Chapter 4
Shen Jinfeng naturally heard the other members of the team unanimously say that they had “no food.”
In other words, the two slices of bread and three biscuits he had just found in the backpack were the only remaining dry rations at present.
What was even worse was that everyone had been swept onto this beach by the waves together, so their physical exhaustion and bodily condition were probably more or less the same.
He restrained his slightly trembling fingertips.
With just a slightly larger movement, he could feel a wave of dizziness and blurred vision, accompanied by a faint urge to vomit.
The original owner of this body was in very average physical condition.
Shen Jinfeng judged this in his heart.
It even felt rather mismatched with the physical quality of someone supposedly proficient in taekwondo, karate, judo, and so on.
However, he could not determine how long the original body had been unconscious. It was possible that the previous exertion had been too great.
If that was the case, wouldn’t the others be in even worse shape?
Their condition should be even more terrible.
He looked at the others, who were struggling to get up and sitting unsteadily. After learning the bad news that their teammates also had no food, their faces were full of dejection.
He Erwang forced himself to regain some energy. “We have to think of a way to find food.”
Something felt oddly discordant.
Shen Jinfeng quietly observed the few of them, then suddenly met a pair of eyes staring at him without blinking.
It was Qi Xiu.
The moment Qi Xiu met Shen Jinfeng’s gaze, his body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes wanted to shift away.
He was clearly somewhat afraid.
But after hesitating for two seconds, he still looked toward Shen Jinfeng with pleading eyes.
He seemed to struggle for a long time before finally making up his mind and speaking in a very small voice.
“Boss, I’m so hungry.”
As soon as he said this, Gu Shengsheng, who was closest to him, froze for a moment, then replied in a rather unpleasant tone, “Your boss here is starving to death too.”
“Ah?” Qi Xiu hurriedly shook his head. “Gu Shengsheng, I wasn’t talking to you.”
He and Gu Shengsheng were classmates. This time, he had come to the deserted island because Gu Shengsheng had promised to give him a sum of money for his tuition.
At most, the two of them could be considered to have an employment relationship.
He had never called Gu Shengsheng “Boss” before.
Gu Shengsheng followed his line of sight and saw Shen Jinfeng standing not far away with his back leaning against a tree.
Oh, right. Their team had a boss.
It was Shen Jinfeng.
[Finally someone noticed Shen Jinfeng. Aren’t you all going to ask whether he has food???]
[I’m really curious now. What will Shen Jinfeng do? He wouldn’t just say “I don’t have any food either” like the others, right? After all, it’s very obvious now that all the team’s food is with him. That little bit of food is only enough for a few meals. There’s a high chance he’ll keep it all for himself.]
[Feels like he’ll keep it all +1. To be honest, most people in this situation wouldn’t selflessly give their food away, right?]
[Bullshit. With that little bit of food, how long could he survive if he kept it all for himself? If he, as the team leader, really did that, he’d only be attacked by everyone. Anyone with even a bit of brains wouldn’t do that, right?]
[The smart move now should be to use the food to make a proper distribution. This is a good opportunity to grasp people’s hearts and establish authority.]
[You’re all analyzing so seriously. Am I the only one curious why Qi Xiu chose to ask Shen Jinfeng for help? Isn’t he Gu Shengsheng’s little follower?]
[Does that even need asking? His initial persona is timid and weak. He wants food but doesn’t dare look for it himself, so of course he asks the strong for help. At least on the surface, isn’t Shen Jinfeng the strongest one here?]
Without a doubt, the first point of conflict in the third season of What Kind of Person Are You? had arrived.
Unaware that he had already become the center of everyone’s attention, Shen Jinfeng heard Qi Xiu repeat to him once more, “Boss, I’m so hungry.”
Interesting.
Qi Xiu did not seem certain that he had food, but because of hunger, the first person he thought of asking for help was him.
