Ning Shu nodded: "Right, this matter is very important. If it is a rescue team, we can go home today!"
"Pray!"
"Oh yes, how many coconuts are left?"
"There are five with water, and eleven without water left!"
"We still need to find a way to get more fresh water. Qianqian, we still need to trouble you to distill more fresh water!"
Lin Qianqian said: "No problem!"
"Also, sleeping on the sandy beach is not very comfortable either. When you have time you can pull up some wild grass, put it under the sun to dry, then tie it into grass mats and lay them in the shelter. It will increase the comfort!"
Jiang Yao said: "Class monitor, you pull the wild grass. My legs are not good, let's see if we can weave into a mat!"
Ning Shu shook her head: "I'm afraid not!"
Tang Xiaoguo asked: "Why?"
Ning Shu said: "I can't let Lu Zhe go there alone. I have to go with him! I'm afraid I can't accompany you at the camp!"
The girls thought about it, and indeed they didn't feel assured about Lu Zhe going alone either.
Forget encountering Godzilla zombies or alien fox spirits, even a fox spirit would be hard to deal with!
After weighing it, having someone accompany Lu Zhe could make everyone less worried!
Lin Qianqian said: "Don't worry, I can go collect wild grass!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "I'll distill fresh water!"
Jiang Yao said: "I'll weave the grass mats! I'll give you a comfortable camp when you come back!"
"Then please help us."
Lu Zhe and Ning Shu simply prepared a bit, took half a bottle of coconut water, empty backpacks, and once again explored the other side of the island!!
Along the way, they picked up some more supplies!
Lu Zhe felt that useful things should be washed clean and carefully folded up and collected!
Ning Shu picked up bottles while joking: "When we go back, we can open a scrap purchase station!"
"Does brother look like someone who buys scrap?"
Ning Shu looked him up and down deliberately jokingly: "Very much like it!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Ok, I'll be the boss, you can be the employee!"
"Why do I have to be the employee?"
"What do you want to be then? The boss's wife?"
Ning Shu lightly punched him: "Hey, trying to take advantage of the class monitor, see if I don't pinch you!"
Lu Zhe plainly hummed: "Threatening to pinch people all the time, are you a swan?"
"Lu Zhe, why are you so annoying!"
She said annoyed, but her eyes started peeking at Lu Zhe!
To be frank, Lu Zhe was quite handsome. Disregarding his freaky attributes, he was not a bad choice for a boyfriend!
It was just that Xiaoguo and Yao Yao were fiercely competing, if she cut in it would probably get messy!
But there was something she wanted to ask Lu Zhe that she didn't get to ask last time: "Hey, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead!"
"You can't be oblivious that Yao Yao and Xiaoguo are interested in you right?"
Lu Zhe smugly nodded: "Of course, ever since I was little, many girls have been interested in me! My mom says I have no other flaws, just that I'm too popular with the ladies! Fortune tellers say I have peach blossom luck, a once in a century heartthrob!"
"Lu Zhe..."
"Hmm?"
Ning Shu looked at him very sincerely and said: "If you don't boast, we can still be friends!"
"Boast? I'm very modest..."
"Don't mess with me, say something real!"
Ning Shu changed to a more serious tone: "If Xiaoguo and Yao Yao made you choose one as a girlfriend, who would you pick?"
Lu Zhe smiled: "It has to be just one? Can I have both?"
"Quite greedy!"
Ning Shu held up a finger: "I'm asking seriously, answer me seriously too!"
Lu Zhe rarely saw the class monitor being so serious: "What's up, class monitor wants to manage classmates' relationships too, report to the teacher when we get back?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Lu Zhe thought about it: "Hmm... to be honest, I don't know either! I want to say I like both of them, but I'm afraid you'll call me trash! But actually..."
Ning Shu angrily said: "Humph, so you really like both of them!"
"Not really either!" Lu Zhe also switched to a serious tone: "I like all four of you, including Qianqian, and you too, class monitor!"
"Me??"
Hearing this, Ning Shu felt a little surprised!
She felt like she should be very angry, but surprisingly wasn't able to work up anger?
Why?
She didn't know either!
"You... you want to play four boats?"
"Eh..."
Lu Zhe sighed: "I know it's not good too! But you four, you each have your own strengths, your own charm, and your own little flaws too! If I have to choose just one, I'd rather die!"
Ning Shu pretended to be angry and said: "Humph, then just go die!"
Then mumbled: "Asking you is useless, not a single truthful word!"
Lu Zhe scratched his head, he didn't feel like he was avoiding the question at all. On the contrary, he felt he answered very sincerely!
The two chatted while walking. Soon, they arrived at the place they had come to yesterday!
"Hey, Lu Zhe look!"
Lu Zhe looked towards it, and indeed it was still there!
"Hasn't moved at all?"
"Seems a bit closer!"
"Could also be unclear in last night's lighting!"
"Is it a boat?"
"Doesn't look like one!"
This time, Lu Zhe could see more clearly than last night!
But he had slight near-sightedness, still only able to see the outline!
Oh right, there were potential points!
He'll directly add 2 points to perception!
Suddenly, it felt like his ears were clear and eyes bright. He focused slightly, pupils contracted, not only was the slight near-sightedness cured, his vision was much better than before!
Next, he could clearly see the green top...
This looked like an island!
Another small island!
Add another 3 points to perception, focus!
Confirmed!
It really was a small island!
"See what it is clearly now?" Ning Shu asked!
"Looks like a small island!"
"Not a rescue boat... no wonder it's stuck there motionless..." Ning Shu sighed disappointedly.
The small island was somewhat far, couldn't see the specifics, and the sea's horizon itself obscured the lower half of the island!
To see more clearly, they'd have to climb to the highest point of the island they were on!
He looked back at the lush tropical jungle!
Barging into the jungle would not be easy at all!
Need to deal with insects, snakes, and some unimaginable sudden occurrences!!
But this was very necessary. Even disregarding observing that island, they still needed to understand some information about the island they were on!
Like where were the rivers, where was the bamboo forest, where were suitable lands for farming!
So, from any perspective, they must reach the highest point of the island!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhe said to Ning Shu: "Class monitor, I need to go into the jungle!"
"Why?!"
"I need to get to the island's highest point! Firstly to more clearly see the situation of the island across from us! Secondly, it's also helpful to understand the circumstances of our island!"
Ning Shu nodded: "Alright, let's go together!"
Lu Zhe also felt he couldn't leave Ning Shu here. He thought for a bit and said:
"Ok, let's go into the jungle together! But we have to be extremely careful, there could be a lot of danger in the jungle!"
"It's not like we haven't explored the jungle together before!"
"That time was just at the edge, this time we're going deep into the jungle! The danger levels are different."
Ning Shu nodded seriously, and said: "Don't worry, I'll listen to you and be very careful!"
Lu Zhe nodded, and held out his hand!
Ning Shu was startled: "What are you doing?"
"Let me hold your hand, in case anything sudden happens, we can help each other!"
"Oh!" Ning Shu hesitated for a bit, then placed her hand in Lu Zhe's palm!
And right at the moment their fingers touched, Ning Shu's heart thumped like a deer!
