Chapter 2: I Really Am Not a Pervert.

Li Chenfeng dragged the woman to the shore and then carried her quickly to a shady spot.

“Ning Jingjing!” Lu Xinyao cried, clearly astonished.

Ning Jingjing was in the same class as Li Chenfeng and was considered a good friend of Lu Xinyao; she was mischievous and cute, and had long ranked among the school’s Top 10 prettiest girls.

“She’s still breathing,” Li Chenfeng said as he checked Ning Jingjing’s nose.

System prompt: 『Companion’s vital signs are unstable; please cool them and replenish fluids promptly.』

Li Chenfeng looked at Ning Jingjing in a sailor uniform and noted that the polyester material was extremely non-breathable.

Following the system prompt, Li Chenfeng prepared to loosen her clothes to allow airflow, and he had just put his hand on the collar to unbutton it.

Lu Xinyao stomped her feet and shouted loudly, “Ah… pervert!”

“Then you do it.”

“Huh? What am I supposed to do?”

“Take off her clothes.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, take off her clothes so she can get some air and cool down; I’ll go look along the beach to see if there’s any water for her to drink.”

“Oh…” Lu Xinyao said awkwardly, feeling ashamed because she had not realized that Li Chenfeng’s actions were meant to save their companion and had earlier suspected ill intent.

Lu Xinyao immediately unbuttoned Ning Jingjing’s top and found a broad leaf nearby to fan her with.

Li Chenfeng, with his backpack on, searched along the stretch of coastline but found only a few empty bottles and not a drop of drinkable freshwater.

Just when they were at a loss, the system voice sounded: 『A coconut tree is detected ahead; a source of potable water can be obtained.』

Following the indicated direction, they looked and one of them exclaimed, “Great, Ning Jingjing is saved now!”

Before anyone could react, Li Chenfeng started picking coconuts, and fortunately the trees were not tall; at 178 cm he could tiptoe and easily twist them down.

“1, 2, 3, that’s enough.”

System prompt: 『Task complete! Stamina +10! Talent +10!』

He stuffed the coconuts into his backpack and immediately headed back.

Back at the camp, Li Chenfeng looked at Ning Jingjing in her light clothing and felt his pulse quicken instantly.

(Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony…) Li Chenfeng mentally chanted the slogans to himself, trying hard to calm down.

“Ahem, how is she? I brought back coconuts.”

“She is still unconscious and hasn’t woken up.”

Li Chenfeng felt Ning Jingjing’s forehead, cheeks, and the palms of her hands.

“No, she’s still too hot.”

“Then… what should we do?”

Li Chenfeng looked around and his gaze suddenly fixed on Ning Jingjing’s mid-calf socks, which were pure cotton, breathable and absorbent enough to be used as a towel.

Without time to hesitate, Li Chenfeng reached down and pulled off Ning Jingjing’s socks, revealing her pink little feet, and his recently calmed pulse surged again.

He scolded himself inwardly, reminding himself that this was no time for such thoughts.

Li Chenfeng immediately snapped back to reality, hurriedly wetted the sock in seawater, and filled several empty bottles with seawater to bring back.

“Senior, use the wet ‘towel’ to wipe her body and cool her down; the seawater in the bottles can wash her hands and feet, and as the seawater evaporates it will take away some heat; I’ll go see how to extract the coconut water.”

“Okay, leave this to me.”

Li Chenfeng, holding the large coconut, hesitated because opening that hard shell without tools would take some effort.

He placed the pointed end of the coconut upright on the ground, found a large rock and struck it a few times until the fibrous husk began to loosen, then peeled the outer husk away as if peeling a pomelo.

Then he located the bottom of the coconut and noticed three small round indentations; he used a sharp stone to pierce one of them and struck it hard with another stone as a hammer, and after a few blows the coconut opened successfully.

Li Chenfeng quickly plugged a clean plastic bottle into the opening, turned the coconut over to let the juice flow into the bottle, and one coconut filled an entire bottle with some to spare.

He hurried to take the coconut juice and prepare to feed it to Ning Jingjing.

Lu Xinyao looked excitedly at the full bottle of coconut juice in Li Chenfeng’s hand and said, “Chenfeng, you’re amazing!”

“Hehe. Don’t praise me, I’m afraid I’ll float away.”

“I realized today that you’re really amazing!”

“If you praise me any more I’ll be embarrassed.”

“Haha, you’re so cute!”

Praised by the school beauty, Li Chenfeng felt secretly thrilled, (The school beauty called me cute), and he cleared his throat to say, “Ahem, let’s feed Ning Jingjing some coconut juice first.”

“Okay.”

Li Chenfeng held Ning Jingjing with his left arm and gently pinched her cheek with his right hand to keep her mouth open so Lu Xinyao could feed her the coconut juice.

Lu Xinyao unscrewed the plastic bottle cap and slowly poured the coconut juice a little at a time into Ning Jingjing’s mouth.

Although Ning Jingjing had not yet regained consciousness, she still swallowed the sweet coconut juice with effort, perhaps driven by her body’s survival instinct.

System prompt: 『Task complete! Stamina +10! Talent +10!』

Li Chenfeng handed the coconut shell to Lu Xinyao and said, “Senior, drink a little more.”

“Thank you,” Lu Xinyao said as she took the coconut and began gulping it down.

“There’s some left; you drink too!”

Having rescued someone and searched for water, Li Chenfeng was already parched, but with limited resources he tried his best to prioritize these two weak girls.

Li Chenfeng licked his lips and finished the remaining coconut juice in one gulp.

Lu Xinyao looked at Li Chenfeng’s prominent Adam’s apple and, thinking that they had effectively kissed indirectly, couldn’t help blushing.

Li Chenfeng did not notice Lu Xinyao’s little feelings.

Lu Xinyao felt a bit discouraged and said, “Sigh, I don’t know if anyone will come to rescue us in this situation.”

“As long as the green hills remain, we won’t be short of firewood; keep fighting to stay alive and there will surely be hope, Senior.”

With two beautiful women by his side, life on the island was not so bad and Li Chenfeng was able to keep his composure, after all having the Survival System made surviving a little easier.

“Cough, cough,” Ning Jingjing let out weakly.

Lu Xinyao hurried over in concern and asked, “Jingjing, how are you? Are you feeling better?”

“I… where am I?”

Ning Jingjing struggled to sit up, looked around, felt a coolness in her chest, and then looked down to find that all the buttons on her clothes had been undone, leaving only a bra.

“Ah, you pervert!” she screamed, quickly grabbing at her clothes to cover herself.

Li Chenfeng waved his hands and hurriedly explained, “No, no, it’s not what you think.”

Lu Xinyao patted Ning Jingjing’s shoulder and said, “It’s not like that; when we pulled you out of the sea your body temperature was too high, so we unbuttoned you to save you.”

Ning Jingjing stared with her large almond-shaped eyes and said in a wronged tone, “Oh, so that’s how it was; I was wrong to blame you.”

Lu Xinyao smiled and said, “Great, Jingjing has woken up too.”

“What should we do next?”

The two of them stared at Li Chenfeng in unison with eyes full of expectation, and seeing the eager looks on the two beautiful girls’ faces, Li Chenfeng immediately felt a heavy sense of responsibility.

Li Chenfeng paced back and forth for a while and then said, “Hmm… we have water, so we need to solve the food and shelter issue first.”
