Even After My Death-Chapter 101 - 87: Scolding Jiang Ning

Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan’s night on the desolate island was an understatement to describe as suffering.

They had been asleep for most of the night when suddenly a heavy rain fell. The tide rose, and the tents were inundated, forcing everyone to spend the night in the forest.

Having barely made it to dawn, the group supported each other as they emerged from the forest, expecting the crew to have come for them by now. But not only had the crew not arrived, there wasn’t even a glimpse of the yacht!

They stood there, exchanging pitiful glances for a long while before finally remembering Jiang Ning and Nong Chun, who had been separated from the group since yesterday afternoon.

"Jiang Ning said it would rain yesterday, and then it really did."

"Let’s go check on Jiang Ning and Nong Chun. Anyway, the crew hasn’t arrived yet."

...

"I see their tents!"

"Right up ahead!"

Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan, supporting a panting Huo Miao, were at the front of the group, followed by Yuan Wei and Lin Qi, as well as Best Actor Ling and Jian Tiantian.

Jiang Ning and Nong Chun were sitting by a small pot, having breakfast. Both were hungry, and the fresh ingredients made the food delicious. They had quickly polished off two-thirds of a pot full of seafood.

As soon as they heard the voices of Huo Ziheng’s group, Jiang Ning lowered her head to take the last bite of her naan without sparing them a side glance, let alone lifting her head.

On the contrary, Nong Chun, sitting opposite her, looked up at the noise, his expression changing to one of shock, "Ah? What happened to you guys...?"

It had only been a short night, yet how come these people... were all dirtied up, with wet hair, especially Huo Miao and Jian Tiantian, looking like wild people roaming the mountains with their hair all disheveled.

"There was a downpour last night, and the tide rose. Our tents got flooded, so we ran to the forest to take shelter for the night," Mu Mingxuan replied, looking a bit unwell. His gaze landed on Nong Chun and Jiang Ning, "How are you guys unscathed?"

"Ah, we... maybe it was because of where we pitched our tent?" Nong Chun looked at Jiang Ning with some relief, then explained to the group, "The spot where we set up our tent was chosen by Jiang Ning. It’s perfectly on a slope, and the terrain on both sides slopes down slightly, so when the rain falls, it immediately flows down along the mud on each side and doesn’t accumulate."

"Wow! You even managed to make breakfast!" Jian Tiantian hopped forward, not minding her disheveled appearance anymore, as she had not eaten well the night before and had spent a cold, hungry night—it was life or death for her if she didn’t get some food soon!

Jian Tiantian gazed at Nong Chun with pleading eyes, "May I have some of the seafood from the pot?"

"I’m full! Most of the seafood was picked by Jiang Ning, so you ask her!" Overwhelmed by Jian Tiantian’s sparkling big eyes, the socially anxious Nong Chun quickly responded to divert her attention.

Jian Tiantian immediately turned to Jiang Ning, bringing her hands together in a pleading gesture and her big, beautiful eyes hopeful.

Jiang Ning was also full, and the small pot had only a few conches and two or three crabs left. She passed the small pot to Jian Tiantian, "If you don’t mind."

Jian Tiantian responded instantly, "I don’t mind at all!" How could she mind? This was her first hot meal of the day!

While replying, Jian Tiantian carefully took the small pot as if she was holding a treasure.

[Hahaha, Jian Tiantian is going to kill me with laughter. Look at her, treasuring it as if it were a precious gem. When she endorsed jewelry worth tens of millions, she never looked this fond of it.]

[Yesterday she was a well-made-up female celebrity, and today she’s become a beggar on a desolate island...]

[Haha, over a million people are watching Jian Tiantian beg for food online. This phrase might hit the trending searches soon.]

[After Jian Tiantian finishes recording this show, she is definitely going to block the crew.]

Jian Tiantian still didn’t know that her recent act of begging for food had become an indelible black mark on the internet, and it wouldn’t be long before netizens turned the image of her with hands clasped together into an emoji...

