Extra 2: Island Part 2
After starting a fire failed, Shen Zhen's hammock plan also failed. He had planned to make a hammock out of vines, but the hammock he made was not only ugly, but also very difficult to use. It was uncomfortable to sit on, let alone sleep on.
Qin Xing could only resign himself to his fate and continue to accompany Shen Zhen like a headless chicken, and then feel grateful that this was his private island. If this was an open tourist island, Shen Zhen might have already been criticized for destroying the natural vegetation.
"Let's build a hut!" Shen Zhen was full of ambition.
He also raised his arm to show Qin Xing his muscles.
Qin Xing: "....."
Why do you think you can build a hut when you can't even make a hammock.
But thinking that it would be boring not to find something to do on the island, Qin Xing nodded in agreement.
They started looking for the right trees.
Those too thick would be hard to carry——they agreed not to use any proper tools, and only had one knife per person.
They didn't even have a saw. If Shen Zhen didn't realize it was too difficult to break the tree with his bare hands, he might not even carry a knife on him.
Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen's sweaty forehead from cutting down the tree, and asked, "Let's go for a dip in the water first?"
There was a stream nearby, which was the only source of freshwater for the entire island. They washed their bodies a little downstream, and Shen Zhen also dived down for two laps. Because it was too shallow, it could not be called swimming, but more like walking.
"I think the hut may be a bit difficult to build." Shen Zhen said after looking at the trees cut down, "Let's make it into a tent instead."
They only needed to cut three trees for the tent, and it didn’t need to be too thick. Compared with the four trees needed for a hut, it took less time, was more convenient, and was easier to set up.
Shen Zhen: "Let's weave palm leaves for the roof in case of rain."
Qin Xing knew that he couldn't stop Shen Zhen no matter what, and he didn't want to stop him, so he could only nod and follow along.
Shen Zhen also taught Qin Xing how to weave, folding the palm leaves in half, and weaving the slender leaves together so that there were not too many gaps. It could provide shelter from the rain, which was very suitable for a short-term camping residence.
Qin Xing looked at the palm leaves with huge gaps that Shen Zhen had made, and resigned to his fate to dismantle and remake them.
Shen Zhen was busy building the frame of the tent.
He twisted ropes with his hands on the side, first buried the three tree trunks used for support beams deeply in the ground, then stepped on the dirt to pack it tightly, tied the tops of the three tree trunks with ropes to form a triangle, and then tied the thinner branches that would hold the woven palm fronds.
"How much did you make?"
When it was getting dark, Shen Zhen asked Qin Xing.
Qin Xing had woven palm leaves all at hand, and he said to Shen Zhen, "I didn't count."
Shen Zhen: "Then let's go back and come back tomorrow."
Qin Xing: ".....Aren't we going to sleep here tonight?"
Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing in surprise, with an incredulous expression on his face: "Why are we sleeping here now? There is no mosquito repellent incense, and no sleeping bag, so it is impossible to sleep well?"
Looking at the palm leaves beside him, Qin Xing's expression was very complicated.
So he worked desperately all afternoon, for what?
"If we can fix it tomorrow, we can sleep in it then tomorrow night." Shen Zhen thought that Qin Xing was regretful that they couldn't sleep in it right away, "We have to remember to take our sleeping bags when the time comes."
Qin Xing: ".....Okay."
Their dinner was the hapless coconut crab.
It was very big, and Shen Zhen put it next to his head to show Qin Xing: "Is it bigger than my head?"
Qin Xing was boiling water, and they were going to steam the coconut crab to eat.
"Xiao Zhen is lucky." Qin Xing smiled at Shen Zhen.
The coconut crab that came out for a walk ended up in the bellies of Qin Xing and Shen Zhen.
They hadn't eaten staple food for a day, and had also done so much physical work. A coconut crab, even if it was big, was not enough to fill the stomachs of two adult men, Shen Zhen and Qin Xing. So Qin Xing also cooked two bowls of seafood noodles and only then were they finally full.
They didn't look at their phones, just sat on the rocks and watched the stars.
Shen Zhen never thought that he would have such a sensitive artist moment, sitting by the sea and watching the stars. If someone suggested this to him before, he would definitely think that the other party watched too many movies.
But now, looking at the sky full of stars, he couldn't take his eyes off.
There was no such night sky in the city, and sometimes you could only see two or three stars if you were lucky.
The last time when Shen Zhen looked at the night sky, he thought there was a very bright star, but later he found out that it was only a light tower on a mountain in the distance.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Shen Zhen turned to Qin Xing and asked.
Qin Xing also looked at the night sky and said with a smile, "It's beautiful."
Shen Zhen's old-fashioned sweet talk was rarely spoken, but when it did come out it was rather shocking, he said: "It's not as beautiful as you."
Qin Xing was taken aback for a moment, and was shocked inside and out, his expression was very complicated.
Shen Zhen laughed after seeing Qin Xing's expression: "I read it on the Internet, saying that your lover will be very happy to hear such words."
In fact, what he read was the complete collection of romance stories from that year.
It couldn't be more old-fashioned and cheesy.
Shen Zhen asked him, "Are you happy?"
Qin Xing: ".....I'm happy."
Shen Zhen asked again: "Then do you want to say something to me?"
