They all have special skills

But... now it seems there is no need to continue washing.

To some extent, the cleanest part of her body now is her feet.

"Are you really okay?"

Before returning to the temporary camp, Qingshuichuan asked one last time.

"Ah."

Ying Lili met his caring eyes, her heart warmed, and she nodded seriously.

"It's okay, Chuan-jun just checked the wound on your foot again, and it's not bleeding anymore.

And I didn’t feel anything wrong with my body, so I could walk on my own.”

Since she said so, Qingshuichuan no longer insisted on his original idea.

Eriri is petite and not heavy, and he himself has plenty of energy.

But even so, carrying her back in the middle of a deserted island with poor road conditions was a considerable challenge.

He successfully returned home not exhausted, but Qingshuichuan's bath was definitely in vain, and he would sweat again.

"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me at any time."

"Ok!"

"Let's go back."

Get away from the water source.

The two of them walked back the way they came, one in front and one behind.

When we came to a road that was more difficult to walk on.

Shimizukawa, who was leading the way, stopped, and Eriri, who was following behind, took two quick steps, put her little hand into his big palm, and let him hold her tightly.

Maybe it was because the embarrassing thing just happened not long ago, and the uncomfortable feeling in my heart has not faded yet.

So on the way back, the two of them just walked forward with their heads down.

Halfway through the journey, Eriri was paying attention to her hand and Shimizu River's hand holding each other.

Just like when she asked Qing Shuichuan to call her by her name before, she mustered up her courage and suddenly spoke,

"Um! Kawa-kun...we...!"

"Ok?"

In the woods, holding a wooden stick, he cleared the way for the Shimizu River. Hearing this, he stopped and turned to look at Eriri.

"What happened to us?"

Eriri looked at his face, and for some reason the hideous memory that had just flashed before her eyes came back to her again.

Her face instantly turned red, and all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her head.

"No...nothing...nothing."

Weird...

"Are you okay?"

"no problem!"

This answer was quite powerful.

Qingshuichuan didn't suspect anything, so he continued to lead her back.

After coming out of the woods, Eriri looked at his solid and reassuring back and asked slowly,

"Kawa-kun, are you so nice to every girl?"

Ok?

Shimizukawa stopped again and looked at Eriri with a puzzled look.

"Because...normally speaking, no one would be willing to do that for someone else."

Although Eriri was feeling a little uneasy at the moment, she still looked back at him expectantly with eyes as blue as the sky.

She followed the guidance of her ignorant girlish heart and wanted to know his true thoughts.

If, at this moment, I could confirm...

Then, I...

How should I put it, Eriri's question stumped Shimizukawa.

The system's evaluation of his [morality] is only 41, which is lower than the average standard.

It is said that there is a basic sense of morality, but not much.

But Qingshuichuan felt that this evaluation seemed a little inaccurate.

He thinks he is a pretty good person, although he is passive most of the time in interpersonal relationships.

But as long as someone takes the initiative to show goodwill towards him, he will respond more or less.

So far, most of the comments from people he has come into contact with about him...

Not to say it's great, but at least it's not too bad.

After Eriri asked this question, Shimizukawa suddenly realized.

Even though I look pretty good, it seems that I am a little too good for her.

Not to mention sucking feet, it's not life-threatening.

But on top of that, there is still the unknown danger of snake venom.

Although they later realized it was just a false alarm, at that time, none of them could make the assertion that everything was absolutely fine.

At that time, his mind was filled with the thought that he didn't want Eriri's life to be in danger, and he didn't want her to leave this world like this.

And then... I just followed that thought.

Normally, he would be a gentleman towards girls, but it would be impossible for him to go to the extent of disregarding his own life and death for them.

There was already a senior student before this.

And now...Eri Sawamura, who is in the same grade as her, has apparently become the same.

Why?

Just because she's pretty?

Shimizukawa stared intently at Eriri's delicate, doll-like little face.

The silence was so intense that Eriri began to feel uneasy.

"Um... I'm sorry, I seem to have asked some questions that I shouldn't have asked..."

"will not."

Before Eriri could finish her words, Shimizukawa slowly answered the question she had asked earlier.

Seeing that Ying Lili didn't quite react, he answered again clearly.

"I'm not a saint, so not every girl deserves this from me. I only do this for the ones I care about."

Qing Shuichuan simply gave this answer based on his own thinking.

But Eriri didn't know why, but her face was filled with a charming smile, like a blooming flower.

He cares about me...

He said he cares about me!

Having clearly received this information, Eriri was overjoyed and contented!

"What are you grinning about all of a sudden?"

"Hehe...if, I mean if, in the future, Chuanjun, you encounter a life-threatening situation, then at that time, I will swoop over like I did today, no matter what I do for you, I will save you."

"There's no need to curse me like that. What I did today was voluntary. You don't have to take it to heart, let alone think of repaying me."

"I didn't say that just now out of a desire to repay a favor. Just like Chuan Jun, I decided to do that out of my own will!"

Eriri puffed out her cheeks, looking very determined.

Qingshuichuan seemed to see her persistence, so he said nothing more and started on his way again.

"Let's go back quickly. I want to find something to eat before it gets completely dark. By the way, are you really not going to eat that barnacle? It's delicious."

"Absolutely not, it looks too weird..."

…………

"It smells so good! And it's so smooth and tender!"

"Right~ I didn't lie to you."

"Are there still more of these things over on the reef?"

"Well, it's everywhere you look."

"Well, I'll go with you tomorrow and bring back some extra food."

"This thing is not easy to smash."

"It's okay, I'm full tonight and I'm full of energy!"

The law of true fragrance can be applied anytime and anywhere.

After returning, he couldn't stand Qingshuichuan's repeated persuasion.

In the end, Ying Lili gritted her teeth and made up her mind to try the barnacle that looked indescribable.

As a result, after taking the first bite, her frown immediately relaxed.

He smacked his lips subconsciously, savoring the wonderful taste that had just entered his mouth.

After that, it was out of control. She started eating on her own without Qingshuichuan's further persuasion.

On the way back, the two picked up some wood ear mushrooms along the way. After a simple rinse, they tore them into small pieces and cooked them together with the barnacles.

In fact, there are many other types of fungi in the woods.

Qingshuichuan has also seen many methods of determining whether fungi are poisonous from books or popular science videos.

For example, you can check whether the color of the fungus is bright, or you can apply the juice of a fungus that you are not sure whether it is poisonous on the skin surface and observe the follow-up... and so on.

However, now that food resources are not so scarce, Qingshuichuan does not want to take that risk.

Therefore, he only picked some black fungus that he was very sure was non-toxic and commonly used in daily life.

In addition to the above two kinds of food, he also went to the reef area where he had made some gains last time and caught some shrimps and crabs after he came back.

It's enough for dinner tonight.

Of course, the happiest moment was the third day of the disaster.

They finally got their first sip of hot water!

What used to be readily available at home or in roadside restaurants is now available in the current environment, which is quite touching!

The two of them sat by the fire, eating the gifts of nature and drinking hot water, their bodies warm.

Once raw, twice cooked.

It's time to rest tonight.

Both of them felt less awkward than they had last night.

Just like animals snuggling together in the wilderness to conserve body temperature.

The lifeboat made a resting place, and the two of them fell asleep.

Also aided by the low temperature at night, they unconsciously moved closer to each other.

Just like last night, their arms were wrapped around each other, their legs were placed on each other, and they slowly entangled with each other.

Although they treated each other with respect when awake, their bodies' instinctive reaction after falling asleep showed that they had already accepted each other.
