The two people sat still on the window sill. The curtains covered the sun, making one side bright and the other dark. Fang Daichuan looked out towards the sea, while Li Sinian gazed at Fang Daichuan.

They didn’t know how long they’d been sitting like that when Li Sinian suddenly said, “Have you ever thought about…”

Someone rang the doorbell, cutting him off.

Fang Daichuan froze. Before he could react, Li Sinian had already stepped up and opened the door. Ding Zihui’s figure flashed in through the door, with two plates of food in her hands. “You two didn’t come downstairs at noon. I was worried so I came over to take a look.” She put the plate on the table opposite the bed and set the cutlery.

“Thank you.” Fang Daichuan wiped his face and jumped off the sill.

The two people sat at the table and ate silently. Li Sinian seemed to have been trying to say something just now, but Ding Zihui was there so he kept silent.

“Have you eaten?” It felt strange to be stared at by someone while he was eating. Fang Daichuan, a lesser known actor obviously not used to this atmosphere, asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ding Zihui could tell what he was hinting at, but she had something to say so she had to pretend she couldn’t understand other people’s intentions. She glanced at Li Sinian secretly, waved her hand and said, “I’ve eaten, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Li Sinian raised his eyebrows, quickly finished his food in two or three mouthfuls, picked up the empty plate, turned his head and walked out. “You guys talk, I’ll wash the plates.”

“Don’t go!” Unexpectedly, Ding Zihui moved in front of him.

Li Sinian raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and glanced at Fang Daichuan, then smiled at Ding Zihui. “I thought you came to see Brother Chuan’er?”

“I’m looking for you too,” Ding Zihui said.

Seeing this, Fang Daichuan lost his appetite. He threw the fork into the plate, making a clang sound. “Let’s sit down and talk?” Fang Daichuan picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth, pointing his chin toward the window sill.

Fang Daichuan and Li Sinian sat on the window sill, Ding Zihui on the edge of the bed. She lowered her head and gnawed her nails, she wore an indescribable expression mixed with disbelief. Fang Daichuan and Li Sinian silently glanced at each other.

“I have a lot of questions to ask you,” Ding Zihui said, lowering her head, “I feel insecure right now.”

Li Sinian folded his legs, tilted his head. “Before you ask, answer my question.”

Ding Zihui raised her head and glanced at Li Sinian nervously.

“Are you a wolf?” Li Sinian did not beat around the bush. It was a given that Li Sinian suspected Ding Zihui was a wolf. The girl who on the first night already made a ruckus, and the girl who inexplicably got a vote on the first round, Li Sinian could’t be sure of Ding Zihui’s true face.

Ding Zihui took out a villager card from her pocket and pushed it to them. “I know you are in the villagers faction.”

Fang Daichuan was taken aback by Ding Zihui. He turned his head to look at Li Sinian, thinking there was something wrong with everyone around him. When both of these people saw there was about to be trouble, they immediately revealed their cards, which made him, some who destroyed the card, look timid. He also felt a little touched. Ding Zihui didn’t even ask about his role. She just straight up showed her card. This kind of trust made him flattered.

However, Li Sinian did not respond.

Ding Zihui had made a dangerous gamble, but it was actually a clever move. If the two parties were wolves, then without even being revealed the other party would already know the details. But if the other party was not a wolf, showing the card would only benefit her.

Li Sinian looked at Ding Zihui with a smile. “Let’s put it away, you can forget about using your trick. If it was brother Chuan’er it might work, but in front of me, it won’t work.”

Ding Zihui’s face flushed when she realized her scheme had been seen through.

Fang Daichuan was confused and turned to look at Li Sinian, not knowing what he meant. Li Sinian did not want to expose her, so he changed the subject. “What did you want to ask us?”

“I didn’t understand the vote just now. Originally I was going to vote for Boss Du. But when I thought about it, Brother Daichuan also doubted Boss Du. He became dumbstruck when you whispered something in his ear so I guessed the person you suspected definitely was not Boss Du, but an unexpected person.” She lowered her head while explaining.

