Chapter 5: Wild Sweet Potatoes

On the desert island, we still have to depend on each other. After we go back, we have to continue to get along with each other in the company, so I hold back. Walking along the coastline without saying a word.

In my impression, there should be a lot of coconut and banana trees on the beach, but apart from some tall hardwoods, there is really nothing to eat on this island.

After walking for more than two kilometers, the temperature began to rise rapidly. The front is an endless coastline. The island has thousands of square kilometers. There are towering mountains in the north-central part of the island. There may be food there, but we didn’t have the energy to find it all the time, and last night, the beast is also terrifying.

After confirming that there would be no harvest on the coastline, I decided to take a walk in the woods. The guy in last night should be out at night and rest in the cave during the day.

The trees on the island are the same, not strong, but very tall, and the ground is relatively clean, and some shrubs, weeds and vines grow here. But the ground is not flat. There is no trace of any animals at all.

When I came to a bare rock, I sat down and planned to rest for a while. When I looked bored, I suddenly saw a section of the vine that looked like yam exposed on the ground.

With a fluke, I folded a stick and digging hard. It didn't go deep and found that there was a nest inside, just like potatoes and sweet potatoes. I folded the section that was exposed on the ground, and after biting open the skin, I found that the meat inside was snow-white, very similar to sweet potatoes. One bite, crisp and juicy. It is also the same taste as the sweet potatoes that I ate when I was young.

This made me so happy that I discovered wild sweet potatoes here. When I found something to eat, I naturally had motivation. I dug vigorously until there was a big hole to get out all the nests of sweet potatoes. They all grew on a vine, and they looked like two or three catties. It's just relatively small.

After digging it out, I held it and ran out of the forest. Before returning to the fire, I saw Li Wanxue sitting there wiping tears.

I raised the wild sweet potatoes in my hand and shouted excitedly; "Don't cry, I find it and we can eat it."

She turned her back in a hurry, wiped away the tears, and stood up in front of me, only took a look, then took off one and stuffed it in her mouth. I quickly dropped the pile in my hand, pulled her wrist and said, "It hasn't been washed yet. Let's go to the beach to wash and eat them. Just bear for a while."

She nodded and laughed happily, tears still glowing in her eyes.

The island is full of sand and mud, and the mud and sand on the wild sweet potatoes can be easily washed away. After washing everything, she asked eagerly: "Can we eat it?"

"Okay, the wild ones are clean. Just eat them." I picked up one and took a big bite. I never thought sweet potatoes could be so delicious.

Seeing that she was eating quickly, I asked her to eat slowly. We hadn't eaten all day and night. If we eat wholeheartedly, the stomach will definitely not be able to bear it.

"It's so delicious, like a fruit." Her smile was sweet enough to melt people away.

"You look so good to smile." When I was in the company, I never saw her smile at all.

"Fuck you." She lowered her head and chewed.

I packed up the wild sweet potatoes and greeted her to walk back together. This pile of wild sweet potatoes is enough for us to eat all day. With food, we can free up time to do something else.

After filling our stomachs, she suggested that we go find sweet potatoes together and store more. By this way we won’t go hungry anymore. I decided to build a shack first. She is not suitable for walking in the woods in high heels.

I went back to the woods alone, pressed the vines against the tree trunks with rocks and broke them. After making a big circle, I returned to the fire and continued searching for trees that might have been blown down by the typhoon. An open space was found not far from the fire, and the surrounding trees were used to construct a shack frame. Spread branches on the top, surrounded with vines in a circle, and then insert the branches, and a simple shack is completed.

It looked simple, but it took a lot of efforts to do it, and it took a whole morning. After spreading leaves in the shack, I went straight in and lay down. Little by little sunlight leaked in through the gap.

"There is finally a place to shelter now, and the rescue will come soon." Li Wanxue said while bending over to enter.

I raised my head, for fear that she would stand up straight and push down the branches of the roof. What I was worried about did not happen, but it was easy to appreciate the scenery in her chest again.

She sat down on the other side of the shack, hugged her knees, and said without any sign: "Lu Fei, I told you, I really didn't lie to you. You can't judge a person's quality from a person's clothes. How to wear clothes is only related to a person's aesthetic concept."

She explained repeatedly, which shows that she still cares if I misunderstood her in this matter. But the suspicion in my heart still can't be dispelled completely.

I turned sideways, bit a small tree stick, and pretended to ask casually: "Manager Li, have you really never fallen in love up to now?

"Your figure and appearance, you should know how many people will chase you."

That is to say, I am now living on a desert island, and I have some advantages. Before the change, I didn't dare to ask her although she killed me.

"It's barely been once, but that can't be regarded as a true relationship." Her shell teeth bit on her red lips, with an unnoticeable hatred: "That guy lied to me, at that time I was still in college. Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it, and I don’t want to mention that."

"Because of that guy, you won't have the mind to fall in love in the future?" If she didn't say that it would be okay, but my curiosity became stronger when she said that.

"Yeah." She nodded: "That incident hit me so hard. From then on I don't believe in men anymore. Every man seems like a bad person."

"Then why don't you hate me?" Thinking of what happened yesterday, she should have gritted her teeth hate me.

She turned her head and chuckled. The smile was so brief that it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"When I first woke up, I thought you were trying to take advantage of me. When I was awake, I understood what was going on. I hate what you do. I didn't expect you to be so good to me. I was afraid that you would take the opportunity to retaliate me."

I laughed, and she laughed again, with a natural smile.

I said, "I didn't expect to be able to chat with you so comfortably. You used to be cold. I think you should be very tired? Don't you have very few friends in your life?"

She nodded and moved her hair to her right shoulder: "Yes, if you don't have a romantic life, you can only spend all your energy on work. By the way, after you go back, you are not allowed to be in front of your colleagues to expose me."

I persuaded: "Why do you make yourself so tired? Relax. Isn't it good to get along with everyone?"

She sneered, with contempt in her eyes: "You don't understand, nothing is more complicated than a human heart. You took care of me on the island, and I will take care of you when I go back. Just don't forget our agreement."

I know that her character has lasted for a long time, and it can't be changed in a short while. There is no more to say. Drilling out of the shack, I picked up a few large wild sweet potatoes, buried them in the ashes by the fire, and roasted them.

She came out soon too, put her hand on my shoulder, touched her one-step skirt with the other hand, and sat down, her legs elegantly slanted and merged together.
