“He’s already gone. No one wants these coconuts anymore.”

“Since no one wants it, I’ll…”

A hint of joy flashed across Wang Qi’s eyes as she muttered to herself. So this was what she had discovered.

Wang Qi quickly went to get one and realized that the coconut had long been opened. Hence, she began to drink from the opening. With water to replenish her energy, she instantly became energetic again.

“Is it sweet?” Li Chen’s voice sounded beside Wang Qi.

“Sweet.” Wang Qi put down the coconut and blurted out in response, looking very satisfied.

After saying this, Wang Qi’s face darkened. She turned around and saw Li Chen behind her. Then, she said angrily, “You did it on purpose!”

“You picked this up. I’m just asking if it’s delicious. What’s wrong?” Li Chen also wanted to give Wang Qi a way out, not wanting the atmosphere to continue being awkward.

With this coconut, Wang Qi’s opinion of Li Chen changed.

Just now, Li Chen had looked around. This island was not very big, but there were still many coconut trees. There were enough coconuts on them to eat, but just coconuts were obviously not enough.

When surviving in the wild, in addition to water, they also needed to replenish protein, vitamins, and so on. These could not be satisfied by just relying on coconuts.

Fortunately, the island was close to the sea. Near the sea, they could go to the sea to catch some fish and shellfish, which would enrich their source of food. However, the most important thing was whether they could find other survivors.

In the wilderness, it was very dangerous to encounter large carnivores. Li Chen looked at the sky. The sun was gradually heading west. It looked like the sky was gradually turning dark.

In this situation, it was not suitable to go out at night, so he could only take advantage of this moment. Therefore, Li Chen took his knife and began to walk towards the sea.

“Where are you going?” Wang Qi frowned and asked when she saw that Li Chen was about to leave again.

“Finding food, or should we starve to death?” Li Chen said.

“Wait for me!” Hearing that, Wang Qi followed closely. She knew that it was dangerous for her to be alone in such a place.

However, Wang Qi began to worry. She was worried that Li Chen would not give her fish after catching it. After all, she had spent a lot of effort just to have him give her a single coconut just now.

Li Chen took the knife to the beach and searched for a suitable spot to fish, hoping to find an unlucky fish waiting to be caught by him.

After a while, he finally found a suitable spot. A few rocks protruded from the surroundings, and the obstruction of the rocks formed a small ditch. As long as he blocked the entrance, it would be very easy to catch fish in a small closed pool.

Li Chen lay on a rock and looked at the small pool. The water was very clear, and he could clearly see a few fish swimming in it. Under the refraction of the sunlight, the fish dazzled Li Chen’s eyes.

He blinked and confirmed again that there were quite a lot of fish. It was enough.

At this moment, Wang Qi was also chasing after him. When Wang Qi saw Li Chen lying on a rock, she knew that Li Chen wanted to catch fish here. She slowly walked over. But because her shoes were not suited for this kind of terrain, it was very difficult for her to walk up.

When Li Chen saw the surrounding environment, he immediately thought of a solution. He quickly went to the beach and searched around. He wanted to find some stones to seal this place. By doing this, it would be much easier to catch fish.

When Wang Qi saw Li Chen’s actions, she did not know what he was thinking. She could only watch as Li Chen busied himself.

“What are you looking at? Come and help me find some stones. Do you want to starve?” Li Chen called out to Wang Qi, who immediately reacted.

However, after searching for a long time, other than sand, he did not find a single stone on the bare beach. Li Chen decided to take the tough approach.

He came to the rock again. Then he took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves, and held his knife tightly in his hand.

Wang Qi looked at what he was planning and did not dare to breathe loudly. At this moment, a fish slowly swam over. It was now!

Li Chen raised his knife and jumped into the water. However, when he raised his knife, it was empty. He did not catch the fish and was still drenched.

“Hahaha, the only fish you can catch are those you slammed to death. Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter.” Li Chen’s actions amused Wang Qi.

“You better pray that I don’t catch any fish. If I do, I’ll let you know what fish smells like!” Li Chen wiped the seawater on his face with his hand and spat out a few mouthfuls as he said to Wang Qi.

“Just you? Don’t joke.” Wang Qi looked unconvinced.

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed it again. The spot was huge, but he did not catch a single fish.

“Are you trying to make me laugh?” Wang Qi said with a smile.

“What do you know? This is called fishing in troubled waters.”

Li Chen could only climb back onto the rock. He knew that this would only waste his time and stamina. He looked at the fish that had just been scared away and swam back. Suddenly, he thought of something.

As Wang Qi watched as Li Chen walked further away, she suddenly looked at the stockings on her legs and immediately thought of something. However, she looked into the distance shyly.

After Wang Qi saw Li Chen running into the forest again, she took off her shoes, wanting to feel the coolness of the seawater. Just as she slowly stretched her feet into the water.

Suddenly, the cold seawater made her body tremble uncontrollably. At the same time, her medium-sized treasure also trembled. Unfortunately, Li Chen did not see this scene.

Wang Qi quickly retreated back to the rock and put on her shoes, giving up on the idea of entering the water.

Looking at the fish swimming in the water, Wang Qi couldn’t help but complain, “Why is it so difficult to catch you?”

At this moment, Li Chen returned with some branches and a long bamboo pole with a sharpened head. Li Chen planned to use this as a harpoon.

Li Chen came to the rock and aimed at the fish in the water. He tested it back and forth and felt that it was not bad, so he planned to continue catching fish.

Wang Qi looked at the branches that Li Chen had brought back and at Li Chen. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she decided not to say it. She pushed back and gave the spot near the water to Li Chen.

Wang Qi found a place to sit down. Because she was wearing a uniform, she could only curl up her legs and sit down. However, one could still see her slender legs, which would subtly attract one to look deeper. This scene was indeed a little too much.

Li Chen glanced at Wang Qi and his gaze landed at the right place. However, he quickly shifted his gaze, not daring to look anymore. He was afraid that something would happen.

This time, Li Chen carefully walked into the water. Then, he stood still and waited for the fish to approach him. His eyes revealed determination as he stabbed in.

Li Chen’s heart tightened. He did not know if he had gained anything. This action just now had caused water to splash everywhere, so he did not see if it had hit. He quickly raised the harpoon.

There was nothing on it. Li Chen was a little disappointed.

“Hahaha, you really are. No wonder they said you…”
