Chapter 158
"Okay." Lu Jingyue didn't make things difficult for her.
Lingwu didn't say anything more, and lowered her head to drink a sip of seafood soup.
This seafood soup was made from clams that a group of people picked up on the beach yesterday evening, and it was also served with kelp. The flavor was fresh and rich.
The person who made the soup was Xin Li, who seemed to be the least capable cook among the group.
Xin Li, noticing Ling Wu's gaze on him, tightened his grip on the seafood soup.
"Is it because it tastes bad?"
He then quickly explained, "Yesterday I was in a rush, and I only had time to dry some coarse salt."
"Coarse salt isn't good for your health, so I didn't add much, as it might affect the taste. I'll refine it into fine salt later when I have some free time, and the taste will be much better then."
Because of his superior genes, even if he just casually pulls his hair back when he wakes up in the morning, it looks as if it has been styled by a professional stylist.
His focused, soft explanation at this moment was a stark contrast to his usual cold and taciturn demeanor, thus capturing everyone's attention.
[I just want to ask, which love rival possessed him last night?]
[It was all traceable (chuckles), but after sleeping with them, I discovered they were all rivals, so I started making my move.]
[Could someone please edit this video? I want to see his transformation from a cold, domineering CEO to a loving family man (fangirl)]
Ling Wu shook her head, "It's delicious, but I'm just surprised that your cooking is so good."
Xin Li's tense nerves relaxed for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips. "It's because the ingredients on the island are so delicious."
Mrs. Xin, who was watching the live stream, pursed her lips.
"Still pretending? You went from a kitchen novice to a master chef in just one week. I wonder how much knowledge you've crammed."
After thinking it over, Madam Xin sent Xin Li a photo of him at home wearing an apron, looking completely lost as he handled crabs for the first time.
Then she added: "The ingredients from the island are so delicious!"
Although I know he can't watch it now, the thought of him seeing it after he finishes recording the show makes me excited in advance!
During the live stream.
Nan Zhi, who returned covered in sweat, was so angry at Xin Li's words that she felt like vomiting blood.
He could already imagine that the comments that would have praised him for being hardworking and considerate would now all be directed at Xin Li.
At that moment, he was unaware that because of Zoe's rambling yesterday, some of his past had been dug up, edited and parodied, and gradually turned into a viral video.
His popularity among the public has increased, but it's contrary to what he expected.
After finishing their lunch, which had taken up most of the day, the group decided to visit the cave, which they had considered as a backup option, for the sake of the show's effect.
The cave is quite high off the ground, and while it's not exactly steep, it's not entirely safe either.
“If the tide comes in high, this will be a good shelter,” Zoe remarked, resting her chin on her hand.
Little did he know that a few days later, he would grit his teeth and curse him as a "jinx"!
After moving some supplies to the cave, the group continued to collect more.
Thinking about being stranded on the island for a while, Lingwu would intentionally or unintentionally say things like she should save supplies for storage.
After hearing it so many times, a group of people will subconsciously put it into practice.
So, in one afternoon, everyone salted and dried the fish they caught. In addition, they also found a small sweet potato field and dug out the sweet potatoes to store.
Compressed biscuits and other modern products are no longer consumed due to the availability of seafood.
Three days later, the second batch of supplies for the program crew was airdropped.
At that time, a group of people were taking a nap on bamboo beds they had made themselves.
The sound of the airdrop pulled a group of people from their dreams.
While the group, who had been forcibly pulled out of the dream, were still in a daze, Ling Wu and Xin Li had already opened the airdrop.
In addition to clothes and toiletries, this time they also provided self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, ham sausages, self-heating rice and other durable supplies, as well as letters from each guest's agent or family member.
Lingwu, however, took out the bags of seeds and the bag of mung beans.
The bag also thoughtfully includes the seed name and planting instructions.
Rubbing her eyes, Lu Jingyue yawned, her eyes slightly moist. "What kind of seeds are these?"
“Sprouts, bok choy, baby bok choy, and mung beans.” Ling Wu glanced at Lu Jingyue, smiled, and pointed to her cheek. “Sister Yue has marks on her face from being pressed between the bamboo leaves.”
"Ah!?" Lu Jingyue's sleepiness vanished instantly, and she hurriedly covered her face.
Seeing her like this, Lingwu said gently, "It still looks good, and..." Lingwu looked around, "Everyone is with you."
For a moment, we looked at each other, and the sense of distance between us was broken down, and we gradually became happy together.
[It's supposed to be a survival reality show, but it feels so heartwarming.]
But four days later...
[Who said it was cozy/warm? Also, it seems like it's been raining a lot lately.]
During the live stream, a group of people sat in a makeshift encampment, watching the rain start to fall again and the sky in the distance, which was as clear and bright as ever.
"When will the rain stop this time?" Lu Jingyue asked, resting her chin on her hand.
Xin Li was carefully examining the vegetables she had grown herself. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Nan Zhi's vegetables had only sprouted a few shoots, and her eyes lit up.
Then she glanced at Zoe's pot of vegetables, which hadn't been tended to at all, yet was growing the most lushly.
This time, Xin Li pursed her lips.
After comparing the two in the end, I felt that I hadn't really lost.
The three of them had made a bet that whoever lost would have to work as a slave for the winner for three days without complaint.
The outcome was now clear, and Xinli stood up.
Since receiving the second letter, Nan Zhi has been out of sorts during the live stream. He glanced at the few green leaves that had sprouted, his eyes dark and brooding.
Bai Yuxia bit her lip. "How about we spend the night in the cave? I'm worried the tide will come in."
“That’s what I think too.” Ling Wu nodded. “We’ll move the supplies when the rain gets a little lighter.”
"What about the home we built?" Lu Jingyue asked.
“A house can be rebuilt, but a person is truly gone.” Zoe leaned against a tree, arms crossed, and responded calmly to Lu Jingyue.
When he looked at Ling Wu, his eyes were filled with a smile.
Then he glanced at Nan Zhi and caught her staring at those vegetables.
"Do you submit or not?" Zoe asked calmly.
"I give up." Nan Zhi's words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
He watered the plants, let them bask in the sun, and pulled weeds every day without fail, so why did it end up like this?
Since appearing on this show, his luck has been terrible. In his last letter, his studio also told him that the audience and fans are now reacting very negatively to him.
It even got to the point where passersby were annoyed!
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to have started from this show, after all, many of his previous endorsements were terminated for unknown reasons.
Rather... it started when Lu Jingyue broke free from his control.
That shouldn't be done.
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
No, to put it another way, it should be from...
It all started the day Ruan Lingwu's fire broke out.
At Xinbei High School, Ruan Lingwu, who had been bullied, and Lu Jingyue, who protected her...
After Nan Zhi thought it through, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her hand tightened as she weeded, pulling up the few remaining bok choy plants by the roots!
"Oh ho, you're so eager to become my slave?" Zoe, always eager for a good show.
