"Look, like this, hold the end of the branch with your hand, and when you see a fish passing by and about to reach the tip, stab it immediately. The action must be quick, accurate and ruthless."

The man in the black robe stood behind the girl, with his hand in front of her, gently pressing her hand and guiding her. It was a very possessive gesture.

Because of the close distance, I couldn't see the emotions in his eyes, I could only feel the rising body temperature. When a cool breeze blew past me, I thought it was just my illusion.

It would be nice if he could stay here forever, he thought. There would be only him and Yun Nian here, and no one else would come out to disturb them.

Unfortunately, Yun Nian is not suitable for living in the wild. She is like a delicate and beautiful crabapple, and the wind and rain can easily knock her down.

But she was different from the crabapple tree. Even though her petals were blown to pieces, she still stood up tremblingly.

Yun Nian didn't notice the little thoughts of the person behind him at all. He just looked at the branch in his hand seriously. Then, according to Wei Qingjue's instructions, he poked it hard when the fish swam over.

"Ouch, it ran away!"

Yun Nian couldn't help but stamp her feet twice. Her cute appearance was so adorable.

She looked at the little fish that had slid away from under the branch, and poked it several more times in a huff.

I don't know if it was luck or something, but a huge fish really got into her attack range, and she pierced its body and hung it on the branch.

"Wei Qingjue! Look!"

She excitedly raised the spoils in her hand, and even though all the water splashed on her body, she still smiled brightly.

Wei Qingjue's heartbeat suddenly paused, and then he quickly concealed his absent-mindedness without leaving a trace, and walked to her side with a normal expression.

"Well, that's a big fish. You learn quickly."

He patted Yun Nian's head and looked down at the girl in front of him. She didn't react in any other way, but rubbed his palm excitedly, and then stuck out her tongue.

What a terrible habit. She unconsciously acted like a spoiled child to His Royal Highness the Regent, but he would touch her head.

Yun Nian really likes to have close contact with her friends. She thinks this is not only a way for her friends to express their kindness to her, but also a way for her to show that they care about her.

So Wei Qingjue has indeed been placed in the role of a good friend by her, right?

However, she didn't seem to have ever been so permissive towards Zuo Mingyuan. Does this mean that Wei Qingjue is different?

But she couldn't be sure whether this difference was due to the extra memory or gratitude.

The relationships between people are inherently complicated. Just like now, she still feels nostalgic but also fearful towards her family. It is difficult to explain that emotion all at once.

It's like I can always bring a smile to the subject when I mention it, but once I get close, those defensive thoughts will suddenly pop up again.

They had already stayed in this forest for three days. Due to Wei Qingjue's injury, they could not move freely. The most they could do was to pick some wild fruits and catch some small animals as before.

She only washed herself lightly with stream water. Without Xiangyi, she felt that her body odor would become strange.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Wei Qingjue smiled, took the fish with one hand, cut it open, sprinkled some strange spices on it, and began to roast it.

"Don't worry, my wound has almost healed. We will clean up later and then go down the stream. Maybe we can find a place with people."

"Really? That's great!"

Yun Nian clapped her hands excitedly. She had long been fed up with the environment here. Everything else was fine, except that there were too many mosquitoes in the forest. Her arms and neck were covered with light red spots.

She gently scratched the red spot on her neck again, leaving a red mark on it with her nails.

"Don't scratch it too hard, or you'll break the skin and it will be very painful."

Her hand was suddenly grabbed, and Yun Nian looked at Wei Qingjue with some resentment.

"But it's itchy, I can't control it."

Why are there such things as mosquitoes in this world? When she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had never seen such things.

Of course, she didn't know that this was all because the maids in the mansion had been burning wormwood and incense to repel mosquitoes.

Without further accusation to the girl, the noble Regent wet the sleeves of his coat a little, and then gently wiped the red part with the cloth soaked in the cold stream water.

He lowered his head slightly, looking carefully at the red marks on his hands, restraining himself and observing etiquette, never letting his eyes move downwards even a little bit.

The familiar dark green eyes were half-hidden by crow-feather eyelashes, and it was hard to tell the emotions in them.

From Yun Nian's perspective, all he could see was his straight nose and his thin lips.

Was it an illusion? She always felt that Wei Qingjue's Adam's apple seemed to move under his chin?

"……itch……"

Yun Nian suddenly retracted his neck. Strangely, the itch on his neck did disappear, but his heart became itchy. He couldn't tell what the feeling was, it was like there were ants crawling on it.

But her movements were stopped. The hand on her back pressed lightly and then quickly released, as if just to let her return to her original position.

This wasn't some strong gesture, and the touch only lasted for a brief moment, so Yun Nian didn't even notice it.

Wei Qingjue raised his eyes, as if asking, and then wet his sleeves again.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon. I will make sure to find some grass to repel ants."

He wanted to continue, but Yun Nian rejected him hastily. She turned around abruptly, hesitating in her tone.

"I, I can do it myself, thank you, I can do it too."

She didn't notice that her ears were completely red, and when she turned around, Wei Qingjue behind her saw it all.

He chuckled, and the laughter seemed to come from his chest, with a low and hoarse resonance.

Still need to take it slow, he thought happily, and readily released the shackles on Yun Nian, and then slowly looked at the grilled fish.

Unfortunately, after his injury healed, he could no longer be like a gangster without a coat, and he could no longer seduce. He still had some confidence in his body.

But we can't rush Yun Nian. If she finds out, it will backfire.

The schemes and tricks he had learned and the seductive moves he had seen seemed to have found a secret, and he used them on Yun Nian unconsciously.

But it doesn't matter. She is so innocent that she can't detect these secret thoughts at all. He could just go a little further and trick Yun Nian into taking responsibility.

It’s time to turn the grilled fish over, Wei Qingjue thought.