Li Sinian glanced at Fang Daichuan. The expression in those eyes clearly meant, Look, there are many people who are smarter than you. Please stop worrying about them and worry about yourself.

Fang Daichuan glared at him.

Li Sinian nodded to Ding Zihui. “So you came full circle and voted for Zhao Chu?”

“How did you know that I voted for Zhao Chu?!” Ding Zihui’s eyes widened.

Li Sinian raised a corner of his mouth. “Du Wei’s target is Boss Du. Needless to say, Du Chaosheng’s two votes must come from the young couple. Old lady Song’s vote came from Niu Xinyan, my vote came from Yang Song. I had thought that the little kid had voted for you and Zhao Chu had voted for Niu Xin Yan, but it turned out not to be. Anyway, you can’t really be stupid enough to vote for yourself, Zhao Chu had five votes, so he’s who the remaining five people voted for.”

“The kid did not vote for me?!” Ding Zihui exclaimed, “Then who was it?!”

Fang Daichuan sighed. “Didn’t Niu Xinyan have one vote, it was her crazy son who voted for her. You…probably got your vote from Zhao Chu.”

Ding Zihui was bewildered. Fang Daichuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Sinian, telling him with his eyes, Look, even if she’s smarter than me, she’s not that much smarter.

Li Sinian lowered his head, smiled wordlessly, and patted the back of the other man’s head lightly.

He explained, “Old lady Song and Niu Xinyan disliked each other, and Niu Xinyan’s reaction was off at that time. I guessed either Niu Xinyan knew something or held a grudge against old lady Song. Yang Song probably genuinely wanted to catch the wolf, but her intelligence was limited so she voted for me. It’s easy to guess why Zhao Chu voted for you. He’s a wolf, and as long as he makes someone get a higher number of votes than he does, he’ll be safe. Yang Song made an unintentional remark before voting that you should vote for yourself, plus you had conflict with that kid, and his mother looked like a type that spoils their child, so he was counting on the fact that you could have three votes before he even votes for you. If he doesn’t vote for you, who will he vote for? Remember to thank God when you say your prayers tonight that the brat voted for his own mother out of nowhere and you voted for Zhao Chu on a whim and that’s why he didn’t get away with it.”

Ding Zihui nodded with lingering fear, and silently crossed her chest.

“It’s a pity.” Li Sinian shook his head. “Only boss Du and the glasses-wearing Liu Xin, these two I couldn’t figure out. I wanted to take advantage of the first vote to test the waters, but I didn’t expect these two to vote for the wolves without saying anything. “

Fang Daichuan kept blinking. “How could you be sure that Zhao Chu is a wolf? You haven’t tested him. What if you guessed wrong!”

“He was right,” Ding Zihui pointed downstairs. “We searched the corpse during lunch. Three bottles of wolf venom were found and they have been destroyed.”

Li Sinian frowned, and seemed to still be struggling with the identities of Boss Du and Liu Xin. He casually asked, “Did Liu Xin and Boss Du go downstairs when you searched for the body?”

Ding Zihui recalled it carefully and shook his head.

“Two big brothers.” Ding Zihui looked up at them pitifully. “Please help me! I admit I came to this island with purpose, but it’s not because I want to kill and I don’t want to die.”

Li Sinian smiled bitterly. “If you follow us, you will only die faster.”

“Anyway,” Fang Daichuan interrupted Li Sinian, “Let’s go around the island now while there is still light. Tonight we gathered everyone together, searched each room, found all the wolf poison and destroyed it. Anyway, there is no one else on this island. The murderer must be among us, either we act alone or stick together.”

In any case, this is also a way to survive and even if it doesn’t work, at least they are now working together while hiding nothing. It is better than being in a constant state of fear. Ding Zihui nodded hurriedly.

Li Sinian smiled reluctantly, looked at the sky outside the window, unease rising in his heart.
