After distributing the tasks, Chen Fan led Liu Feifei to a dense forest. There were many tall trees here, and they were all quite sturdy, making them very suitable for rafters and main beams.

In fact, Chen Fan had considered using bamboo as the rafters before, but after thinking about it, he felt that the load-bearing capacity of bamboo was too limited, and it was easy to bend and crack after being exposed to wind and sun. In comparison, wood was much stronger and more durable, so he chose wood without hesitation.

"Chen Fan, there are so many trees in this area, it should be enough for us to build a shelter, right?"

Liu Feifei looked at Chen Fan and then asked, "There are dozens of wooden planks in this area; that should be more than enough to build the roofs of two shelters."

"Yes, that's about enough!" Chen Fan nodded.

"Um... Chen Fan, how have you been these past few days?" Just then, Liu Feifei suddenly asked, blushing.

"Huh? I'm fine... How about you?" Chen Fan asked in return.

"I'm doing alright. Although it's definitely more comfortable with Sister Xiaotong and Xiaodao around, as they can help us with a lot of things, it also elevates our relationship."

Liu Feifei continued, blushing.

As the saying goes, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Their appearance did make things much easier for Chen Fan and himself, because they didn't have to do some small things themselves.

However, their appearance also had its drawbacks, namely that she and Chen Fan could no longer fight freely and intensely.

"Yes! You're absolutely right. It's indeed not so convenient in many ways." Chen Fan nodded very seriously.

Having a large team has its advantages; it makes the team very lively, and he doesn't have to do many small things himself.

However, there are also downsides. Many things that can be done freely with just one person become more restrained and less unrestrained with more people around.

If it were a shorter period, it would be fine; if it were a few days, neither of them would have any other thoughts.

However, if this goes on for too long, the craving in your heart will naturally start to stir uncontrollably.

"Look at Chen Fan, the environment here is so nice! There are green hills and clear waters everywhere, and lots of flowers over there. With such a beautiful environment, I think we should do something fun, right?"

Liu Feifei smiled mischievously, then said something pointedly.

Chen Fan naturally understood what Liu Feifei meant, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Liu Feifei's addiction to eating meat is getting stronger and stronger. Actually, this is a very normal thing. If a person has never eaten meat, he may not know how delicious meat is, so he will not have a strong interest or dependence on that piece of meat.

However, if you eat meat every day for a long time, you'll crave it after a while if you don't eat it, and Liu Feifei is clearly in that state of craving right now...

"Yes, you're absolutely right. Green hills and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming—it's indeed a perfect place to make some fun games." Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

"Do!??"

"Hmm! Do it?!"

"They shouldn't find out, right?"

"No, it won't be a problem. We're quite a distance from the shelter. If we keep quiet, there won't be any issues."

You hit it off immediately and made up your mind right away.

...

Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, more than an hour had gone by.

On Zhao Xiaodao's side, the work on the earthen kiln is more than halfway done; now it's just a matter of building up the furnace walls.

As for Zhang Xiaotong and Guo Yan, after carrying clay five or six times, they were already panting heavily, and their arms were red.

Zhang Xiaotong, in particular, was so tired that she could barely walk. After all, as a top-tier female celebrity, she had never done such physically demanding work before.

Guo Yan is slightly better than Zhang Xiaotong, but not by much...

"Oh dear! If I keep doing this, I'll break down from exhaustion sooner or later."

"Speaking of which, we don't know where Feifei and Chen Fan have gone. They've been gone for over an hour. I wonder if they've found the log yet..."

Zhang Xiaotong, who was standing to the side, kept rubbing her shoulders before complaining.

“Chopping logs is not easy either; it’s extremely physically demanding, so Chen Fan and Fei Fei might be a little slower,” Guo Yan said from the side.

Throughout, she felt a sense of gratitude towards Chen Fan and Liu Feifei.

After all, given the competitive relationship, the fact that they were still willing to take her and Zhao Xiaodao in is enough to show that Chen Fan and Liu Fei are two really good people.

"Hiss... I have a feeling something's not right! Do you think these two guys might be using cutting down trees as a cover to do something shameless?"

Zhao Xiaodao seemed to be deep in thought, and then he spoke his doubts without hesitation.

Even if they do some shameless things, it's completely understandable.

"Very likely!! But their relationship is perfectly legal right now, and there's nothing we can do about it~"

"Sigh!! It's so enviable. Feifei gets to eat meat every day, while we can't even get soup," Zhang Xiaotong complained from the side.

If none of the four girls could afford meat, they wouldn't feel any resentment.

The problem is that the three of them can't afford meat, while Feifei can eat meat whenever she wants, which makes her very envious, even a little jealous!

"Huh?! Didn't we just have roast whole lamb last night and meat this morning?" Guo Yan asked, puzzled.

In return, he received eye rolls from Zhang Xiaotong and Zhao Xiaodao.

She's at least twenty-four or twenty-five years old. I don't know if she really doesn't understand the key point of the problem she just described, or if Guo Yan is just pretending to be stupid.

...

More than three hours had passed.

At this moment, Chen Fan emerged from the dense forest carrying more than a dozen logs.

Liu Feifei followed behind, dragging two logs as thick as her arms!

Although these logs look quite nice, they are still very heavy because they are fresh tree trunks.

For most girls, being able to lift two is already considered quite impressive.

"Oh my god!! You two are finally back! We thought you were in some danger, and we were just about to go look for you."

Upon seeing Chen Fan and Liu Feifei, Zhang Xiaotong quickly stepped forward and spoke.

At first, they genuinely thought Chen Fan and Liu Feifei were secretly eating wild fruits that shouldn't be eaten.

However, as time went by, the three of them gradually became worried, fearing that Chen Fan and Liu Feifei might encounter danger.

Seeing them return safely now makes me feel much more at ease.
