Survival Tale on a Deserted Island: I and Airline Stewardess

10.Boast

Xu Xiaorong, just now, was so excited to see her acquaintance Hu Yijian that she completely forgot about the weak Qianyi behind her. Now, observing my actions, she realized she had neglected something. She looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Enough, you don't need to apologize. How many foolish things have you done?" I waved my hand dismissively, with an unfriendly tone.

Seeing that I wasn't buying into her excuses, Xu Xiaorong also felt indignant, muttering, "What's the big deal? It's just some food. Tomorrow I'll find more!"

Hu Yijian, resentfully looking at me, then shifted his gaze to Qianyi. "Qianyi, I'm sorry. I was just too hungry, my mind wasn't clear, and I forgot about you. I..."

Qianyi smiled gently at him and unexpectedly took out most of the chocolate from her hands, handing it to him. "It's okay, I don't mind. You can have these."

Seeing this scene, I was truly frustrated. I sat by the campfire, silent.

Deep down, I knew Qianyi still wanted to curry favor with Hu Yijian. After all, even though they ended up stranded on this deserted island, the plane crash was a major national incident. It wouldn't be long before rescue teams arrived, and everyone would return to society. Hu Yijian's background and financial strength made Qianyi still want to please him.

"I vented my anger for you, got myself in a mess, and yet you still ran over to this bald guy..." I kept my head down, feeling extremely annoyed.

Before long, Hu Yijian and the others finished the chocolate, regaining some strength, but they were still hungry.

Xu Xiaorong suggested, "No problem, there are many crabs on the beach, seems like they're large-eyed crabs. Tomorrow, we'll catch some to eat!"

Hu Yijian, pleased, said, "Large-eyed crabs? I know about them. Their burrows are surrounded by sand mounds, easy to catch."

"You know quite a lot!" Xu Xiaorong exclaimed happily.

"Just a little, just a little. Back when I was a professor at the University of California in the United States, I occasionally learned a bit from some biologists," Hu Yijian said, waving his hand with a smile.

"At the University of California? How impressive! What did you teach?" Xu Xiaorong exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't my management of the company excellent? Over in the United States, I was elected an outstanding young entrepreneur, and then they invited me to give lectures. It's just a stroke of luck," Hu Yijian said, becoming more enthusiastic as he spoke.

Both women looked at him admiringly, chatting happily.

I sat silently on the side, not saying a word. Deep down, I knew this guy was just bragging.

Crabs with sand mounds outside their burrows? Those are sand crabs, not large-eyed crabs. And being a professor at the University of California? Pure nonsense. This guy is just good at blowing his own trumpet. His company SoftFruit, I know about it. It's an advertising agency, and their work is often used as a negative example to teach us by our superiors. If not for his uncle and father's connections, his lousy company would have closed down long ago.

In short, this guy is just a useless rich kid. In front of women, he's able to boast sky-high.

When Hu Yijian and Qianyi arrived, it was already the latter part of the night. After a while of fussing around, dawn broke, and the crimson sun rose from the place where the sea and sky met, casting a beautiful reflection on the rippling sea, shimmering with waves.

"It's dawn. Let's go find something to eat!" Xu Xiaorong stretched lazily, saying joyfully. Her stretching revealed her perfect curves, captivating under the morning sun. I found myself staring in a daze.

"When it's time for me to show off, I'm here!" Hu Yijian, eager to impress the beauties, stood up quickly, patted his chest, displaying a confident look.
