Zheng Tianming was injured and lying in the tent. Shen Yunxi deliberately isolated Xu Mengyu with He Kai, not even giving her a hot drink, let alone food or water.
Xu Mengyu wasn't one to passively accept her fate. Every day, she would take an axe and clear another open space, but fearing danger, she didn't go too far.
She lit her own campfire and boiled water in her own basin. As for food and clothing, she would catch fish. When she slept, she would sleep in a large open space with nothing to cover her.
He Kai handed the roasted rabbit meat to Zheng Tianming: "You have no idea how heartbroken Sister Shen was. In the end, we decided to kill it to nourish you."
Zheng Tianming didn't say much.
"Also, Mengyu brought you fish soup, but..." He Kai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give it to Zheng Tianming so that he could see it for himself.
Zheng Tianming looked at the fish soup and raised his eyelids slightly. Little Han Dan hadn't learned any of Uncle Xu's cooking skills; even the water used to wash the pots was clearer than this.
After Shen Yunxi came in, she quickly snatched the fish soup from Zheng Tianming's hands: "Once you're better, you can eat whatever you want, but not now."
"Give it back to me." Zheng Tianming frowned. Whether he drank it or not was his business; why should he take it from him?
Shen Yunxi poured the fish soup directly into the tent: "No, you can be angry if you want, but I need to prioritize your health."
Seeing Zheng Tianming about to get up, He Kai quickly reached out his hand: "Alright, alright, the soup's all gone now, you can't drink it now." He then handed the rabbit meat to Zheng Tianming: "Get well first."
Zheng Tianming's face was tense, his thin lips were tightly closed, and his gaze was as cold as a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart. Shen Yunxi dared not meet his eyes and left the tent with red eyes.
“Brother, Mengyu is beautiful, but that woman is too ruthless. Putting aside her running away, has she come to see you in the past few days?” He Kai couldn’t help but speak up for Shen Yunxi.
Before Zheng Tianming was injured, the team relied entirely on him. Now that he is so badly injured, only Shen Yunxi takes care of him day and night. Xu Mengyu has not even come to see him, only bringing him a bowl of fish soup that he cannot drink.
The facts are right in front of us. Even if the escape was a fabrication, how is this settled? The younger sister is treated worse than an outsider like Shen Yunxi...
Zheng Tianming lowered his eyes. If Xu Mengyu wasn't ruthless, she wouldn't be Xu Mengyu...
Shen Yunxi sat outside, gently fanning herself with a fan made of grass leaves. Seeing Xu Mengyu passing by carrying water, she said softly, "Sister Mengyu, Tianming said that the soup you made was terrible." As she spoke, she gestured with her chin, "Look, it's all on the ground."
“If you treat pleasing a man as something to brag about…” Xu Mengyu stopped and looked at Shen Yunxi: “Then you win, congratulations.”
What's so great about showing off? Going to great lengths to please a man is really worthless.
Shen Yunxi fanned herself with her fan and chuckled lightly: "A loss is a loss. Besides, haven't you ever tried to please a man before?"
"So, you won. Happy?" Xu Mengyu finished speaking, a suppressed laugh on her face. As she bent down to lift the bucket, she muttered under her breath, "I've never seen anyone hold a donkey's dung in their arms and think it smells good..."
"I'll tell Tianming in a bit, you said he's a donkey... poop..." Shen Yunxi covered her mouth with her fan, not knowing if Xu Mengyu had any manners, she kept saying poop.
Without turning her head, Xu Mengyu shouted, "Zheng Tianming, you're a piece of trash!"
She didn't even need to complain about this; I never intended to hide it anyway.
Zheng Tianming was applying medicine when he heard the sound. He frowned, but didn't react much.
It rained heavily that night, and Xu Mengyu had to carry her small bag back to the shed to take shelter from the rain.
"Tianming, don't get so close to me, it's so hot," Shen Yunxi said sweetly. She had just seen a figure; it must be Xu Mengyu.
Zheng Tianming was exhausted and had already fallen asleep, emitting soft snores.
He Kai turned around. The tent was only so big, and with three people's clothes and him in between, even if she tried to get close, she couldn't reach Zheng Tianming on the side...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Xu Mengyu sat on the grass mat with her knees drawn up to her chest, looking at the not-so-hot campfire. She planned to pick some fruit tomorrow and go to the woods behind the campfire.
Instead of complaining about the environment and people, we should think about how to solve our food and clothing problems tomorrow...
In the middle of the night, Zheng Tianming opened his eyes to the sound of rain. His shoulder and side wounds ached, and he wondered if Xu Mengyu had returned. Couldn't he just lower his head...?
Indeed, the moon, surrounded by stars, would never bow down to the grass and trees; she will always remain high above.
