Chapter 63 A little sad and scared
She raised her little hand, picked up the fruit, and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes.
The fruit is round and plump, with a light sheen on the skin.
"Should we peel it and eat it as is?"
Xia Yueke muttered softly, her eyes moving back and forth between Qingyan and Guozi, as if trying to get an answer from him.
But Qingyan nodded and picked up a fruit on the ground, "Eat it, it's delicious."
Then he stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it for a few times. Wow, his eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb that had suddenly been electrified. "Hmm, delicious."
"It's better than stone."
Xia Yuke pouted and brought the fruit to her nose to sniff. A sweet fruity fragrance instantly penetrated her nose, making her even more confused.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and bit it.
"ah-"
"My teeth!"
Xia Yueke covered her mouth, and when she opened it, a small tooth mark was reflected on it.
It turns out the shell is hard! It's all Qingyan's fault. He ate it so easily that she thought she could eat it too!
Xia Yueke endured the pain in her two front teeth and peeled off the shell of the fruit.
The fruit inside was actually red. Xia Yueke took a tentative bite and it tasted sweet.
Xia Yueke ate the remaining fruits in the same way.
After Xia Yueke devoured four or five fruits in a flash, her stomach already felt half full.
However, she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan. In order to delay more time, she deliberately muttered to Qing Yan:
"Still hungry!"
Qing Yan looked confused. After hearing this, he said in a muffled voice:
"Okay, go ahead and find something to eat."
In fact, there were still quite a few fruits on the tree, but Qingyan seemed to be tasting the wonderful taste of normal food for the first time, and he couldn't help it at all. He ate all the fruits in a few "crunches".
Xia Yueke was just watching from the side, her eyes narrowed into two crescents, the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears, but she didn't go up to stop it.
She was so happy, but now Qingyan had to work hard to find food.
Sure enough, Qing Yan came over, picked up Xia Yueke and put her on his neck without saying a word.
Xia Yueke no longer had the shyness she had before. Maybe it was because she was familiar with the situation. Anyway, she looked like a child now. She was not embarrassed, not at all.
Qing Yan continued on his way carrying Xia Yueke. As he walked, he suddenly asked:
"Yue, do you like to eat fish?"
Xia Yueke was confused by the question and blinked her eyes, but nodded subconsciously:
"Fish is delicious too? What's the matter? Do you want to take me fishing? Or how about going to that creek we went to last time?"
It’s close to the tribe, maybe I can meet Yaoyao there!
Qing Yan shook his head and said in a rough voice:
"No, there's water nearby. Go there!"
Xia Yueke spread her hands helplessly when she heard this, secretly complaining in her heart:
"Alas, the plan has been ruined again!"
After a while, they came to a pond.
Qing Yan put Xia Yueke on the shore and said, "Wait, I'll catch the fish."
Then he jumped into the water with a "splash".
As Qingyan just touched the water, his muscles expanded rapidly, and a layer of strange scales gradually emerged on his skin, turning him back into his monster appearance.
Xia Yuke was watching excitedly on the shore. She didn't expect Qingyan was not afraid of water!
In order to take a closer look at how Qing Yan caught the fish, Xia Yueke walked closer.
I saw him suddenly dive to the bottom of the water, and the speed was so fast that a string of crystal bubbles was brought up.
When he reached the bottom of the water, he opened his mouth wide and gulped down a mouthful of water. The fish around him were frightened and fled in all directions, but Qingyan was not moved at all.
Qingyan swam back to the shore quickly. The moment he got ashore, water splashed everywhere and the grass on the shore was bent down.
As soon as he stood firm, he spat out the water with a "splash".
Many fish were jumping around on the ground.
Xia Yue didn't expect Qing Yan to catch fish in this way, and couldn't help laughing.
"Qingyan, you caught quite a lot of fish at once! It's just that the way you did it is so funny!"
Qing Yan tilted his head, as if he had no idea what Xia Yueke was laughing at. Usually he would swallow the fish directly and eat them as snacks while drinking water!
After a while, under Xia Yueke's command, Qingyan was busy and happy.
Busy scraping fish scales and grilling fish.
While grilling the fish, he squatted beside the grill, carefully turning the branches and keeping an eye on the fish.
The fish is grilled until golden brown, the aroma is tempting, and flames are emitted from the dripping fat.
When the fish came out of the oven, Xia Yueke couldn't wait to eat it. It tasted fresh and tender.
Xia Yueke wanted to savor this delicacy slowly, but after she finished eating the fish, Qian Jingyao still hadn't arrived.
She sat on the soft grass, staring blankly at the forest in the distance. Her little hands were unconsciously twisted together, and her slender fingers turned slightly white due to the force.
She felt like a deer was running around in her heart, and all kinds of uneasy thoughts flooded her mind.
Would Qian Jingyao give up if he couldn't find her? Would he just abandon her like that?
Xia Yueke's blue eyes were full of worry. She had never heard of such a thing in the tribe. If a partner disappeared, would the tribe find a new one for him?
When she thought of this possibility, her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably scared. This fear was like a tide, hitting her heart in waves, making her feel suffocated.
"Yue, what's wrong with you?"
Qing Yan's honest voice sounded in her ears. He moved in front of Xia Yuke, stuck out his tongue, and licked away the tears that Xia Yuke had unknowingly shed.
Xia Yueke seemed to have been touched on the reverse scale. She pushed him away suddenly and stood up. Her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees with a hint of anger:
"Are you a dog? Go away?"
Qing Yan looked bewildered, tilting his head and saying:
"You said, what, I am, what!"
Xia Yueke suddenly felt a surge of blood and energy, as if something was stuck in her chest. It felt extremely uncomfortable.
She thought to herself, forget it, if I get angry with this guy, I will definitely be the first one to faint!
"Let's go back!"
Xia Yue said unhappily.
The way back was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the woods.
Xia Yueke was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't want to talk. Her eyes were a little empty and she just walked mechanically.
Qing Yan accompanied her silently and stopped talking, but his eyes were always on Xia Yueke.
