Gu Chen looked at Ning Yan calmly, then lowered his eyes and said to Pan Shu softly, "It's late, go back to bed."
The dark night was hanging low.
The temperature was low at night, and the cold wind blew across the earlobes, cold and ferocious.
Ning Yan tilted his head. He walked forward, his black half-finger gloves revealing a section of slender, cold white knuckles. He patted the top of Ban Shu's head nonchalantly and said, "Go to bed."
The black hair scattered across her delicate eyebrows.
The boy's face was expressionless.
Pan Shu weakly grasped his hand, "...Ning Yan."
He lowered his head and was suddenly stung by the anxiety in the girl's eyes.
Ning Yan sighed softly, bent down and met her gaze, his dark pupils flashing with a defiant light. In these misty mountains, his eyes were filled with gentle stars.
"Not angry."
"Go to bed soon, okay?" His low and pleasant voice slowly soothed the girl's anxiety.
Pan Shu returned to the tent and lay down. She vaguely heard Ning Yan say to Gu Chen, "I'll keep watch. You go and rest."
Gu Chen: "You are responsible for the second half of the night."
The boy said in a scatterbrained voice, "She always has trouble sleeping. I'm here to watch over her."
Not a vigil.
It is to protect her.
This time, Panshu fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up the next day, she was the only one left in the tent.
"Awake?" The young man's lazy voice came from outside the tent. He chuckled, "Banshu, you're the one who can't sleep at night and can't get up during the day, right?"
Ban Shu opened the tent and was about to reach out to block the glaring sunlight when Ning Yan gently pushed the hat onto her head.
"How do you wash up, Ning Yan?" Ban Shu raised her fair face and said slowly.
"I've prepared the water for you." Ning Yan raised his chin, "Here, go wash."
"Is it clean?"
“…”
Ning Yan sneered, "Tsk, so delicate."
Pan Shu was not angry either. She smiled, her round almond eyes curved into crescents. "It doesn't matter. Ning Yan doesn't mind me being delicate anyway."
The young man lowered his brows and asked, "Do you talk to everyone like this?"
Pan Shu blinked innocently, "No."
Ning Yan curled her lips lazily, her tone low and seductive, "Well, keep it up, you squeamish girl."
Banshu reached out and pinched her hot ears.
The water Ning Yan had fetched for her was clean and clear, with a hint of sweetness, unlike the water in the nearby stream. Ban Shu had seen that stream, and while that water was also clear, it was still a little murky.
"Shushu, are you awake? This is the mountain spring water Ning Yan ran all the way to get. He wouldn't even give it to us when we wanted to drink it..." Xu Yuanyuan sighed, "I didn't expect it was for washing your face. What a luxury."
Ban Shu was startled, and her slender fingertips created ripples in the clear and cool spring water.
The program team did not drop any supplies, and there were no groups today, so there were just boys in one group and girls in another.
The boys were responsible for chopping and transporting wood to build temporary wooden houses.
The girls are responsible for picking wild fruits and cooking.
The program team placed a supply box on the first day that contained cooking tools for use in the wild.
"Shushu is ready, shall we set off too?" Xu Yuanyuan said.
Pan Shu nodded.
Panshu saw the young man not far away put down the wood on his shoulder and walk towards her.
Ning Yan took off his windbreaker jacket, revealing a black short-sleeved shirt underneath. His muscle lines were beautiful and clear. There was a thin layer of sweat on his face, and he was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
He handed the backpack to Pan Shu and said calmly, "There's strawberry milk and wild fruits in it. Wash them and eat them directly. There's also sunscreen in there, and compressed biscuits. Eat them when you're hungry..."
"Ning Yan." Ban Shu blinked slowly.
Ning Yan stopped talking and looked down at her, "Hmm?"
"You talk a lot."
The young man lazily "tsk"ed, "Ban Shu, I don't care about you anymore, go to hell."
Pan Shu: "I don't believe it."
“…”
Pan Shu stood on tiptoe and gently touched the boy's rosy lips with her cold fingertips. They were soft and warm, like jelly, and felt very good.
Ning Yan paused, then took a step back in a daze, his cheeks burning and his words slurred. "You, you...what are you doing?"
The girl tilted her head innocently, "I thought you had the toughest mouth of anybody."
“…”
Chu Hua and Xu Yuanyuan walked on the right and chatted, "This deserted island is really big."
"Well, be careful not to get lost."
Meng Xi followed the three of them silently. Suddenly, he forced a smile and walked over to Ban Shu, looking aggrieved. "Shu Shu, do you still have any sunscreen left? You applied it to Sister Yuanyuan and the others yesterday, but not me."
Chu Hua rolled her eyes. "You were the one who suddenly ran away, okay? Who would wait for you? You're such a big shot."
The girl blinked innocently and said slowly, "Do you want to use it?"
Meng Xi: “Yeah.”
"Oh." Pan Shu rummaged through her bulging backpack for a while and handed her the sunscreen. "You can use it. It's a good opportunity for us to apply some."
After applying the sunscreen, Meng Xi hugged Ban Shu's arm with both hands and smiled intimately, "The four of us working together is too inefficient. I'll be in one group with Shu Shu, and Sister Yuan Yuan and Hua Hua will be in another. It will be more efficient if we split up and look for the missing person. Shu Shu, don't you agree?"
This is indeed more efficient.
Xu Yuanyuan and Chu Hua agreed, "Okay."
Pan Shu raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, with a sweet smile on her lips, "Sure, I really like being with Meng Xi."
Meng Xi's expression twisted instantly.
Xu Yuanyuan and Chu Hua went east, while Meng Xi and Ban Shu went west.
As the sun gradually set, Meng Xi and Ban Shu actually found several lush fruit trees with different fruits on them. One tree was laden with heavy raspberries.
Meng Xi smiled, "Shushu, these trees are too tall. I'll go back and ask the boys to come pick the fruit. Can you stay here and watch over these fruit trees?"
The girl sipping strawberry milk was wearing a halter dress with strawberry prints and a pink blouse. Her exposed skin was as white as jade. She was too beautiful.
Pan Shu blinked slowly and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."
She did not ignore the malice in Meng Xi's eyes.
Time passes by little by little.
It was almost evening, the sun had completely set, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Meng Xi said to go back and call for help, but even if he was a turtle, he should have come by now.
And the camp on the other side.
Xu Yuanyuan and Chu Hua were discussing what to eat tonight. Ning Yan looked around, frowned, walked over, and looked down at them, "Where's Banshu? Didn't she come back with you?"
The two were stunned and looked at Meng Xi, "Yes, Meng Xi, where is Shu Shu?"
The other three boys were also attracted by the noise and came over just in time to hear this sentence.
Meng Xi's eyes were red with pity, and she said timidly, "Shushu, she loves to play. When I was picking fruit, I turned around and didn't see her. I thought she had left me and came back first... I finally found the way back to the camp..."
