Li Chen’s words rendered Zhao Yu and Wang Qi speechless. The two of them fell silent.

“This is a fish I caught. One of you didn’t help, and the other slapped me. Yet, you still want to enjoy it?”

The two of them remained silent. Li Chen placed the fish in his mouth and took a bite.

The delicious fish meat and the sizzling heat made Li Chen eat it with hissing sounds. Looking at the snow-white fish meat, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu swallowed and picked up the coconut.

Just as the two of them lowered their heads in desolation, not knowing what to do.

“Here!”

The two of them looked up and saw two roasted fish in front of them. Li Chen gave them two fish.

“This is? For us?”

Wang Qi’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe that there would be fish to eat. After she rubbed her eyes excitedly and confirmed that this was reality, she took the roasted fish.

“Remember, you have to pay for the two fish. Don’t forget!” Li Chen said casually as he sat by the fire and continued to eat the roasted fish.

“Alright!” Wang Qi spoke first and interrupted Zhao Yu.

Li Chen’s sudden kindness made the two of them feel flattered. They quickly went to the fire and started to roast fish.

“It’s not too much to be a good person until the end, right?” Zhao Yu’s originally cold words now had a more joking tone. Her attitude also improved a little.

“Let’s borrow it. Since we have already borrowed the fish, we should also borrow the fire.”

Li Chen’s actions made the two of them uncertain. Their hearts began to change bit by bit, and their wrong opinion of Li Chen also changed.

Li Chen took the opportunity to size up the two people in front of him. Zhao Yu was a few years older than him, but there was no sign of aging. She was dressed very professionally and exuded the charm unique to working women. As for Wang Qi, she had just graduated. Even now, she was very good-looking. As expected of the school belle at that time.

“Ah, it’s burnt!” Wang Qi shouted.

Li Chen looked at the fish in Wang Qi’s hand. It turned out that it had been burnt. Though, it made sense. Someone like her would definitely be able to do whatever she wanted. How could she personally go to the kitchen? It was normal for the fish to be burnt.

Shifting his attention to Zhao Yu, she was roasting relatively smoothly. It was obvious that she had been cooking delicious food at home.

As for Li Chen, he was almost done eating. Only bones were left of the fish.

Wang Qi watched as Li Chen ate with relish. A bold thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

“Um, can you help me again?” Wang Qi said carefully.

“What are you doing? What else do you want? Aren’t you afraid that I will eat you until I’m full?” Li Chen said deliberately.

“Hehe, you’re a good person. Can you help me roast it? I don’t know how,” Wang Qi said.

Li Chen realized what Wang Qi was saying. She actually wanted him to help roast fish.

“Beg me, show me your cuteness,” Li Chen ordered.

“Please help me. I really don’t know how to roast. Help me.” Wang Qi actually wheedled.

Li Chen realized that Wang Qi had actually done as he was told. At this point, he could not deny her, so he took the fish into his hand.

Zhao Yu felt that her fish was almost done, so she carefully picked up a small piece and placed it in her mouth. Immediately after, she spat it out. It was still not fully cooked.

The strong fishy smell immediately made her vomit again. Zhao Yu knew that she would have to try it later to confirm if it was cooked, but the more anxious she was, the worse it became. It had been so long, but it still hadn’t been completely roasted.

“I’ll do it,” said Li Chen softly.

Perhaps because she realized that she really could not handle it, Zhao Yu also handed the fish in her hand to Li Chen.

Li Chen took the fish from their hands and placed it on the fire to roast. The fish that was about to be wasted emitted a fragrance again in Li Chen’s hand.

After a while, it was finally done. Then he handed the fish to the two of them.

“Be careful of the heat. Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you over it,” Li Chen hurriedly instructed.

The two of them could not care less. They took the roasted fish and began to eat it in big mouthfuls. After all, they had not eaten for a day.

“I didn’t expect you to know how to roast fish,” Zhao Yu said after eating.

“There are a lot of things you don’t know and you can’t randomly make up assumptions.” Li Chen’s words were meaningful and deeply struck Zhao Yu’s heart.

“Could it be that I really wronged him? But that day, he really touched Wang Qi and lay in her arms. Could there be another reason?”

After repeating what had happened today, Zhao Yu thought silently in her heart.

“Um, Sister Yu, I…”

Wang Qi’s words interrupted Zhao Yu’s thoughts. It turned out that Wang Qi wanted to go to the toilet.

“Let’s go. It’s so late. I’ll go with you.”

The two of them got up and walked towards the darkness of the forest. It was already night, so the forest at this time was very dark.

“Are you going to run away after eating?” Li Chen hurriedly asked.

“Come on, we’re not as bad as you. We’re just going to the toilet,” Zhao Yu said.

“It’s getting dark. Take a torch and go.” Li Chen handed over a lit wooden stick. In this kind of situation, a light source could also add some sense of security.

The two of them walked for a long time before they finally arrived at a relatively safe place.

“Sister Yu, what do you think of Li Chen? How do you know him?” Wang Qi asked.

“Li Chen? You don’t know yet, right? He’s an intern in our company. His results were the best.” Zhao Yu began to introduce her relationship with Li Chen to Wang Qi.

“Then, Sister Yu, do you think he’s a bad person? I think we’ve wronged him a little. He doesn’t seem to be that bad.”

Wang Qi’s words poked at Zhao Yu’s thoughts. Zhao Yu fell silent.

“Maybe. He doesn’t seem that bad,” Zhao Yu muttered to herself after a long silence.

“That’s right. If he was bad, he might have done something long ago. Moreover, he has a knife in his hand.”

Zhao Yu was also thinking about the truth of the matter in her heart, but before the truth was discovered, she could not jump to conclusions. Now that Li Chen had not done anything bad, she could not guarantee that he would not do anything bad in the future.

“Ah! Help!”

“Sister Yu, save me!”

Wang Qi’s shouts were especially ear-piercing in the silent night.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

When Zhao Yu heard Wang Qi’s shout, she quickly ran over. At this moment, she was only a slope away from Wang Qi, as Zhao Yu was originally waiting for her on the slope.

After Zhao Yu came down, she realized that there was a problem. In the darkness, a few pairs of eyes flickered. It seemed that they had encountered danger.

“Hurry and go up!” Zhao Yu shouted.

However, Wang Qi was still wearing the uniform of a flight attendant. She could not move her legs freely, which made it very difficult for her to walk up. In a panic, Wang Qi fell to the ground.

“Help, help!” At the same time, a few shouts came from the darkness.

There were others!
