Chapter 727: They Each Had Their Thoughts
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she could no longer suppress it.
Su Wan hesitated for a second and immediately put aside the half-baked river fish on the rack. She decided to ignore it for now.
She reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead and picked up a red cloud fruit.
This kind of red fruit looked so beautiful. Was it really not delicious?
Su Wan frowned slightly. She thought of Ming Ye’s words and subconsciously put the fruit to her mouth. She carefully took a bite.
Oh, it really was not that delicious.
Su Wan frowned even more. It was difficult to describe the taste of this fruit.
When it entered her mouth, there was no taste. But after two or three seconds, she actually felt a little spicy.
What a strange taste.
Su Wan took a bite and hesitated whether she should roast the fruit or not.
After all, it didn’t taste good when eaten raw. If it was roasted, it might turn rotten into magic and become better?
After all, she had picked several red cloud fruits earlier. She couldn’t waste them all!
Su Wan held this self-comforting mentality and began to use a tree branch to pierce through the red cloud fruit that she had taken a bite of. She placed it on the fire and roasted it.
After a minute or two, the red cloud fruit had been roasted until it was crispy on the outside and crisp on the inside. Steam was coming out of it, and it actually smelled a little fragrant.
Su Wan thought that it was probably almost done roasting. She put down the red cloud fruit that had been skewered and blew on it several times. Finally, she carefully tried to take a bite.
Unfortunately, the fruit was still very hot. It almost burned Su Wan’s mouth, and the movement of the branch in her hand became unstable.
Su Wan’s head was sweating from the heat. Fortunately, she was quick and didn’t let the red cloud fruit fall to the ground.
After confirming that it was almost ready to go into her mouth, Su Wan took a small bite.
It tasted unexpectedly crisp!
This time, it tasted a little like some kind of puffed food…
Well, not only did it smell delicious, but it also tasted great!
As a true foodie, Su Wan was deeply touched by her own creativity!
Sure enough, the red cloud fruits were better roasted.
Su Wan’s eyes curved, and the corners of her lips curved into a happy smile.
After she finished eating her red cloud fruits, she roasted another two or three red cloud fruits and placed them aside. Then, she continued to cook the river fish.
…
An orange sunset fell at the end of the river. The water rippled, forming a beautiful scene.
Ming Ye walked over from the river and saw Su Wan roasting the fish from afar.
Su Wan lowered her head slightly. She was so happy for some reason. Her smile was like a flower. Her black hair was blown by the wind, adding to her soul-stirring charm.
Ming Ye stood there, and unconsciously, his footsteps became much lighter.
He felt a strange fluctuation in his heart. If he could stay here with Su Wan forever, and time would not pa.s.s, then he would be in a good condition now.
As soon as this thought jumped out of his mind, Ming Ye was instantly stunned.
Putting aside the fact that they were currently on the run, even if he took ten thousand steps back, he and Su Wan did not have a close relations.h.i.+p.
At most, they were just two ordinary friends who met by chance.
Even if Su Wan had saved his life one time after another, Ming Ye knew very clearly that these two points were probably nothing to Su Wan.
Everything was just his own wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, that pair of bewitching emerald eyes suddenly darkened.
Ming Ye’s expression turned cold. He stared at Su Wan who did not notice that he had returned not far away, and his fingers silently tightened.
He held a handful of green plants in his palm. Because Ming Ye held it too tightly, light green plant juice slowly seeped out from his fingertips.
It was a shrub that Ming Ye had known before. After a little processing, it tasted very fresh and tender, slightly salty.
The shrub was dark green in color. It could be eaten alone or used as a seasoning. In this situation where there was a lack of salt, it was best used to roast fish.
At this moment, Su Wan suddenly felt that someone was staring at her from behind.
Su Wan was stunned. She suddenly turned her head and saw Ming Ye standing not far away with a burning gaze. She did not know why he had no intention of moving.
Su Wan looked down and swept her gaze over the short green gra.s.s in Ming Ye’s hand.
Su Wan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She tilted her head towards Ming Ye and asked softly, “Is that the seasoning?”
Ming Ye suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Su Wan’s voice.
He pursed his lips and quickly walked towards Su Wan. He stretched out his hand and handed the dark green shrubs to Su Wan.
“Mash them up and apply them on the grilled fish.”
Su Wan nodded. She followed Ming Ye’s instructions and tossed the grilled fish around. Soon, the river fish that was almost grilled emitted a strong fragrance.
Su Wan’s index finger moved when she smelled it. She wished she could take a bite now!
Su Wan usually did not have much grace when eating, but the person sitting next to her was Ming Ye. After all, they were not that familiar with each other, so Su Wan still had a layer of misgivings in her heart.
After roasting the river fish, Ming Ye casually took one. He skillfully shaved off the head and tail, leaving the most tender part in the middle.
Su Wan saw Ming Ye’s smooth movements and could not help but feel a little envious.
However, what Su Wan did not expect was that the grilled fish that Ming Ye had just prepared was quickly delivered to her.
Su Wan looked at the hand in front of her and could not help but be stunned.
Ming Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Su Wan. His voice was distant and his expression was calm, as if this action was nothing out of the ordinary.
“Here you go.”
Su Wan was shocked. She shook her head in embarra.s.sment and quickly rejected Ming Ye’s kindness.
“Thank you, but it’s okay. I can do it myself. Didn’t you starve for half a day?”
As Su Wan said this, she quickly took a grilled fish and began to peel off the head and tail in detail. However, her movements were not as skillful as Ming Ye’s and she stumbled.
Ming Ye’s lips opened. Seeing that Su Wan refused, he could not help but tighten his grip on the branch. His fingertips turned slightly white.
His heart was stifled, but he did not know what to do.
The river fish that he had peeled was crisp on the outside but tender on the inside. However, it looked like a joke now.
The air fell into an inexplicable awkwardness. The surrounding breeze was quiet, and the sound of birds flying across the sky could be heard.
Su Wan had no choice but to find a topic to talk about.
“By the way, I roasted some red cloud fruits just now. These fruits taste pretty good after being roasted!”
As Su Wan said that, she pointed at the fruits that were safely placed beside her.
Ming Ye did not speak for a long time. Just when Su Wan was feeling awkward, Ming Ye put down his fish and reached out to take a roasted red cloud fruit.
Su Wan immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at the cold-looking man beside her and saw that Ming Ye’s face was similar to that of Jiang Xuecheng. For some reason, Su Wan suddenly wanted to get information from him.
“Ming Ye, where are your parents from?”
Ming Ye looked at Su Wan indifferently, his voice low and cold.
“I… Don’t have parents.”
