"Of course, looking at the situation in front of us, we can't go back today. We can't go hungry at night. We can't sleep well if we are hungry."
Chen Jie spoke generously, focusing on the fire in front of him and not thinking much at all.
"Chen Jie, why do you have to pay so much! Don't you feel aggrieved?"
Mao'er felt a little uncomfortable looking at Chen Jie's appearance at this time.
"Wronged?
Don’t be wronged! Since you are with me, I will naturally be responsible for your food, clothing, and daily life."
Chen Jie raised his head and looked at Mao'er in surprise. Seeing Mao'er looking at him with a complicated expression, Chen Jie smiled gently at Mao'er.
"Don't, don't look at me like this, I'm not used to it..." Mao'er said awkwardly. Seeing the glare Chen Jie gave him, Mao'er couldn't bear it.
I always feel that I owe Chen Jie a lot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in my lifetime.
"Haha, don't think so much. I naturally have my purpose for doing this."
Chen Jie didn't want the cat to feel too guilty, so he coaxed the cat gently.
"oh?
Purpose?
What purpose?
Marry four wives?”
Mao'er teased, knowing that Chen Jie was just teasing.
"Hahaha, four wives?
I can't afford it."
Chen Jie burst out laughing.
"how?
Do you really have this idea?"
Mao'er raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jie with doubts in his eyes.
"Four wives?
It seems you also want to be my wife."
Chen Jie caught the key point of Mao'er's words, and when he saw a flash of panic in Mao'er's eyes, Chen Jie burst into laughter.
"Stop laughing, whoever wants to be your wife is including Fan Yuan."
Mao'er said awkwardly, trying hard to ignore the smile on Chen Jie's face and looking elsewhere.
"oh?
It turns out that Fan Yuan was included. Do you think I will marry Fan Yuan?
So you have no vision?"
Chen Jie saw Mao'er's embarrassment, but was reluctant to tease Mao'er, so he could only pretend to be disappointed.
"Tch, do you think you are so discerning?"
Mao'er stared, thinking of the scene of Chen Jie and Fan Yuan together, a ball of anger arose in Mao'er's heart.
"What's wrong with me?"
Chen Jie felt that the cat was angry and felt a little surprised.
"nothing!"
After Mao'er finished speaking, he looked away and didn't want to pay attention to Chen Jie anymore.
At this moment, Mao'er didn't know that she was acting like a jealous woman.
Seeing the awkward look on the cat, Chen Jie couldn't help laughing. As long as he was with the cat, he felt very happy.
"Can you stop laughing?"
Mao'er stared at Chen Jie and felt that her cheeks were so hot that she could boil water.
"These days, laughter is no longer allowed."
Chen Jie shook his head and said helplessly.
"Just laugh if you want, who can stop you?"
Mao'er turned around and stared at Chen Jie angrily, feeling that Chen Jie was deliberately acting for him.
"Hahaha, Cat, tell me the truth, are you jealous?"
Chen Jie was amused by Mao'er's words and felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
"Jealous?
Are you kidding, would I be jealous?
Don't put gold on your face."
Mao'er said angrily, refusing to admit that he was jealous even to death.
"Okay, okay, I'm not jealous. The fire has gotten better now. I'll go out to find food. It will get dark later."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he stood up and planned to go out to look for food.
"Then you go and come back quickly. It doesn't matter whether you want to eat or not. I'm not hungry."
Mao'er wanted to talk to persuade Chen Jie to stay, but she felt that she had no right to retain Chen Jie, so she had to change her temptation to care.
"Don't worry, I will be back soon, but with such heavy rain, the chance of eating meat is slim."
Chen Jie sighed and said hello to the cat first, lest the cat would be disappointed when he came back.
"It's okay not to eat."
Mao'er followed immediately, not wanting Chen Jie to take risks for food.
"Wait, then."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave.
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's back, with uncontrollable sadness in his eyes.
The longer she spends time with Chen Jie, the more reluctant she is to let him go, and now she lives in fear every day.
She was afraid that Chen Jie would encounter some danger, and she might not be able to bear the blow.
After all, Chen Jie is like the Shu light that illuminates her life. Without the light, her life will also disappear.
"Chen Jie, you must come back safely."
Mao'er murmured to himself, thinking of Chen Jie in his mind.
…
Chen Yanyan was pacing back and forth in the tent, looking extremely anxious. It was raining and thundering outside, and she felt very dangerous.
But neither Chen Jie nor Maoer Lisa came back.
"Sister Lily, where is the captain? Should we go look for him?"
Chen Yanyan said in a panic, staring at Xiao Baihe closely, feeling uneasy.
"I don't know. It's just raining so heavily. Where can we find the captain?"
Xiao Baihe said with a sad face.
"Then we can't sit still and wait for death! Should we wait here for the captain to come back to us?"
Chen Yanyan said excitedly.
She originally thought that Xiao Baihe would say something about going out to look for Chen Jie, but seeing that Xiao Baihe had no intention of going out at all, Chen Yanyan became even more anxious.
"What if?
If we go out to find the captain, what should we do if the captain comes back?
And when we were leaving, the captain told us to wait here and not move around."
Xiao Baihe didn't understand the meaning of Chen Yanyan's words at this time, thinking that Chen Yanyan was just anxious.
"What should we do?
It’s raining so heavily outside and it’s almost dark, isn’t it very dangerous?”
Chen Yanyan continued to bewitch Xiao Baihe and wanted Xiao Baihe to go out and see the situation.
"Then you have to do what the captain says."
Xiao Baihe said straightforwardly and ignored Chen Yanyan's words.
"How about I go out to find the captain, and you wait in the tent for the captain to come back."
Seeing Xiao Baihe's unmoved look, Chen Yanyan had no choice but to offer her opinion.
"you?
It's better not to go out, your ability to protect yourself is too weak."
Xiao Baihe shook his head, not agreeing with Chen Yanyan's suggestion at all.
Chen Yanyan "..."
Seeing Xiao Baihe's serious look, Chen Yanyan felt like she was playing the piano to a cow.
"Sister Lily, do you dislike me?"
Chen Yanyan looked at Xiao Baihe speechlessly, feeling that Xiao Baihe's words were a bit hurtful.
Xiao Baihe wanted to agree immediately, but when she saw Chen Yanyan frowning and looking at her, Xiao Baihe knew that she might have said the wrong thing again.
"I'm just worried about your comfort. I have no other intention. Yanyan, it's better to stay and wait for the captain to come back."
Xiao Baihe saw Chen Yanyan staring at her and looking at him, so she had no choice but to change the topic.
"I'm just worried about the captain! Aren't you worried about the captain's safety?"
