She can even flatter him for such terrible food he made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything else we can eat. What about you?\u201d Steven Song says to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI choose to starve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I purse my lips.<\/p>\n<p>While Whitney flatters him, but I don\u2019t want to. If I choose to eat for his sake, my stomach would suffer.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Steven Song finds two pieces of bread. He gives me one piece and sighs, \u201cLooks like there has to be some waiters to serve, at least there should be a cook, or if the guests can&#8217;t cook, they would starve to death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis stands aside and looks at his congee in the pot, probably hesitating to eat it or not.<\/p>\n<p>He is an exquisite man. If there is something that is unpalatable for me, it would be harder for him to swallow.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at my bread, I break it off and share with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Louis, if you don\u2019t mind\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis glances at me and says coldly, \u201cI won&#8217;t eat other people\u2019s leftover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>What did I hear?<\/p>\n<p>Damn it! Would the ship sink like Titanic as I said?<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song turns to look at me meaningfully, \u201cI&#8217;m wondering whether to make you talk less in the future or not to take you out. This is the first time I sailed out and meet the storm. If our fates are like the people in Titanic, I can only say that you are Rose reincarnated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cruise sails to the east quickly, and soon we arrive at the island.<\/p>\n<p>I watch from a distance, and the scenery on the island is pretty good. It can\u2019t be so miserable as I thought.<\/p>\n<p>I go to the kitchen and carry all the meat from the refrigerator, so that even if we couldn\u2019t leave for a while, we wouldn\u2019t starve.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis and Steven Song also carry some emergency supplies. I don\u2019t check what they take exactly, so we get off the ship.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we get on the island, we hear the sound of waves crashing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo inside, that would be safer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis points at the depth of the forest.<\/p>\n<p>But, will there be snakes, wolves or tigers in the forest?<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of these things make me gulp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-145","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
