After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Jiang Yan raised his head, a trace of guilt still in his eyes, and said, "From now on... I probably won't have much time to spend with you in the future!"

In fact, Shen Xiaoxia didn't care much about this. She knew that these situations were only temporary and there was nothing she could say. She could only comfort him, "It's okay, I'm happy every day!"

The two smiled at each other, and the sadness of parting that had been in the air seemed to have faded a lot!

Afterwards, the two of them began to collect firewood and chop branches tacitly, occasionally exchanging a few words about which branches in the mountains are easier to burn and which trees grow more lush.

Shen Xiaoxia pointed at a tree stump and asked Jiang Yan, "Jiang Yan, do you think this one is more fire-resistant?"

He looked in the direction she pointed and said, "It's indeed burn-resistant, but I'm afraid you can't cut this, right?"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled proudly. Did you underestimate her?

"Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"

Not wanting to dampen Shen Xiaoxia's enthusiasm, Jiang Yan agreed with her, "Yes, you can definitely do it!"

Shen Xiaoxia glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "I think your tone is too perfunctory!"

Looking at Shen Xiaoxia with her hands on her hips, Jiang Yan found her a little cute and couldn't help but teasing her a few more times!

The two of them chatted and laughed as they shuttled through the mountains and forests!

Shen Xiaoxia was concentrating on looking for suitable branches, while Jiang Yan was helping to sort and stack them. The sunlight shone on them through the gaps between the leaves, outlining a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Near noon, the warm sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a unique fresh scent between the mountains and forests.

Shen Xiaoxia stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and gently brushed her wind-blown hair with her hand. She said, "Is it almost noon? Time flies. Should we go back and prepare lunch?"

Jiang Yan stood aside, with a mysterious smile on his face and a sly glint in his eyes. He said with a smile, "Xia Xia, how about we eat lunch on the mountain? How about that?"

When Shen Xiaoxia heard this, she was slightly startled. She opened her mouth slightly and let out a soft "ah". She looked around and asked in confusion, "What are you eating?"

In this remote place, are you eating air?

Jiang Yan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a row of neat white teeth, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Come on, follow me, I'll take you somewhere!"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't ask any more questions. She followed Jiang Yan closely with a heart full of curiosity and confusion.

Jiang Yan took Shen Xiaoxia along a winding, rarely traveled path. Along the way, Jiang Yan shuttled through the mountains and forests with familiarity. After turning several turns, they finally arrived at a relatively open place near the foot of the mountain.

Not far away, there are several tall and straight trees surrounding it, like a natural shelter!

Jiang Yan walked quickly to a big tree, bent down, pushed aside the bushes and grass, and carefully took out the things he had hidden in the morning!

Shen Xiaoxia's attention was instantly drawn to him. When she saw what Jiang Yan was holding, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise. Then she couldn't help but exclaimed, "When did you hunt?"

Jiang Yan was holding two plump pheasants in his hands. The pheasants' feathers were shining in the sunlight, and it was obvious that they were freshly caught not long ago!

Jiang Yan's eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was bright and clear, "Good morning!"

He got up in the morning when it was just dawn.

I wandered around the mountains all morning, secretly planning to hunt something.

If we hunt some game, Shen Xiaoxia and I will roast it on the mountain at noon. If not, then forget it!

Unexpectedly, his luck was pretty good today. Not only did he successfully hunt two pheasants, he also accidentally discovered a nest of pheasant eggs!

Shen Xiaoxia finally reacted, "Didn't you sleep a little longer this morning?"

Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Yan's eyes showed a hint of tenderness. He didn't say that he woke up early specifically to prepare a surprise for her. He just smiled and explained, "My biological clock has always been like this. I wake up very early in the morning. I'm used to it. Even if I really want to sleep, I can't fall asleep!"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't expose him, but the smile between her eyebrows became more obvious. She turned and asked, "Did you bring any seasonings? You can't just grill it like this, right?"

Jiang Yan raised his lips, revealing a confident look. He bent down again and pulled out a small cloth bag from the bushes beside him. He shook it and said, "Just in case, I've prepared a bag!"

Looking at the cloth bag in Jiang Yan's hand, Shen Xiaoxia didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. There was a bright smile in her eyes, smart and cheerful. She said excitedly, "Then shall we have roast chicken for lunch?"

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of doting, "Wait here for me, I'll go clean these two chickens first!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded obediently, found a clean stone to sit down, and looked at Jiang Yan's back as he walked towards the river at the foot of the mountain carrying the chicken. A warm feeling surged in her heart!

The sunlight gently shone on her shoulders, and her eyes followed Jiang Yan's back until he disappeared behind the bushes.

She raised her head slightly, looking at the jewel-blue sky with white clouds floating in it, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

I recalled every little detail of my acquaintance with Jiang Yan, the accidental eye contact, the warm conversations, and the days we traveled and explored the mountains and forests together!

Although they have known each other for quite some time, when you think about it carefully, the time they have actually spent together is not that much. However, Shen Xiaoxia remembers all the time she spent with Jiang Yan!

After a while, Jiang Yan's figure appeared in her sight again.

He walked back quickly, holding a processed pheasant in each hand.

When he approached, Shen Xiaoxia took a look and saw that the two pheasants had been cleaned up, their skin gleaming with freshness. "Everything is done. Shall we start the fire?"

Shen Xiaoxia quickly stood up and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll go get some dry firewood!"

As she spoke, she walked quickly to a place not far away, and soon brought back a large bundle of dry branches and a lot of dead leaves to use for starting a fire!

During the time that Shen Xiaoxia went to collect firewood, Jiang Yan had already skillfully built a simple stove with stones and branches.

After Shen Xiaoxia came back, he took the firewood from her hand and started to make a fire. After the dry leaves were ignited, he carefully put the dry firewood on one by one. The fire gradually became stronger, and the red flames jumped happily, reflecting the faces of the two people!

He walked forward, squatted down, and together with Jiang Yan, roasted the skewered pheasant on the fire!

As the temperature rises, the pheasant's skin gradually becomes golden and crispy, and the fat sizzles out, emitting an enticing aroma.
