229 Baby Beats Him Up
If not for the fact that these things were still around, Huo Qi would have thought that everything that happened last night was just a dream. That cute and awkward Su Qing, who took care of him carefully, was just his wishful thinking!
Huo Qi cleared his throat and continued, “Qingqing? Baby! Where are you?”
“Shut up! It’s early in the morning, I don’t need you to summon my soul!” Su Qing held two wild river fish that had been peeled and washed in her hand. She stood not far behind Huo Qi and interrupted him.
Huo Qi turned to look at her with a smile.
Su Qing stepped over the tree roots under her feet and walked towards the fire. As she walked, she said to Huo Qi expressionlessly, “There’s one more thing I have to remind you. You’re not allowed to call me ‘Baby’ again. If I hear you again, I’ll beat you up!”
Huo Qi took two steps forward and walked to Su Qing. He said softly, “But you’re indeed my baby and the treasure that saved my life!”
Su Qing glared at him and stomped on the back of Huo Qi’s foot. Seeing that Huo Qi was grimacing in pain and no longer as calm and fearless as before, Su Qing retracted her foot in satisfaction and said coldly, “That’s the first time.”
Huo Qi chuckled and nodded helplessly. He said bluntly, “You’re really heartless. I’m still an injured person!”
“So what if you’re injured? The injured still have to be responsible for roasting fish!” Su Qing said as she handed the branch with the fish in it to Huo Qi.
Huo Qi was stunned and looked at Su Qing in confusion, as though asking, “What are you doing?”
Su Qing pursed her lips and suggested frankly, “In order for both of us to eat this hot meal this morning, I suggest that you roast it!”
Huo Qi sat beside Su Qing and subconsciously asked, “Why?”
Su Qing was speechless.
“Because I’m handicapped and can’t cook well. People gave me a nickname—Kitchen Killer!” Su Qing told Huo Qi her only flaw honestly.
Huo Qi subconsciously took the branch that Su Qing had forcefully stuffed into his hand. After a moment of stunned silence, his beautiful eagle eyes disappeared from his smile. “Are you serious? There’s actually something you can’t do? How can you be so cute? Come over and let me hug you!”
Su Qing calmly pushed Huo Qi away and looked at him speechlessly. “Stop joking! Hurry up and roast it! I’m hungry.”
Su Qing’s commanding tone in the beginning couldn’t hurt or affect Huo Qi, but the two simple words at the end made his heart soften.
Su Qing actually said to him, “I’m hungry!” If this wasn’t wheedling, what was?
This fully showed that he already had an extraordinary status in her heart. He was someone she trusted, someone she would ask for food from.
Young birds were only coquettish and dependent on the adult birds they felt they could rely on. This territorial feeling was something innate, and they would just rely on that.
It was the same with Su Qing. She was ignorant and innocent, like a young bird who was ignorant of the world. She would subconsciously decide if this person belonged to her, such as now.
After Huo Qi finished laughing, he looked fixedly at Su Qing. He swallowed his saliva and clenched his fists nervously. He thought to himself, I have to roast these two fish well. I can’t starve my cute and obedient wife!
Mr. Huo, who had made up his mind and had a firm gaze, had actually never entered the kitchen. He looked at the two fish in front of him as though he had encountered a huge problem, as though he was facing a great enemy!
Under Su Qing’s bright and expectant gaze, Huo Qi actually felt even more nervous than when he raided Scorpion’s nest yesterday.
The relaxed and happy atmosphere between the two of them looked very incompatible with the dangers and crises that were everywhere in the rainforest. However, the two of them, who were focused and serious, seemed to have forgotten where they were.
Huo Qi looked expectantly at Su Qing, who had taken a bite of fish, and was extremely nervous. “How is it? Can it be eaten?”
Su Qing wasn’t that picky about her food. She glanced at Huo Qi calmly and said seriously, “Yes.”
Seeing how obedient and easy to raise the child was, Huo Qi’s heart softened. What should he do if his wife was too cute? She looked like she wanted to be eaten in one bite!
Huo Qi retracted his impudent gaze and took a tentative bite of the grilled fish.
