The rabbit was roasted, and Wu Sicheng thoughtfully found a large leaf and used a dagger to slice off pieces of rabbit meat, handing them to An Moxue.
An Moxue took it and said, "You eat one too, let's each have one. Commander Wu is too thin, he's not as good-looking as before! He used to be so elegant and handsome, it's pleasing to the eye. Now he looks so pitiful."
"I'll eat it, and I'll definitely get back to my old self as soon as possible." Having a girlfriend who prioritizes his appearance above all else, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, sigh!
He picked up another rabbit, broke off its two legs, placed them over An Moxue's side, and then began to eat.
Perhaps it was because he saw An Moxue that his appetite was unusually good; his previous inability to eat and the tastelessness of food were completely gone.
An Moxue watched him eat with relish, slowly munching away. She wasn't actually very hungry, as she ate on time every day. However, when she saw Wu Sicheng, she noticed he had lost a lot of weight, and she just wanted to find an excuse to get him to eat something.
Even if she didn't say it, she knew why he had lost so much weight.
"Eat up! Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?" Wu Sicheng said, seeing that she wasn't eating and was only staring at him.
"It's quite pleasing to the eye to watch our dejected Comrade Wu eat; it has a unique charm." He had already witnessed her linguistic abilities. If she wanted to make someone happy, she could come up with a whole repertoire of words, which were particularly pleasing to the ear. However, one had to ignore the truthfulness of her words. Nevertheless, he still liked her.
Just like now, she's saying sweet nothings, but her eyes are full of cunning and teasing; there's no sign of deep affection at all.
"So, do you like the beautiful Comrade An?" Wu Sicheng asked casually, seemingly following her words, but the sweat on his palms betrayed him.
"I love it!" she blurted out, not noticing his reddened ears.
I like anything that's pleasing to the eye!
He thought that she might have stayed in Russia for a long time and been influenced by the culture there, which made her express herself very directly, unlike before!
We hadn't seen each other for several years, and we were still quite familiar with each other. But the little girl had changed; she had grown into a beautiful young woman and was even more attractive.
He joked, "Then Comrade An must always like it!"
She chimed in, "Then Comrade Wu must always be this handsome!"
After they finished speaking, the two burst into laughter, which echoed through the mountains and rivers and carried far away.
Wu Sicheng asked, "What are your plans after we get back?"
An Moxue thought for a moment: "I want to spend a couple of days wandering around the mountains nearby, looking for some medicinal herbs, and preferably buying some more from the local pharmacies. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do after that, and then I'll go back to Esairi. I have two projects there that are at a critical juncture, and I can't be careless."
"I'll stay with you."
"Sure! If you have time."
They are all people who have no control over their own lives; they cannot even control their own time.
Wu Sicheng just smiled. The mission was complete, and he only had a few days to rest! He still had time to spend with her.
"The fish soup is almost ready. Do you have a spoon?" Wu Sicheng said, carefully digging away the charcoal ash buried on the lunchbox with a wooden stick, and carefully using two wooden sticks to pick out the lunchbox.
“Yes. Wow! It’s easy for the lunchbox to fall over if you’re not careful.” An Moxue took the backpack, took out a silver spoon from it, and handed it to Wu Sicheng.
Wu Sicheng opened the lunchbox, and a rich aroma wafted out.
"It smells delicious," An Moxue said, looking at the lunchbox.
"It will taste good even if you eat it." Wu Sicheng said, holding the fish down with a spoon and using chopsticks made from two wooden sticks to pick out the fish meat, removing the fish bones and fins. After he finished, the soup had cooled down enough. He wrapped the bottom of the lunchbox with a few large leaves and handed it to An Moxue.
An Moxue took it, smelled it, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
Wu Sicheng looked at her and asked, "How is it? Has your cooking gotten worse?"
An Moxue swallowed the fish soup in her mouth, paused for a moment, and said, "Mmm—it's delicious." Then she drank several more mouthfuls.
Wu Sicheng laughed and scolded, "You cunning girl."
An Moxue blinked her innocent eyes as she drank the fish soup from her lunchbox.
Wu Sicheng picked up the roasted rabbit again and continued eating.
An Moxue drank about half of the fish soup and then put it down.
Wu Sicheng asked, "Why aren't you eating? Have some more."
An Moxue smiled and said, "I'm full." Then she stood up and looked at the clothes hanging to the side.
She looked at the river not far away and smiled sweetly: "It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed. If you ignore the fact that I just escaped, don't we look like we're having a picnic?"
"A wilderness escape combined with a picnic, only you have such a good mindset," Wu Sicheng said with a smile. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked, "You must have encountered quite a few dangerous things these past few years, right?"
"It's alright! I'm used to it. Like now, although I look forward to it, if it's always the same, I'll get bored after a while. Life needs passion to make it colorful. Occasionally relaxing, balancing work and rest, and having a good balance is just right. I like adventure, even though it's full of dangers, it's precisely that unknown that's the most exciting." When she said this, it was as if she were talking about someone else's story, and she spoke with great candor.
I crave adventure, passion, and excitement, but I also crave comfort and enjoyment.
Wu Sicheng sighed, thinking, "This girl's standards are getting higher and higher. She's getting difficult to deal with."
But she's also becoming more and more charming!
"What's wrong?" An Moxue thought he was feeling unwell, so she went over, took his hand, and started to take his pulse.
After a while, he took the other hand and began to take the pulse.
She glared at him angrily and asked, "Your body is already like this, and you still went into the water? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
She truly had no idea that his health was so poor. His pulse was weak and shallow, clearly indicating that he had been sleeping very little and eating very little these past few days. It was only through sheer willpower that he managed to stay in the water under these conditions without throwing himself in.
"Alright, don't eat the rest of the rabbit, drink the fish soup instead!"
An Moxue thought for a moment, then took out a Guiyuan Pill from her backpack, handed it to Wu Sicheng, and said angrily, "Eat this, take a nap, and then we'll go back."
Wu Sicheng dared not say anything more, took the medicine, put it in his mouth, and ate it with the fish soup.
After finishing eating, he looked at An Moxue pitifully and said, "Moxue, I'm done eating."
"Hmm." An Moxue was both angry and touched, but she didn't want to talk to him anymore; she could just leave him to his own devices.
"Mo Xue." An Mo Xue ignored him, staring blankly at the fire in front of her, lost in thought.
He moved closer to her, standing right next to her, and seeing that she didn't move, he said cautiously, "I was just a little too eager to find you. I'll recover after a few days of good food and drink when we get back."
Seeing that she still didn't speak, he continued talking to himself: "You don't know, when I found out your name was on the missing persons list, I had only one thought: how could something happen to such a smart girl like you! You must be trapped somewhere unknown, waiting for me to rescue you! Thinking like that kept me awake and unable to eat, afraid that if I wasted even a minute, you would get hurt. Mo Xue—"
"Eat your fill and then sleep. Why all the nonsense?" An Moxue scolded fiercely, but to Wu Sicheng, it sounded exceptionally pleasant.
"Can I sit next to you and sleep?"
