My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 256-260

Chapter 256
The bus continued its long journey, during which time the road grew increasingly rough and muddy terrain. The further it went, the darker and more foreboding it became. After passing through a lengthy tunnel, there was a loud bang, and the bus suddenly stopped; the engine had died. Soon afterward, there was another loud crash, and something heavy landed with a thud, shaking the ground beneath its feet. Looking back, they discovered that a massive boulder had sealed off the tunnel they had passed through earlier. Everyone’s expression changed slightly as they looked around, and then they turned to the hosts, who also seemed perplexed but had no idea what had happened.“Did we take the wrong road?” Giada asked, looking at the driver.However, the driver shook his head. “The instructions I received were to bring you here.”“Here?” Everyone looked doubtfully out the window. In the distance, there was a vast tract of land that had a road that was obviously deserted running through the middle of it. The road led to a strange-looking black building; everything else was desolate except for the building and the road.“Our program has undergone a change.” The cameraman who had been following them suddenly spoke up. “This program is modeled after a survival TV show. The road you came in on is your only way out and has been blocked off. Moreover, the signal has also been blocked. If you enter this place, it doesn’t matter how high up the social ladder you once stood; you’re now a zero. Both teams can only leave if you manage to find the key that exists in this area.”He continued, “The first team to find the key wins, and there is only one key. Don’t worry if you can’t find the key; we will pick you up later. This arrangement is not meant to make you fight to the death but for you to test the competence and skills of your secret crush. Of course, secret crushes can also use this time to determine whether the other person is worth liking. Life is long, and only by going through difficulties can one witness a person’s true character, isn’t that so?”After speaking, the cameraman waved to everyone before exiting the car with his assistant and the driver. As soon as they stepped out of the vehicle, they heard a low rumble overhead, and a helicopter swooped down to whisk them away. However, people on the bus didn’t begin to piece together what was happening until the helicopter ascended into the air and was no longer visible.“This is supposed to be a fun adventure, isn’t it? What

the hell is going on?” Lilith, who had been silent for a long time, angrily kicked a chair and cursed. “They said it’s only a mini adventure, but what the hell is this?”“How long do they plan to keep us here?” Giada looked around anxiously, her beautiful face full of anxiety. “Is there any water or food here? I didn’t even bring my makeup box. What if my makeup gets messed up?”“Yeah, yeah! Are we going to have to sleep in this creepy place at night? No way, I won’t do it!” Jodie jumped up from her seat, shaking her head frantically. She was accustomed to living the life of a pampered wealthy lady and sleeping in her comfortable bed with air conditioning that could automatically adjust to her body temperature. Her room was always filled with the scent of flowers, and the bathroom had a large jacuzzi bathtub. Soon, she regretted coming to that godforsaken place to suffer. I was crazy to even agree to this.Nevertheless, Fiona’s eyebrows also showed worry. After all, as a celebrity, appearance was always important. Coming to a place like that would inevitably reveal one’s true character and form. Meanwhile, Elyse leaned toward Leo, looking pitiful and about to cry. The previous ‘Show Your Love’ program was arranged quite well. Why did they have to change it to this?However, Amelie remained silent and composed throughout the event, unlike the other women present.The men were much more composed than the women, and except for Chester, who muttered a few words in annoyance, the others were silent and lost in thought.“Don’t worry,” Fabian walked over to Fiona and whispered.As if she had not heard him, she walked past him directly to Amelie. “What should we do now?”Nonetheless, Amelie had been frowning and had her head lowered. Hearing the question, she said, “We should first see what supplies we’ve been given.”Everyone then remembered that the program team had given them supplies before they left. They rushed off the minibus and opened the storage compartments on both sides. Two male actors pulled out all the items within, but there were only a few sleeping bags, some raw food, two camping stoves, and two pots.“This food is only enough for one day. We must leave here today, or we’ll all die of starvation tomorrow!” Chester said, disheartened.“Let’s go look for the key first,” the male host suggested as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He made a mistake by coming to this program when he didn’t have to. When they added another team, he went from being a host to being one of the participants. The program had become a mess, and now he had to face a terrible situation. On the other hand, the members of his group did not

