“Not bad, you’ve collected so many logs!”

Chang Yuan saw them from afar and teased them with a smile.

“Why are you still watching? Come here and help us!” Tong Wei was so tired that she could hardly stand straight. When she saw Chang Yuan, she stopped right away.

The three women sat down, waiting for Chang Yuan to come over and help them.

“Leave it to me. It must be hard for all of you. Go get some rest. I’ve made seafood soup!” Chang Yuan said with a smile.

When Qiao Yuran heard that there was seafood soup, her spirits were up. She suddenly felt she was full of energy.

She stood up and ran into the cave.

“At least you still have some conscience. You made us three women do such a tiring job. It would be too much if you didn’t cook for us!” Zhuo Qianqian teased Chang Yuan.

The three women went into the cave.

Chang Yuan stayed outside and started to build a small courtyard.

He had already made the pile foundations. All that was left was to insert the wood and reinforcement.

Chang Yuan moved quickly. By the time the sky went dark, he finished building the courtyard.

The concave fence wall from the cave. The fence circled an area about the size of a basketball court in front of the cave. The size was just enough for them to store some things.

For example, they could take out the iron pieces from the cave and left it in the yard.

They would have more space for sleeping in the cave.

“Wow, you made this?”

After the three women finished their dinner, they came out of the cave. They were shocked to find the courtyard was done.

“Of course it could only be me! You guys are so busy eating your dinner.”

Hearing Chang Yuan’s words, Qiao Yuran pouted. “That’s unfair. We worked hard the whole afternoon. Without our help, you wouldn’t have been able to build this fence wall.”

Tong Wei looked at the fence wall and frowned. “It feels like something is missing!”

“I agree. This wood fence looked dull. They didn’t look good at all!” Zhuo Qianqian agreed.

Chang Yuan frowned. He had worked so hard to build the fence. Why do they mean by looking uncomfortable? If It’s uncomfortable, you can make one for yourselves.

Come on.

However, just as he was feeling grumpy, Qiao Yuran ran out.

She ran out of the gate and disappeared. Then, she came back after a short while.

She was holding a bunch of wildflowers in her hands.

“What are you waiting for? Help me!” Qiao Yuran shouted at the three people who were puzzled.

Qiao Yuran planted the wildflowers on the fence wall. She even got a bunch of green vines to decorate the wooden wall.

After their “renovation”, the wooden wall was perfectly transformed into a garden fence.

“This is the fence I’d like to have!” Qiao Yuran looked at the fruits of her labor with a face full of joy. She was telling herself. She was simply too talented.

Chang Yuan was also surprised at the change that some flowers and plants had brought to the aesthetic of the fence, especially under the moonlight.

Sitting on a big rock in the yard, feeling the gentle sea breeze on his face and with three beautiful women by his side, Chang Yuan couldn’t feel better.

“When tomorrow morning comes, we will make some furniture. Our life will be even more perfect!” Tong Wei fantasized about the future.

She started thinking of how to decorate the rest of the courtyard.

Zhuo Qianqian was different. “If possible, I want to build a swimming pool here so that I can watch the beautiful view while I’m swimming!”

When Chang Yuan heard her, he thought that the idea was not bad.

He remembered a scene he had seen in a movie. On the top of a hundred-story building, there was an open-air swimming pool.

The edge of the pool was made of glass. When people swam to the edge of the pool, they could see the entire city clearly. He wanted to have a pool like that.

Moreover, once it was done, wouldn’t he be able to swim with the three beauties every day? That scene couldn’t be any more wonderful.

But it was a bit late now, they started to get sleepy.

But Zhuo Qianqian raised a new question.

“Can we build a toilet? We can’t just relieve ourselves in the forest all the time!”

What Zhuo Qianqian said made sense.

In the past few days, although no one talked about it, they all knew they still needed to solve the problem of where to put human waste.

“Sister Qianqian, isn’t it a little embarrassing to talk about this in front of Chang Yuan?” Tong Wei frowned slightly and whispered awkwardly.

Chang Yuan was lying on the other side, but he heard them. He knew why Zhuo Qianqian brought this up. They wanted him to be the coolie and build a toilet for them.

How would he be manipulated by a woman? No way.

“I don’t care. I’m a man. I can pee anywhere!” Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said casually.

“Ah! Then what should I do? My…is coming soon…” Qiao Yuran said with embarrassment. Her face was blushing.

Zhuo Qianqian and Tong Wei were shocked when they heard that. “Ah? Your period is coming?”

When being asked, Qiao Yuran felt more embarrassed. She stole a glance at Chang Yuan and was too shy to reply.

“I still have a napkin. You can have it!” Zhuo Qianqian took out a pink item from her clothes.

Chang Yuan happened to turn around and saw it.

Instantly, the three women were angered.

“What are you looking at? Haven’t you heard women’s period before? If you keep looking, I’ll poke your eyes!” Zhuo Qianqian threatened Chang Yuan. Then she complained, “Yuran needs some private space to clean herself. Are we asking too much for a toilet?” Tong Wei also added.

Chang Yuan frowned. He didn’t say that he wouldn’t do it for them. He just said that he did not mind to relieve himself in the forest.

He already had a plan and was going to make good use of the yard anyway.

Chang Yuan would not let his women go outside when they needed to use toilet. What if Director Zhang and his people saw them naked? That would be a big loss for him.

“Alright, alright, I got it! It’s not a big deal at all. Hurry up and sleep. There’s more work to do tomorrow!”

Chang Yuan turned away and fell asleep.

The three women looked at each other and muttered.

The weather was pretty good tonight. There was no strong sea breeze, so it was quite comfortable in the cave.

However, that was not the case for Director Zhang and his group. They had built a hut in the forest, which was less comfortable than Chang Yuan’s cave.

It was already midnight. They were sitting by the bonfire and looked at each other, listening to the sound of their growling stomachs.

Tie Zhu was starving. He looked at the sky and muttered, “The moon is high.. Why aren’t they back yet?”
