Chapter 86: I’m really sorry
The light from the campfire was bright enough to see Bai Li’s figure soaking in the lake under the moonlight, which made the surface of the water shimmer. Her body was fair and white.
This scene was not new to them; sometimes it was Jiang Huai whose clothes got dirty, and he would bathe in the lake while Bai Li kept watch. Or they would bathe together, and occasionally Bai Li would casually scrub his back, or stand in the lake with her back to Jiang Huai, letting him wipe her down with a towel.
In the human race, such actions would typically indicate a very intimate relationship. But perhaps because Bai Li didn’t think there was anything wrong with bathing together, Jiang Huai didn’t have any strange thoughts either. He listened attentively to every sound around him while Bai Li submerged herself in the lake. When she emerged, she had caught two silverfish in her hands.
She ran happily to the shore, her eyes bright and her body still dripping with water droplets that flowed down her collarbone and fell to the ground with a patter. Jiang Huai quickly handed her a towel to dry off.
He then took the silverfish and started to clean them. After Bai Li dried off, she put on the white silk camisole nightgown Jiang Huai had prepared for her, and sat on a bluestone.
She watched as Jiang Huai skewered the cleaned silverfish on prepared sticks. The little snake couldn’t help but lick her lips; she wiped away her drool, full of anticipation.
When she and Jiang Huai first met, it was the scent of his grilled fish that attracted her. She had approached him with the mannerisms of the human race, asking if she could buy one. But Jiang Huai was generous and gave her the grilled fish.
Jiang Huai was an expert at grilling fish. After they were done, he handed both silverfish to Bai Li.
She looked up at him, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
“I prefer fish with fewer bones. You eat it.”
“I’ll catch another one for you.”
