Under the scorching sun, Xu Mengyu studied fishing methods. When the fish approached, she didn't move, which required great patience. He Kai couldn't go alone, so he stayed behind to help.

Zheng Tianming was carrying a log as he passed by, and Shen Yunxi followed behind him. She saw He Kai and Xu Mengyu talking about something, and their behavior was very ambiguous.

“The two of them seem to have a good relationship, no wonder she’s Sister Mengyu.” Shen Yunxi paused at this point.

Zheng Tianming turned his head and frowned: "Didn't you cover your mouth?"

“...”

Shen Yunxi wasn't annoyed; the more he acted this way, the more it meant he was angry.

Xu Mengyu learned how to catch fish and happily shared a big one with He Kai. The two of them sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing as they ate the grilled fish.

Relying on others is not as good as having the skills yourself.

Next, she will learn more about wilderness survival.

Zheng Tianming swung his axe and chopped down trees in a fit of rage. Because it was so hot, he tied his clothes around his waist and chopped down the thinner trees with his upper body bare. Sweat dripped down the outline of his abdominal muscles, and his waistband was half wet.

Shen Yunxi licked her lips. This figure is simply too perfect. She just wondered if the right parts were big enough.

They're both adults; she didn't believe he had no needs at all...

After dark, Xu Mengyu took her pajamas and ran to the stream to bathe. She hadn't bathed for two days, and if she didn't bathe today, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

“Brother Zheng, Sister Mengyu and Brother He are not here. I don’t know where they went to whisper to each other. It’s already dark, and I’m a little worried about them.” Shen Yunxi said as she sat down opposite Zheng Tianming, her long legs naturally crossed.

She was wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown with a long sun-protective coat draped over it, her shapely figure barely concealed. She had found out that Zheng Tianming and Xu Mengyu were not related by blood; their families were simply close.

What does this mean? It means that Zheng Tianming comes from a wealthy family. After all, Xu Mengyu's father is the vice president of Pei's Group and ranks among the top ten in the world in terms of personal wealth. Zheng Tianming's father can only be friends with him if they are from an ordinary family.

She liked Zheng Tianming more now.

A few minutes later, He Kai came out of the "bathroom": "Tianming, stop working and get some rest to conserve your energy." After saying that, he tightened his belt. He had to be careful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

Zheng Tianming squatted down and turned around to look at He Kai. He was back. But where was Xu Mengyu?

There are wolves around here!

Zheng Tianming threw away the water-soaked branch in his hand. Couldn't they just give him a break? He dared to participate in wilderness survival like this; he was practically asking for trouble.

Xu Mengyu was standing in the water wearing only shorts, holding a towel in her hand. She had brought toiletries with her and was scrubbing herself in the bath. She felt incredibly dirty.

From not far away came the crunching sound of footsteps on tree branches...

"Someone's here, don't come any closer." Xu Mengyu quickly covered her private parts with a towel, looking warily at the source of the voice.

Zheng Tianming searched for a long time, but he didn't expect her to be taking a shower here. What kind of time is this? Doesn't she have any sense of safety? "Do you think I want to see you?" He had seen all of her body before. Now she knows how to be shy.

Xu Mengyu squinted, the towel in her hand falling into the water. She was completely naked, the cool moonlight shining on her, her snow-white skin glowing faintly, her perfect figure exposed to the air, and her beautiful face.

Just standing there without doing anything, the allure is already off the charts.

Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow, silently turned around, her prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and all the muscles in her body tensed instantly. She had won.

Hearing the sound of wading through water, Zheng Tianming lowered his head and lit a cigarette, suppressing the anger in his heart, but his physical reaction did not lie.

Xu Mengyu lowered her eyes: "Zheng Tianming, you're an adult now, why are you still as cowardly as before?"

That's what you're saying...

Zheng Tianming turned around and flicked the cigarette butt into the water; he had never backed down.

Xu Mengyu's waist was held firmly by a strong hand, and Zheng Tianming's tall body bent down, landing a hot, passionate kiss on her.

Zheng Tianming's lips were hot, with a faint tobacco scent. Xu Mengyu's chest heaved violently, her eyes were hazy, and a tingling sensation spread from the tip of her tongue throughout her body.

After the kiss ended, Zheng Tianming let go of her hand. Looking at her dazed eyes and passionate expression, he gave her a disdainful look: "Xu Mengyu, you don't even deserve to be my bed partner."

Xu Mengyu rubbed her alluring red lips with her thumb: "You said it yourself, don't regret it."

Her lips curled up, her eyes crinkled, and she smiled like a little fox.

His biggest regret was believing her. She played with him until she was done, then discarded him like a rag...

