In this situation, the only option was to rinse with seawater!
If seawater was collected in bottles and used to wash near the campsite, it would perfectly preserve the seeds.
Ning Shu was at a loss: "What should we do?"
Lu Zhe sternly said: "Class monitor, find a few clean bottles and collect some seawater!"
He also told Jiang Yao: "Yao Yao, go find a few large broad leaves, the kind that are whole."
Finally, he arranged Lin Qianqian: "Qian Qian, choose a softer material bottle and poke a small hole in the tip with a pen!"
"No time to explain too much, everyone do as I say right away!"
Seeing Lu Zhe so serious, the three girls knew this was no trivial matter and hurried to comply.
Tang Xiaoguo cried: "What about me?"
Lu Zhe pointed at her belly: "Any more?"
Tang Xiaoguo pitifully nodded!
"Can you still squat?"
Tang Xiaoguo pouted and shook her head!
Just then, Jiang Yao had brought the broad leaves!
Lu Zhe spread the leaves on the sandy beach: "Stand on them and take off anything soiled."
"How to take them off!"
Tang Xiaoguo anxiously stamped her feet.
Seeing her dilemma, Lu Zhe turned his back: "You can do it now, right?"
She could, but the once self-proclaimed little fairy Tang Xiaoguo had been utterly humiliated!
She now wished she could become a hermit crab, crawl into a shell, then burrow into the sand and never come out again!
But there was no other way!
The feeling of collapse in her stomach made her have no choice but to give in!
A few minutes later, she finally completed this epic social death task!
Then, Ning Shu and Qian Qian also prepared the seawater and bottles!
"Fill the pierced bottle with seawater, then squeeze it to rinse Xiaoguo's body!"
"Oh, okay!" Ning Shu hurried to comply, but after filling halfway, she puzzledly asked: "Why not just let Xiaoguo wash in the sea?"
Lin Qianqian noticed the key point and whispered: "I guess it's to avoid washing away the seeds!"
Squeezing the bottle, the seawater stream hit Tang Xiaoguo's body, washing away the filth that fell onto the leaves!
The gentle sea breeze blew away the unpleasant smell, making it not as awkward.
At this time, Lu Zhe had washed his hands clean in the sea and continued processing the snake meat!
He hung the snake skin on a tree branch, scooped out all the internal organs into a broken plastic bag!
Then he found the large kelp gathered earlier, wrapped the white and fleshy snake neatly with the kelp, then bound it section by section with the snake skin cords into a kelp snake meat roll!
Finally, he circled the kelp snake around the campfire!
The heat evenly transferred to the kelp and snake meat. Soon, the meaty aroma wafted out.
Tang Xiaoguo went to wash herself thoroughly several times by the seaside. She was clean now, but her clothes were all stained with filth!
Qian Qian lent her own khaki cardigan.
But it only covered the top, she couldn't have nothing on below!
Tang Xiaoguo kept pulling down the cardigan hem, awkwardly indecent.
The girls all looked at each other, also at a loss what to do!
Just then, a pair of shorts flew over!
"If you don't mind, you can wear mine!"
Tang Xiaoguo blankly picked them up - they were Lu Zhe’s athletic shorts!
"Guy shorts..."
No, he gave me his shorts, so what is he wearing?
Glancing back at Lu Zhe, he had actually put those snake-wrapped pants back on.
Tang Xiaoguo looked up at Lu Zhe, a nameless feeling of gratitude welled up in her heart!
"Even though he saw me in so many embarrassing situations, he still doesn't dislike me... It seems among all the girls, I'm still the most important to him..."
She pressed her lips, sweetly moved inside!
Soon she put on Lu Zhe’s shorts, cinching the waist tie tight!
Wearing the cardigan and shorts, though a bit big on her, was so much more comfortable than wearing a dress!
Clean again, her mood also perked up!
"Lu Zhe...thank you!" This time, Tang Xiaoguo’s thanks were sincere!
Yet Lu Zhe’s response was:
"Now you should be able to pick out the seeds yourself, right?"
Tang Xiaoguo: "......"
Yes!
She had expected sincere thanks would lead to magnanimous understanding, reconciling to become confidant friends!
Then, because the girl doesn't dislike wearing the guy's shorts, it would make him develop feelings beyond friendship into a passionate romance!
Those sweet romantic dramas all write like this!
And then, be rescued together, graduate together, apply for postgrad together!
With classmates’ blessings, walk into marital bliss!
The bridesmaids would definitely be Class Monitor, Qian Qian and Jiang Yao!
After all, they have revolutionary friendship here!
After marrying, don’t get pregnant right away. Spend three years traveling the world. Have a son and daughter in the fourth year. The son, a bit stronger than Lu Zhe, called Sheng Zhe. The daughter, as cute as me, called Ai Guo...
Yes!
The moment Tang Xiaoguo put on Lu Zhe’s shorts, she had even decided their future kids’ names!
Yet Lu Zhe’s words ruthlessly dragged her romantic fantasies back to reality!
Finding seeds...
She still had to endure what her age shouldn’t endure!
Oh well, it was all for love!
She returned to the broad leaf nearby, the yellow filthy water on it.
On top floated some black “sesame seed-sized” dots - were these the strawberry seeds?
She steeled herself a moment, then picked up a small stick, squatted down!
Pinching her nose in one hand, stick in the other, she picked the “sesame seeds” one by one onto tissue, wiping them clean!
Finally, no more floating black “sesame seeds” could be seen. Tang Xiaoguo wept buckets!
It was finally over!
She found another stick to dig a small pit in the sand to bury the broad leaf and filthy water.
An innocent hermit crab was also accidentally buried. She could only apologize: “Sorry, little hermit crab!”
But she saw the hermit crab touch the yellow stuff and instead of escaping, extended its little pincers and happily started eating!
Tang Xiaoguo was so dumbfounded she yelled out, feeling her whole body was abnormal. She instantly developed a psychological shadow about hermit crabs!
In any case, the toughest task was done!
She went before Lu Zhe, shyly handing over the seed packet: “I...I finished my task!”
Lu Zhe took it and looked inside, estimating over 30 grains, each seed wiped clean.
He nodded satisfied: “Xiaoguo, well done!”
Ning Shu joked: “That’s right, only sweet little fairy Xiaoguo’s belly could preserve lovely strawberry seeds!”
“Class Monitor, stop teasing...”
Tang Xiaoguo pouted: “I really never want to eat foods with seeds again my whole life!”
Just then, the sun had completely set below the sea line and the moon had emerged!
