Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Yang Mimi didn't press the matter. She suppressed a laugh and squatted down in front of the stove to boil water. But her shoulders were trembling slightly; she was struggling to hold it in.

Qin Chuan pretended nothing had happened and went to the stove to help add firewood.

Not long after, Keiko Kitagawa came out of her little wooden house.

Keiko Kitagawa wore a thin white T-shirt and shorts, her curvaceous figure clearly visible beneath the fabric. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a few loose strands falling across her forehead, giving her a neat and tidy appearance.

"Good morning, Brother Chuan! Has the rain stopped?"

"It's stopped."

Kitagawa Keiko walked to the cave entrance, took a deep breath, and then turned back to the campfire.

"The air is so fresh; the air after a storm is just different."

Lin Shishi was the third to come out. She was wearing a beige wool vest and black capri pants, her slender figure encased in the clothes, giving her a simple and clean look. She first washed her face by the hot spring pool, then returned to prepare breakfast for Yang Mimi.

Fan Yubing is the fourth.

When Fan Yubing emerged from the cabin, her long hair was still loose. She wore a tight-fitting sports vest and yoga shorts, her voluptuous figure accentuated by the vest's shapely curves. Her waist was cinched, and the outline of her abdominal muscles was faintly visible. Her long, straight legs appeared white and shapely beneath the yoga shorts.

Fan Yubing walked to the campfire and looked around.

"Are they all up?"

"Um."

Fan Yubing's gaze swept around the cave before settling on the direction of Qin Chuan's small wooden hut.

She looked at him for two seconds, then glanced back at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan pretended to be busy boiling water.

Fan Yubing smiled slightly, said nothing, walked to the campfire, found a spot, and sat down.

Liu Yifei, Dilina, and Liu Yan came out around the same time.

The number of women decreased from eight to seven.

Yang Mimi was serving hot water to everyone, counting heads as she did so.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Hmm? One person is missing."

Yang Mimi pretended to look around.

"Where's Mina?"

The cave was quiet for a second or two.

Keiko Kitagawa looked around and said, "Yeah, where did Mina go?"

Liu Yan and Dilina were newcomers and unfamiliar with the situation, but they still looked around.

Qin Chuan was squatting in front of the stove, fiddling with the firewood, when he heard these words, he paused for a moment.

Fan Yubing leaned against a rock, her long legs crossed and stretched out, her hands resting on her knees. Her gaze casually glanced in the direction of Qin Chuan's small wooden house, then the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"Mimi, go check on her, go to her room and call her."

Yang Mimi put down the bowl of water and ran to Mina's room.

I pushed open the curtain and saw that the room was empty. The bed was neatly made, but no one was there.

Yang Mimi turned around and ran back.

"Mina's room is empty."

Keiko Kitagawa tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Then where did she go? To the hot springs?"

Lin Shishi shook her head: "When I went to wash my face just now, there was no one at the hot spring."

Fan Yubing spoke at this moment, her tone light and airy.

"Mimi, why don't you go check on Brother Chuan's room again?"

The cave fell silent instantly.

Kitagawa Keiko's eyes lit up, and Lin Shishi's bowl stopped in mid-air.

Liu Yifei brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead and glanced at Qin Chuan out of the corner of her eye.

Liu Yan hadn't fully grasped the situation yet, but judging from everyone's reactions, she guessed what it was, and her mouth opened slightly.

Dilina leaned against the rock and raised an eyebrow.

Qin Chuan squatted in front of the stove, stirring the ashes in the fire with a wooden stick in his hand, his back stiffening for a moment.

Yang Mimi already knew, but she was a good actress and pretended to suddenly realize it.

"Oh! Right! I'll go take a look!"

Yang Mimi skipped and hopped towards Qin Chuan's room. She pushed open the curtain and peeked inside.

Then she stepped out with a big smile on her face.

"Found him. He's in Brother Chuan's room. He's sleeping soundly."

The cave exploded.

Keiko Kitagawa was the first to react, covering her mouth and laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking.

Yang Mimi returned to the campfire, put her hands on her hips, and looked Qin Chuan up and down.

Qin Chuan stuck the wooden stick into the fire, stood up, and explained, "Do you believe me if I say nothing happened? I just treated her injuries last night."

"What kind of injury were you treating? You spent all night on it?" Fan Yubing asked with a smile.

At that moment, Mina appeared at the door of the cabin.

Mina was wearing a black sports vest and denim shorts, her hair was still a little messy, and her face had a lazy look on her face as if she had just woken up.

But unlike before, Mina deliberately rolled up a small section of the hem of her sports vest, revealing a bit of her waist.

That section of the waist was clean, smooth, and flat.

Mina stood at the doorway, glanced at the people sitting around the campfire, and her gaze swept over the eight faces, each with its own thoughts.

Her face flushed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

Mina walked to the campfire, found a spot to sit down, picked up the bowl of hot water that Yang Mimi handed her, and took a sip.

"Good morning," Mina said, offering only one word.

"Mina, did you sleep well in Brother Chuan's room last night?" Fan Yubing asked, a playful look on her face.

"This..." Mina realized that she had overslept in the morning and had originally planned to sneak back to her room early.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking." Kitagawa Keiko walked to the center of the campfire, put her hands on her hips, and looked around.

"I know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than 'Oh my god, how did Mina fall for him too?' or 'Brother Chuan is amazing, he got another one in one night.'"

Yang Mimi covered her mouth and laughed.

Keiko Kitagawa continued, "Look at our situation. There are nine of us on a deserted island, and only Brother Chuan is a man. Every day he goes out hunting, carrying supplies, building houses, and protecting everyone's safety. Which of you here wasn't saved by Brother Chuan? How many men like that can you find in the world?"

Keiko Kitagawa became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm too embarrassed to say it. But what I want to tell you is, please don't be obsessed with Brother Chuan. Brother Chuan is just a legend. Many girls like him, but not every one of them has a chance."

After these words were spoken, the cave fell completely silent.

Yang Mimi laughed so hard she hid behind the stove, her shoulders twitching.

Fan Yubing moved her lips twice, then shook her head and laughed out loud.

Lin Shishi lowered her head, her ears were red, and her fingers were twisting the hem of her clothes.

The others also wore smiles.

Qin Chuan stood beside the stove, watching Kitagawa Keiko talk eloquently, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This woman is truly fiercely protective of her own. Whenever she finds herself in an awkward situation, Kitagawa Keiko is always the first to step in and help her out. And although her words are blunt, every single one of them makes sense.

Qin Chuan silently increased his favorability towards Kitagawa Keiko by one level.

Taking the opportunity, Qin Chuan changed the subject: "It rained heavily all night last night, there must have been a lot of good stuff washed up on the beach. Let's go to the beach to collect seafood later, and while we're at it, let's check on our old campsite and see how the wind has affected it."

"Great!" Yang Mimi was the first to respond, "Let's go seafood! There's bound to be a big catch on the beach after a storm!"

Keiko Kitagawa perked up: "After the last typhoon, lots of big seashells washed up on the beach. Maybe we can find even bigger ones this time."

The atmosphere instantly shifted from ambiguous gossip to serious business.

Qin Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
