These words were not spoken by Su Nanxi!

It was Old Xu who came after hearing the noise and smelling the fragrance, with Fu Mingchuan by his side!

The two men crept silently to the fire, then suddenly made a sound, startling Nan Xi.

Mo Qinghe knew the two were coming, so he didn't react. He assumed Su Nanxi had also noticed, so he didn't remind her.

Su Nanxi was completely focused on the sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and was frantically turning and rummaging through them, not paying any attention to what was behind her.

Thinking to myself, it's the time when everyone is sound asleep, who would get up!

Aside from those on night duty, probably no one wants to get up. Isn't it better to just get some sleep?

But she miscalculated; there really are people who don't sleep and insist on getting up!

Old Xu was used to it, sleeping and waking up intermittently. He just woke up and, in his drowsy state, smelled the aroma of sweet potatoes. All his sleepiness flew away!

He sat up with a start and, upon seeing the two people by the fire, instantly understood.

Great! Time for a midnight snack!

Fu Mingchuan wasn't awakened by the fragrance. He was always very alert and remained highly vigilant even in his sleep. He was a light sleeper, and the moment Old Xu sat up in surprise, he opened his eyes.

Finally, the two exchanged glances, and then quietly got up and stealthily made their way to the fire.

Fu Mingchuan is a martial artist, so it's understandable that he walks silently. As for Old Man Xu, he was worried that making too much noise would wake up others and cause his sweet potatoes to be stolen!

Actually, it wasn't just these two who woke up; Xiao Wu and Xiao Han also woke up, but they didn't get up. They glanced around, saw nothing was wrong, and continued to sleep with their eyes half-closed.

Although I couldn't sleep and really wanted to get up, I held back.

If their master hadn't called them, and there wasn't much food, it would have been so awkward if they had gone over!

They should continue sleeping. Their mistress must be hungry. Look how excited she is, let her eat more!

They don't have to eat it!

Old Xu and Fu Mingchuan sat down by the fire, their eyes fixed on it as if they could light it.

Mo Qinghe wasn't used to being too close to people, so he hadn't sat with the other night watchmen before, but now the two of them squeezed in.

"It's cooked, you eat this first!" Su Nanxi told Old Man Xu to eat first.

Old Xu glanced at it, found it a bit small, and wasn't too happy; his beard twitched.

Su Nanxi knew exactly what he was thinking. "Don't worry, there's more to come, enough for you to eat your fill! Others may not have enough to eat, but I won't let you go hungry!"

Hearing Su Nanxi say this, Old Man Xu was pleased. That's more like it!

The roasted sweet potatoes were the most fragrant; the whole cave smelled wonderful.

Old Xu ate with relish, breathing on it to say it was hot, while happily taking bites.

Fu Mingchuan soon got one too. He didn't stand on ceremony and picked it up in front of him, but he didn't eat it right away. Instead, he let it cool down a bit before eating it.

Su Nanxi took out a bunch more from the cloth bag. They were all of medium size. If they were too big, they would be difficult to bake through and would easily burn on the outside but not inside. If they were too small, they would be easy to bake through, but it wouldn't be as satisfying to eat them!

With these two foodies around, we need to prepare more!

Fortunately, the fire was quite large, and there was plenty of firewood.

Mo Qinghe didn't say anything, but kept putting in a piece of firewood every now and then while helping his wife bury and turn over the sweet potatoes. He was never free.

He knew that roasting just a few wouldn't be enough!

There are still people awake; if they get up soon, there won't be enough to go around.

Mo Qinghe didn't control the heat very well for the first batch of sweet potatoes, but he got better and better at it after the second batch.

He thinks he can set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the future!

It's definitely going to make money!

With his skills, that's a sure thing!

He might not improve in anything else along the way, but his sweet potato roasting skills will improve rapidly!

The more Mo Qinghe thought about it, the more he felt he could make money from this.

He had it all planned out: where to set up a stall, where he and his wife could grill and eat together—no, he wanted to sell it all at the same time!

It seems pretty good!

Anyway, my wife loves this too, so it solves the problem of meals!

Su Nanxi was lucky she didn't know he was thinking that way, otherwise she would have been speechless.

You get tired of eating it all the time; who can eat it every day?

If there are other foods available, she definitely won't be picky!

In special circumstances, that's another story.

Like fleeing famine, having a sweet potato to eat to fill your stomach is already a very happy thing, and you should be content!

Ideally, you could eat it every day!

Unfortunately, Su Nanxi had no sense of wanting to escape the famine, and she hadn't even entered that mindset yet.

I came here with the mindset of experiencing something, like a tourist trip, but I was too excited to really immerse myself in the experience!

While others were extremely worried, she was overjoyed!

There's no comparison!

When Mo Qinghe saw that Su Nanxi's mouth was all black from eating, he couldn't help but laugh. "You little thieving cat!"

Su Nanxi was enjoying her meal when she suddenly wiped her mouth with her hand, completely unaware of what was happening. This only made things worse; she turned her head upwards and her face turned black all the way up to her cheek!

Unaware of her own ignorance, she blinked her big, bright eyes, looking completely innocent.

This made Mo Qinghe's heart melt completely; his wife was so adorable!

My wife seems adorable no matter what she looks like!

Her eyes are big and sometimes cold and sharp, sometimes clear and peaceful, and sometimes innocent and playful!

Every single one of them is so real, not pretentious at all!

Su Nanxi thought Mo Qinghe would tell her, but after waiting for a while, Mo Qinghe just looked at her with a smile, showing no intention of explaining to her at all, so she simply ignored him.

Isn't roasted sweet potato delicious?

Although my cheap husband is handsome, he's there and won't run away. I can look at him anytime. Sweet potatoes are different; they might be gone in no time!

After eating one, while waiting, Su Nanxi noticed a slight movement behind her and guessed who had woken up.

Without turning her head, she said softly, "If you two are hungry after waking up, come and have some roasted sweet potatoes. They're very fragrant and popular, so eat them quickly!"

Although they spoke softly, the cave echoed, and in the stillness of the night, even the slightest sound was amplified.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Han knew they were being called, so they didn't say anything and immediately got up.

The two walked silently; if you weren't listening carefully, you wouldn't have known they were coming.

Su Nanxi glanced over, not surprised at all. "We'll have to wait a while. You guys need to wake up first. I still have some left to bake. Here, I'll dig them out and put them back in to bury them."

He then tossed a few sweet potatoes to the two of them.

The two understood the principle of self-reliance, so they took it.

"Su Su, Su Su!"

Qin woke up, got up and came over, calling out to Su Nanxi.

Su Nanxi was a little surprised to see Qin Shi get up. Was she having trouble sleeping, or was she hungry in the middle of the night?

Seeing that Qin was hesitant to speak, Su Nanxi suddenly knew what Qin was about to do.

She immediately stood up. "I'll go with you!"

Qin was filled with gratitude; Su Su understood her best!

Su Nanxi took out a flashlight that she hadn't used in a long time, shone it on the light, and went out with Qin Shi.

Mo Qinghe was a little worried and wanted to go with them, but he held back.

"Honey, are you alright?"
