395 He Loves to Smile
As He Xun watched his wife, the little knot in his heart also dissipated a lot. What else could he do? He couldn’t afford to be angry with her. He sighed helplessly and stood up. He extended a hand to Chen Wei’er as a gesture for her to stand up.
“Let’s go and see if it’s cooked.”
Chen Wei’er looked at the hands that were reaching out to her. The other party’s fingers were long and slender. There was a slight callus on his palm. It was an indication that He Xun had never been a delicate young master.
Chen Wei’er was a little stunned, but she still extended her hand.
The man held her hand and pulled hard. Chen Wei’er ended up in his embrace.
He Xun hugged her and patted her back to comfort her. “It’s alright. I’ll wait for you to slowly remember.” The remark simultaneously comforted the two.
He Xun believed that Chen Wei’er would remember eventually. Even if she couldn’t, he would try his best to make her fall in love with him again. As He Xun thought of this, the frustration in his heart gradually subsided.
There was still a long way to go. Why was he in such a hurry to give her so much pressure? It was not her fault that she had lost her memory.
He Xun comforted himself and then lead Chen Wei’er toward the cave entrance.
Chen Wei’er looked at the two of them tightly holding hands, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She didn’t have any memories of them being inseparable. However, her body’s reaction told her that this kind of situation should have happened frequently between them. At the thought of this, Chen Wei’er finally calmed down a little.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the cave.
Chen Wei’er saw something black in the burning fire. Her eyes widened as she tilted her head and pointed at the black lump. “What is that thing?”
“This is our meal.” He Xun walked over and used a wooden stick to pull the black thing out of the fire.
“Is this the pheasant?” Chen Wei’er recalled that He Xun prepared the food. Why did it suddenly become so unappetizing?
There was also a faint fragrance…that actually came from this big black thing?!
Chen Wei’er was extremely conflicted. It smelled so good. What would it taste like? She licked the corner of her lips and watched He Xun pull the black thing out of the fire and beat it with a big wooden stick.
Just as Chen Wei’er was about to ask what was going on, she saw a thick layer of black ash falling down one by one. She went forward and wanted to pick up the black piece that had fallen, but she heard He Xun remind her. “Don’t touch it!”
Chen Wei’er’s fingers paused in mid-air. “What is this? Why can’t I touch it?”
“It’s hot,” He Xun answered.
After Chen Wei’er heard He Xun’s reply, she felt a little embarrassed. That was right. Could there be something wrong with her brain? She just watched He Xun pull the black thing from the fire. Why would she go forward and touch it? She immediately retracted her hand.
In the end, Chen Wei’er heard He Xun’s baffling chuckle!
Chen Wei’er was speechless. She might as well hide her hands!
However, He Xun seemed to be in a good mood. After knocking away the soil wrapped around the black thing, the green reed leaves inside were revealed.
Chen Wei’er was shocked. The fragrance emitted by it was even stronger! She subconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and watched helplessly as He Xun used the chopsticks made of reed stalks to pick up the outer layer of reed leaves.
Finally, the golden pheasant revealed its true colors.
“Try it first.” He Xun handed her the hard rod.
“Can I use my hands directly?” Chen Wei’er asked in embarrassment. If she didn’t tear up the whole pheasant and eat it, she would really be letting down the fragrant pheasant!
He Xun obviously didn’t expect Chen Wei’er to want to use her hands directly. He looked at her and said, “Go wash your hands then…”
In the end, he heard Chen Wei’er exclaim, “I just washed them!”
When Chen Wei’er was alone by the spring water, her hands had long been soaked clean!
He Xun smiled again. Chen Wei’er was a little stunned. She realized that He Xun was actually a person who loved to smile. Then, why hadn’t she seen him smile during the two years they were married?
In just one morning, Chen Wei’er felt that He Xun had laughed many times.
Seeing He Xun smile, Chen Wei’er also smiled shyly. Then, she reached out and tore off a piece of meat from the back of the pheasant.
He Xun said, “There are no seasonings here, but the pheasant is freshly killed. The meat will be fresher. With the fragrance of the reed leaves, it shouldn’t be too bad.” Being able to do this was already his limit.
Chen Wei’er put the piece of meat into her mouth and lightly chewed. Her mouth was filled with the juice from the meat!
Wild pheasants were chewy than domesticated chickens. Coupled with the fragrance of reeds and the sweetness of spring water, the meat had a unique taste!
