If they went to other caves, where would they find branches? He was shivering from the cold. It would be like killing him if he were to pick up more branches. How could he do that?
“Eh, there are some branches here. Can we start a fire?” Xinyan was feeling cold as well-Lin Yi had used his Qi to protect her, but she still felt the chill in this empty Valley.
“We’ll split it in half when we meet!” Zhaolong yelled as he ran over, panting. His heart was bleeding-he found the branch, after all, and he had to give Lin Yi half of it. He didn’t dare to refuse since Xinyan “found” it first, after all.
“Oh, then I’ll give you half.” Lin Yi said faintly. He could tell with one look that this branch was man-made-who else could it be but Zhaolong?
“Hehe …” Zhaolong didn’t stand on ceremony.”By the way, do you have a lighter? Why don’t we just use this fire? I’ll start a fire, and we can all warm up together without separating. How about it?”
“Oh, okay.” Lin Yi didn’t want to freeze Zhaolong to death in a situation like this. After all, boss Bai was very concerned about the harmony between his disciples, and Lin Yi respected him more. Boss Bai’s background wasn’t simple, either, and Lin Yi didn’t dare to disobey him.
“Then I won’t be polite!” Zhaolong was overjoyed. He took out a lighter from his pocket and crouched in front of the branch, ready to light it.
“You’re quite well-equipped, huh? You don’t smoke, but you carry a lighter with you? You prepared this long ago, right?” Lin Yi looked at Zhaolong, stunned.”He wanted to have a romantic cave night with Wang Xinyan, I didn’t expect to join.”
Zhaolong was a little embarrassed, but couldn’t deny it. He looked at Xinyan’s unhappy face, and thought that he’d gone for wool and came home shorn today. He wouldn’t have carried out this plan if he’d known.
However, something even more unfortunate was yet to come. Zhaolong’s face froze as he flicked the lighter. The lighter was soaked in water and it didn’t work!
“Aren’t you lighting the fire? What’s wrong?” Lin Yi looked at Zhaolong with a half-smile.
“Water …” Zhaolong said with a pale face.
“Since you can’t contribute, then there’s no other way. Don’t you enjoy this fire anymore.” Lin Yi said faintly.
“You … You have a way?” Zhaolong paused, looking at Lin Yi.”You have a lighter?”
“No, I didn ‘t,” Lin Yi said, shaking his head.
“If you don ‘t, why are you criticizing me?” “Can you fix the lighter for me?” Zhaolong said with a glare.
“You can fix it yourself.” Lin Yi threw out a fire element refinement fire, and the pile of branches caught on fire with a whoosh. The fire was strong.
Only then did Zhaolong remember that Lin Yi was an Alchemist-he could create fire, so he didn’t need a lighter at all. He thickened his skin and asked,”Since the heat from this fire is a waste if I don’t use it, why don’t you let me rub it?”
“Sure, but you’ll have to pick up the branches when they run out.” Lin Yi didn’t kill them all.
“Alright, let me dry my clothes first.” Zhaolong agreed readily. These were the branches that he and right Panhu had picked up, and he knew where to find them.
Zhaolong was shivering as he warmed himself up by the fire. Xinyan had already recovered-she wasn’t wet, just a little cold. She was fine.
“Are you hungry?” Lin Yi asked.
“I’m … I’m fine …” Xinyan still couldn’t let it go. She didn’t like Zhaolong, but she was afraid that he’d do something to Lin Yi when he was desperate.
“I’ll go and catch some fish. ” Lin Yi said as he stood up.
“Okay … I’ll sleep for a while then, I’m a little sleepy …” Xinyan found an excuse, not wanting to be alone with Zhaolong.
Zhaolong was speechless-he was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Yi was going to catch fish, but he didn’t know what to say when he heard that Xinyan was going to sleep. He couldn’t ask Xinyan to talk to him instead, could he?
After Lin Yi left, Xinyan closed her eyes and took a nap, leaving Zhaolong alone by the fire. He was drooling when he thought about the delicious grilled fish he was going to have! Although he had some chocolate and compressed biscuits in his backpack, how could they be as delicious as the grilled fish?
Lin Yi walked to the lakeside. Naturally formed lakes like this had some live fish. He walked carefully to the hole Zhaolong had smashed into, closed his eyes, and used the Jade’s senses to catch fish. He caught four live fish in no time and took out a blade from his shoe to cut open their stomachs and clean them before returning to the cave.
Lin Yi didn’t think Zhaolong would do anything to Xinyan, but he still wanted to be quick. He let out a breath of relief when he saw Xinyan still sleeping.
“You’re back?” Xinyan opened her eyes at the sound of footsteps, and was overjoyed to see Lin Yi.
“Yeah.” Lin Yi found a few branches and skewered the fish, roasting it on the fire.
Zhaolong didn’t know what to say to Xinyan, who’d been asleep for less than twenty minutes. It was obvious that she didn’t want to talk to him! He could clearly feel that Xinyan had been a lot colder to him ever since the cable car incident.
Xinyan had kept her distance from him before, but it wasn’t like now, where she didn’t even want to talk to him.
Soon, the fish was done. There wasn’t much seasoning, but it was still delicious. Zhaolong was drooling.”Can I eat it now?”
“It’s done, but you can’t eat it,” Lin Yi said as he handed a grilled fish to Xinyan.
“W-why?” Zhaolong’s outstretched hand froze.
“If you want to eat it, go get it yourself. Xinyan and I will each get two skewers, there’s no share for you.” Lin Yi said as he started munching on a stick.
Zhaolong really wanted to grab a bunch of them, but he didn’t dare to-he was afraid of getting beaten up. He forced a smile and made a face that looked worse than a crying face.”Alright …”
“He’s a bad person, but you don’t have to be so harsh … We’re classmates, after all. ” Xinyan didn’t want Lin Yi to piss off Zhaolong too much.
“You want to eat something and get it for free, how can there be such a cheap thing?” Lin Yi didn’t mind.
Zhaolong didn’t have Lin Yi’s strong senses, nor was he as agile as Lin Yi! (To be continued.)
