Qi Shuoyu also smelled the aroma of food. After waking up from a seven-day period of feigned death, his stomach was empty. He looked up and saw that Shen Danru was eating heartily, and he also wanted to try a bowl.
But he had just injured the girl, and if he rashly went to beg for food now, he might upset her.
"Want some? Apologize to me, and I'll give you a bowl." Shen Danru took a bite of the chicken leg: "It's delicious."
"I'm not hungry." Qi Shuoyu's stomach rumbled loudly as soon as he finished speaking.
Shen Danru: "Aren't you hungry? Then I'm going to eat all this food."
She stuffed large mouthfuls of food into her mouth.
Seeing that the food was running out, Qi Shuoyu could no longer resist. He went over, picked up the bowl that Shen Danru had drunk from, and began to wolf down the food.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Rewards: 20 experience points, 100 points, and one compass."
Shen Danru smiled broadly: Thank you, System Master.
System: Hmph!
Shen Danru: They're really not to be trifled with.
Qi Shuoyu quickly finished the porridge in his bowl and looked at Shen Danru expectantly: "Is there any more?"
They look like they're really starving.
After waiting a moment without receiving a reply from Shen Danru, he looked up and saw her ambiguous smile. He felt a little embarrassed; he had almost killed this girl earlier, and now he was trying to steal her food. He was truly ashamed.
"How much are these dishes? I'll buy them from you."
He touched his waist, but it was empty. He touched it again, but still nothing. He looked into his sleeves, but found nothing there either.
He was a little hesitant to speak, so he tried to explain: "Miss, I don't mean to eat for free, it's just that... I'll make it up to you double once we get out of here."
"Never mind, never mind," Shen Danru waved her hand and said, "As long as you don't want to kill me anymore, that's fine."
Since I'm a sucker for good looks, I'll just treat him to a bowl of rice because he's so handsome.
Shen Danru ladled out another bowl and handed it to him, saying, "You look like you haven't eaten for days. Don't eat so fast, or you'll feel uncomfortable."
"Thank you for the meal, Miss. I am deeply grateful and will repay you once I leave this cliff."
Seeing that he was speaking normally, Shen Danru couldn't help but scrutinize him again.
She's no longer the sheltered young lady she once was. Having lived in modern times for so long, she's long since broken free from the feudal ethics of ancient times.
So his name is Yu. It's a nice name.
This time, Qi Shuoyu didn't wolf down his food like he did the previous bowl. Instead, he ate slowly, spoonful by spoonful, in a very elegant manner, just like a member of the imperial family.
She had seen this kind of demeanor in the Crown Prince before; no, he was even more elegant than the Crown Prince.
Who exactly is he? And why is he in the chest at the Azure Dragon Escort Agency?
The mountain stream is very cold after nightfall, especially in places like this. Not only is the wind biting cold, but there is also a terrifying atmosphere that you have never seen before, which makes you feel uneasy and even shiver involuntarily.
Although they were both sitting by the fire, Shen Danru still felt very cold. She wrapped her arms around her chest and shivered from the cold.
A dark shadow flashed by, and she was so frightened that she buried her face in Qi Shuoyu's arms.
Qi Shuoyu instinctively tried to dodge, but the fragrance of her body stirred his heart, and he involuntarily pulled the beauty into his arms: "Don't be afraid."
After a moment, when Shen Danru came to her senses, she struggled violently: "You scoundrel, let me go."
Qi Shuoyu was stunned for a moment, then released her: "I'm not a lecher."
"You're clearly trying to take advantage of me."
A flicker of panic flashed across Qi Shuoyu's dark eyes, and a blush crept onto his handsome face. In his twenty years of life, this was the first time he had ever impulsively embraced a woman, and the first time a woman had ever been able to get close to him.
"Please don't misunderstand, young lady, I just..."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What perfume are you wearing?"
When Qi Shuoyu first woke up, his sense of smell had not yet returned, so he did not smell Shen Danru's fragrance. This was the second time he had been in close contact with Shen Danru, and the fragrance on her body made him unable to resist.
Maybe this is a tactic the woman used to get close to him.
Shen Danru lowered her head and sniffed herself, but she didn't smell of anything at all. It was really inexplicable.
"I like fragrance. Before, when I was in Hou... a long time ago, I liked to use the Immortal Incense. Now I don't use any fragrance at all."
Yu Chuhan's eyes narrowed as his gaze fell on the woman in front of him.
Who exactly is she? Was she arranged by that person?
"You don't believe me?" Shen Danru glared at her. "You don't suspect that I used some kind of aphrodisiac to get close to you, do you?"
"Don't worry, although I'm a sucker for good looks, I'm not that indiscriminate. I was just a little scared when I saw a dark figure, which is why I offended you in a moment of impulse. I apologize."
Qi Shuoyu: A face-obsessed person?
What's the meaning?
Why did she call herself a dog?
Although Qi Shuoyu didn't know what "face-dog" meant, he understood the meaning of "hunger makes one indiscriminate in their choice of food".
Judging from the woman's appearance, she wasn't lying.
But why did I react when she got close to me?
Did this woman's embrace cure the ailment that had plagued him for years?
Qi Shuoyu suppressed the pounding in his heart.
At this moment, Shen Danru angrily climbed onto the wooden box. His short legs tried to climb in several times but failed, making him look quite comical.
Qi Shuoyu's lips curved slightly.
He stepped forward, picked her up, and jumped in together.
"Let me go..."
Shen Danru struggled to get up, but because the wooden box was too small, she accidentally bumped into the side of the box. However, it didn't hurt at all, as a man's hand quickly cushioned her fall.
"Thank you."
"You should get some rest."
Fearing that he would anger Shen Danru again, Qi Shuoyu jumped out of the wooden box.
Inside the large wooden box were pillows and blankets. Shen Danru found a comfortable spot to lie down, covered herself with the blankets, and finally felt less cold.
When she woke up, she climbed out of the wooden box. Qi Shuoyu was still sitting by the fire, resting with his eyes closed.
Last night, seeing that he had given her his bedding, Shen Danru took the initiative to cook a meal.
She made porridge again this time, tomato and kelp porridge, and simply prepared a side dish, and placed it on the lid of the wooden box as usual.
Looking at the busy little figure, Qi Shuoyu felt a slight urge not to leave.
If one could be trapped here for life, far from the deceit and treachery of the world, wouldn't that be just as peaceful?
Seeing Shen Danru bring over two bowls, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey man, I'll give you a bowl of food since you gave me your bedding last night."
There's no visible injury on this scoundrel. Let him recover quickly, and then we'll figure out a way to get out.
Qi Shuoyu stepped forward and said softly, "Qi Shuoyu."
Qi Shuoyu, the name sounds familiar.
Shen Danru scrutinized him closely, and when she saw the man pick up the bowl and start eating without any hesitation, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
He looks somewhat like someone, but upon closer inspection, there is no resemblance.
His surname is Qi, could it be him?
