At this time, Mao'er had changed into dry clothes and looked at Chen Jie with a smile.
Chen Jie looked at the innocent smile on Mao'er's face and felt a little complicated. He always maintained his wariness towards strangers, even if they were an innocent-looking little girl.
"They all call you captain, can I also call you captain?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie with a smile on his face, with expectations on his face.
"Okay, my name is Chen Jie, you can call me whatever you want."
Chen Jie nodded, walked to the fire, and warmed his hands. When he raised his head, he saw three girls on the bed, each of them secretly looking at him with curious eyes.
Looking at the actions of the three girls, Chen Jie was a little helpless. Could it be that he drove the three girls to sleep just to be alone with Mao'er?
"Captain Chen, I heard that you fell here in a plane crash?
Is this happening?"
Mao'er hugged her knees and looked at Chen Jie with a smile, like an innocent and curious girl, full of interest in the stories around Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's face tightened, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the three girls. When he saw that each of them quickly dug their heads into the leather, Chen Jie withdrew his gaze.
I didn't expect that in such a short time, the three girls would explain their true identity clearly. They were really innocent.
Aren't you afraid that Mao'er is an undercover agent sent by the enemy and plans to infiltrate them all?
"Um."
Feeling annoyed, Chen Jie responded anyway, his eyes kept circling on the fire, as if he had no interest in the cat in front of him.
"Wow, you are so lucky to have survived the plane crash. When I go back, I will definitely write this incident into my report. This will definitely be my best graduation thesis."
Mao'er said excitedly, full of curiosity about Chen Jie.
"You haven't graduated yet?"
Chen Jie caught the key point of Mao'er's words, raised his head, and carefully looked at Mao'er in front of him.
Looking at her little palm-sized face and her pair of big black eyes, illuminated by the fire, they looked even more kind, like little stars in the sky.
Coupled with the innocent smile on the cat's face, it is really easy to lose your mind.
But Chen Jie, who is known as the straight man of steel, will naturally not be confused by the smile on Mao'er's face. Instead, he always feels that the smile on Mao'er's face is a bit weird.
Are cats too adaptable?
Even if a cat loves jungle adventures, it will show such a sweet smile just after coming back from the hell gate.
Even a grown man like him might not be able to compare with this kind of magnanimity.
"Captain Chen Jie, why are you looking at me like this?
Is there something dirty on my face?"
Mao'er reached out and touched his face, feeling inexplicably weak.
"Cat, how many people are there on your boat?
Are you traveling?
Or are you here for inspection?”
Chen Jie ignored Mao'er's question, but changed his approach and asked Mao'er.
"I just came out for fun, because it's summer vacation, and our professor is going to explore an unknown island. I want to see if I can discover some new species so that more people can understand nature. Our professor is a very great
PhD in Biology.”
Mao'er said proudly, full of respect for the professor he spoke of.
"So that's it, you also studied biology?"
Chen Jie nodded and pretended to believe it, but in fact he didn't believe what Maoer said at all.
"Well, I love biology very much, but I am only a freshman and I don't understand many things. I still need the guidance of professors."
Mao'er spoke modestly, always maintaining an elegant smile on her face, which made people think that Mao'er was a very gentle and skillful girl.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. There is a small bed here. Can you make do with it?"
Chen Jie pointed to the place behind him, where things were originally placed.
It is a small tatami customized by Chen Jie. It is about 20 centimeters close to the ground. It is a small shelf deliberately built to keep clothes from getting wet. It can also be used for sleeping and resting.
Originally, Chen Jie planned to sleep separately with the three girls, but the three girls refused, so Chen Jie improved it and turned it into a storage rack.
"I sleep here, where will you sleep?"
Mao'er looked at the small tatami on the ground, then turned around and looked at the place where the three girls were sleeping. The empty seats there could accommodate one person, and it was more than enough for four people to sleep.
Why let her sleep alone?
It wasn't because they were on guard against her, but I didn't expect these people to be so thoughtful.
It really made her look down upon these people.
"I won't sleep. We usually have someone on duty to keep watch, so you can sleep without worries."
Chen Jie crossed his hands on his chest, leaned against the wall, and looked at Mao'er through the firelight.
"You saved me. You must be very tired today. Let me keep vigil for you."
Mao'er stood up and walked towards Chen Jie with a smile on his face, looking like a fox that had become a spirit.
"No need, you just left the hell gate, you'd better have a good rest. Once you've rested, you can leave."
Chen Jie said ruthless words and looked relatively calm.
Mao'er's face froze. She didn't expect Chen Jie to treat her like this, which surprised her. She silently mentally greeted Chen Jie's eighteenth generation ancestors, but her face looked pitiful and about to cry.
"I understand. I will leave as soon as daybreak. I won't cause you any trouble."
Mao'er pursed her lips tightly, looking pitiful, as if Chen Jie had done something sorry for her.
Chen Jie didn't say anything, just closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
When the cat saw this, he didn't bother to pretend. He just raised his legs and walked towards the small tatami. Looking at the tatami made of bamboo above, the cat's face was full of disgust.
How can she sleep on such a hard bamboo bed?
"There is a piece of leather here. If it's cold, you can cover it."
Chen Jie stretched out his hand and pointed to a place not far behind Mao'er, where a piece of leather was hanging.
"Thank you, Captain Chen Jie."
Mao'er forced out a smile and looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie just closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Mao'er took the leather, walked to the tatami, and lay down on it pretending to be, thinking about what to do next.
She must try her best to stay in this team.
Try to let Chen Jie and the others take her here to explore the treasures in the ancient tomb.
Otherwise her sacrifice would be too great.
I almost risked my life here for that little treasure.
When Chen Jie heard that there was no movement behind him, he opened his eyes and glanced at Mao'er's back, with a smile on his lips.
It looks like there will be another good show tomorrow.
