It was unconsciously that Yun Shunnian asked the question.
After speaking, Yun Shunnian felt how shameless her request was.
"What kind of look?" Mu Qi was stunned. Recently, Yun Shunnian's requests always surprised him.
"I'm sorry, Mu Qi, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Yun Shunnian, ashamed and embarrassed, walked towards the fish that had already been threaded onto a skewer.
At this moment, the fire Mu Qi had previously built had been extinguished. Yun Shunnian, recalling the scene of Mu Qi building the fire earlier, tried to pick up two pieces of firewood to start a fire.
However, as soon as Yun Shunnian made a tentative move, Mu Qi took the two pieces of firewood from her hands.
"Don't do these things anymore in the future." The little princess he held in his hands was not suited to handling such rough firewood.
Mu Qi threw the firewood in his hands aside and then carried Yun Shunnian to the banyan tree.
Yun Shunnian sat there obediently, knowing that otherwise, their lunch would be delayed indefinitely.
Thus, Yun Shunnian watched as Mu Qi easily started the fire, then guarded the flames, adding firewood and turning the fish from time to time.
Soon, the aroma of roasted fish began to fill the air. The surface of the entire fish hanging on the wooden stick had turned golden-yellow, and the crackling of the fire began to subside.
Mu Qi handed the roasted fish to Yun Shunnian.
Yun Shunnian's stomach growled, and she took it, stuffing it into her mouth.
However, just as she was about to take a bite, Mu Qi gently took her hand and moved it away.
"Mu Qi." Yun Shunnian's eyes were watery, and she drew out her words, looking pitiful.
"Wait a moment, it's very hot." Her watery eyes pierced Mu Qi's heart.
Mu Qi's Adam's apple bobbed. His heart raced like a startled deer.
"Oh." Yun Shunnian puffed out her cheeks and blew hard on her fish.
Although she still looked pitiful, Mu Qi could feel that Yun Shunnian was more vibrant today than yesterday.
Mu Qi slowly exhaled.
Suddenly, the fish Mu Qi had just handed to Yun Shunnian appeared before Mu Qi?
Mu Qi turned his head in confusion to look at Yun Shunnian.
"Mu Qi, I'm too weak. Blow on it for me." Yun Shunnian continued to look at Mu Qi with her clear, curved eyes.
Mu Qi raised his hand, grabbed the stick with the fish attached, and, as Yun Shunnian wished, opened his lips to blow on the fish.
Mu Qi seemed to possess a refined beauty. It was only natural that such a handsome person would easily evoke romantic misunderstandings in whatever they did. However, Mu Qi's gaze and aura always conveyed an icy coldness.
Yet, at this moment, all of Mu Qi's icy exterior seemed to have been melted by Yun Shunnian. Coupled with this gentle action, his slightly parted red lips made Yun Shunnian feel an irresistible prickling sensation.
Mu Qi's demeanor made Yun Shunnian feel as if she were being seduced.
Yun Shunnian, as she had many times since her rebirth, became even more infatuated with Mu Qi, as if caught in a vortex, feeling a fatal attraction.
"What is it?"
Mu Qi's voice, clear as a moonlit breeze, sounded in Yun Shunnian's ears, jolting her back to reality.
Yun Shunnian then realized that she was now only a breath away from Mu Qi's lips.
Yun Shunnian stared at Mu Qi's lips and swallowed. As she struggled, warm fish meat was pressed against her lips.
"You can eat it now."
Although Yun Shunnian was very hungry, she felt that Mu Qi was even more appetizing than the fish.
"Hmm? Aren't you hungry?" Mu Qi saw that Yun Shunnian wasn't moving and looked at the fish in his hand.
Did she not like the taste?
Yun Shunnian took a deep breath and took a bite of the fish, her eyes still fixed on Mu Qi. After a long while, she managed to control her turbulent emotions and focused on the fish that was nearly finished.
After Yun Shunnian finished eating, Mu Qi's second fish was also almost roasted.
However, seeing that Yun Shunnian had finished eating, Mu Qi immediately handed that fish to her as well.
"I'm full, Mu Qi, you eat." Yun Shunnian placed a hand on her stomach and waved the other.
Mu Qi glanced at the fish in his hand and said nothing.
The bonfire continued to burn. Just as Mu Qi was about to put the fish into his mouth, a thought suddenly struck Yun Shunnian, and she grabbed Mu Qi's arm.
Mu Qi's brow twitched, and he looked at Yun Shunnian, "Hmm?"
"You're allergic to fish, didn't you know?" Yun Shunnian's curved eyes widened.
"I forgot just now." Mu Qi chuckled, without any hint of panic from a near miss.
Still worried, Yun Shunnian took the fish from Mu Qi's hand, then placed her small hand on Mu Qi's lips, anxiously checking if he had accidentally eaten any fish.
The smile in Mu Qi's eyes deepened, but Yun Shunnian was looking too closely to notice the look in his eyes at that moment, the look she yearned for, filled with love.
"Next time, you must remember not to eat fish! Not to eat fish! Do you hear me?" Yun Shunnian's tone softened, but it still carried a hint of lingering fear.
"Yes, okay." Meeting Yun Shunnian's curved eyes, the deep love in Mu Qi's eyes instantly receded.
But if Yun Shunnian had offered it to him, he would have eaten it.
Yun Shunnian breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the fire dwindling, she went to get a water bucket from nearby, walked to the pond, filled it with water, and then returned to sprinkle it on the bonfire.
"What about this fish?" Yun Shunnian's gaze shifted from the smoldering bonfire to the whole fish, golden-brown and tender, in her hand.
"It's fine." Mu Qi's brow furrowed slightly as he saw Yun Shunnian's hand, which was dirty from holding the stick. He took it from her and was about to throw it on the ground.
However, Yun Shunnian instantly cupped Mu Qi's hand.
"I can actually eat a little more."
Mu Qi glanced at Yun Shunnian's slender waist and released his hand.
"Mu Qi, let's go back?" She had originally planned to fish with Mu Qi until nightfall, but now that Mu Qi couldn't eat fish, Yun Shunnian naturally couldn't bear to see him go hungry.
"Go back? You don't want to fish anymore?"
"Yes, I don't want to fish anymore."
Yun Shunnian took small bites of the fish and got up to walk back.
However, halfway back, Yun Shunnian suddenly realized that Mu Qi was not walking beside her, and she felt no tugging sensation on the chain around her wrist.
Yun Shunnian turned her head abruptly and met Mu Qi's wind-bright eyes.