On the way back, Xu Mengyu stood with her hands behind her back, humming a cheerful tune, looking like she was in a good mood. Zheng Tianming, with a sullen face, had an urge to push her into the "restroom" as they passed by.

"All you do is talk the talk..." Xu Mengyu said, patting the door gently. Sure enough, it was just as she thought.

Zheng Tianming gripped Xu Mengyu's neck tightly. No wonder she was so proactive; she had planned every step carefully to make him feel comfortable. "Don't force me."

His patience has its limits.

"I believe Brother Zheng wouldn't contradict himself, right?" Xu Mengyu turned her head and looked at his furrowed brows and displeased expression, and she wanted to laugh.

Getting back at him is like child's play.

Back in the tent, Xu Mengyu once again demonstrated her ability to fall asleep instantly; after all, she had gotten her revenge and felt great...

After returning home, Zheng Tianming put on his windbreaker. Although it was a bit hot, he needed to prepare for the rest of the night.

He Kai clutched the blanket. This guy had an amazing physique, and he even had a thermos hanging on his body.

Also, why is there such a big change...?

Zheng Tianming walked out with a frown on his face. He sat alone by the campfire, fiddling with his military knife. Next, he had to build a house and dig a cellar to prepare for winter.

God knows when they'll be able to leave.

At midnight, large swaths of dark clouds rapidly gathered, like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, galloping and neighing, quickly covering the entire sky. Tree branches shook violently, and as a golden light pierced the sky, a muffled thunderclap exploded, deafening, as if it were a roar of anger from heaven and earth.

The tent was deformed by the strong wind, and Shen Yunxi quickly crawled out of it. He Kai, with messy hair and his heels on, muttered, "When can we leave this lousy place? I can't even get a good night's sleep."

Xu Mengyu was still dazed when Zheng Tianming brought her out of the tent. She looked up and saw his handsome, angular face. She hugged his neck and said, "Tianming..."

Why is it so hot!

Zheng Tianming held Xu Mengyu in one arm; her forehead was burning hot. He told her to take a cold shower, but she could only cause trouble instead of helping.

"I... I will never forgive you in my entire life, not even kneeling..."

Zheng Tianming lowered his eyes. What a joke, would he kneel down?

The torrential rain poured down, and the ropes of the canopy tied to the tree snapped in the gale. The tent was lifted off the ground and flew away with the canopy, the wind so strong that people couldn't even open their eyes.

Zheng Tianming took off his windbreaker and draped it over Xu Mengyu's head. He Kai grabbed Shen Yunxi's arm and followed behind Zheng Tianming. They stopped in an open space.

"Hold on to the tree stump and don't move," Zheng Tianming shouted.

With limited time and manpower, this was all he could do. He Kai and Shen Yunxi could barely stand, their vision blurred, so they could only do as Zheng Tianming instructed.

In the darkness, Xu Mengyu breathed out hot air, water droplets clung to her long eyelashes, her cheeks were flushed from the fever, her black hair clung to her face, and she made soft humming sounds from her nose. Zheng Tianming held her tightly in his arms as much as possible.

"Little deer, give Mommy a glass of water." Xu Mengyu was burning up and started talking nonsense.

The rumble of thunder drowned out Xu Mengyu's words. Zheng Tianming didn't hear what she was saying. He pressed his forehead against hers; this couldn't go on, she was burning up too much.

When has the young lady ever suffered so much...?

With red eyes, Shen Yunxi hugged the wooden stake, wondering why it was Xu Mengyu instead of her.

He Kai stood in front of Shen Yunxi, suspecting that they would die here sooner or later. His tens of thousands of pigs were about to break even and make a profit at the sausage factory.

The wind gradually stopped, and the rain lessened considerably. Zheng Tianming handed Xu Mengyu to He Kai, saying, "Take good care of her." After saying that, he drew his military knife and disappeared into the darkness.

Shen Yunxi reached out to grab the windbreaker that Xu Mengyu was wearing, but He Kai stopped her.

"Stop making a scene, she has a high fever!" He Kai shouted. What kind of time is this to be making a scene?

Zheng Tianming grabbed the ropes of the shed, gripped a sturdy tree branch, and with a burst of strength, jumped up. The shed was already heavy, and with the water piling up, it became even heavier. After securing all eight corners, Zheng Tianming didn't have time to rest and quickly turned back.

On the way back, Xu Mengyu cursed him the whole way, wishing him to be "five centimeters shorter," "never find a wife in his life," and so on.

"Wow, that mouth of yours is really something, even when you're sick you're not idle." He Kai sat down and looked at Xu Mengyu, wondering how she could be so good at scolding.

