Chapter 369: Memories of the Bracelet (1)

The first episode of the show was quite good. Mo s.h.i.+yun performed especially well in the show.

The show tested the guests’ intelligence and their ability to survive in the wild.

Mo s.h.i.+yun’s performance in this area was far superior to the other guests.

All the hards.h.i.+ps and life skills that she had learned as a child with her mother had come in handy at this time.

From choosing her equipment before starting, to her survival skills in the wilderness, to cooking, to solving riddles that had been prepared, Mo s.h.i.+yun excelled in all of them.

And thus, she attracted a large number of fans and her popularity rose even further.

At this rate, Mo s.h.i.+yun would soon be in the top tier of actors. She was bound to have a great future.

On the other hand, Jian Yumin was suffering.

Although he wasn’t performing that badly, he was not a stand-out performer on the show. However, his straightforward personality and his muscular abs still caused his fans to squeal with excitement.

The response from his fans was so good that his manager praised him for it.

However, Jian Yumin was not satisfied with this. He didn’t want to lose! That would be humiliating!

If you’re playing a game, you would want to win! What was the purpose of losing?

“Eldest brother, please calm down. The audience reacts well to you. They like you the way you are,” Jian Yujie said to Jian Yumin.

“No. I want to win,” Jian Yumin replied. He didn’t want his performance to be the same in the second week. This was not the outcome that he wanted.

“But eldest brother, you don’t have the advantage in IQ. Furthermore, you don’t have any life skills either,” Jian Yujie said to his brother. He was ruthless in his commentary.

His brother had the advantage when it came to his appearance and figure. He was also quite talented at singing and dancing.

Jian Yumin ignored his brother. Instead, he said: “In the next episode, they want us to bring a family member. I want to bring someone with a high IQ.”

“Oh? Do you plan to bring me? I’m not available though.”

“Huh? What are you thinking? Who’s bringing you? Do you have a higher IQ than me? Of course not! I’m planning to bring your second brother.”

“Wait, but he’s not here. Are you going to call him to come back?”

“Well, perhaps? He’s won so many prizes in Go. Technically, he can be on this show to increase his popularity as well!”

And thus, Jian Yumin called his second brother, Jian Yubo.

On the phone, Jian Yubo’s voice was low and unruffled as usual.

“I’m sorry. I’m busy for the time being.”

“Well, okay then. I won’t bother you.”

Jian Yumin didn’t try to continue the conversation with Jian Yubo. If he didn’t have time, there was no need for him to insist. After a few more words, he hung up the phone.

However, Jian Yubo, who was supposed to be in another city, was in a hotel in Hengyuan City at the moment.

He was standing in front of the hotel’s french windows. He had just showered. As his brother had called him suddenly, he didn’t have a chance to put on his s.h.i.+rt yet.

The light shone on his back. There was an obvious burn mark across his back.

Jian Yubo picked up the bracelet that he had taken off before the shower. He put it back on his wrist.

His thumb habitually brushed over a different bead.

There was a flash of an image from a long time ago.

On a sunny spring afternoon, in the courtyard of the Jian Residence, the sun shone through the trees and cast dappled shadows on the ground.

There was a handsome young boy sitting on the gra.s.s with his back against the tree trunk.

The boy held a heavy and thick book in his hand.

From afar, a young girl walked up to him. She pouted her lips before she said:

“Brother Yubo, have you seen my headband? It’s my favorite headband! There are a few rabbit beads on that headband.”

The little girl’s hair was loose and it draped softly over her shoulders.

Her mouth was slightly agape and she appeared to be a little unhappy.
