He pointed to the remaining space on either side of the sail and said, "How about you sleep on this side and I'll sleep on that side? Just try not to fall off."
Shen Shu looked at the narrow space, then looked at Lu Ye beside her, and her cheeks began to heat up again involuntarily.
We didn't feel anything when we sat side by side in the boat during the day, but now when we lie down, we are almost shoulder to shoulder, legs touching.
She curled up unnaturally, trying to lean towards the side of the boat, and her voice was very soft.
“Okay…Okay.”
Shen Shu nervously grasped the corners of her clothes with both hands, and even breathed much more lightly, for fear of accidentally touching the other person.
As the night deepened, only the sparkling moonlight remained on the sea.
In the silence, there was only the gentle sound of waves hitting the side of the boat.
The atmosphere was subtly stagnant.
Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, turned her head, and looked at Lu Ye's vague outline in the moonlight, her voice trembling slightly.
"Lu Ye, thank you so much today. I feel much more at ease with you around."
Lu Ye rested his head on his arm and smiled at what he said, his tone relaxed: "Hey, it's no big deal. In this damn place now, we are just grasshoppers in the same boat. It's only natural that we should take care of each other. You also helped me a lot, such as helping me row the boat."
"Hmm..." Shen Shu responded softly, but her heart inexplicably felt a little relieved.
The two chatted for a while.
Unconsciously, fatigue came over her like a tide. Shen Shu could no longer hold on, and her breathing gradually became steady and long.
Lu Ye also yawned, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
The discomfort caused by the small space is ultimately no match for the body's desire for rest.
He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Lu Ye was awakened by a warm touch.
He opened his eyes drowsily, still a little sleepy.
The next second, he froze completely, and all sleepiness disappeared in an instant!
I saw that Shen Shu had completely rolled to his side without knowing when.
A slender arm was placed on his chest, and a long and well-proportioned leg was directly pressed against his leg.
The two of them were almost stuck together!
She was sleeping soundly, her fair cheeks were faintly pink in the morning light, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her even breathing brushed across Lu Ye's neck, bringing waves of subtle itchiness.
Because of her sleeping position, the collar of her loose T-shirt was slightly open, and her delicate collarbone and delicate skin could be vaguely seen...
Gulp.
Lu Ye felt his throat was a little dry and swallowed subconsciously.
This girl... fell asleep without any defense... She has a really nice figure...
This thought flashed through his mind uncontrollably.
I have to admit that the scene before me was quite shocking to a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Just as Lu Ye's mind raced, considering whether to quietly move away or continue pretending to sleep and enjoy this "unexpected benefit" -
"Hmm..."
Shen Shu in his arms moaned, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
It only took a second for Shen Shu's eyes to go from confusion to seeing the scene clearly and then suddenly becoming sober.
"ah--!"
With a short scream, she jumped away like a frightened rabbit. Because her movement was so big, she almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, Lu Ye was quick to pull her up.
"Yes...I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Shen Shu steadied herself, even her ears turned a bright pink.
She frantically tidied her clothes and explained incoherently.
"I...I just don't sleep well...I really don't know why..."
Shen Shu was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and she didn't dare to look Lu Ye in the eye.
Seeing her embarrassed look as if she wanted to disappear right then and there, Lu Ye felt funny in his heart, but he didn't tease her anymore. He just coughed lightly and moved his numb arm as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay, it's okay. No one can control you if you fall asleep. This boat is really too small."
"It's daybreak. Let's pack up and continue our journey. We need to find supplies quickly."
"Yeah!" Shen Shu nodded immediately and turned around to pack her things as if she was escaping, as if there was some kind of flood or beast behind her.
Embarrassing as it was, the instinct for survival quickly overwhelmed everything.
The two of them simply ate some compressed biscuits and replenished their waters, then tacitly picked up the oars again and rowed towards the unknown sea.
After last night's "intimate contact", although both of them deliberately avoided it, the atmosphere was still a little different. Occasionally, when their eyes met, Shen Shu would quickly look away.
Fortunately, the system's "express delivery" quickly broke this subtlety.
[Ding! Detection: The host has sailed ten nautical miles. The "Alien Express System" has sent you a new random supplies package x1. Please check it!]
A wooden box half a person's height appeared out of thin air at the bow of the ship.
"Here I come!" Lu Ye cheered up, stopped paddling, and went over to open the box.
When the box was opened, a fresh fruity fragrance hit me.
"It's an apple!" Shen Shu exclaimed in surprise.
A box full of bright red apples, plump and looking very fresh. In this sea where food and water are scarce, fresh fruit is undoubtedly a great supplement.
"Not bad, not bad! A good start!" Lu Ye picked up one, wiped it and took a big bite. It was crisp and sweet. "Good luck!"
Shen Shu also picked up one and ate it in small bites, feeling much better.
With the encouragement of fruit, the two of them were more motivated to row.
