After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

This is what her mother said when she was still young.

And clearly stated.

If that happens, then they will be unhappy.

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 29 A spring that is pressed to the bottom will break sooner or later

It's not just Gu Qingrou who is unhappy.

But Gu Qingrou and her mother, whom she loved to rely on the most at that time, would both be unhappy.

This made Gu Qingrou, who was only seven years old, extremely frightened.

From then on, she didn't dare get close to any boy, for fear of touching him and making her mother unhappy.

It was not until the first period came at the age of fourteen that Gu's mother began to give her new education on sex.

Even some bedtime knowledge such as "how to serve your future husband" was forced into her like a duck's nest.

It wasn't the kind of joking education that Anya's mother gave her by belly dancing in a grass skirt.

According to Gu's mother's education, Gu Qingrou needs to sacrifice her own happiness to make the man happy in some aspects.

Keeping clean before marriage and not letting any man touch your private parts is the top priority in education.

That night, Gu Qingrou felt weak all over due to gastroenteritis and had to ask Zhang Liu to help wipe her.

The "clean" belief she had always adhered to was shattered by the physical torture.

That’s why Gu Qingrou had the desperate thought the next day: “No one wants it, so I can only give it to Zhang Liu.”

Later, Zhang Liu's gentleness slowly smoothed over the situation.

But now, she was actively disobeying her mother's words.

It is not like the previous behavior of secretly registering an online name to write novels, draw comics, and read love stories that are not allowed at home.

Instead, they start violating directly with their mouths and body language!

Gu Qingrou is doing this now for two reasons.

First, in Gu Qingrou's heart, Zhang Liu has become the perfect male protagonist in those love stories who will appear whenever the woman encounters difficulties.

Since she was a child, she has been overwhelmed by the rules of her family, just like a spring that will bounce back when compressed to its limit.

In order to continue to suppress this spring, Gu's mother originally stuffed a brainwashed maid next to Gu Qingrou, and forcibly turned her into a maid and stewardess on the plane.

But now, this maid who served as a suppressor has disappeared in the plane crash.

The spring that had hit bottom had begun to rebound slowly under the last bit of pressure of "the clean body disappearing".

The second point is that Gu Qingrou, who had already begun to doubt her mother's words, wanted to confirm one thing.

So if I do this, will I really be unhappy?

At this moment, I have liquid in my mouth and keep gargling.

When she did something illegal, she only felt shy as a young girl, and the happiness that came with shyness, without any feeling of unhappiness at all.

So... maybe the mother was wrong?

This thought suddenly occurred to Gu Qingrou.

After rinsing her mouth, she used the tip of her tongue to feel the refreshed feeling on her teeth that she hadn't felt for a long time. She looked at Zhang Liu who was putting thick wood into the fire beside her.

"Well... we have to take turns sleeping tonight." Zhang Liu didn't feel the emotional changes of the girl next to him. He coughed slightly and then said, "I forgot to ask for your opinion just now..."

It's embarrassing to say that he was so busy that he forgot to ask Gu Qingrou.

I don’t know whether the other person is willing to sleep in the same place with me.

Zhang Liu's plan was for Gu Qingrou to keep watch first while he went to sleep.

Then when the other person really wants to sleep, he will wake me up to keep watch and take over.

"Well, you don't need to ask my opinion on something as serious as sleeping together."

While watching Zhang Liu build a shelter.

Gu Qingrou had no idea that she and he could take turns lying down and sleeping.

I just subconsciously decided that we would have to squeeze in together tonight.

So as soon as Zhang Liu opened his mouth, she immediately agreed.

Then Gu Qingrou also realized the order of sequence in Zhang Liu's words.

The other party seemed to be saying...

Take turns sleeping?

After she agreed directly, her face turned red instantly.

Zhang Liu was a little confused by Gu Qingrou's answer.

At the same time, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the shelter he had built.

The entrance to the shelter is about one meter wide, which is wide enough for two people to lie down without physical contact. However, it becomes narrower at the back, so the two people may need to touch their feet together.

"Zhang Liu." Putting aside other distracting thoughts in her mind, Gu Qingrou looked at the boy in front of her and said softly: "I hope you don't treat me as an ordinary girl!"

"Ah?" Zhang Liu was a little confused by Gu Qingrou's words for a moment.

What does it mean to hope that you don’t treat the other person as an ordinary girl?

Also, did the other party just agree to the two of you sleeping together?

"I hope you will treat me as a...best friend." Gu Qingrou really wanted to say the word "girlfriend", but in the end she replaced it with "best friend".

She then continued, "I have absolutely no problem with just sleeping together!"

The last sentence is what Gu Qingrou really wanted to express.

After saying this, she gasped for breath and didn't say anything else.

Zhang Liu was stunned when he heard this.

He even had some difficulty understanding what Gu Qingrou was trying to say.

After a long silence, Zhang Liu cleared his throat and said, "Well, don't say anything else. To avoid embarrassment, go to sleep first."

He decided to spend the night by the fire.

But now the two of them are obviously not talking about the same topic.

"You should go first, so as to avoid embarrassment." Gu Qingrou said decisively: "Otherwise, when you lie in from behind, you will touch my chest!"

The spring began to rebound, full of aggression at this moment.

"I still have to keep watch!" Zhang Liu's tone was quite awkward, and then he said: "Also, you must have misunderstood what I meant just now. I wanted to say that we sleep separately, but now, I won't go in. After all, there is a difference between men and women."

