Su Wan was stunned when she heard this, and could hardly believe that that was what Ming Ye would say.
She had always thought that people like Mingye were cold and gloomy, but she didn't expect that he would actually care about others.
Su Wan turned her head subconsciously, but the man had already lowered his head and started to spear the fish seriously.
Beside the shallow water, the setting sun is blood-red.
Ming Ye's figure was against the light, half bright and half dark, with his sleeves fluttering slightly in the wind. He looked very similar to Jiang Xuecheng, but more lonely and desolate.
Su Wan suddenly went insane. She looked at Ming Ye's figure and suddenly remembered the time she and Jiang Xuecheng spent together on Wanwan Island.
When they were at the beach, Jiang Xuecheng went fishing alone and caught a few big lobsters.
Su Wan still remembers that Jiang Xuecheng was
That man... is he okay now
Jiang Xuecheng's god-like cold and noble face flashed through Su Wan's mind, and she couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Even though Su Wan had hardened her heart and insisted on leaving Jiang Xuecheng, she only realized when they were no longer together that Jiang Xuecheng's shadow was everywhere in her life.
Even if they never meet again in this life, it would probably be difficult to erase Jiang Xuecheng's traces in her life.
It's like that man has taken root in her flesh and blood. You think you can forget him, but those fragments of memory can pop up at any time and you can't forget him even if you want to.
It’s not that she didn’t love Jiang Xuecheng, it’s just that loving this man was too tiring. After her and Jiang Xuecheng’s child passed away, Su Wan could no longer bear the pain of being with Jiang Xuecheng.
There is a saying that goes, it is better to miss someone than to meet him/her. This is probably the situation between her and Jiang Xuecheng now.
Su Wan couldn't help but laugh at herself when she thought of this.
She let out a light breath, slowly waded through the somewhat cold shallow water, and gradually walked back to the shore.
…
Following Ming Ye's instructions, Su Wan began to collect firewood very seriously.
Not sure if it had rained here the other day, but a lot of the firewood was half wet and half dry. Su Wan had no choice but to walk a few more steps deeper into the bushes.
Finally, Su Wan found some relatively dry branches.
When Su Wan was looking for branches, he suddenly saw an unknown fruit tree with red fruits on it.
The fruit tree was not very tall, and the fruits looked a bit like apples, but they were not apples.
Su Wan's mind moved, and she suddenly wondered if this was some kind of edible fruit.
After all, she and Mingye were now in the wilderness, and they didn't have the seasonings and cooking utensils they had on Wanwan Island. The grilled fish they made might not be as delicious as the fruit.
Su Wan stared at the fruits falling from the branches. She swallowed unconsciously because she hadn't eaten for most of the day.
—This fruit looks cute but not ostentatious, so it should be non-toxic, right
Su Wan saw that several fruits had traces of being pecked by birds, but there were no bird carcasses under the fruit trees, so Su Wan tentatively concluded that they were not poisonous.
Su Wan put down the firewood he had picked up, tried hard to find a branch and started to pick up the fruits.
She was not like Jiang Xuecheng, who had such superb tree-climbing skills, so Su Wan chose to hit him with branches.
Those red fruits were already almost ripe, and under Su Wan's merciless beating, the fruits fell to the ground and rolled to Su Wan's legs.
Su Wan was overjoyed and quickly picked them all up. Several of them had been pecked by birds. The more Su Wan thought about it, the more relieved he felt.
She held the fruits and firewood, feeling that she had brought back a rich trophy, and she finally felt much happier.
…
Ming Ye heard a sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy. He turned his head instantly and a slender figure quickly came into his sight.
Ming Ye frowned, stared at Su Wan who was walking slowly towards him, and quickly walked towards him.
"What took you so long?"
Su Wan raised the red fruit in her hand with a smile. Her brows, which had been frowning all day, relaxed and she looked quite complacent.
"Look what I found? This should be edible, right?"
Ming Ye glanced at the fruit in Su Wan's hand and nodded lightly.
"This red cloud fruit is indeed edible, but the taste is a bit strange."
Su Wan said "oh" as if she suddenly understood, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard the second half of the sentence.
—It turns out that this so-called Red Cloud Fruit is not delicious. No wonder there are so many fruits on the tree but no one comes to pick them.
But thinking about having something to fill your stomach is better than having nothing to eat.
After Ming Ye finished speaking, he consciously stretched out his hand and took the pile of dry branches in Su Wan's arms.
"Let me get it."
Su Wan nodded. Her arms were sore from holding all those branches all the way, so she didn't bother to be polite with Ming Ye.
…
The two walked one after the other and sat down on a large rock that was sheltered from the wind.
Mingye found two pieces of flint that could be used to make fire from somewhere. He fiddled with them for a while, and soon the stones began to smoke, and he easily rubbed them together to create flames.
When Su Wan saw the flames rising, she felt her jaw drop.
While she was amazed at Mingye's superb survival ability in the wild, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
If Su Wan stayed alone in such a remote place, survival would be a real problem.
Then Mingye skillfully used a branch to pierce the stomachs of the river fish and carefully cleaned out the internal organs of the fish.
Then, Mingye picked up a bunch of thin branches and passed the whole fish through its throat.
Mingye performed these movements in one go, as smoothly as flowing water.
Of course Su Wan was not idle either. She rolled up her sleeves and began to add firewood to the stove.
She tilted her head and took the forked fish from Mingye's hand, and carefully placed them over the fire to roast them.
Ming Ye turned his head indifferently and glanced at Su Wan out of the corner of his eye. Perhaps because he was too close to the fire, a few beads of sweat appeared on Su Wan's fair face.
But even so, Ming Ye felt that Su Wan was indescribably beautiful.
The pair of clear eyes reflected the firelight, and the original gloomy look faded away, just like the river water that previously reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, sparkling and vivid.
Such a beautiful girl...
He thought Su Wan was spoiled, but at least Su Wan had never complained along the way and her adaptability was pretty good...
Ming Ye realized the deviation in his thoughts. He sighed in his heart and quickly turned his gaze away from Su Wan.
Ming Ye pursed his lips and spoke lightly to Su Wan.
"I'll go see if there are any plants nearby that can be used as seasoning. You grill the fish here first."
ah?!
Mingye actually knows how to recognize this kind of thing
Su Wan was stunned, but saw Ming Ye had stood up and was walking away.
Seeing that the fish had turned slightly yellow after being roasted, and the aroma of cooked food continued to float between his nostrils, Su Wan swallowed, fearing that he had burnt the fish.
Su Wan stared at the red cloud fruit she had washed. She suddenly had an idea: should she try roasting the fruit
