“Calm… calm down. Don’t come forward! I’m not here to make trouble! I’m here to make a friendly trade!”

Xiao Gu quickly explained. He dodged the attack, or else he might have been stabbed in the head.

“Friendly trade?” Qiao Yuran sized up Xiao Gu. This guy came empty-handed, and he still dared to say that he came for a trade. He must be lying.

“Humph, we don’t want to. I am warning you now, if you don’t leave now, we’ll stab you!”

Xiao Gu smiled bitterly. These women were never polite to me.

The three women looked at each other. Now they were experienced, they weren’t timid anymore. They held wooden spears in their hands and forced Xiao Gu to go back.

Chang Yuan came down from the outlook with a few raw sea fish in his hands.

“Wait!”

Chang Yuan stopped them.

Zhuo Qianqian glared at Chang Yuan. “Don’t tell me you want to give him food. Have you forgotten how they treated us?”

Even the gentle and kind Tong Wei was also puzzled by Chang Yuan’s behavior. These people were too despicable. Chang Yuan shouldn’t have helped them.

Chang Yuan knew it, but he had some other plans.

“Xiao Gu, right?” He called out.

Xiao Gu stared at the three raw sea fish in Chang Yuan’s hands. His gaze was so greedy, as if they were his food already.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

He answered without thinking.

Chang Yuan walked in front of Xiao Gu and casually glanced at him. He had guessed that Xiao Gu was sent by his group to look for food.

It would be a surprise if people like he could find any food. He was probably an office guy who sat in the office all day and kept flattering his boss.

The three women didn’t know what was on Chang Yuan’s mind. They watched anxiously from the side.

“Do you want food?” Chang Yuan asked.

Xiao Gu nodded eagerly.

Although Chang Yuan had been pacing back and forth, Xiao Gu’s eyes only followed the fish in his hand.

“Did you just say, trade?” Chang Yuan asked. Xiao Gu was slightly stunned at first, then he nodded. Chang Yuan continued, “I will not give you any food for free. But I can do a trade, but it must be fair!”

“Otherwise, what if you pick a rock and trade with me for food? Do you agree?”

Chang Yuan’s words made sense. Xiao Gu nodded. Knowing that the exchange of food was possible, he began to fumble in his pocket.

He took out a lighter, a dead cell phone and half a box of cigarettes.

“That’s all I have. See if you can trade…”

Chang Yuan looked at them and frowned. “These things of yours… other than the lighter, the rest are all useless! They’re completely useless!”

Behind Chang Yuan, Zhuo Qianqian added cleverly, “That’s right, they’re not as valuable as a piece of clothing!”

Xiao Gu understood immediately and quickly took off his shirt.

Because Xiao Gu was on a business trip, he had been wearing a formal suit. However, he had lost his coat and only had a dirty white shirt on.

“Forget it. I will do you a favor and trade with you.” Chang Yuan stopped Xiao Gu before he was about to take off his pants.

He gave Xiao Gu the three fish in exchange of a lighter, a dead phone, half a pack of cigarettes, and a shirt.

Xiao Gu happily took fish and was ready to leave.

“Wait, you are always welcome to trade with me! If you are out of food again, come to me!” Chang Yuan shouted at Xiao Gu when he was walking far away.

Xiao Gu was touched by Chang Yuan’s words. This guy was practically a life-saving bodhisattva.

Chang Yuan knew that they were short of food, and he was so kind to trade with him.

That phone was a trash to Xiao Gu. He could even exchange it for three fish. It was really a good trade.

By the time Xiao Gu was out of sight, the sky had already darkened.

The three women laughed secretly. Chang Yuan was so cunning, he tricked Xiao Gu into trading his shirt with him.

However, Tong Wei looked a little disappointed. “We can’t charge the phone on a deserted island. It’s literally a piece of trash! I’m still worry when someone will come to save us!”

Hearing Tong Wei’s words, the other two women were dispirited.

Chang Yuan completely ignored the three of them. “Why are you thinking so much? You should do something useful!”

As Chang Yuan spoke, he kept the phone in his storage box.

Chang Yuan knew that the toolbox on the beach and knew how to fix the phone, but the daylight had faded. He decided to wait until tomorrow.

After spending days together, Chang Yuan and the three women understood each other quite well.

Although Zhuo Qianqian still liked to go against Chang Yuan as usual, she would listen to him at critical moments.

Furthermore, Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran knew that Zhuo Qianqian was strong. When Chang Yuan was not around, they all listened to her. After a while, Zhuo Qianqian had become the number two leader in the team. It could be seen from how they slept at night.

Chang Yuan slept on one side, and the three women were on the other side. The person closest to Chang Yuan was Zhuo Qianqian. When she slept, she held a long spear in her hand and pointed the spearhead in Chang Yuan’s direction.

This made Chang Yuan speechless.

Why was she so cautious? Did she really hate her that much?

“Hey, don’t keep pointing the spearhead at me, okay? It’s very dangerous! I don’t feel safe. If I turn over, I might get stabbed and die!” Chang Yuan protested helplessly.

“Hmph, If I don’t point the spearhead at you, the three of us don’t feel safe!”

“Forget it. I could not win the argument against three women. I’ll just sleep.” Chang Yuan thought angrily.

The wind from the sea was still howling at night. The bonfire in the cave that was used to keep them warm was gradually burning out, and the temperature started to drop

Chang Yuan woke up because of the coldness. He saw the three women snuggled together and wanted to join them to keep himself warm. However, when he thought of the kick he got last night, he decided to stay put.

He pulled the lifeboat over and covered himself with it and fell asleep.

When he woke up next morning, to his surprise, he found the lifeboat on top of the three women.

Chang Yuan was speechless. He was treated miserably by them.

Director Zhang and his men were even worse off than Chang Yuan. Their night was terrible.

Last night, when Xiao Gu brought the three fish back to the camp, he was thrilled. He thought that he would be praised by Liu Yufan, instead, he was harshly criticized.

Liu Yufan, the plastic woman, criticized him harshly, “Why did you only get three fishes? It’s not enough for the three of us?”

“Exactly, you were gone for an entire day, but that’s all you’ve got? Are you trying to starve us to death?” Li Wei also complained.

Xiao Gu did not know how to retort them.

He had given up his shirt and was almost freezing to death just to exchange some food for them.. How could they criticize him?
