After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 56 To Eat or Not to Eat

Only after entering did they realize the cave was exceptionally small; with four people inside, turning around was even quite difficult.

The cameraman, for a moment, couldn’t care less about the still black camera lenses and immediately found a raincoat from the backpack, leaving one camera inside the cave and another at the cave entrance before going out.

The space inside the cave became a bit more spacious. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Jiang Kaiyuan squatted down and touched the dwindling firewood thrown aside while running, "It’s still wet."

Jiang Lingxi patted the water droplets on her clothes, looking at his troubled expression, "Fortunately, we hid quickly. The firewood is only wet on the surface; it can still burn."

Just that later, the smoke might be a bit heavy.

But in this wet, rainy weather, there wasn’t much concern about it.

They took twice as long as usual to light the fire; the two squatted by the campfire to warm up, and their expressions visibly eased up.

Outside, the wind and rain continued, and having such a warm fire was indeed a great blessing.

The livestream audience, seeing their states improve from initial distress, finally relaxed and switched to watching other contestants’ streams.

It was unlikely that only this spot in the jungle was raining; they were curious how the other groups were coping, wondering if anyone else had it worse.

After a round of watching, it was no surprise that Xu Ai and Zhou Yi were the most comfortable.

With a rain-proof tent and having foreseen the rain, when audiences switched to their livestream, they found the couple playing a pebble-throwing game inside the tent, unfazed by the wind and rain outside.

The second most comfortable was Lin Jing’s livestream. Although he didn’t have a tent, he had a waterproof sheet.

Set up on relatively high ground, while he couldn’t avoid the wind sweeping in from all directions, at least he wasn’t getting soaked by the rain.

Xu Zhao, sensing the rain, decisively used nearby readily available wild grass and leaves to weave a simple raincoat. Although he failed to find a shelter once the rain started, standing beneath a tree with dense foliage, he managed to shield himself from most of the moisture.

However, when the audience first entered the livestream, they saw a large, moving green lump, only realizing after a start that it was the contestant.

The most surprising, however, was Yu Hui and Jiang Xiyu’s livestream, which until then had lagged at the bottom; at this point, the number of viewers watching surpassed the other four streams.

Back to fifteen minutes earlier.

Yu Hui was startled awake by raindrops falling on his face.

Their team had one sleeping bag, naturally given to Jiang Xiyu.

Sitting up in confusion for a second, not bothering to blame the photographer nearby for not alerting him, Yu Hui quickly got up to wake Jiang Xiyu, who was tightly wrapped and sleeping soundly.

"Wake up, it’s raining!"

After they hurriedly gathered the gear from the temporary camp, preparing to find shelter, Jiang Xiyu remembered her little rabbit.

"Wait, I want to bring the little rabbit with us."

Yu Hui took a deep breath and followed behind Jiang Xiyu, using his hand to shield her from the rain.

The makeshift rabbit den was silent, and Yu Hui thought the rabbit might have escaped quietly last night, until Jiang Xiyu pulled out the already stiff rabbit corpse from the corner.

The icy, rigid sensation in her palm left Jiang Xiyu stunned for two seconds before she shrieked and flung it outside, "The, the rabbit is dead!"

Seeing her instantly pale face, Yu Hui paid no heed to the rabbit tossed back to the ground and quickly comforted her, "Newborn rabbits are like this, very fragile, easy to die. Even if I hadn’t picked it up yesterday, it wouldn’t have survived the night."

But Jiang Xiyu was still immersed in shock and sadness, seemingly ignoring the comfort and remained standing motionless.

As the rain got heavier, Yu Hui said, "...We need to find shelter quickly."

He couldn’t understand; the focus shouldn’t be on the dead rabbit, they needed to find shelter quickly to prevent catching a cold!

For the first time in his life, Yu Hui’s affection for Jiang Xiyu was mixed with a tinge of impatience that even he hadn’t noticed.

"But the rabbit..."

"Since it’s already dead, rather than just leaving it, why not take it along. Although it’s not big, it’s enough for us to have a meal."

Jiang Xiyu looked at Yu Hui incredulously, "You want to eat it too?"

"I just think it’s a pity to waste it." Yu Hui squatted down to pick up the rabbit, and his fingers just happened to touch the rabbit’s belly, pausing momentarily.

He initially thought the rabbit was too weak and that’s why it died, turns out it wasn’t!

Recalling yesterday when Jiang Xiyu enthusiastically fed the rabbit for quite a while, he had turned a blind eye at the time and hadn’t noticed; the young rabbit, not knowing its fullness, had been fed to death.

Holding the rabbit, Yu Hui stood up, silently giving Jiang Xiyu a glance.

Hesitating, he decided not to reveal the truth.

Although he kept silent, many viewers in the livestream had already guessed the reason after seeing the rabbit’s body and that brief anomaly from Yu Hui.

"Hahaha, let me make a bold guess, could it be Jiang Xiyu overfed the rabbit to death?"

"As a med student, judging by the rabbit’s obviously bloated belly, the cause of death is being overfed, pretty close!"

"After learning the rabbit’s true cause of death, I can no longer look at Jiang Xiyu’s pained look the same."

"Yu Hui seemed to realize it, but didn’t say it, giving Jiang Xiyu some face."

"I think Jiang Xiyu’s just being pretentious. I can understand not wanting to kill a live animal, but it’s already dead, just eat it, what’s there to be squeamish about. Don’t tell me you’ve been vegetarian your whole life!"

This comment soon drew a swarm of attacks from Jiang Xiyu’s fans in the livestream, but as the curious casual viewers hoping to see if Jiang Xiyu would eventually eat the rabbit meat grew, her fans seemed overwhelmed.

Jiang Yuting, initially thrilled by the rapidly increasing and lingering viewership in Jiang Xiyu’s livestream, cracked open a can of soda, but her mood plummeted after seeing the chaotic comments.

"Is she addicted to portraying the kind-hearted fairy persona? Doesn’t she see what the situation is now?! When it comes time to eat, you better not eat a bite!"

If she couldn’t resist the temptation and ate, the persona built up successfully before would fall apart.

Because of the rabbit, disagreements arose, and only when the rain got heavier did they start looking for shelter.

By the time they found shelter, they were almost completely soaked.

Exhausted, hungry, and uncomfortably sticky from the wet.

Yu Hui, enduring fatigue, found some dry grass and finally got the fire going, asking Jiang Xiyu to warm up first while he took the rabbit a bit farther away.

After returning, he silently roasted the processed rabbit meat over the fire.

Jiang Xiyu pressed her lips, ultimately saying nothing.

As the meat gradually cooked, even without seasoning, the aroma uncontrollably wafted up to their noses.

Yu Hui tore off a piece, confirmed it was cooked, took it down, blew on it, and ate. As he ate, he heard the goddess sitting opposite swallow hard.

He deliberately tore off the remaining rabbit leg and handed it over, "Want to eat?"

The livestream audience finally awaited this moment, their eyes fixated on the tender roasted rabbit leg.

They just wanted to know, kind-hearted fairy, could you really bear to eat this meat?
