Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Liu Xiu, who was standing not far away, took in the whole scene. Listening to Jin Chen's gentle and smiling voice, and comparing it with her coldness towards him just now, he felt sour and angry in his heart, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"How can a refugee behave like this? Living in someone else's home, he's enjoying himself like the master..."

Liu Xiu did not try to lower his voice, but it was loud enough for several people nearby to hear.

Liu Pingan, who was beside him, pulled him up and said, "Okay, Xiu'er, stop talking and let's go home quickly."

Bu Changji had excellent hearing, and the sour words immediately floated into his ears.

There was a coldness in his eyes, but when he raised his head and looked at Jinchen, he looked gentle and harmless again.

Bu Changji took the initiative to reach out and gently grabbed Jinchen's wrist, which was stained with some sea salt grains. His voice was soft and obedient, just enough for Liu Xiu, who was not far away, to hear vaguely.

"Brother Jin, I...I can actually cook some simple meals."

"I feel bad for always eating and living with you for free. Let me cook for you from now on. Just think of it as... a small reward for living in your house, okay?"

He tilted his face slightly upwards, his eyes clear and filled with a hint of cautious pleading, which would soften anyone's heart.

When Jinchen heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked down at Bu Changji's hand, and glanced at Liu Xiu's face which had become even uglier not far away. His heart was as clear as a mirror.

He nodded readily, saying cheerfully, "Okay, I'll try your cooking, too."

Bu Changji got the consent and lowered his eyelashes to hide the light in his eyes.

As Bu Changji followed Jinchen home, he inevitably attracted the fishermen's good-natured laughter and teasing looks.

Those rough men looked at Jinchen's care and kindness towards the beautiful refugee, and saw his cheerful look at the moment, some of them couldn't help but make jokes loudly.

"Chenzi, you're amazing! You brought back so many goodies from the sea. Did you even bring back your wife?"

"Exactly. Look at how protective he is of her. If you really want to marry her, she'll belong to us at Bailangao in the future, haha!"

"When will you invite us to the wedding?"

These jokes mixed in the sea breeze and went straight into Bu Changji's ears.

A chill flashed across his eyes, and he snorted in his heart, thinking that a bunch of fools who didn't know how to live or die dared to make fun of him.

He was left as a pirate leader in Bailangao without even thinking about how many lives he would have.

If I didn't need to hide my identity right now, I would definitely let them know how powerful I am...

Bu Changji was gnashing his teeth secretly, but Jinchen, who was walking beside him, seemed to have noticed something.

Jinchen happened to lower his head slightly, leaned close to his ear, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "How is it?"

Bu Changji's heart skipped a beat, and the nerves in his head tightened.

What's up.

Could it be that this honest and straightforward man really listened to those nonsense words? Did he really want him to be his wife?

Bu Changji's ears instantly turned red, and he blurted out, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, "No..."

Jinchen looked at the blush spreading from his ears to his neck and couldn't help laughing out loud, his tone full of mischief.

"I'm asking you, what do you think of cooking these freshly caught sea cucumbers and fish and shrimp tonight? What are you thinking about, huh?"

He deliberately dragged out the last word in a joking manner.

Bu Changji: “…” So this is what you are asking.

His cheeks were burning hot and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Bu Changji patted his burning cheeks, quickly lowered his head, and stared at the sand on the ground, "Oh, this... is okay."

He didn't dare to look up at all, so he missed the smile that was about to overflow from Jinchen's eyes.

-

In the evening, Bu Changji stood in front of the stove.

He originally just wanted to find an excuse to shut Liu Xiu up and didn't have high expectations.

After all, he was a pirate leader. On weekdays, he either ate the rough meals prepared by the cooks on the ship or had them in restaurants on the shore. He cooked by himself very few times.

But maybe it was talent, or maybe he was just trying extra hard not to appear timid in front of Jinchen.

He was actually quite skilled in handling those fresh ingredients.

The plump sea cucumber was neatly cut open, the internal organs removed, and the mucus on the surface was rubbed off with coarse salt, and then rinsed with clean water to retain the perfect salty and fresh taste.

Clean the orchid crab, chop it into pieces, and stir-fry it with ginger slices and garlic cloves. The crab shell will soon turn red and emit an attractive burnt aroma.

He blanched the tender kelp sprouts that Jinchen brought back in the oil in the pot and mixed them with simple soy sauce and vinegar.

Finally, reheat the rice porridge left over from the day and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Although they are all simple fishing methods, the heat is well controlled, and when they are served on the table, they are very delicious.

The two of them sat down around the small table and ate quietly.

The sea cucumber is chewy, the crab meat is sweet, the kelp shreds are refreshing, and the simple porridge is full of rice aroma.

After swimming in the sea for a whole day, Jinchen was indeed hungry and ate a lot.

As Jinchen was eating, his eyes casually swept around the room and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Bu Changji was peeling crab legs with his head down. He was keenly aware of his subtle expression and his heart skipped a beat. He followed Jinchen's gaze and quickly scanned the room.

Oh no, he went out to meet Hai San during the day, and was busy cooking when he came back. It was obvious that he had not been home all day and had gone to some place he shouldn't have been.

His heart beat faster, but his expression remained calm. He picked up the porridge spoon and diligently added another full spoonful of porridge to Jinchen's almost empty bowl.

"Brother Jin, you've worked hard today. Eat more."

Jinchen withdrew his gaze and fixed it on his face. With a half-smile on his face, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of kelp, chewed it slowly, and then asked casually, "You must be bored at home today. Where did you go for a walk?"

My wife’s identity as the prince is in danger.

Bu Changji: "..."

His mind raced, and his fingertips gripping the spoon tightened slightly.

To be honest it is absolutely impossible.

Bu Changji lowered his eyelashes to brew his emotions. When he raised his head again, his eyes were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth were turned down in grievance, with a hint of timidity.

"I just walked around the house... looked at the sea for a while. You weren't here... I didn't know anyone, and I was scared, so I didn't dare go far..."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and his head drooped.

Jinchen listened to his heartfelt words, and saw Bu Changji's awkward look as he tried hard to hold back his tears but couldn't, so he suddenly put down his chopsticks.

He reached out his hand and lifted Bu Changji's drooping cheek.

Bu Changji's eyelashes trembled violently, and he was forced to raise his face and look into Jinchen's black eyes.

His handsome face looked somewhat... gentle under the soft light of the oil lamp.

Bu Changji's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he forgot to struggle and forgot to continue pretending to be aggrieved. He just stared at him blankly.

Jinchen wiped the corner of his lips with his fingertips, wiping off the rice grains. Looking at Bu Changji's dazed look, the smile in his eyes deepened.

"If you can't cry, don't force yourself to cry. It makes me tired just looking at you." He paused, gently stroked her smooth cheeks with his fingertips, and rubbed the top of her head out of habit.

"I don't blame you. This valley is so small. You can go wherever you want to relax. Just be careful."

Oh, that's not right.

"And remember to come back for dinner."

Bu Changji lowered his head when he was touched, and his heart moved inexplicably. It seemed that his cheek still retained the rough and warm touch.