This kid was a little timid, and his voice was very soft when he spoke. But he had repeated it twice, and the gaze he cast toward Shen Jinfeng was full of complete, unguarded trust, as if he had treated Shen Jinfeng as his lifesaving straw in this situation.
Shen Jinfeng was used to coming and going alone when doing missions, and rarely faced such pleas for help and trust.
He lowered his head and responded faintly.
“I have food.”
The others’ gazes instantly turned toward him.
Shen Jinfeng directly picked up the small backpack he had casually thrown aside after checking it earlier, unzipped it, turned it upside down, and shook it.
Everything inside the backpack fell to the ground.
A flashlight, a multifunctional military knife, a sunhat, a pair of sunglasses, an emergency blanket, a box of cold medicine, and a box of painkillers.
There was even a power bank. He did not know whether it was broken or not, but it probably could not be used anyway, because his phone was gone.
The original owner was an expert in wilderness exploration, so he had naturally prepared thoroughly.
However, most of the supplies had been in another, larger backpack… which was probably now sunk at the bottom of the sea.
It was already not easy for the small bag he carried with him to contain this many things.
However, the others currently had no attention to spare for these items.
Their eyes were fixed tightly on the food shaken out of the backpack, shining brightly.
One bottle of mineral water, two bags of bread, and three compressed biscuits.
Very shabby.
But in the present situation, incomparably precious.
However, all of these things had been taken out by Shen Jinfeng and belonged to Shen Jinfeng personally.
The others, who had not yet experienced a desperate life-or-death situation and still retained human conscience and moral values in their hearts, swallowed.
Even Qi Xiu, who had just taken the initiative to tell Shen Jinfeng that he was hungry, was too embarrassed to ask whether he could have a portion of food.
Shen Jinfeng did not know that the others were currently locked in a battle between heaven and man inside their heads.
He casually called them over. “Come here and split the food.”
“Really?!” He Erwang was the first to cry out in surprise.
Shen Jinfeng nodded.
He Erwang moved his weak and heavy legs, stood in front of Shen Jinfeng, and felt as if strength had instantly been injected into his body.
With the first person setting an example, the others also quickly came to Shen Jinfeng and all looked at him eagerly.
Suddenly feeling five pairs of expectant eyes on him, Shen Jinfeng pursed his lips uncomfortably and pointed at the ground.
“Sit down.”
The five of them obediently sat down, forming a circle.
Looking at the screen, Sun Xinping’s mouth twitched. “Why is each one more obedient than the last?”
Xiao Li looked at the harmonious scene on the screen and flattered him with a beaming smile. “It’s because you’re wise, Director. Your design is good.”
[Shen Jinfeng is actually willing to take out his own food and share it with everyone?]
[What’s strange about that? One part of Shen Jinfeng’s initial personality setting is uniting and protecting his teammates. If the persona failed from the very beginning, I wouldn’t dare imagine it. He’d probably be completely hopeless.]
[Now I’m curious how he’ll divide it.]
Under the high-definition camera, Shen Jinfeng suddenly reached out and plucked a handful of leaves from the tree branch he was leaning against.
[??? What is he doing?]
They saw Shen Jinfeng’s fingers move rapidly. Almost no one could clearly see his movements before several leaves had already been shaped into a small bowl.
After finishing it, he casually placed it on the ground and began making a second and third. Only after making a full six did he stop.
To the naked eye, the six bowls were almost exactly identical in shape and size.
The audience reacted.
[Is he going to divide the food?]
[I didn’t expect Shen Jinfeng to be this good with his hands.]
He was indeed dividing things.
Only, what he was dividing was water.
Shen Jinfeng twisted open the cap of the mineral water bottle and poured water into each of the six bowls, explaining concisely, “Before we find a water source, we need to drink this bottle of mineral water sparingly.”
Each bowl was filled to one-third, and judging by eye, the measurements were almost exactly the same.
Without waiting for the others to respond, he casually picked up the first bowl of water, added a compressed biscuit, and handed it to the nearest person, Mo Fan.
