quickly scoot back into the sleeping bag.
Realizing that he had startled Olivia, Ethan hastily looked away. Opening the bottle of water, he passed it to her.
When Olivia took the water, she accidentally touched Ethan’s hand.
There was still moisture on his body despite his burning temperature. She felt as if her fingers had turned wet as well.
They broke away from one another as soon as they touched.
Lowering her head, Olivia thanked him.
Their current relationship was quite odd. They looked like a married couple but also not. They could be friends or strangers, but that
wasn’t it either.
One of them feared that he might make a mistake and get told off for being disgusting and infuriating. Another had her heart in a mess and had no idea what she should do.
Still, their hearts were getting closer to each other. It felt like having a secret crush on a classmate in high school.

Ethan couldn’t find another pair of pants, so he took out a towel and wrapped it around him.
Other than the sounds of the rain outside, there was only the
occasional crackling of the fire.
Their drenched clothes began to smoke after being dried by the fire.

Olivia ate the compressed biscuits. After having her fill, she lay in the sleeping bag and went to sleep.
When she woke up again, a pleasant aroma filled the air.
It caused Olivia to drool quite a lot. Before she could make out what it was, she heard a man’s thick voice speaking. “You’re up.”
Olivia had just woken up, so her head felt heavy. “What time is it? Is it still raining?”
“It’s almost six. The rain stopped for a moment, but it started again.”
The sky outside had turned dark. There was the glow of fire in the
cave, and it was warm and bright.
While she was asleep, Ethan had done quite a lot of things.
“Something smells good. What are you making?”
“I went back to that spot from before and killed the boar. I know that
you don’t like snake meat, so I roasted the boar instead.”
Rubbing her eyes, Olivia looked at the fire. As expected, she saw the
boar all skewered up. It was seasoned with a layer of salt and spices.
The fat of the boar was oozing out, and sizzling sounds could be
heard.
Even looking at it made Olivia hungry, not to mention the aroma.
“It’ll be ready soon.” Ethan knew what she was thinking. He placed some wild fruits in her hands. The fruits were sweet and juicy.
Ethan had also cut down lots of bamboo and weaved small baskets

out of them. He had placed some washed leaves inside and then layered fruits on top of the green leaves.
Olivia was very sure that Ethan wouldn’t waste his time on these things if he were alone. He had truly thought of every detail.
She looked at the pile of cut bamboo at the side. “What are you planning to do with these?”
