Upon hearing Tang Xueying's words, Luo Feng spoke up: "This banana isn't just big—it's incredibly delicious too.
Hurry up and try one.
It can restore your stamina."
When Luo Feng said this, Tang Xuewei suddenly realized she'd been thinking about something rather inappropriate.
Instantly, her face flushed slightly pink.
Such were the troubles of being a veteran driver.
Tang Xuewei was truly tired of instantly understanding such innuendos.
What made it worse was that Luo Feng was just having a normal conversation, yet her mind had already wandered into suggestive territory.
She couldn't possibly explain this misunderstanding either—doing so would only make things more awkward.
Cutting off these thoughts, Tang Xuewei quickly picked up one of the massive Golden Bananas.
Holding it with one hand, she peeled it with the other.
Then she took a big bite, swallowing the Golden Banana whole.
After finishing it, Tang Xuewei began to feel her stamina gradually recovering.
Earlier, she had expended quite a bit of energy while salvaging materials.
Now, she felt like she could work for several more hours without issue.
Realizing this, she said, "Luo Feng, thank you so much for the banana.
The effect is really impressive."
Luo Feng replied, "No need to thank me—it came from the wooden chest you gave me.
If you find any more treasure chests in the future, you can keep sending them my way."
Tang Xuewei was surprised to hear that such good items could come from her Wooden Treasure Chest.
This meant her contributions were actually quite valuable.
She nodded and said, "Got it, I'll keep working hard.
After eating your banana, I feel super motivated."
"Ah! There's a Great White Shark here!
Luo Feng, what do I do?
Am I going to get eaten?
I don't want to die yet!"
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Xuewei spotted a Great White Shark rapidly approaching her direction.
Hearing the panic in Tang Xueying's voice, Luo Feng was startled—he hadn't expected her to encounter a Great White Shark before him.
Without hesitation, he said, "I'll send you Perfect Raft Boards.
Upgrade your Wooden Raft immediately—that should keep the shark at bay for now."
[Perfect Raft Board *16] traded for [Nothing]
Still trembling with fear, Tang Xuewei said, "Luo Feng, I'm so scared!
That shark looks terrifying, and it's moving so fast!"
Luo Feng understood how frightening this must be for an ordinary girl.
But if she didn't use the Perfect Raft Boards right away, she might end up as shark food.
At this thought, Luo Feng quickly spoke up, "Hurry, listen to my instructions. Use the Perfect Raft Board I gave you to upgrade your wooden raft right now.
Don't be afraid. Relax, I'm here.
Trust me, I'll save you.
I don't want to lose you like this."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Tang Xuewei, who had been extremely panicked just moments ago, suddenly felt a deep stirring in her heart.
Her tense emotions gradually began to calm down.
Is this what it feels like to be cared for and valued?
Is this the legendary love?
But there was no time for her to dwell on such thoughts now.
She said softly, "I believe you."
With that, Tang Xuewei quickly used the Perfect Raft Board Luo Feng had given her to upgrade her small wooden raft.
Just as she finished upgrading the raft's boards, the Great White Shark arrived.
The Great White Shark opened its massive jaws, its razor-sharp teeth aiming straight for the raft.
Tang Xuewei, witnessing this terrifying sight, was utterly frozen in fear.
When the Great White Shark bit down on the Perfect Raft Board, there was a loud crack.
The shark's teeth shattered.
Realizing how sturdy the raft was, the Great White Shark circled it a few times before finally swimming away.
Only after the shark had left did Tang Xuewei finally let out the breath she'd been holding.
She exhaled deeply in relief.
At that very moment, Luo Feng's message came through again.
"Are you okay? Were you hurt? Did the Great White Shark leave?"
Hearing Luo Feng's voice, Tang Xuewei felt a warm glow in her heart and replied, "I'm fine now. I can't thank you enough this time.
You saved my life. I don't even know how to repay you."
Luo Feng, hearing Tang Xuewei's words, chuckled and said, "For saving your life, the proper repayment is to pledge yourself to me."
"Sure, if we ever meet, I'll agree to marry you."
Luo Feng was completely stunned by her response.
He had only meant to lighten the tense mood with a playful joke.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect her to actually agree.
In his mind, an image surfaced—her breathtaking beauty and tall, graceful figure.
Before this, Luo Feng had occasionally fantasized about her becoming his girlfriend.
After all, they were already college students; dating wasn't out of the question.
But now, in this oceanic survival world, if she were the only one who had entered, Luo Feng saw it as a golden opportunity.
Surviving alone at sea could get lonely, after all.
With that in mind, Luo Feng replied, "You said it yourself. When we meet, don't you dare go back on your word."
Only then did Tang Xuewei realize she had spoken impulsively in the heat of the moment.
But since the words were already out, backing out now would be inexcusable.
