Lu Liran heard his own heartbeat, which was as fast as a drum, and as loud as thunder in a summer night.

The heart was beating fast, and a tingling numbness spread from the heart to the fingertips, and then climbed up the arms from the fingertips, burrowed into the neck, and scratched his dry and itchy throat.

Lu Liran never noticed that Ke Ji had paid attention to him in private. He thought that the support that was on the string a few times was due to efficiency and coincidental luck. arrange.

He stood there in a daze, but his eyes couldn't help looking into the other person's eyes, his mind was full of Ke Ji's words, those words were like the deep sea in calm, gentle and irresistible attraction.

He sank into the depths, his breathing seemed to be drowned by the deep sea.

But Lu Liran thought, he is willing.

He opened his mouth slightly, and after Ke Ji said so much, he felt that he should say something, but his brain was in a mess, like a revolving lantern, and the images of them getting along quickly flashed, from the first time he saw the conductor Your Excellency's super mecha as the starting point, to the Omega with the same name and surname that I saw for the first time on the mountainside of Arlock, and finally to the steel blue steel giant standing in front of me as the last painting of the curtain.

Information overload, the brain crashes.

Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran quietly, he knew how abrupt he was this time, what happened just now was not even in his plan, and the first confession he wanted was not on this kind of desert island, let alone It should be at sunset.

But impulsive, after he finished speaking, he felt that it wasn't bad at all.

As he said before, he is always waiting for a suitable time, place, and even atmosphere, and wants to arrange every meaningful first time of them beautifully and perfectly, leaving the best memory.

It's just that time and opportunities will not always favor him. He just wants to seize every moment, no matter whether it is appropriate or not, no matter what the result is, as long as it is them, it is the best memory.

Ke Ji smiled slightly, and approached Lu Liran—Lu Liran did not back away to distance himself, which was a good signal, and he breathed a sigh of relief—he whispered: "I know it will take time to digest, I don't want to let You feel burdened and don't want an answer and a response right away."

"Actually, I didn't want to tell you so quickly. I hope that what I said today will happen one day in the future. When you see me, you don't see your Excellency the Federal Commander-in-Chief, but only me. I think I said this at that time, so this answer, can I wait until then to listen to it?" Ke Ji looked down at Lu Liran, his eyes were long and long, and his voice was low and soft, with a hint of pleading.

Lu Liran nodded with almost no resistance.

Seeing this, Ke Ji put a little smile on his mouth, stretched out his hand tentatively, rubbed his fingertips against the faint purple flower fluid on Lu Liran's chin, changed the subject, and asked, "So do we still have to sleep in separate rooms now?" ?”

Lu Liran opened his eyes wide suddenly, his ears turned red immediately, he shrank back as if he had been scalded, and stopped looking at Ke Ji's steel blue eyes with a smile.

He licked his lips, glanced at the skyline, coughed dryly and said, "It's getting dark now, and it's too late to build another slanted hut, so... let's do it first."

of course!

After Lu Liran finished speaking, he seemed to be biting his tongue. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything else, but secretly scratched his palm with his fingernails—

Does the tenderness, confession, indulgence and understanding of the Federal Commander-in-Chief actually belong to him?

He was thinking dizzily, and even for a moment he didn't know what to do next.

All the guards in the forest withdrew almost at the right time. The deputy captain led the team and ran out of the forest with a smile on his face. When he saw Lu Liran and Ke Ji staying on the beach not far away, he immediately shouted Greeting: "Mr. Lu! We found it!"

Lu Liran didn't react, did you find it? What did you find?

The deputy captain walked over quickly, crooked the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is hidden in the rock-piercing banyan tree that Mr. Lu said. We have seized all illegal poaching products from the poaching gang."

Lu Liran said "Oh", it turned out to be this.

He lacks interest, compared to this, he wants to relive what Ke Ji said just now.

Lu Liran regretted it from the bottom of his heart, he should have released the drone, so at least he could keep a video memory for himself.

Just relying on his eyes and brain, Lu Liran was afraid that he would forget the details and pictures in the future.

Moments like these are worth cherishing forever.

"As long as the host wants, the system can fulfill the host's wish!" The system persuaded in Lu Liran's mind, "You can exchange video records with ten whole Nightmare plants, remember to include the roots and flower buds. Oh."

Lu Liran was obviously surprised.

"Is it a complete video record?" Lu Liran asked the system in his mind, his eyes flickering.

"Yes." The system responded readily.

Lu Liran immediately decided to pull the weeds.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, please leave your contact information and account information. After the procedures and value appraisal are completed, we will call you with your reward!" the deputy captain shouted, suddenly turned around and was about to leave Lu Liran said quickly.

