Chapter 4: Our First Night on a Desert Island

Chapter 4: Our First Night on a Desert Island.

As for Qin Rushuang, she has been pampered since childhood.

Even though she had intended to get up, she ended up falling down instead.

Qin Rushuang decided to take off the wet white underwear on her own initiative.

Wearing wet underwear in this situation would surely lead to various female complications.

After drying it on the hill, Qin Rushuang lay behind the hill to shield herself from the sea breeze and endure the pain.

The presence of Zhang Liu gave her a sense of dependence in her heart.

Qin Rushuang, who had just been tormented by extreme pain, couldn't think clearly.

"Um... I can tell you're not feeling well!" Zhang Liu nodded vigorously, trying hard to avert his gaze from the underwear on the floor. "Are you okay, Qin Rushuang?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable..." Qin Rushuang walked to the side, picked up her underwear, and put it in the back pocket of her skirt. Leaning against the hill, she softly gasped for breath.

The pain in her stomach made it unbearable for her to even sit down at the moment.

"I found a few pieces of foam that can be used as pillows later..." Zhang Liu looked at Qin Rushuang, sensing that something was amiss, and said, "They can be placed under our bodies to avoid direct contact with the sand."

"Yeah!" Qin Rushuang nodded slightly, walked towards Zhang Liu, and was about to pick up the foam board placed next to him as a pillow.

But as she bent down, Zhang Liu grabbed her hand directly.

Weak, boneless, thin, and soft, as if holding a piece of fine jade...

Zhang Liu, who had been single for seventeen years, felt the touch in his hand and couldn't help but be startled.

As for Qin Rushuang, whose hand was grabbed, her entire body and heart trembled violently.

Not out of fear, but out of embarrassment.

She had never experienced such close contact with a boy her age, having her hand held in such a way.

Qin Rushuang took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she said, "I can do it myself."

"Sorry!" Zhang Liu quickly let go of her hand and explained, "There are blades inside the top two foam panels. I was afraid you might accidentally get hurt..."

While Zhang Liu was explaining, he suddenly stopped speaking.

This was because Qin Rushuang stumbled and sat down abruptly.

Her once beautiful and delicate face turned pale, her lips tightly pressed together, and she used her arms to brace herself from falling.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Liu hurriedly walked over to Qin Rushuang, picked her up, and leaned her against a small rock.

Qin Rushuang tried her best to cooperate with Zhang Liu's movements, but the intense pain in her lower abdomen made it impossible for her to pay attention to Zhang Liu's question. She simply shook her head slightly to indicate that there was no major problem and continued to rest against the rock with her eyes closed.

However, her response was enough to bring some relief to Zhang Liu.

He soon noticed the bright red bloodstains left on the beach.

Injured?

Zhang Liu was momentarily stunned, but after turning around and carefully assessing Qin Rushuang's condition and position, he quickly realized that there was something significant about the area where the bloodstains were left.

After thinking for a moment, he understood the situation the girl in front of him was facing.

Having two younger sisters to take care of at home, Zhang Liu had some basic knowledge about women's menstrual cycles.

The most important thing was to stay warm, take hot water, and consume the right nutrients to maintain a stable mood.

But in this situation...

Looking around, he couldn't help but scratch his head helplessly. Where could they find anything like that here?

And as for being in a good mood, given the current circumstances, it seemed more like a fantasy.

However, Zhang Liu suddenly remembered a new menstrual product that had recently appeared.

"The sun-heated hemispherical stone pavement."

It was said that when a girl sat on it, a wave of hot air would rise from underneath and envelop her body.

There was nothing else on this beach except for numerous rocks.

But after taking a few steps towards the shore, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Such thoughts were simply impractical.

Not to mention that the stone would cool down quickly, but even moving it would be a challenge.

After contemplating for a while, Zhang Liu decided to make do with what they had.

He laid two larger pieces of foam flat behind the small rock as a makeshift bed and helped Qin Rushuang lie down.

As for the remaining foam that he had planned to keep as spare parts, Zhang Liu was willing to share.

Three trenches were dug directly on the beach and stood upright, providing a small, warm space for Qin Rushuang in her delicate state.

Although the small rocks were not hot, they still retained some warmth after being exposed to the sun all day.

Soon, Qin Rushuang felt that her body was no longer as cold as before, and there were signs of improvement in the severe abdominal pain. She let out a small sigh of relief. It felt much better than before.

Feeling the gentle coolness in the warm sea breeze behind him, Zhang Liu walked behind the rocks and sat next to Qin Rushuang, who was surrounded by foam, using the remaining sun-warmed temperature to keep warm.

"Thank you..." At that moment, Zhang Liu heard a weak voice expressing gratitude from the "small room" next to him.

"Huh? Are you awake?" Zhang Liu looked at Qin Rushuang, who was struggling to get up from the pile of foam, and quickly reached out to help.

"I didn't faint," Qin Rushuang explained, regaining some strength to speak. "The pain was unbearable, so I closed my eyes."

"My sister's condition isn't as serious as yours," Zhang Liu scratched his head, then, noticing that the girl next to him fell silent for a moment, he quickly changed the subject. "Do you think the rescue will come tomorrow?"

"I don't know..." Qin Rushuang shook her head and added, "But they have to come, right?"

They must come, right?

As she said this, she couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt in herself, but it was better than not saying anything at all. Qin Rushuang felt a sense of helplessness, realizing that she couldn't hold back the warmth that welled up in her eyes.

She took deep breaths, not wanting to cry, but the tears continued to flow silently.

"Are you crying?" Zhang Liu heard the voice coming from beside him and asked.

Qin Rushuang didn't answer, but her cries gradually grew louder, releasing the emotions she had been holding back.

"I'm so scared... What if rescue doesn't come tomorrow?" Under the moonlight, Qin Rushuang turned to look at Zhang Liu and asked, "What should we do then?"

"I don't know, but at least we can have coconuts for breakfast tomorrow," Zhang Liu suggested, feeling uncertain about how to address this problem.

After a long silence, he reluctantly made such a less-than-ideal suggestion.

However, Zhang Liu didn't hear a response. When he turned to look, he realized that Qin Rushuang had fallen asleep under the moonlight.

Are you exhausted from crying?

Feeling a sense of curiosity, Zhang Liu curled up and leaned on the foam board. Fatigued from the day's events, he quickly succumbed to sleep.

However, around midnight, Zhang Liu was abruptly awakened.

"There are wolves!" Qin Rushuang nervously whispered to Zhang Liu, leaning against the cold rock.

"Huh?" Zhang Liu frowned slightly, still in a dazed state from sleep.

He couldn't grasp why Qin Rushuang was so alarmed at this moment.

But soon, Zhang Liu's expression changed.

Just as Qin Rushuang was about to continue speaking, a sharp howl echoed from the forest behind them.

"Ow..."

"Ow..."

"Oooow..."

Their bodies froze, and in the moonlight, both Zhang Liu and Qin Rushuang could clearly see the paleness on each other's faces.
