Lin Enxin was rejected. She looked at the seafood that had been returned and pouted. She was not discouraged and would try again.
Beside her sat Xiao Jiang. She turned and handed the seafood that Gu Shangse had rejected to Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang, having been taught by Jiang Jiang, now knew to use serving chopsticks to pick up food for itself.
However, considering its special nature, Jiang Jiang usually picked up food for it.
When Xiao Jiang received the seafood handed over by Lin Enxin, its eyes sparkled. It took the seafood with both hands and then solicitously offered it to Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang looked at the seafood that had changed hands a few times before reaching him. He looked at Xiao Jiang and communicated with it.
After their exchange, that plate of seafood was awarded to Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang did not understand the complexity of human emotions. Receiving a reward, it was naturally happy to enjoy the gift of delicious food.
Jiang Jiang watched Xiao Jiang eat with great delight, a smile in his eyes.
Since Su Ling had entrusted Xiao Jiang to Jiang Jiang's care, he had truly become more and more qualified, like an older brother taking care of his younger sibling.
What's more, this younger brother was gifted and intelligent, easy to teach, eager to learn, and clingy. Jiang Jiang really liked this little appendage.
Everyone had their own thoughts, happily enjoying the sumptuous feast.
Outside the cafeteria, hailstones continued to fall incessantly, while inside, there was only laughter and cheerful chatter.
When Su Ling and the others finished their meal and returned from the cafeteria to the front yard, preparing to clear away the thick layer of accumulated hailstones, they noticed something was amiss on their way.
What was wrong?
It wasn't just hailstones; there was also a fierce gale.
The wind was so strong that it made the trees bend, unable to stand upright.
Not only did they bend, but some trees couldn't withstand the wind and were directly snapped in half, falling onto the hailstones.
Seeing this, Su Ling and Shang Qi looked at each other, seeing the abnormality in each other's eyes.
The group arrived under the eaves, and everyone divided the labor, starting to tackle the thick layer of hailstones.
Su Ling and Shang Qi went to Jiang Jiang and called him to a quiet spot.
After moving away from everyone else, Su Ling looked at Jiang Jiang and said, "Can you predict again, besides hailstones, are there other extreme weather conditions arriving together?"
The wind was so strong, and the air was filled with the salty smell of the sea. This was not right.
Jiang Jiang heard Su Ling's words and realized the seriousness of the situation. He nodded and began to use his weather-predicting ability.
Xiao Jiang held onto the corner of Jiang Jiang's clothes, looking up at him, showing that it was very worried about Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang used his ability and quickly reached a conclusion. He opened his eyes sharply and looked at Su Ling, "Sister Ling, a tsunami."
From Jiang Jiang's expression, it was clear that he was panicking about the weather he had predicted. He swallowed and said, "A tsunami. In a few hours, our sea island—"
Jiang Jiang didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
"What will happen?" Su Ling looked at Jiang Jiang, awaiting an answer.
Jiang Jiang shook his head, "Sister Ling, I don't know. My ability is weather prediction. I know a tsunami will arrive soon, but I don't know what will happen to our sea island. I only know that this tsunami is very, very big."
"When the tsunami arrives, the sea level will rise. Low-lying areas of the sea island will be submerged by seawater," Shang Qi said. He looked at Su Ling and continued, "This sea island will no longer be our primary choice for a survivor base."
Shang Qi's words were an understatement. After a moment of thought, he continued, "If Jiang Jiang's prediction is true, then we must evacuate. Once the tsunami hits, this entire sea island will not be safe."
