Chapter 44 How could you eat them?
Lu Yining hadn't even finished speaking when Lu Yanke, who had only heard half of it, couldn't take it anymore. She looked at Lu Yining in disbelief, her voice suddenly rising: "What did you say? You ate a whole fish last night?"
“Yeah.” Lu Yining patted her belly. “I’m still full.”
I suspect Lu Yining is showing off.
You can actually remove the word "suspicion." There's no need to doubt; she's just showing off. I really want to yell at her, but... but... what she said is all true!
At this very moment, one of the guests' hearts quietly broke...
Is Lu Yan about to break down? She seems about to lose her composure; her smile is almost gone.
[Who could hold back in this situation? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to either. Think about it, you only ate a few wild fruits yesterday, and you even went to bed hungry. You assumed everyone else was like you, but then you woke up to find out that someone actually ate fish! Compared to wild fruits, fish is a feast! You ate wild fruits, while others had a feast. Just thinking about it makes you feel resentful.]
"Sister, you're really capable, but you can't eat alone. We're all on a deserted island right now. It's fine if I'm alone, but the director said that the crew members have to help each other. While you're eating fish, remember to share some with the crew members."
Before Lu Yining could even speak, Wei Siqi was already smiling brightly: "No need for that. We can each have a fish, so everyone will have something to eat. Besides... and if we're really talking about it, I've eaten the most in the group."
As the conversation progressed, Wei Siqi became somewhat embarrassed, and his voice grew weaker and weaker towards the end compared to his initial excitement.
This time, even the last bit of smile on Lu Yan's face crumbled, and she could no longer hold on. Her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms, but she seemed oblivious to the pain, still holding on tightly, refusing to let go.
If she'd known they were eating so well, she should have been in the same group as those men yesterday. That way, she wouldn't have had to eat only a few wild fruits to sleep last night. God knows how she slept last night; her stomach was rumbling non-stop…
Ye Muyu and Xu Dingsheng, those two grown men, are like good-for-nothings! They have no skills whatsoever! All they can do is pick wild fruits; they can't even catch a fish...
"That concludes today's assembly. We're dismissed now. Take your supplies and you can then split into groups for free time," Director Liu said.
"Alright!" Lu Yining saluted in the direction of Director Liu, then looked at her team members with bright eyes: "Let's go hunting next, see if we can run into any small animals or something, and have some wild game."
"Let's go, let's go!" Lu Yunjie waved his hand and couldn't wait to speak.
For some reason, he had a feeling that if he followed his fifth sister, they would be able to eat some wild game that they couldn't usually get their hands on. Although he didn't know where this premonition came from, it was so strong that he couldn't ignore it.
Lu Yanke had already turned around and was about to leave with her group members when she heard Lu Yining's words. She frowned, her eyes showing a hint of reluctance and disapproval.
"The animals are all so cute, how can you eat them just to fill your stomachs?"
Uh... Lu Yining was speechless for a moment.
"You don't usually eat all vegetarian food. I remember the day you first returned to the Lu family, you ate chicken, duck, goose, pork, pigeon meat and all that. Why are you pretending now?"
[A pure lotus is a pure lotus. Going too far with your teasing, tch, stop pretending! If you're so capable, just eat vegetarian food and never touch meat!]
After saying this, Lu Yining didn't give Lu Yan a chance to refute, and called her teammates to leave.
Ah...Coco is so kind! There aren't many kind girls like her these days! Coco, I'll always support you!
[666, this is kindness? Then you shouldn't eat meat either...]
I'm thinking of unfollowing her. Just these past two days, I feel like Lu Yanke is really... not a good person. The filter I put on her before has crumbled without me even realizing it! I remember Lu Yanke used to eat meat!
In a photo she posted before, the caption was something about a lavish feast, and the picture showed all kinds of meat! It's not like she's never eaten meat before, and now she's saying all this… When I saw her eating meat, I had absolutely no idea how pitiful the animals being grilled, boiled, and stir-fried in her bowl were!
[If you're unfollowing me, just unfollow me! Why post this? Are you trying to get more attention?]
I'm unfollowing this fan. Goodbye! I can't stand someone acting like this...
Lu Yan stared at Lu Yining's back for a long time, then lowered her eyes, a shadow of gloom flashing in them.
Ye Muyu felt sorry for Lu Yanke when he saw her standing there motionless with her head down, looking rather forlorn.
He walked over and said, "It's alright. She can only talk big. What kind of animals could there be on this deserted island? Even if there are, they're probably just poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts. Do you think she'd dare to go for it?"
"Yeah, that woman only gets ahead because there are more men in the group. If it were just her alone, what do you think she could accomplish..."
Xu Dingsheng walked over to Lu Yanke and said, "Keke, don't be sad. Let's go back first. We'll go see if there are any fish. If there are, we'll catch a few for you to eat."
Seeing that the two men were surrounding her and coaxing her, Lu Yanke finally stopped crying and smiled, softly saying "Mmm".
[I don't want to say this, but... but... the reason why Buddha's group was able to eat fish last night wasn't because of those men, but because Lu Yining caught it himself with his own skills...]
[I find Xu Dingsheng's words a bit strange. What does he mean by "just because there are more men in the group"? Does that mean women can't achieve anything? He seems a bit chauvinistic and looks down on women...]
I thought I was the only one who felt uncomfortable with what he said, that it sounded strange, but it turns out... I'm not the only one who feels this way... So it seems that what Xu Dingsheng said really is problematic.
……
"Ningning." Lu Yunjie stared at a certain spot, his body suddenly stiffening, his voice trembling slightly: "What...what is that? Is it a person?"
Upon hearing this, the four members of the group all followed Lu Yunjie's gaze and looked toward the corner he was looking at.
More than 900 meters away, there was a person who looked to be about 1.8 meters tall. His skin was dark, and even in broad daylight, you could clearly see that the skin on his wrists was so dark that it was almost as dark as that of an African.
The "person" seemed not to have seen them yet. At this moment, he bent down, supported himself with both hands and both legs, and walked back and forth step by step. Even walking in this posture, he did not exert any effort at all.