Shen Yunxi knew Zheng Tianming would soften his heart, so the moment he stood up, she sat up as well: "Tianming, don't move around, Brother He is still asleep."
Zheng Tianming ignored Shen Yunxi, as if he had gone hysterical.
Knowing what she was thinking, he didn't even need her to apply the medicine.
Shen Yunxi moved closer, blocking Zheng Tianming and preventing him from moving: "Be gentle, don't move... you're hurting me..."
He Kai lay flat on his back, with Shen Yunxi's knees pressed against his stomach and her hands supporting Zheng Tianming. He was almost out of breath. Fine, let it all end.
Zheng Tianming shook off Shen Yunxi's entanglement and, enduring the pain, left the tent. Xu Mengyu was nowhere to be found. He had seen fools before, but never anyone this foolish. She didn't even know to seek shelter from the rain!
Xu Mengyu put the wooden bucket on her head, hugged her legs, and sat on the wooden stake. It was too uncomfortable. It wouldn't hurt to go somewhere else.
Shen Yunxi brought out a windbreaker and draped it over Zheng Tianming's shoulders: "The wound on your back is bleeding again. Sister Mengyu has set up her own tent; she's determined to sever ties with us." She then let out a long sigh...
"You don't need to waste your time on me." Zheng Tianming said, then put on his windbreaker and limped forward.
A piece of flesh was torn off his calf by a wolf, and it still hasn't fully healed.
Shen Yunxi hugged Zheng Tianming from behind: "At first, I did approach you for some purpose, but now, I really like you."
Even if Zheng Tianming was nobody and came from an ordinary family, she would still be willing.
Zheng Tianming forcefully shook off Shen Yunxi, and in the instant that the wound was aggravated, he said in a deep voice, "I do not accept your affection. If you did not hear me clearly, I can repeat it many times."
Shen Yunxi stumbled and almost lost her balance when she was thrown. Knowing that Zheng Tianming was in a weak state, she hugged him again and said, "I don't care, it's no use saying it a thousand times."
Seeing this, He Kai had no choice but to come out of the tent...
"Brother He, come quickly! Tianming can't get wet in the rain, I can't hold him back," Shen Yunxi cried.
He Kai stepped forward: "Why won't you listen to advice? It's raining so hard, what if your wound gets infected!" Supplies are scarce right now, and there's not much medicine left.
Zheng Tianming completely ignored them; even the two of them combined couldn't hold him back.
"Alright, alright, I give up. I'll go find Xu Mengyu. You go inside and wait." After saying that, He Kai let go of Zheng Tianming and ran into the rain. It's just a small matter, isn't it?
They're all ancestors, and he's the only one doing odd jobs.
It would be a lie for Shen Yunxi to say she wasn't heartbroken. For so many days, she had taken meticulous care of Zheng Tianming, and yet, after just one rain shower, he had forgiven her.
What's so great about Xu Mengyu? She has no figure, and her only advantage is her family background.
He Kai yawned as he walked along the muddy road. When he reached the open space, he saw Xu Mengyu sitting alone with a wooden bucket on her head. He sighed. Since Zheng Tianming didn't care, then this matter was over.
"Mengyu, it's raining so hard, come back with me to take shelter from the rain." He Kai said, holding out his hand: "Come on, stop being stubborn."
"You were sent out too?" Xu Mengyu lifted the wooden bucket and blinked her beautiful eyes.
Does this idiot really think that Zheng Tianming asked her to come out so that she could go back to avoid the rain?
He Kai didn't understand what Xu Mengyu meant for a moment: "Ah, what else?"
"I'm not going, it's disgusting." Xu Mengyu said, then turned the wooden bucket back upside down, automatically ignoring He Kai's words.
He Kai tried several times, but Xu Mengyu shook him off each time, refusing to go back with him no matter what.
Zheng Tianming's wounds had reopened, and he was changing his dressing himself. Shen Yunxi sat beside him, silently shedding tears; she had just gone to help him but had been pushed away...
Upon seeing He Kai return, Zheng Tianming roughly guessed what had happened.
"Don't worry, we're sheltering from the rain." He Kai wiped the rain off his face after saying that. "I don't know what she meant by what she said, like getting rid of me or saying disgusting things."
Zheng Tianming pondered for a moment, wondering what she was thinking. Otherwise, how could she have brought up the topic of getting rid of someone and feeling disgusted? Her brain was only so big, and she had used it all up since coming here.
“Then tell her I’m dying.” Zheng Tianming said through gritted teeth.
He just hopes that his elders will notice something is wrong soon, otherwise even if nothing unexpected happens, he will eventually be driven crazy by Xu Mengyu.
