You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 452 Married Life

The jungle was more enigmatic and dangerous than Bai Rong thought. The danger lay not in the large animals, but in the smaller creatures or insects that were inconspicuous, like spider and snakes. They might lose their lives if they were not careful enough.

Therefore, the two kept a stick in their hands to clear the path ahead of them. The weather in the jungle was more humid, and the ground was slippery.

Not wanting to be his burden, Bai Rong tried her very best to stay close to Gu Mingchen. Still, she could tell that he was more cautious than ever, slowing down just to wait for her.

“It’s a pity that there are no bamboo shoots in this season. Otherwise, it’s surely appetizing.” Bai Rong sighed. “Yeah. But there’re Matsutake mushrooms now,” Gu Mingchen explained.

Stopping in her tracks, she glanced up and saw the dense branches overhead. Fungi often thrived in this kind of environment. She tapped Gu Mingchen’s back. “Look, are those pomelos?”

He lifted his head and looked up. “Yes, that looks like it. Hold on, I’ll get it. Watch out for any snake on the ground and spider above your head.” Gu Mingchen reminded her while removing his belt. Within a few seconds, he already climbed up the tree.

The corner of Bai Rong’s lips quirked up as she watched him pluck the pomelo. His posture is really dashing. “Be careful, Rong.” He dropped the pomelo, and she quickly dodged it.

In the end, the man picked only three pomelos, as they couldn’t carry more with them. Bai Rong took one, cut it open, and tasted it. “Not bad. It’s sweet and sour too.”

She peeled the fruits and kept the flesh only because it would be lighter this way. “Won’t they get spoiled quickly this way?” he asked.

“No. I have honey and sugar on the yacht. We can preserve it to make marmalade or tea. That’ll taste even better.” Bai Rong raised her head and saw numerous pomelos hanging from the trees. “Nature is amazing.”

“I’ve found many chestnut trees yesterday. Do you want to eat chestnuts? We can pick some on the way home,” Gu Mingchen said blandly.

Having stayed in the jungle for a long time before, the man had experienced both the wonders and the ruthlessness of nature.

On the other hand, Bai Rong had only been to the jungle when she was with him. Her last visit was an eye-opening adventure for her. “That’s great! Chestnuts are nutritional. We can either boil, fry or roast them.”

two continued walking hand in hand for another half an hour. Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks abruptly. Then,
