Apart from this teacher with glasses, when we looked at Huyijian and their hands, we found out they hadn't done much of the work assigned to them. Damn it, they spent the entire morning outside and brought back only a couple of reeds. I was planning to make a wind-blocking door, and what good is one or two reeds? I'm sure even those one or two reeds were pulled by Qianyi. Huyijian not only did nothing, but he also made Qianyi give him a leg massage and shoulder rub, wasting time and delaying Qianyi from doing actual work.

I was speechless about them, but to keep a good atmosphere in front of the newcomer, I didn't say much to them. I didn't want the new arrival to witness us arguing.

Su Jie and Xiaorong were also avoiding Huyijian now. Nobody wanted to talk to him. Xiaorong was busy chatting with the teacher girl, and Su Jie and I started handling the game.

However, while we were in the middle of our work, glasses girl Li Lin walked over to us. She looked at me with admiration and said, "I heard from Xiaorong that you caught all this game, Magnificent Brother, you're amazing!"

Being praised by a beauty like this, I couldn't help feeling a bit proud. I waved my hand, "It's just a small thing; hunting is my specialty. As long as you follow me, we'll have meat every day on this island."

Li Lin was happy to hear that. She took the tools from me and, in a very considerate manner, said, "Let me do it. Magnificent Brother, you go rest; hunting must be tiring."

I was genuinely pleased. This schoolteacher really was different. Look at how comforting her words were. "Come on, Xiaowei, you're a man; eat a bit more. We're relying on you to survive here, and you've been working hard outside." Su Jie suddenly tore off a grilled chicken leg and handed it to me.

I noticed a faint trace of jealousy on Su Jie's face.

Huyijian, upon seeing this, reached out to grab another chicken leg. However, Su Jie picked up a nearby stick and slapped his fat hand. "What are you doing? Is that for you to eat? You can't hunt, and you can't even pick a few grasses. All you do is talk big. Now, when it's time to eat, your hands move fast? You're just a rice bucket!"

Su Jie was already displeased with him, and now, seeing him try to grab some food, she scolded him right away.

Huyijian, under the gaze of my icy eyes, seemed like he wanted to retort, but eventually, he just shot us a resentful look and sat quietly, sulking on the side.

I faintly heard him muttering, "What the hell? Once the rescue team comes, back on land, I'll make these two look good..."

He referred to me and Su Jie as the two. We ignored him, and Qianyi handed him some meat and soup in a bamboo tube.

Li Lin looked at Huyijian and them, then at us, wearing a thoughtful expression. This smart girl had already figured things out from Su Jie's words. She recalled Huyijian's appearance, stopping every few steps while walking, looking weak. Everything became clear to her.

"Magnificent Brother, this one's for you to eat." Li Lin picked up a piece of rabbit leg and put it into my bamboo tube.

"Your soup is finished; let me refill it for you!" Su Jie said, not willing to be outdone, and poured the soup from a big bamboo tube toward me.

Xiaorong looked at Li Lin and Su Jie, then at me. Her happy little face, which was eating happily a moment ago, suddenly seemed a bit sulky. I didn't know what was up with her, but I didn't bother with her. Soon, we finished this meal.
