The wind and rain raged outside, but within this small space, the two of us tightly guarded the only flame.
"Mmm..."
Shangguan Yao woke up groggily. Seeing me looking at her, she immediately sat up and shoved me away with all her might.
She fumbled to check her clothes.
"Lu Ziye, you scoundrel, you took advantage of me while I was asleep!"
I felt speechless. Was this Shangguan Yao an idiot?
"Think carefully, who was leaning on whom!"
I was annoyed too and retorted immediately.
Looking at her intact clothes, Shangguan Yao finally realized what had happened. Her face flushed red, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
*Grumble—*
We only ate one fish, and after a short nap, it was all digested.
I rubbed my stomach, which was growling again, and looked at Shangguan Yao glumly.
"Stop daydreaming. The rain has stopped, quickly look for anything useful."
Shangguan Yao softly agreed and got up to walk towards the sea with me.
We searched along the coast for items. I found the rainforest not far away a bit strange.
What was going on with this island? Our cruise was supposed to be a Southeast Asian tour. This place should have a tropical rainforest climate, yet the trees weren't broad-leaved. They looked more like temperate or even boreal trees.
As I was pondering, I suddenly saw a reflective object on the beach ahead, being washed by the waves.
I was a little surprised and, ignoring Shangguan Yao, quickly walked a few steps forward.
It was a silver-white briefcase!
My eyes lit up. With a sprint, I dived into the sea and hugged the briefcase tightly.
I didn't know what material this briefcase was made of, but it felt cool to the touch and was very heavy. It must contain many good things!
I held the briefcase firmly and slowly swam towards the shore.
Suddenly, I saw Shangguan Yao limping towards me with a worried expression out of the corner of my eye.
Heh, she was ignoring me just a moment ago, and now she's so concerned.
An idea struck me, and I decided to play a trick on her!
I found an angle where Shangguan Yao couldn't see me, went with the waves, took a deep breath, and dived underwater, disappearing quickly.
Shangguan Yao finally reached the shore, but I was nowhere to be seen. She froze.
She called out my name loudly by the sea, her voice anxious and trembling. But the sea was calm, as if no one had ever been there. She collapsed onto the sand.
"Lu Ziye, where are you? Lu Ziye, don't scare me, come out..."
Her voice was on the verge of tears.
Hmph, now you know how important I am.
My dissatisfaction was finally vented. Another wave crashed, and I pretended to be drowning, being washed ashore with the briefcase.
As soon as Shangguan Yao saw me, she rushed over anxiously, shaking my arm.
"Lu Ziye, wake up, don't scare me..."
After a while, Shangguan Yao gradually fell silent, and the hand holding my arm loosened.
Why is she silent?
Damn it, she wouldn't have abandoned me and run off alone, would she?
I secretly opened one eye and saw Shangguan Yao with a conflicted expression, thinking about something. After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned in to kiss me.
Oh my god, if she kissed me, I wouldn't be able to resist sticking out my tongue, and then I'd be exposed!
I quickly pretended to have just woken up, patting Shangguan Yao's arm weakly.
Shangguan Yao felt someone touch her and opened her tightly closed eyes. Seeing me looking at her with a strange expression, her face instantly turned red.
"Are... are you okay?"
I slowly sat up, pretending to cough up water. "Almost lost my life. Take the briefcase and study it back at the shelter."
Shangguan Yao looked reluctant and wanted to say something, but seeing how weak I looked, she didn't dare to.
She obediently picked up the briefcase and walked ahead.
This scene made me feel so good!
Hmph, even if you're the beautiful CEO of the company, you're still no match for my tricks.
Shangguan Yao and I, one after the other, returned to the bonfire with the briefcase.
As soon as we sat down, I couldn't wait to examine the briefcase.
It has a password? No problem!
I casually picked up a nearby stone and smashed it three times, breaking open the briefcase.
"Computer, cosmetics, damn, Dragon Tiger Gate!"
I rummaged through it for a long time, only finding scattered items. The only useful things were a few clothes, a bottle of water, and a bag of sunflower seeds.
Useful, but not entirely. With a glimmer of hope, I reached into a pocket of the clothes.
Hmm? Square, flat! I casually pulled out a condom, a super thin one.
After Shangguan Yao returned, she had been keeping her back to me, her ears red, as if she was shy. Just as she turned her head to say something to me, she saw the condom in my hand.
Her face immediately turned bright red!
"Lu Ziye, at a time like this, you're still thinking about such lewd things! Throw it away quickly!"
