Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“The usual rules,” Maxi said. “Nobody is forcing you.”

Monica said, “Your adaptation skills are not bad. It is amazing how you can adapt to live on the island so quickly. This is different from the half-dead and on guard look you had for the past few days. You have made drastic improvements, please keep it up.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Accept the challenge since you are unable to escape. After all, you cannot be just waiting to die.”

“It is a good thing to think positively,” Maxi said.

Shen Qianshu said, “I think this group of girls are harboring evil thoughts. I have a strong feeling that they will be plotting something.”

Monica looked in that direction. The girls were not fearful of her, and every one of them looked unreasonable. It was a world in which fight determines victory or defeat.

Monica said, “Okay, I will.”

“Blame me, I should not have created trouble just now.”

Monica said, “With the persistent little tricks these few days, even if you did not create trouble, they would also pick on you.”

Shen Qianshu asked, “I thought Black Rose wanted me to be alive?”

“If you died in their hands, Black Rose would also not have blamed anyone,” Maxi said. “From the time you stepped onto this island, the selection process had begun. You need to think of ways to survive till the end.”

Shen Qianshu’s heart skipped a bit.

“In front of delicacies, I shall not think of things that are too bloody.”

Shen Qianshu returned to her room. Besides training and countermeasures to external power, the island was simply filled with firearms. Shen Qianshu placed a knife beneath her pillow, just in case, and locked the door. “I need to stay alive.”

Nobody knew where Monica and Maxi went, but they were both not present.

Shen Qianshu’s wooden house was near the seaside and when there was a sea breeze, it was quite cooling.

There was still training at night.

From eight o’clock to one, the training timings for that group of girls were very packed while Monica and Maxi’s schedule was more relaxed. She was not used to having training without them joining the night training and without Maxi’s cold jokes.

Shen Qianshu pulled up her shirt. Her wound had recovered more or less. Although it was still a little itchy, no pain could be felt, and it would not affect her training. Shen Qianshu found a book to read.

Suddenly, the smell of petrol emitted the air.

Shen Qianshu sniffed her nose, and the smell became more prominent.

“It is so dry here, where could the smell of petrol possibly come from?” Shen Qianshu muttered to herself.

Could it be that a ship was pulling to shore?

Suddenly, the wooden house was on fire. The strong sea breeze blew and tongues of fire curled up, burning the roof rapidly. Shen Qianshu was amazed. “Sh*t!”

Somebody had actually set her room on fire.

Shen Qianshu pounced over to open the door, but it seemed that someone had played a dirty trick on the door. It could not be opened. Within this delay, the fire had spread to the interior of the house. Shen Qianshu went to open the windows. They were also locked but were not completely sealed.

Inside the room, the oxygen levels decreased, and thick smoke was in the air.

Shen Qianshu went to the bathroom, took a towel, poured water on it, and covered the face with the wet towel. She carried a bench over and exerted all her strength to kick the window. A piece of wood on fire fell on her, almost hurting her. Not far away, she heard someone shouting, Shen Qianshu kicked the window multiple times. Finally, she managed to kick open the window. She rolled out, braving the smoke and flame. Her whole body rolled onto the sand. The wooden house collapsed with flames licking.

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

This is insane!

There was an abrasion on her knee. She was bleeding, though not serious. Shen Qianshu watched the burning house with her mouth agape. Yang Lihua ran over hurriedly, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her safe and sound.

“Qianshu, stand up, we got to leave the place first.”
