July 10th, 31st day stranded on the deserted island. A full month had passed.
Two baskets were woven from bamboo and had just been completed. The week-long torrential rain had finally stopped.
Although moisture still lingered in the air, it was refreshing and crisp, as if my soul had been cleansed.
Grandpa Sun, who had taken a week off, finally came out to clock in, painting a beautiful rainbow across the island's sky!
"Wow, what a smooth rainbow!"
"First time seeing such a beautiful rainbow!"
"Click!"
Ning Shu took a picture of the beautiful scene with her phone.
"Come come, the cave opening has been widened. Let's take some photos together at the entrance. My phone has 512GB memory, definitely enough storage. If we get rescued, these will be our most precious memories!"
"Taking photos is fine, but can you turn off the shutter sound to save some battery?"
Ning Shu made an "OK" gesture and fiddled with her phone, "Done!"
"Come, Lu Zhe, take one with me!"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips, pulled Lu Zhe to the cave entrance, and placed her hand on his shoulder. She cracked a faint smile and suddenly threw her body back. Lu Zhe instinctively caught her!
Having been dance partners at the studio for some time, they were familiar with the move and posed elegantly.
Ning Shu frowned, snapped a photo, "Next person!"
Jiang Yao pouted, "A few more shots!"
"Oh no, not much battery left. Next person, next!"
Tang Xiaoguo trotted over, "Come, brother Zhe, lift me up high!"
"Why?"
"Why?! Come on, lift me up quick!"
As she spoke, she hugged one of Lu Zhe's arms and jumped. Fearing she would fall straight to the ground, Lu Zhe caught her with his other arm.
Being light, Tang Xiaoguo easily landed on Lu Zhe's shoulders with his help. She winked playfully and made a triumphant yeah gesture!
Another photo taken.
Ning Shu had her hands on her hips, utterly helpless, "Hey, can't you guys pose normally? You're at the cave entrance, it's meters high. What if you fall? If you don't care about Lu Zhe, at least I do! Next!"
Lin Qianqian ran over, "My turn, my turn! Lu Zhe, let's take a survival themed shot!"
Lu Zhe realized he was purely being used as a prop for their photos.
But Qianqian's idea was commendable, "Look at Qianqian. She is our class chair after all. Always thinking of survival even when taking photos. Go ahead, tell me how you want to recreate the survival scene."
"Hmm..."
Lin Qianqian tilted her little head, pondering for a bit. She held out her finger to Lu Zhe, then took his hand in hers.
"What...are you doing?"
"We suck the salt from each other's fingers!"
"Huh?"
He thought she would be the most normal one, but instead the strangest!
But looking at Lin Qianqian's tender little hand held out, refusing such an innocent girl would be a sin!
He reluctantly played along.
The two made the bizarre motion of sucking salt from each other's fingers.
"Sister Bing, you should be in one too!"
"Okay, Lu Zhe, have you seen the movie The Seventh Grade Civil Servant?"
"I've seen the movie version..."
"Let's recreate a movie still!"
"Oh, now that you mention it, Sister Bing looks quite like the actress Kong Hyo-jin!"
"Nonsense, Sister Bing is way prettier than her!"
"Lu Zhe, match Sister Bing in aura, ok?"
Finally, it was Ning Shu's turn. She passed her phone to Shen Bing, "Sister Bing, please help."
But when she got to Lu Zhe, she became hesitant.
How should she pose?
Seeing her hesitation, Lu Zhe took two steps back, "Why not take a solo shot?"
"No, come back here!"
Ning Shu grabbed Lu Zhe's arm and pulled him back. She thought for a bit, "You've carried Xiaoguo..."
"That was over my shoulder..."
"And you've held Qianqian and Yao Yao too..."
"That was to save them!"
"Also Sister Bing, you've carried her as well!"
Shen Bing was surprised, "How did Xiao Ning know?"
Lin Qianqian whispered, "Lu Zhe carried you out of the jungle...you were like a little kid..."
"Come to think of it, you've never carried me!"
Lu Zhe thought about it, she was right!
"Then...carry me for a shot!"
"How should I carry you?"
"Princess style, of course!"
As she spoke, Ning Shu leapt towards Lu Zhe.
But it seemed she didn't quite understand how to jump for the guy to catch her comfortably. Instead, she instinctively unleashed her long jump skills, soaring far too high. Fearing she would leap right over him, Lu Zhe quickly caught her by the waist. Her skirt fluttered up with a familiar sight.
Oh no!
Great timing to meet little bear again?
But no!
No little bear!
Little bear should have been guarding the entrance!
After Ning Shu's period had ended, she thoroughly washed her underwear with detergent twice.
She planned to wash them squeaky clean before wearing them again. For now she could only wear skirts.
Strange but no other way about it.
Couldn't risk dubious fabrics down there either.
So it was excusable.
Even Lu Zhe panicked in that instant.
Dodging the class leader meant dropping her, but not dodging...
Before he could react further, Ning Shu turned ghastly pale. Then a violent blush rushed from her cheeks down to her neck!
"Get her off my face quick!"
He could feel the clearer sensation of lips moving!
Jiang Yao and Lin Qianqian quickly carried Ning Shu off while Lu Zhe sat up rubbing his nose. Felt like it would start gushing any moment.
"Sor...sorry..." Ning Shu looked up to see Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo fuming with anger.
"I knew our class leader was the real master!"
"To think she'd use this method, who could've imagined?"
"Could've easily hurt Lu Zhe..."
Ning Shu quickly clarified in panic, "Accident...pure accident!"
Then she saw Shen Bing had put the phone down.
"Sister Bing, you didn't record all that did you?"
Shen Bing sighed and returned Ning Shu her phone...
Ning Shu scrolled through in shock!
Why were there burst shots of her leaping into the guy's face?!
She wanted to delete them but hesitated for a moment.
She didn't, just hid them in a spot not easily found by others.
Sniffling apologetically, "You alright, Lu Zhe?"
"How could I be alright? You nearly smothered me!"
"Sorry, got overexcited just now..."
"You dirtied my nose..."
Ning Shu hurried to wipe Lu Zhe's nose.
"Our class leader really is the most covert flirt!"
"Our skills are too shallow compared to her."
"Oh stop it, I'm dying from embarrassment!" After wiping his nose, she hurriedly put little bear back on and went into the cave, wary of further accidents happening.
They took a few more photos before the screen blacked out to preserve battery.
Ning Shu wanted to scroll through the shots but the ground was still damp and muddy from the rain, littered with broken banana and palm leaves.
Lu Zhe rubbed the soil between his fingers.
An idea crossed his mind, the clay was suitable for making pottery.
Should he make more containers to store collected rainwater?
Rather than that, why not dig a small reservoir to collect rain instead?
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
