Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

Looking at her, Lin Fan felt that the time was about right.

He picked up the bowl again, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her lips.

"Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense."

"You're not alone anymore. You're eating for two, so you need to think more positively."

Su Qingxue turned her face away and snorted coldly, "Benefits?"

In her more than twenty years of life, Su Qingxue had never felt so miserable. She spoke to herself, "What good can there be to be done on this wretched island?"

"Of course."

Lin Fan said in a serious tone, "Now, you're in a position of status because of your child."

"..."

Su Qingxue was stunned.

She looked at Lin Fan with the eyes of someone who thought he was crazy.

Is a mother's status elevated by her son's?

Did she hear that right?

These four words sound utterly out of place coming from the mouth of a 21st-century intern.

"A mother's status rises with her son's? Lin Fan, who do you think you are?"

"The Emperor?"

Lin Fan was amused upon hearing this.

He put down the spoon and began to speak slowly and deliberately.

"President Su, there's a problem with your question."

"Here, aren't I the local tyrant?"

"..."

Su Qingxue stared blankly, her mind blank for a good ten seconds.

Local tyrant?

Yes.

On this isolated, deserted island.

This man, wielding the only weapon and possessing the strongest survival skills, is indispensable to both men and women.

He can decide the life and death of everyone.

If he's not a local tyrant, then what is he?

And she, Su Qingxue, once the high and mighty CEO of a conglomerate, a proud daughter of billions, is now just a helpless pregnant woman who even needs to be supported by him.

The huge gap in their social status and the harsh reality made her feel lost once again.

Seeing her dejected look, Lin Fan thought, "Anyone knows how to comfort a woman."

"Mr. Su, let me tell you a joke."

Su Qingxue: "?"

"Once upon a time, there was a man fishing, and he caught a squid."

The squid begged him: "Please let me go, don't roast me and eat me!"

The person said: "Okay, then I'll ask you a few questions."

The squid was delighted: "Go ahead and take the test! Go ahead and take the test!"

"Then, that person grilled the squid."

"..."

Su Qingxue: "Are you finished?"

"Okay, that's all."

Silence fell once again inside the cave.

Su Qingxue stared blankly at Lin Fan, completely missing the point of the joke.

Even Lin Fan himself felt the air suddenly turn cold after he finished speaking.

Gan!

That joke is so lame.

Sure enough, I really don't have much of a sense of humor.

In this awkward atmosphere.

"Pfft... Hahaha..."

A very soft, barely suppressed laugh escaped from Su Qingxue's lips.

She didn't know why she was laughing.

Perhaps this joke is just too lame; when it's cold to the extreme, it becomes hot.

Or perhaps, looking at this "local tyrant" who was telling lame jokes with a straight face, and his handsome but expressionless face, created a strange and comical contrast.

She was laughing, and then tears started falling.

It was a mixture of grievance, despair, absurdity, and a trace of emotion that she herself couldn't quite explain.

She was laughing through her tears.

Seeing her crazy state of crying and laughing, Lin Fan didn't say anything more, but silently brought the bowl of porridge to her lips once again.

This time, Su Qingxue did not dodge.

She lowered her head and, with Lin Fan's help, slowly ate the bowl of meat porridge, which was no longer warm.

After finishing the bowl of porridge, Lin Fan asked, "Would you like more?"

Su Qingxue shook her head, and Lin Fan took the bowl away.

Su Qingxue looked at Lin Fan's back and suddenly spoke, "Lin Fan."

"Um?"

"I suddenly have a craving for something sour..."

Lin Fan didn't turn around. Looking at Lin Fan's back, Su Qingxue felt that she had gone too far.

On this deserted island, being able to eat is already a blessing, and I even crave something sour—where am I supposed to find that?

"Lin Fan, actually I'm not like that..."

"When Zhou Kai and the others come back from gathering firewood, I'll go into the woods and find you some sour wild berries!"

Su Qingxue was about to say that she didn't really want to eat it, but when she heard Lin Fan's reply, she smiled and said, "Okay."

Lin Fan's figure disappeared.

Su Qingxue remarked that, apart from being poor, this man seemed pretty good in every other way.

And what this man lacked, Su Qingxue possessed.

Back in civilized society, she wasn't so bothered by Lin Fan becoming a live-in son-in-law.

Just as she was lost in thought, what she saw in front of her interrupted Su Qingxue.

"Lin Fan..." she suddenly spoke.

Lin Fan rushed into the cubicle, "What's wrong?"

"I... my eyes..." Su Qingxue's voice became even more uncertain, "Is there... something in front of me?"

Lin Fan raised his head and looked in the direction Su Qingxue was looking.

Directly in front of her was a canvas with a rock face on top, and nothing else.

hallucinations.

This was Lin Fan's first reaction.

Excessive mental stress, coupled with extreme physical weakness, can lead to visual and auditory hallucinations, which is a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon.

Lin Fan walked up to him with a cheeky grin. "What, Mr. Su, do you want to tell me a lame joke too?"

"Are you going to wait until I walk in front of you before pointing at me and saying, 'There's a Lin Fan in front of you,'?"

"President Su, this approach is outdated."

"No...no..."

"There really is something in front of me!"
