C7 Fish

The next morning, an unexpected person came to find Wei Shuyu.

If she hadn't met them the last two times, Wei Shuyu would never have believed that the person in front of her, dressed in a royal blue robe and with a gold-plated crown on his head, with an extraordinary handsome face and bright eyes, was the person who was bullied by a few kids, Big Brother Jiang Family!

However, as soon as he spoke, he revealed his true colors, "Wife, I'm here to play with you." He was clearly a twenty-something year old adult, but he did not seem out of place. He gave off the feeling of a high-spirited young man.

"What did you call me? Who allowed you to call me wife! " Wei Shuyu frowned.

"Mother said that elder sister goddess is my fiancée, and my wife is my daughter-in-law."

"You're not allowed to call me wife. If you continue, I won't accompany you out to play." Wei Shuyu raised her eyebrows intentionally in a mean manner.

"Wife …"

When Wei Shuyu stared at him, Jiang Rann immediately shrunk his neck, feeling wronged.

Wei Shuyu thought for a moment. "From now on, you can only call me sister!" She never planned to marry him to begin with, and now that she had been delayed for three months, how could she let Jiang Rann keep on calling her his wife?

"Oh …" Jiang Rann replied in shock.

Jiang Rann walked like the wind and water, dragging a bunch of unknown flowers from the roadside and passing them to Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time she received flowers from someone else. Her mood also became a lot better, slightly warming up. Although it was just a wild flower, it was still quite interesting.

Looking at the direction they were heading towards, Wei Shuyu was slightly puzzled. "Where are we going?" Why does it feel like he was walking towards the water's edge.

Jiang Rann said excitedly, "Let's go catch some fish."

"Catch fish?" Wei Shuyu frowned as she recalled how the other party ran into her house with a fish in his hand, looking like a drowned chicken. She had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, when he could see the water, the other party seemed to want to jump into the water out of joy. Luckily, Wei Shuyu reacted quickly and stopped him. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and immediately felt more tired looking at Jiang Rann than looking at a child.

After persuading him to stop, he instructed him to gather wild fruits. Wei Shuyu walked for a while and bought six fresh fish for thirty cents with a fisherman. He found a pretty scenic spot by the river and picked up some dried branches, waiting for Jiang Rann to come back to cook the fish for him.

With the breeze blowing and the lush vegetation on both sides of the river, Wei Shuyu had been busy and nervous ever since she arrived in ancient times.

The sound of approaching footsteps came from behind. Wei Shuyu turned around and saw Jiang Rann running towards her with a bunch of fruits in his pocket.

"The fruit is sour and not tasty." Jiang Rann frowned, as if he remembered the taste just now. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

"It's okay, I didn't ask you to find the fruits for us to eat." Wei Shuyu smiled and carried the fish to the river to deal with it. He washed the wild fruits and stuffed some of them into small pieces into the belly of the fish. The others mashed the fish until it was glued to the ground and left to the side to be marinated.

Wei Shuyu smiled as she looked at Jiang Rann, who was squatting beside her and staring eagerly at her. With a rare gentle tone, she comforted him, "Wait a moment, I'll roast some fish for you to eat in a while."

They had not brought any seasonings with them when they went out today. Fortunately, they could use wild fruits to remove the bad ones. The grilled fish tasted like fruit, and the mashed fruit on the outside cut off the smell of smoke. After handing the first fish to Jiang Rann, the latter didn't mind the heat. After taking a bite, his eyes immediately lit up. "Delicious!" Jiang Rann complimented and then, regardless of anything else, he started to eat.

"Slow down, don't get stuck." Looking at the way the other party was eating, Wei Shuyu was also a little hungry, so she quickly roasted the second fish.

"Yi, what a fragrant grilled fish. Fortune, go and find them. If you find them, bring me a few to taste." An arrogant voice suddenly sounded.

The two of them were sitting behind a big rock. Jiang Rann raised his head after hearing the sound and looked at Wei Shuyu, "Sis, are they here to steal our fish?"

