Chapter 41: Don't drink too much of the beautiful girl's original juice!
Forget it; Anya could be considered a pretty girl after all. What's wrong with drinking her bath water? In modern society, you can't even drink it if you want! After rinsing his mouth several times, Zhang Liu stuffed the coconut meat into his mouth and comforted himself with the above thoughts.
Beside him, Anya was staring eagerly, neither speaking nor eating; she just kept watching. In the end, Zhang Liu was looked at so horribly that he couldn't help but ask, “Um, classmate Anya, what are you looking at?”
"What am I looking at? I just want to see if you got poisoned by my bath water!" Anya said it fiercely.
Zhang Liu was speechless, turning around, not daring to face Anya again. He finally found out that Anya had a high opinion of him ever since he started rinsing his mouth. When has this tone of voice appeared before? After a few reminders, Zhang Liu quickly remembered the last time this happened. It seemed that Anya showed mercy and gave himself a portion of the leftover sushi for lunch. Then he secretly threw away the piece of sushi she ate and took the rest home for his sister to eat, right? At that time, Anya seemed to be talking about whether he had been poisoned by her saliva.
“Classmate Anya,” from the moment she entered the cave, Qin Rushuang was sitting next to her, laughing secretly, treating this matter as an interesting fact of life. But now, after seeing Anya's reaction, she started to feel a little sad. From a certain point of view, even if you have to blame someone for this, you should blame yourself! Not Zhang Liu, the victim! What reason would there be for Anya to scold Zhang Liu like this? You've gone too far! It's really too much!
"What is the matter?" She turned around. Anya's expression was still a little annoyed, but after seeing Qin Rushuang's angry eyes, she immediately restrained herself, and her tone became softer. "What's the matter?"
“I think you should apologize to Zhang Liu!” Qin Rushuang looked at Anya seriously and said, "But before that, I'll apologize to you first. I shouldn't have stopped you from pouring the water away."
"I!" Anya opened her mouth, then turned to look at Zhang Liu and then at Qin Rushuang. Finally, she stubbornly turned her head and whispered, “I don’t accept your apology, and I won’t apologize to Zhang Liu either!”
The gentle atmosphere in the cave suddenly dropped to freezing.
His heart pounding, Zhang Liu, who was stuffing coconut meat into his mouth, suddenly felt that something was amiss.
He couldn't figure it out at all; why were these two conflicting again?
Zhang Liu cleared his throat, quickly lightening the mood with a smile, saying, "Isn't this just a beautiful misunderstanding... Anya's bathwater has a good taste..."

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, he struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, then added, "Still delicious!"
After Zhang Liu finished speaking, Qin Ruoshuang sighed helplessly and looked away.
Anya's face immediately turned red, continuing to stare at him, but she was only shy.
"Let's go, Anya. The two of us will go outside to gather resources. My colleague Qin Ruoshuang, I'll trouble you here."
Understanding what he meant, Zhang Liu looked at the cave atmosphere that had finally calmed down and quickly stood up, ready to pull Anya away.
Despite the doubt that leaving now might increase Qin Ruoshuang's displeasure, seeing Zhang Liu pulling her, Anya stood obediently and left.
As she descended into the cave, she intentionally said, "Zhang Liu, help me!"
Then she turned to look at Qin Ruoshuang.
"Oh! How about I support you from below?" With that, Zhang Liu leaped down, extending his hand in a supportive gesture, completely unaware that at this moment, inside the cave, Anya was sticking out her tongue and making funny faces at Qin Ruoshuang, who was wearing a surprised expression.
After showcasing her strength, Zhang Liu supported Anya with ease, then left.
But inside the cave, the surprised look on Qin Ruoshuang's face did not fade.
She was puzzled as to why Anya would behave in such a childish manner toward her, sticking out her tongue and making faces.
After a long time, the still perplexed Qin Ruoshuang sighed a little, then looked at the "original bathwater" basin that Anya had left.
Is it really as delicious as Zhang Liu claimed?
Before pulling a shell from the edge of the cave and tossing it away, she lowered her head and sniffed it carefully.
No other smell, just a faint scent of grass ash and smoke.
Next time, why doesn't she bring some of her bathwater and let Zhang Liu try it?
Although she realized that Zhang Liu's words about being delicious were most likely treating Anya, Qin Rushuang began to entertain this strange idea in her mind.
She vigorously shook her head to dispel the perverted thoughts from her brain, then proceeded to fetch water to the pool, which automatically filled up.
Zhang Liu and Anya took two bottles of water, and the only suitable containers available were coconut shells.
However, Qin Rushuang didn't complain too much; instead, she started to anticipate the hunting plan that Zhang Liu mentioned. If they could really obtain meat to eat, that would be a good thing.
She poured water into a coconut shell, then used her hands to wash her underwear.
Qin Rushuang had not yet realized how impractical her previous idea of using the hole as a bathtub and tank was. No wonder Zhang Liu didn't directly answer whether it was feasible.
While carefully washing her underwear, Qin Rushuang suddenly displayed a wry smile at the corner of her mouth. She began to wonder if she was a hindrance in Zhang Liu's mind...
……………………
"Colleague Anya, I am so sorry." After Zhang Liu and Anya walked a distance, one after the other, he took the initiative to apologize. "I should have apologized to you first. In that case, you and Qin Rushuang wouldn't have ended up in conflict."
Anya didn't stop to speak but hurried over, walked to Zhang Liu's side, and continued walking without saying a word.
Zhang Liu stopped talking and continued walking forward.
This afternoon, he had three collection ideas.
The first were those yellow fruits that fell to the ground. He planned to eat some to test the taste. If they were sweet, he would pick them up and take them back. If everything was fine when he ate it tomorrow, they could potentially introduce new foods.
The second step was to gather all the Jiabao fruits that could be picked. Combined with the first collection, it should be sufficient for tomorrow's food.
The last thing he planned to collect was some sturdy vines. Considering the jumping ability of the goats in the videos, Zhang Liu intended to use the vines to create a live trap so that the sheep couldn't escape if they fell into it.
"I'm not mad because you drank my bathwater!" Just when Zhang Liu was lost in thought, Anya muttered in a low voice, "I'm not the kind of person who gets upset about everything."
