Raft for All: I'm guaranteed to get a golden affix when I upgrade!

The latest chapter has ignited the plot! Stay tuned for more updates.

Xiao Zheng scoffed.

"Put a planting box in the middle? You're planning to share a bed with the dragon fruit tree?"

Lin Xiaoya's cheeks flushed red, but she still refused to admit defeat: "Then... then let's put a supply box there."

"The supply box is taller than the planting box."

Xiao Zheng stood up and patted the sea salt stains off his trousers.

He walked to the wooden bed and sat down.

The mattress is slightly concave.

Lin Xiaoya stood there, stunned.

"Still standing?" Xiao Zheng moved further in, leaning against the headboard.

"You...you didn't say you were keeping watch?"

"Two hours is enough."

Xiao Zheng put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

Lin Xiaoya stood by the bed without moving.

A canvas blanket was draped over his shoulders, and a gust of sea breeze caused the hem of his shirt to flutter up.

She quickly reached out and pressed it down.

"Are you coming up or not?" Xiao Zheng asked without opening his eyes.

"If you don't lie down by the time I count to three, I'll take the blanket away, and you'll have to squat in the corner and freeze all night."

"Are you threatening me?"

"one."

"you--"

"two."

Lin Xiaoya gritted her teeth and stiffly climbed onto the bed.

She was pressed against the outermost edge of the bed, her whole body tense, a full twenty centimeters away from Xiao Zheng.

The blanket was pulled up to his chin.

The two people lay flat on their backs, with a gap between them.

The waves lapped against the bottom of the raft at a slow pace.

The flames crackled in the barbecue grill, and warmth emanated from the right.

"Move in a little more," Xiao Zheng said.

"what?"

"If you move just half an inch further out, you'll fall down."

Lin Xiaoya looked down.

My left shoulder was already hanging off the edge of the bed.

She reluctantly moved a few centimeters in.

Her back touched Xiao Zheng's arm.

That arm was very hot.

It's not the kind of fever that's just a false fever; it's the real, solid temperature of a living person.

The circulation of blood and qi due to his physical constitution caused his entire arm to dissipate heat.

Lin Xiaoya's body tensed up.

Xiao Zheng didn't move.

Breathing is steady.

She slowly exhaled and tried to adjust her posture.

The single bed is only this big.

No matter how you lie down, your shoulders, elbows, and forearms will always touch each other.

She simply stopped moving.

Staring at the night sky above.

There were no clouds, and the stars were very dense.

"Senior."

"Um."

Are you really not sleepy?

"Sleepy."

"Then shut up, and I'll shut up too."

Xiao Zheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't reply.

There was silence for about three minutes.

The sea breeze changed direction and came from the northwest, causing the temperature to drop even further.

Lin Xiaoya shivered.

The shirt couldn't block the wind; the chill went straight to my bones.

She shrank to the right.

Be near a heat source.

The shoulder blades were pressed against Xiao Zheng's side ribs.

She didn't dare to move again.

Xiao Zheng turned his head and glanced at her.

The girl curled up in a ball, the blanket wrapped under her nose, leaving only her eyes staring out.

There was absolutely no sign of them wanting to sleep.

He turned over, facing Lin Xiaoya's side.

Lin Xiaoya held her breath.

Xiao Zheng reached out and pulled the canvas blanket over her, tucking her in tightly.

When I pulled my hand back, it touched her shoulder.

The shirt collar was askew, revealing a patch of skin that looked white in the firelight.

His hand paused for a moment.

Withdraw your hand and lie back down.

Sleep peacefully.

Lin Xiaoya remained silent.

A while later.

"Senior."

"If you call me again, I'll throw you into the sea."

Lin Xiaoya was not intimidated.

"On the first night, I asked you to buy me a torch. At that time, I felt that it would be enough to be able to talk to a living person, so that I wouldn't be too lonely when I died."

"And then you even gave me cabbage, coconut, and crab meat."

"Come pick me up today."

She paused for a few seconds.

"I almost cried when I went up to the deck. And I did cry."

