She handed the water bottle to Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing, angry, threw the firewood he was holding onto the ground, as if he was still fuming.
Suddenly, he felt that at this moment, Xiao Jinxing was somewhat childish.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qichi also didn’t retaliate against Xiao Jinxing. After she handed him the water bottle, she went back to tending the small campfire.
Soon, the campfire that Xiao Jinxing had messed up pitifully, was nicely gathered together by Ye Qichi.
Xiao Jinxing was drinking spring water at this time.
His thirst for water made him gulp so eagerly that he didn’t control it and choked on a large sip.
It felt like he was almost choked to death.
Ye Qichi quickly put down the firewood she was handling and helped him by patting his back to ease his breathing.
Xiao Jinxing coughed violently several times before he finally stabilized himself.
Ye Qichi said with annoyance, "No one is competing with you, what’s the rush?"
Xiao Jinxing was also somewhat embarrassed.
In front of Ye Qichi, he seemed to always be making a fool of himself.
"Where is my rabbit?!" Ye Qichi suddenly realized that the rabbit she had just roasted was gone.
Could it be that Xiao Jinxing ate it?!
Eaten to the point not even bones were left!
"Over there!" Xiao Jinxing said through clenched teeth.
Following his direction, Ye Qichi saw the roasted wild rabbit thrown in the corner.
"How did it get over there?!" Ye Qichi wondered.
"Are you sick?!" Ye Qichi couldn’t help it, "Do you know that it’s our only dinner tonight! Do you think it’s easy for me to hunt a rabbit? Look at my arm, I got scrapes everywhere chasing this wild rabbit..."
While saying this, Ye Qichi rolled up her sleeve, intending to show the ungrateful Xiao Jinxing.
However, there were no scars on her fair arm.
It healed too quickly.
While Ye Qichi was racking her brain trying to make Xiao Jinxing believe that hunting a wild rabbit wasn’t easy, she suddenly heard Xiao Jinxing speaking in a very low voice.
It seemed like he was explaining.
Explaining why he threw the rabbit aside.
This demeanor seemed somewhat apologetic, yet stubbornly unwilling to apologize.
Speaking of which, did this guy really have a conscience now?!
Rarely, he actually seemed remorseful.
Ye Qichi’s anger also lessened quite a bit at that moment, she stared at Xiao Jinxing, "You wouldn’t be so foolish as to directly grab the roasted rabbit with your hands, right?!"
Xiao Jinxing did not speak.
He neither admitted nor lied.
At that moment, he had smelled the burning scent of the rabbit and instinctively reached out to grab the rabbit from the fire, completely forgetting how hot the rabbit would be at that moment. Touching it, his palm blistered from the heat, and unable to bear it, he flung it away, and due to his anger, he didn’t go pick it back up.
Ye Qichi now went to pick it up.
The wild rabbit was naturally no longer scalding hot, but still retained a bit of warmth, making it just good to eat.
She casually cleaned the dust visibly tainted on it on the ground while she couldn’t help but laugh, "Even if you’re starving, you shouldn’t be that impatient."
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips, the words at his lips swallowed back down.
After Ye Qichi cleaned the wild rabbit, she used the dagger to cut off the top layer that was a bit dirty and charred, then she cut a piece of just nicely roasted meat from inside and handed it to Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi.
He hadn’t expected her to feed him the first bite.
"Hurry up, it won’t taste good if it cools down." Ye Qichi urged.
She wanted to eat too.
This guy really doesn’t know how to take care of others.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered slightly, he commanded, "Feed me."
Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.
At this moment, she was clearly handing the meat towards his hand.
This guy still made such unreasonable requests at this time.
Did he think he still was the Prince of Prince Chen’s Mansion?!
Ye Qichi, a bit angrily, grabbed Xiao Jinxing’s hand and forcibly made him open his palm, preparing to place the meat in his hand while muttering, "Eat if you want, if not, just forget it..." before she could finish her sentence.
She saw several bright blisters on his palm, surrounded by a big patch of red skin, looking quite fierce.
Ye Qichi paused for a moment.
Xiao Jinxing, discovered by Ye Qichi, also felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Don’t tell me this is from the burn you just got from the wild rabbit?!" Ye Qichi stared wide-eyed.
She didn’t feel Xiao Jinxing’s embarrassment at all.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips tightly, his complexion bad.
"Xiao Jinxing, you never thought this day would come, did you?! To eat a bite of rabbit, you burned your hands ." Ye Qichi didn’t hold back her words, still rejoicing in his misfortune!
