Chapter 26 – Just Share a Little With Us

At the base camp, Jiang Wanting and Shen Junzai had been waiting for a long time, but there was still no sign of the other two groups returning.

A bad feeling stirred in her heart.

“Could Yue Su and Teacher Yi be busy collecting honey?”

If that were the case, wouldn’t she and Shen Junzai end up at the bottom?

Shen Junzai didn’t care, speaking with disdain, “Teacher Yi is afraid of heights. Do you think Yue Su alone could manage to gather honey? Dream on.”

Jiang Wanting muttered quietly, “That’s not necessarily true. Yue Su trained under Director Wu before. She has some martial arts skills.”

Yue Su’s first official role after entering the entertainment industry was as the third female lead in a xianxia drama, which involved a lot of action scenes.

To play the role well, she had trained hard under Director Wu, who had once been a martial arts instructor.

Later, that xianxia drama exploded in popularity, and surprisingly, Yue Su, the third female lead, became even more popular than the main heroine.

At that time, it was as if she were on a roll — lead roles kept falling into her lap one after another, and her achievements were dazzling.

Jiang Wanting felt both regretful and relieved — regretful that Yue Su’s fame was fleeting, and relieved that it had only been fleeting.

Shen Junzai wasn’t worried at all. He leaned back under the shade of a tree, closed his eyes to rest, facing the sea as if he were on vacation.

“So many years have passed; she’s probably forgotten all that training. Later, just ask President Fu for a little honey, and we can consider the task complete.”

After all, the show didn’t strictly require that the honey had to be personally collected.

Jiang Wanting shot him a glare. “Keep dreaming. I won’t cheat by asking Ajin.”

Shen Junzai teased with a smile, “How is that cheating? It’s just President Fu feeling sorry for his fiancée.”

The words “fiancée” echoed sweetly in Jiang Wanting’s mind, making her heart flutter.

“Exactly because of this identity, I won’t trouble him over something so trivial.”

【So sweet! Over the sweetness limit!】
【Is this Jiang Wanting openly admitting it? She and President Fu are a couple!】
【You can tell she really likes him, she’s full of nothing but him.】

However, everyone could also tell how cold Fu Xijin was toward Jiang Wanting, and many fans in the livestream felt it was unfair to her.

Just as Jiang Wanting was about to get up, she caught sight of Fu Xijin’s figure.

“Ajin!” she called out, beaming as she rushed toward him.

“Why are you alone? Where’s Teacher Yuan?”

Fu Xijin answered flatly, “Don’t know.”

Jiang Wanting didn’t probe further — she wasn’t that concerned about Yuan Jin’s whereabouts anyway.

But seeing Fu Xijin’s empty hands, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

“You didn’t manage to collect any honey either?” she asked, her eyes filled with a sense of loss.

Nao Nao immediately chimed in, “Aunt Jiang, we collected honey! A lot, a lot!”

Jiang Wanting’s eyes lit up in surprise. “Really? Where is it?”

Nao Nao said, “The uncles from the production team will bring it back for us! And lots of mushrooms too. My uncle got hurt, so we came back first.”

Only then did Jiang Wanting notice the swelling on the back of Fu Xijin’s hand. Her expression changed dramatically as she quickly cupped his hand in concern.

“Was it a bee sting? The production team shouldn’t have arranged such dangerous tasks. What should we do now?”

Fu Xijin frowned slightly and pulled his hand back.

“It’s nothing.”

Jiang Wanting, ignoring his coldness, still worried, “It’s already swollen.”

Fu Xijin glanced at her, and in those calm, indifferent phoenix eyes, she caught a flicker of impatience.

“No need for your concern.”

Jiang Wanting lowered her gaze to hide the sting in her heart.

Fortunately, the production team soon arranged for a doctor to check on Fu Xijin.

Jiang Wanting then called Jiang Xin back and gently coaxed her, “Uncle Fu got stung by a wasp. Go over and show him some concern. He’ll definitely be happy.”