"Shh, lower your voice." Wei Shuyu quickly gave a signal.

"Oh. Elder sister, are they here to steal our fish? " Jiang Rann lowered his voice and asked again.

"…" Wei Shuyu helplessly held her forehead.

Jiang Rann looked at her innocently.

The footsteps gradually progressed.

Both of them looked up when they heard the sound and saw a servant looking in their direction. When he saw the fish in their hands, he slightly raised his chin and looked at them with disdain. He ordered Wei Shuyu, "You, give the fish in your hands to me, our young master wants to eat it."

Before Wei Shuyu could react, Jiang Rann, who was eating fish beside her, suddenly jumped up and blocked her behind him. He glared at her fiercely, as if he would turn into a ferocious beast in the next second and tear apart any outsiders that dared to invade her territory.

The manservant was frightened by the other party's demeanor and abruptly took a few steps back. However, when he clearly saw the situation, he relaxed. His expression was even more contemptuous. He was just a fool protecting his food, yet he actually scared him.

The servant immediately raised his eyebrows. "Our young master is the son of the county magistrate. It's your honor to eat your fish. Don't not know what's good for you!"

Jiang Rann remained unmoved as he stood firmly in front of Wei Shuyu, preventing her from getting any closer.

Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Wei Shuyu suddenly felt a sense of security. She didn't expect that this person who could even steal her belt would actually choose to protect her when faced with so many adults.

She patted Jiang Rann's shoulder, and when he turned to look at her, Wei Shuyu gave him a comforting smile and pulled him behind her.

"I can give you the fish, but with so many of you, do you think one fish is enough?" Wei Shuyu took a look at the clothes of the few people not far away. The leader of the three was dressed extravagantly. The remaining people should be of the entourage category. Wei Shuyu analyzed them calmly.

"This …" After the other party's reminder, the attendant seemed to have thought of this and was immediately troubled. Although the young master wanted him to get a taste of the fish, but the young master's friends couldn't just wait and see, could the three of them split the fish?

Wei Shuyu glanced at the manservant and suggested with a smile, "Judging from your bearing, you must be either rich or rich. You don't need more than a few taels of silver. How about I roast a few more pieces of fish for you?"

Seeing that the young master knew what he was doing, the servant thought for a moment, then ran back to ask his young master, then came back and said to Wei Shuyu, "We'll do as you say. Even if it's just a piece of paper, it's not worth twenty pieces of paper and looks like my young master is being stingy. My young master said that if your fish tastes good, I'll give you one tael of silver. You have a few fish, and we've got them all. Hurry up and finish roasting and send it over to our Young Master. "

Rich indeed, Wei Shuyu thought. Wei Shuyu patted Jiang Rann's hand to comfort him, then lowered her head and started to roast the fish.

The group took the grilled fish and left. Wei Shuyu was in a good mood as she held the 5 taels of silver that she got unexpectedly. She looked at Jiang Rann who was depressed and helplessly smiled: "What's wrong, you're still unhappy?" Didn't you eat grilled fish? "

Jiang Rann looked at the fish in his hand and handed it over to Wei Shuyu. "You eat!"

Wei Shuyu was taken aback. She looked at the fish in front of her and asked curiously, "Don't you like to eat?" Eat it. "

Jiang Rann's face turned red from holding his breath for a long time. He didn't even take his hand back and instead handed it over to Wei Shuyu. He said stubbornly, "No …" Not... Eat it! "

Wei Shuyu took the half of the roasted fish that was almost on her face. Looking at Jiang Rann's face with a bright smile again, she finally understood something.

She felt warm in her heart. She had always thought that Jiang Rann was unhappy because the fish had been robbed. She didn't expect that Jiang Rann would be like this because she didn't eat it, and even gave her her the fish.

"I'm glad you can eat it." As she ate the cold grilled fish, Wei Shuyu had a complicated feeling. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, "When the time comes, we can come out together again. When the ingredients are ready, I'll make you a barbecue. It's even better than grilled fish!"

Jiang Rann suddenly looked forward to it and reminded her on the way back.
