Chapter 153: Light on the Sea



When Lu Xuan slowly awoke, dusk had already settled on the horizon. He hadn't expected to sleep so well, having slept through the entire day. Glancing around the cave, it seemed none of his three daughters were there.

The faint sounds coming from the cave attracted Shen Keyin, who was busy around the sizzling barbecue grill in the front yard, and she couldn't help but stick out half of her curious face.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had woken up, the girl held a string of steaming barbecued meat tightly in her left hand, and drew arcs in the air with her right hand happily, waving to Lu Xuan with joy on her face.

"Are you awake? We saw you were soundly asleep, so we didn't wake you. Do you want to get up and have some barbecue? Yichen's barbecue is delicious."

As soon as he heard the word "barbecue", Lu Xuan's stomach seemed to be awakened instantly, and it started to rumble and sing the empty city plan.

He was immersed in dreams for the entire day, had not eaten anything, and the feeling of hunger was always with him.

After taking a few glances at the situation in the back cave, Lu Xuan found that everything was calm as water. He was completely relieved and jumped to the front yard to join the barbecue army.

It is said that when people are hungry, everything they eat seems delicious, not to mention the barbecue skewers in front of them that are emitting an enticing aroma.

"Handsome boy, you can sleep a lot! You slept until it was dark. Look at us, we haven't been idle for a moment. We chopped three piles of firewood. Mengyao worked the hardest. He even tied up the bamboo wall in the front yard again. Oh, and even reinforced the bamboo raft gate in the backyard. You have to give us a reward, Mr. Leng!"

Yin Yichen was chewing the fragrant barbecued meat with big mouthfuls while mumbling incoherently.

Lu Xuan casually glanced at the bamboo wall in front of him. Just as Yin Yichen said, a lot of bamboos were inserted on the inside of the bamboo wall and tied with hemp ropes. In the corner of the front yard, next to the bamboo wall, three neatly stacked piles of firewood were clearly visible. It seemed that the girls, especially Leng Mengyao, had been very busy while he was sleeping.

"Reward, of course, a big reward! Hey, how about this, you take turns to warm my bed at night? Haha..." Lu Xuan was in a particularly good mood at the moment and actually made such a joke in public.

"Hey, you really dare to think about it. Let us take turns warming your bed? You're so flattered!" Shen Keyin's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she pretended to be angry, her words full of coquettishness.

Yin Yichen still had that look on her face of someone who was enjoying the fun and even seemed eager to try.

"That's totally fine with me. As long as Miss Keyin doesn't mind, I promise to complete the task beautifully. Hey, handsome boy, when it comes to bed-warming techniques, I'm an expert. Really, I'm especially warm... hehehe..."

The atmosphere between the three of them was quite harmonious, with occasional light-hearted banter. Only Leng Mengyao lowered his head and eyes, as if immersed in his own world, and did not utter a word.

Lu Xuan turned around and looked at Chen Keyin beside him with some doubt. Chen Keyin patted him lightly with a tacit understanding, her eyes moved slightly, and she shook her head gently.

Lu Xuan understood instantly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he chewed the kebab in his hand as if nothing had happened, as if everything was normal and there was no disturbance at all.

"This is grilled well, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's basically inherited 70% of my legacy."

In order to lighten the atmosphere, Lu Xuan kept making jokes.

But Leng Mengyao on the opposite side still seemed to be in a bad mood. He stood up, said hello to everyone, walked out of the front yard, and went to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.

"What's going on?"

Lu Xuan looked at the two girls beside him in confusion.

Yin Yichen shrugged, indicating that she had just woken up and had no idea what was going on.

"Meng Yao cried and said a lot of strange things, saying that he was causing trouble for us..."

Shen Keyin frowned and told Lu Xuan what happened while he was sleeping.

"Hey, what's the big deal? This girl just thinks too much. You two should try to persuade her. We're all a team now. There's really no need to be like this..."

Lu Xuan didn't take it too seriously. In his eyes, Leng Mengyao simply thought that she was the one who organized the company's team building, and now they were stranded on a deserted island, and so many people lost their lives. His group also lived in fear every day, worried about wild animals and wild people, and he felt guilty...

This team building was indeed decided by Leng Mengyao, the company's president, but this decision had no essential causal relationship with his group's shipwreck and stranding on a deserted island. It's like, there are so many car accidents every day, and so many people die. Can you really put all the blame on the person who invented the car?

"I said it, but it seems to be useless... Go and try to persuade him when you have time."

Shen Keyin also shrugged helplessly.

When Lu Xuan thought of President Leng's stubbornness, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. That was the "stubbornness" he had experienced personally.

This girl has advantages all over her body: outstanding appearance, graceful figure, and a sharp mind, but her only problem is that she likes to get stuck in a dead end. Once she gets stuck in a dead end, it is like being stuck in a quagmire, and even ten strong bulls can hardly pull her out.

"Okay, you guys eat, I'll go take a look..."

After all, I am the team leader and the only man here. The physical and mental health of the team members is also very important, so I have the responsibility to take on the responsibility.

"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan..."

Lu Xuan had just stood up when he heard Leng Mengyao's hurried call from outside the bamboo forest wall.

Lu Xuan knew very well that Leng Mengyao was always calm and steady, and rarely would he shout loudly like Yin Yichen, so there must be something fishy about his shouting this time.

Lu Xuan's heart tightened, and then he looked at Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen. The three of them understood each other tacitly and ran towards the beach together.

"What's going on?"

Lu Xuan even picked up a long wooden stick stained with sparks.

"Mengyao, are you okay?"

Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen also ran out closely following Lu Xuan.

"Look over there..."

Leng Mengyao pointed to the sea on the east side.

There seemed to be a bright spot on the distant sea.

"Quick, Ke Yin, go get the telescope, and both of you help me put out the bonfire!"

Based on past experience, if there is light on the dark sea, it is most likely someone is coming, and the person must be up to no good.

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, the three girls immediately took action.

Shen Keyin quickly brought the telescope, and Lu Xuan and the other two quickly put out the bonfire.

Raise the telescope and look towards the bright light in the east.

Lu Xuan saw a speedboat speeding towards his island...
