Chapter 5
After gathering enough fruits for breakfast, Vanessa took a moment to scan her surroundings. Brief panic washed over her as the thought of being lost crossed her mind. However, her worries were quickly put to rest when she noticed Yanna standing not too far away.
'Luckily I didn't get lost as that girl thought, but why is she squatting with a very serious look?'
Curiosity piqued, and Vanessa cautiously approached Yanna, lightly tapping her shoulder to get her attention. Yanna, sensing Vanessa's presence without turning her head, responded with a silent gesture, pointing towards a nearby rabbit.
Vanessa's eyes widened in awe for a moment at the adorable sight. Choosing to remain silent, she admired the rabbit's cuteness while Yanna sprang into action.

As the rabbit hopped about, Yanna approached it with a gentle and cautious stride, not wanting to startle the little creature. Keeping her movements slow and deliberate, she inched closer to the rabbit, taking care not to disrupt its peaceful grazing. When she was just a couple of feet away, Yanna carefully reached out her hands and gently picked up the rabbit, holding it with both hands.
Yanna sees Vanessa approaching her feeling excited, Yanna proudly shows off the rabbit she caught
"Look! I caught it!" This is the second time Vanessa has witnessed Yanna's natural smile and excited expression.
It briefly brings a smile to Vanessa's face for about two seconds, but she quickly reverts to her cold demeanor. Nonetheless, those two seconds were enough for fans who were closely watching to scream out,
"What are you going to do with it?" Vanessa wishes she could express her desire to hold the rabbit as well,
"We're going to eat it, people said rabbit meat tastes good, " Yanna immediately respond.
She noticed that Vanessa had also shown a smile earlier when the rabbit was revealed, leading her to speculate that Vanessa might also want to eat the rabbit. Curiously, she observes Vanessa's face closely, searching for any subtle changes or indications.
Vanessa felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to Yanna's words. The idea of giving up on the rabbit didn't sit well with her.
While she understood that meat could satiate her hunger more effectively than fruits alone, a part of her couldn't bear the thought of sacrificing the adorable creature.
As she glanced around, her eyes fixated on the vast expanse of the ocean, a spark of inspiration ignited within her.
"Ms. Rivera," Vanessa said, Yanna and the audience waited for her next words
"We shouldn't always believe in what people say simply because they say it. Yes, they claim that rabbit meat tastes good, but have they ever tried eating it without any condiments? And what about the lack of a knife? A sharp stone might just end up ruining the delicate meat if we're not careful."
Pausing for a moment, Vanessa observed Yanna, noticing a slight nod of acknowledgment from her, she continued
" So I think it's better to forget about the rabbit, wouldn't it be wiser to search for fish or crab? The ocean is right before us anyway." With a calm and reasoned tone, she pointed towards the glistening waters, stealing a glance at the rabbit.
Yanna pondered Vanessa's words, analyzing her actions and the message hiding behind them. It dawned upon her that what Vanessa truly wanted to convey all along was "I like the rabbit, let's find an alternative."
Instead of directly expressing her adoration for the rabbit, Vanessa had chosen to appeal to reason and logic. Yanna couldn't help but smile, admiring Vanessa's adorable way of approaching the situation
' She's more adorable than the rabbit '
"Hmm.. what you said is right," Yanna thoughtfully said as she handed the rabbit over to Vanessa
"I've been spending so much time chasing after this little one. How about you hold onto it for a moment, while I go see if I can find a crab around here?"
Vanessa gently took the rabbit into her arms, her expression remaining calm and unchanged. At first glance, it might seem like Vanessa wasn't particularly affected by the situation.
However, Yanna noticed a slight glimmer of excitement in Vanessa's eyes, one that she chose to keep to herself. Sensing Vanessa's suppressed enthusiasm, Yanna gave her a knowing smile before heading off in search of crabs.
As Vanessa nestled the rabbit, she took a moment to compose herself, knowing that they were currently live on camera. Vanessa glanced towards the camera, fully aware of the attention they were receiving from their viewers at that moment.
Despite knowing that she remained composed and put on a thoughtful expression, making it seem as if she was deeply contemplating something while looking intently at the rabbit.
In reality, Vanessa was momentarily caught up in her excitement. Holding the adorable rabbit filled her with joy and a sense of wonder.
Meanwhile, the live broadcast continued, capturing the essence of the moment and allowing viewers to witness the unique dynamics between Yanna and Vanessa.
" Vanes, "
Vanessa thought she heard it wrong but when she heard it again, she look at Yanna just to make sure it was not her imagination since she's distracted for a while.
" Vanes, can I call you that?"
Hearing her again she nod and said
" I don't mind,"
" You can call me Yanna so we can be more comfortable since we will be together for a while,"
" Okay," Vanessa responded trying to bring her focus to the rabbit however for some reason she can't stop looking at Yanna's direction.
