Tonghua walked up to Tang Shiyao, shook the blanket, and draped it over her. Tang Shiyao looked up at Tonghua and asked casually, "Why did you take so long?"
Tonghua said without changing her expression, "I just saw them grilling over there, and I wanted to see if there was any food in the trunk of our car so I could grab some and grill it together. But I searched for a long time and couldn't find any, so that's why we've been delayed for so long."
Tonghua did not tell Tang Shiyao about her encounter with Jason when she went to get the blanket, and she did not even tell her about Jason's attempt to assault her when Tang Shiyao went to the woods to find her this afternoon.
Although Tang Shiyao asked Tonghua what happened between her and Jason at that time, and felt that the atmosphere between them was a little weird, Tonghua wanted to tell this matter immediately, but when she saw Tang Shiyao dragging her weak body to find her, she didn't want to make her worry.
And Tonghua estimated that they were still some distance away from the camp. If she told Jason everything on the spot, there was no guarantee that Jason would not fight her to the death.
Even if they managed to return to the camp, it was already late and they could only drive on mountain roads to go back the same way. These mountain roads were not very smooth. If one of them did not see the road clearly while driving and fell into a pit, they would be helpless. Therefore, they could not risk returning home at night.
For various reasons, Tonghua had to conceal the matter and make a big deal out of it. She only said that Jason had just been pestering her, and she said that she was already married, but Jason was still chasing her. This made Tang Shiyao very angry, and she wanted to scold Jason on Tonghua's behalf, but Tonghua persuaded her gently.
Only then were they able to successfully leave the dense forest and return to the camp safely.
When Tang Shiyao heard Tonghua say that she was trying to find out if they had brought any food, which was why they were delayed for so long, she didn't think much about it. She just sat there quietly, watching the people busy around the campfire.
Tonghua naturally saw it too, so she said to Tang Shiyao, "Shiyao, you rest here. I'll go help them first."
Tang Shiyao also said comfortably: "Okay, go ahead, I'll be fine here alone."
Tonghua walked over to the bonfire and watched several men and women gathered around it, some adding firewood, some turning the barbecue over, and some, seeing the wind was getting a bit strong, were building a windbreak for the bonfire...
Fairy Tale walked there and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Qiao was grilling skewers on the grill when she heard Tonghua's voice. She looked in Tonghua's direction and said, "Tong, here! Please watch these things first. I'll be back soon!"
"Okay, no problem."
Tonghua took the skewers for Qiao and immediately started brushing them with various delicious sauces. Seeing that Tonghua was very skilled in his movements, Qiao left the place with peace of mind and walked in one direction.
Tonghua looked towards Joe curiously, but she didn't expect that Jason had been following her secretly, and now Joe was walking towards Jason.
After walking up to Jason, Joe started talking to him happily.
After grilling for a while, Tonghua estimated that some of the food was cooked, so he called everyone to eat together. When everyone else had finished eating, only Tonghua and Tang Shiyao were left. And - hadn't eaten yet, so Tonghua divided the cooked food into three portions and gave one of them to him.
"Mr. Max, I see you're tired after a day. Come and have something to eat."
Max took the food but didn't eat it. He looked at the skewers thoughtfully and said, "You eat first. I still have something to do."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Tonghua took the remaining skewers to Tang Shiyao, and sat on a rock with her, eating and chatting.
Just as the two of them were enjoying their meal, Max came over again. He walked up to Tang Shiyao and Tonghua and said, "This is for you."
As he said that, he handed something in his hand to Tang Shiyao.
Tang Shiyao and Tonghua looked at each other, feeling confused and not knowing what Max meant.
Seeing that Tang Shiyao hadn't moved, Max added, "I noticed you were feeling a little unwell this afternoon. It's not appropriate for patients to eat greasy foods, so I went out and dug up some wild vegetables this afternoon and made some soup. If you don't mind, try some."
Tang Shiyao thanked him.
When she took the thing, Tonghua saw that it was an oversized military-grade water cup, before they could show any surprise.
Max immediately explained, "We're in the wild here, and we didn't bring enough bowls and chopsticks, so I came up with an idea. I'll put the wild vegetables in this cup and slowly cook them. How do you like it?"
Tang Shiyao said gratefully, "Thank you for taking so much trouble for me. I'm going to try it."
Tang Shiyao picked up the cup that could be used as both a water cup and a bowl, and immediately started drinking the soup. After she finished the whole bowl of soup.
Tang Shiyao praised: "This soup is good. I didn't expect Max to know about wild vegetables?"
Max replied, "When I was in the army, I would sometimes lurk in the wild for a while. After a long time, I naturally recognized which ones were weeds and which ones were wild vegetables."
Before Tonghua could be surprised, Tang Shiyao's eyes widened in astonishment: "Max, you were a soldier before?"
Max replied calmly: "Yes, but that's all in the past."
Tang Shiyao and Max were chatting enthusiastically about these topics. If Tonghua hadn't urged Tang Shiyao several times to go back to bed, they might have continued chatting for a long time.
When Tonghua brought Tang Shiyao to the tent she and Nell had built together that afternoon, she was still yelling, "Tongtong, why don't you let me chat with Max? I haven't talked to him enough!"
Tonghua replied helplessly, "I saw you sweating after drinking that bowl of hot soup. It's windy at night. If you continue to stay like this, you will definitely catch a cold tomorrow. A cold is very uncomfortable. You need to get some rest."
Although Tang Shiyao was still unsatisfied, she still listened to Tong Hua's words and replied helplessly: "Okay then."
She took off her coat and prepared to go to bed. When Tang Shiyao got into bed and prepared to fall asleep with Tonghua, she found that Tonghua did not take off her clothes.
"Tongtong, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Tonghua replied: "Don't worry about me for now. I want to ask you, aren't you familiar with Max? How come you don't know what he used to do?"
Tang Shiyao said innocently: "I'm not very familiar with him. I only met him in Canada in the past half month."
"Huh?! So you two don't know each other!!"
