Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Return to the Holand!
Jiang Li had also received the updated rankings.
As expected,
she was still last.
Second to last was still Jiang Yan.
She guessed that guy must have blown all the one hundred points he had just received.
Then, she saw the nas Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan, and her brows involuntarily furrowed sharply.
Those two again…
Was she truly unable to escape the fate of being the cannon fodder female supporting character? Wherever she went, she would run into the male and female leads.
But aside from these two, there was another person who likewise caught her attention.
“Xu Cheng…”
Jiang Li murmured the na of the boy ranked in the 20s, feeling as though she had heard it sowhere before.
But the na was quite common, so she didn’t dwell on it and continued walking deeper into the island.
Not long after, she stopped, picked up a stone at her feet, and threw it into the bushes behind her.
With a “bang”—a muffled groan echoed from the bushes, followed by a familiar figure clutching his head as he erged.
“Miss Jiang, that was a bit too harsh. If I hadn’t dodged a bit, I might have been eliminated by now,” he said.
Jiang Li couldn’t help but find the sight of Yu Li before her sowhat amusing.
“Then why were you following ?”
Yu Li sighed, sowhat helplessly, “Isn’t it because I wanted Miss Jiang to take in for a bit?”
“Did they kick you out as well?”
“No.” Yu Li shook his head, “I chose to leave.”
Guan Xiong and the others knew he was a doctor and originally wanted to keep him, but he sternly refused.
In the end, he handed over all his remaining points to them before he was able to leave.
“Rather than staying with people I don’t like, I’d much rather be on the sa team as Miss Jiang, especially since we have to survive on this deserted island for a month,” said Yu Li sincerely.
[!!! Does this an Sister Li is the person Dean Yu likes?!]
[Ahhh this is too sweet, who says academics can’t be romantic?!]
[It’s over for , I get into a variety show and imdiately want to ship Lili with a new partner. I was just shipping her with Luo Xingmu during the ‘Night Walk’ behind-the-scenes clips.]
[Right, our Sister Li is truly a versatile female lead!]
In the lounge, Zhou Xu carefully glanced at his boss.
Sure enough, his boss’s face had darkened to the extre as he watched the screen.
The next second, Zhou Xu saw his boss report the comnt shipping Jiang Li and Yu Li with anger.
Zhou Xu: “…”
Boss, are you a primary school student?
“Aiya Boss, why care so much? It’s just teaming up for a competition; the real goal is still to win, isn’t it?” Zhou Xu tried to console.
“Is it?” Zhao Lang’s mood slightly improved.
“Of course, at most it’s just a single man and a single woman living together in the wilderness for a month, nothing will happen.”
Zhao Lang: “…”
Zhou Xu continued: “And Yu Li seems like a decent guy, a true gentleman. He probably won’t do anything, and that fortune-teller lady seems to like him quite a bit. They’ll probably get along just fine, I guess.”
Zhao Lang: “…”
Zhou Xu: “Think about it, Boss. This way, if the fortune-teller lady happens to face any danger, soone will be there to protect her right away.”
Zhao Lang stood up abruptly, his face grim.
Zhou Xu also stood up, asking sowhat nervously, “Wh-what’s wrong? Did I say sothing wrong?”
“Heh.” Zhao Lang’s cold eyes turned to him, “No, you didn’t say anything wrong. You’ve helped completely clear my mind about sothing.”
“What’s that?”
“Going back to China.”
Zhou Xu: ???
…
…
anwhile, in a poor district in South Africa.
“Yu, this is your paycheck. Count it,” the plump black woman, speaking in not so fluent English, told the handso man before her.
Jiang Mingyu took the envelope and carefully counted it, unexpectedly finding it contained a few hundred more dollars than he’d anticipated.
He looked at the owner with a hint of surprise.
The woman smiled and said, “In the few months you’ve been here, our restaurant’s turnover has increased several tis over. This is what you deserve. Also, I heard you’re going back to your country, right? I’ve had soone take care of renewing your visa and all, but it’s difficult to catch a flight here, so you might as well take a ship.”
Jiang Mingyu’s eyes reddened with emotion.
“Thank you, thank you so much, boss. You are my lifesaver!”
Heaven knows what kind of days he had spent in South Africa these past few months.
He had written more than a dozen letters back ho, all of which had vanished without a trace, and all of his calls had gone unanswered.
He almost thought he had been abandoned.
This ti, he was determined to return ho no matter what!
After quickly packing his luggage, Jiang Mingyu set off for the port.
Just past noon, the dust-covered ground seed especially peaceful and solid under the sunlight.
However, just as he was about to board the ocean-liner, a burst of intense gunfire erupted from behind.
Screams started to rise from the crowd, and people, both adults and children, scattered in all directions.
Standing on the shore, Jiang Mingyu watched the commotion among the people, his heart initially in turmoil, but then settling back into calmness.
—It seed he couldn’t return, at least for the ti being…
…
…
Dragon Ridge Island.
After a minute of standoff, Jiang Li finally spoke again.
“Do you really have to follow ?”
Yu Li nodded.
“But I don’t want any trouble,” Jiang Li stood firm, “nor do I want to support idlers.”
Her goal was clear.
That was to compete for first place and win the prize money.
From the start, Zheng Xun had intentionally used the rules to confine everyone, leading them to overlook a crucial issue—
That ultimately, only one person could erge victorious on this island.
Not a team.
The more people she had, the more of a burden it was for her.
But Yu Li clearly had no intention of leaving; he simply stood by Jiang Li’s side and sighed deeply.
“What to do then? I’ve already given away my points, and other than you, I doubt anyone else would take in.”
“Besides, I’m not idle. If you accidentally get bitten by so snake or insect in this forest, I can save your life at a critical mont.”
Jiang Li: “…”
Why couldn’t this man say anything positive?
But on second thought, as a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese dicine, Yu Li did have more pharmacological knowledge and clinical experience than her, and as a man, he also had the advantage in physical strength.
Having him by her side might not be a bad idea after all.
After weighing it for a mont, Jiang Li nodded, “Alright, you can co with .”
Yu Li finally showed a smile.
“Okay, Captain Jiang, what shall we do next?”
“Find a water source, solve lunch.”
Water is the source of life.
Currently penniless and unard, their first task was to address their physiological needs.
And water was undoubtedly the most important.
The spring they had found earlier was now exposed and had been thoroughly claid by Team A. There was no chance of competing for it anymore.
They had to find a new one.
However, she had scouted ahead and knew that the spring was only a remnant from the last rainy season.
Once the high-temperature days arrived, it would dry up within days.
Even if Team A hoarded it, they wouldn’t enjoy it for long.
