After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 57: The Filter Shatters

Jiang Xiyu tightly clutched the hem of her clothes: "I, I can’t eat."

Yu Hui: "..."

If I hadn’t seen you turn your head to avoid the camera and secretly swallow just after saying that, I might have actually believed you!

"If you can’t eat, then don’t eat yet. Eat when you can."

Yu Hui wrapped up the rabbit leg meat and set it aside, feeling inexplicably complicated and a bit tired, even if he wouldn’t admit it to himself.

Before seeing Jiang Xiyu in person, the Goddess in his heart was like the moon in the sky, flawless from head to toe. He still remembered his excitement and nervousness when he saw her up close two days ago.

But now, just two days later, he felt many emotions he had never experienced before.

Feeling tired was just one of them, along with exhaustion and helplessness.

Thinking back to before he entered the entertainment industry, he was the young master of the Yu Family. When out with friends, they all fawned over him; even his mother had never carried him on her back!

Here in the jungle, he had been looking after the obviously uncomfortable Jiang Xiyu, carrying her along pathways, finding food, and looking for campsites. From entering the jungle until now, except for necessary rest at night, he hadn’t had a break.

Yet because of Jiang Xiyu’s misplaced kindness, he had a hard time getting even this bit of meat.

Listening to the pattering rain outside, Yu Hui lowered his eyes, silently staring at the flames before him, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace and clarity.

Suddenly, he glanced up, only to catch Jiang Xiyu’s gaze fixed on the rabbit leg meat, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

At this moment, Jiang Xiyu was plain-faced; even her complexion was darkened by the smoke from the fire, and her hair was wet, hanging down like soaked noodles. Her superstar image was completely gone.

It seemed like without the goddess filter, she was no different from an ordinary person.

In fact, thinking back, she was quite useless.

Jiang Xiyu found this sudden laugh strange, flicking her hair as she tried to break the oddly quiet atmosphere, and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Yu Hui shook his head, "It’s nothing."

Just that the self who was once madly obsessed with the person in front of him now seemed a bit ridiculous.

"Grumble!"

The sound of a stomach growling became even clearer in the quiet atmosphere.

Yu Hui picked up the rabbit leg meat, "Eat it. If you don’t, I’m going to eat it."

Jiang Xiyu clutched her growling stomach, about to refuse again when she saw Yu Hui unwrapping the leaves and ready to eat it himself. She couldn’t help but silently curse, couldn’t he just secretly give it to her when the camera was pointing elsewhere?

There’s only this piece of meat left; if she didn’t get to eat it now, during this rainy day when finding food was impossible, she’d have to stay hungry.

Just imagining it was torturous and terrifying!

"Um..."

Yu Hui paused as he was about to put the meat in his mouth.

"Um," Jiang Xiyu bit her lip, "I thought about it and I think you’re right. Since the little rabbit is already dead, it can’t come back to life. Helping us stave off hunger after death is also good. I was too sad and persistent before."

Yu Hui watched Jiang Xiyu eagerly bite into the rabbit leg meat, feeling a sense of unprecedented calm.

However, the comments section of the livestream had exploded by now.

Many people watched with patience to see if Jiang Xiyu could uphold her kindness from start to finish.

Some believed she would stick to not eating, while others thought she wouldn’t withstand the hunger.

But no one expected her to say what she did before eating the meat.

"What nonsense about not bringing the dead back to life, is she trying to comfort herself?"

"Just trying to save face for what she said before. Feels a bit pretentious, I’m leaving."

"The caring for animals was an act, right? At least if my pet died, I wouldn’t eat it even if I was starving!"

"At least pretend to be sad while eating!"

Watching the livestream audience quickly drop off as Jiang Xiyu started eating, Jiang Yuting couldn’t hold back and threw away the cola can in her hand.

"I shouldn’t have agreed to let you join this program!"

What the hell, using this program to overshadow Jiang Lingxi and gain followers, maybe even ruin Jiang Lingxi a bit while we’re at it.

So far, she only saw that the atmosphere in Jiang Lingxi’s livestream was much better, and the trending topic about archery was still hot.

Forget gaining fans, she’d be thankful if the numbers didn’t drop with such a performance!

Finally, Jiang Xiyu, who had filled her stomach, couldn’t see the live comments at the moment, nor could she hear her cousin and agent’s mutterings.

Just barely satisfying her hunger with a rabbit leg, she hadn’t had time to breathe a sigh of relief when the outside photographer chimed in: "The rain has stopped."

The bone she held, ready to throw into the fire, paused mid-air.

Yu Hui stood up and skillfully extinguished the fire, "We are lagging behind; since the rain has stopped, let’s continue our journey."

Jiang Xiyu wanted to wait a bit, the rain just stopped, and there was sure to be mud everywhere outside, especially on the ground. Too dirty.

But when she met Yu Hui’s gaze, the words she wanted to say suddenly got stuck, and what came out was, "Okay."

She felt like something about this young, wealthy fan seemed different!

While the two were hurrying to catch up with the other teams, Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan were fishing.

They also set off as soon as the rain stopped, only to encounter a river along the way.

Compared to the nearly five-meter-wide river before them, the water sources they encountered earlier were at most little streams.

Due to the recent rain, the river had surged, with the water level less than ten centimeters from the riverbank.

Jiang Lingxi was looking for the fastest way to cross when Jiang Kaiyuan pointed at the river and shouted, "There are fish in this river!"

Thinking about the next meal, they weren’t in a hurry to cross and took out the unused fishing hook and line to fish.

However, there was only one fishing hook, and Jiang Lingxi didn’t want to just wait, so she had Jiang Kaiyuan divide the fishing line into two. She took one part.

Jiang Kaiyuan did as he was told, still puzzled, "With just a line, it’s useless, Xixi, are you planning to fish like Jiang Taigong?"

"I have my uses, you just fish."

Jiang Kaiyuan scratched his nose and tossed his fishing hook into the water, glancing at Jiang Lingxi during the wait. He saw her tying one end of her line to the end of an arrow and the other end to her wrist.

His eyes widened in astonishment, "Arrow fishing?"
