"You'll be in danger, we have enough to eat already..."
Yao Mingyue worried that it would be too dangerous for him to go to the deep water area now, especially since the weather could change at the drop of a hat, sometimes with the sudden onset of wind.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work out, I'll just head back in half an hour. You all have colds and definitely need something nutritious or you'll get sick again."
Xu Musen pinched her cheek: "Rest assured."
Yao Mingyue bit her lip but didn't stop him any longer: "Then I'll wait for you."
Xu Musen took the spear and started toward the deeper area where the fish were.
Yao Mingyue silently watched him struggle to spear fish underwater, while she could only use tweezers to pick up small things like conches.
She felt quite miserable, as everyone else was able to help out, but she seemed to be the only one unable to do anything.
For someone with a strong sense of pride like her, this was rather upsetting.
Of course, she also felt sorry for Xu Musen.
Even though he had spent last night tending to one person after another, which made Yao Mingyue a bit jealous, she still pitied her husband and worried about him catching a cold.
In her past life, although Yao Mingyue had a strong desire for control, she really never made Xu Musen suffer. At most, she just made him tire out his back, but he seemed quite happy about that...
After all, can suffering at the hands of your wife really be considered suffering?
Now, as she watched Xu Musen fishing hard, Yao Mingyue also carefully wheeled her chair along the coastline to see if she could find more things to pick up.
Though the typhoon had passed, the seaside was still very cold, especially with the occasional waves that carried mist, making Yao Mingyue's hands and feet feel somewhat cold.
She flipped over a rock with her tweezers and her eyes lit up. Under the rock, she found two crabs, one large and one small.
Yao Mingyue managed to grab the small one with her tweezers, but the large crab swiftly tried to make a run for it. Yao Mingyue immediately adjusted her wheelchair and tweezers!
"Humph! Think you can escape?"
Yao Mingyue eyed the large crab. Xu Musen really liked eating crabs, so she was determined to catch it!
But the crab, although only able to move sideways, scuttled along surprisingly fast. Yao Mingyue chased after it in her wheelchair and found it difficult to maintain accuracy with the tweezers while moving.
The sight of her chasing the crab had its comedic moments.
Crab: "I dare you, XX! Have you ever struggled for your life?"
As Yao Mingyue almost couldn't keep up, and the crab was about to make it into the sea, she threw aside her tweezers and stepped on the crab to stop it!
"Humph! Try running now... Ouch!"
Before she could feel triumphant, the next moment she let out a cry of pain. The crab clamped onto her toe with its claw. Its strength was considerable, turning Yao Mingyue's delicate toe red almost instantly.
But when she turned around, she realized she had chased the crab too far from where she started, and it was too late even to call for Xu Musen's help.
Besides, she wanted to resolve this minor issue herself.
She gritted her teeth, thinking of prying the crab off.
"Don't move just yet!"
At that moment, a crisp and pleasant voice came through.
Yao Mingyue turned her head and saw a girl in a light yellow skirt, with a ponytail, running toward her.
She was an extremely beautiful girl, with legs as white as alabaster under the summer sun and a figure that represented the perfect proportions of a maiden. Her facial features compelled Yao Mingyue to commend her beauty, as they were truly lovely.
She had a delicate, petite face with gentle curves at the cheeks, a high-bridged nose, and a pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes that shone like stars.
As she approached, the natural fragrance of gardenias wafted towards Yao Mingyue...
