Yang Yun had long noticed Mingyue's presence, even before Xue Yi Ming . But he decided to pretend that he did not see her and concentrated with catching a few more fishes . It would not do him any good to appear too eager and scare her off .
Once he caught two more fishes, Yang Yun went out of the water and walked towards Mingyue . He watched her cleaned the fish with ease and spoke, "You're here . Where did Xue Yi Ming go to?"
Lin Mingyue paused and looked up when Yang Yun's presence next to her blocked the sunlight . For a few seconds, Mingyue could not get a clear look of his face .
Her heart skipped a beat . The scene felt a bit too familiar to her . Mingyue immediately lowered her gaze and saw two more fish in Yang Yun's hands . Both of the fish had stopped moving .
"He went away to get something to help us carry the fish," Mingyue said . She then resumed her work to clean the fish . "Why do you caught too much fish?"
Yang Yun crouched down next to Mingyue . "I saw that there are other campers . We could share some of them with others . "
Lin Mingyue glanced at Yang Yun and said . "You're too kind . "
"It won't do us any harm to be kind . It's just food . Besides, everyone on this hill will have to look after each other . If something happened while we're up here, we wouldn't be too embarra.s.sed to ask for their help . "
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Bonding over food . I like the way you think . "
"Don't dirty your hand and clothes . Let me clean the fish . " Yang Yun asked for the knife but was rejected .
"It's alright," Mingyue tightened her grip on the knife . "You should find something to help us carry these fish back to the camping site . I don't think that Brother Xue is going to return anytime soon . He has been gone for too long . "
Yang Yun nodded . He knew that Xue Yi Ming wanted to help him with Mingyue . Based on that guess, Yang Yun figured that Xue Yi Ming would not return at all . Yang Yun stood up and paused when he heard Mingyue sucked some air through her teeth . He saw the way Mingyue grip her forefinger tightly .
He grabbed her finger and saw blood oozed out . "You hurt yourself . Come on . "
"Where are we going . "
"To the water . We need to clean up your injury . "
Lin Mingyue stood up and allowed Yang Yun to drag her towards the river . She watched him shyly as he helped to clean her hands from both hers and fish blood .

"Stay here for a while . I'm going to find something for you . "
Mingyue watched him as he went towards some shrubs and picked some of its leaves . Yang Yun sniffed the leaves and went back to her .
"Although your wound is not deep, it would start to sting in a few hours . This herb is good to stop the pain," Yang Yun explained . He grabbed Mingyue's hand and pressed the leaf on her finger .
Immediately, Lin Mingyue could feel the cooling sensation on her finger . "Thank you . But how did you know this?" She looked at the leaves and knew that Yang Yun had picked the right herbs .
"Someone taught me," Yang Yun smiled .
Lin Mingyue swallowed as she thought of how dazzling Yang Yun smile was . It was then that she noticed that the two of them were too close together . She pulled her hand from him and lowered her gaze . "Right . You've mentioned that before . "
"Has your wound stopped bleeding?"
Lin Mingyue removed the herbs and showed Yang Yun her hands . "It has stopped bleeding . Don't worry too much . It's only a small cut . "
Yang Yun grabbed her hand again to inspect the wound . "You're a surgeon . You need to look after your hands . Don't get injured . "
Suddenly, the spot where Yang Yun touched felt as if it was burning . Lin Mingyue pulled her hand away and hid it behind her . She felt embarra.s.sed when Yang Yun gazed at her hand for too long . The way he looked at her hands, it was as if he was staring at something precious .
Noticing Mingyue's discomfort, Yang Yun stood up . "I'm going to find something to carry those fish . You should guard our lunch before any wild animal s.n.a.t.c.hed them away . "
Mingyue nodded, "Alright . "
Yang Yun took a few steps and paused . "Don't touch the fish . I will clean the other when we return . "
…
Xue Yi Ming was helping Li Ran to start a fire when Yang Yun returned with Mingyue . "What took you two so long?" he looked at Yang Yun and gave him a teasing smile .
"Well, someone has forgotten to bring us the container to carry these fish back," Yang Yun said . He lifted a makes.h.i.+ft bag made of banana leaves .
Xue Yi Ming gasped . "s.h.i.+t! I totally forgot about those fishes! Sorry!"
Yang Yun shook his head . He put down the bag of fishes and looked at the fire . "Well, at least you've started the fire . The fish are all cleaned . You can start grilling them for lunch . "
Lin Mingyue looked around their campsite and frowned when she could not find her sister . "Brother Xue, have you seen my sister?"
"She's in the tent," Xue Yi Ming pointed towards the girls' tent . "Lin Mingyue, you go in and take a rest as well . I'll call you out when the food is ready . "
"That would be inappropriate to leave you guys to cook the food while we rest . "
"What inappropriate? I'm just taking this chance for Yang Yun to show off his culinary skills . You don't know this, but I live with this guy for a while, and let me tell you this: he can cook . "
Lin Mingyue looked at Yang Yun and tilted her head sideways . "Really?"
"Of course!" Xue Yi Ming answered . "Don't you see me getting fatter? I'm telling you, Lin Mingyue, anyone who marries this guy would be lucky . If he's a woman, I will marry him too . "
Yang Yun gave Xue Yi Ming a sharp gaze . "Scram . I have no interest in a guy . "
