A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 23.4
Day 5.
The two of them woke up one after the other.
As soon as Li Yingxue sat up, Fu Man also woke up. Without saying a word, she reached out and took the black jacket that Li Yingxue had used as a pillow all night.
Put it on, get up, and go out.
It made Li Yingxue look at her a couple more times.
It was a bit noisy over at the director’s team, and upon inquiry, I found out that some of their jib equipment left by the seaside was broken.
“How did it break?” Fu Man asked.
The crew member replied to her, “I don’t know, it seems like something hit it.”
Di You also found it strange: “Could it be a wild animal, like a wild boar?”
Crew member: “Not clear.”
The director interjected, “It should be a wild boar.” After saying this, he reassured everyone that it was just some jib equipment that was broken, making it impossible to shoot aerial scenes, but it wouldn’t delay the filming of the wilderness survival show.
The director asked everyone to get ready to shoot and announced a new task.
Li Yingxue’s team continued to pair up, splitting into two teams to search for food.
After parting ways with Di You again, Fu Man and Li Yingxue also turned and entered the forest.
“Don’t you feel something’s off?”
Suddenly, Li Yingxue spoke up and asked.
“Where?” Fu Man looked around but didn’t notice anything wrong.
Li Yingxue glanced at the cameraman behind her, then lowered her gaze to the microphone headset clipped to Fu Man’s collar, and finally made eye contact with Fu Man.
Fu Man seemed to be lost in thought, probably guessing what she was talking about.
“Shall we go to the beach and take a look?”
Li Yingxue responded with an “mm,” and the two immediately hit it off and walked towards the beach.
[What are these two people talking about? Why can’t I understand anything at all?]
[Is this what they call chemistry?]
[What are they going to do at the beach?]
[Where exactly is it going wrong?]
[Are we going to the beach to catch seafood?]
The two of them arrived at the seaside and walked along the coastline until they saw the equipment parked by the director team.
But before they could get close, the director reminded them through the microphone not to go over; they were surviving in the wild, not on vacation.
Fu Man and Li Yingxue had no choice but to look around by the sea and pick up some shells.
Fu Man picked up a shell and said with a hint of meaning, “Maybe there’s nothing at all.”
Li Yingxue found it a bit suspicious that the jib equipment was broken, but the director couldn’t possibly be lying to them with so many people around.
This kind of thing can only be the work of beasts attacking in the jungle.
Li Yingxue stood beside her, looking down from a height, knowing she was using the shell to say something else.
“Let’s go.”
She threw down these words and turned to leave.
Fu Man dropped the shell, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth, “Captain, how about I go down and catch a lobster?”
Today, I have to go out and hunt for something to bring back.
Li Yingxue turned around and looked her up and down, not knowing what she was thinking, and did not agree to her decision to go to sea.
“It’s still early, let’s take a stroll in the forest.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to the captain.”
We went to the riverbank again. The rain from the day before yesterday caused the water level to rise, and it hasn’t receded yet.
Unable to catch any fish, they could only continue wandering in the forest.
By the time evening came, we still hadn’t found anything.
“Let me go into the sea.” Fu Man arrived at the seaside and skillfully began to take off her jacket.
Handed it to Li Yingxue.
Li Yingxue looked at her, then at the jacket in front of her, and finally turned her face away and accepted them.
Fu Man took off her combat boots again and asked her to keep an eye on them.
Then, slowly wading through the water, step by step, they walked towards the sea.
Li Yingxue stood on the beach, silent and smiling faintly, with a somewhat unapproachable demeanor.
As time goes by, the frequency of glancing at the sea surface unconsciously increases.
Just as she was about to move, a head suddenly emerged from the sea, revealing a striking profile.
Then that face turned around, and the deep eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
She raised what was in her hand, and it wasn’t a lobster, but a large conch.
“Can this be eaten?”
Fu Man actually didn’t know if it was edible; she just couldn’t see any special fish or shrimp at the bottom of the sea. Only these large sea conch were motionless and breathing. Thinking they were also marine creatures, she figured they should be edible when cooked.
“If I can’t eat it, I’ll throw it away and keep looking.”
Li Yingxue was quite speechless about her level of ignorance.
Fu Man started swimming over, and upon reaching the shore, walked straight towards Li Yingxue. Arriving in front of her, she handed her the two-pound conch.
Staring at her face without blinking, she asked, “Can you really eat it? Is it poisonous?”
