Liu Yi felt a tightness in his heart and said resentfully: "Ran... I really don’t know what you see in him, is it just because he’s a pretty boy?"
"The more a person looks like that, the less reliable they become! Do you know what we saw while we were out hunting just now? We saw that guy kissing that woman!"
Liang Feng knew that Liu Yi might be telling the truth, but he sternly retorted: "Liu Yi, what nonsense are you talking about? That woman is his bodyguard, that’s absolutely impossible!"
Liu Yi immediately held up three fingers: "I swear! If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning!"
"Ran... Teacher Shu, I’m really not lying to you, this kid you’re seeing is nothing but a scoundrel, he doesn’t have you in his heart at all!"
"Right now he’s probably up to no good with that woman, not caring at all that you’re here hungry!"
"At this critical moment, it’s still me, why do you think I went through so much trouble to get all this food, if not for fear that you’d be dragged down by that guy..."
He was just saying this when suddenly there was a commotion in the large camp, followed by some exclamations of surprise.
"Holy crap, this dude is too awesome, he’s actually carrying a wild boar with one hand!"
"That wild boar must weigh at least 200 pounds, he’s truly born with supernatural strength!"
"No wonder Teacher Shu chose him as her boyfriend, he’s really young and strong!"
"You’re focusing on the wrong point, what we should really be concerned about is how he managed to take down this wild boar, it’s not just a rabbit, or a wild chicken, but a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds!"
"Last year, it took four of us half a day to hunt down a wild boar, and only when it was exhausted were we finally able to deal with it. We even had to call for a raptor to bring it back."
"This guy himself took care of everything, tsk tsk, I’ve never seen anyone as impressive as him before!"
At this moment, Liang Feng spotted Zhang Jingdong in the crowd and declared, "It’s Zhang Jingdong! He brought back a wild boar!"
At these words, Liu Yi was instantly dumbfounded: "How... how is that possible?"
Whereas Shu Ran was immediately beaming with joy: "Really!"
Saying so, she dashed toward the crowd.
Liang Feng didn’t bother with Liu Yi anymore and followed suit.
Then, they saw Zhang Jingdong still holding the big wild boar in one hand, calling out to Teacher Shu and Captain Liang through the crowd: "Teacher Shu, Captain Liang, you’re in for a treat tonight, I’ll make you my specialty roast wild boar!"
At that moment, a female member of the team couldn’t help but say: "Zhang Jingdong, that wild boar is so big, they surely can’t finish it all, can we join in and have a share?"
Zhang Jingdong’s heart lightened, and he generously said: "Of course there’s no problem, it’s fate that we’ve all met here, besides, with such a big wild boar, it’s better to have more people around to eat to create atmosphere!"
The other party’s face lit up with joy: "You’re truly worthy of being the man Teacher Shu has her eye on, your presence is just different!"
Zhang Jingdong curled his lips: "Just for that compliment, you guys can come and freeload meals from our team for the next few days, I’ll be in charge of the cooking, guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds!"
"Really? That’s amazing! Thank you, and our dear Teacher Shu... Teacher Shu, your taste in men is simply unparalleled, later you must share your experience with us, we also want to find a perfect man who’s young and strong, handsome, and with such an expansive outlook like him!"
Hearing this, Shu Ran, unusually full of joy, said: "There’s no talk of experience here, it’s all about luck! Zhang Jingdong here, I only met him after using up half my life’s fortune!"
Liang Feng also took the opportunity to say: "When have you ever seen our Teacher Shu this proud? It’s clear that the man she found truly pleases her heart, you all should be envious!"
"Please... Just us envious? Aren’t you envious, too? Captain Liang, Teacher Shu getting such a great boyfriend, you should be the one who’s most frustrated, right?"
"You better get a move on, and it’ll probably be quite difficult for you to surpass Teacher Shu, huh!"
But Liang Feng just snorted: "You guys just don’t understand, before I was her girlfriend, so in the future, her boyfriend is also mine to use as I please, tsk tsk, just be envious!"
"Yours to use? How can you just use him? Don’t tell me you’re just going to have him hunt wild boars for you?"
"That’s not something you need to worry about, I’ll use him as I like, just go on and be envious!"
"Right, when you come over later for the roast wild boar, you can’t just eat for free, our Chef Zhang likes to watch the ladies perform, you all can dance for him!"
"Teacher Shu is a professional dance teacher, us dancing for her boyfriend would just be embarrassing!"
"That’s exactly what we want! You to be embarrassing, this way our Chef Zhang can realize even more how precious our Teacher Shu is!"
"Fine... Well, since we’re eating someone else’s food, we’re short on say, we’ll dance, who’s afraid!"
When Zhang Jingdong and the rest were heading back to their camp, they happened to run into Liu Yi.
Zhang Jingdong immediately turned to see Shu Ran and Liang Feng: "What’s he doing coming to our side?"
Shu Ran hurriedly said: "Jingdong, don’t overthink it, he came over on his own..."
Liang Feng also helped to explain: "Just ignore him, this guy is just causing trouble for no reason!"
Seeing that both Liang Feng and Shu Ran weren’t on his side, and now that Zhang Jingdong was showcasing his strength once again by holding such a large wild boar with one hand, they were even less likely to support him.
And Liu Yi himself was now almost instinctively fearful of Zhang Jingdong, so with a mix of nervousness, fear, and stubbornness he said: "You... what does it have to do with you? My legs are my own, I’ll go wherever I want!"
