Wang Haoran is definitely a research fanatic. After a simple breakfast, he dives back into the study to continue researching Bai Lan's illness.

Faced with Wang Haoran's actions, Ye Qiu feels a bit worried. After all, his age is no longer young, and such excessive strain on his body has a huge impact on his health.

But when Ye Qiu tries to persuade him, he's immediately rebutted by Wang Haoran, especially with that line, "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?"

Ye Qiu is quite speechless. Honestly, he learned his own medical techniques from Wang Haoran, and when it comes to medical skills, he definitely can't compare to Wang Haoran.

Helpless, he has no choice but to return to the room to accompany Bai Lan.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

During these few days, Ye Qiu hasn't seen Wang Longbo and doesn't know where he's been messing around. Ye Qiu has worried about his safety, but Wang Haoran seems indifferent.

"That kid does no good, lazing around all day. What does it matter if he doesn't come home for a few days?"

As an outsider, Ye Qiu naturally feels it's not his place to say much.

However, some good news has been coming in these past few days.

Bai Lan's condition has been completely controlled, and the recovery effect is excellent.

The initially pallid face is now full of rosiness, and the previously immobile body can now sit up.

Watching Bai Lan get better day by day, Ye Qiu feels genuinely happy.

"Once you fully recover, I'll take you out to play."

"You said it yourself!"

If it were the old Bai Lan, she definitely wouldn't have spoken to Ye Qiu like this. However, after this incident, her feelings for Ye Qiu have reached a new height.

"I want to take a bath."

Ever since arriving in Jiangdong City, Bai Lan hasn't had a bath. Over the past few days, detoxification has made her feel sticky and extremely uncomfortable all over.

As a girl who loves beauty, she simply can't stand how she smells.

"Okay, I'll get you some hot water."

After preparing the hot water, Ye Qiu takes Bai Lan to the bathroom.

One thing worth mentioning is that Bai Lan is definitely a naturally beautiful woman. Even after the onslaught of illness, her skin remains soft and supple, showing no signs of impact.

Ye Qiu looks at the infinitely charming Bai Lan and can't help but get distracted.

As for the bath, it's already been put to the back of his mind.

A few hours later, Ye Qiu takes her back to the room and lets her rest well.

In just a moment, the weary Bai Lan falls asleep.

In contrast, Ye Qiu remains in a state of excitement. He doesn't choose to stay in Bai Lan's room but decides to go out for a walk.

Just as Ye Qiu steps out of Bai Lan's room, he hears a chaotic noise coming from outside.

The sound seems as if someone is smashing things, and there appear to be quite a few people.

The commotion is so loud that even Wang Haoran, who is deeply engrossed in his research, is disturbed.

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, disappointment flashes across everyone's faces.

They are all outdoor survival novices, lacking any experience. It looks like their study plans have fallen through.

Ye Qiu seems to notice everyone's disappointment and smiles, saying, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you starve."

"Really?"

"That's great!"

"Thank you!"

In an instant, many are moved to tears with gratitude.

Previously, some blamed Ye Qiu, thinking their misfortune was because of him, but Ye Qiu's words dissipated their anger. They were grateful for Ye Qiu's magnanimity in catching food and not forgetting them.

Even if the two fish were large, twenty-three people eating them would be too much. Ye Qiu didn't say much; he placed the two fish on the beach and turned back to dive into the sea.

A moment later, two more big fish came ashore.

After several dives, Ye Qiu brought up over a dozen big fish, enough for two people to share a fish, more than enough.

"I might not catch fish, but I'm a good hand at handling them. Leave these tasks to me."

"I'll help too. I used to run a restaurant. Killing fish, cooking fish, these are no problem for me."

Several others volunteered to help handle the fish.

For a moment, everyone on the beach seemed harmonious, with some handling fish and others starting fires.

Ye Qiu sat with Sha Beibei and Mia'er, roasting fish together.

"You should dry your coats. If you catch a cold, there's no medicine for you," Ye Qiu suggested to the two women.

Sha Beibei blushed at Ye Qiu's words and neither refused nor agreed.

Mia'er, on the other hand, who grew up in Europe, was more open. Without saying much, she used sticks to prop her clothes up and dry them nearby.

Seeing this, Sha Beibei hesitated because she was wearing a skirt. Drying her coat would mean exposing herself.

"Sister, what are you afraid of? Just treat it like the beach. There are many women wearing bikinis on the beach. See, I'm not wearing much either," Mia'er seemed to notice Sha Beibei's awkwardness and began to persuade her.

Sha Beibei looked at Mia'er and thought she made a good point. Given the circumstances, why was she being so sensitive?

"What are you looking at!"

Seeing Ye Qiu's gaze lingering on her, Sha Beibei scolded Ye Qiu with a shy glare.

"Uh, I wasn't looking, I wasn't..." Ye Qiu said awkwardly.

"Hmph, your eyes are about to fall out, and you say you weren't looking..."

"Ahem..." Being so blatantly called out, Ye Qiu knew he couldn't hide it. He simply admitted, "Hmm, your figure is quite nice!"

"Pervert..."

Under different circumstances, if anyone else had said that to her, Sha Beibei would have been upset. But for some reason, hearing Ye Qiu's blatant comment now, she didn't feel annoyed. Instead, a strange emotion lingered, one she couldn't quite describe.

While Sha Beibei didn't get angry, Mia'er beside her wasn't happy. "Doesn't my figure look good to you? You didn't even look?"

"Uh..."

Ye Qiu was speechless. What was this all about? He was damned if he looked and damned if he didn't. Women really are strange creatures.

Soon, the aroma of grilled fish filled the beach, and the sound of many swallowing echoed. Quite a few didn't care if the fish was fully cooked and started devouring it ravenously.

"Hot, hot, hot..."

The two women were blowing on the fish grilled by Ye Qiu, feeling it was too hot to swallow. Yet, they couldn't bear to spit out the fish because it was just too delicious, wasting it would be a crime!

"Is it that serious? If it's not enough, I'll just catch more." Watching the two women's actions, Ye Qiu couldn't help but say.

"Mind your own business!"

The two women glared at Ye Qiu before resuming their feast, seemingly unwilling to leave any for Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile, unfazed. The women's joyous manner helped relax his mood, making the earlier oppressive feelings vanish without a trace.

Then, Ye Qiu went back into the sea, caught another big fish, and started eating.

About half an hour later, everyone was full, and their clothes were all dried. They cleaned up and approached Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, we're not familiar with this island yet. Shouldn't we explore it further? Who knows, there might be some unexpected things inside?"

Many looked to Ye Qiu for guidance.

"Hmm, alright. Better understanding this island has only advantages for us, no disadvantages." Ye Qiu agreed with their suggestion and led the two women and the group deeper into the forest.

Deep in the forest, the vegetation towers into the sky, with abundant flora all around. Sunlight can't fully penetrate here, creating a slightly oppressive atmosphere.