He was a little confused. Ordinary people shouldn't be curious to ask what was seized and how much it was worth? Why does this person in front of him look completely uninterested and still remembers wanting to leave?

Lu Liran came back to his senses after hearing the words: "Oh, good."

His thoughts were all on the video records that he exchanged later, so he didn't have the energy to spare for the deputy team.

Besides, the reward for the seizure is only one percent of the total value, how much money can there be?

After the deputy team got Lu Liran's account information, they didn't wait any longer, turned around and walked on the boat with a few of their men.

"Deputy team, deputy team, it's a big case to solve this time! How much do you pay for so many things?"

"Let's say less than 50 million." The deputy team seemed to be in a good mood. The higher the amount of the case seized, the more bonuses they would get. What's more, apart from a little bit of trouble this time, the most worried firefight incident didn't even happen. It's like picking up a large bonus for nothing.

When Lu Liran heard it, his footsteps stopped immediately.

Fifty million?

One percent has to be 500,000.

This wave leads the way.

The team members at the back are still chattering about—

"I'll go, how long have those people been in this business?!"

"Don't talk about three or four years. Didn't you see that after we moved the tree out, the entire trunk was almost hollowed out and filled? I saw that the two sun-dried hawksbill seahorses were infested with insects, and it must have been a long time."

"It's a huge profit, and there are so many rich people who speculate on the market price, 50 million is still not enough."

"It's disgusting."

Lu Liran lowered his eyes, and he stopped listening to the next words, turned around and walked to the place where the nightmare weeds were pulled.

It is impossible for him to stop poaching even ten times, he has done everything he can, and he doesn't want to let the bad things that can't be done disturb his current good mood.

Ke Ji didn't understand why Lu Liran ran away without saying a word, but seeing the obvious relaxation on Lu Liran's face, he felt relieved and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Ten whole plants of Nightmare Weed were exchanged to the system, in exchange for a complete video record on the system's side.

Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the extremely impressive progress bar, and finally understood why the system handed over the complete video so generously this time.

This includes all the recorded videos that he has bound to the system, and it takes a huge amount of work to cut out a certain section.

Lu Liran found a small pond, sat quietly on the reef, blowing the sea breeze, and started playing a small movie in his mind.

Since he just met Ke Zhi for the first time...

"Why are you just sitting here?" Ke Ji's voice suddenly broke in.

It took Lu Liran a second to realize that it was a voice from reality. He quickly cleared the small movie in his brain, and looked back at Ke Ji: "...I just sit around."

"I don't boil the salt anymore, are you hiding from me?" Ke Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Liran.

After he finished speaking, he sighed lightly.

Lu Liran was like a cat whose tail was trampled on. Hearing Ke Ji's soft sigh, he felt his heart ache. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Of course not!"

Ke Ji looked up at him quietly.

"I'm..." Lu Liran pursed his lips. He didn't want to tell Ke Ji about the existence of the system. After all, he didn't want to expose such an unusually high artificial intelligence before he fully tested out what it was and what its purpose was. , so as not to get Ke Ji into trouble.

"It's fine if you're not hiding from me." Ke Ji interrupted Lu Liran's hesitation. He didn't come here to break the casserole and ask the end. After confirming that Lu Liran did not distance himself because of what he said just now, he breathed a sigh of relief , smiled slightly, and greeted, "Come and help me see if the boiled salt can be used."

Lu Liran immediately got up and nodded when he heard the words.

When the two returned to the beach camp, Lu Liran saw what Ke Ji had boiled. He said it was salt, and there were some small black dirty spots in it. When he looked closely, blue crystals were also precipitated.

Obviously it's useless.

Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but glance at Ke Ji, and saw the man glance at him innocently: "How is it? Can it be used? I cooked the salt according to your method. It doesn't look the same."

Lu Liran: "..."

Far more than the same.

However, Lu Liran did not allow others to say anything bad about Your Excellency Commander, and he did not allow himself to deny the fruits of your hard work, His Excellency Commander. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and throw the pot on the sea water and the utensils: "Well, the water quality may not be very good. Okay, let’s cook another pot and try.”

Ke Ji curled the corner of his mouth, and nodded with a smile on hearing this: "Okay."

Of course he knows that the "coarse salt" he boiled is useless. Although the process of boiling salt is long and simple, it is a step that requires careful attention. The composition of the crystals precipitated in each time period is different. Strained in time, the resulting mass of white crystals is the salt they end up using.

But because of the interruption of those things before, Ke Ji put all his attention on Lu Liran, and never cared about the vessel for boiling salt. By the time he paid attention to it happily, the salt had already been mixed with other things like potassium sulfide analyzed together.

But taking this opportunity, Ke Ji leaned in front of Lu Liran and showed him nakedly that he is not a perfect person, he would mess up even a small matter, and he needed him.

