You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 303 I Will Always Be Here For You

Bai Rong refused to answer Gu Mingchen’s question because he had taken advantage of her.

She diverted his attention and said, “Let’s get everything sorted out as soon as possible. Otherwise, we’re going to be in huge trouble if it rains tonight.”

He nodded and lost himself in a train of thoughts. “It’s great to have a downpour because we’re running out of water. On top of that, we can take this opportunity and take a short break. Haven’t you been complaining about being tired lately?”

Bai Rong’s face flushed embarrassedly because she brought it up when Gu Mingchen insisted on carrying on with the intimate session they had some time ago.

She cleared her throat and talked about something else to divert his attention. “You need to stop messing with me and finish your meal. Since you’re dealing with a lot of heavy-duty tasks, you’re going to turn into a skinny man if you don’t have enough food. How are you supposed to be a heavyweight figure in my life if you’re skinny?”

He caressed her nose in return and decided to stop teasing her because she had always been a timid woman.

After they finished their meal, Bai Rong cleaned up the mess, whereas Gu Mingchen started cutting the bamboos into two equivalent parts. Once the bamboos were ready, he started digging a hole.

It took him some time to reach the soil because they were on the beach. He thrust the bamboo into the ground, burying it up with soil to stabilize it before covering it up with sand again. He needed to set up another parallel one to set up a clothesline to hang their stuff.

After Bai Rong returned with the cleansed bowls, she tried to be helpful and started digging into the ground that was several feet away from Gu Mingchen. She mimicked him and created a hole in the ground.

By the time he was done with the first bamboo, he took over her task and said, “I want you to weave the ropes and leave this to me. We need the ropes to be as sturdy as possible.”

“Okay.” Bai Rong took shelter under the parasol and started weaving the ropes as instructed. After she gulped down a mouthful of drink, she noticed they only had another four bottles of mineral waters left.

After Gu Mingchen had the foundation of the shack ready, he approached Bai Rong and took over the bottle of water from her, gulping the entire bottle down.

“I think we’re running out of drinking water,” she reminded him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get us more immediately.” Gu Mingchen brought the simple filtration device he had put together using the mineral bottle while they were on the sea. After inserting a bamboo sheet, he placed the device a few inches away from the fire.