express any opinions and were all eager to leave. So, they followed the host and walked away without taking any food with them.“We should go too,” Fabian said, stepping forward.“No need.”Amelie parted her lips, only to realize that someone had already spoken, and it was Leo. His handsome face was unruffled, and his expression was as serious as always as if the terrible circumstances had no effect on him.“Leo, what are you talking about? I don’t want to stay in this haunted place for even a minute. We can’t let them take the key away!” Jodie anxiously spoke up.Amelie looked at her with a helpless expression. Jodie was the type who dreamed big but faltered in the face of adversity, and she was under the impression that success would fall into her lap like rain.“The show’s organizers wouldn’t make it easy for us to get the key. Acting rashly in frustration would only lead to wasted effort and no results. Let’s make some food, discuss our next steps, and let Team A explore ahead to narrow our search area,” Amelie calmly responded.Before departure, the two teams had established themselves and chosen fancy names. Amelie didn’t bother with that and simply labeled Fiona’s group Team A.“What nonsense! You act like you know everything! If you guys listen to her, you’ll definitely fail and be laughed at by Team A!” Jodie rudely replied. Her mood was terrible, and she didn’t care about maintaining her image.“Yeah, you’re not from the organizers, so how do you know their arrangements?” Giada inquired as she agreed with Jodie. Although her tone wasn’t as sharp as Jodie’s, she still skeptically questioned Amelie. “What if they intentionally place the key in the most accessible location?”“Maybe we should search around first like what they’re doing,” Chester suggested, looking at Jodie and Giada. Meanwhile, Elyse looked at everyone and turned to Leo, signaling she would follow his decision. Even though Fabian hadn’t said a word, it appeared that he would agree with the choice made by the majority. With the situation settled, only Leo and Blake’s opinions remained. Since nobody dared to challenge Leo, they turned to Blake.

Chapter 257
“Blakey, you’re thinking the same thing as me, right?” Jodie couldn’t contain her excitement and asked eagerly. She was confident in her decision-making skills and knew that not only would he agree with her, but he would also find her quite remarkable. Suddenly, she felt a surge of confidence and tossed her long hair gracefully.“I believe—” Blake flashed a gentle grin, and his pure and meek expression drew everyone’s attention.When she heard the word he said, she jumped up with joy. “I knew it—”“That Miss Foxy’s analysis is correct.”“What?” Jodie’s excitement came to a sudden stop. Thinking she must have heard wrong, she looked at him in disbelief.However, Blake’s eyes fell softly on Amelie. One could practically see his attraction to Foxy… Who would believe that he had no interest in her? Nevertheless, Jodie had long suspected it, and now that his gaze was so candid, she was so angry that she nearly exploded. Then, she shouted, “Leo!”Meanwhile, Leo stood silently, and his gaze was also fixed on Amelie. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect her to say what he wanted to say first. When he learned that she was Foxy, he only thought she was pretty talented, but he soon realized that her thinking was so sharp and intelligent. “She’s right,” he responded to Jodie after a while.I can’t say I blame Blake for siding with this woman, but even my brother sided with her! Still, Jodie couldn’t figure it out. What kind of monster is this woman?Then, she glared fiercely at Amelie. Receiving her death stare, Amelie shrugged silently. It’s a good thing I wore the mask here. If my true identity is revealed, Jodie’s anger might double.“Since that’s the case, let’s make some food first. I’ll wash the vegetables.” Elyse quickly brought out a basin of greens and spoke up. Then, she cleverly blocked Leo’s view of Amelie when she walked by the two.When Fabian saw that everyone had decided, he quickly assigned tasks. The girls and Chester went to look for a water source and wash the vegetables. At the same time, the remaining men set off toward the distant building to see if it could be used. Nonetheless, Jodie naturally didn’t want to do any hard work. When Leo and the others left, she angrily got on the bus and went to sleep. Hence, Amelie didn’t bother with her and took out a basket of vegetables to wash.“Let’s do it together,” Giada walked over, happily linking her arm with Amelie’s as if she had forgotten all about her earlier disdain for Amelie.The water source wasn’t difficult to find, but

the area was desolate. Since Amelie grew up in the countryside and had experience, she led the group in clearing a road without the proper equipment. In the end, she ended up taking over as leader of the small group, which had been led by Chester. After a while, they finally arrived at the water’s edge. The water was not polluted and was crystal clear, which excited Elyse, Chester, and a few others who went to play in the water.Meanwhile, Amelie silently walked to the higher ground and washed the vegetables with her head down.Then, Giada held a tomato in her hand, looked around, and squatted down after making sure no one was paying attention. She gently tapped Amelie and said, “That Mr. Alston is so impressive. Although he’s stern, his decisions are accurate and amazing. No wonder his company can be so successful. He’s such a great man! Don’t you find him attractive?”Amelie smiled absent-mindedly and replied, “Not really.” She used to find him attractive, but that was in the past.“You’re so smart. How come you have no ambition at all?” Giada pushed her in disapproval. “I’ve seen him glance at you a few times.”“Glance at me?” Amelie tried to think and could only recall sensual moments between Leo and Elyse. “I think you’re mistaken.”Nevertheless, Giada sighed lightly as she looked Amelie up and down. She couldn’t help but try to lift the edge of Amelie’s mask with her fingers. However, Amelie grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?”“I didn’t mean anything by it. I assumed that wearing this mask the whole day must be tiring for you. There’s no filming equipment here, so you can remove it.”“No need.” Amelie pushed Giada’s hand away.Afterward, Giada looked at her thoughtfully as she bit into the tomato. “Miss Foxy, is something wrong with your face since you always cover it with a mask?”“Mmm.” Amelie gave a vague answer as she didn’t want to bother explaining herself to Giada.When Giada heard her response, she suddenly relaxed, and her face lit up with a smile. “No wonder! That’s why you don’t dare to fall for Mr. Alston.”Amelie was speechless. My appearance has nothing to do with not falling for him.“Since you’re not interested in him, I’ll pursue him.” Giada playfully spoke and stuck out her tongue. As it turned out, she had been asking around Amelie for so long because she wanted to pursue Leo herself.Suddenly, a flabbergasted smile crossed Amelie’s face under her mask. After four years of marriage, I still haven’t won his affection. Thinking she could win him over in one TV show is ridiculous! Initially, she intended to give Giada some well-meaning advice but ultimately kept her mouth shut. Sometimes, it is best to let someone learn from their mistakes.As

