Being asked out of nowhere, Shao Qing was a bit surprised and blurted out: “Someone clever, obedient, and thoughtful . ”
Then she became silent . Probably because of that scum Lin Qifan, she was now on guard against men that appeared like sunshine and were gentle and tender . But because of her control over her desire, she began liking that type she couldn't handle .
To speak plainly, it was the type that Shao Qing understood well . Only those men could give her a sense of security .
Silent for a while, Shao Qing added another phrase: “and also likes children . ”
Calculating within his mind, Yan Qiyue felt that besides the last clause, he met all the criteria . Furthermore, liking children is something that can be developed .
Yan Qiyue became a lot more relaxed . Then given an inch and taking a mile, he advanced towards Shao Qing, looking at her impatiently: “Tell me about your history . Even though I have never asked about your past, I really do want to know . ”
With nothing she really wanted to conceal, Shao Qing chose a few things from her past to tell Yan Qiyue . For example, that she was an orphan, has been in the military for a bit, and was currently single with a child .
The light from Yan Qiyue's eyes was lighting up the entire place . Towards that man who could make Shao Qing willingly give birth to him, he was just envious of death . However, since Shao Qing at present is single, then that must mean that man was already dead .
Even though that was the speculation, Yan Qiyue wasn't at ease . So he feigned ignorance and asked: “When I come to live with you, the father of the baby won't be against it right?”
With her head lowered she ground her fingernails upon hearing what Yan Qiyue said . Lifting her head she smiled: “You don't have to probe . He isn't by my side . I'm afraid that at present he probably thinks I'm dead . But that's even better . Nevertheless, appearing before him the moment when he is most proud of himself, then taking away everything will make it way more meaningful . ”
When Shao Qing smiled and her eyes becoming like crescents, she appeared particularly gentle . Yet, Yan Qiyue felt a bone-chilling cold . At the same time, the jealousy he felt towards that man became hate .

What could he have done to cause Shao Qing to be like this? Shao Qing must have been really hurt for her to hate him this much .
Once he met that man, he had to help Shao Qing vent her anger!
“Let's stop chatting . I think you should still sleep a bit . We still have to hurry on our journey early tomorrow . ” Shao Qing forced Yan Qiyue on the quilt . Yan Qiyue still wanted to say something but seeing Shao Qing's dark gaze he quietly laid down expressing his willingness to sleep .
His thoughts swirled in the air . Originally planning on thinking about the matter until the sunrise while he closed his eyes, once he closed his eyes he immediately fell asleep .
Once he was awake, it was already the next day . Opening his eyes, he could hear the crackling of the firewood beside him . Rubbing his eyes, he saw that there was a small pot above the fire with something boiling inside . Shao Qing was sitting on the other side of it, slicing mushrooms with her knife . After cutting it into small pieces, she threw them into the pot .
Recalling the matters of last night and how that knife had sliced the white bug, he instantly lost his appetite .
Following Yan Qiyue's gaze to the knife in her hand, she suddenly realized what he was thinking and explained: “I washed it . ”
Not thinking about all the zombies and people that knife had killed, he grabbed a pitcher of water to wash his face . Then he sat by Shao Qing's and waited for breakfast .
Shao Qing didn't need to eat . So there was only one reason why she was awake so early and that is for him . Thinking that Yan Qiyue's heart melted .
She had made mushroom congee for Yan Qiyue . The rice was new and she even added some dried meat sliced to shreds . There were even some chicken gizzards and wild pheasant .
The wild pheasant was caught when she went picking for mushrooms to prepare breakfast for Yan Qiyue . If she were to make stew, then it was probably the best as a supplement . Adding some ginseng, stewing it until the pheasant was cooked, then taking it out to tear into strips and finally cooking it a little bit more guaranteed a delicious with tender meat . The most crucial point about this stew was that it was full of nutrients .
However, in the wild, there wasn't so much idle time to prepare such a complicated dish . So, Shao Qing just cut the pheasant into pieces and added mushrooms . The taste was still pretty good .