Jiang Xin widened her eyes. “Did Uncle gather the honey?”

Jiang Wanting looked displeased. “Is honey more important than your Uncle Fu?”

Jiang Xin shook her head, not agreeing. “Mom, if he didn’t get any honey, then Uncle Fu got hurt for nothing.”

---

Jiang Xin also had a competitive streak — she didn’t want to end up at the bottom.

Jiang Wanting fondly tapped her forehead. “He got it, you little glutton!”

“Yay!” Jiang Xin jumped for joy.

Shen Junzai patted her head and urged, “Go check on your Uncle Fu. Cheer him up a bit, and maybe he’ll give us some honey later.”

Jiang Xin lifted her chin proudly. “Uncle Shen, don’t worry. I’ve got this!”

With her on the case, Fu Xijin wouldn’t refuse.

Just as Jiang Xin left, Yue Su returned.

Jiang Wanting’s eyes immediately sharpened when she noticed Yue Su was empty-handed — finally feeling relieved.

But she didn’t see Yi Xia and couldn’t help asking, “Yue Su, where’s Teacher Yi?”

Yue Su paused slightly, “I don’t know.”

Yao Yao had fallen asleep on her back, and Xiao Ye helped her gently carry the child down.

Before they could even settle the sleeping Yao Yao, Jiang Wanting’s accusatory voice rang out, “How could you leave Teacher Yi behind?”

Yue Su’s expression remained calm. “She’s not alone.”

Wasn’t Yuan Jin still with her?

Jiang Wanting frowned tightly — Chen Xingjun was just a child; how much help could he be?

She shook her head, saying nothing aloud, but her eyes were filled with disapproval.

Yue Su couldn’t be bothered to engage. She carried Yao Yao into the tent.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat exploded:

【Does Jiang Wanting not know that Yue Su and President Fu were teamed up together?】
【It’s super obvious — she practically looked delighted seeing Yue Su return empty-handed.】
【Do you think President Fu will share the honey with Jiang Wanting? That would include Yue Su’s share too.】
【Why would it include Yue Su? President Fu did all the work!】
【Come on, if the black bear hadn’t led the way, would they have even found the honey?】
【Black bear leading the way? What did I miss?】
【If you don’t know, go watch the replay. Our girl Yue Su is seriously heaven’s chosen child.】

At this moment, the production staff had already delivered the honey and mushrooms.

Seeing the large bucket of honeycomb and the heap of mushrooms, Jiang Wanting couldn’t contain her shock.

“So much?”

Even though it wasn’t her own effort, Jiang Wanting still felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

“I didn’t know there were mushrooms in this forest too. What kinds are these? Are they edible?”

Someone next to her reminded, “Those prey items were also hunted by President Fu.”

Just then, Fu Xijin, having treated his injuries, walked over.

Jiang Wanting looked at him with admiration, exclaiming, “Ajin, you’re amazing! Looks like we’re in for a feast tonight.”

Fu Xijin answered calmly, “It wasn’t just me.”

He had teamed up with Yue Su — half of everything belonged to Yue Su.

Jiang Wanting blinked, then looked toward Jiang Xin, affectionately hinting.

“Xin Xin, hurry and butter up your Uncle Fu. Otherwise, we mother and daughter might go hungry tonight.”

Jiang Xin clung to Fu Xijin’s hand and acted cute, “Uncle Fu, just share a little with us, please? If we don’t have honey, we’ll end up at the bottom — and I really hate being last.”

Nao Nao pursed her lips and glared at her. “Didn’t you hear my uncle? These aren’t just his alone.”

Jiang Xin didn’t care, pouting stubbornly.

“If it weren’t for Uncle Fu, they wouldn’t have collected so much! So of course he gets to decide.”

She blinked up at him, “Uncle, you won’t let me and Mommy go hungry, right?”

Fu Xijin patted her head gently and said warmly, “Of course not.”

Nao Nao turned away angrily and gave a heavy humph.
