The atmosphere between Bai Lin and Yan Ruo that no one else could get involved in finally attracted the attention of Zhou Guang who had been admiring the scenery.
A cold glint flashed across Zhou Guangs eyes as he pulled Bai Lin to the side with a smile. “Sis, what kind of fish are in the water? They look pretty good. Should we catch a few of them to keep at home?
Seeing Zhou Guang’s interest, Bai Lin explained seriously, “These are barracudas, a variant of the triggerfish we ate before. It’s poisonous. This waterbody here is quite special, which is why there are so many kinds of fish here. It’s not very suitable for domestic rearing. If you like it, look at them as much as you want here.”
Zhou Guang nodded. “Okay. I like this one. Can you tell me more about it?” The other three also came over, looking at Bai Lin with curiosity.
Bai Lin liked the feeling of being admired. Her fighting spirit rose, and she began to talk non-stop.
Zhou Guang turned around and waved his fist at Yan Ruo.
Did he want to snatch his sister? He had to get past him first.
Yan Ruo chuckled and did not say anything.
Childish.
[Zhou Guangs protecting his sister, Their sibling relationship is great. I’m so envious.]
[Even Zhou Guang knows that Yan Ruo likes Bai Lin. Bai Lin, when are you going to find out?]
[Bai Lin is really amazing. She actually knows so many fish. I remember that Zhao Yuan and Bai Xi either openly or implicitly belittled our Lin-jie in the show previously, saying that she grew up in the countryside uncultured. I was almost fooled by them.]
[My Lin-jie knows everything! She’s omnipotent!]
The bamboo raft drifted along the way, and Bai Lin’s mouth was dry from talking. Without her saying anything, Jin Ran handed her a bottle of water.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lin-jie.” Jin Ran’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Bai Lin. “Lin-jie, how do you know everything? You’re so awesome.”
“There are so many types of fish here, and it’s too difficult to identify them one by one. Lin-jie, not only do you know what they’re called, you also know their living habits, Thanks to you, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge today,” Lin Sen said, impressed.
Bai Lin puffed out her chest and looked a little proud. She waved her hand and accepted everyone’s admiration. “Praise me more.”
Yan Ruo looked on from the side with a smile in his eyes.
She was so cute.
Bai Lin was showered with praises from the group that she got a little embarrassed later and blushed looking up at the sky.
“It’s getting dark. Let’s rest here and leave tomorrow.”
The few of them nodded and Bai Lin pulled the raft to the riverbank.
She looked around and patted the tree with a whitening trunk beside her. “Seems like we can have a good sleep today. You guys go collect some vines and palm leaves. I’ll deal with these white ash trees.”
Lin Sen asked, “Are you going to build a wooden house? But it’s getting dark. Won’t there be not enough time?
Bai Lin smiled mysteriously, “Not a wooden house but a tree nest.”
Lin Sen was filled with questions.
He did not quite understand. What was a tree nest? Could it be something like a bird’s nest? He wanted to ask more questions, but Bai Lin had already climbed up the tree with a machete and began to cut the branches and vines there
The others also went to collect the things they needed.
Bai Lin cut down a bunch of branches until the tree was almost bald before she came down.
[White ash tree: Thank you for the gift, human barber. I really like the new hairstyle.]
[What does Lin-jie want to do with these branches? They’re too thin to build a wooden house.]
[Don’t ask. Just watch Lin-jie do it.]
Bai Lin looked at the pile of palm leaves and vines on the ground. After rummaging through them, she felt that they were enough and walked over to Yan Ruo, who was the closest to her, and told them to come back and make a nest.
Yan Ruo was still picking palm leaves.
His fingers were long, and the joints were even. The veins on the back of his fair hands could be seen clearly; they showcased the strength of a man.
The edges of the palm leaves were thorny, When Bai Lin came to his side, he seemed to have made a mistake and his fingertip was wounded with a small cut.
He frowned in pain and stared at his fingertip in a daze. Then he shook his hand without caring too much. He did not treat his wound and was prepared to continue picking the leaves,
He was too careless! How could someone’s hand be cut by a leaf and they did not even know how to deal with it?!
Bai Lin was anxious, and the awkwardness disappeared. She quickly grabbed Yan Ruffs wrist and put his finger into her mouth.
She sucked on it and spat out the blood.
Yan Ruo lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes covering them, making it impossible for others to see through his thoughts.
After Bai Lin cleaned the cut. she looked at him and said seriously. “The palm leaves are not poisonous but there are a lot of bacteria in a place like this. You can get infected if you’re not careful. Next time you get injured, don’t ignore it. You must treat it, understand?”
“I understand..”
