Chapter 406 Our Hearts Are Closer
Even though she couldn’t remember the first time they had eaten seafood together, Chen Wei’er found her present memories unforgettable. As the saying went, it was easier to share the burden than wealth.
As He Xun and Chen Wei’er were stranded in the wilderness, the food they ate was tremendously precious. Apart from not giving up on her, He Xun also allotted all the good things to Chen Wei’er.
He Xun was truly a good man. Chen Wei’er must have been blind in the past to disregard him!
Soon, the two of them finished the dozen crabs. Chen Wei’er couldn’t figure out the exact reason, but the crabs were especially meaty and delicious. Perhaps it was due to the clean and unpolluted spring water. Or maybe it could be attributed to the environment. Regardless of the cause, Chen Wei’er seemed to have tasted the most delicious crab in her life.
“Do you think this crab is delicious?” Chen Wei’er asked He Xun.
“It’s very delicious.”
For some reason, however, Chen Wei’er was a little dispirited.
“Is it better than the best seafood in the world?” She thought of what He Xun had said. They had gone to a high-end restaurant and eaten a lot of scrumptious food, but she had no memory of that.
“This is the most delicious crab I have ever eaten.” He Xun shook his head.
“Really?” Chen Wei’er was instantly delighted.
“Of course.” He Xun pinched his wife’s face. “What could be more delicious than the crabs dug by my wife?” Moreover, this was personally made by Chen Wei’er. This was the first time he had eaten something made by Chen Wei’er, and it meant a lot to him.
At once, Chen Wei’er felt her heart soften from being called ‘wife’ by He Xun. Her cheeks reddened. She then lowered her head and looked around. She was at a loss. Soon, her gaze landed on the reed leaves on the ground. She plucked a reed leaf and quickly weaved a ring. Then, without looking at He Xun, she directly pulled his hand and put the small ring made of reed leaves on He Xun’s finger.
Thereafter, Chen Wei’er looked even more flushed. “I think the atmosphere is just right. I’ll give you a gift. It’s a little simple. Don’t mind it.”
He Xun did not speak for a long time. He looked at the improvised ring on his finger. This was the second time Chen Wei’er had put a ring on him. The first time was their wedding. At that time, Chen Wei’er had no feelings for him, and she just perfunctorily put on the ring.
But this time, it was different.
Just a few hours ago, Chen Wei’er was still bothered by his closeness. Now, she had put the ring on her own initiative. This should reflect her current feelings, right?
Chen Wei’er was still looking for an excuse for her actions. “I just suddenly felt… You’ve already given me a blue diamond, so I should give you something…”
Before she could finish speaking, her chin was pinched. Then, He Xun lowered his head and kissed Chen Wei’er.
Her neck turned red. Even though it wasn’t her first kiss, Chen Wei’er somehow felt what it was like to have her first kiss.
Her heart raced, and the world fell silent.
He Xun’s kiss was gentle but passionate.
Chen Wei’er was stiff at first, but she slowly went limp and fell into his arms.
Gradually, because there had been no more firewood, the flames weakened, and the saccharine scent of the sweet potatoes became even stronger. However, none of them had the mood to care. They only released each other when the burning smell permeated.
Chen Wei’er was intensely blushing under the firelight. He Xun became even more tempted. He used the reed to pull the sweet potatoes out of the fire, then grabbed his wife’s head with the desire to continue.
Chen Wei’er quickly held his hand. “Eat the sweet potatoes first.”
“Didn’t you eat a lot of crabs?” He Xun was a little surprised.
Chen Wei’er felt embarrassed. “That bit of crab… It’s not enough to eat at all!”
What a joke! After soaking in the hot spring for so long today, Chen Wei’er felt that she was about to be exhausted. Of course, she had to eat more!
He Xun had no choice but to let go of her. He watched as his wife ran happily to the black sweet potatoes and poked them with her finger.
“Is it still hot?” He Xun sat on the reeds and looked at her with interest.
“It’s hot.” Chen Wei’er nodded. Not only was it hot, but her finger was also covered in grime.
“Don’t be in a hurry to eat. Eat it when it’s cold.” He Xun could not help but remind Chen Wei’er.
“I know. I’ll eat it when it’s cold!” Chen Wei’er snorted. She even picked up a reed leaf from the ground and fanned the sweet potatoes. After a while, she poked the sweet potatoes with her little finger and happily announced, “They’re cold!”
Then, like a little hamster, she picked up a sweet potato and merrily began to eat it.
