“Stay close, it’s getting dark soon. Going too far might be dangerous. Make sure to come back quickly,” Xia Xin cautioned them.

Beside her, Jing MO couldn’t help but let his lips curl into a smile.

[Wow, Jing MO is smiling! So handsome!] [How can anyone be this good-looking?] [What’s he looking at?]

[Could he possibly be looking at Xia Xin?] [Newsflash!]

[Is Jing MO trying to be a third wheel?]

[Xia Xin is MO Shu’s girlfriend; Jing MO shouldn’t be doing this.]

[But, I think Jing MO and Xia Xin look good together.]

The tone of the online commentary shifted suddenly.bender

While Xia Xin and Jing MO were still busy, Zhou Lian and Xu Zhi returned, Xu Zhi holding a skinned rabbit in his hands.

“Xia Xin, we’ve taken care of this by the river. You can cook it if you’d like. I see you only have fish there. We’ve also caught a rabbit; how about we diversify our meal?”

Xia Xin marveled at Xu Zhi’s competence as she took the skinned rabbit. Suddenly, a trending phrase popped into her head. She said, “Bunnies are so cute; how can we eat them?”

Xu Zhi grinned, “Xia Xin, how about we divide the labor for meals? In the future, we’ll gather the food, and you cook it. Deal?”

Jing MO, who had been silently listening, scowled, evidently not keen on Xu Zhi’s idea.

Xu Zhi elaborated, “I can’t keep taking advantage of you without giving something in return. Gathering food or fetching water is the least we can do.

Why not do it together?”

“Alright, let’s do it that way,” Xia Xin agreed.

Jing MO gave Xia Xin a disapproving glance. As soon as the others left, he asked, “Why did you agree to that?”

Noting his displeasure, Xia Xin glanced around; thankfully, the camera was far enough away not to pick up their conversation.

“If the viewers heard you, who knows what they’d say. We’re just sharing meals; it’s not like we’re merging our lives. This way, we can save time foraging and focus on completing our tasks,” she explained.

Jing Mo t s brows remained furrowed, making it clear that he didn’t particularly like Xu Zhi.

“I’ll go prepare the food,” Jing MO declared, spinning on his heels to walk away.

When the scent of cooking wafted through the air, Xu Zhi and Zhou Lian returned, buckets filled with water in tow. Xia Xin lent them some of her cooking gear. Upon seeing the prepared dishes, Xu Zhi was amazed. “Xia Xin, you’ve outdone yourself! This is more like a vacation than wilderness survival!” “It’s just for a few days; after that, we’ll have to live off the land. Let’s eat first, and we can talk later,” Xia Xin said.

By then, Lu Shi and Tian Mei had awakened. Attracted by the aroma, Tian Mei climbed out of her hammock. She exclaimed, “Wow, what are you guys eating? It smells amazing!”

Tian Mei’s words fell on deaf ears. Everyone was too busy eating to pay her any mind.

Annoyed, Tian Mei clenched her teeth. She felt infuriated because no one had ever treated her like that. She ventured another attempt, “What are you guys eating? I’m really hungry.”

Usually, any girl mentioning she was hungry would prompt guys to show a bit of chivalry. However, Xu Zhi and Jing MO barely acknowledged her, their brows contracting slightly in a flash of distaste.

Lu Shi noticed Tian Mei’s behavior but didn’t stop her. He, too, was hungry and if Tian Mei could score some food, he could as well. Plus, he had a plan, one that would require using Tian Mei to its fullest. His eyes fixed on Xia Xin, and a playful smile twinkled in his gaze. Whoever he set his sights on had to become his..