Zheng Tianming: "..."

This is already considered good; before, I would call him and yell at him for half an hour without repeating myself.

Xu Mengyu muttered softly, "Little Deer, do your homework properly..."

Zheng Tianming frowned. Who was Xiaolu? In his memory, no one's child was nicknamed Xiaolu. The key was that she was so concerned about him, still thinking about him even when she was burning up like this.

One of the two tent frames had collapsed and was no longer usable. Zheng Tianming went inside and found his backpack. He had brought spare medicine with him; he had to be prepared when he went out with Han Dan.

The cabin isn't finished yet; there's only one tent. How four people will sleep there is still a question.

Xu Mengyu sat on the damp, cold wood, leaning against He Kai's back. Zheng Tianming pinched her cheeks, but she refused to cooperate no matter what he said.

"I'll die by your hand sooner or later." Zheng Tianming said, putting the medicine on his tongue and kissing her.

The warmth and familiar scent made Xu Mengyu let out a soft hum. Zheng Tianming then fed her the medicine. She even stuck out her tongue; she certainly knew how to enjoy it...

After getting up, Zheng Tianming drank half a glass of water: "..."

Shen Yunxi gritted her teeth. Xu Mengyu, that little bitch, was obviously faking it.

Zheng Tianming busied himself trying to start a fire again. After half an hour, he finally saw a flame. He stood up and wrung out the water from his clothes.

The black short-sleeved shirt clung tightly to his skin, outlining his strong lines to the extreme. Shen Yunxi wiped away her tears, her gaze falling on his legs...

Why don't you wring out the water from your pants!

Xu Mengyu dared not open her eyes; her temples throbbed with pain. She vowed never to participate in such a reality show again; she felt like she was dying.

Shen Yunxi couldn't hold on any longer. She had been frightened and soaked in the rain all night. She laid out a half-dry grass mat and fell asleep. At this moment, she didn't care that the mat was dirty. She was so tired.

Zheng Tianming cut the damaged tent and laid it on the ground. Xu Mengyu slept next to him. He only needed four hours of sleep to recover his strength.

He Kai initially clung to the tree stump, but after half an hour he couldn't hold on any longer and lay down next to Shen Yunxi. Afraid that the girl might misunderstand if she woke up, he placed a piece of wood between the two of them.

As dawn broke, Xu Mengyu opened her eyes. Her hand was stuck, and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried. What kind of quirk was this? The thermos cup was resting on the back of her hand, tucked between her thumb and forefinger.

"Huh~"

She pulled her hand away forcefully in disgust. It was filthy! Who knows if he'd done anything wrong in the army? After all, he's not young anymore.

Zheng Tianming opened his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on Xu Mengyu. He hadn't even noticed when she had penetrated him; she was as if he wasn't suffering enough...

Xu Mengyu turned to the side. She had asked before, and many of her girlfriends had this habit. Given that she was sick, it was understandable, right?

Besides, life is short. You should be more open-minded about things. It's not a big deal! So what if I touched my ex-boyfriend?

We're both adults, what's wrong with touching someone's thigh...?

Zheng Tianming curled up, his voice hoarse: "Xu Mengyu, I didn't realize you were so shameless."

"You talk as if I care about it so much." Xu Mengyu's voice was thick with emotion; she was feeling terrible, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Zheng Tianming straightened his clothes and lit a cigarette: "Yes, I don't like it, but you ate quite a lot of it."

Xu Mengyu kicked Zheng Tianming. Hadn't he ever eaten before? But she was too proud to argue back, which infuriated her.

He Kai silently turned around. What exactly is the relationship between these two? They're kissing and touching each other's crotches. He'd heard before that the entertainment industry was messy, but now he'd seen it for himself.

They ate something simple for breakfast, and then Zheng Tianming took He Kai to build the cabin, otherwise, if they encountered yesterday's weather, it would only be more troublesome.

Shen Yunxi combed her hair: "Sister Mengyu is truly amazing, she's an actress who's grossed 7 billion at the box office." Even if she had a cold, she wouldn't be this weak.

Isn't she just trying to make Zheng Tianming feel sorry for her? It's obvious to everyone.

Xu Mengyu glanced at Shen Yunxi and said, "I advise you not to waste your energy. People I don't like will never enter the Zheng family."

Shen Yunxi put down the comb: "Is that so...we'll see." She wanted to show her that, based solely on strength, she, Xu Mengyu, was nothing.

Xu Mengyu ignored Shen Yunxi. She rubbed her temples, thinking that she had vaguely mentioned Xiao Lu yesterday. She hoped Zheng Tianming would just think she had a fever and was delirious...
