Xu Xiaorong also sensed that Hu Yijian was somewhat unreliable, but she chose to temporarily trust him. After all, in her view, Hu Yijian and she were on the same team.

Although she had boldly claimed that she could manage without me, the entire morning had passed, and they only caught so little. She felt embarrassed and blushed, relying on Hu Yijian to hopefully show better performance next time.

When Xu Xiaorong returned to the camp, she saw that I had actually caught so many fish and brought back freshwater bamboo tubes. Her eyes widened in surprise.

Although Xu Xiaorong didn't say much, from her expression, I knew that she was secretly admiring me. At least, the disdainful and contemptuous look she initially gave me had disappeared from her eyes.

I will make you all understand that to survive on this deserted island, you still have to rely on me!

Silently contemplating this, I quickly started grilling the fish on the bonfire, and everyone enjoyed the meal, feeling very satisfied.

"I'm not worse than this kid at catching fish. Tomorrow, I'll go catch fish too!" After being full, Hu Yijian started boasting again.

I looked at him with cold eyes, saying nothing.

However, upon hearing this, Xu Xiaorong's expectation for him rekindled, and she enthusiastically chatted with Hu Yijian again. Qianyi also showed an admiring look toward this guy.

Feeling nauseated, I thought about how Xu Xiaorong, being a rich girl, was inexperienced and naive, easily deceived by Hu Yijian's sweet talk. That was quite normal.

But Qianyi had followed this man for two years. With Qianyi's intelligence, how could she not see through the true colors of this man? Yet, she still displayed such an appearance, evidently trying to please Hu Yijian.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

This made me even more disdainful of Qianyi. Although I was poor, I had my dignity. What was the point of making a lot of money if you had to bow and scrape, giving up all your dignity?

I sighed, feeling that the last trace of affection for Qianyi was also about to disappear.

Hu Yijian looked extremely pleased with the admiration in the eyes of the two women. While they were not paying attention, he even gave me a triumphant glare, harboring deep resentment in his eyes.

I could tell that this guy had been holding a grudge since I hit him yesterday, and he was probably still thinking about getting back at me.

But would I be afraid of this useless guy?

I completely ignored him.

Let him continue to boast. Anyway, I could see that this island was suspicious, and rescue wouldn't come so quickly. This idiot Hu Yijian would sooner or later reveal his true colors.

The more he boasted now, the more miserable he would fall!

However, thinking of Qianyi's current appearance, I felt quite depressed. I stood up and walked towards the jungle.

I wanted to take a stroll and clear my mind.

Following the route I hadn't taken in the morning, I intended to both relax and explore the surroundings to find a safer temporary shelter.

Currently, we were camping on the beach, using a bonfire, which was actually quite unsafe. If the seawater suddenly rose during high tide at night, we might be swept into the sea.

The few supplies we had managed to find would be lost.

Walking around, I didn't discover much, but I saw many small animals, some I recognized, and some I didn't.

However, as I walked, my eyes suddenly lit up. I was surprised to find a small monkey in the tree, holding a woman's shirt in its hands.

The shirt didn't seem too dirty, indicating that the monkey had taken it not long ago.

"Could there be other survivors or supplies nearby?" I felt joyful, immediately searching the area carefully.

Before long, I heard a tired voice muttering curses, "Damn monkey, don't run! Give me back my clothes!"

I followed the voice and saw my supervisor, Su Jie, half-naked in the woods, looking around anxiously.

Apparently, the monkey had taken her shirt, but for some reason, Su Jie's bra was also missing. Her ample bosom was now perfectly exposed in front of me.

Su Jie, twenty-six this year, was in the prime age for women, mature yet not showing signs of aging. Those two soft, ample mounds trembled with each step she took, shaking my heart as if it had missed a beat.