Ke Ji followed Lu Liran back and forth, like a little tail.

In order to make his excuse of "the water quality is not very good" more credible, Lu Liran deliberately walked a little deeper near the shallow sea, scooped up half a coconut shell of seawater and returned.

Ke Ji pursed his lips and chuckled silently.

After the salt was boiled according to the previous method, the sky completely darkened. Lu Liran suddenly remembered the fishing nets he had put down before, and got up to collect them.

Hearing this, Ke Ji temporarily made a torch: "I'll be with you."

Lu Liran responded, unable to ignore the small bubbles of joy that popped up from the bottom of his heart.

Although Ke Ji often said this sentence in the past, the feeling was completely different.

Ke Ji held the torch, turned the flame to Lu Liran's feet, and reminded Lu Liran to pay attention to his feet in a low voice.

The reefs on the seaside are oddly shaped, with sharp edges and corners, and if you are not careful, it is easy to scratch your skin with your feet. Ke Ji regrets that he came to collect the net at this time.

Lu Liran responded to Ke Ji's instructions, but stepped on the reef lightly and quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived near the puddle where he had poisoned the small fish with the nightmarish flower liquid.

By the light of the fire, I could clearly see a few finger-length small whitebait floating on the water, floating in a comatose state one by one.

Lu Liran picked up those small whitebait first, and then put away the fishing net. The mesh is relatively large, and small whitebait like that will definitely fall out of the net.

"Look!" Lu Liran whispered joyfully, pointing to the heavy lump at the bottom of the fishing net, the firelight was not very clear, but it could be seen that it was a bumper harvest, he laughed, "I didn't expect to be able to eat it tonight." Well done."

He jumped back to the shore in a few steps, and Ke Ji naturally took the fishing net in his hand and added it to the weight, at least a little over ten catties.

"Let's go home." Lu Liran greeted very smoothly.

When Ke Ji heard it, the rhythm of his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He looked at the back of Lu Liran who had already walked out, and couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle:

This little guy has no idea how heavy these words are.

He cleared his throat, and answered with hooked corners of his mouth: "Here we are."

///

The people from the Coast Guard haven't left yet, they are doing the final finishing touches.

Some team members who were idle for a while started the fire first, cooked soup bags with simple nutrients and compressed biscuits for going out missions, and finished dinner first.

"The two of you go and call our foreign aid, and invite them to have a meal together." The old captain said.

He knew that the two foreign aids came to this deserted island almost empty-handed, so they must not even have to eat any nutritional supplements.

The two of them helped them all day, and they had to provide a meal for them.

The two team members who were summoned responded, and rushed to find Lu Liran and Ke Ji.

When they ran near the bonfire camp, Lu Liran and Ke Ji had just returned from the rocky beach and were pouring out the contents of the fishing net.

"What are you doing?" one of the team members asked curiously.

Lu Liran was tossing the tangled fishing net, which wrapped the hard-won fish inside tightly. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the man impatiently: "Catch dinner."

"Ah? Just take this fishing net? You don't have a boat, where did you catch it? Can you catch anything?"

Lu Liran didn't bother to answer, he took out his dagger and simply cut the fishing net.

"If you don't have a boat, what can you get by just casting a net to catch fish? Forget it, don't toss about the garbage, and go have a group meal with us." Another team member persuaded.

The sky was dark and the light was poor. With the light of the fire and the moon, the two team members could only vaguely see that it was a large group of tangled fishing nets, and they couldn't see anything inside.

"That's right, we brought soup dumplings this time. It's rare to have soup. If you don't come, you will be snatched up by those hungry wolves."

Lu Liran still ignored him, and with the help of Ke Ji, he shook off the severed fishing net. Hearing a heavy muffled sound, a small piece of sand rose up on the beach, scaring the two team members back several steps.

What the hell!

Ke Ji took a torch to shine on it, and saw a flat snake-like creature covered in blue and white rings lying on the beach, about one meter long and twenty or thirty centimeters wide.

"Blue and white ring fat head moray eel!" Lu Liran recognized it.

He grabbed the thing with his bare hands, cut off the head with a knife, and then said: "This moray eel is very slippery! Even if it is caught in a fishing net, it is easy to get rid of it, even if it is on the beach. It can also escape and slip into the sea at the fastest speed, so whenever it is caught, the first thing to do is to cut off its head, so that it has no chance of escaping."

The members of the two guards on the side grinned and took a light breath.

Foreign aid is really violent.

"But how did you catch it?" A member of the team wondered, if the fish could be caught with fishing nets alone, the price of seafood would not be so high.