Seeing Gu Qingrou's suddenly gloomy expression, he continued, "I remember when I was in school, the maid sister named Gu Xixi told me in advance that you have to marry cleanly in the future and you can't have physical contact with other boys!"

"Zhang Liu, can you please not talk about this for now?" Gu Qingrou was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I want to chat with you."

Stopping the words that were about to continue to persuade him, Zhang Liu said, "Well, what's wrong?"

"If possible, I want to live out my true self, so can you help me?" Looking at the boy in front of her, Gu Qingrou mustered up the courage to speak: "Please!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Liu looked at the girl in front of him. He did not say anything to agree or refuse, but asked, "Can you tell me what happened to you?"

"Do you still remember that I suddenly wanted to ask you to be responsible for something?" Gu Qingrou sat next to the fire and said sadly, "That's because my mother told me..."

Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 30 The troubles of the rich, the despair of the poor.

The moon slowly slid from the edge of the sky to the center of the sky.

Zhang Liu had already put several pieces of wood into the fire to stabilize it.

And Gu Qingrou finally finished her last complaint.

He silently looked at the girl beside him who had been saying that her family kept forcing her but she had no way to resist, and then asked, "Student Gu Qingrou, do you mind if I express my opinion?"

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Gu Qingrou nodded immediately, and then she couldn't help yawning.

After telling this story, Gu Qingrou felt a little sleepy.

Zhang Liu sighed slightly, feeling very complicated at the moment.

Then he slowly said: "Although you have been treated like this by your family since you were a child, as if they were oppressing you, it is undeniable that the conditions your family has given you are extremely generous, even ordinary people like me cannot afford to enjoy them in this life."

As he said this, Zhang Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The joys and sorrows of people are not shared.

He could never have imagined that Gu Qingrou would actually regard things like "her mother wouldn't let her eat more vegetables and forced her to eat cod liver" as a form of oppression at home.

Zhang Liu recalled that after his mother passed away, the family had no money to buy vegetables, so he found a one-dollar coin that had fallen in a corner, and then shamelessly bought a piece of pork for one dollar.

As for vegetables, during the most difficult times, he would always steal them from the fields in the urban villages dozens of kilometers away or pick them up at the vegetable market.

Zhang Liu didn't dare to give his sisters anything he found at a grave or at a crossroads, as he thought his merits would be deducted if they ate too much of it.

It doesn’t matter whether he is a human being in his next life or not.

But as for his two younger sisters, Zhang Liu still hopes that these two unlucky ones who failed to be reborn in their previous life can be reborn into a good one in their next life.

As for face, it was totally unimportant to him as he was desperate to make his two younger sisters live comfortably.

If several neighbors had not already started to speak out their disdain, Zhang Liu wouldn't mind eating there and then packing some food to take home.

In fact, after he arrived at the aristocratic girls' school, he began to understand this a little.

Those expensive Wagyu beefs sold by the gram outside are Zhang Liu’s dream meat. He has only seen it in short videos and imagined its taste of "melting in the mouth, like lard."

But in the lunch of the girls' school, the Wagyu beef provided by the An family by tons every month is just ordinary stuff that is disliked for being too greasy.

On the contrary, some dishes that are transformed from ordinary to magical through the skills of chefs will be recognized by the daughters of these wealthy families.

For example, there is a dish where all the outer leaves of fresh vegetables are removed, leaving only a little bit of the vegetable heart and stir-fried with chicken breast.

He just thought it was delicious, but these young ladies were lamenting that the vegetables irrigated with skim milk tasted different...

"Student Gu Qingrou, I will still pretend that I didn't hear what you just said." Zhang Liu cleared his throat and said, "Go to bed first. I'm very happy that you are willing to tell me this. This shows that your body has recovered a lot. Tomorrow you will spend more time on the road, so you must maintain your energy."

Gu Qingrou blinked.

As a girl, she could tell that some of the boy's words were sincere and some were perfunctory.

It's just impossible to tell.

Thinking of Anya and her sister, whom Zhang Liu often talked about.

There is no way around the former, but the latter...

Thinking of this, Gu Qingrou's heart was made up, and she simply shouted, "Brother!"

After shouting, Gu Qingrou's little heart was still beating non-stop.

She never thought she would do such a bold thing!

Call someone brother!

Zhang Liu, who was tending to the fire with his head down, jumped up and looked around as if by reflex. Then he realized that it was Gu Qingrou who was talking to him.

"Uh? Classmate Gu Qingrou?" Zhang Liu was a little at a loss for a moment.

"From now on, I will be your sister and call you brother every day, and you have to protect me!" Gu Qingrou said as she said "brother" again.

At the same time, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was the first time in her life that she had interacted with a boy like this.

This behavior of thinking that she had grasped the opponent's lifeline also made Gu Qingrou, who was just rebounding from the bottom, a little too proud of herself.

"Stop yelling, your brother scares me!" Zhang Liu frowned. It was the first time he showed dissatisfaction towards a girl. Then he said with a straight face, "Classmate Gu Qingrou, there are limits to joking!"

Looking at Zhang Liu's angry expression, the smile on Gu Qingrou's face gradually disappeared, and her eyes also dimmed silently.

There was silence for a long time.

In the end, she just bit her lower lip and quietly went into the shelter.

There was no sound anymore.
