The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 726
Chapter 726: Su Wan’s Spoils Of War
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She could hardly believe that it was something that Ming Ye would say.
She had always thought that people like Ming Ye were cold and gloomy. She did not expect that he would actually care about people.
Su Wan subconsciously turned her head away, but that man had already lowered his head and started to seriously harpoon the fish.
Beside the shallow water beach, the setting sun was like blood.
Ming Ye’s figure was against the light. It was half-light and half-dark. His sleeves fluttered in the wind. He looked like Jiang Xuecheng, but he was even lonelier.
Su Wan suddenly became obsessed. She looked at Ming Ye’s figure and suddenly thought of the time she spent with Jiang Xuecheng on Wan Wan Island.
When they were at the beach, Jiang Xuecheng went down alone to catch fish. They even caught a few big lobsters.
Su Wan still remembered that Jiang Xuecheng was pinched by the sea crayfish-
That man… how was he now?
When the god-like cold and noble face of Jiang Xuecheng flashed across her mind, Su Wan’s expression couldn’t help but become a little absent-minded.
Even if Su Wan had made up her mind to leave Jiang Xuecheng back then, she only realized that the shadow of Jiang Xuecheng was everywhere in her life when they were no longer together.
Even if they never saw each other again in this life, it would still be difficult to erase the traces of Jiang Xuecheng in her life.
Just like how that man had already taken root in her flesh and blood. She thought you could forget him, but those memory fragments could jump out at any time, and she couldn’t forget him even if she wanted to.
It wasn’t that she didn’t love Jiang Xuecheng, but it was just too tiring to love him. After her child with Jiang Xuecheng passed away, Su Wan could no longer bear the pain of being together with Jiang Xuecheng.
There was a saying that it was better to miss each other than to meet each other. This was probably the situation between her and Jiang Xuecheng now.
When Su Wan thought of this, she could not help but laugh at herself.
She exhaled lightly and slowly waded across the slightly cold shallow water before gradually walking back to the shore.
…
Following Ming Ye’s instructions, Su Wan began to pick up firewood very seriously.
She didn’t know if it had rained here two days ago, but most of the firewood was half wet and half dry. Su Wan had no choice but to take a few more steps into the depths of the bushes.
Finally, Su Wan found some relatively dry branches.
When Su Wan was looking for branches, she suddenly saw an unknown fruit tree with red fruits attached to it.
The fruit tree was not very tall, and the fruit it produced looked like an apple, but it was not an apple.
Su Wan suddenly thought of something and wondered if it was some kind of edible fruit.
After all, she and Ming Ye were in the wilderness, and they did not have the equipment and seasoning as they did on Wan Wan Island. The grilled fish they produced might not be as delicious as the fruit.
Su Wan stared at the fruit that fell from the branches. Since she had not eaten for a long time, she could not help but gulp.
The fruit that looked pleasing, but was not pompous, should not be poisonous, right?
Su Wan saw that some of the fruits had traces of being pecked by birds, but there were no bird carcasses under the fruit tree, so Su Wan decided that it was not poisonous.
Su Wan put down the firewood she had picked up and tried to find a branch to pat the fruit.
She was not like Jiang Xuecheng, who had such superb climbing skills, so Su Wan chose to pat the fruit with a branch.
The red fruits were almost ripe. Under Su Wan’s merciless beating, the fruits fell and rolled to Su Wan’s legs.
Su Wan was overjoyed and quickly picked them up. Several of them had been pecked by birds. The more Su Wan thought about it, the more relieved she felt.
She hugged the fruits and firewood and felt that she had brought a pile of rich spoils of war. She was finally a lot happier.
…
Ming Ye heard a series of moderate footsteps. He instantly turned his head and saw a slender figure in front of him.
Ming Ye frowned. He stared at Su Wan who was slowly walking over and quickly walked up to her.
“Why have you been gone for so long?”
Su Wan smiled and waved the red fruit in her hand. Her brows that had been brooding for a whole day relaxed and she was quite proud.
“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 can indeed be eaten, but the taste is a little strange.”
Su Wan suddenly understood and said, “oh.” However, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed when she heard the second half of the sentence.
So this so-called red cloud fruit was not delicious. No wonder there were so many fruits on the whole tree there, but no one came to pick them.
But having something to eat was better than having nothing to eat.
After Ming Ye said that, he reached out his hand consciously and took the large pile of dry branches in Su Wan’s arms.
“Let me take them.”
Su Wan nodded. Her arms were sore from holding those branches, so she did not stand on ceremony with Ming Ye.
…
The two of them walked one after the other and sat down at a big rock that was sheltered from the wind.
Ming Ye found two flint stones that could start a fire from God knows where. He fiddled with them for a while, and soon the stones began to smoke, easily producing flames.
Su Wan saw the fire and felt her jaw drop.
While she was amazed at Ming Ye’s superb survival ability in the wild, she could not help but feel a little ashamed.
If Su Wan was alone in the wild, survival would be a big problem.
Then, Ming Ye skillfully used a tree branch to pierce through the bellies of the river fish, and very carefully removed the internal organs of the river fish.
Then, Ming Ye casually took a string of thin branches and pierced the entire fish through the throat.
Ming Ye did all these actions in one go. It was as smooth as flowing water.
Of course, Su Wan was not idle. She rolled up her sleeves and began to add firewood to the stove.
She tilted her head and took the fish from Ming Ye’s hand. She carefully grilled them on the stove.
Ming Ye turned his head slightly and looked at Su Wan from the corner of his eyes. Perhaps it was because she 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.
Her clear eyes reflected the light of the fire, and her originally gloomy expression faded away. She was like the river water that reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, sparkling and vivid.
Such a beautiful girl…
He thought that Su Wan was delicate, but at least she had not complained along the way. Her ability to adapt was not bad…
Ming Ye realized the deviation in his thinking. He sighed in his heart and quickly shifted his gaze away from Su Wan.
Ming Ye pursed his lips and said faintly to Su Wan.
“I’m going to see if there are any plants around here that can be used as seasoning. You grill the fish here first.”
Ah?!
Ming Ye actually knew how to recognize such things?
Su Wan was stunned, but Ming Ye had already stood up and was walking further and further away.
Seeing that the fish had already turned slightly yellow from the roasting and the aroma of cooked food was still lingering in her nostrils, Su Wan gulped, afraid that she would burn the fish.
Su Wan stared at the red cloud fruit that she had washed and had a sudden thought. Should she try roasting the fruit?
