Chapter 158: Family

“How is it? Is Hanks willing to come over?”

In the room, Scarlett Johansson asked as she sat beside Bell.

Bell nodded.

“Of course, look who invited him.”

Bell put on a proud expression, making Scarlett Johansson laugh.

“Yes, yes, yes. Your reputation is the greatest.”

After a few jokes, Scarlett suddenly remembered something and looked at Bell.

“By the way, Bell, the Wilderness Survival production team contacted us when you were not around.”

“Oh, what’s the matter?”

Bell was surprised.

It had only been half a month since he left and finished the survival in the Australian wilderness.

It had only been a month since the Wilderness Survival’s show had finished.

The next program was set to be two months later.

Did something happen?

Otherwise, the production team would not have disturbed him.

But Scarlett shook her head.

“I don’t know about this either. They just said that they wanted to see you and didn’t tell us in detail. After knowing that you were not around, they left.”

Bell frowned.

It seemed like it was not about the program’s recording. They probably wanted to discuss something else with him, otherwise they would have informed Scarlett and others.

After all, everyone knew that Scarlett and other girls were shareholders of Bell’s company. It was not a secret and there was also no need to conceal it.

Bell said after a moment.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go to the station and see what they want from me.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

Scarlett asked.

Bell smiled and shook his head.

“No need, I’ll be back on the same day.”

Scarlett nodded to show that she understood and said nothing else.

But after saying that, the two of them suddenly fell silent.

For a moment, the two of them did not know what to say. They sat on the bed in a daze, unable to say a word.

Scarlett blushed.

Bell also felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have changed.

“That…”

“You still…”

The two of them spoke at the same time, but their words collided again and they immediately swallowed their words.

The atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. Bell secretly glanced at Scarlett.

Scarlett coincidentally glanced at Bell.

Their gazes met.

When they saw that the other party was looking at them, they were stunned.

Immediately after, the awkward atmosphere was broken.

Pfft!

Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth and laughed.

“If you want to look, just look. Why are you so sneaky?”

Scarlett asked Bell playfully.

Bell blushed.

Scarlett Johansson suddenly leaned over and approached Bell. Their noses were almost touching.

Bell’s nostrils were filled with the fragrance of Scarlett.

It made his heart beat faster.

Seeing Bell’s nervous expression, Scarlett Johansson smiled even wider.

“Look at how nervous you are. What are you doing? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”

Bell scratched his head awkwardly.

He was not an eight-year-old child, mentally at least. It was not like he did not know anything about the atmosphere earlier.

After laughing, Scarlett suddenly stopped.

She looked up at Bell solemnly.

Bell was also a little nervous by Scarlett’s expression.

Scarlett said, “Bell, promise me that you won’t take such risks again.”

Scarlett sounded very serious, and Bell knew that she was not joking.

At the same time, he knew what Scarlett was talking about. It was the action of jumping across the cliff in the live broadcast.

Back then, during the live broadcast, others might have found it very exciting.

However, when Scarlett Johansson saw Bell’s jump, she felt like her soul had left her body.

Back then, she had closed her eyes in fear and did not dare to look.

Perhaps when others watched Bell’s live broadcast, they were mainly looking for excitement and interaction with the host.

However, after knowing Bell for so long, Scarlett’s feelings for Bell gradually changed.

In the past, Scarlett would have thought that Bell’s action was very handsome and would have admired him.

But with this trace of affection, after seeing Bell’s actions, she was only worried.

After all, no one wanted someone close to them to do such a dangerous thing.

Bell understood what Scarlett meant and lowered his head in shame.

Indeed, he had always been alone, so he liked to chase after exciting things.

But unknowingly, there were already so many people surrounding him.

Scarlett, Keira, Anne, Natalie, Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Ziqi, and even Ye Fei had gradually interacted with his life.

They were like family to him.

When doing these dangerous things, they would definitely be worried for him, or even be frightened.

Bell was very ashamed.

This was his job and his choice, but he was also not willing to let them continue being afraid.

“Sorry, in the future, I will…”

Bell lowered his head, not daring to look into Scarlett’s eyes.

But before he could finish, he suddenly felt his body pause and fall into softness.

Then, he heard Scarlett Johansson say softly.

“Bell, I know you’re not a child. At the very least, not mentally. You can make your own decision in the wilderness.

I have no right to decide for you.

But we are friends. Seeing you in danger, I will still worry for you.”

“I don’t want you to give up on this career, but if possible, don’t do anything too dangerous. Try to choose safer routes if you have the choice.”

Scarlett’s tone was reproachful and pleading, making Bell feel worried.

However, after hearing Scarlett Johansson’s words, Bell felt a trace of warmth.

He did not know what his feelings for Scarlett were, but this feeling of being a family was indeed very reassuring.
