

Because of that brat's interference, I haven't been able to spend any time alone with Shi Ye today. Please try to separate them during future missions.

Nika hesitated, then asked seriously, "Ji-eun, do you like him that much?"

But from what I see, he doesn't seem to have that kind of feeling for you! Don't do anything rash, especially right now, we're still on set with cameras everywhere.

If we're not careful, it could be blown out of proportion, and the consequences could be dire.

Lee Ji-eun, however, seemed unconcerned. She shrugged indifferently and said firmly, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I joined this show for him."

I don't care what others think of me or what they say about me.

As long as I can be with him in the end, that's enough.

Nika was speechless when she heard this.

These sisters are always very stubborn. Once they've made up their minds, it's very difficult to change them. You can't persuade them to change their minds no matter what you say.

So, I had no choice but to go along with her.

……

On the other side, Xia Lin came out after taking a shower, still a little damp on her body. She gently dried her hair and just as she reached the tent entrance, she saw Shi Ye.

Charlene walked over with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"

Shino looked up at her and replied, "I'll wait for you."

Charlene's heart skipped a beat. She paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

Shi Ye said in a somber tone, "It's a bit dark. I'm afraid you won't be used to staying outside and sleeping in a tent overnight."

Regardless, she came in place of Marcy this time, and Tokino felt that he should take extra care of her.

Charlene suddenly realized.

She smiled gently, her tone radiating confidence and composure. "It shouldn't be a problem. I adapt pretty well, don't worry."

Shi Ye looked her over and saw that she looked calm and composed, not like she was putting on a brave face.

He nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. "That's good. Get some rest then. If you need anything, feel free to call me anytime."

Charlene nodded, a bright smile on her face, and gently said, "Okay."

She added, "Goodnight, Ye-ge."

Shino nodded slightly and responded with a simple yet powerful "Good night".

Soon, the two turned around and went into their own tents.

After lying down, Charlene was in a great mood, as if she were surrounded by an indescribable sense of happiness.

Today's experience was full of novelty and excitement for her.

Most importantly, the people I like are there too.

Thanks to her best friend's matchmaking, she had the opportunity to do these things with the person she liked at such close range.

This was something she never dared to even imagine before.

And right now, he's in the tent next door.

If things continue in this pattern of interaction, then perhaps I can gradually reveal my own attitude later on.

Should we let him know?

Despite thinking this way, Xia Lin knew that she was still a bit of a coward, and when facing him, she wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

The night outside grew increasingly dark, like a thick layer of ink spilled across the entire sky.

A gentle sea breeze blows, and the leaves on the island rustle softly in the wind, as if they are softly singing a melodious nocturne.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, and the sound of the spray could be clearly heard, creating a tranquil and beautiful night scene.

In this wondrous environment, Charlene closed her eyes and fell peacefully asleep.

And in her heart, she began to look forward to tomorrow's mission!
