"Stop right there. If you don't have enough resources, what does it have to do with me? If you want to eat, go find it yourself. No more nonsense."
Meng Zhan squinted his eyes, feeling dissatisfied. Ever since he became popular, he had been pampered by everyone. With millions of fans online, it was ridiculous that a complete stranger showed him no respect at all.
In his view, Ruan Fuxi's fortune-telling skills were just as much of a gimmick as his own persona as an adventure expert. He believed there was a lot of fluff surrounding her true abilities. Perhaps her previous fortune-telling sessions were merely staged with the production team.
Meng Zhan stood still, ready to say something more when a hand pushed him aside.
Sheng Yanzhou walked past him without saying a word, leaving only a faint glance behind.
Meng Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he closed his mouth; he had always been one to bully the weak and fear the strong. This person exuded such authority—what kind of background did he have? He decided to find a time to ask the director about it; he didn’t want to provoke someone he shouldn’t.
Turning to Shi Lili, Meng Zhan wore a helpless expression. "Then let's go check by the beach and see if we can find any seafood."
Shi Lili shot him a proud glance. "You can go by yourself; I have food."
She still had plenty of supplies left. As for Meng Zhan speaking up for her, she thought it was because he was attracted by her charm and had developed feelings for her.
Meng Zhan was taken aback by her attitude but quickly smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go and bring you some seafood later."
As he turned away, his expression immediately cooled down. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Lili was wealthy, he wouldn't bother with her at all.
He had just stood up for her, yet she hadn’t even offered him any supplies. Did she think he had nothing? How clueless could she be?
Meng Zhan walked towards the beach, feeling frustrated and cursing under his breath. He needed to find something to eat; otherwise, he would starve sooner or later.
Guest One, Yue Hongjie, and Guest Three, Lin Yunqing, were quietly taking out bread or biscuits from their bags to eat. Meanwhile, on the other side, Ruan Fuxi and her friends had just finished cooking fresh seafood, which looked particularly delicious as steam rose from it.
Han Feier excitedly called out, "Xixi, you can eat now!" She instinctively moved to sit next to Ruan Fuxi but suddenly caught sight of the deep-set eyes of Sheng Yanzhou nearby. Startled, she quickly shifted to the side.
That scared her! She would have to remember that the seat next to Xixi was reserved for Mr. Sheng.
To Ruan Fuxi's left sat Ruan Xun, and to her right was Sheng Yanzhou. Both of them simultaneously picked up a shrimp from the pot and placed it in her bowl.
[Here we go again! Xunxun and Mr. Sheng are competing for her attention!]
[Why don’t I get this kind of luck?]
Ruan Fuxi looked at the two extra shrimps in her bowl, feeling both helpless and amused. She then took one shrimp from the pot and gave it to each of them.
"Eat for yourselves."
The braised small yellow croaker glistened with a rich color, its thick broth exuding a unique freshness. Each clam was slightly open, revealing tender meat that wafted an enticing aroma. The shrimp was firm and bouncy, clearly fresh and sweet.
[So fragrant! Is this really a variety show on a deserted island?]
[This is amazing! A survival adventure turned gourmet food show.]
[Please let me in just to have a taste! The buns in my hands suddenly don’t seem appealing anymore.]
For a moment, it was hard to tell who was truly on a deserted island. Meanwhile, Yue Hongjie and Lin Yunqing sat nearby, inhaling the delicious seafood aroma while glancing at their compressed biscuits and dry bread in silence.
