There were still traces of human activity here. For example, there were black ashes left behind by the fire on the large rocks by the shore. It was probably someone having a picnic here.
Zhuang Liu moved the things from the yacht down, mainly food, drinks, and some daily necessities. There was no place to buy things on this island, and even the signal was not very good. There was only some signal at the northernmost end of the sea.
âXiao Rou, how many days do you want to stay here?â Zhuang Liu asked.
Although Tan Rou liked the environment here, the signal here was too bad. She wanted to stay here for two days before going back.
âLetâs go back the day after tomorrow.â Tan Rou said, âYouâve been out for so many days. You must have a lot of work piled up. I also have a lot of things that I havenât finished. Letâs go back and settle some work first. Weâll then go on another trip next time.â
Zhuang Liu agreed with Tan Rou. He had a lot of work on his hands. He would probably have to work for a month when he returned from the trip. The resources near the deserted island were very rich, especially the fish and coconuts on the island. There were countless of them.
During the day, they strolled around the deserted island and caught some fish. At night, they spent the night on the deserted island. Once the tent was propped up, it was very comfortable inside.
There were a lot of mosquitoes on the island, but it didnât affect them. Their big tent came with mosquito-repellent equipment, so no mosquitoes would come and disturb them. The top of the tent could be opened, and through the dense gauze curtains, one could see the starry sky above.
Tan Rou lay in the tent and admired the starry sky. âThe pollution of the environment is very serious now. I havenât seen such a beautiful starry sky in a long time.â
Zhuang Liu lay down beside her. âIf you like it, we can go to places where we can see the stars better.â
âAlright!â Tan Rou suggested, âNext time, letâs go to the North Pole to see the aurora borealis. Itâll be summer in the northern hemisphere!â
âAlright, weâll go together,â Zhuang Liu agreed.
As time passed, just as Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were about to sleep, the sound of a strong wind came from outside. Then, a few drops of rain fell into their tent.
Tan Rou sat up immediately. âItâs raining!â
Zhuang Liu frowned. The environment on the sea was good, but it was difficult to find the trajectory of the climate here. It was still full of stars just now, and now it started to rain.
âClose the zipper on the tent.â Zhuang Liu reacted very quickly. âWe donât know how long this rain will last. We definitely canât go back now, so we have to spend the night in the heavy rain.â
He grabbed Tan Rouâs hand and apologized. âRourou, Iâm sorry. I didnât consider the situation here. If I knew it would rain tonight, I definitely wouldnât have brought you here.â
Tan Rou smiled. âItâs just heavy rain. Whatâs there to be afraid of?â She also patted Zhuang Liuâs shoulder. âDonât worry, weâll be fine.â
As soon as she finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky. The raindrops hit their tent as if they were going to break through it.
Tan Rou could see that their tent was bouncing from the rain. If it wasnât for the fact that the tent was sturdy, it would have been destroyed long ago.
âI canât sleep.â Tan Rou was quite optimistic. âAh Liu, letâs sit up and chat.â
Zhuang Liuâs mood was relatively low. He had originally wanted to bring Tan Rou here to experience the life of camping on a deserted island, but he did not expect to encounter a storm. He did not experience the wonderful camping life, but he did experience the storm on the deserted island.
Thunder and lightning took turns, as if they were about to strike their tents.
Tan Rou sat in the tent. She rested her chin on her hand and chuckled. âAlt Liu, what if our tent breaks down or our yacht gets washed away by the sea?â
Zhuang Liu hugged her. âIâll send an SOS signal to get someone to save you.â
âWhat if our phones run out of battery?â Tan Rou laughed.
âThen Iâll swim back to the shore from here and get someone to come and save you,â Zhuang Liu said firmly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou knew that what Zhuang Liu said was true. If they couldnât go back, Zhuang Liu would swim back.
âLetâs swim back together.â Tan Rou leaned into Zhuang Liuâs arms. âBut I still hope that the rain will stop soon.â
