Chapter 617: Moral Kidnapping? No Such Thing!

Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Moral Kidnapping? No Such Thing!

The cabin wasn’t far from the lake, just around fifty meters away.

However, for Jiang Cheng, that fifty meters took over ten minutes to traverse.

The storm was pouring down, and even with a raincoat, he was completely soaked.

At the same time, Su Yinwan’s cries for help gradually filtered into his ears amidst the sound of wind and rain.

"Help ... is there anyone ... help ..."

Seeing the dark figure approaching her in the heavy rain, Su Yinwan’s dying hope reignited.

The system also reminded her: "Host, it’s the antagonist, your plan has succeeded."

Su Yinwan’s lips curled up slightly, clinging even harder to the drifting piece of wood.

She knew Jiang Cheng wouldn’t just ignore her.

So, she began to shout louder with all the strength she could muster.

Jiang Cheng clearly grew anxious and bolted towards the shore, throwing a life preserver to her.

"Sister Xiao Wan, grab it, it’s me, Jiang Cheng, I’m here to save you!"

Su Yinwan cried tears of joy, but at the same time, she looked at him with a reproachful gaze.

"Chengcheng? What are you doing out here in such a severe storm? Go back, it’s dangerous here!"

"I can’t leave you here, Sister Xiao Wan. Just wait, I’m coming down to rescue you."

"Chengcheng, please, obey me, go back."

She tried her best to play the role of a caring big sister, but clearly, the audience wasn’t buying it anymore.

"I can’t take it anymore, what are these two playing at with their tragic romance in such danger?"

"I was just feeling sorry for Su Yinwan; now it seems, well, she deserves it."

"Can’t watch this anymore. Can the crew intervene and airlift these two out?"

"I’m so affected I want to rinse my eyes."

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was a fairly good swimmer and, despite such a heavy storm, he managed to swim up to where Su Yinwan was.

"Sister Xiao Wan, I told you, I would protect you."

After securing the lifebuoy around her, Jiang Cheng struggled to drag her towards the shore.

Finally, half an hour later, when he was nearly exhausted, he managed to pull her onto dry land.

Su Yinwan spat out several mouthfuls of water before going to check on Jiang Cheng.

"Chengcheng, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

[Ding—Jiang Cheng’s affinity +5! Currently remaining at 93.]

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, "I am fine, Sister Xiao Wan, as long as you are safe."

Su Yinwan nodded, "That’s good."

Then she looked around and her gaze faltered when she saw the dimly lit cabin, "Chengcheng, it’s too dangerous here, let’s quickly find a place to take shelter."

Jiang Cheng nodded, quickly got up from the ground and held Su Yinwan.

"Sister Xiao Wan, follow me. We built a cabin, it’s very safe. You can take shelter there with us."

"Okay."

Seeing that she had escaped danger, Su Yinwan breathed a sigh of relief and followed Jiang Cheng, staggering step by step toward the cabin.

Having been in the lake water for so long, her whole body was numb with cold, and her stomach was empty.

At this moment, looking at the warm and food-scented house, she felt both envy and jealousy.

Jiang Li must have manipulated those men again to build such a good spot for her, right?

Why?

She was clearly meant to be the protagonist of this world.

Why was it always her who suffered?

Thinking this, Su Yinwan felt even more aggrieved and urged Jiang Cheng beside her.

"Chengcheng, what are you waiting for? Knock on the door, I can’t hold on much longer."

[? Why do I feel like these two are morally blackmailing?]

[Huh? Jiang Cheng isn’t thinking about going back, is he? What does this mean? If he wants to enjoy, just give up his rights and go home. Why stay on this island and struggle between life and death?]

Jiang Cheng bit his lip, clearly hesitant.

After all, he had made a harsh statement before he came out; begging to go back now would be like slapping his own face, wouldn’t it?

Jiang Li had no obligation to shelter them, right?

"Chengcheng....." Su Yinwan, pale-faced, staggered where she stood.

Jiang Cheng panicked instantly, no longer caring about anything else, he began frantically knocking on the door.

"Open the door, Sister! Open the door please, Sister Xiao Wan is very weak now, you guys need to get her inside quickly."

The people inside the house, hearing the noise, all put down what they were doing and looked towards Jiang Li.

Zhao Lang glanced outside the window, "Do you want me to take care of it?"

"No need." Jiang Li closed her book and stood up, "My brother, naturally I will handle it."

Saying so, she pushed away her chair and stepped forward.

Jiang Yan, full of resentment, wanted to follow her.

"What’s the meaning of this, begging at the door now? Didn’t that boy just arrogantly claim he would save everyone by himself?"

Shang Shuyue quickly grabbed him and shook her head, "Don’t add to the chaos, Jiang Li will handle it."

"But..."

Bai Lu casually picked up a piece of coconut meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sister Yue is right, have some coconut to cool down."

Jiang Li didn’t open the door but stood by the window, coldly watching the two people outside being battered by the wind and rain.

Seeing her, Jiang Cheng ran over holding his cap, bit his lip and hesitated, "Sister, it’s me; could you open the door and let us in to take shelter for a while?"

Jiang Li’s lips curved into a shallow smile, "Jiang Cheng, I think I made myself very clear just now. Since you chose to leave, don’t regret your own decision."

"But Sister, are you really going to stand by and watch us die?"

Jiang Li squinted her eyes, "Is anyone dying? The program’s rescue team is just three hundred meters away. If there’s a need, why not call the professionals instead of morally blackmailing me as a guest?"

"But..."

"This house is my design, my construction, I have the final say over its usage. I’ll give you one last chance. You can come in, but she can’t." Jiang Li’s gaze deepened as she looked at the bedraggled Su Yinwan, "If you want to come in, pay two thousand points, otherwise why should I let you stay? This is a competition show, isn’t it?"

[Jiang Li is too much, even at this time she’s thinking about points.]

[What? Aren’t we in an era where Bodhisattvas are everywhere?]

[Seriously, if you want to see kindness and beauty, switch to the charity assistance program next door. Why watch Wilderness Survival?]

[Awesome! Sister Li did well!]

[Exactly, why play the saint and let them in? It’s not theirs to claim!]

Being scrutinized by those slightly mocking eyes, Su Yinwan felt humiliated.

Looking at Jiang Cheng beside her, she became even more resentful.

Is he really a villain? He couldn’t even manage the simple task of getting them into the house!

"Jiang Cheng, can’t you plead with Jiang Li? She’s your own sister. If you beg her, she certainly won’t be heartless."
