Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, a look of disappointnt flashed across everyone's faces.
They were all novices at wilderness survival, without any experience. It seed their plan to learn was destined to fail.
Ye Qiu seed to notice their disappointnt and smiled as he said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you starve."
"Really?"
"That's great!"
"Thank you!"
For a mont, countless people were moved to tears.
Previously, so had complained about Ye Qiu, believing their misfortune was due to him. But with those words, their anger vanished, and they were grateful to Ye Qiu for not holding any grudge and for not forgetting them after catching food.
Two fish, no matter how big, couldn't sustain twenty-three people. Without saying much, Ye Qiu placed the fish on the beach and dove back into the sea.
Monts later, two more big fish were brought ashore.
After a few trips into the sea, Ye Qiu caught over ten big fish — enough for each pair to share.
"Though I can't catch fish, I'm good at preparing them. Let handle this."
"I'll help too. I used to run a restaurant; killing and cooking fish is no problem for ."
Several others stepped up to offer their help with the fish.
The group on the beach was now bustling with joy, with so preparing the fish while others started the fire.
Ye Qiu sat with Sha Beibei and Mia'er, grilling fish together.
"Your clothes are wet; take off your jackets and dry them. If you catch a cold, there won't be any dicine for you," Ye Qiu suggested, looking at the clothes clinging to the two won.
Sha Beibei blushed at Ye Qiu's words. She neither agreed nor refused.
Mia'er, who grew up in Europe, was more carefree. She didn't waste words and just took off her jacket, setting it aside to dry.
Sha Beibei hesitated. She wanted to undress, but didn't dare because she was wearing a dress, and without it, she'd be exposed.
"Sister, what are you afraid of? Think of this as a beach. There are plenty of bikini-clad won on the beach. Look at ; I'm barely wearing anything," Mia'er advised, noticing Sha Beibei's embarrassnt.
Seeing Mia'er in just a black bra, Sha Beibei thought she had a point. Why was she being so coy at a ti like this?
She quickly removed her dress to dry it beside her.
Before, Sha Beibei's wet dress clung to her, revealing her curvy figure, but not as clearly as now without it.
Without the dress, Ye Qiu noticed that Sha Beibei's figure was indeed remarkable. Her skin was pale and smooth, like jade, and although certain areas weren't overly pronounced, they were certainly not small.
"What are you looking at!"
Seeing Ye Qiu's eyes fixed on her, Sha Beibei glared at him in mock anger.
"Uh, I wasn't looking..." Ye Qiu felt awkward, like he got caught doing sothing he shouldn't.
"Hmph, your eyes are practically falling out, and you say you weren't looking..."
"Ahem…" Caught red-handed, Ye Qiu knew he couldn't keep up the act and sincerely admitted, "Yeah, your figure is great. I took a few extra glances. It's not like you're losing anything from it!"
"Pervert..."
Ordinarily, if soone said sothing like that, Sha Beibei would be upset. But for so reason, hearing Ye Qiu's candid comnt didn't make her angry at all; instead, it stirred a peculiar feeling inside her, though she couldn't quite describe it.
Sha Beibei wasn't upset; rather, Mia'er seed displeased and asked, "Is my figure not good enough? You didn't even give a glance."
She then puffed her chest as she spoke.
"Uh…" Ye Qiu was speechless. What was this? He was in trouble whether he looked or didn't look. Won truly were an enigma.
But Ye Qiu, with skin as thick as a city wall, wouldn't admit defeat and said, "What's there to look at? If you're bold enough, take it all off!"
"Are you serious?" Mia'er teased, pretending to unfasten her clothes.
This scared Ye Qiu a bit, and he quickly said, "Just kidding, just kidding..."
"All talk, no action," Mia'er teased disdainfully.
Ye Qiu: "..."
Ye Qiu finally realized that Mia'er never intended to strip; she was just teasing him.
I got played by a woman!
Feeling a mix of helplessness and amusent, Ye Qiu hesitated to let Mia'er continue, fearing others might end up seeing as well.
Soon, the delicious sll of the cooked fish filled the beach, and the sound of people swallowing their saliva could be heard. So couldn't wait for the fish to be fully cooked and began devouring it.
"Hot, hot, hot..."
The two won ate the grilled fish Ye Qiu made himself, puffing air to cool it, yet unwilling to spit it out because it was so delicious. To waste it would be a cri!
"Is it really necessary? If it's not enough, I can always catch more," Ye Qiu said, watching the two won.
"Mind your business!"
The two won glared at Ye Qiu and continued eating, not intending to leave any for him.
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, not angry at all. The sight of them made him feel relaxed, dispelling the earlier tension.
Afterward, Ye Qiu went back to the sea and caught a big fish for himself.
About half an hour later, everyone was full, and all the clothes had been dried by the fire. After a brief tidy-up, they approached Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, we're not familiar with this island. Should we explore it? There might be unexpected things inside," they suggested.
Many people looked at Ye Qiu, seeking his opinion.
"That sounds good. Getting to know the island can only benefit us," Ye Qiu agreed with the suggestion and led the two won to follow the group deeper into the forest.
In the forest's depths, the vegetation towered over them. The greenery was lush, and the sunlight couldn't fully penetrate, creating a sowhat oppressive atmosphere.
