"Alright, what do you have to trade for it?" Qiao Ci asked, keeping a safe distance as he approached. When he was about a meter away, she quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop. You can say whatever you want from there."
Gong Han froze. He really stopped and looked at Qiao Ci, feeling like she was different.
In the past, when he got close to her, she liked it but was also shy. After they broke up, he deliberately kept his distance from Qiao Ci to avoid any misunderstanding from Lin Yinyin.
Having been ignored by him for so long, she should have been overjoyed that he was talking to her now.
Shouldn't she be grateful and give him a lobster if he asked for one? She actually wanted him to trade for it?
Gong Han frowned, displeased.
But since he had already spoken, and calculating his remaining supplies, he said in a condescending tone, "I'll trade you a coconut."
"Not trading," Qiao Ci refused decisively, then picked up her two large lobsters and headed for the tent.
【'Some Ci,' are you trying to die, daring to reject my male god!】
【What the hell, what devilry is Qiao Ci pulling now? Didn't she hear my Gong Ge wanting to trade supplies with her? Shouldn't she hurry up and kneel to offer it!】 Kuaishu.com
【My male god was rejected, boo hoo...】
【Am I the only one curious how she caught such big lobsters?】
【Speaking of which, trading a coconut for a big lobster is clearly a losing deal. What's with Gong Han's condescending look.】
【Unappreciative.】
Still stunned by the rejection, Gong Han watched as Lin Yinyin couldn't sit still. She quickly stepped forward, her voice soft and gentle, "Sister Qiao Ci, you're so amazing. You definitely can't finish these two big lobsters, right?"
Qiao Ci stopped and said with a displeased look, "Do you know what happened to the last person who called me sister?"
"No, no, Host, calm down! This is a civilized society, hitting people is illegal. Besides, there are two of them, and you no longer have your profound internal energy. You'll be at a disadvantage in a fight!" Before Lin Yinyin could speak, Little Spoon quickly jumped out to dissuade her.
Lin Yinyin's eyes immediately welled up with tears, feeling wronged. Gong Han was about to stand up for his beloved when Qiao Ci spoke again:
"Also, you're 23 this year, a year older than me. Is it appropriate to call me sister? And in the future, when you speak to me, remember to straighten your tongue. Otherwise, it's quite uncomfortable to get goosebumps all over. Thank you." Qiao Ci said this seriously and politely.
After speaking, she didn't forget to ask Little Spoon, "How was that? Civilized enough?"
"Host, you're amazing! Host, you're civil and polite, I love it, I love it. Little Spoon will rally behind you!" Having experienced the brutality of Empress Qiao Ci, Little Spoon felt she had done very well and quickly praised her.
Gong Han couldn't stand it: "Yinyin calling you sister is out of respect for you. How can you talk to her like that."
"Respect me by stealing my boyfriend?" Qiao Ci glanced at him.
"Please watch your words. We never dated, so there's no question of stealing. Moreover, Yinyin and I are clean. I am currently pursuing her, and she hasn't agreed to be my girlfriend yet," Gong Han said righteously.
"Heh." Qiao Ci gave him two meaningful glances, neither confirming nor denying.
"Are you going to trade the lobsters or not? It's so hot, and it'll be a waste if you can't finish them," Gong Han said impatiently. He wasn't afraid of her exposing their past relationship in public; after all, he had deleted all their previous relationship records, and no one would believe her.
"Don't you have ears? Not trading. Because your coconut is not equal in value to my lobsters. Besides, whether I waste food or not has nothing to do with you. If you want to eat, go catch it yourself." She then weighed the large lobsters in her hands and muttered to herself, "I really might not be able to finish them..."
Lin Yinyin's eyes lit up, thinking there was still a chance. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Ci tightened her right hand on the tail of the slightly smaller lobster, gathered some strength, and directly threw that lobster back into the sea.
Gong Han: ...
Lin Yinyin: ...
"Qiao Ci, you've gone too far!" Gong Han roared. She didn't even give it to him; he had never been so humiliated.
Lin Yinyin also looked at Qiao Ci with disapproval.
"How have I gone too far? Can't I put it back in the sea to grow for later if I can't finish it? Disperse, everyone, disperse. Don't disturb my meal." After speaking, Qiao Ci didn't give the two of them a chance to speak again, picked up the lobsters, and strode away.
The live broadcast's bullet comments exploded.
【Advising someone not to bite the hand that feeds them.】
【Good heavens, throwing it away instead of giving it to you, a real-life dramatic performance.】
【Qiao Ci is too disgusting, doesn't even understand the basic concept of mutual help. Has she forgotten she was starving a few days ago?】
【This show is all about each person's own ability. Although Qiao Ci is unethical, I'm on her side this time.】
【Sister is so cool, I love it!】
【The one above, a certain washed-up actress doesn't like people calling her sister. I heard there are consequences...】
【The one above, I'm 13 this year, not 23. What's wrong with calling you sister.】
【Pfft~ Hahaha, I suspect the one above is subtly alluding.】
【With two such big lobsters, Sister definitely can't finish them... haha】
While the bullet comments discussing Qiao Ci were flying, the protagonist herself was enthusiastically eating lobster.
Qiao Ci's cooking skills were not good, but she knew how to boil a big lobster. She asked Little Spoon for some seasoning and ate with gusto.
The feeling of fullness made her mood much better. The original host had a small stomach and got full easily. Seeing that there were still two large claws and more than half of the lobster tail left, she got up, wrapped them in a larger leaf, and prepared to give them to Cui Qing, who had given her food before.
Cui Qing's eyes lit up with longing upon seeing the lobster meat. Today, she and Wen He hadn't found much to eat, only some sour wild fruits, and she was starving.
Seeing Qiao Ci's face, which had thinned significantly in just three days, she suppressed the urge to reach out: "You keep it and eat it yourself. Food is hard to find here."
"I'm full. This is what's left. It'll spoil if I don't eat it." Qiao Ci handed the lobster to Cui Qing and turned to leave.
When Wen He returned and saw the intact large shrimp claws and meat, Cui Qing quickly explained, "Qiao Ci gave them to me."
"She's a pretty good young girl, with acting skills and talent, but she ruined her career by being obsessed with a man. Sigh, she's not having an easy time alone. We should help her out if we can in the future," Wen He sighed. "However, the help we can provide is limited. Don't be too soft-hearted. The resources here are too scarce, and we don't even know how many days we can last."
Although there was plenty of food in the sea, no one dared to take risks easily. After all, this was a deserted island, and the surrounding waters were undeveloped. You never knew what was inside.
Cui Qing nodded.
By this time, it was getting dark. Qiao Ci returned to her tent and looked at the tent situated right by the sea, lost in thought.
The original host had no teammates and no common sense, placing her tent so close to the sea. If a crocodile came in the middle of the night and dragged her away, no one would know.
In fact, on the tenth day, a crocodile did attack the tent at night. However, the original host was lucky; she had gone out to relieve herself. When she returned, she found that more than half of the tent had been dragged into the sea, and a crocodile was biting tightly onto the tent, scaring her so much that she almost collapsed.
