Stranded on a deserted island with my beautiful boss, who used to make me kneel to do my daily work, now I want you kneeling before me, serving me...
...The wave came suddenly and crashed over us, completely engulfing Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang.
Ignoring their screams, I quickly raised the torch and looked down at the thing that was rolling towards me.
The firelight flickered on and off in the sea breeze, and I had to bend down to see clearly that it was actually a suitcase.
"How did this thing come from the sea?"
Xiao Qiang pulled Xu Wei to lean against me from behind, frowning.
But right now, I feel a mix of joy and worry.
The good news is that in such a remote area, with no idea when the search and rescue team will arrive, receiving these supplies is a pleasant surprise.
The worrying thing is that all the suitcases were swept away by the waves, so it's hard to say whether the remaining colleagues who haven't been found are alive or dead...
However, this is not the time to be overly worried.
I quickly handed the torch to Xiao Qiang beside me, then turned around and dragged the suitcase to the shore, where the waves couldn't reach it, to open it and take a look.
The suitcase was already soaked through with seawater.
Inside were a few pieces of women's clothing, a small makeup box, a thermos, and what pleased me most was that there was even a small first-aid kit in the suitcase.
I quickly opened the medicine box, and there were quite a few medicines scattered inside.
However, some of the medicines had already been soaked in seawater and dissolved together.
Xiao Qiang, who was standing to the side, had an inscrutable expression.
However, upon seeing the medicine box, he sighed softly: "These medicines should still be edible after being dried. There are no other medical supplies on this island, so let's keep them."
Even without Xiao Qiang saying it, I certainly wouldn't just throw away the life-saving medicine I received.
I quickly drained the water from the first-aid kit and set it aside, then went to check my suitcase.
But there's nothing else besides these.
That makes sense. When we come out for team building, how could we possibly bring any other useless items?
Xu Wei looked at the suitcase, her brows furrowing tightly, and leaned closer in quietly.
“I remember this suitcase was brought by Wang Xiaoxiao when I came here. I wonder how she is now.”
My heart skipped a beat when I heard the name Wang Xiaoxiao.
Wang Xiaoxiao is the girl I'm closest to in the company. Although she's a very pretty girl, she has a very outgoing personality and we often call each other brothers.
In a company where everyone is constantly pushing and shoving each other, I've always cherished the opportunity to meet such a like-minded friend.
This team building trip was specially arranged by Wang Xiaoxiao so I could relax, but I never expected to encounter something like this.
At this point, all three of us fell silent, and I was extremely worried.
After all, Wang Xiaoxiao has neither appeared nor been found to be dead.
But at this point, we had no choice but to pull ourselves together, since we were still hungry.
This suitcase does have its advantages; I no longer have to take off my pants to pack those seashells and crabs.
After packing all the clothes in our suitcases, the three of us went to the beach to collect seashells.
However, there was an unexpected surprise tonight, because the tide came in this afternoon, and there were many octopuses, sea urchins, and other marine life in the crevices of the rocks by the sea.
There are countless kinds of kelp.
We hurriedly filled almost all the suitcases before finally returning to our campsite, laden with our belongings.
When they returned, Lin Xubo was already asleep by the campfire, snoring.
When Xiao Qiang saw this, her face turned somewhat ugly. She took a few steps forward and kicked Lin Xubo up.
Although Lin Xubo was asleep, he must have been nervous. Hearing the noise, he suddenly stood up and tried to grab the tree branch behind him. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was us, he sighed.
"Why are you guys moving so slowly? Didn't we already tell you? This area isn't safe."
I despise his arrogant and domineering manner.
"What? You think we're too slow? Why don't you go find something to eat yourself? You're just waiting for something to be served, and you're spouting all this nonsense!"
Lin Xubo pursed his lips, struggled to sit up, and then noticed that we had dragged a suitcase back.
They immediately changed the subject.
"Is there anything to eat in here? Let me see it!"
Xu Wei, who is usually gentle and kind, couldn't help but frown when she saw Lin Xubo like this.
"Stop talking nonsense. There are plenty of dry branches around here. Go and pick up some more."
When Lin Xubo saw that we had opened our suitcases and found them full of food, his face lit up with joy.
He responded and, dragging his obese body, turned around to pick up some branches.
The two girls were dressed very thinly, and the sea breeze was quite cold at night.
I picked up two more tree branches to use as clotheslines, and hung all of Wang Xiaoxiao's clothes on them to dry over the campfire.
Xu Wei sat to the side with her knees drawn up to her chest, while Xiao Qiang remained silent; both of them looked rather pale.
I'm really discouraged by the current situation. After all, if such a large cruise ship had an accident, the search and rescue team should have made a move by now. But so far, we haven't even seen a trace of the ship.
It's unclear whether the search and rescue teams were just going through the motions, or if they searched around but didn't find anyone and then went back to report the deaths.
If that's really the case, then the days ahead will be truly difficult for us.
However, we can't say things that would damage morale right now.
So I quickly looked at Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei: "You two shouldn't just sit there either. If you want to have a full meal, everyone has to work together. Pick out all the shells and make some soup with this thermos."
Xiao Qiang looked up and glared at me: "Who can drink from such a small cup? You're just wasting your time."
Xiao Qiang has always had a foul mouth.
We're not at the office now, and I really can't stand her putting on airs, so I couldn't help but retort.
"You're so noble, of course you won't drink it, but Xu Wei is still hungry, so a little soup will warm her stomach."
After saying that, I stopped paying attention to her and turned around to wrap the half-eaten fish from lunch in leaves and throw it into the fire.
Then he laid all the shells aside, listening to their crackling sounds as they popped open, and the aroma of meat gradually wafted out.
Xu Wei blinked and looked at me, then silently picked up a few seashells and began to remove the meat.
Xiao Qiang glared at me fiercely, her face dark, and began to pack her things.
They pried open each sea urchin with small stones and then roasted them by the campfire.
The crackling sounds actually created a camping atmosphere.
The aroma of grilled sea urchin gradually wafted out, and Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang couldn't help but swallow their saliva at the same time.
I was also a bit hungry, so I picked up one of the sea urchins and handed it to Xu Wei.
Xiao Qiang glared at me but didn't say anything.
I was about to tease her a bit more when I suddenly heard Lin Xubo's terrified scream from not far away.
