Zhuo Qianqian sneered, “I’ve told you that he’s a despicable man!”

Tong Wei was also a little disappointed. Yesterday, she was worried that Chang Yuan couldn’t sleep well. It turned out he had a better sleep than all of them.

Chang Yuan got up and stretched his body. Then, he explained to the three women, “Last night, I wanted to tear open my sleeping bag and use it as a quilt, so we could squeeze together to sleep!”

“But you guys refused to give me a chance to speak and let me sleep on the beach alone!” He shrugged with an innocent expression. “What else can I do? Someone had to use the sleeping bag.”

The women were all speechless by Chang Yuan’s reason.

He seemed to mean that it was their own fault that they were blown by the sea breeze for the whole night.

Chang Yuan walked pass the three of them. He did not want to spend more time on minor issues. To survive on a deserted island, food and shelter were necessities, and the women could only be ranked the third.

Chang Yuan knew that the first thing he had to do now was to solve the food problem.

There were fruits in the forest but eating fruits everyday was not enough. To gain strength and energy, they needed to eat meat.

Just as he was about to take action, the sky suddenly darkened. Qiao Yuran, who was at the side, looked at the sky and complained, “The sun was so bright just now. Why is it suddenly blocked by the dark clouds?”

After windy night, it was really comfortable to be basked in the warm sunlight during the day. However, the sun disappeared after showing up just a short while.

“Humph, this damn weather is as bad as Chang Yuan!” Zhuo Qianqian stomped her feet in anger.

“Stop complaining about the weather. Come and eat some fruits! Maybe someone will come to rescue us later!” Tong Wei picked up the few crooked fruits that were left last night beside the extinguished fire and handed them to the two women.

After mentioning the rescue, the three women looked at the vast sea full of hope.

The gathering of the dark clouds in the sky above the sea made the vast sea looked even more oppressive.

Even in such a terrible weather, they were still looking forward to a cruise ship coming to rescue them.

Chang Yuan looked at the three women helplessly. “If you don’t want to starve or get caught in the storm, then go and do something! Don’t just stand there in a daze. I can’t feed three goddesses by myself!”

After being reminded by Chang Yuan, the three women finally realized that the gathering of dark clouds was the precursor of a storm.

Although they had no experience of living on a deserted island, they could still tell the weather was going to change.

Qiao Yuran was so frightened that she held Tong Wei’s arm. “I heard that the storm on the sea is terrifying. I’m always scared of thunder and lightning!”

As a flight attendant who flew in the sky all year round, Tong Wei was used to storms. One time, her plane flew directly into a thunderstorm, and the plane was almost destroyed.

When she looked out of the window from the plane, the lightning flashed before her eyes like a long dragon, and the sound was deafening.

From that time on, Tong Wei was no longer afraid of a thunderstorm.

She tried to comfort Qiao Yuran, “Don’t worry, we’ll all here!” Then, she added worriedly, “Chang Yuan is right. We have to do something as well. We can’t let Chang Yuan do all the stuff alone. After all, we have four mouths to feed!”

“Ah! Then what are we going to do? I have no idea at all! Why don’t we just wait here for help? Who knows, it might come soon!” Qiao Yuran was confused.

As a big star, she had people to take care of her clothes, food, accommodation, and travel. She never needed to think about these things before. Now, she had to handle all the things by herself. It was even more difficult than solving a Math Olympiad problem for her.

Zhuo Qianqian was different. As the chairwoman of a big company, she was good at problem solving. She immediately stood up and said, “We still don’t know when the rescue will come, so we can’t waste our time and do nothing.”

“We don’t have the knowledge to survive in the wilderness. We should choose a team leader first!”

That said, they all turned to look at Chang Yuan at the side.

However, they regretted their decision right after they saw what Chang Yuan was doing, and they muttered, “Can we trust him or not?”

“Why is he picking up trash on the beach?!” Qiao Yuran asked bluntly; she was not afraid that Chang Yuan would hear her.

In fact, Chang Yuan had already heard it clearly.

Under the influence of the wind, the sound could travel very far. Although the three women were more than a hundred meters away from Chang Yuan, and their voices were not loud, he could still hear them like they were near to him.

“These three stupid women!” Chang Yuan said disdainfully. He saw some iron plates scattered on the beach.

These were the parts scattered from the plane. They might be useful.

In this desolate place, these iron plates were precious items. Using them well might solve a lot of problems.

The three women walked to Chang Yuan. Zhuo Qianqian’s face was cold. She was the first to speak, “Hey! We have something to discuss with you!”

Chang Yuan ignored her and continued to pick up his metal plates.

“Hmph, forget it. I’ve never seen a man who would hold grudges like him!” Zhuo Qianqian saw that Chang Yuan ignored her and was instantly angered.

Tong Wei saw what had happened between the two. Why did the two of them always fight with each other? She said hurriedly, “Well, we want to choose a team leader who will tell us what to do. You should know that we can’t survive without your help.”

Tong Wei’s words were pleasant to hear, which made Chang Yuan feel a little happy in his heart.

They should talk to him nicely earlier. They should be humble when they were begging people to do things instead of the criticism and rude attitude.

“Yes, yes! Brother Chang Yuan! You can order us. Look! The storm is coming. I don’t want to get wet. It would be bad if we get sick!”

Qiao Yuran also came up to him. She still used the same trick, which was holding Chang Yuan’s arm and begging him innocently.

Chang Yuan had never meant to leave them alone. He enjoyed the company of beautiful women on this deserted island and would never let any of them fall sick. However, he could not do everything by himself.

Chang Yuan put on a serious face, “You wasted my canned food, stole my sleeping place, and even criticized me! But now, you want me to be the team leader. What if you change your mind again? Are you going tease me again like I am a monkey?”

Facing Chang Yuan’s question, the three women were embarrassed.

They knew that he was talking about Zhuo Qianqian. The other two winked at her.

Zhuo Qianqian took their hints. She pursed her lips and reluctantly admitted defeat. “It’s our fault. We apologize. It won’t happen again!”

“Again? You think I’ll let you?” Chang Yuan asked back. Zhuo Qianqian’s beautiful eyes glared at Chang Yuan.

However, under the threat of Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran, Zhuo Qianqian gave in at last.

“Hmph!” She snorted and turned around with her arms crossed..
