Hunting Wilderness: Starting with the Butcher

Chapter 149: Drinking Capacity, Unrequited Love, and a Guest Arrives!

As night fell once more over the deserted island, the wilderness kitchen, with its camping lights hanging up, remained brightly lit. Several carefully prepared and delicious dishes were served one after another, ready for everyone to enjoy.

Braised pork ribs, braised pork belly, pan-fried pig heart, stir-fried pork kidneys, and pork liver and tenderloin soup, paired with sweet potatoes as the staple food—such a sumptuous dinner made even the viewers watching the live stream drool, let alone the crowd who had been waiting for so long!

Sitting at the table, Wu Jing said with a look of regret, "Such a delicious meal, if paired with fine wine, that would be truly enjoyable!"

Hearing this, Yuan Linghan smiled and said, "Brother Jing, there's nothing I can do about fine wine. If you really want to drink it, we can find time to have a proper drink after the show ends."

To Liu Qianfei and the others' surprise, Wu Jing initially nodded but then abruptly shook her head, saying, "Forget it, I'm afraid even the finest wine will be wasted if I drink with you. Hurry up and eat, hurry up and eat!"

Knowing that Wu Jing was a well-known celebrity in the industry for his love of drinking and exceptional alcohol tolerance, Liu Qianfei was curious to see him so readily admitting defeat. She asked directly, "Brother Jing, is the captain's alcohol tolerance really that good?"

When questioned, Wu Jing said with a bitter expression, "Qianfei, his alcohol tolerance can't be described as good. You should ask Brother Yue about this; he should know better."

Wu Yue, who was called out, laughed and cursed, "Get lost! What do you mean I have experience? You talk as if you're not drunk! You're always the one who starts trouble, and you're the one who ends up drunk and confused. I'm just the innocent victim!"

Through these words, Liu Qianfei and her two friends, along with many netizens, learned for the first time that Yuan Linghan had an exceptional alcohol tolerance. In fact, those who had challenged Yuan Linghan to drinking contests and ended up passed out couldn't help but shake their heads and smile wryly at this moment.

Especially Wu Jing's close drinking buddies in the industry, they would immediately run away whenever Yuan Linghan was mentioned!

Fortunately, everyone started to enjoy the food, and just like before, once they started eating, they couldn't stop. Liu Qianfei and the others had all eaten wild boar before and knew that wild boar meat wasn't as delicious as domestic pork.

But the wild boar meat that Yuan Linghan cooked tonight overturned their preconceived notions, and they thought it tasted much better than domestic pork!

Knowing that every piece of braised pork contains a lot of calories, it is a food that every female celebrity who needs to control her figure should avoid.

But at this moment, the three women forgot to control their figures and decided to indulge themselves.

In Jing Tian's words, "We'll talk about losing weight and controlling our figure after we finish this meal!"

Although there seemed to be a lot of food cooked, all the plates were spotless when Liu Qianfei and the others cleaned up the mess. This shows that they did a good job of cherishing food and refusing to waste it.

Dilraba especially admired her, saying, "I really envy the captain. Even though she eats so much every time, she still maintains such a good figure."

Hearing her sentiments, Jing Tian smiled and said, "That's because he expends a lot of energy every day! As for how well he maintains his physique, it's also largely due to his long-term outdoor lifestyle."

"Indeed! Although I've hiked before and occasionally exercise outdoors, it's nothing compared to real wilderness survival. A strong physique is essential for surviving in the real wilderness."

"Some things can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand. Thinking about them is one thing, doing them is another!"

Yuan Linghan, who did not participate in these conversations, sat on the bamboo house terrace with Wu Yue and Wu Jing, enjoying tea. The tea leaves were also picked by Yuan Linghan in the deserted island jungle; although the quantity was not large, it was enough for the six of them to enjoy on a daily basis.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat over tea, Yuan Linghan mentioned that he wouldn't be going into the mountains the next day, but would instead stay at the campsite to prepare for smoking the wild boar meat that was still being marinated. He was genuinely worried that the meat would spoil if it wasn't smoked.

Wu Yue certainly had no objection to this decision. In fact, even if he were asked to go into the mountains tomorrow, he probably wouldn't be able to.

As for Wu Jing, she doesn't need to accompany him into the mountains; staying at the campsite to rest is naturally more pleasant.

Unbeknownst to Yuan Linghan and the others, Son Ye-jin and the others, who were also preparing to rest, were discussing something. Kim Byung-man and Ma Dong-hee were somewhat conflicted about Son Ye-jin's suggestion, while Lim Yoon-a and Lee Ji-eun were very supportive.

Son Ye-jin was also very direct, saying, "PD Kim, Dong-hee, since our two teams live so close by, it wouldn't hurt to visit them and see how they're doing. We can learn from their good experiences."

Given our current situation, we can continue. However, we all know that if we don't change our food shortage situation as soon as possible, we might be forced to quit if we experience several consecutive days of rain.

After joining forces to remove the expulsion captain, Son Ye-jin and the others were very clear that only by persevering to the end could they prove their decision was correct. Their initial decision to remove the captain was based on the belief that keeping him around would actually hinder their challenge.

Kim Byung-man, who understood this as well, ultimately said nothing more. From the moment they joined forces, the five of them were all in the same boat. Only by persevering to the end could they prove their decision was correct.

Unaware of all this, Yuan Linghan woke up the next morning and, as usual, started cooking breakfast for everyone. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw the first person to arrive at the kitchen, just as breakfast was about to be finished.

Upon seeing Yuan Linghan, the newcomer asked with admiration, "Captain, aren't you tired?"

The person asking the question was naturally Liu Qianfei, who was used to waking up early. Actually, she also liked to sleep in, but she knew that only by waking up early could she have more time and opportunities to spend alone with Yuan Linghan.

Even though she knew there were cameras watching in the kitchen, she still enjoyed this undisturbed moment!

Only now did Liu Qianfei truly understand the sentence she had read years ago. She didn't understand it before because she wasn't moved by it!

"Unrequited love is a chaotic battle for one person, and also an unforgettable experience!"

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had fallen in love with Yuan Linghan. But she knew clearly that her heart, which beat joyfully every time she was alone with Yuan Linghan, told her exactly what it felt like to have a crush on someone.

Although she hid her feelings well, Yuan Linghan, who had awakened his innate wisdom, still noticed them. Although Yuan Linghan thought it might be that he was overthinking or being too narcissistic, all the signs indicated that Liu Qianfei looked at him with affection.

"Does the fairy godmother like me?"

Reaching this conclusion was indeed hard for Yuan Linghan to believe. If he were to say it aloud, it would likely invite a wave of ridicule. Fortunately, his mindset had improved significantly, making it easy for him to conceal his thoughts.

Just as the others got up and finished breakfast, and began to help Yuan Linghan prepare the smoked wild boar meat, Yuan Linghan, who was about to put the marinated meat on the smoking rack, suddenly turned his gaze to the mountain road near the camp.

Liu Qianfei, who had been keeping her eyes fixed on him, suddenly asked curiously, "Captain, what's wrong?"

"Someone's coming!"

Upon hearing this, the others also stopped what they were doing. Although they found it unbelievable, they believed Yuan Linghan's words more. Just as everyone was watching, several figures indeed emerged from ahead.

Upon seeing this group of uninvited guests, Liu Qianfei, Jing Tian, ​​and Dilraba instantly realized that they might have met a formidable opponent!
