"You two should stop talking nonsense. Who here doesn't know you two are in cahoots with that Ye Qiu?" Jim sneered at Mia'er and Sha Beibei.
"You..."
The two women were infuriated. Everyone's emotions were already on edge, and Jim's incitement was easily shaking their confidence.
"What do you want?" Ye Qiu looked at Jim's smug face but remained utterly calm.
"You should die to atone for your crimes! That's the only way to make amends!" Jim immediately replied.
As soon as Jim finished his sentence, he felt a little short of breath.
Ye Qiu lifted Jim like a chick and directly threw him into the sea.
"Splash, splash..."
Jim struggled desperately, constantly shouting for help. Neither he nor his companions expected Ye Qiu to act so decisively, throwing him into the sea without a word. His companions hurriedly pulled him back onto the raft.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Jim, who had swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater, started coughing continuously once back on the raft, gulping down fresh air.
Ye Qiu didn't even bother to glance at him and returned to his seat, closing his eyes to rest.
After this episode, the others dared not say anything more, lest they end up being thrown into the sea by Ye Qiu.
That night, after a day of consumption, food became even scarcer. Some with bigger appetites had already finished their supplies, leaving only a few with some leftovers.
While resting, Ye Qiu suddenly heard arguing and immediately opened his eyes.
"These fruits are ours; what right do you have to take them?" a girl shouted angrily.
"Well, you're not going to finish them anyway. Just bring them out and share," Jim said shamelessly.
"Why should we? When Ye Qiu distributed the food, everyone got the same amount. Why should we have to share? This is our stuff!"
These girls were kind-hearted, but it's not the time for kindness. On the ocean, with no water or food, survival is incredibly tough. They had to carefully ration their supplies.
"That's right. During the food distribution, everyone got the same amount. And here you are, a grown man, trying to snatch food from young girls, shameless!" Ye Qiu sneered, standing up.
As soon as Ye Qiu spoke, the others looked at Jim with disdainful expressions.
"You..." Jim was furious. Every time he clashed with Ye Qiu, he ended up on the losing side. It frustrated him, but facing hunger, he still bravely stood his ground.
"I think there was a problem with your initial distribution. Although everyone got the same, not everyone's appetite is the same. Clearly, these girls don't need as much food, so they should share!" Jim said, self-righteously.
Hearing his words, Ye Qiu was speechless. He's never seen someone as shameless as Jim.
Who told you not to ration your food properly and eat it all up? Now you're snatching from others. Are others to blame for your own actions?
"Judging by your look, you must be very hungry. In that case, let me offer you some seawater."
The moment Ye Qiu took a step, Jim immediately shouted, "No, don't..."
He kept retreating, realizing that Ye Qiu intended to throw him into the sea.
He had experienced it this morning; if he doesn't get fished out this time, won't he have to stay in the ocean forever?
"I'm sorry; I won't do it again. I won't, I promise," Jim begged, finding that hunger was hard to bear, but better than losing his life.
"This guy is so shameless, acting so arrogant a moment ago, only to be scared stiff by a word from Ye Qiu. Now, he's like a grandson."
"Such a person doesn't deserve sympathy. He should be specially handled by Ye Qiu. If it were me, I would have thrown him into the sea to feed the sharks long ago."
Several people nearby expressed their disdain for Jim and his ilk, as it would be hard to find another group as shameless as them in the world.
The voices around weren't quiet, and Jim heard them clearly but dared not speak a word, swallowing all his grievances.
After being chastised by Ye Qiu, Jim and his group immediately behaved themselves.
However, the girls still felt insecure and quickly moved closer to Ye Qiu, feeling safer near him.
"Brother Ye, thank you. Without you, we wouldn't have survived."
"Sigh, Brother Ye tries so hard to help the group, but there are ungrateful ones in it."
"I think we should just remove these ungrateful ones from the group."
The girls, filled with resentment, vented their discontent towards Jim and his group.
"As annoying as they are, they're not worth killing. We have bigger issues to deal with, so let's not stoop to their level," Ye Qiu said, never having considered Jim and his group worth his attention, as they were beneath his notice.
"Hmm, Brother Ye is indeed broad-minded, unlike some petty people."
"Hehe, get some rest." Ye Qiu smiled.
"Okay!"
After the girls responded, they instinctively leaned closer to Ye Qiu.
In the ocean, the daytime heat is intense, while nighttime brings a chill. With no blankets, they can only warm each other.
The girls were very close, and their fragrance made Ye Qiu feel quite uncomfortable.
He is, after all, a normal man. Naturally, he has physical desires, and with the girls so close, isn't it tempting him to commit a crime!
But there were many people on this raft, so Ye Qiu couldn't do anything about it, making him feel quite awkward.
Mia'er seemed to notice Ye Qiu's discomfort and kept giggling.
"If you really can't stand it, go ahead. I think they wouldn't refuse you." Mia'er whispered.
"Am I that kind of person?" Ye Qiu glared. If he did anything here, how would he be different from Jim and his ilk?
"Don't flatter yourself. I know you want to but don't dare!"