"She cried," Xiao Zheng corrected.

Lin Xiaoya did not refute.

"So, senior, thank you."

"Are you done talking?"

"That's all."

"Then go to sleep quickly."

It was quiet for a while.

This time, it was Xiao Zheng who spoke first.

"You've already done a remarkable job, drifting alone at sea."

"From now on, I won't have to be alone."

Lin Xiaoya did not reply.

Under the blanket, her hand clutched the front of her shirt.

It was gripped very tightly.

Another gust of wind swept in.

The temperature is still dropping.

Lin Xiaoya trembled and leaned her shoulder towards Xiao Zheng.

Lean on it again.

Her forehead pressed directly against his chest.

Through the T-shirt, she could feel the rise and fall of his chest and the scalding heat emanating from it.

Xiao Zheng lowered his head.

From this angle, all you can see are the stray hairs scattered on the top of her head and the back of her neck.

The shirt slipped down to below the shoulder.

She was curled up, pressed very tightly against the wall.

Xiao Zheng was silent for two seconds, then reached out and pulled her closer to him.

An arm rested on her shoulder.

Lin Xiaoya tensed up at first, and then gradually relaxed.

The heat was conducted through the contact surface, dispelling the chill.

She didn't look up.

My heart is beating very fast.

"Senior."

"Um."

Your heart is beating so fast.

"illusion."

It's not an illusion.

His heightened perception allowed him to capture every detail clearly.

The warmth, weight, and snug fit of the body in my arms, the distinct contours beneath the shirt.

He closed his eyes and forced himself to think about other things.

What is the mutation progress of the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree?

Catalysts for tomorrow.

Is the timber inventory enough to build houses?

Lin Xiaoya raised her head.

Close at hand.

The firelight reflected on her face, casting a small shadow on her eyelashes.

She looked at him.

Xiao Zheng also looked at her.

No one speaks.

Lin Xiaoya came closer.

The movements were clumsy.

But I didn't get a refund.

The two of them froze for a moment as they pressed against each other.

Her lips were cold.

I just finished eating cabbage, and it still has a slightly sweet taste.

Xiao Zheng's right hand slid from her shoulder to the back of her head and pressed down.

Xiao Zheng's right hand slid from her shoulder to the back of her head and pressed down.

Lin Xiaoya let out a muffled groan.

The blanket was kicked aside.

The canvas fell onto the deck.

Lin Xiaoya's breathing was fragmented, her fingers gripping the fabric of his T-shirt tightly.

Two buttons on the shirt popped off during the scuffle, but nobody paid any attention.

The flames on the barbecue grill flickered on and off, tossed about by the sea breeze.

For a moment, Lin Xiaoya muttered something.

The sound was too soft and was drowned out by the waves.

Xiao Zheng didn't stop.

On the 100-square-meter deck, there are no walls and no roof.

The sea was pitch black, and the wind howled.

The jade-green cabbage in the planting box on the east side gleamed with a faint green light.

I spent most of the night tossing and turning.

Lin Xiaoya was completely exhausted and collapsed onto Xiao Zheng.

His breathing was shallow and even; he was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Zheng placed one hand on her lower back, while the other hand dangled off the edge of the bed.

He stared at the starry sky above for a while, then closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the sun had already risen.

The sunlight on the sea was completely unobstructed, hitting the deck directly.

heat.

The perceived temperature is 35 degrees Celsius or higher.

Xiao Zheng's forehead was covered in sweat, and his back was soaked against the mattress.

He glanced down at it.

Lin Xiaoya was still clinging to him, not awake.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheek was pressed against his chest, and her mouth was slightly open.

The shirt was askew, with the shoulders and most of the back exposed and sunburned.

Xiao Zheng touched her shoulder with the back of his hand.

hot.

I've already started to get sunburned.

He looked up and glanced around.

The 100-square-meter deck offers an unobstructed view.

There are no walls, no roof, not even a sunshade.

The dragon fruit tree in the planting box has grown a few more leaves, but the shade is far from enough.