Qin Xing took a deep breath.
"I don't need stars." Qin Xing said to Shen Zhen with a smile, "You are my star."
Shen Zhen: ".....I probably understand a little bit how you felt just now."
The two shuddered together.
"Hahahahaha."
Shen Zhen hugged his stomach and laughed, "No, this sweet talk is not suitable for us."
Qin Xing hugged Shen Zhen into his arms, and the two kissed with a smile. This kiss was so tender that the sounds of moist kissing was even audible.
After the kiss was over, both of them blushed a little.
Shen Zhen said, "Let's go back."
Qin Xing smiled, "Why not here?"
Shen Zhen considered the feasibility, and said to Qin Xing: "It's uncomfortable to be on the rock, and it hurts. My knees became red at noon. Otherwise, you lie down and I will move."
Qin Xing: "Okay."
……
Twenty minutes later.
Shen Zhen yelled frantically: "You big pig foot! You said I can move as promised!"
Qin Xing kissed his back lustfully: "I think this position is more suitable for us, now I can move with you."
Shen Zhen was carried back to the cabin by Qin Xing in the end.
After being put on the bed, Shen Zhen remembered his grudge over Qin Xing going back on his word, and said with a serious face: "You lied to me."
Qin Xing was pouring hot water for Shen Zhen, and he said with a smile: "Just a little fun between lovers."
Shen Zhen: "So from now on, let's abstain from sex."
Qin Xing said: "As long as you are happy, I am fine with it."
When Shen Zhen was sleeping, he thought, I am such a frigid person, I will definitely make you unable to bear it.
Thinking that Qin Xing would beg him when the time came, Shen Zhen felt refreshed, and slept soundly, without dreams all night.
The next day, they continued to go to the construction site yesterday to complete the unfinished work.
Shen Zhen set up the frame, and then strung the woven palm leaves together with Qin Xing, and a small green tent appeared in the woods, which matched the environment very well.
"Very good!" Shen Zhen praised himself and Qin Xing without hesitation, "We are simply amazing!"
Qin Xing smiled. Looking at the small tent, he felt that it was the crudest tent he had ever seen in his life, bar none.
Shen Zhen: "Let's christen this little tent!"
Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen.
Shen Zhen had already forgotten what he said last night.
He excitedly held Qin Xing's hand, and the two went at it in the tent.
After coming, Shen Zhen scratched his butt, and there were two big bumps on it from mosquito bites.
One on each side, very symmetrical. The mosquitoes were very fierce, and these two big bumps swelled up quickly, but Shen Zhen was wearing swimming trunks.
Qin Xing praised, "It's very perky."
Shen Zhen: ".....You've never seen such perky buttocks, have you?"
Qin Xing suppressed a smile: "I haven't ever."
Shen Zhen pounced forward, pretending to bite Qin Xing's chest: "Be careful, or I will make you into a D cup."
So Qin Xing pressed Shen Zhen down again and had another round.
Shen Zhen lay on the ground: "I feel a pain in my kidney."
Qin Xing: "....." It was the first time he heard about kidney pain.
Shen Zhen said seriously: "I really think we need to restrain ourselves. If this continues, I will have to nourish my kidneys at a young age."
Qin Xing raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Zhen had completely forgotten what he said yesterday, and he also forgot the vow he made before going to bed last night.
Qin Xing felt that probably tomorrow, Shen Zhen would also forget about his kidney.
At night, the two hugged and chatted together, and Shen Zhen said to Qin Xing: "I think this is pretty good now, and I don't even want to go back."
Here, there were only him and Qin Xing in the whole world. Qin Xing was his whole world, and he was also Qin Xing's whole world. This made Shen Zhen feel very happy, so happy that he forgot everything about modern society.
Whenever he recalled modern society, he felt like his head was swollen and aching.
Qin Xing: "I'm afraid that won't work."
Shen Zhen whispered, "I know it won't work, I'm just saying."
Qin Xing kissed Shen Zhen's forehead: "From now on, we can come and live for a period of time every six months, okay?"
After all, they couldn't really break away from modern civilization and be two savages.
Shen Zhen's eyes lit up, but he asked worriedly, "What about the company?"
Qin Xing said with a smile: "I will help you when the time comes, and business can also be handled on the island as well. It's not that there is no internet here."
Shen Zhen: ".....You're right."
Shen Zhen said in a rare moment of emotion: "Sometimes I think this all a dream."
After waking up from the dream, there would still be nothing.
Qin Xing: "It's a dream."
Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing with a surprised expression.
Qin Xing said again: "But don't worry, after you wake up from the dream and open your eyes, I'll still be by your side."
Qin Xing whispered words of love: "Then you will find that I have already made breakfast."
"We will eat together, I will drop you off at the company, then pick you up from work, and after dinner, I will urge you to take a shower, wait for you on the bed in the bedroom, and then....."
Shen Zhen's ears turned red while Qin Xing spoke.
He took Qin Xing's hand.
Looking at Qin Xing with bright eyes, he asked, "Do you have kidney pain?"
Qin Xing: ".....No"
Had kidney pain become an adjective now?
Shen Zhen sat up, and pounced like a hungry dog rushing for food.
"Then let's do it again!"