"It was stunned by the toxin of rotenone." Lu Liran said, and he started to deal with the moray eel as he spoke.

Remove the scales, pull out the gills, and remove the internal organs, and then use sticks to twist them twice, wrapping around two thick sticks like a snake, and leaning against the campfire to roast slowly.

The outermost layer of moray eel skin without scales is the tenderest and thinnest. After just a few breaths, it is slightly curled, burnt and crispy, and has a tangy aroma.

The two team members stared straight at it, not bothering to ask what fish vine was and where it came from.

I heard that the blue-and-white-ringed fat-head moray eel tastes like a fat jelly, but unfortunately, a small piece costs hundreds of stars, which low-level civil servants like them can't afford.

"I remember that the blue-and-white-ringed moray eel is not a protected animal." Lu Liran said abruptly.

He raised his eyes, looked at the two guards with serious eyes, and issued an order to drive away: "What are you waiting for here?"

"..."

The two guards swallowed, and returned to the boat in despair.

When the old captain saw it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why did you come back? Where are they?"

"They won't come." One of the team members swallowed the saliva secreted from his mouth, as if the smell of the moray eel roasted on the campfire was still in his mouth, and he had eaten it himself.

Another team member sighed enviously, and said sourly: "You still think about them eating, they eat well."

The old captain raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is it because the two of you are talking in a strange way, and you are so angry that you refuse to come?"

"No! Not at all!" The two team members felt that they had been wronged too much, "They just disdain what we eat."

The old captain glared at the two people: "Nonsense! Our food is not bad! You two must be in a hurry to come back and grab some soup. Thank you without any sincerity!"

The old captain called to the deputy team: "Forget it, you go with me, anyway, this case is solved by them, verbal thanks are indispensable. By the way, there are bonuses that will be approved by the superior after returning. Forgot to bring them a copy."

"I know, I know. Let's go." The deputy team responded immediately, turned around and shouted to his subordinates, "Leave me a bowl of soup!"

"Got it, deputy team!"

…

In front of the bonfire, Lu Liran tossed and grilled fish, while Ke Ji wandered around from nowhere and came back with two more oysters in his arms.

"Why are you touching oysters again?" Lu Liran asked with some doubts, "Aren't these enough to eat? Then I'll open some coconuts?"

A good desert island survival has become a desert island buffet.

Ke Ji sat next to Lu Liran and asked, "Don't you like oysters?"

"...It's okay." Lu Liran scratched his chin, not understanding why Ke Ji would ask such a question.

The opened oyster was brought to his mouth, and Lu Liran got used to Ke Ji's feeding, so he took a sip naturally.

He was concentrating on the barbecue in front of him, chewing on the fresh oysters in his mouth, the second he swallowed, he suddenly remembered that last time Ke Ji also brought a lot of oysters over.

He recalled the reason for the oyster love, and then slowly, first the ears turned red, and then the neck.

Under the firelight, Ke Ji could see clearly, and he chuckled lightly.

Lu Liran only felt that the deep smile seemed to stick to his ear, and he suddenly understood why some people would describe love as being electrocuted, and his scalp felt numb at that moment.

His heartbeat accelerated again, as if a feather was gently scratching his heart.

Ke Ji approached and said in a low voice: "I almost forgot, I haven't said that sentence today..."

Before he finished speaking, two unexpected guests arrived before they could hear: "Mr. Lu—"

Ke Ji's words stopped abruptly, and Lu Liran looked not far away with unkind eyes.

The two captain-level people wandered to Lu Liran's barbecue stall again.

Ah no, before the campfire.

I saw a few small whitebait hanging on Lu Liran's side, and two thicker branches wrapped around the one-meter-long fat-headed moray eel with blue and white rings, leaning against the campfire and slowly roasting it.

This moray eel is quite strong among its kind. The weight of an ordinary moray eel with blue and white ring fat head is less than ten catties, but this one is obviously overweight.

The smell of grilled fish has been released slowly, and Lu Liran sprinkled some salt on it, and there was a thin crackling sound, and a plump grilled smell penetrated into the nostrils of the two captains.

The old captain rubbed his eyes twice, stared blankly at the large eel on the skewer, and suddenly widened his eyes: "This, this, this!"

"Suck it up." The deputy team next to him swallowed helplessly.

Lu Liran was depressed about Ke Ji's unfinished sentence, and felt like a kitten was scratching in his heart. His Excellency Commander said something he forgot to say today... Was it the sentence he mentioned before?

That is, the sentence that will be repeated every night in the future?

Want to hear it again.

Lu Liran raised his eyes to look at the two captains who were bothering good things, and gritted his teeth: "Come to eat?"

Old captain & deputy team: "..."

Ah, why does it feel like I’m going to eat them QAQ
