"Tonight, we have a delicacy!" Back in the cave, I opened the backpack to showcase my harvest. Upon seeing it, the expressions of several girls changed.
"What's this? It's disgusting! Wei Ge, do we really have to eat this?" Unexpectedly, the one with the strongest aversion was not Xu Xiaorong but Black Spice Girl. Her originally tan and attractive face turned pale.
On the contrary, Xu Xiaorong's reaction surprised me. She looked disdainfully at Black Spice Girl and said, "This thing is high in protein. My family's chef used to make insect banquets, and they tasted good."
I almost forgot; Xu Xiaorong was from a wealthy family. There wasn't much strange food she hadn't tried.
"Xiao Wei Ge, can we really eat this?" Li Lin also looked at me in disbelief.
I chuckled, "Don't worry, tonight you'll be swallowing them down like fingers!"
Despite the assurances from Xu Xiaorong and me, Black Spice Girl still had a terrified expression. This woman might be fierce, but when it came to quarreling in the cave, the other girls couldn't match her.
At this moment, Black Spice Girl looked pale, while Xu Xiaorong appeared very pleased. She walked over to my side with a charming smile, saying, "Little Wei, let me help too. Unlike certain people, I'm not a coward!" With that, she gave Black Spice Girl a triumphant look, her arrogant demeanor making me can't help but chuckle.
I don't know why, but seeing Xu Xiaorong's radiant smile, I couldn't resist teasing her a bit. So I said, alright, you can help me. Then I asked the other girls to join in; Li Lin to boil water, Black Spice Girl and Su Jie to wash the vegetables. As for Xu Xiaorong and me, we crouched down, holding her little hand in front of the basket of woodworms.

Those worms were wriggling inside, looking quite disgusting.
"Let's cut off their heads first," I said, grabbing a worm and decapitating it in front of Xu Xiaorong, causing a drop of juice to splash out.
Although Xu Xiaorong had eaten insect banquets before, there was still a big difference between live insects and those cooked. My somewhat intense action startled her, and she froze, "I..."
She wanted to say something, but I didn't give her a chance, clearing my throat, "Miss Xu, not afraid of these little bugs, are you?"
"Who's afraid?! Just pinching their heads, right? This miss can display her skills in minutes and show you how capable I am!" Xu Xiaorong instinctively countered me, but regretted it right after.
I chuckled, grabbed a woodworm, and stuffed it into her hand. Unexpectantly, Xu Xiaorong was startled by my move. Feeling the wriggling worm in her hand, she shivered and threw the worm away, then sat on the ground crying, tears falling like pearls.
Seeing her cry, I couldn't help but feel helpless. Miss, who just said she would show me how capable she was, was actually frightened to tears in the blink of an eye! However, Xu Xiaorong, the goddess-level girl, had a surprisingly pleasant cry. Seeing her cry so sadly, I suddenly regretted it. Was teasing her too much?
At this point, the others, witnessing Xu Xiaorong being brought to tears by me, glared at me discontentedly. Su Jie even came over to hug little Rong, her eyes containing a hint of coldness. Seeing Su Jie comforting her, Xu Xiaorong buried her head between Su Jie's twin peaks, making me envious.
"Uh, Xiaorong, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Don't cry, okay?" Under the gaze of all the women, I knew that apologizing was necessary.
Hearing my words, Xu Xiaorong's crying lessened a bit, but Miss was obviously not satisfied. She snorted, "Who is your little sister? Shameless! Call me sister!"
Alright, you still want to be called sister. Is that not okay? "Sister Xu, I was wrong. Please forgive me," I apologized helplessly.
"Little Wei, since you sincerely apologized, this sister will forgive you today." Xu Xiaorong said unkindly, raising her head with tear streaks, like a proud peacock, and ran to help Li Lin boil water.
