“Of course it’s yours. You’ve all worked hard all day. I’m not a skinflint.”
If they resorted to underhanded tactics or failed to fight relentlessly, Lu Yulan would naturally not let them off the hook.
Even if you haven't done anything outstanding, you've still put in a lot of effort. It's nighttime, everyone's tired, so just get some rest.
This also tells them that there's no harm in following me.
"Thank you, Miss Lan."
Along the way, apart from the medicinal watermelons, there were only cactus-like plants with traces of small animals nibbling on them, so they should be non-toxic. Lu Yulan picked some of its fruit.
Now we can rest. The rest was distributed to Chi Huo and a few others, and the other three examinees didn't get two to replenish their energy.
He kept three for himself, and used the small knife at his waist to peel off the skin and thorns, giving one to Xiaozhu first.
"Quick, eat one. If we get out of the desert tomorrow, I'll find you more food."
Lu Yuanhong looked at the small fruit that was about to reach his mouth. It was about the size of his palm, with fleshy red flesh and a faint fragrance. It looked very juicy. He took a couple of symbolic bites, and then used his head to push Lu Yulan's wrist into her arms.
He's a man, and he's in beast form now, so he can skip a meal or two without any problem. But Lu Yulan can't. Girls are delicate, and his little girl is here to have fun, so how can he let her go hungry?
Chi Huo, standing to the side, simply pulled out the thorns, wiped them off casually, and began to feast. When he turned around and saw this tender scene, even though it was clearly a person and a pet, it made him feel incredibly cute, like he was a single dog and a third wheel.
He quickly shook his head to dispel the illusion.
“Miss Lan, your pet is so intelligent and sensible. No wonder you said it’s your family. If I had one, I would spoil it rotten.”
"Thanks."
Lu Yulan patted Xiaozhu's head. Xiaozhu was very intelligent. Seeing that Xiaozhu was determined not to eat another bite, Lu Yulan had no choice but to put the fruit in her own mouth.
It's really sweet. I wonder if it's because it was given to me by my own little one, which is why it's so sweet.
After all, it was only the size of a palm, and she had been quite tired from walking all that way. After eating half of it, Lu Yulan had no appetite to eat any more. Thinking that she might not be able to go out tomorrow, she gritted her teeth and ate half of it. She then fed the other half to her baby to show that she was full.
There was one left, which she buried under the sand, waiting to dig it out the next morning and have it chilled for breakfast.
After dinner, Chi Huo looked at the other three candidates, treated them like skewers of meat, and led them away to the side.
After some discussion, they returned.
"Miss Lan, you can sleep peacefully. The four of us will take turns keeping watch, and the night will pass quickly."
Although it looks peaceful now, who knows if there will be a sandstorm or something at night? We can't all just sleep through it all.
Furthermore, although the college will take students' safety into consideration during the assessment, your lack of awareness of danger in the wild is a point deduction in the eyes of the college teachers.
Lu Yulan did not nod, but turned her head and said.
"You guys go to sleep first. I can't sleep right now. You've all had a long day. I'll call you to keep watch when I'm sleepy."
"No need, Miss Lan, you go to sleep, we can manage."
Chi Huo firmly disagreed, and the other three also disagreed. Lu Yulan couldn't possibly handle four people on her own, so she had no choice but to obediently agree.
At worst, I'll wake up earlier and then let them all go to sleep.
The night passed peacefully, but instead of being able to leave the desert by the next day, they did not.
