Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "I was awakened by Xiaoguo's cries for help! When I woke up, I was under a big tree. I guess I survived because the branches and open fields cushioned my fall!"
"What about her?" Lu Zhe asked, pointing at Tang Xiaoguo.
"She got lucky and got caught in a tree when she fell," Ning Shu replied.
"Did you run into Jiang Yao?" Lu Zhe asked.
Jiang Yao was Lu Zhe's high school deskmate. They went to the same university and were dance partners in their club.
Hearing Lu Zhe ask about Jiang Yao's situation, Tang Xiaoguo was a little unhappy: "Don't know."
Ning Shu also said, "After I rescued Xiaoguo, the two of us walked towards the beach. We didn't get very far before we ran into you guys!"
"I see..." Lu Zhe nodded and also gave a detailed account of how he found Lin Qianqian.
Ning Shu nodded: "But the scene at the time was indeed easy to misinterpret!"
Lu Zhe sighed, "Unhealthy thoughts lead to seeing issues everywhere."
"Lu Zhe, do you miss our class president's fingers, huh?" Ning Shu stretched out her hand to pinch Lu Zhe.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhe looked up to the sky and sighed, "Go ahead and pinch me, harder if you can. Hopefully it'll wake me up! That way...we won't have to suffer here!"
Hearing Lu Zhe say this, Ning Shu fell silent. She knew what kind of dire situation they were facing. She just gently squeezed Lu Zhe's arm and said softly, "Lu Zhe..."
"Where are we..." A faint, delicate voice spoke up.
Suddenly, Lu Zhe, Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo realized what was happening and turned around together. They saw Lin Qianqian struggling to push herself off the ground and look at them weakly.
She was awake!
Very weak, but encouraging nonetheless!
"Wonderful, you're awake Qianqian!" Ning Shu rushed over to support Lin Qianqian's shoulders.
Lin Qianqian looked around, "Class president, Lu Zhe, Xiaoguo, I...where are we now?"
Lu Zhe sighed, "There was some trouble mid-flight. Unfortunately we crashed, but luckily, we all survived."
Recalling the terrifying scene in the cabin, Lin Qianqian's eyes revealed panic and helplessness, as if trapped in a nightmare.
Ning Shu felt it was time to change the subject!
"The rescue team will probably arrive soon!"
"Hopefully so!" Lu Zhe noticed Ning Shu's backpack, "There's stuff inside right? Take it out, we need to replenish our energy first."
Ning Shu gave a wry laugh and took off her bag, taking out the contents one by one.
Well now!
A female-oriented novel called "Master of Pleasing Her Husband", a 100ml bottle of Vaseline hand cream, a pack of high-end rubber bands, a pencil case, a diary, two packs of tissue, a set of keys, a whistle, an unopened pack of 7-day period pads...
Food?
There was some!
A can of Sugar-Free Werther's candy, 5 bags of spicy dried sausage sticks!
Lu Zhe picked up a bag of the dried sausage snacks:
"Fine I get the candy, but why'd you bring this stuff?"
Ning Shu sighed, "They don't allow chili sauce on planes! I was afraid I wouldn't like the in-flight meals, so I brought some spicy dried sausage."
"Hmm, someone really loves spicy food..."
Lu Zhe was extremely thirsty. He certainly couldn't eat spicy dried sausage!
Finally he spotted a 1L water bottle, but could only pour out two drops of water from it.
"I'm telling you, there's no water!"
Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders, "There was some before. Xiaoguo and I were just too thirsty, so we finished it all between us."
Great, no water left.
Just a bunch of useless stuff in this bag!
Lu Zhe understood that as modern college students, the first thing they'd think of in a disaster wasn't how to survive, but rather hoping the nation's rescuers would come save them!
By now the whole country must know about this. Not only their homeland but rescue teams from neighboring countries would be actively searching for them.
In theory it shouldn't take long before a rescue boat picks them up and they'd be drinking functional beverages while giving interviews to reporters.
But there are always exceptions!
What if help doesn't arrive?
"If the rescue team doesn't come in five hours, then we can happily die here!"
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
