Chapter 16: Something will happen if you eat randomly on a desert island.
"No! I can't eat it!" He took a step back and reached out to pick up the fruit that Anya had handed him. Zhang Liu shook his head to express his disapproval.
Then he explained in the other person's suddenly sad eyes.
"First of all, I'm not sure if this is the Jiabao fruit, but the two look very similar."
"And I remember it being written in the plant encyclopedia that the Jiabao fruit belongs to the peach family. If it belongs to the Apocynaceae family, it is probably poisonous."
"Some fruits are poisonous when they are not fully ripe; others are just picked, and the tree sap will be mixed with allergenic ingredients. We should not eat such fresh-picked fruits yet."
"There is a high probability that it fell to the ground in a fully mature state, and it is safe for insects to bite it."
"So today we are only bringing back the fruits that have been bitten by insects. I will eat some later. If I am okay tomorrow, we will eat them for breakfast, then we will pick more tomorrow and test them to see if they are ripe or not."
"Maybe by then, rescue will have arrived!"
After listening to Zhang Liu's explanation and arrangement, Anya suddenly felt ashamed.
He was very considerate, but she was still wondering if the other party had any objections to her and was not willing to accept childish ideas like feeding him.
When Anya was silent and ashamed, Zhang Liu had already taken off his clothes, and then he said to her, "Pick up the one under this tree, and I will pick it up from other places. It's already late!"
"Ok!" Anya nodded vigorously, bent down, and began to work hard to identify the defective products among the jiabao fruits on the ground.
From time to time, she would see some sticky insects next to the fruit suitable for picking, and if this had happened before, she would have been very frightened.
But now Anya was directly affected by Zhang Liu's actions.
Facing insects, she would secretly grit her teeth, then use a branch to fly them away.
"Anya, can you stop throwing bugs at me?"
Then Zhang Liu, who was naked, had bad luck, and just as he arrived with a handful of Jiabao fruit, Anya threw up to him a sticky yellow planaria.
If Zhang Liu had not reacted in time and turned to dodge, this disgusting thing would have hit him directly in the cheek.
Zhang Liu had no choice but to complain, and he hoped that Anya would stop her current behavior of catching the second insect.
He's not afraid of insects, but he hates them.
"Huh?" Anya was working hard, cleaning insects and collecting fruit. She had no idea she had accidentally hit a friendly force.
But when she turned around, she happened to see Zhang Liu's upper body completely naked.
The abdominal muscles protrude, and a little of the chest muscles are faintly visible.
After blinking, Anya hurriedly moved her eyes away, and her cheek became extremely red.
There was only one thought left in her mind.
I am no longer clean, both physically and mentally.
So Zhang Liu must bear her responsibility!
"I'm sorry, I had no choice but to be shirtless." Zhang Liu took the initiative to apologize. Of course, Zhang Liu knew why Anya turned her head. Then he said, "I'd better help you sit on the beach and rest."
"I cannot do that!" When she heard that Zhang Liu wanted to take her to the side to rest, Anya quickly bent down and grabbed a handful of fruit to show that she could work hard.
Then she noticed that there was a sticky feeling on her hand that was different from the pulp of the jiabao fruit. Anya looked closely and saw half an insect wriggling in her palm.
"Yaaaaa!" A high decibel female scream echoed in the forest, and at the same time, a handful of Jiabao fruit and an innocent caterpillar hit her cheek hard.
Anya was also so frightened that she staggered and could not stand steady, so she fell to the ground next to her.
"Be careful!" Zhang Liu took a few steps forward and hugged Anya, who almost fell. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you do that?"
"I…" Breathing heavily, Anya was no longer able to speak normal words.
Since Zhang Liu's strong and solid chest was only ten centimeters away from her cheek, even Anya doubted whether her breath would directly hit the other party's chest muscles.
She blushed; she didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Liu now.
"You better pick it up from under the tree; I'll get more." Zhang Liu looked at Anya's pale expression, smiled, and then reassured her in a low voice, "It's normal for girls to be afraid of insects. And I'm not a boy who likes insects."
Anya did not speak, but continued to bend down and pick up the fruit with a red face.
But this time, when she picked up the insects, her movements were much lighter.
The cooperation between the two was already very effective, and after Zhang Liu went back and forth three times, the black shirt on the ground that was used as a package already contained a lot of fruit.
"Well, it should be enough for us to eat tomorrow." Zhang Liu touched his chin and then said, "I hope it's not poisonous."
Hearing this, Anya, who was originally very happy that she could eat new food tomorrow, fell silent for a bit.
Only then did she realize that Zhang Liu was currently testing the poison for herself and Qin Rushuang.
"Let's go!" Looking at Anya's silent expression, Zhang Liu didn't know what she was thinking. He turned his back, bent down, and said, "I will carry you; then you have to help carry this package."
"Yes!" Anya nodded vigorously, lay on Zhang Liu's back again, and then firmly grabbed the package that the other party handed to her.
The two made their way back to the cave again.
All the way, Anya remained silent, but she was also placing her cheek directly on Zhang Liu's shoulder, breathing gently, and smelling the slightly sweaty male scent of the other person's body.
Normally, she hated the smell.
But now, Anya only feels safe after being wrapped up.
"Zhang Liu's physical strength was very good. He did not pant a bit until he reached the small rock where he and Qin Rushuang spent the night. However, this had a lot to do with the fact that Anya weighed less than 90 jin (45kg) (99 pounds).
"Are you tired?" Anya heard Zhang Liu breathing, so she asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take a rest?"
"No need; we'll be there in about half an hour on foot." Zhang Liu shook his head, and the hands that were supporting Anya's straight buttocks also used a slight force to push her entire body upward.
Then he walked towards the cave again. The sky in the west gradually became red due to the setting sun, and fiery clouds formed like threads.
Zhang Liu, who was looking at the road to prevent himself from falling, naturally did not notice the beautiful scene in this scene, but Anya, who was lying on his back, had time to observe the whole situation.
This scene completely caught her eye.
"Zhang Liu, look, the sky over there is so beautiful." Anya muttered to herself, with a hint of longing in her eyes.
"Yeah!" Zhang Liu followed Anya's eyes and glanced at the sky, nodded, and then continued on his way.
Instead of admiring the fiery clouds in the western sky, he, who was expending his energy, now wished that he could drink the cold mineral water.
"Zhang Liu, please tell me." But Anya was not prepared to end the matter so quickly. After hesitating for a moment, she pressed her chest close to Zhang Liu's back, then whispered, "Who is more beautiful, Qin Rushuang or me?"
Without saying anything, Zhang Liu turned around in surprise and looked at the girl behind him.
Under Anya's waiting eyes, he was silent for a few seconds, then asked in confusion, "Anya, did you accidentally eat something you shouldn't have just now?"
