Chapter 8: Being Fed by the School Beauty for the First Time.
Anya and Qin Rushuang walked out of the coconut grove one after another.
It didn't take long for the two to encounter Zhang Liu, who was searching for them.
The three of them stared at each other, momentarily stunned.
“Classmate Anya?” Like Qin Rushuang, Zhang Liu's face lit up with joy upon seeing Anya.
He quickly inquired, “Are you here to save us?”
Upon hearing Zhang Liu's words, Anya and Qin Rushuang fell silent for a moment, both feeling a bit wary.
In fact, when they laid eyes on each other, that was the first thought that crossed their minds.
“Ah… well...” Observing the expressions of the two, Zhang Liu suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
“Anya arrived here with the help of a piece of plane wreckage.” Sensing the silence, Qin Rushuang took the initiative to provide context.
“Oh...” Zhang Liu nodded in response, suppressing the complex emotions within, and said, “Qin Rushuang, I've found a suitable cave for sleeping at night.”
"Good!" Qin Rushuang nodded approvingly, having already heard Zhang Liu's relocation plan.
Anya, standing beside them, said, “Zhang Liu, do you have anything to eat? Bring it to me.”
"Golo..."
As if echoing her words, a growl emanated from Anya's stomach.
She had floated on a piece of plane wreckage, and upon landing, all that met her eyes were the beach and the dark forest.
Naturally, Anya didn't dare venture into the forest.
Relying on the two mineral water bottles carried on the wreckage, she wandered aimlessly along the coast for a day before settling down on the beach for the night.
All the water had been consumed along the way, leaving her in a state of hunger and thirst.
Only now did she spot the coconut grove. She was about to pick a coconut to eat when she encountered Qin Rushuang, who arrived carrying coconuts.
Seeing Zhang Liu at this moment, Anya, who often spent money to have things arranged for her, felt a tinge of bossiness and condescension.
Qin Rushuang frowned slightly upon hearing Anya's tone.
“Um...” After a few seconds of hesitation, Zhang Liu pointed to the coconuts behind the rocks not far away and said, “There are only coconuts for now.”
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Okay, hurry up and open one for me.” Waving her hand, Anya followed the direction of Zhang Liu’s finger, spotted the coconuts on the ground, and sat down. She then said, “Hurry up; I’m dying of thirst.”
"Good!" Zhang Liu nodded and didn't immediately open the coconut. Instead, he said to Qin Rushuang, who was standing still, "Qin Rushuang, why don't you sit down for a while? Let's have lunch together."
“Yes.” She nodded. Qin Rushuang swallowed the words on her lips and sat next to Anya, but when her eyes fell on the other person again, she was no longer as friendly as before.
Instead, there was a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Hey… I don’t know how long it will be before someone comes to save us...” After sipping the coconut juice-filled coconut shell, Anya took a heavy sip. Then she looked at the coconut juice in the hand of the person next to her who hadn't taken a sip yet and asked, "Why don't you drink?"
“Zhang Liu, please drink first.” Ignoring Anya, Qin Rushuang got up and walked to Zhang Liu, who was holding the coconut meat, and delivered the coconut shell directly to his mouth.
"Yes?" He had never had such close contact with a girl other than his sisters. Zhang Liu subconsciously turned his head, spraying the coconut shell into Qin Rushuang's hand. The coconut juice immediately spilled onto the ground, seeping into the golden sand.
“Sorry.” Looking at Qin Rushuang’s embarrassed expression, Zhang Liu quickly apologized and said, “I’ll give you more.”
“It's okay. You should drink for yourself first. Your face is covered in sweat.” After extending her hand to wipe the sweat off Zhang Liu's forehead, Qin Rushuang didn't sit next to Anya. Instead, she picked up a stone and started picking coconut meat.
As the heiress of a large family, Anya is not a fool; she has already seen it from Qin Rushuang's actions and expressions.
This must be a deliberate attempt by the other party to please Zhang Liu.