“This is yours.”
Mo Fan hurriedly accepted it, his face full of gratitude. “Thank you, Boss!”
Next was He Erwang.
He Erwang hesitated for a moment. In his memory, he had never called anyone Boss before.
For some reason, he always felt that saying “Thank you, Boss” was a little difficult.
But after receiving someone’s kindness—especially in an environment like this, where it could be considered lifesaving kindness if one put it more seriously—he had to know how to be grateful.
The other team members had all called him Boss.
He was someone who understood politeness and gratitude.
After struggling for a moment, He Erwang closed his eyes, opened them again, and very decisively spoke loudly.
“Thank you, Boss!”
The flamboyant purple-haired young man had delicate features, his face full of smiles. His tone was grateful, yet carried a faint trace of discomfort.
He looked exactly like a bratty child who had been taught a lesson and turned over a new leaf.
Shen Jinfeng’s eyes moved slightly, and he suppressed the urge to reach out and ruffle that purple hair.
“You’re welcome,” he replied.
The bullet comments, however, nearly collapsed with laughter at this scene.
[Hahahahahahaha, who has ever seen He Erwang like this?]
[I screenshotted it. I’ll make it into an emoji later and post it under He Erwang’s Weibo every day after he comes out.]
[He Erwang obedient version.jpg, He Erwang bootlicker version.jpg, He Erwang polite version.jpg]
[I’m dying. After he comes out of “Being Human,” what expression will He Erwang have when he sees himself actually calling Shen Jinfeng Boss?]
Of course, the current He Erwang did not know this.
He carefully accepted the water and compressed biscuit, gently tore it open, his movements carrying a rather devout meaning.
Next were Gu Shengsheng and Qi Xiu.
Then came the sixth guest, who still had not shown his face until now.
Shen Jinfeng carried the water and bread over to the last companion. “This is yours.”
Unexpectedly, he was refused.
“What about you?” The last companion did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Shen Jinfeng with a deep gaze. “There’s no food left. If you give the last portion to me, what will you eat?”
Shen Jinfeng’s fingertips trembled. He lowered his head and replied calmly, “I’m fine. You eat first.”
In those hurried two glances, he saw the appearance of this final companion.
The young man had jet-black hair, with not a single stray lock on his forehead, revealing cool and distant brows and eyes beneath a full hairline. His features were sharp and distinct. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, with an abstinent aura.
He was extremely handsome, the kind of striking presence that still drew attention even in a team where everyone was outstanding in appearance.
But the tone he used when speaking… Shen Jinfeng could not figure out how to describe it. He only felt that it was a little strange and made him very uncomfortable.
The discomfort was probably because—
From the memories he had received, he knew that this final companion liked him.
Or rather, had a secret crush on him.
Shen Jinfeng had rich experience doing missions, but across 999 quick-transmigration worlds, he had never touched love.
Heaven knew that the “surprise” 888 had mentioned was actually that the original owner had provoked romantic debt!!!
The last companion was named Qin Ye. It was because he secretly loved the original owner that he had followed him on this exploration trip, only to now end up stranded on a deserted island.
Shen Jinfeng examined the young man’s somewhat disheveled clothes.
He felt that the original owner really was not a decent person.
But Qin Ye still did not accept it.
Shen Jinfeng directly stuffed the bread into Qin Ye’s arms. “I’m not hungry. You eat.”
Qin Ye froze for a moment and subconsciously reached out to catch it.
He looked at Shen Jinfeng’s insistence and did not refuse again.
Shen Jinfeng let out a breath of relief.
Then he saw Qin Ye tear open the packaging, split the bread in half, and hand the larger half to him.
“One half each.”
“If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either,” he continued.
Shen Jinfeng: “!”
He realized that his memories were not wrong.
At a moment like this, Qin Ye still gave him the larger share of food.
Qin Ye really did have a secret crush on him.
