You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 297 Good To Have Him

“Oh right, you haven’t had any sleep since last night. You should rest for a while. I’ll stay up,” Bai Rong sat up and said to Gu Mingchen.

“You didn’t sleep as well. I can go on without sleep for a few days. You should rest first,” Gu Mingchen replied gently.

“I’ve been drifting in and out of consciousness all this while so you probably need it more than I do. I want to enjoy the sea breeze and the clear sky for a while more,” Bai Rong patted her thighs.

Gu Mingchen stopped insisting as he smiled and looked at the woman lovingly. Putting one hand behind his head, he lay next to her and not on her thighs as he was afraid that he would be too heavy for her.

As Bai Rong admired his manly features, she noticed that Gu Mingchen slept with his lips tightly pursed and looked just like an elegant prince.

At that moment, the woman felt that God was quite kind to her. Even though her life might be shortened and she had experienced many hardships, she was gifted with such a wonderful man.

Gu Mingchen was extremely exhausted. In fact, he had not slept at all after he got separated from Bai Rong. As such, he fell asleep in no time.

Bai Rong gazed at the clear sky and enjoyed that moment of serendipity. After some time, she started feeling sleepy and closed her eyes.

After a while, the woman was awoken by the aroma of grilled fish.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Gu Mingchen had already grilled dozens of fish.

“So sorry, I fell asleep too,” Bai Rong apologized.

“It’s OK. We didn’t fall off the raft.” Gu Mingchen smiled as he passed the pot to her. “Taste it.”

Bai Rong took a sniff of the fish. It was apparent that the pungent fishy stench was no longer there and replaced by the delicious smell of grilled fish.

She pinched a bit of fish meat and put it into her mouth. “Mmm, it’s so yummy! It tastes very fresh.”

“Seawater is naturally salty and helps to preserve the freshness of the fish. It also contributes to the high mineral content in fish. You should eat more,” Gu Mingchen said as he continued grilling fishes.

As he did not have a spatula, he used the knife to flip the fish.

Bai Rong remained quietly by his side and helped to remove the fish bones.

Gu Mingchen finished grilling half of the fishes he caught, the woman had
