Chapter 1046
46 Ethan crouched on the ground and began putting together the
bamboo he had cut beforehand.
While the meat was roasting, he gathered some bark and vines. After
some adjustments, he turned them into rope.
His upper body was still bare. When he crouched on the ground, he
revealed his scar-filled back. He looked very manly indeed.
Lowering his head, Ethan began to work. He explained, “I’m worried that the ground is dirty and there are bugs, so I cut some bamboo to
make a simple bed. You can sleep more comfortably at night.”
He was used to these things, so he could build the bed within 30
minutes.
He had also gathered some leaves and hay at the side. He had
already dried them by the fire, so they weren’t wet at all. Olivia
wondered where he found them in the heavy rain.
If she claimed that she didn’t feel anything, she would be lying.
“It’s just a night’s sleep. You don’t have to go through all that trouble.”
“If it’s you, it’s no trouble for me.” Ethan didn’t even turn around as he
focused on his work.
Olivia glanced at the width of the bed. By the looks of it, Ethan didn’t consider himself part of the equation.
There was a fire in the cave, but it would still get wet if he slept

without a bed for too long. The toxins in his body weren’t completely cleared yet. So, Olivia spoke up, “Um…”
Ethan turned to look at her. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are your hands hurting again?”
“No.” Olivia felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her like that. “I
wanted to say that since you’re making a bed anyway, why don’t you
make another one for yourself?
“It’s the rainy season, and it might keep raining tomorrow. We can’t
possibly travel far in such heavy rain.”
Ethan replied, “I’ll be fine. It’s too much trouble. I’m a strong man, so I can just lie down and sleep anywhere. It doesn’t matter to me.
“When you’re outside, you don’t have the luxury to think about these
things.”
Ethan was laboring away, and he didn’t look like a noble president at
all.
He was about to grab another bamboo pole when a hand gripped him.
The fire was dancing in elation behind Olivia. She was standing barefoot in front of Ethan.
“Just make it.”
“Fine.”
Ethan glanced at her carefully. “But I only have one sleeping bag. If it’s a single bed, I probably won’t be covered at night. If I take the sleeping bag apart, I can turn it into a blanket wide enough for two.

“Why don’t I make a double bed instead?”
Olivia blushed. She knew that there was something off about his
logic, but now that things had come this far, there was nothing for her
to be shy about. “Sure, whatever.”
After getting her permission, Ethan worked even harder. It was better to go simple when he was trying to survive in the wild. He managed to
make a simple double bed.
Halfway through his project, he even reminded Olivia, “Liv, the meat is
ready. You can eat it first.”
Olivia only had biscuits the whole day. She had used up a lot of energy in the morning, so she was already starving a long time ago.
Taking in the scent of the roasted boar, she opened her mouth and bit
She hissed.
“What’s the matter, Liv?” Ethan hastily threw away the bamboo pole in his hands as he dashed over to Olivia.
“It’s hot!”
Ethan lifted her chin. “Let me have a look.”
“I’m fine.”
“What if it burned you?”
Meanwhile, Olivia was sitting on the sleeping bag in his large shirt.
Her hair was spread in haphazard strands.

While she was asleep, two of the shirt buttons at her chest had come
undone, revealing her exquisite collarbones.
Ethan’s upper body was bare as he knelt in front of Olivia on one knee.
When the two realized what was going on, they had already gotten quite close to each other. They could even sense each other’s breaths.
With an awkward look on her face, Olivia said, “I-I’m fine.”
If Ethan looked down, he could easily see under her shirt.
Her posture was too alluring.
He gulped as he looked at Olivia with a fiery gaze. “Can I … kiss you?”
