Chapter 9
Is This a Fever? Liu Shi Shi Seeks Comfort!

Tang Chen picked up a twig and casually sketched a simple architectural diagram on the beach.

He had an abundance of wood here, and using wood to build a house was the perfect solution.

There were no nails on the deserted island, but with a mortise and tenon structure, he could build the desired house.

Then, he would lay tarpaulin over the top, which would not only provide protection from wind and rain, but also shade, making it an ideal survival space.

“Captain, what are you drawing?”

Just then, Liu Tian Xian appeared from the side.

Liu Tian Xian was holding several large banana leaves and meticulously cleaning them.

There were no bowls or chopsticks on the island, and they would need to use banana leaves to hold their food when they ate.

“I’m drawing the structure of a house,” Tang Chen glanced at her and pointed to the house structure on the ground. “We need to live here for a month, and we need to build a safe shelter!”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “The weather on the island is unpredictable, it might rain or blow wind any day, so we need to prepare in advance.”

“Captain is right!” Liu Tian Xian's eyes were filled with admiration. “We have no experience in surviving on a deserted island, so... we'll listen to the Captain!”

Listen to me?

Seeing Liu Tian Xian’s exquisite beauty, Tang Chen couldn't help but be moved.

It seemed like living a simple life on this deserted island wouldn’t be so bad after all.

To have a secluded life on an island with the four beauties of the Xianjian world, wasn’t this the dream of many?

“Captain, the lobster and spider conch are cooked…”

Just then, Yang Mi appeared carrying the freshly cooked lobster.

“Reporting to Captain, our grilled fish and grilled octopus are also done…”

Liu Shi Shi and Zhao Jin Mai also came over.

However, there was a hint of awkwardness on their faces: “But… they seem a bit burnt…”

Tang Chen looked up and saw that Liu Shi Shi was holding a half-burnt grouper.

The half grouper had been charred to a coal-black color.

The black appearance made the viewers in the livestream laugh out loud.

【Haha, I'm dying! Zhao Jin Mai is so cute, she burnt the fish to charcoal!】

【666, the show effect is explosive, they're definitely pampered actresses, wasting such expensive East Star Grouper…】

【To be honest, with such a large East Star Grouper, it’s normal for it to get burnt…】

【Let’s see what the Captain says, such expensive ingredients, if it's truly inedible, then it's truly a waste!】

【Haha, look at the expressions on Liu Shi Shi and Zhao Jin Mai, they're like two kids who did something wrong, so funny…】

【To be honest, if I were the Captain, I'd be furious!】

Seeing this, the livestream instantly became lively.

Everyone was frantically sending bullet comments.

Not only the viewers in front of the screen, but even Liu Tian Xian beside them was dumbfounded.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Tang Chen suddenly laughed.

“It’s fine, the heat is just right!”

Tang Chen chuckled lightly and, under the surprised gaze of everyone, walked forward and took the grilled fish from Zhao Jin Mai.

He tore off the burnt skin of the fish, revealing the tender and enticing fish flesh underneath.

The freshly cooked fish was still steaming, looking perfectly cooked.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

The actresses couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon smelling the fragrant grilled fish.

None of them expected that a burnt fish, once the outer skin was peeled, would have such tender and tempting flesh underneath.

“Captain, what’s going on?”

Zhao Jin Mai and Liu Shi Shi looked at him with puzzled expressions. “Didn’t the fish get burnt? Why is the flesh so tender?”

Tang Chen glanced at them and reminded, “This is what you don’t understand, right?”

He continued, “There’s a layer of fat on the skin of the grouper, once the fire is too strong, it's easy to burn,

However, there’s a lot of moisture inside the fish flesh, which is not easy to burn, so… even if the fish is burnt, if you peel off the skin, the flesh inside is still edible!”

“Captain, thank you!”

Hearing Tang Chen’s explanation, the guilt in Liu Shi Shi’s heart finally subsided.

She couldn’t contain her excitement and threw her arms around Tang Chen.

She murmured, “It’s good that the flesh inside isn’t burnt, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to explain it to everyone…”

Tang Chen was taken aback by this sudden embrace.

“Ahem…”

Yang Mi coughed dryly.

Liu Shi Shi was startled and straightened up, adjusting her hair awkwardly.

She had been overwhelmed by emotion just now, but now she realized there were so many people around!

Her face flushed red, and she quickly turned to help Liu Tian Xian tidy up the banana leaves!