Li Yingxue was not used to her gaze. Although there was no offense, she couldn’t tell if it was her illusion, but this person always had a subtle sense of teasing her.
“I don’t talk nonsense.”
Fu Man put it in and suggested, “Should I go catch a few more?”
“Get the best, don’t settle for just okay.”
A two-pound giant conch is actually not enough for four people, but it can barely fill their stomachs a bit.
Better than nothing.
“Then I’ll go catch a few more, otherwise you won’t be full.”
“……”
Fu Man turned around and submerged into the sea again. At this moment, the horizon was still faintly tinged with a bit of rosy color, soon to be dark.

The seawater rose to her feet, and Li Yingxue took a few steps back, her gaze fixed solemnly on the sea surface.
However, this time Fu Man returned even later, although she managed to catch two large sea conch without any major incidents.
“Why are you so late?” Li Yingxue asked, lifting her eyelids to look at her while holding her backpack with one hand.
Fu Man placed the two conch shells she was holding inside, then skillfully zipped up the bag, lifted the top handle, and naturally carried it in her hand.
“Played down there for a while.”
“……?”
Li Yingxue looked at her with an incomprehensible gaze for a while, as if the person in front of her had lost their mind.
Fu Man picked up her combat boots: “I just realized that the seabed is actually very beautiful.”
She just took so long to come up from the bottom of the sea because she actually swam very deep and saw a very wonderful underwater world.
Seeing her walking back, Li Yingxue glanced at the backpack she was carrying, said nothing, and took her jacket back with her.
[The two most amazing people in the entire variety show!]
[A jungler and a support, damn, the whole team got carried.]
[Di and Tang just lie flat and get food, they should really give half of their money to Fu and Li.]
[These two people are inexplicably a bit ship-worthy, and Fu Man even helped Li Yingxue carry her backpack.]
[So good to ship, Li Yingxue is still holding Fu Man’s jacket, lol]
Li Yingxue didn’t know that during these five days of the wilderness survival variety show live broadcast, her “vase” label had faded quite a bit.
Entering the forest, it was already getting dark.
Without the only flashlight on me, the way back is hard to distinguish.
The lighting from the cameraman behind them only illuminated them, barely lighting the way, and wouldn’t provide any extra help.
So they can only rely on themselves.
“Hiss——”
Fu Man was walking in front when she suddenly heard a low hiss from behind. Turning around, she saw Li Yingxue had accidentally brushed against a thorny plant and had scratched the back of her hand.
She immediately furrowed her brows and pulled her hand over.
“Let me take a look.”
The moment her fingertip was grasped, Li Yingxue’s nerves jolted, and she instinctively struggled and pulled back.
Just failed.
She glared at the woman in front of her, who was looking down at her own wounds, her gaze gradually turning icy.
“It’s bleeding.”
Fu Man put down her backpack, took out an iodine swab from another small pocket of the backpack, and applied a simple treatment to her.
“It’s not very serious, let’s leave it at that for now.”
After dealing with the matter, Fu Man picked up her backpack and led the way forward. After taking a few steps, she suddenly realized that Li Yingxue should not be able to see the road, which was why she got hurt.
So she turned back again, looked at Li Yingxue, who stood motionless with a cold gaze piercing through her, grabbed her wrist, and led her forward.
However, Li Yingxue didn’t move, still secretly holding onto her anger and struggling with all her might.
Fu Man stood firm against the eight winds, still holding on tightly. Through the dim night, she looked at Li Yingxue’s hazy yet elegant frost-white face and said, “I can see the road clearly.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yingxue’s struggles noticeably lessened.
Fu Man pulled forward a bit, and she could also pull people along.
The two people walked through the dense jungle.
“There’s a branch sticking out right in front of you.”
Fu Man tugged her hand down a bit, and the person she was holding slightly ducked to avoid it.
“There’s a small slope ahead, about ten centimeters high.”
The surroundings have completely darkened, my vision is severely blurred, and I can’t focus at all, let alone see anything clearly.
Li Yingxue slowed her pace, cautiously descending the slope, perhaps unwilling to accept help from Fu Man, yet having no choice but to temporarily rely on her. In the darkness, her face was filled with detachment and resistance.
After finally returning near the cave, barely able to see the light, Li Yingxue didn’t think twice and directly broke free from Fu Man’s restraints.
“……”
This person uses you and then throws you away, right?
Fu Man’s gaze shifted from Li Yingxue’s back to her own palm.
Delicate.
Soft.
Still holding it.
For a long time.