The congee was extremely delicious . From the very first bite, Yan Qiyue was filled with love from the congee Shao Qing made for him especially . His eyes lighting up, he finished the entire pot of congee all by himself . Finally, especially satisfied, he reclined back on the quilt and rubbed his belly .
His flat belly was now slightly bulged out . Giving off the impression that it would be rather smooth, Shao Qing couldn't help but sinfully extend her right hand and lift up Yan Qiyue's shirt to touch his stomach .
His soft supple skin was a first-rate sensation .
After eating his full share and also being touched on the belly, Yan Qiyue seemed a bit moved . He can't eat meat, but drinking some soup is fine right? Throwing a flirtatious glance at Shao Qing: “Baby, whip me~”
That final syllable and his undoing of the button, as well as his snow-white chest revealed, was quite seductive . Shao Qing gave a small smile and reached out her hand .
Yan Qiyue's body immediately tightened, waiting for Shao Qing to give him suffering and delight . But, Shao Qing just fastened his button: “No joking . There's still a monster hiding within the dark . Be good . After we clean up, we have to hurry on . ”
Yan Qiyue's eyes widened . Wait a second, the script wasn't supposed to be like this . He was already thirsty to the extreme .
Shao Qing continued to put away the items and already finished washing the pot and bowl and placed it away in her space . Furthermore, she was already thinking about how when she returned to the base she would have to procure a bunch of things to replenish the items within her space .
Yan Qiyue could only stare at Shao Qing as she cleaned up . Waving her hand towards him: “Let's go . Once we leave this forest we'll be safe . ”
That creature wouldn't follow them all the way to the base . So as long as they leave this forest, they should be able to cast off that thing .
Yan Qiyue stood up exasperatingly slow, following Shao Qing . The trees in the forest were dense, even the grass on the ground was deep enough to almost reach a person's knee .

That was the grass they usually saw, but there were some parts where the grass was nearly as tall as a person . Shao Qing didn't dare enter those grass . Who knew what kind of thing was hidden in there . If they got hurt, then that would really make them cry .
All the way up to noon, the creature did not pop up once . At this time, Shao Qing made stewed mushrooms and chicken . The wild chickens in the forest were especially strong and delicious, so Yan Qiyue was very satisfied .
If it weren't for the case that there was no way to preserve it, he would have captured a few to take back so Shao Qing could cook a few more for him .
It has already been two days since the sneak attack that night . Detouring, Shao Qing has already returned back to the Chinese Enkianthus location and has easily collected a Chinese Enkianthus . Using a thin branch as a pole and a string to string the fruit stem, she made a lantern .
Once night arrived, the light from the lantern was weak but the faint pink colour was beautiful and it didn't attract wild animals . It was like killing two birds with one stone .
When the fourth day came along, they were nearing the edge of the forest . Yet, they still haven't run into Qiao Mo and the rest . On the other hand, that large white bug also didn't appear so Yan Qiyue assumed it had given up .
But even though it didn't show up, the two of them didn't show any traces of letting their guard down . After all, this is concerning the safety of their lives .
With no difficulty, she pinned a flower-patterned snake that was trying to launch a sneak attack to the ground . Lifting up the lantern, the sun had already set . Variation creatures should be coming out to hunt soon . Making a prompt decision, Shao Qing said: “Let's stop here . You need to eat some food to replenish your energy . We're not going to rest tonight . We are going to travel throughout the night and get out of the forest . We aren't too far . ”
Yan Qiyue nodded his head . Volunteering to serve as patrol, Shao Qing used the materials she had on hand and killed a few snakes and flayed their skin and took out their gall bladders .
The more poisonous a snake, the fresher and tastier the meat . Before when Shao Qing was in southeast Asia 'exercising', she would often gather a bunch of different local ingredients and eat a variety of wild game .
Handling snakes was no big deal . Extracting the venomous fangs and its poison sack, the remaining meat was not poisonous at all . There was also no need for a lot of condiments or seasoning . Just adding in some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar made the pot a delicacy .
After skinning eight snakes, it still wasn't ready to be eaten . Pushing away from the underbrush, she picked up two frogs . These ones she picked up were poisonous, the wart on its back oozing out the liquid . But don't judge it by its appearance . After skinning it, it could also be eaten .
When people are in desperate times, they would be willing to eat anything . Shao Qing had a teammate who was rather proficient in these . She had just stewed frog with radish, not using any other materials andit was still amazing .
Shao Qing added a bit of chicken stock to give it more flavour, then the meat stew was done . Milky white soup with meat chunks floating around, the sweet smell wafted outwards . Calling Yan Qiyue over, she poured a bowl for him: “Try it . ”
Yan Qiyue came over to give it a try . The meat was tender . Biting into it, some of the soup would even squirt out . A mouthful of flavour, it was even better than the exotic delicacies he's had before .
Yan Qiyue couldn't help but take a sip of the soup . The soup tasted absolutely fresh and savoury . Even though there were no additional seasonings . The freshness was good enough .
Inhaling the soup, he drank it all until there was not even a single drop remaining . Wiping his mouth and patting his belly, he asked Shao Qing curiously: “What kind of meat was it? It tasted really good, but I couldn't tell what flavour it was . ”
Slowly putting away the pot she replied: “The big piece is a frog, the small piece is a snake . Debone them, cut it up, and stew it . ”
“I thought that the taste was different… . ” Yan Qiyue stiffened . Suddenly realizing that the things Shao Qing said sounded like frogs and snakes, his stomach immediately began to feel sick . Should he puke… . . ?
