Chapter 34: Escape from the Tiger's Jaws?

Although the audience had heard what Wen Chi said to Sui Sui through the microphone on Wen Chi's body, hearing and seeing were two different things. In this world, there were very few people who could sacrifice their lives to save others. That's why those who did were called heroes. Wen Chi's actions had shocked every viewer. Even those who usually liked to criticize Wen Chi the most couldn't find anything to nitpick at this moment.

[Wen Chi must be ready to die.]

[I'm crying my eyes out. God, please save them!]

[I really doubt those negative rumors about Wen Chi on the Internet now. He's only known Sui Sui for three days, but he was willing to risk his life to save her. How could he be a bad person?]

[Well, the entertainment industry is so complicated. Maybe someone is deliberately suppressing him! I only believe what I see, like Wen Chi now!]

[Something's not right. Is Sui Sui too scared to run? Don't let Wen Chi's efforts be in vain!]

[Sui Sui, run! Staying alive is the most important thing!]

[Why is she imitating the tiger's roar? Is she trying to scare the tiger away?]

[I've always liked Sui Sui, but I don't know what to say now...]

Sui Sui's "Roar" had confused both the audience and Wen Chi. It was really cute in a childish voice, but wasn't it a bit inappropriate at this moment? In the tense atmosphere, some people complained in the barrage that Sui Sui was being thoughtless and getting Wen Chi into trouble. Wen Chi was extremely anxious, but he didn't blame Sui Sui. He just held Sui Sui's small shoulders and comforted her,

"Are you scared? It's okay. I'll come to you soon. Believe me!" As he said this, he kept pushing Sui Sui to run away.

[Wen Chi really... I'm so touched.]

[Wen Chi will be my big brother from now on! I'll fight anyone who scolds him! Understand?]

[Who said he has a bad temper? Look how gentle he is now.]

Sui Sui also thought Wen Chi was gentle. Under his seemingly world-weary and cold appearance, there was a kind and soft heart.

"I seem to understand..." Understand why the heaven asked me to help you.

Wen Chi was confused: "What?" He felt his collar tighten. It turned out that Sui Sui was grabbing his clothes tightly with her small hand.

"Sui Sui, you..."

"Wen Chi, don't worry." Sui Sui pointed behind Wen Chi and comforted him softly, "Look! The little tiger has gone! Don't be afraid. I'll protect you!" As she said this, she patted her small chest confidently.

Wen Chi couldn't believe it. He turned his head stiffly. Really, the tiger was gone! The breath he had been holding in his throat suddenly relaxed, and his legs gave way. He sat down on the ground. But neither Sui Sui nor the audience laughed at Wen Chi.

[Oh my god, when did the tiger leave? We didn't even notice!]

[Everyone's attention was on them. It's normal.]

[I'm really curious. Why did the tiger leave? Could it really be because of Sui Sui's roar?]

[Maybe the tiger was full and not hungry, or it had never attacked people before... Scared away by a little kid? Are you kidding?]

[That's right. Don't cause trouble for Sui Sui. She didn't even say that herself.]

[It's okay! It's okay!]

[I'm crying so hard! That's great!]

After a while, Wen Chi, who had calmed down, finally had time to think about the question the audience was arguing about. Why did the tiger leave suddenly? Sui Sui looked at him, wanting to explain but not knowing how. She couldn't possibly tell Wen Chi that it wasn't some strange tiger, but her friend Huahua in the mountains. Huahua had just gained intelligence and was very close to her. It smelled her and came looking for her. Earlier, Huahua got angry because it thought Wen Chi was hurting her and was going to rush over to protect her. Of course, she was also the one who called Huahua away...

Well, she'd explain these things to Wen Chi later when she had the chance. She just felt it wasn't the right time to say it now. Sui Sui rubbed her face and, seeing Wen Chi trying to get up, quickly ran over to help him.

Wen Chi was both amused and exasperated: "I'm in good health."

Sui Sui stared at him for a few seconds and said firmly, "You were really scared!"

Wen Chi had nothing to say and let Sui Sui take care of him. Wen Chi asked Sui Sui if she wanted to sit in the bamboo basket again. Sui Sui shook her head firmly, looking stubborn and saying that she would never cause any trouble! Oh, and she took off her dry coat and put it on Wen Chi. Then she ran over to pick up her small bamboo basket and the fish basket. If the big bamboo basket hadn't been almost as tall as her, Wen Chi suspected that Sui Sui would have carried everything.

"...Let me, let me." Wen Chi picked up the bamboo basket, interrupting Sui Sui's eagerness.

Sui Sui sighed regretfully: "Okay."

This time, the two of them returned to the small cottage smoothly. When they arrived, the people from the program team arrived almost at the same time. Naturally, Jian Lin and Xia Kai were among them. Jian Lin asked the medical team to examine Wen Chi and Sui Sui. He also posted an apology on the official blog, sincerely admitting the program team's negligence. The speed and way of handling this won some recognition from the audience and regained some impression points.

But this couldn't stop the matter from spreading on the Internet—

...

A series of hashtags dominated the hot search list. If you took a casual look, among the top 50 hot searches, more than a dozen were related to "Peach Blossom Spring". This scene looked familiar. Most netizens' impression of Wen Chi still remained that he was "covered in negative rumors", and when they commented, it was inevitable that there would be some sarcasm and malice:

[Am I so sleepy that I'm confused? I feel like I saw this scene yesterday.]

[These days, people really go to great lengths to whitewash themselves. There was one thing yesterday, and now another today.]

[As expected of a top star. He's earned so much in just two years. Isn't he afraid of going bankrupt if he spends like this?]

[I feel sick just seeing the name Wen Chi. Can't he be banned?]

However, what happened in the live stream of "Peach Blossom Spring" was witnessed by many netizens. Immediately, some people stood up to explain:

[It's different from yesterday. Yesterday, Sui Sui dug up a rare orchid. Today, Wen Chi and Sui Sui encountered a wild tiger on the way. I sincerely suggest that you watch the recorded video. This is definitely not a hype. No one would risk their life for hype. Wen Chi's choice at the dangerous moment is really admirable.]

This statement attracted a lot of ridicule, saying that Wen Chi didn't deserve to be called "admirable". But soon someone recognized the blogger:

[Hey, aren't you the one who's been criticizing Wen Chi since his talent show?]

[Blogger's reply: Yes, it's me, but I've changed my view of him this time.]

This sudden change in attitude was really puzzling.
