Xia Xin pulled out some disinfectant and bandages from her bag, treating Jing Mo’s wound with meticulous care. “There you go,” she said.

“Thank you,” Jing MO responded.

Then, with a frosty gaze, Xia Xin turned to Lu Shi. “If you don’t want to help, that’s one thing. But creating more problems? That, I just can’t understand.”

Lu Shi had initially felt a twinge of guilt; he hadn’t intended for Jing MO to get hurt when he took the knife. Just as he was about to apologize, Xia Xin’s words ignited a fire within him.

“It’s you people who are ostracizing me! I told y’all I was going to take a shower and help out afterward. You didn’t want to wait for me, that’s fine. But why are you sidelining me now?” Lu Shi exclaimed.

“When did we ever sideline you?” Jing MO retorted.

“You’ve been sidelining me from the get-go. If you don’t like this lady, then just send her away. Why push me away? I’m not responsible for her actions,” Lu Shi insisted.

Lu Shi thought everyone was treating him poorly because of Tian Mei as if it was his fault.

Xu Zhi frowned, visibly disliking Lu Shi’s nitpicky demeanor. “Weren’t my words clear enough? We need to complete tasks, earn points, and have breakfast. By the time you’re done showering, everything here will be almost ready. Waiting for you would be a waste of time.”

“And another thing,” Xu Zhi added, “You told us to wait for you to help, but what could you do with your empty hands? Use them to carry water back?” “But you had a bucket, right?” Lu Shi questioned.

“That bucket? Xia Xin lent it to me and Zhou Lian. Jing MO has his own. We work as a team to accomplish our tasks. So, are we supposed to be helping you, or are you helping us?”

“Weren’t y’all combining efforts to find food?” Lu Shi was perplexed.

“Yes, and we’ve brought it back,” Xu Zhi gestured towards the pile of gathered food: wild fruits, common mushrooms, and even rabbit meat.

Lu Shi wondered, astounded at how Xu Zhi could go hunting in this day and age.

Before Lu Shi could speak again, Jing MO interrupted, “We don’t have time for chit-chat. If you want to help, then do something useful. If you want to share the meal, bring back some food supplies. Rice, oil, and salt are on us. As for firewood, you’ll need to find it yourself.”

“You people…” Angered, Lu Shi recalled the audience’s comments about Jing MO and Xu Zhi not getting along. He felt his bad luck had rolled over onto him due to their discord.

He sighed resignedly. “I’m sorry. I understand I’m not in sync with your pace. Starting tomorrow, I’ll adapt. Today was my mistake. I shouldn’t have expected you all to match my timing.”

Lu Shi’s straightforward apology left the group stunned. They’d pegged him as someone petty, pretending to be carefree. His sudden contrition was unexpected.

“Jing MO, don’t go near the water today. I’ll clean your wound and apply some medicine tonight. Let it air overnight, and you should be fine tomorrow,” Xia Xin advised Jing Mo.

“I’ll be okay. It’s just a minor wound,” Jing MO assured her.

“Even minor wounds can get infected if not properly cared for,” Xia Xin cautioned.

“Alright, I know. Help me prepare the meal later?” Jing MO asked.

Lu Shi, witnessing the interactions between Jing MO and Xia Xin, seethed with irritation. ‘After clashing with me, she was now cozying up to another man. How infuriating! Once I had her, I’d make sure she’d beg me for more—in every way.’

Taking a deep breath, Lu Shi finished his task and handed the items to Xia Xin. “Today was my mistake for not pitching in earlier. I promise to make up for it tomorrow.”

Xia Xin took what he offered, remaining silent as she and Jing MO continued preparing the meal.

Once the food was ready, Lu Shi moved to join them but hesitated. The food and utensils were set for four people. He thought to himself, ‘Had they intentionally excluded me? I apologized and even promised to do better tomorrow, yet they still shut me out. The audacity!’

Furious, Lu Shi felt like he was about to explode..
