When she was almost finished eating, Liu Yifei put down her bowl.

She glanced at the remaining ingredients on the stove, then at the pile of things covered with leaves in the corner of the yard, and frowned slightly.

"Brother Chuan, I have a question."

Qin Chuan was eating a lychee when he looked up at her and asked, "What's the problem?"

Liu Yifei pointed with her chopsticks at the ingredients on the stove: "When you came back from the underground forest yesterday, I looked at the things you brought back, and it seems like you didn't have that much?"

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Qin Chuan was secretly alarmed.

Liu Yifei's observational skills are terrifying. With the mind of a biology graduate student, nothing escapes her notice.

Yang Mimi's hand holding the bowl froze, and her expression changed. She secretly glanced at Qin Chuan, her eyes filled with nervousness.

Qin Chuan's mind raced, and he came up with his answer within three seconds.

"Oh, is that so? Last night I was worried there wouldn't be enough food for everyone, so I made another trip to the underground forest."

Qin Chuan spoke naturally, his expression revealing no flaws.

"I brought back some extra ingredients and put them in the corner of the yard."

Liu Yifei looked into Qin Chuan's eyes, her gaze lingering on his face for two or three seconds.

Yang Mimi quickly chimed in, "Oh, I see! Brother Chuan is so thoughtful. But don't go out too late in the future, it's dark in the forest, there might be danger."

Qin Chuan almost lost his composure.

Wow, Yang Mimi is pretty good at acting.

When Yang Mimi said this, her expression was sincere and her tone was concerned. If someone who didn't know the inside story heard her, they would definitely think that she was genuinely worried about Qin Chuan's safety.

After Yang Mimi finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued drinking her soup, not daring to look at Qin Chuan again.

Liu Yifei hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions. She picked up her bowl again and continued eating her noodles.

Lin Shishi ate quietly beside them, not participating in the conversation.

Fan Yubing sat on a wooden stake, one long leg crossed over the other, holding half a lychee in her hand, a faint smile on her lips.

Her gaze moved from Qin Chuan's face to Yang Mimi's face, and then back to Qin Chuan's face.

There was a sense of "I know everything" in that smile.

Qin Chuan caught Fan Yubing's expression and cursed inwardly.

This Fan Yubing is as cunning as a monkey.

However, Fan Yubing did not expose her on the spot. She simply took a bite of the lychee, chewed it slowly, and looked away.

This breakfast took about half an hour to eat.

Everyone's belly was round and full from eating.

With Yang Mimi's culinary skills and the ingredients from the underground forest, this meal was more abundant than the previous two weeks combined.

Fan Yubing put down the bowl, leaned against the door frame of the wooden house, and patted her stomach.

"I'm stuffed. If I keep eating like this, I'll ruin my figure."

"Sister Fan, you have such a great figure, it's okay if you gain a little weight," Lin Shishi said with a smile from the side.

"You don't understand, yoga teachers are very strict about their physique. But whatever, who cares about physique on a desert island? Let's eat first."

Fan Yubing stretched, her knitted vest stretched taut, revealing the outline of her chest. She did have a great figure, with curves in all the right places, yet her waist was very slender, showing strong lines honed through yoga.

Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze. After finishing his meal, it was time to get down to business.

Before Qin Chuan could remind her, Lin Shishi stood up first.

"Has everyone finished eating? Time to check in."

Lin Shishi said this very naturally, as if it were the same as announcing the time every day.

The women's reactions were also much more positive than before.

Kitagawa Keiko was the first to stand up, walk up to Qin Chuan, tiptoe, and kiss him on the corner of his mouth.

Good morning, Brother Chuan.

Decisive and straightforward, without any hesitation.

Yang Mimi was the second. When she walked up to Qin Chuan, her face was still a little red. After all, what happened in the underground forest last night was still vivid in her mind, and she felt a little embarrassed to kiss Qin Chuan in front of everyone.

But Yang Mimi still leaned over, quickly touched Qin Chuan's lips, and then turned and ran away.

"Mimi, why are you running? Nobody's chasing you," Fan Yubing shouted from behind.

Yang Mimi turned around and made a face, but didn't say anything.

Lin Shishi walked up to Qin Chuan, raised her head, and looked into his eyes.

Today she was wearing a newly knitted wool vest, her hair tied in a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. At 168 cm tall, she had a slim figure and a slender waist; standing in front of Qin Chuan, she had to tilt her head up to see his face.

Lin Shishi tiptoed and gently pressed her lips to Qin Chuan's lips.

He paused for two or three seconds before stepping back.

Qin Chuan felt that Lin Shishi's lips were a little cool, but very soft.


Fan Yubing leaned over and touched Qin Chuan's lips. The movement was neither fast nor slow, very composed.

After the kiss, Fan Yubing took a half step back, looked into Qin Chuan's eyes, and smiled. That smile was somewhat meaningful.

Qin Chuan wondered why this woman was smiling so strangely today.

When Liu Yifei walked over, she had a calm expression. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and the neckline of her sweatshirt was low, revealing a section of her fair neck and collarbone.

Liu Yifei lowered her head slightly, her lips lightly touching Qin Chuan's mouth, then straightened up, turned around, and left.

The entire process takes less than a second. Fast, accurate, and ruthless. As precise as conducting an experiment.

Finally, it's Mina.

She walked up to Qin Chuan, tilted her head slightly, and lightly touched the corner of his mouth with her lips before stepping back.

Mina didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.

After Qin Chuan and everyone else finished checking in, he silently did some mental calculations.

System notifications kept ringing in my mind: my pupil technique proficiency had reached 49/50, just 1 point away from leveling up.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, feeling both excited and anxious.

It was so close.

However, this cannot be increased by simply checking in and giving a kiss, because the cooldown period has not yet ended.

Qin Chuan had no idea what special ingredients were.

Right now, all we can do is collect the nectar, but the problem is that everyone is gathered together so early in the morning, making it difficult to get started.

What should I do?

Qin Chuan sat on the wooden stake, his mind racing.

Got it!

Qin Chuan came up with an idea. He stood up and patted his pants.

"By the way, Shishi."

Lin Shishi was clearing the dishes when she heard Qin Chuan call her, and she looked up.

"Um?"

Qin Chuan said earnestly, "I found some more yarn trees in the forest yesterday. However, these varieties are different from the ones we used before; the color is a bit reddish. I don't know if the fibers are different or if they're usable."

Lin Shishi's eyes lit up immediately: "Where? What kind?"

"The rubber plantation isn't far. Why don't you come with me and take a look? If it's useful, we can bring some back in net bags."

"Okay, Brother Chuan." Lin Shishi put down the bowl and was about to leave with Qin Chuan.

"etc."

A voice came from behind.

Qin Chuan turned around and saw Fan Yubing with her arms crossed over her chest and an enigmatic smile on her lips.