dusk settled in after dinner, neither Fabian nor Team A had returned. Amelie could tell that Fabian had gone to find Fiona, as he had taken something with him when he left, which was probably food for her. However, Fabian’s departure didn’t affect Team B’s activities, as Leo was a stabilizing force, and everyone seemed to feel secure with him around.“Those with talent are different, like Leo. No matter where he goes, he can quickly adapt to the environment. He’s practically a God!” Giada exclaimed, her eyes constantly flicking toward the second floor where the men were surveying the terrain. Her gaze was fixated on Leo as she had already marked him as her man since deciding to pursue him.Then, Elyse elegantly chimed in, “Yeah, Leo has always been exceptional. I’ve known him for years and have never seen him falter. He’s my strongest support.”Elyse’s words emphasized her and Leo’s unique relationship, which made Giada feel like she had swallowed a fly.On the other hand, Jodie, who rarely bothered to speak to them, said something out of the blue. “Not only you guys, even I, as his little sister who grew up with him, haven’t seen him defeated yet. In school, his grades were the best, and whatever he did, he always performed dozens of times better than others.”Amelie listened quietly to their conversation, blinking. Suddenly, she thought of those days 10 years ago. Leo was silent, moody, anxious, and quick-tempered. If things didn’t go his way, he would throw things and not take care of his health. In addition, he was a problematic teenager, utterly different from the person they were describing. Perhaps, he was her bad karma from her previous life, so he showed her all his ugly sides. When she finally changed him, he left and completely forgot about her. Touching her left eye, which had almost no sight, she sighed quietly.Meanwhile, Team B still had yet to return at night. For safety reasons, everyone took turns keeping watch in pairs. So, she took the initiative to team up with Blake, as few people knew about his poor health, and she was worried he might overexert himself. When it was their turn to patrol, she didn’t wake him but went out alone. The night wind was freezing and biting, especially in the deserted wilderness. Even though the building they stayed in was old and falling apart, at least the old walls protected them from the cold. However, they were still concerned about the possibility of wild beasts or other intruders.Amelie held her phone, which had the flashlight function, and slowly walked around the perimeter. As she walked, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, like something stepping on leaves. The sound was incredibly eerie and ominous in the dead of night.

Chapter 258
Amelie was trying to guess whether it was a bear or a person when suddenly, the rustling sound behind her grew louder. In a flash, a powerful force struck her neck from behind! She quickly ducked out of the way and grabbed the hand, reaching for her. Twisting her body, she slipped under the other person’s arm and tried to throw them over her shoulder in one move.“It’s me!” a low voice suddenly said, and a hand pressed down on her shoulder, halting her movement.She was momentarily stunned, but then she heard the name she recognized well.“I’m Leo.”“Leo?” She turned around and shone the phone’s light on him. Then, she saw the sharp line of his jaw and, above that, his pursed lips, nose, and those clear, stern, and always indifferent eyes. He was staring at her, his eyes wide with surprise.“You know martial arts?” She would have thrown him off if he hadn’t called out in time.“I learned a little before,” Amelie replied casually, not wanting to say much. She turned her body and met Leo’s gaze, standing straight and composed. His height gave him a clear advantage, and he looked down at her as if he wanted to see right through her.“How much do you know?” he asked, feeling he didn’t know his former wife. She’s a social media star, a racecar driver, and now she knows martial arts?“Not much,” she replied, thinking they no longer needed to be honest with one another. After their divorce, it was no longer necessary for him to boastfully list her qualities. On the other hand, these were merely hobbies for her, and she never felt conceited about learning them.“I’m gonna go patrol,” she said and walked away.Nonetheless, Leo did not leave but instead followed Amelie. “Are you alone?”After Fabian left, he entrusted the patrol work to Chester. There was an initial request for a man and a woman to patrol together, but no specific details were provided.“Blakey’s not feeling well, so I didn’t wake him up,” she responded truthfully. She knew martial arts and could easily defeat the typical bad guys and small animals. So, having him around wouldn’t do her much good if a ferocious and dangerous animal came.A cold and sarcastic “Hmph!” sounded beside her as soon as she finished speaking.“You’re so concerned about him.”I assumed Blake has feelings for her, but it appears she is providing him with more care. Suddenly, a sour feeling rose in Leo’s stomach, and he clenched his fists silently at his side.These words made Amelie very uncomfortable, so she turned to look at him. His face, already
