Chapter 33: I Still Like Your Unruly Look

"Let's grill it later. I'm not hungry yet." Steve stopped Mina, who was about to grill the seafood.

Mina rolled her eyes. "You haven't eaten all day, and you're not hungry? Who are you trying to fool?"

"I'm really not hungry. Don't worry. If I get hungry later tonight, I won't hesitate."

"By the way, Kevin, how's the new shelter coming along?" Steve asked.

Kevin was making eye contact with Peng Peng when he heard Steve's words. He said, "It's just like this place, a simple shelter, but it's enough for us to sleep."

Steve thought for a moment. "Why don't we go over there now? We don't want them to worry when they see that we haven't returned."

Kevin quickly shook his head. "Forget it. You should rest. You're badly injured, Steve. Stop pushing yourself."

"It's fine. My injury's on my hand, not my feet. It won't affect my journey," Steve insisted.

Steve still wanted to go. It wasn't a big deal to split the two groups. Besides, he wanted to stall for time and wait until they were somewhere more comfortable to find shelter and have a proper meal.

"Alright, stop being so stubborn and rest. If it really becomes an issue, Kevin and Peng Peng can go back and inform them," Jarvis said, putting a hand on Steve's shoulder. "My Queen, you just need to be strong."

Kevin and Peng Peng exchanged a look. Aren't we human beings? You want us to walk a long distance in the middle of the night? You're not worried at all? Do you think we're in the way? Would it be easier if you took Mina with you instead?

In the end, Kevin and Peng Peng left. They were worried about Chen Chichi and the others, but the unbearable stench in the shelter, a sour smell coming from dog food, was the main reason they couldn't stay any longer.

With Kevin and Peng Peng gone, Jarvis and Mina became even bolder. Jarvis stayed by Steve's side, taking care of him every step of the way, no longer concerned with the live broadcast.

Steve had no choice but to find something for them to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't get a moment of peace. If the two of them started fighting, it would be chaotic.

"I'm a little hungry. Go help me roast some conchs. Roast a lot so I can have some as a midnight snack."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Call me if you need anything," Jarvis said, standing up.

Steve nodded. "Well, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Jarvis went out to roast the conchs, Mina immediately asked, "What about me? What can I do for you?"

Steve shook his head. "Nothing."

"No, I want to help you too," Mina pouted.

Steve couldn't help but smile in exasperation. "But there's really nothing else I need you to do."

"You can have this." Mina pouted again and crossed her arms, looking cute.

Who could resist that?

People say that being in love is difficult, but that's only because they aren't in love with you. If there's a beautiful woman who cares about you wholeheartedly, would you really turn her away?

"Then why don't you stay here with me?" Steve decided to take action, mainly because he wanted to rest quietly for a while.

After a long day of activity and research, he was exhausted. The pain in his hand had become more of a numbness, no longer as painful, and he just wanted to take a short nap.

Steve's words hit the mark. Mina's eyes widened in surprise, and her face turned bright red.

"Well, I'll stay here with you then."

Yes, why did she have to find something to do? Wouldn't it be better to stay here with Steve?

As for Jarvis, humph, let her do the work.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. This girl was a bit clingy, but honestly, he liked her original cold and unruly demeanor.

Steve slowly closed his eyes, whispering, "I'll take a nap. Just put the food aside when it's ready. I'll eat it when I wake up."

"Good."

Steve, too exhausted to stay awake, fell asleep quickly, despite the soreness in his hands.

His physical condition was much worse than that of most people. After everything he had been through today, his body had reached its limit.

Just as Steve drifted off to sleep, the world outside was in an uproar.

"Jiuzhou Team's survival expert eliminated!" The news instantly became a hot topic worldwide.

Naturally, people abroad were extremely sarcastic, and on the Internet, most of the comments were gloating over Steve's misfortune.

There were also constant arguments in the country.

"Isn't this the end? There are no survival experts left, just a bunch of lazy celebrities who don't even know how to eat. They can't even last until they finish their food, let alone survive out here."

"How did this happen? Isn't Steve just trash? He's holding everyone back. If it weren't for him, Sister Bird wouldn't have been eliminated."

"Are you blind? What does this have to do with Steve? It was just an accident. Bad luck—who can control that?"

"At least it's true that he didn't protect Sister Bird, right? A grown man couldn't even protect a woman. What a waste."

"Steve tried his best. He suffered a serious injury trying to save Sister Niao. How many people would have done that? If it weren't for him, Sister Niao wouldn't have survived."

"Why argue with those incompetent idiots? They're just venting their frustration. If it were them, they wouldn't even be one percent as good as Steve."

"It's pointless to argue now. Sister Bird has been eliminated. How long can the remaining people hold out?"

"Logically speaking... three days?"

"Three more days? If they last two days, they're doing pretty well."

Steve, sleeping peacefully, had no idea that, after this incident, he had become famous.

There were those who admired and liked him, those who despised and hated him, and the majority who had no strong feelings either way, just passing through.
