Chapter 102: Chapter 101 Shen Jingchuan is Angry Chapter 102: Chapter 101 Shen Jingchuan is Angry Shen Jingchuan: “……”
Speechless, what did that block of ice and that arrogant jerk have to compare with him?
Yin Haoyu was also left speechless by Shen Jingchuan’s rebuke.
Because he was not in the right, he didn’t want to continue arguing with Shen Jingchuan.
He just silently carried the last remaining bucket of water over to Min Xiasha.
“Xiasha, this bucket of water is yours, I won’t fight over it with you, let’s use it together.”
Min Xiasha thought Yin Haoyu was useless, he couldn’t even stand up to Alex, and now he expected to smooth things over just by bringing a bucket of water?
Impossible!
Furious, Min Xiasha kicked the bucket away.
The bucket rolled down the slope with thuds, and by the time it stopped, the bucket was torn, the clear water spilling out onto the ground.
Wenyan hurried over to pick up the bucket, both angry and heartbroken.
“What are you doing, Min Xiasha, do you know how hard it was to get this bucket of water? This isn’t your home! You can’t just act like this, we’re a team, and by doing this—”
“Who’s on your team? When did I ever join your team?”
On hearing even a nobody like Wenyan shouting at her, Min Xiasha exploded.
“…Fine,” Wenyan said, laughing instead of getting angry, “if that’s how it is, then don’t use the water I fetched, and don’t drink the shellfish soup I make tonight.”
“I won’t drink it, do you think you’re the only one who can find water and food? Yin Haoyu, let’s go, I refuse to believe we can’t find anything to eat or drink.”
“…Okay,” Yin Haoyu seemed conflicted, but still grabbed the saw and left with Min Xiasha.
Only half of the water from the kicked bucket could be saved in the end.
Xu He, worried that Wenyan might be upset after the argument with Min Xiasha, offered her a few words of comfort.
But Wenyan didn’t mind: “I think the person who should feel embarrassed is her. If she doesn’t feel at all embarrassed or down, then I certainly won’t feel that way. Let’s get on with building the camp fencing, otherwise, we’ll be wasting time.”
Jing Hao also expressed his agreement: “I think we need to have a good talk with her when she gets back.”
Everyone quickly got absorbed in their work, and when the branches were almost all cut, Shen Jingchuan took a fishing hook and line and went out.
He planned to try his hand at fishing.
By the time the sun was nearly set, the camp finally had a rough fence, but it still needed repairs.
However, it was clearly too late for that today.
When the shellfish soup was boiling, Min Xiasha and Yin Haoyu returned.
Without a word, Min Xiasha stood aside while Yin Haoyu dragged a large bamboo pole to the campsite.
“We found a small bamboo grove in the jungle, so I cut down a bamboo pole. We can use it for utensils and chopsticks, and these branches can also be used to fill in the fence.
“Additionally, Xiasha also picked up some shells and seaweed. And along the way, Xiasha and I talked, and actually, her actions today were not intentional.”
While speaking, Yin Haoyu glanced around and, seeing that Shen Jingchuan was not there, he continued:
“Xiasha’s impulsive behavior today was because it was her first time leaving home, leaving her comfortable environment to survive in the wilderness, so she was understandably in a bad mood and spoke rashly.
“But she has now realized her mistake, so during our outing today, she tried to do things to make up for her earlier blunders. Xiasha, come here quickly.”
Summoned by Yin Haoyu, Min Xiasha walked up to the group.
Looking at everyone, she suddenly bowed deeply.
“I’m sorry, everyone, my personality and temper caused me to say and do things today that upset you all. I’d like to formally apologize to you and hope you can give me a chance to make amends.”
The two had indeed discussed matters on their way out.
However, none of the words Yin Haoyu had said had been taken to heart by Min Xiasha.
She had her own considerations.
Some of her behavior today was indeed caused by a moment of impulsive anger.
She also knew that if she kept having conflicts with other guests, they couldn’t continue filming the show, and if she was always alone on camera, the production team might end up cutting her out.
But she also knew that she had created buzz and highlights for the show, and in the future, the production team would even use her clips for the lead-ins and trailers.
This was such a good opportunity, she was definitely going to stay with the production team.
So she had already thought it through.
When she returned, she would apologize and rejoin the group.
After all, everyone was just temporarily brought together, and there wasn’t any real emotional bond between them.
Now seeing Min Xiasha taking the initiative to admit her fault, Xu He immediately smoothed things over:
“Xiasha, it’s great that you can recognize your deficiencies and reflect on yourself. I believe our team will only get better.”
Jing Hao also said a few perfunctory words.
When it was Qin Yan’s turn, Min Xiasha took the initiative to smile and shake hands with her.
Qin Yan returned her smile, “Hope everything goes smoothly from now on.”
When it came to Wenyan, although Min Xiasha was still smiling, her eyes flashed with sparks and lightning.
Wenyan didn’t give her a warm response, forcing a smile, “Well, we’ll see how you do from now on.”
–
After Yin Haoyu and Jing Hao had finished cutting the bamboo tubes and splitting the chopsticks, Shen Jingchuan had just returned.
As soon as he got back, he noticed that the atmosphere was off.
It seemed like that drama queen, Min Xiasha, had once again blended into the group.
He frowned and walked straight over to sit down beside Wenyan.
“Didn’t catch any fish, but I found a coconut. What happened while I was away?”
Wenyan didn’t know what kind of expression to put on.
“Nothing much, just Min Xiasha apologizing to us, promising she won’t make the same mistakes as today again.”
Shen Jingchuan scoffed, “What a bunch of lies.”
At that moment, the soup was already done, and under Xu He’s call, everyone gathered around the pot.
Min Xiasha began handing out utensils—the bamboo tubes.
She distributed them until there was only Wenyan left.
Just as Wenyan reached out to take one, ‘pop’, the bamboo tube fell to the ground.
Min Xiasha suddenly smiled at Wenyan, “Oh dear, sorry, my hand slipped.”
The tone was utterly unapologetic.
Wenyan now understood that Min Xiasha was deliberately targeting her.
She had become smart, no longer antagonizing everyone, talking to the others with a pleasant demeanor, but her attitude changed when it came to Wenyan.
She was really clever!
Wenyan was ready to retaliate, but before she could open her mouth, an impatient Shen Jingchuan kicked the bamboo tube away.
“Intentional, wasn’t it? How come it just happens to slip when it gets to here?”
After speaking, Shen Jingchuan stood up, grabbed the axe leaning against the tree, and began to furiously hack at the coconut he’d brought back.
With just a few strikes, he obtained two bowls made of real coconut shells, way more convenient than bamboo tubes.
“Here.” He handed one directly to Wenyan, “We don’t need hers, we’ll use our own.”