But why?
Zhang Liu is just an ordinary man. Is there anything he needs to be pleased about in particular?
Although she felt very sad, she didn't understand either.
But Anya stopped thinking and drank the coconut milk herself.
Compared to Zhang Liu's powerful demeanor and the prodigy of cutting coconut meat, Qin Rushuang seems more gentle and delicate.
The rate of coconut meat residue on the coconut shell directly changed from 40% to 10%.
But soon, Zhang Liu asked Qin Rushuang to continue sitting in the front.
The reason is very simple.
He wasn't blind, and he had already seen the blood on the girl's thigh.
It is really inappropriate to let a girl work in her condition.
But before leaving, Qin Rushuang also wrapped up some pieces of coconut meat and fed them to Zhang Liu.
The contact between his lips and the girl's cold, soft, and slender fingertips gave a very strange, refreshing feeling.
“Why are you trying to please him so much?” After Qin Rushuang sat next to Anya, she also heard the girl next to her ask in a low voice.
Regarding this question, Qin Rushuang looked at the other party and did not answer.
Her behavior was not to please, but to express gratitude.
No one in this world is obligated to be kind to others unconditionally; at most, she and Zhang Liu only have a relationship as classmates, but Zhang Liu has already helped her a lot.
She wasn't well before, but now she's recovered a little. Qin Rushuang is willing to thank the other party again after saving her and work hard to cooperate with the other party to survive here before the rescue comes.
“…” Anya looked into Qin Rushuang’s eyes and couldn’t help but shrug her shoulders helplessly, pretending to be asking for trouble.
“Come on, let's eat together,” Zhang Liu said, bringing the lunches he had prepared one by one.
This time, he spent a lot of time opening the coconut.
The snow-white coconut meat of four coconuts is stacked directly from the mountain, with a series of small tips emerging.
Three large coconut shells are also filled with refreshing coconut milk.
As for the few snail-like shells that were originally in his pocket...
Zhang Liu had not yet realized that, due to his climbing, it had turned into a mixture of mucus and shell fragments.
He had no choice but to remove these suspicious items that might be food from his pants pockets, throw them aside, and bury them in sand.
“Thank you.” Qin Rushuang thanked Zhang Liu sincerely before reaching out to him for help with the coconut juice, but Anya grabbed a handful of coconut meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
She chewed on it a few times and swallowed it right away.
It's been a day and a night since she's eaten.
Even the coconut meat, which Zhang Liu and Qin Rushuang initially disliked, was an absolute feast for her.
“Eat slowly... Drink some coconut juice to soothe your throat.” Zhang Liu looked at Anya, who was choking on the coconut meat, and quickly gave her coconut juice and said, “There is more for dinner, so eat slowly.”
Anya didn't say any words of thanks but smoothly took the coconut water and put it in her mouth.
Qin Rushuang looked at this scene without saying a word, but she raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.
She already saw that Zhang Liu's attitude towards Anya was an absolutely flattering gesture.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she reached out and pulled Zhang Liu's sleeve and said, "Zhang Liu, can you come with me?"
"What is the matter?" Zhang Liu, who was trying to pour coconut juice into his mouth, asked in confusion.
"Well, just come here for a moment, okay?" Qin Rushuang's eyes were very sincere, and Zhang Liu nodded after looking at her for a few seconds.
So the two of them left Anya, who was still eating heavily, and walked to the far side.
“Zhang Liu, do you like Anya?” Qin Rushuang asked with a very serious expression.
“No, I don’t like her very much.” Zhang Liu calmly looked at Anya, who was looking in their direction, then said seriously, “Why are you asking me this?”
“I feel like your attitude towards her is strange.” Qin Rushuang extended her right hand, grabbed her left arm, and said, “Are you a fanatic?”
Seeing the puzzled expression on Zhang Liu's face, she couldn't help but add in a low voice, “And I feel like Anya is looking down on you...”
