Lu Zhe said that several girls were getting excited.
"Yeah, we'd better think of something quick, or we'll all get claustrophobic in this hole." Lin Qianqian said.
"Mm, I keep feeling like there's more than just us few in this cave." Ning Shu said.
"Now we know how important light is for humans!" Shen Bing exclaimed.
"Lu Zhe, got any ideas?"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhe said: "Our Ekuiluo tribe firestarter is sealed in a plastic bag, so making fire shouldn't be too hard. The key is fuel. This space is still too small for a normal campfire or stove, the flames would be too big and we'd suffocate from carbon dioxide!"
Lin Qianqian said: "Well... how about making some candles?"
"Candles?" Lu Zhe was startled for a moment: "We have candles!"
"That's right, that box of questionable candles!"
"Where was it?"
"I think it was in the treehouse!"
"You guys wait here, I'll go get it!"
With that, Lu Zhe jumped back into the heavy rain and groped his way into the treehouse, where he found the sun bear crouching in the doorway.
Not going in?
Hmm, the floor of the treehouse was covered in bear fur, so it was probably sensitive to that smell.
The treehouse also contained a lot of supplies, swaying unsteadily in the wind, even worse than being on a boat.
After rummaging for a while, Lu Zhe did find the box of candles.
He wrapped it with rope a few times and brought it back to the stone hut.
"Delicate wax does not harm the skin, who can match my ultimate romance?" What kind of nonsense function is this?"
"Ignore that useless stuff, think about its original function!"
"Alright!"
Using the Ekuiluo firestarter, Ning Shu lit a scrap of cloth and soon had the candle burning.
The dark stone cave was finally illuminated with flickering candlelight!
With the return of light, hope also returned, and the girls cheered excitedly.
Just then, Shen Bing mumbled: "Marry me..."
What's she saying?
Everyone looked over at her. Shen Bing blinked open her eyes confusedly, gazing steadily at Lu Zhe.
"Weiwei, what's going on?"
"Although I hate to admit it, Ice Sis probably needs you to comfort her fragile psyche right now!"
Lu Zhe crouched down beside her. "Dear!"
Shen Bing's eyes seemed to regain a hint of responsiveness at the affectionate address.
Does only this term work, Lu Zhe wondered with great curiosity, and called out: "Wife!"
At this address, Shen Bing's expression completely changed.
She raised her head slightly, a sweet smile blossoming at the corners of her mouth. "Husband..."
"Ice Sis is talking!"
"But why so sly?"
"At a time like this, we shouldn't fuss over unimportant things!"
"Lu Zhe, call her that again!"
But no matter how many times Lu Zhe called her, Shen Bing only responded in kind, creating a rather sweet and romantic scene.
However...
It was still useless!
"At least she's improving a little, we can communicate now."
"You call this communicating?"
"It must be the light, we have to keep digging to expand the space!"
Having said that, Lu Zhe picked up his chisel and hammer and continued digging inward. The girls split into two groups again, one to look after Ice Sis, the other to clear away rubble!
This time, Lu Zhe was prepared to dig out another two centimeters of space in one go.
Halfway through, another problem occurred.
Though it wasn't a big deal, it was rather difficult to handle.
Shen Bing had wet herself.
A stream of liquid dripped down noisily, leaving the girls at a bit of a loss.
In the end it was Lu Zhe who helped clean up the embarrassing puddle on the ground.
"Thank you, husband!" Shen Bing said faintly.
"Hmm? I'm not used to this address, can we change it?"
She fell silent again.
Ning Shu sighed: "Like last time, when we called her mom and dad, what exactly happened for Ice Sis to recover afterwards?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.

Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
