You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 301 Afraid I Would Eat You

She stuttered, “Erm… e-everything in moderation. Too much of a-a good thing will have negative repercussions as well…”

He chuckled playfully. “Why the stutter? Afraid I’d eat you up?”

Bai Rong had been drawing circles on the sand as a distraction. Yet it did nothing to calm her racing heart. She needed to escape. “Er… I’m turning in for the night. Nights.”

Seeing her attempt to flee, it made him laugh. “Where are you going?”

She chose not to respond.

He added, “Our clothes are still wet. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep with it.”

He’s right. She could not think of a rebuttal.

Seeing her conflicted expression, he felt like teasing her further. “I mean, we’ve already seen each other naked before.” Gu Mingchen was clearly in a good mood.

This made her feel even more awkward. “Fine. I’ll make some new clothing and sheets with trees and vines tomorrow.”

Gu Mingchen stopped his teasing. The next moment, he lay flat on the sand. “Look! The sky is full of stars. I remembered back when I was a child, I loved looking at them. But, you can’t really see them anymore now.”

Changing the topic worked. Bai Rong was no longer apprehensive. Instead, she joined him. “Due to industrial pollution, our cities are filled with smog. I guess that’s why uninhabited places like these are considered heaven.”

Gu Mingchen cradled her. His voice earnest. “Promise me. If we are rescued, we’ll never leave each other.”

Her silence made him uneasy, and he turned towards her.

“Alright…” Bai Rong finally uttered.
