Melissa tried her best to ignore the fragrance that kept invading her. She forced herself to turn her head away from the four people who were wolfing down the food, but in the end, she kept secreting saliva.
Sharonâs hearing was better to begin with, and coupled with the fact that Melissaâs gulping sound was getting louder and louder, she felt helpless. She really didnât understand why she had to endure it for the sake of her so-called face. She was the one who felt uncomfortable.
Sharon put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and turned to Melissa. âDo you want to come over and eat some with us?â She couldnât ignore Melissaâs occasional expectant gaze.
âAlright!â Melissaâs eyes instantly lit up, and her voice was filled with excitement. However, in the next second, she thought of something and immediately raised her head arrogantly. âSince you asked me to eat it, Iâll reluctantly take a few bites. Let me make it clear first that Iâm giving you face.
Itâs not that I myself want to eat it.â
As she spoke, she walked towards the four of them with small steps. It was as if she was not here to eat, but to take a walk. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât force yourself. Itâs fine if you donât give us face,â Melinda said with a look of disdain as she swallowed the snake meat in her mouth.
As for Melissa, it was as if she did not hear her. She continued walking over, but her steps were much faster than before.
Sharon moved closer to Melinda and gave Melissa a seat. Melissa sat down indifferently, picked up a clean chopstick made of bamboo strips, picked up a mouthful of snake meat, and put it into her mouth. She swallowed it after chewing a few times.
âThis meat is too fishy, and it doesnât taste at all. If it werenât for you, I really wouldnât want to eat a single bite. Itâs too unfair to my stomach.â After eating a
few more pieces of meat, Melissa picked up the soup Sharon had scooped for her and took a sip. âThis soup too. Why does it have an inexplicable taste?â
âMiss, if you donât like it, donât eat it. Do we have to prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you under such conditions?â Melindaâs face was scrunched up, and her appetite became much smaller thanks to her.
âIf you think it doesnât taste good, give it to me. It just so happens that the few of us donât have enough to eat.â Sharonâs expression didnât change as she reached out to take the soup bowl in Melissaâs hand.
Melissa subconsciously avoided it. âIâm just giving my opinion. After all, you worked hard to make it. Wouldnât it be a waste of your kindness if you donât finish it?â
Sharon didnât forcefully snatch it. She was just scaring her. Although Melissa had only interacted with her for a few days, she knew that she was just a spoiled person who wanted to save her own face, causing herself to suffer.
Furthermore, they were in this wilderness together. They could not let this girl starve to death. The program was live-streamed. Melissa did not care about the impact, but she was not stupid enough to not care about her reputation just to say a few words.
âTsk, you donât do anything and are still picky. Itâs only because Sharon is kind. Otherwise, you would starve to death.â Melinda didnât get along with Melissa to begin with. As long as there was a chance to say a few words, she wouldnât miss it.
âMelissa, Melinda is right. Weâre a team. You canât always make us work. Rest on your own.â Danâs words were tactful, but there was a hint of criticism in his tone.
âThatâs right. Since you came to Man vs. Wild, you should be mentally prepared. You canât stay in the camp all day because youâre afraid. Itâs fine if you can do something in the camp, but you didnât do anything. If this continues, we wonât agree if Sharon wants to give you something to eat tomorrow,â Shane, who had been silent, said.
Everyone knew that Man vs. Wild lacked resources. It was unfair that Melissa had to share their resources and food without doing anything. It was fine if it happened once or twice, but no one would be willing if it happened too often.
Sharon saw Melissaâs flushed face under the light of the fire. Then, Shane said, âToday is the first day. Iâll give you food. After that, youâll have to split it according to your work. If youâre still like this tomorrow, think of a way to find something to eat.â
The subsequent missions would only become more and more difficult. Everyone needed to be united. She could be kind occasionally, but she could not be a philanthropist with no bottom line.
Melissaâs face turned redder and redder. She slammed the coconut shell on the table and shouted at everyone, âI just ate a little of your food. Is there a need to be like this? If you donât want to give it to me, then donât. Why do you have to talk to me after giving it to me? Iâm not eating anymore!â
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. However, her stomach suddenly rumbled. Melissa froze on the spot, in a dilemma..
