Chapter 84: Real Survival on a Deserted Island


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


When Huo Yichen returned, Nan Qiao and Mother Huo pretended that nothing had happened and were talking and laughing.


When Nan Qiao bade farewell, Mother Huo even asked Huo Yichen to send her off.


The two of them strolled along the sidewalk. A breeze blew over and scattered the fallen leaves on the ground. The fragrance of flowers wafted through the air.


“You.”


“You…”


Nan Qiao lowered her head and looked at her feet as she walked. Just as she was about to hit a pedestrian, Huo Yichen grabbed her shoulder and pulled her away.


“Let me talk first. Why haven’t you been to school recently?” Huo Yichen had only hugged Nan Qiao just now when he saw a layer of rouge on the girl’s fair skin.


He quickly let go and pretended that nothing had happened.


“It’s nothing. Something just happened. What did the doctor say about your mother?” Nan Qiao stopped in her tracks and tiptoed to ask.


Huo Yichen’s dark pupils swept across everything on the street. He sat on the chair beside him and lowered his eyes to suppress his emotions. “He didn’t say anything much. It’s just, we’ll delay it as long as we can.”


Mother Huo thought that she had hidden it very well, but Huo Yichen had actually long noticed that something was wrong with her.


“I hope your mother can recover from her illness as soon as possible. If you need any help, you must tell me.” Nan Qiao said it casually, but she did not even believe herself.


Mother Huo had been sick for many years and her body had long been weakened. How could she recover?


“Go home. It’s windy outside.”


Nan Qiao did not wear her hair in a ponytail today. Her black and smooth hair was tied up behind her head with a pink pearl hairband. She looked as beautiful as a little fairy.


Huo Yichen could not help but look at her a few more times.


“Alright, um… will you blame me?”


“Huh?” Huo Yichen snorted in confusion.


“It’s just, you liked Nan Zhi at first, and then Nan Zhi was arrested. Then, you liked Shi Wenwen, and then Shi Wenwen left…”


Nan Qiao felt a little uneasy. Although she no longer needed to work with the big boss, she did not want to acc.u.mulate hatred with him!


Moreover, the big boss had saved her life, but she had chased away the big boss’s love interests one after another. Wasn’t this repaying kindness with ingrat.i.tude?


Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows. How did this misunderstanding form?


Why did she think that he liked those two people?


What right did she have to think that his heart would change so quickly?


What was in her mind?


Huo Yichen did not answer this question. He only poked Nan Qiao’s forehead with his index finger. “Go home.”


“Oh.” Nan Qiao rubbed her forehead. It hurt a little from his poking.


The two of them walked in opposite directions. After taking a few steps, Nan Qiao suddenly thought of something and turned to call out to him.


“Huo Yichen, which university are you planning to go to?”


Huo Yichen turned around and saw the expectant expression on her face. He could not help but smile. “Hui University.”


“Our goals are the same! Let’s work hard together. We must both get into our ideal university!” The smile on the girl’s face gradually bloomed as she waved at him with a bright smile.


Then, she left, getting further and further away.


Huo Yichen did not answer. He only watched her walk further and further away until she turned a corner and could not be seen.


“Okay.”


Unfortunately, the wind could not bring his small voice to Nan Qiao’s ears.


Not long after Nan Qiao left, she called Teacher He.


“Teacher He, didn’t you say that there’s a bonus of 20,000 yuan for partic.i.p.ating in the show? Can you do me a favor?”


The next day, Nan Qiao went to record the show. This episode of Survival was really the same as the theme. It was really survival on a deserted island.


The production team gave everyone two bottles of mineral water and two loaves of bread, an ax and long rope, a small blue bucket, and a simple cooking pot.


There was nothing else. They had to rely on themselves to survive on this island.


This time, the director learned his lesson. After giving them the supplies, he made a gesture to shut up and ran away. He was nowhere to be found.


The guests were left in a mess.


“Looks like we can really only rely on ourselves this time. But there’s nothing to eat at all. There’s just a bottle of water and they actually want us to stay on this deserted island for two days and a night. The production team really knows how to play.”


Xiao Yu really admired the program team. They wouldn’t starve to death even if they couldn’t find any suitable food in two days and one night.


Moreover, they did not know where to sleep at night. Who knew if there would be wild beasts in the forest behind?


“Little Sister, don’t be afraid, Big Brother will protect you. Even if Big Brother doesn’t eat or drink, I won’t let you starve!”


The wind by the sea was strong, so Xian Yu protected Nan Qiao behind him. His hairstyle, which he had spent half an hour doing in the morning, was blown into a chicken coop.


“Big Brother, the most important thing for us to do now is to think of a way to survive. You’re protecting me, but what about everyone?” Nan Qiao walked around the sea and realized that there were some small fish in the sea. Now, the matter of food was settled.


Xian Yu was worried about his Little Sister’s health and kept following behind her. When Nan Qiao turned around, she b.u.mped into his chest.


“Big Brother, let’s have fish for dinner.”


“Sure.” Xian Yu’s thoughts coincided with hers.


Xiao Yu stroked his smooth chin and voiced his concerns. “I can cut down the tree branches, but I might not be able to harpoon the fish.”


After all, this was not a small stream, but a sea. As long as the fish were frightened, they would all run away.


“It’s fine, I have an idea. I just have to trouble Best Actor Xiao to help me cut some bamboo.” Nan Qiao stuck her head out.


“No problem, leave it to me. But why does it sound so strange when you call me Best Actor Xiao? Why don’t you call me Big Brother as well?” Previously, when he partic.i.p.ated in the show, Best Actor Xiao had quite liked this little girl.


Logically speaking, Xian Yu’s sister’s ident.i.ty was definitely not simple, but she did not put on any airs at all. She was not even delicate. When she fell down, she could still get up and comfort Xian Yu.


“Well…” Nan Qiao hesitated.


“No, no! No!” Xian Yu instantly interrupted, blocking their vision.


Absolutely not!


Qiaoqiao already had many Big Brothers. If a few more more came, where would his status be?


Nan Qiao shrugged. “Big Brother won’t let me. But I can call you Brother Xiao like my Big Brother.”


“Alright,” Best Actor Xiao agreed with a smile. He carried his ax and went to cut the bamboo.


Liu Fang and w.a.n.g Yuyan didn’t know each other in the past, but after the two of them stayed together for a night last time, their relationship really improved. At this moment, the two attentive girls said worriedly.


“Our water resources are very low. Two bottles of water per person is not even enough for us to drink, let alone wash up. We can’t possibly wash ourselves with seawater, right?”


“I have an idea that should work.” Nan Qiao subconsciously raised her hand, looking very obedient like a child answering a teacher’s question in cla.s.s.


This action not only amused Xian Yu, but also Liu Fang and w.a.n.g Yuyan.


“Little friend Nan Qiao, you’re not in cla.s.s now. You don’t need to raise your hand to answer questions.”


The last time, this little kid had helped them out, so this caused Liu Fang and w.a.n.g Yuyan to like her very much. However, Xian Yu guarded Nan Qiao like he was protecting a little chick. They could not find any chance to get close to her.


They could only express their kindness with their eyes..