He Kai had to make another trip...
I don't know if Zheng Tianming really dislikes women, but he genuinely doesn't anymore...
Xu Mengyu followed He Kai reluctantly. She supported herself with the wooden bucket, glanced into the tent, then put the bucket back up. She huddled against the edge of the tent, motionless, like a mushroom growing next to a tree.
Zheng Tianming stood up, lifted the lid of Xu Mengyu's wooden tub, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
She was the one who ran away. He was so badly injured, and she didn't even look at him. Now she's throwing a tantrum.
Xu Mengyu seemed to have taken a mute potion, remaining motionless and silent...
Shen Yunxi moved closer to Xu Mengyu and said, "I'm sorry, Mengyu, don't be angry." Then she winked at Zheng Tianming and He Kai.
Since Zheng Tianming dislikes her targeting Xu Mengyu, she should try to please her. There are many ways to do this, so she can try different approaches.
"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Xu Mengyu said in a muffled voice.
She apologized first...
He Kai made an "uh" sound.
Zheng Tianming forcefully removed the wooden bucket that Xu Mengyu was holding up: "Don't be unreasonable. This isn't home; nobody's going to put up with you."
Xu Mengyu rested her chin on her knees, her wet hair clung to her cheeks, her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up in her eyes. After being scolded, the tears streamed down her face.
Zheng Tianming was going crazy: "Yes, it was my damn mistake." He shouldn't have come.
"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Xu Mengyu said, her voice trembling with tears. Anyway, no matter how angry Zheng Tianming was, he wouldn't actually slap her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Zheng Tianming pulled her into his arms and slapped Xu Mengyu's upturned bottom: "I'll teach you to be disobedient! What kind of time is this to be so stubborn as a mule!"
He Kai glanced at Shen Yunxi, and both of them froze...
Even though Zheng Tianming usually has a bad temper, I've never seen him actually fight with anyone.
Xu Mengyu was held firmly by Zheng Tianming's strong arms and couldn't break free. Her buttocks burned with pain, and what's worse, he actually hit her in front of Shen Yunxi and He Kai...
After venting his anger over the past few days, Zheng Tianming felt much better.
"From today onwards, wherever I am, you will be. If you dare to leave even half a step, don't blame me for being impolite." Zheng Tianming said as he released Xu Mengyu. She was already soaked in sweat, and he could feel the chill from her when he hugged her.
Xu Mengyu has been her parents' darling since she was a child. She has never been hit by anyone in her life. She has a cousin who, even when he is angry, only punishes her by making her kneel in the corner.
She got hit by her ex-boyfriend!
"I'll die soon, let's see how you treat me then." Xu Mengyu said, wiping away her tears, and looked at Zheng Tianming with a resentful gaze.
She'd had enough. She hadn't done anything to him, so why was he being so fierce and hitting her?
"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! Don't talk nonsense, it's bad luck." He Kai said, pulling the blanket up a bit. "It's still early before dawn, I'm going to sleep outside."
Shen Yunxi took out her clean clothes and handed them to Xu Mengyu: "Sister Mengyu, don't be angry anymore, wipe your tears." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up imperceptibly.
She got beaten up, why didn't you beat her to death?
Zheng Tianming grabbed Xu Mengyu's arm. He wouldn't have spanked her if he wasn't so angry. He hadn't been feeling well these past few days and hadn't had much energy. Not only did she not come to see him, but she also ran off to stay elsewhere. There were wolves, poisonous insects, and snakes around here. One bite from her would be enough to teach her a lesson she would never forget.
They're always causing trouble and making things difficult for you.
"Don't move." Zheng Tianming said, pulling Xu Mengyu into his arms.
Xu Mengyu has been humiliated so much, she might really do something rash. He'll have to keep an eye on her for the next few days...
I owed her from my past life.
Xu Mengyu cried softly, struggling several times to no avail. She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally fell asleep once her body warmed up.
Shen Yunxi couldn't sleep as she watched Zheng Tianming holding Xu Mengyu. She herself had said she wanted to die, so if she really died, would no one suspect anything?
This is a deserted island. The director dumped them here, so if anything happens, they can't blame anyone else.
With Xu Mengyu gone, she'll have one less competitor; the other female celebrities don't have as much popularity or resources as her...
Zheng Tianming held Xu Mengyu in his arms, his hand landing on her buttocks, gently rubbing them. Damn it, people are just like that, heartless and thoughtless, what's there to feel sorry about slapping her a few times?
He thought for a moment. He was here to get revenge on Xu Mengyu, so why should he care about her...
Thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.
Shen Yunxi didn't close her eyes until dawn. She had to wait until Zheng Tianming was gone so she could make use of that idiot He Kai.
