Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Have You Fallen for That Bitch?
Su Qi stared at her blankly.
It was as if he could see her, standing in front of him, blocking the blow from the drunkard that had beaten him to a pulp.
He squeezed the potato he was holding a little tighter as a warm stream flowed through his heart, "Thank you, Master."
"Why call me Master? It sounds weird, just call me Sister Yan," Shen Yanhe frowned and said.
The usually indifferent Su Qi revealed a faint smile, "Sister God."
He still didn’t call her sister.
Because in his heart, Shen Yanhe was the god who repeatedly pulled him out of the mire and saved him.
Shen Yanhe: "..."
What kind of cringey name is that?
Well, if the kid likes it, let him call me whatever he wants.

By the time Shen Yanhe and Su Qi returned to the campsite, it had already gotten dark.
Song Shiwei, Luo Yao, and Yu Jiao had struggled to set up two tents.
They also collected some firewood from the outskirts of the forest, surrounded it with stones outside the tents, and started a campfire, which looked quite professional.
After finishing all this, Song Shiwei and the two girls were exhausted and collapsed on the beach like dried fish, unwilling to move.
Song Shiwei was slightly better off, as she had endured hunger and performed physical labor when she was in jail, so she could bear the fatigue.
Luo Yao and Yu Jiao couldn’t handle it and lay directly on the sand.
Luo Yao’s lips were dry as she swallowed her saliva while staring at the dark blue sky, "I’m so hungry, so thirsty."
"I’m thirsty too," Yu Jiao murmured with her peeling lips, sounding resentful.
At that moment, Luo Tian and Qi Jingjing from the neighboring group returned from their search for food.
Luo Tian had trapped a wild rabbit with a trap, Qi Jingjing had gathered some wild berries and vegetables, and Qi Zeyi had collected some shellfish from the beach while they were in the forest searching for food; it wasn’t much, but it was barely enough to sustain five people.
Their group had three men, so their need for food was much greater than that of Shen Yanhe’s team.
Qin Manxiang frowned, her face full of disgust looking at the bitter-tasting wild vegetables and wrinkled wild fruits, "You expect me to eat this for dinner?"
Normally at this time, the maid at home would prepare a steak airlifted from France and various sushi seafood from Japan for her.
Those delicious dishes were worthy of her status.
Such stinky and sour food was only something poor people could stomach.
"I won’t eat it," Qin Manxiang knocked away the fruit Qi Jingjing offered her, sounding annoyed, "The fruit I usually eat is freshly picked; eating this kind of fruit is an insult to me."
Yan Qi, having tired himself out all day, was silently nibbling the sour fruit, waiting for the rabbit to cook. Upon hearing her words, he couldn’t help but say, "Having something to eat is already good enough. Why complain about this and that? Look at the others; they are still starving."
"They might even go hungry for a whole day."
Initially, Yan Qi had wanted to please Qin Manxiang.
But Qin Manxiang was too arrogant, having directed him all afternoon to do this and that, while she alternated between complaining of foot pain and headaches, never lifting a finger.
Even with setting up the tent, she didn’t move an inch or even help pass something.
Being pampered by sponsors over the years, Yan Qi couldn’t tolerate being treated like a servant by Qin Manxiang.
Plus, this was a live broadcast, and he couldn’t refuse her commands.
Otherwise, it would ruin his image as a sunny, cheerful young man.
He could hardly restrain himself anymore, and just snapped at Qin Manxiang.
Qin Manxiang glared at him, ignored him, and turned her gaze toward Song Shiwei’s campsite in the distance, which was still quiet, her eyes gleaming with schadenfreude, "Serves them right, the people they sent to find food must have found nothing at all, this is karma."
A sinister gleam flashed through her eyes.
It would be best if Shen Yanhe got lost, then bitten by some poisonous snake on the island and died.
However, no sooner had Qin Manxiang finished speaking.
Shen Yanhe and Su Qi emerged from the jungle carrying a large pile of items.
Su Qi was not only holding potatoes, but he also held two coconuts.
Shen Yanhe also had a coconut tucked under her armpit.
On the way back, she had seen some coconut trees bearing several fruits and spent some time gathering a few, just in case they got thirsty and had no water to drink.
The three people led by Song Shiwei, who had been lounging on the beach like salted fish, had their eyes light up, and they quickly stood up and rushed toward her, "Yanyan! You’re finally back!"
"Wow! So much food!" Luo Yao’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the food in Shen Yanhe and Su Qi’s hands, swallowing her saliva uncontrollably, "Yanhe, Su Qi! You guys are my heroes!"
"Stop the chatter, let’s process the food first." Shen Yanhe’s eyes curved slightly as she handed some of the ingredients to Song Shiwei and her team.
The five of them chattered away as they walked toward the campsite and quickly got busy with their tasks.
Qin Manxiang’s campsite fell into an eerie silence.
Looking at their potatoes, roast chicken, coconut juice, and wild bananas, Yan Qi suddenly felt the wild berries in his hand were even sourer.
The envious expression on Qin Manxiang’s face almost twisted as she clenched her hands into fists, glaring at Luo Tian and Qi Jingjing, "Are you two useless?"
"You call yourselves outdoor survival bloggers, yet the food you find is worse than that of a novice, useless."
Having been scolded despite their hard-earned ingredients, Luo Tian’s face turned particularly ugly, and he didn’t give Qin Manxiang any face, retorting directly, "If you’re so capable, you find tomorrow’s food."
Qi Jingjing’s wild berries were squished into uneven lumps in her hands, and she couldn’t help but say, "Shen Yanhe is really too selfish. They clearly have so much food, they could share some with us."
Yan Qi didn’t speak, but he agreed with Qi Jingjing’s point of view.
They had gathered so much food, and the girls couldn’t eat much with their small stomachs; sharing a little with them wouldn’t have had a big impact on them.
Qi Zeyi, who had been relatively silent, was watching the fire, his tone cold, "Why should they share the food they worked hard to find with you?"
Qi Jingjing dared to confront Shen Yanhe, but she didn’t dare to talk back to Qi Zeyi.
She pursed her lips and took a bitter bite of the fruit in her hand, feeling even hungrier.
Especially since Shen Yanhe had started roasting chicken on the other side. She didn’t know what techniques she used, but the rich aroma was spreading across the campsite, making Qi Jingjing hungrier.
She felt somewhat regretful; had she built a good relationship with Shen Yanhe from the start, maybe she could have gotten a bite to eat.
But now she had already caused a rift with Shen Yanhe, she couldn’t like her at all, nor could she lower her face to ask her, so she just had to endure the hunger.
The others couldn’t help but swallow their saliva either.
Qin Manxiang’s complexion grew uglier, what bothered her was not the aroma of the roast chicken from Shen Yanhe’s side, but that Qi Zeyi was speaking up for Shen Yanhe again.
This was the second time.
Qin Manxiang abruptly stood up, without another word, grabbed Qi Zeyi and walked to the side, "Come with me for a moment."
Qi Zeyi was caught off guard by the pull, frowned slightly, forcefully withdrew his hand, and walked ahead of her with a cold face.
Qin Manxiang gritted her teeth and quickly followed behind him.
The two reached a secluded spot.
Qin Manxiang stared straight at Qi Zeyi and asked bluntly, "Have you fallen for that bitch?"
