“Disgusting +1. Seriously, if it weren’t for the film emperor, how many people would be supporting her? Anyway, I don’t like her. She’s a scheming b*tch. “

“After watching this live broadcast, I finally understand why Lu Ting broke up with her. No brain! You think you can just eat any old fruit in a jungle? She could’ve asked her teammates if she wasn’t sure! I think she deserved this, and she also deserves to have to watch her ex-boyfriend act lovey-dovey with another woman!”

“I agree! I would rather have a woman like Lin Yueqi than a conceited one like Li Muruo!”

***

As the discussion about Li Murou’s accident raged on, her popularity dropped once again. More and more people were saying that they didn’t want to see her on screen.

Similar situations had happened in every season of this show, and others like it. In the past, it wasn’t broadcasted, so whenever something like this happened, the screen would switch to the experts, who would proceed to explain the accident in-depth and warn everyone to not do it again.

This time, since it was live, there was no explanation. Therefore, Li Muruo became the “culprit” and a target of the netizens’ disgust. In the barrage, there were noticeably less people supporting her.

Meanwhile, when the film emperor Li Xiujie saw the chef he liked being scolded like this, he wanted to step in and defend her again.

However, after he used his real identity to defend Li Muruo the first time, Li Xing had given him a  “warning.” Li Xiujie couldn’t just ignore it, since after all, Li Xing was his boss.

Therefore, he could only resist the desire to help Li Murou out again and watch on in silence.

In fact, with his current standing, he didn’t need to give anyone face, including his own boss. However, to him, Li Murou was just a chef, an ordinary friend, not his girlfriend. He had no reason to disobey his boss for such an ordinary friend.

However, even after watching the live broadcast, Li Xiujie’s opinion of Li Murou remained unchanged. He still liked the girl.

Her food not only satisfied his stomach but also brought him a sense of belonging that only delicious food could bring him. As someone from the entertainment circle, he could emphasize with the frequent mistakes she made in front of the camera. After all, she was just an ordinary person. It was normal for her to make such mistakes.

The accident with the wild fruit was also understandable considering the environment they were in. It was impossible for anyone to know everything about the vegetation in the jungle. The reason the netizens were reacting so negatively was because they were only looking at it from the moral high ground.

Above all, Li Xiujie believed that Li Muruo shouldn’t be the only one taking responsibility for the accident.

Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi cooked their own meals, but what about the others? They saw Li Muruo picking and cutting the fruit, but none of them knew that it couldn’t be cooked with meat either. Therefore, the food poisoning was a team accident, not an individual accident.

Those were Li Xiujie’s thoughts on it.

Evidently, the roles within the team had been shifted. At first, Li Muruo was the core member, but after food poisoning, it became Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi who became the “leaders.” This would make things very awkward for Li Muruo. The more Li Xiujie Looked at it, the more worried he grew about her situation.

***

After leaving the camp, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting went to the river.

The river water was deep and not as clear as a brook, so they couldn’t see any fish. They also didn’t have fishing tools. After staying by the river for a while, they had no choice but to go back empty-handed.

However, before leaving, Lin Yueqi pulled out some of the wild vegetables that were growing on the bank. It was a plant called fat-hen, and it was nutrient-dense with detoxifying effects.

When they were on their way back to the camp, she suddenly grabbed Lu Ting’s sleeve and asked him to stop. “Look, Old Lu.”

Lu Ting followed her line of sight and saw a snake wrapped around a tree not too far away. Immediately, he felt goosebumps run up his spine and subconsciously wanted to pull Lin Yueqi away.

However, she was full of excitement and even gulped as she said, “I haven’t had snake meat in so long.”

Lu Ting looked at her gulping, and then at the snake.

Miss Lin, are you the devil?
