Chapter 88: Saved by the Minor Antagonist (3)_1
"There’s nothing left to eat." Xiu Xi skewered the cleaned wild chicken on a branch to roast it, turned around to pull her to his side, making sure she was within his line of sight, before he continued, "From now on, don’t eat any."
He didn’t like eating mice himself – firstly, they had little meat, and secondly, the taste was mediocre. It was just that when he first arrived in this world, his body was too weak to hunt, and he could only pick up some mice to eat. He didn’t know if it was good luck or bad luck, but every time, he ended up encountering her and even let her see everything clearly.
"Mmhmm, don’t eat them anymore, I’ll hunt meat for you," Ruan Jiaojiao chimed in, her eyes fixed on the wild chicken.
The fire was strong enough, and the pheasant roasted quickly, turning the outside layer pitch black. As Ruan Jiaojiao was hungry, having only eaten fruit for a day and a night with no other sustenance, she surprisingly found the charred pheasant quite fragrant.
The oil from the pheasant dripped onto the firewood, sizzling and intensifying the flames. Ruan Jiaojiao shifted her gaze from the wild chicken to Xiu Xi beside her.
She didn’t know if it was the beauty of the moonlight or the brightness of the fire, but she actually found this little antagonist to be much better-looking than the first time she saw him.
His height wasn’t discernible, but he had definitely put on some weight and no longer looked emaciated. Although he was wearing tattered clothes, they couldn’t hide his delicate features. She believed that if he dressed up carefully, he would undoubtedly be the best-looking person in this book.
"Brother Xiu, what do you think about Wa Yiting?"
Xiu Xi turned to look at her with a puzzled expression, as if he didn’t know who she was talking about.
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, explaining, "It’s that little girl we went to see together that day, the sick one, remember?"
Xiu Xi looked at her for a few seconds, then nodded silently.
