Island Management: Starting With the Heart of Ocean as a Prize - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: I Haven’t Complained That You’ve Pricked Me Yet!

In fact, she was thinking too much. Although she was facing a male god-level beauty, Zhang Zitong did not lose herself. She stuck to her heart and did not attack Qi Hang’s abs.

The two of them went ashore one after another. The cool clothes they were wearing were already soaked through by the seawater. If it were not for the life jacket as a shield, they would have been exposed by now.

However, it was not completely covered. As long as one paid a little attention, it was not difficult to see something.

Qi Hang very consciously jumped into the water again and climbed onto the body of the killer whale to collect the goose-necked barnacles. As for the ordinary barnacles, he threw them into the sea.

Seeing his serious look, Xie Yulu pursed her lips. For some reason, she actually felt a little disappointed.

Was her figure so unattractive in front of him?

She did not even have the right to let him take another look at her?

Hmph!

Xie Yulu felt frustrated for no reason. Shee kicked the moss that had caused Zhang Zitong to slip down.

In the end, her body swayed and he almost fell again.

Zhang Zitong quickly held onto her.

“Yulu, I have some bad news to tell you…”

“Go ahead.” Xie Yulu was not in a good mood and did not want to talk.

“I couldn’t hold on to the phone you used for the live broadcast and fell into the sea…”

“…”

Xie Yulu was in a bad mood.

Although she was not a singing streamer, in order to have a better sound suppression effect, the phone used for the live broadcast was equipped with a sound card that was not cheap. It was even more expensive than the phone itself.

However, the financial loss was secondary. The video that was stored in the phone through the live broadcast was the most important thing.

After filming so much material today, her dream of filming a documentary about the sea this time was probably going to go up in flames because of this loss.

As for the salvage…

Forget it. They were located in the deep sea. The cost of hiring a boat to search for them was not something she could afford.

Zhang Zitong quickly apologized when she saw Xie Yulu’s unhappy expression.

“I’m sorry, Yulu. I’ll buy you a new one when we get back, okay?”

Xie Yulu sighed and did not say anything. She took out her phone that she usually used and realized that her phone was not switched off because she was in the water. She posted a statement on the public platform to explain the situation to her fans.

Qi Hang quietly took the last piece of swan-necked barnacles off the back of the killer whale and threw it onto the small boat. Then, he suddenly jumped into the sea.

“Hey! Qi Hang!”

Xie Yulu looked at the empty back of the killer whale and his heart skipped a beat. “Where are you? Come up quickly.”

No one responded. It was pitch black around them. Other than the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, there was no other sound.

Zhang Zitong guessed, “Could he be under this killer whale?”

Xie Yulu bit her lip, her face full of worry. “I’m just afraid that he might be impulsive and swim into the deep sea to help me find my phone.”

“Don’t worry. Your Prince Charming doesn’t look stupid.” Zhang Zitong comforted him. “God knows how deep the sea is here. It might be a few hundred meters. How could he swim so deep without his diving equipment? He must have gone under the body of the killer whale to pick that thing.”

Xie Yulu thought about it and felt relieved. At this moment, the cold wind blew and a chill rose from her body. She took off her life jacket and pulled Zhang Zitong to the tent above the reef to snuggle with each other for warmth.

However, more than a minute passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi Hang did not appear near the killer whale.

Xie Yulu was worried again.

He waited anxiously.

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Four minutes passed…

The surface of the sea was still calm.

More importantly, the killer whale was gone!

Xie Yulu was completely flustered.

“Qi Hang? Don’t scare me…”

Suddenly, the sound of water breaking could be heard.

Xie Yulu subconsciously got up and walked out of the tent to look around.

He saw Qi Hang’s figure appear in the night fishing light. He climbed onto the reef and stood in front of her. At the same time, he handed her something.

“Here, your… Um…”

A delicate figure crashed into his arms.

Xie Yulu’s eyes were red, and her small hands hugged him tightly.

“Idiot.” She used a tone that was almost aggrieved to say something like blaming him. “It’s just a phone. Do you have to be so desperate?”

“It’s not just a phone in my eyes.”

“Then what else can it be?” Xie Yulu’s voice was a little gentle, and her heart was beating a little fast. What was he implying with these words?

Qi Hang smiled faintly. “Didn’t you say earlier that the income from this livestream would be given to me as the expenses of the island?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s naturally my cash cow.”

“I hate you!”

The difference between reality and ideals was a little too big. Xie Yulu was so angry that she gave Qi Hang a punch, but she did not let go of the other hand that was still hugging his back.

Qi Hang still had a smile on his face. “Zhang Zitong is watching.”

“I don’t care!”

He had already hugged him. Xie Yulu finally had the courage to do so. He had to be willful for once and take the initiative.

Zhang Zitong smiled like an aunt.

Qi Hang had no choice but to change his strategy. “Your body is so prickly. The salt is crystallizing.”

“I haven’t complained that you’re prickling me yet!”

“Don’t you think that the smell is very strong too?”

“You’re already picked me, did I say anything!”

“Alright.”

Qi Hang was helpless and said with a hint of wanting more, “then remember not to wear a bra next time. It doesn’t feel realistic enough.”

Xie Yulu finally let go and retreated with a flushed face. “There won’t be a next time. Dream on!”

This hooligan!

Qi Hang looked at the surface of the sea with some pity. “The killer whale has left. I haven’t finished dealing with the lower part of its body yet.”

“Is that thing very valuable?” Zhang Zitong added, “I see that you’ve already collected it.”

“I’ve only collected the high-quality part. I don’t know the exact price either. Let’s go to the city to ask during the day.”

“Then, shall we go back now?”

“It’s about time. Let’s go back. You guys can’t broadcast live now, right?”

Of course, after soaking in the phone for so long, they could not turn it on anymore. They had to find a professional to remove the water from the phone.

So, the three of them started to pack up. They did not leave any rubbish on the sea and were ready to return.

Because the small boat was loaded with many swan-necked barnacles, it was difficult for them to even sit down.

They had no choice. They could only let Zhang Zitong sit with this batch of seafood while Xie Yulu and Qi Hang squeezed together.

The two of them were pressed against each other, and as the small boat swayed, they would have more intimate contact from time to time.

Xie Yulu simply let go and hugged Qi Hang’s arm to maintain his balance.

“I’m a little seasick. Let me lean on your shoulder for a while,” she said righteously.

“I’ll charge you next time, but not this time,” Qi Hang joked.

Xie Yulu gently hit him and then carefully leaned her head against him. This feeling was a little strange and difficult to describe with words. Then, she thought of how she should act seasick, so she quickly closed her eyes and her mind was in a mess, no one knew what she was thinking.
