There were many dead branches on the tree, and Shen Jianshu could easily knock them down with a wave of his hand. At this rate, they would have been able to gather enough firewood in no time.
However, Chen Jianshu's speed suddenly slowed down.
He looked at the people under the tree who were engrossed in picking up dead branches, and a sudden surge of emotion welled up inside him.
He suddenly felt that it would be nice if time could stand still at this moment.
He knocked the dead branches off the tree, and she picked them up from the ground. This division of labor was very much like that of a couple in the 1980s and 90s.
If only time could stop.
Shen Jianshu was momentarily dazed.
Lin Chuxia picked up the branches on the ground for a while and found that no more dead branches had fallen. She stopped and looked up at the tree. She saw that Shen Jianshu was just standing in the tree and was not knocking down any more dead branches. She assumed that he was just tired.
"Would you like to get down and rest for a while?" Lin Chuxia suggested.
"Okay." Shen Jianshu didn't say anything more and jumped down from the tree.
Lin Chuxia had brought a bottle of water with her before leaving home, and when she saw him coming over, she handed the water to him.
Shen Jianshu didn't think much of it, took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and started drinking. He drank more than half of it before realizing that Lin Chuxia had only brought this one bottle, and then looked at the water in his hand with some helplessness.
"you……"
"It's okay, I'm not thirsty." After a pause, Lin Chuxia added, "Don't worry, I haven't drunk from this bottle of water."
She took an unopened bottle, thinking that whoever was thirsty could drink it.
"Cough cough cough—" Shen Jianshu suddenly choked, and perhaps because he choked so badly, his face looked a little red.
"Are you alright?" Lin Chuxia asked.
"N-nothing..."
Shen Jianshu didn't dare look her in the eye at that moment. He had just imagined, because of her words, that she would drink the water from this bottle before giving it to him.
Shen Jianshu squeezed the bottle in her hand and sighed inwardly. It was a pity that she hadn't touched the water. If only she had actually drunk from it.
The water she drank must have been very sweet.
"I'm sorry, I drank your water." Shen Jianshu calmed down and turned to Lin Chuxia to express his apology.
He hadn't even noticed that she only had this one bottle of water with her. Now that he'd drunk it, she wouldn't have any left.
"It's okay, I'm not thirsty."
"Um."
There was silence for a moment.
Although Shen Jianshu really wanted to talk to her, the camera was right in front of them, and he was worried that he would give himself away. He also didn't know what to say to her.
But in these situations, it's clear that the man needs to take the initiative to find topics to talk about.
As a man, he couldn't let her, a girl, suffer because of this.
Prolonged silence is not good, so Chen Jianshu casually picked a topic:
"Um, you..."
However, he was immediately stopped by Lin Chuxia as soon as he opened his mouth—
"Don't move!"
Shen Jianshu: ?
Lin Chuxia looked at his shoulder and explained simply, "There's a caterpillar on you."
"Wh-what?" Shen Jianshu stammered, sounding somewhat nervous.
“It’s a caterpillar,” Lin Chuxia kindly explained for him, “It’s a caterpillar that has a lot of hair and crawls around.”
Shen Jianshu felt a chill run down his spine from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and instantly, he felt terrible!
Seeing his state, Lin Chuxia blinked and asked, "You...you're not afraid of bugs, are you?"
