Chapter 89: Chapter 89: From Death Comes Life
Ji Tian directly refused this time, “No need, I think this mine is quite nice, close to nature.”
Feng Juanjuan had already said it was very crowded, and she wasn’t foolish enough to squeeze into their house, especially with Gong Yu there…
She couldn’t possibly flock to him, already being treated like an unwanted ghost, there was no point in wandering around.
Feng Juanjuan was somewhat disappointed, “Well then.”
The reason she had said that was to prevent Ji Tian from settling for their place; she had gone to great lengths to keep Qin Jiangsheng from interacting too much with Ji Tian, but couldn’t help that Qin Jiangsheng willingly came over on his own.
His thin lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then returned to calm after Ji Tian had refused.
“Ji Tian, your meal is ready, I brought it especially for you, eat it while it’s hot.”
Shen Zhiyi’s voice appeared abruptly as she held a food container, flashlight in hand, because it was raining outside, and after entering, she tapped the water droplets off her clothes.
“Hey, why is everyone here? I’m unlucky, it started raining outside, and I didn’t bring an umbrella, did you?”
None of the others paid any attention to her.
It was Yao Yao who broke the silence and the growing awkwardness, “We didn’t bring one either, so we can only wait for the rain to lighten up before leaving.”
Shen Zhiyi forced a smile, “Okay, Ah Nan, I made tofu, it’s a bit plain but tastes good.”
Seeing that Weinan didn’t move, Shen Zhiyi looked up to meet Weinan’s disappointed eyes, her heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.

“Ah Nan?” She handed over the food container, but Weinan shifted aside and did not take it.
[What’s going on? Are they isolating her? Shen Zhiyi didn’t do anything, why must they be like this?]
[It must be asked of Ji Tian, she’s powerful, the program had a total of fifteen people, except for a few stars who remained neutral, the rest were clearly biased towards Ji Tian, she also dislikes Shen Zhiyi, everyone is on good terms with her, how could they show a friendly face to Shen Zhiyi?]
[Bullying? Damn, that’s disgusting, playing these tricks, coming from an elitist wealthy family, the quality isn’t much either, I’ve already felt sorry for baby Zhiyi.]
Shen Zhiyi’s hand stiffened, disbelief in her eyes, Weinan sighed, “Zhiyi… it seems like you’ve never really paid attention to me, I’ve told you clearly before that I’m allergic to soy products, and you didn’t remember, while I? I know you like mango, like to drink Mango Pomelo Sago, your favorite food is fish, I remember these things knowing they’re not useful, but I also wanted to prove in front of you that I’m different from other wealthy heirs, I wouldn’t look down on you or bully you, but evidently, I was too presumptuous.”
The thunder roared outside, accompanied by lightning, Shen Zhiyi’s grip on the food container tightened.
Everyone present and the online viewers fell into an eerie silence.
[So… is this still scripted?]
[Feels like it… and also not like it… Is this kind of drama even meant for us commoners to watch?]
[Emmm, let me organize this, Third Young Master Ji likes Shen Zhiyi, Mr. Bai also likes Shen Zhiyi, not to exclude Eldest Young Master Gong might like Shen Zhiyi too… Messed up, four people’s world is too crowded, perhaps all three should leave, what are these scriptwriters thinking, creating such an absurd plot.]
Quan Jingyou was stunned, he had previously asked Weinan if he liked Shen Zhiyi, the guy even denied they were just friends, now the truth was exposed, but the situation was too awkward, he thought to say something to ease the mood, but Shen Zhiyi spoke first.
Her voice trembling, tears already flowing, “So what? Do you want to break off our friendship?”
Ji Weinan bit his teeth and finally said, “Yes, let’s not contact each other anymore, and we don’t have to be friends either. That way I can be somewhat happier, better than holding onto expectations that can’t be fulfilled.”
Shen Zhiyi sobbed, trembling all over, “How can I remember all this? Besides studying every day, I have to take care of my mom. She has leukemia and is still fighting the disease. I need to earn money, I need to study medical skills, I hope to develop a drug that can fight cancer to save my mom’s life!”
“Not only do I have to maintain being first to obtain a scholarship, but I also joined this show for the reward. Because I want to win, winning means I could have money. My mom’s and my living conditions could improve. You all come from wealthy families, how can you understand us commoners struggling at the bottom? I also know Ji Tian holds an elimination card against me, so I cook meals for you, hoping that Ji Tian doesn’t dislike me so much and doesn’t eliminate me because she holds a grudge against me.”
Tears streamed down Shen Zhiyi’s face, crying so hard she could hardly catch her breath, “But… I really don’t know what I did to upset her. She always targets me inexplicably, always hostile towards me. I just went to Imperial City Academy to study, I want to make something of myself, not to get trapped in the games of you wealthy people, what did I do wrong?”
“If you are alienating me because of your sister, then I’ll just comply with your wish.”
Shen Zhiyi lifted her sleeve, fiercely wiped her tears, and threw the food container on the ground, the food and sauce spilling all over.
With red eyes, she resolutely ran into the rain curtain, heading into the darkness, not even wanting a flashlight.
Only then did Ji Weinan’s face change drastically, the night was so dark, and the surroundings were all mountains, the rain was heavy, Shen Zhiyi was also unfamiliar with the geographical environment here, running blindly could easily lead to an accident. He raised his hand and hammered the loess wall, biting his teeth and swearing, “Damn it, I really owe her, so annoying.”
Eventually, concern overcame reason, and he also ran out, “Shen Zhiyi! It’s too dangerous outside, can you come back and let’s talk properly?”
“Ah, what are all these people doing… Eh, Sister Tian, where are you going?” Quan Jingyou noticed something was wrong with Ji Tian, hurriedly grabbed her arm, and wouldn’t let her go out.
Ji Tian turned her head back, her usually smiling eyes now dark and somewhat eerie, “Let go.”
Quan Jingyou, somewhat scared, let go. At this time, Ji Tian seemed like a different person and also ran out after getting free.
Quan Jingyou was extremely anxious, “It’s over, an accident is going to happen! Go and call the director, this place is so remote, what if someone falls down the slope?”
The staff immediately cut off the live broadcast.
Facing the now black screen, live chat messages continued in the chat box.
[Whoa, are you guys playing for real?]
[Shen Zhiyi is so miserable, with a bad family background and still being bullied in the show, Ji Tian be a human being, wuwuwu, Zhiyi didn’t do anything to her from the beginning to the end, why is she so aggressive, I hope Zhiyi is okay.]
[It’s the wealthy family class issues, rich people don’t regard poor people highly, no wonder Ji Tian intervenes, scoff, let’s see if their family can fix it with money if someone dies.]
Because of Shen Zhiyi’s speech, public opinion reached its peak in the live room.
They even forgot that Ji Tian never actively provoked Shen Zhiyi from the beginning to the end, it was just because her family had money, so everything she did could be misinterpreted as bullying others.
They also forgot, Shen Zhiyi wanted to win, does that mean Ji Tian deserved to lose?
Because she isn’t short of money, should she accommodate Shen Zhiyi in the show and even if Shen Zhiyi ultimately won, it was supposed to be her role as a stepping stone?
Ji Tian ran in the rain, her thoughts frighteningly clear.
Shen Zhiyi hoped to be reborn from a life-threatening situation, coincidentally, so did she.
But she was, heading towards life from death.
