Chapter 17 Love at First Sight

Luo Yaqin and I looked at each other for a moment, then she suddenly chuckled and said alluringly, "Lu Ziye, you've been on top of me for so long, are you deliberately taking advantage of me?"

I looked at Luo Yaqin's seductive expression and couldn't help but swallow.

Just as I was about to get off her, she grabbed my arm and leaned her head close to my ear, slowly saying, "Don't you know that if you get off me like this, it's an insult to me?"

After speaking, she lightly scratched my palm with her fingernail and blew gently into my ear.

Faced with Luo Yaqin's behavior, my breathing became heavy.

"Luo Yaqin, do you know you're playing with fire!"

Luo Yaqin didn't reply, but let out a provocative laugh and lightly licked my earlobe.

Luo Yaqin's actions were like a spark falling into a powder keg, igniting me instantly.

I panted heavily, about to passionately kiss Luo Yaqin's tempting red lips, when a reprimand suddenly came from behind me: "Lu Ziye, what are you doing!"

Damn it, who the hell is disturbing my good deed at such a crucial moment!

I quickly turned to look back and saw Shangguan Yao standing behind me, looking furious. Guan Hai'er stood beside her, watching me with some nervousness.

Seeing me and Luo Yaqin in disarray, with Luo Yaqin's face still flushed, Shangguan Yao pointed at my nose and said loudly with disdain, "Lu Ziye, have you no shame? You actually want to rape Luo Yaqin here!"

Big sister, are you kidding me!

It was clearly Luo Yaqin who was seducing me.

I looked at Shangguan Yao speechlessly. This person really jumped to conclusions without understanding what happened and posed as a righteous crusader.

"Can't you understand the situation? Luo Yaqin was about to fall. I kindly stopped her, and she pulled me down to the ground!"

At this moment, Guan Hai'er, standing nearby, hesitated and tugged on Shangguan Yao's clothes, whispering, "Sister Shangguan, please don't speak to Brother Ye like that. I believe Brother Ye isn't that kind of person."

Guan Hai'er understands me the best!

Just as I was about to say more, Luo Yaqin, who was beside me, suddenly hugged my arm and said to Shangguan Yao, "It wasn't Lu Ziye trying to rape me. We were just going to be intimate!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yao's eyes seemed about to spew fire. She turned to Luo Yaqin and said, "You've only known each other for a day, how can you be so indecent!"

Luo Yaqin hugged my arm even tighter and said provocatively, "What if we fell in love at first sight? Are you going to control this too!"

Shangguan Yao was so angry that she couldn't speak. She glared at Luo Yaqin and turned away.

Damn it, I felt a wave of speechlessness.

Shangguan Yao acted as if she had caught us in the act. And I'm not even related to you!

Seeing Shangguan Yao leave, I quickly broke free from Luo Yaqin. Luo Yaqin didn't seem bothered, smiling as she stepped aside.

Guan Hai'er walked over, concerned, "Brother Ye, what happened? Pan Lili just ran back in a huff, and I thought something had happened to you, so I came to look for you with Shangguan Yao."

What was all that about?

I explained everything to Guan Hai'er. She flinched a little upon hearing about the snake and looked at the snake's body on the ground with disgust.

I looked around and felt that the bamboo had been cut sufficiently. I suggested returning to the cave.

When Luo Yaqin heard this, she frowned slightly in pain and said to me, "Lu Ziye, I think I sprained my ankle. I can't walk."

I looked down and saw that Luo Yaqin's ankle was indeed swollen and red.

"Why don't you carry me back?" Luo Yaqin suddenly suggested.

If I carried her back, then everything that happened today would be completely unexplainable!

I was startled by Luo Yaqin's suggestion and quickly asked Guan Hai'er to help her up. I then collected the bamboo from the ground and held it in my arms.

Luo Yaqin gave me a flirtatious glance and said nothing. The three of us walked towards the cave.

As soon as we entered the cave, I saw Shangguan Yao sitting in a corner, sulking, while Pan Lili was talking to her. Li Degui was lying on the ground, fast asleep.

The sight of Li Degui, that lazy dog, made me furious.

You ran away and made me do your work! I'll teach you this lazy habit today!

I put the bamboo by the entrance, stepped forward, and kicked him hard in the backside: "Li Degui, who told you to sneak back!"

Li Degui was kicked and yelped as he sat up. Just as he was about to curse, he saw me staring at him fiercely.

He shivered, and Li Degui instantly sobered up. He sheepishly ran to the bamboo and started fiddling with it.

Good for you, you're smart!

I told Li Degui to dig a pit outside. Under my threat, he obediently ran out.

Holding the bamboo, I examined it. I heated my alloy knife over the fire and quickly made four cuts in the bamboo.

Luo Yaqin walked over curiously and asked in a low voice, "Lu Ziye, what are you doing?"

I smiled mysteriously at her, "You'll find out soon enough. Just watch!"

I picked up a few more bamboo poles from the ground, made several cuts, and inserted them into the gaps between the bamboo poles, then stuffed some dry grass inside.

In a blink of an eye, a densely packed bamboo fence was completed!

"Brother Ye, you're amazing!" Guan Hai'er walked up to me, looking at me with admiration.

Luo Yaqin also covered her mouth in surprise and gave me a thumbs up.

"This is just the beginning!"

I waved to them. A simple windproof fence wasn't enough. We couldn't have someone on guard every night.

I split the remaining bamboo in half, shortened the bottom, and sharpened the ends.

I made seven or eight of these, nodded with satisfaction, and carried them outside.

This time, Li Degui learned his lesson and didn't slack off. He obediently dug a pit at the entrance.

I jumped into the pit with the bamboo spears and inserted them one by one, securing them firmly.

With the bamboo spear pit I had set up, even a tiger would have a hard time if it came in the middle of the night.

I collected some dry grass and covered the pit, completely concealing it.

I clapped my hands. It was done!

However, this bamboo spear pit was in front of the cave. I'd have to tell them later, in case someone accidentally fell in and got injured.

After I had set everything up, I leisurely returned to the cave.

On the third day of being on this island, I finally had a relatively safe base, and I felt a glimmer of hope for the future!
