Shen Jingchuan: "......"
Speechless. What do that ice-cold guy and that arrogant jerk have to compare with him?
Yin Haoyu was also rendered speechless by Shen Jingchuan's retort.
Since he was in the wrong, he couldn't continue arguing with Shen Jingchuan.
He simply went and quietly carried the last remaining bucket of water to Min Xiaxia.
"Xiaxia, this bucket of water is yours. I won't take it from you. Let's use it together."
Min Xiaxia thought Yin Haoyu was useless. He couldn't even stand up to Alex, and now he was trying to settle things with just a bucket of water?
impossible!
Min Xiaxia was furious and kicked the bucket away.
The bucket rolled down the slope with a thud, and when it came to a stop, the bucket was torn, and clear water spilled all over the ground.
Wen Yan quickly ran over and lifted the bucket up, feeling both angry and distressed.
"What are you doing, Min Xiaxia? Do you know how hard it was to get this bucket of water? This isn't your home! You can't throw a tantrum like this. We're a team. You can't act like this..."
"Who's on your team? When did I become your team?"
The thought that even an unknown nobody like Wen Yan could yell at her made Min Xiaxia shout back.
“…Fine,” Wen Yan laughed instead of getting angry, “In that case, don’t use the water I fetched, and don’t drink the soup I made with the seashells I collected tonight.”
"Fine, don't drink then. Do you think you're the only one who can find water and food? Yin Haoyu, let's go. I don't believe we can't find food and drink."
“…Okay.” Yin Haoyu hesitated for a moment, but still took the saw and left with Min Xiaxia.
The bucket of water that Min Xiaxia kicked and broke was only half salvaged in the end.
Xu He was worried that Wen Yan would be in a bad mood after arguing with Min Xiaxia, so he comforted her with a few words.
Wen Yan, however, didn't seem to care: "I think she's the one who should feel awkward. If she doesn't feel awkward or down at all, then I feel even less so. Let's work on the camp's perimeter wall first, otherwise we'll just waste time."
Jing Hao also agreed: "I think we need to have a good talk with her after she comes back."
Everyone quickly got to work, and when the branches were almost all cut down, Shen Jingchuan took the fishing hooks and lines and went out.
He planned to try and see if he could catch any fish.
As the sun was about to set, the campsite finally had a rough fence, but it still needed repairs.
But there's clearly not enough time today.
Min Xiaxia and Yin Haoyu returned just as the clam soup was boiling.
Min Xiaxia didn't say anything, and Yin Haoyu dragged a large bamboo pole to the front of the camp.
“We found a small bamboo grove in the jungle, so I cut down a bamboo stalk and brought it back. We can use it for cutlery and chopsticks, and the branches can also be used to fill in the fence.”
"Xiaxia also picked up some seashells and seaweed. I talked to Xiaxia about it along the way, and we realized that she didn't do it on purpose."
As Yin Haoyu spoke, he glanced around, and seeing that Shen Jingchuan wasn't there, he continued:
"Xiaxia was so impulsive today because it was her first time leaving home and her comfortable environment to survive in the wild, so she was inevitably in a bad mood and spoke a bit rashly."
"But she has realized her mistake, so on the way out just now she was trying to do something to make up for her previous mistake. Xiaxia, come here quickly."
Called by Yin Haoyu, Min Xiaxia walked up to the group.
She looked at everyone, then suddenly bent down and bowed to them.
"I'm sorry everyone. Today, due to my personality and temper, I said and did some things that made you uncomfortable. I sincerely apologize to you and hope you can give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
The two of them did discuss it on their way out.
However, Min Xiaxia didn't take Yin Haoyu's words to heart at all.
She had her own considerations.
Some of her actions today were indeed due to a momentary impulse stemming from a fit of temper.
She knew that if she fell out with the other guests, the show couldn't continue filming. If she was always alone in one shot, the production team might cut her out in the end.
However, she also knew that she had created hype and buzz for the show, and that the production team might even use her clips directly as previews and promotional videos in the future.
With such a great opportunity, she definitely wants to stay with the show.
So she had already thought it through.
She will apologize and rejoin the group after she returns.
We were all brought together temporarily, and there wasn't any real affection or connection between us.
Seeing that Min Xiaxia had taken the initiative to admit her mistake, Xu He immediately tried to smooth things over:
"Xiaxia, it's great that you're aware of your shortcomings and can reflect on yourself. I believe our team will get better and better."
Jing Hao also said a couple of words as a token gesture.
When it was Qin Yan's turn, Min Xiaxia took the initiative to shake hands with her with a smile.
Qin Yan returned her a smile: "I hope everything goes well from now on."
When it was Wen Yan's turn, Min Xiaxia was still smiling, but her eyes were flashing with anger.
Wen Yan didn't give her a friendly look either, forcing a smile: "Then we'll see how you perform next."
-
Just after Yin Haoyu and Jing Hao finished sawing the bamboo tubes and splitting the chopsticks, Shen Jingchuan returned.
He noticed something was off as soon as he got back.
It seems that the drama queen Min Xiaxia has integrated into the group again.
He frowned and walked straight to Wen Yan, sitting down next to her.
"Didn't catch any fish, but found a coconut. What happened while I was away?"
Wen Yan didn't know what kind of expression to use for herself.
"It's nothing, Min Xiaxia just apologized to us and promised not to make the same mistake again."
Shen Jingchuan scoffed, "Nonsense."
By this time, the soup had already been cooked, and at Xu He's call, everyone sat around the pot.
Min Xiaxia started distributing tableware—bamboo tubes—to everyone.
She kept sending them until the very end, and it wasn't Wen Yan's turn.
Just as Wen Yan reached out to take it, the bamboo tube fell to the ground with a 'thud'.
Min Xiaxia suddenly smiled at Wen Yan: "Oh dear, sorry, my hand slipped."
The tone didn't sound like someone who was embarrassed at all.
Wen Yan now understood that Min Xiaxia was deliberately targeting her.
She's learned her lesson now; she no longer makes enemies of everyone. She speaks to others with a gentle and kind tone, but she changes her attitude when it comes to herself.
She's really something!
Wen Yan was about to retaliate, but before she could even open her mouth, the impatient Shen Jingchuan kicked the bamboo tube away.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Why did your hand slip at this crucial moment?"
After saying that, Shen Jingchuan got up, picked up the axe leaning against the tree, and began to chop the coconut he had brought back.
In just one go, he obtained two real coconut shell bowls, which were much more convenient than bamboo tubes.
"Take it." He shoved one of them directly into Wen Yan's hand. "We won't use hers, we'll use our own."
