Chapter 25: Chase the pair about to appear on the desert island?
Qin Rushuang was right.
The fire almost goes out.
Zhang Liu thought he was thoughtful.
Before drilling wood for a fire, the dry wood is placed in a hollowed-out state.
He expected to set fire to the innermost part, then start a fire.
But in the actual operation, things changed.
The fire, painful on his palm, failed to ignite the wood.
Maybe the wood is too thick?
Or not as dry and flammable as imagined?
Or is the fire too small?
But none of this matters.
The biggest problem now is keeping the fire lit.
It must not be turned off!
Zhang Liu, anxious, found a solution.
Using nails, he cut twig-like splinters from the dry wood, placing them on the fire and lighting them.
Even if hardwood fibers carved his nails, causing pain.
Anya and Qin Rushuang chopped wood, handing it to Zhang Liu, maintaining the fire.
With their cooperation, a small fire finally appeared.
The hollow wood pile ignited.
“It shouldn't be put out casually anymore.” Zhang Liu, staring at the burning wood, sighed, sitting on the shore.
Ecstatic.

Did he succeed in setting fire to the desert island?
Zhang Liu looked at Anya and Qin Rushuang, confused and impressed.
Behind him, the two girls had indescribable expressions.
Despite the blazing sun, the fire brought warmth to their hearts.
“Should I toast the coconut first?” Anya rolled her eyes, quickly thinking of a way to use fire.
“It's up to you. I'll go outside to collect some wood now,” Zhang Liu smiled, adding, "When the tide goes out tonight, I'll go to the beach to take a look. If there are any stranded fish, the three of us can eat grilled fish."
"Grilled Fish!" Qin Rushuang couldn't help but show excitement at those words.
Despite never complaining about coconut meat like Anya, the idea of hot food tempted Qin Rushuang.
“Yeah...” Zhang Liu nodded, but his eyes suddenly fell on Qin Rushuang's chest.
The two light pink spots revealed under the transparent clothing caught his attention.
Stunned, Zhang Liu remembered that Qin Rushuang was wearing a purple bra.
Why did she remove the underwear covering this important part?
Wanting to ask, Zhang Liu hesitated, finding the topic too embarrassing.
"Zhang Liu! What are you looking at?"
Anya, running from the side with a coconut, noticed and asked with a sad face.
"Nothing... Nothing..." Frightened, Zhang Liu hurriedly left the beach, running toward the orchard to collect wood.
After Zhang Liu left, Anya and Qin Rushuang fell silent.
The sun moved, shifting the fire from sunlight to shadow, making the flames clearer and more vibrant.
Sitting on the beach, the two girls remained quiet, occasionally watching wood ignite and burn until turning into ash.
“Could it be that you are deliberately not wearing underwear?” Anya broke the silence, her eyes filled with worry.
Unlike science-loving Qin Rushuang, Anya, a liberal arts enthusiast, had read desert island survival stories, leading to her concern.
Beautiful ones, goddesses, etc., will eventually become the male protagonist's women, leading to intrigue and competition for his favor.
After seeing Qin Rushuang lower her head shyly, a troubling thought occurred to Anya: Could Qin Rushuang be preparing to do something proactive?
"No!" Qin Rushuang quickly shook her head. The reason for her prolonged silence was shyness, and she didn't know how to explain.
Now that Anya had spoken, Qin Rushuang honestly shared her thoughts. This means that sooner or later, there will be a situation where the clothes do not cover the body, so she took off the underwear directly, considering it pre-adaptation. Two people can also use the sponge pad inside to clean the lower body.
"Really.... really?" After listening to Qin Rushuang's words, Anya's expression softened, and then she saw Qin Rushuang nod seriously in response.
"This is good…"
She nodded, then opened the coconut in her hand and poured the coconut juice into the two coconut shells she had prepared nearby, one for herself and Qin Rushuang.
Anya began picking the coconut meat with a piece of metal, then cut it into small pieces and sewed them onto the freshly broken branches. She was going to have a coconut meat barbecue, roasting two at a time, just like the coconut milk, one serving per person.
“Anya, there is actually another reason why I haven’t spoken for a long time now.”
Place the coconut skewers over the fire, and use the heat to grill them. Although Qin Rushuang has no experience in grilling, she knows not to get too close; otherwise, the sticks will catch fire and the coconut meat will fall into the fire or get burned.
After that, as Anya closed her eyes in confusion, she slowly said the following words: “That's because I was worried that you liked Zhang Liu, and then Zhang Liu saw my breasts, and you were jealous.”
Anya was speechless for a moment. She followed Qin Rushuang's example and raised the coconut meat over the fire. Then she responded in a very serious tone.
“I thought about it for a long time that day, and finally I realized that I had a crush on Zhang Liu before. Maybe it was the suspension bridge effect or something like that.”
“You're right, this is impossible between me and Zhang Liu.”
"Once rescue arrives or we get out of trouble, he will still be an orphan who lost his parents and has to take care of two younger sisters. I am the heiress of a Japanese family. What can Zhang Liu tell me about the future?"
After hearing this answer, Qin Rushuang turned around and looked at Anya frankly, and Qin Rushuang was silent for a long time.
Finally, she sighed a little and whispered, "You're right."
“But that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that if we get out of trouble in the future, there will be other things between you and him…”
Just when Qin Rushuang was about to explain her true thoughts.
Suddenly, Zhang Liu's embarrassed cough came from behind them.
