Chapter 11: The Long Stick in the Hand of the Thin White Girl

Chapter 11: The Long Stick in the Hand of the Thin White Girl

Zhang Liu did not answer. He looked at the two girls in front of him with concern.

Someone who could single-handedly support two younger sisters after their parents succumbed to illness wouldn't be a fool.

Someone who could identify the best learning path and successfully embark on it couldn't be considered a fool either.

Possessing both qualities, Zhang Liu had tasted the world's warmth and coldness early on, enabling him to easily discern the confrontation between the two before him.

Qin Rushuang's stance was clear—she supported him in front of Anya.

She pointed directly at him.

Who should step up to match their words with deeds in this situation?

Zhang Liu dared not accept or deny this sentence casually.

His primary goal was to escape the desert island quickly and take care of his two sisters afterward.

Answering the question could offend Anya, while denying it might upset Qin Rushuang.

Understanding that offending either of them wouldn't bode well for his future, Zhang Liu had to respond.

In less than three seconds, he answered decisively, "Well, it's actually quite spacious in here, isn't it? Anya, I know you care about your sleep quality, but now I can only trouble you. That's all."

Anya, looking somewhat relieved, agreed in a low voice, understanding that Zhang Liu was giving her a way out.

Observing the sweat drops on Zhang Liu's forehead, Qin Rushuang realized that her earlier angry remarks might have caused him trouble.

Feeling guilty, she spoke in a low voice, "Zhang Liu... What are your plans now?"

"I'm going to the plane wreckage to see if I can find anything suitable right now," Zhang Liu replied, looking at Anya playing with pebbles on the ground. "Anya, can you give me some directions?"

"Good!" Anya nodded in agreement. Turning to Zhang Liu, she said, "Come down first and wait for me in the coconut forest. I'll join you shortly."

"Huh?" Zhang Liu was momentarily stunned, but, noting the seriousness in her eyes, he nodded and descended from the cave.

Now, only two girls remained in the cave, which was about twenty square meters in size.

As Anya stared at her, Qin Rushuang felt a bit nervous. She wasn't sure about the other girl's plan.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Anya spoke directly: "Qin Rushuang, put on my pants first. And give me your skirt."

"Ha?" Qin Rushuang was left speechless by the unexpected request.

She did not know why the boy and girl had requested to switch pants with her.

“Anyway, my clothes are red, and it's quite risky without underwear in this situation.” Anya pointed at Qin Rushuang’s thigh, saying, “We're all girls, so I'll be straightforward.”

“Okay.” Observing the blood on her thigh, Qin Rushuang no longer insisted.

After a nod, she stood up and unzipped her skirt.

Anya swiftly removed her red sports pants, revealing her firm buttocks and thighs.

"Is yours black?" Qin Rushuang glanced at Anya's entirely black underwear and couldn't help but sigh.

She had always imagined the other person as someone who might favor teddy bear-themed panties.

“It's just a personal preference, alright!” In response to Qin Rushuang's inquiry, Anya blushed and said, "It's not a big deal."

The two girls efficiently completed the exchange.

Qin Rushuang was now dressed in a student uniform on top and long red sports pants on the bottom.

Meanwhile, Anya sported a sportswear top and a skirt on the bottom.

Though their outfits were somewhat unconventional, they are currently the safest options.

“I'll return these black and white items to you.” Retrieving white panties and black socks from the skirt's pockets, Anya handed them to Qin Rushuang. She then stated, "I'll go find Zhang Liu first."

“Okay...” Qin Rushuang began to speak after receiving the underwear and socks but hesitated and refrained from continuing.

She truly wanted to inquire about how Anya planned to navigate her relationship with Zhang Liu on this desert island.

However, considering that Zhang Liu was waiting for Anya, she thought it might not be appropriate to probe deeply and hold back her words.

As Anya's footsteps faded away, Qin Rushuang suddenly felt anxious. She patted her cheek forcefully to regain composure.

Her menstrual cycle was currently a bit irregular, so she could still manage to complete tasks within her capabilities.

For instance, she could clean the cave beforehand, transport some coconuts for food storage, or bring foam boards to create mats.

After descending carefully from the cave's side, Qin Rushuang's first task was to find a convenient tool to clean the floor.

“Is the wreckage really that far?”

Initially, Zhang Liu intended to head directly to the wreckage, but upon hearing Anya mention that the journey would take at least one day, he hesitated.

In the absence of precise logistics and positioning, a hurried departure for an extended period could lead to numerous uncontrollable consequences.

“Yes.” Facing Zhang Liu’s inquiry, Anya nodded with seriousness.

“When did you lose your water bottle?” Considering the circumstances, Zhang Liu was prepared to make the best of the situation. Finding a plastic water bottle would be a valuable discovery.

“I lost one before going to bed last night, and I lost the other this morning,” Anya explained. “If you walk by, it should be relatively close.”

“Do you remember where you left the water bottle?” Upon hearing this response, Zhang Liu couldn't hide his contentment.

"Perhaps this way?" Lowering her head to trace the footprints in the coconut grove, Anya took the initiative to lead the way.

While Zhang Liu surveyed his surroundings, he contemplated the supplies he could gather upon his return.

Soon, his gaze became fixated on a tree trunk lying straight along the roadside.

How can I describe it? This piece of wood perfectly meets all the aesthetic criteria for boys.

About half a person tall, it featured a spherical tree node at the top, with a cluster of broken branches above it.

It was practically the perfect dream stick!

Even in such a perilous situation, Zhang Liu found himself captivated by this stick.

“Wow, this branch is incredible!”

Just as Zhang Liu pondered whether to rush over and pick it up to hold in his hand, Anya beat him to it.

Wielding the branch, she swung it effortlessly.

“The center of gravity is just right, and the feedback feels fluid and powerful." After a few vigorous swings, Anya's mouth emitted professional-sounding comments.

Zhang Liu couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

He wanted that stick, too.
