Looking at her almost translucent face in the dusk, Luo Jincao was speechless.
How could she know what such a power meant to him?!
It's actually not a good feeling to know everything, including many things he cares about, and to know in advance that he will lose them.
This also includes things about her, her repeated sufferings, and her disgust towards him. These things torture him almost all the time.
He followed her silently to the riverside, and saw her clumsily cutting the rabbit skin with a knife, the tip of the knife almost scratching her hand, and he felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He hurriedly knelt down and squeezed her palm.
"I'll do it!"
"Then I'll collect firewood!" Ximen Chu also knew that he was not good at this, so he didn't insist and turned around and walked into the woods.
By the time she came back with a pile of dead branches, Luo Jincao had already cleaned up the rabbit. Seeing her return, he found a branch and put the rabbit on it, and then brought it to her.
"Here, I'll light the fire!"
After being with him for so long, Ximen Chu also knew that he was not suitable for this, so he just obediently took out the fire starter and took the rabbit.
Luo Jincao sat down on the ground with some difficulty, lit firewood and started a fire. After a while, a fire was lit and the rabbit was put on the fire rack.
The firelight jumped, reflecting the faces of the two people.
Ximen Chu wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed.
She wanted to say thank you to him and apologize to him, but when she saw his face, she refused to say it or let go of her pride.
The rabbit was roasted golden brown and emitted a rich aroma. Ximen Chu, who had been so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back, instinctively made a growling sound from his stomach.
He took off the rabbit and pulled off the fattest hind legs. Luo Jincao carefully handed it to her, "Eat it. It may not taste good without salt. Hold on for two more days until we go west again.
When you get to the pastoral area, you should be able to meet herders!"
Ximen Chu stretched out his hand, and by accident, his fingers happened to pinch his hand.
The two hands touched, and suddenly a strange feeling slipped through their palms. Ximen Chu's face turned red, and he quickly took the rabbit leg into his hand and bit into it.
Without any salt or seasonings, the rabbit legs were sweeter than anything she had ever eaten.
Seeing her munching on the rabbit meat, Luo Jincao just smiled without making a sound, tore off the other leg and put it on the firewood stand next to her. He only ate the meat on the chest and back.
The portions were neither large nor delicious, but the most delicious ones were reserved for her.