At the moment, she lifted the small pot and looked at the sea snails and crabs inside, clearly delighted. With so many people around, Jian Tiantian didn’t plan on eating by herself, so she looked up and called everyone over, "Come on, let’s eat together!"

Huo Miao, aided by Mu Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan, watched the clean and refreshing Jiang Ning with an unavoidably sullen gaze.

She couldn’t understand why Jiang Ning was so lucky, wondering why the torrential rainfall from last night hadn’t washed away Jiang Ning’s tent and backpack as well!

The heavens are truly unfair.

[Wow! Look at Huo Miao’s eyes! That’s so scary!]

[Really!!!]

[She’s looking at Jiang Ning, why is she using that kind of look? Is she unhappy that Jiang Ning only gave Jian Tiantian food and not her?]

[Can we not start with the conspiracy theories! What’s so terrifying about our Miaomiao’s eyes? She just got drenched in rain all night, and she’s feeling a bit unwell, that’s all.]

[Exactly! Anyone would feel uncomfortable after what happened last night!]

Yuan Wei, Ling Bo, and others stepped forward to grab some crab to eat. When there wasn’t enough crab to go around, they shared by breaking it apart and eating together. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Seeing Huo Miao and her two companions still standing in place, Jian Tiantian couldn’t help but turn around and say, "Miaomiao, aren’t you hungry?"

Immediately changing her sullen expression, Huo Miao weakly spoke, "I don’t really like seafood. You guys go ahead and eat..."

Then, Huo Miao turned to look at Jiang Ning and asked, "Jiang Ning, I’m feeling a bit unwell. May I borrow your tent and take a nap inside?"

Jiang Ning, who was scrubbing her hands with fine sand on the ground, heard this and decisively refused, "No."

"Wh-why not?" Huo Miao’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as she leaned weakly on Mu Mingxuan, biting her lip, "I just want to sleep for a little while. I hardly slept at all last night because of the rain."

"No means no, there are no whys about it." After Jiang Ning finished scrubbing her fingers with the sand, she rinsed them carefully with rainwater, finally ridding them of the seafood smell.

Seeing Jiang Ning’s attitude towards Huo Miao, Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan immediately couldn’t hold back.

Mu Mingxuan frowned and said, "You’ve stayed at the Huo Family home many times before, haven’t you? Miaomiao took such good care of you back then, and now you can’t even lend her your tent for a while, how can you be so stingy!"

Huo Ziheng coldly spoke, "How much does this tent cost? I’ll buy it!"

The atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.

[Wow, Trash Jiang is so stingy, not even willing to lend someone her tent for a nap.]

[Is it because she has a phobia of cleanliness? I’m like that too, I don’t like other people lying on my bed. Whenever friends come over to play at my place, they love to lie on my bed and even eat there too. It’s so annoying!]

[This is the wilderness, not home, why be so fussy? Besides, Miaomiao already said that she didn’t rest well last night because of the rain. She’s currently leaning on her fiancé and is clearly very tired and sleepy; all she asked was to borrow Jiang Ning’s tent! It’s not like she’s asking to eat her flesh!]

[Also, listen to what Miaomiao’s fiancé had to say. Trash Jiang used to frequently stay over at the Huo Family’s house! The Huo Family has been kind to Trash Jiang! Look at her attitude towards Miaomiao...seriously?]

[Heh, it really seems the universe is blind. Why did it have to be Miaomiao’s tent that got swept away? Why couldn’t it have been Trash Jiang’s tent and gear! Ahh, it’s making me so angry!]

As she watched the screen overflowing with angry comments scolding Jiang Ning and speaking up for Huo Miao, Mother Huo, also watching the livestream, couldn’t feel happy at all. If Jiang Ning, in retaliation against Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng, said something on the live broadcast that she shouldn’t, the Huo Family would be ruined!
