The System’s voice was that of a young child, sounding cute and adorable.
But there were no children present at the scene.
Those unaware exchanged puzzled glances.
The System remained completely oblivious to having spilled the beans and continued its revelations.
[On the day Yao Yueyue returned to the country, she deliberately got Jiang Ye drunk, hoping to rekindle their old feelings. However, to her surprise, in the heat of the moment, Jiang Ye called out Lu Zhiqiu’s name.]
[Stimulated by this, Yao Yueyue pushed Jiang Ye away. But the next morning, she fabricated the scene to make Jiang Ye believe they had slept together.]
Qin Yiyang found this quite baffling.
What was Yao Yueyue trying to achieve?
[It’s like a beloved toy being taken away, and she wanted it back.] The System anticipated her thoughts and explained.
[What happened next is known to everyone: Yao Yueyue pretended to be pregnant to force Jiang Ye and Lu Zhiqiu to break up.]
Everyone heard it.
Jiang Ye’s expression darkened as he looked at Yao Yueyue.
Yao Yueyue’s face was filled with panic!
She wanted to explain, to say that the eerie voice was lying, but as soon as she tried to speak, the pain from her slapped cheek flared up, making it unbearable.
The audience was thrilled.
—【Can someone tell me what’s up with this child’s voice narration?】
—【Is it part of the show’s effects?】
—【Doesn’t seem like it, and it’s unlikely they’d offend Jiang Ye just for the show’s sake.】
—【So strange! So you all can hear it too? I thought only I could!】
—【Stop posting comments, you’re distracting me! I want to keep listening to the gossip!】
As this netizen wished, the gossip wasn’t over yet.
[But here comes the most dramatic part!]
[Jiang Ye only liked Yao Yueyue because he mistook her for someone else!]
[When Jiang Ye was young, his movie emperor father and movie queen mother were still secretly married. To avoid affecting their commercial value, they hid Jiang Ye in the countryside, leaving him in the care of his grandparents, not wanting anyone to know of his existence.]
Jiang Ye’s brow twitched.
His fists clenched tightly, the veins on his wrists and forearms faintly pulsing.
Very few people knew about this.
It was clear that the child’s voice was telling the truth.
The System continued, [Jiang Ye’s grandparents spoiled him, feeding him until he became a chubby kid. The boys in the village often bullied him, and no one played with him.]
[Until one day, a little girl with pigtails arrived. She became Jiang Ye’s only friend and even helped him beat up the village boys. When they parted ways, they exchanged keepsakes. Unfortunately, Jiang Ye was blind and mistook Yao Yueyue for that little girl…]
Jiang Ye’s pupils contracted sharply.
He retrieved a clay doll from a locked box.
Its colors had faded, but he held it carefully, treating it with great reverence.
He looked at Yao Yueyue, his eyes tinged with a faint red, “Did you really give this to me?”
Clay dolls are fragile, and he never showed it to others lightly.
Yao Yueyue anxiously replied, “Of course it was me!”
[Liar!] The System was furious.
[The little girl back then had a facial allergy and was sent to the countryside to recover. She always wore a mask, which gave Yao Yueyue the opportunity to take advantage!]
[The real white moonlight is actually—]
Everyone perked up their ears.
But the voice abruptly stopped.
Unable to hear the answer, the others grew restless and fidgeted.
—【What’s going on? Why is there no sound?】
—【Going to a commercial break? I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it! Just tell us quickly!】
—【I’m the King of Impatience! Who exactly is the White Moonlight?】
The production team was at a loss.
They didn’t know what was going on with that childlike voice either…
Even the director in the control room was waiting online for the gossip.
Several related topics quickly trended on social media.

As the person involved, Jiang Ye’s breathing grew rapid, his heart feeling as if gripped tightly by a pair of hands, desperate to know the answer.
But that voice disappeared.
As if it had never appeared.
Just then, a laugh broke the tense atmosphere.
It was Lu Zhiqiu.
She smiled, but her eyes glistened with moisture. “Jiang Ye, you’re still as pitiful as you were when you were little.”
Jiang Ye stiffened.
Lu Zhiqiu lowered her gaze and took a protective talisman from her bag.
It was small, faded over the years like terracotta, its original color—whether yellow or red—now indistinguishable.
But Jiang Ye knew it had once been a bright red.
In that instant, Jiang Ye froze, his blood seeming to congeal.
This was the protective talisman he had sought out as a parting gift.
Lu Zhiqiu took a deep breath. “This is the talisman you gave me back then. You knew my face was allergic, and you said you hoped I’d get better soon.”
“It was you,” Jiang Ye’s voice was hoarse.
His vocal cords felt as if they had been rubbed repeatedly against coarse sandpaper, making his words sound grating.
Lu Zhiqiu drifted into memories. “Later, I returned to the village, wanting to find out where you had gone, but I found nothing.”
She had always found it strange.
With the Lu family’s resources, finding a little boy shouldn’t have been difficult.
Now, looking back, Jiang Ye was the child of an award-winning actor and actress, so naturally, they had been cautious, not wanting to be discovered. The Lu family would never have found him.
The mystery from back then was now solved, and the person she had wanted to find was reunited with her today.
But Lu Zhiqiu felt little joy.
“If only life could be as it was when we first met”—she finally understood the meaning of these words.
She snatched the terracotta from Jiang Ye’s hand and threw it, along with the protective talisman, into the trash can.
The terracotta shattered with a crash.
Jiang Ye’s nerves snapped.
Years of careful protection had ended in pieces, and a tidal wave of pain washed over every corner of his body.
He was in so much pain he could barely stand, as if it wasn’t the terracotta that had shattered, but himself.
Even his hearing was affected, ringing as if from tinnitus. The world grew both noisy and silent, with only Lu Zhiqiu’s faint voice piercing his ears.
She said, “Jiang Ye, we’re even now.”
On the island, the mist cleared, revealing a bright, azure sky.
Although Lu Yanzhi hadn’t personally experienced this farce, listening to Qin Yiyang’s inner thoughts made him feel as if he were there.
His tightly clenched fist relaxed, and a faint smile touched his lips as he continued building the boat.
Something went wrong.
Something went “shit.”
What kind of thought process could come up with such a bizarre homophone pun?
At that moment, the injured wolf returned, bringing another female wolf with it.
It was clear that the wound on its hind leg had healed, but it still walked with a limp.
Lu Yanzhi had surveyed the island’s conditions. Apart from some insects and birds, there was no complete ecosystem here—not even any mammals.
He didn’t know how these wolves had ended up on the island.
But it was clear they wouldn’t survive here.
Especially this male wolf and female wolf—they seemed to have not eaten for a long time. The hamburger from last time was most likely entirely saved for their cubs.
Thus, for the sake of their children, they decided to make a move on Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yanzhi’s brow twitched slightly.
Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps for some other reason.
He turned back and glanced at the supplies he had stored in the cave: purified water, instant noodles, self-heating hotpot, compressed biscuits, beef jerky…
Besides these, there were also pajamas, facial cleanser, toothbrushes, razors, a generator, kerosene, an induction cooker, pots and pans, a refrigerator, a coffee machine…
All of these had fallen from the sky over the past few days.
He had no doubt that in a few more days, a boat or an airplane might fall from the sky.
Facing the two wolves poised to attack, Lu Yanzhi didn’t even lift his eyes. He tossed over a few egg yolk pastries.
The two wolves immediately caught them in their mouths!
Their fierce eyes instantly cleared.
What kind of delicious treat was this? How had they never tasted it before?!
