Little did they know that Gu Lin didn't really want to borrow needles and thread, he was just... impulsive...
I just wanted to interrupt their conversation urgently.
He pursed his lips and answered Xu Huilan's question: "Sewing clothes."
Xu Huilan understood and quickly picked up the bamboo basket containing the eggs. She smiled and said, "Okay, then wait here while I go in and put the eggs in. Then I'll wash my hands and go find some needlework for you."
Gu Lin: "Excuse me, auntie."
Xu Huilan waved her hand and said, "It's no trouble, no trouble. Please wait here, I'll be right there."
Gu Lin: "Okay."
After she left, he stood there, looking towards Chen Yao casually, and then said lightly: "It's not like hunters can always eat prey at home.
Moreover, after they catch a good prey, their first consideration must be how to sell it for a good price, not how to fry it for better flavor."
In a corner where he couldn't see, Chen Yao quietly raised the corners of her lips, then pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What about those prey that are not easy to sell? Don't you keep them for yourself?"
Gu Lin calmly replied, "Prey that's hard to sell? Then they'll lower the price and sell it instead of keeping it for themselves."
Chen Yao: "There will always be times when we can't sell them, right? If we can't sell injured prey, won't we just have to eat them ourselves?"
Gu Lin raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Then make it into dry goods and sell it."
In this era when private transactions are very sensitive, some state-owned restaurants still secretly accept prey hunted by hunters in the countryside due to restrictions and limits on ingredients. Everyone turns a blind eye to this and no one will expose it.
Chen Yao continued to ask: "For example, a small rabbit like the one I have doesn't have much meat and is not easy to sell. What will they do with it?"
After thinking for a moment, Gu Lin told her: "They will raise them first, and then sell them when they are fat."
Chen Yao: ...
She curled her lips and said, "Captain Gu, if that's what you said, then they won't even leave a single prey for themselves to eat?"
Gu Lin didn't hesitate: "Yes, that's right."
Chen Yao: ...
Don't believe him.
However, she understood what he meant. If she married into a hunter's family, she would only be able to look at the delicious prey but not eat it.
Chen Yao frowned slightly, pretending to be annoyed. She looked at Gu Lin and asked innocently, "Captain Gu, do you know what kind of man and family a girl who likes to eat all kinds of meat is more suitable to marry?"
Her question was actually very sensitive.
But she had such an innocent and pure expression that it was impossible for people to think anything wrong. They could only think that she was simply curious and wanted to get a result.
Gu Lin pursed his lips, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable. After a pause, he said, "What you need to consider more is who is willing to hunt just for you, rather than relying on hunting for a living."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had expressed himself incorrectly. If he said that, then he had already given her hunting experience before. Wouldn't that easily lead to misunderstandings?
Then he quickly apologized and changed his tone, saying, "I'm sorry, I was a little biased. What I meant was that you need to see clearly who is truly qualified to meet your needs, rather than just looking at appearances."
After saying this, he still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what exactly was wrong, so he considered again whether he should change his way of saying it.
After hearing what he said, Chen Yao suddenly lowered her head, licked her lips quietly in a direction he couldn't see, and asked with a smile: "Satisfy my needs?"
Gu Lin: "Yeah, of course."
Chen Yao continued to switch to that innocent expression, looked at Gu Lin with moist eyes, and whispered: "Can you satisfy me? What kind of person is he...
I am a greedy person... Once I eat something good, I like to keep eating it.
If I'm not allowed to eat, I'll be craving for more...
But if you give me too much, I’ll be too full to eat any more, and then I’ll start to complain about not wanting to eat anymore…”
With every word she spoke, Gu Lin's body became stiffer and his temperature rose.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and secretly cursed himself in his heart: Gu Lin, Gu Lin, your thoughts are so dirty, how could you... have such nonsense?
He even felt a little hesitant to face Chen Yao's innocent and sincere gaze.
After a moment, he exhaled slowly and tried to remain calm to answer Chen Yao's question: "In short, you take your time to look for someone, remember to keep your eyes open and find the person who suits you best."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Captain Gu for your guidance."
Gu Lin: "Don't thank me, I didn't help you with anything."
Chen Yao blinked and insisted: "You helped me, you let me know that I should find a man who can let me eat enough."
Gu Lin's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his face away uncomfortably, not daring to let her see his loss of composure.
After a breeze blew past, dissipating some of the heat, he turned around, coughed lightly as if he had thought of something, and said to her: "Chen Yao, what we just talked about, you just need to know it by yourself, don't mention it to others, okay?"
Chen Yao smiled playfully and said to Gu Lin: "Of course, this is a little secret between me and the battalion commander. I won't tell anyone else."
Gu Lin was relieved, "Yeah, a little secret."
Then I heard Chen Yao continue to say: "After all, I don't want others to know how greedy and gluttonous I am. I will make a fuss when I eat too much..."
Overeating...
Will make a noise...
Gu Lin's face began to turn red again, and the fever that had just subsided rose again.
He gritted his teeth hard, forcing himself to control his wandering thoughts and not let his imagination run wild.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The two of them were silent for a while, as if they were each thinking about something.
When Xu Huilan came out after finding the needle and thread, they were already busy with their own things in a very natural way.
Chen Yao continued to play with the little rabbit leisurely, while Gu Lin looked away, his face as cold and indifferent as ever.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Huilan could not imagine what kind of conversation had just taken place.
She quickly handed all the needlework in her hand to Gu Lin and said embarrassedly, "Captain Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. These needlework haven't been sorted out for a while, so they're a bit messy. I sorted them out inside before taking them out."

Captain Gu: Hunters only care about hunting and not eating, so you can only watch but not eat. How can you be better than me?
