if you don't want to. Otherwise, get out of here!" She sounded rather domineering now.A glint flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes as he uttered softly, "Foolish girl, what are you scheming about"My goodness! T...Under Rong Ling's lead, Lin Meng took the most basic tools provided by the hunting ground and entered the forest. (..tw) Then, under Rong Ling's guidance, she giggled and made a few traps, did some camouflage, and waited for prey to come. Because there was still plenty of time, she decided to catch live ones first; if she couldn't catch any, she would let this powerful man around her hunt. He was so capable that it was estimated that he could definitely shoot a live one back.
In the blink of an eye, all that work was done. The final results were quite satisfactory; out of the four traps set, two live chickens had been successfully caught. The one trapped in the net was easy to handle, but the other, caught in the pit, was more difficult. This was because the chickens here were often hunted and had become cunning and strong. So the pit had been dug rather deep initially. Lin Meng watched as the chicken squawked frantically at the bottom of the pit, eager to catch it. She jumped down without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the chicken initially acted docile. After being caught by Lin Meng and lifted high above her head, it suddenly erupted, flapping its wings violently and twisting with its sharp claws, breaking free from Lin Meng's grasp in an instant and bouncing out of the pit.
Lin Meng panicked, this took her a lot of effort, digging the hole and squatting in it to wait.
"Oh, chicken! Chicken!"
She panicked and immediately shouted, scrambling to climb out of the pit. Meanwhile, the smiling man crouched on top, watching her. As soon as the prank chicken jumped out and fluttered its wings in a hurry to escape, he pounced like a leopard, swiftly catching the bird. He then grabbed its two wings with one hand and brought it back like a criminal.
The chicken immediately became obedient, seeming to be someone who knows how to read people's faces and understands the principle of bullying the weak.
Lin Meng stood in the pit and pouted, complaining in a sweet voice. "It's bullying me!"
Rong Ling reached out a hand and gently pulled her up from the pit, coaxing her.
"Then we'll have it for dinner tonight, to get back at them for you!"
She laughed heartily at that, replying without a hint of shyness.
Okay!
Everyone found it strange that the chicken, as if knowing its time was up, had become docile after being bullied by Rong Ling, but now it was clucking again.
"Ouch!" Lin Meng poked the chicken wing lightly with her hand. "You can still understand human language, huh!"
The chicken is still squawking.
"You just kicked me with your paw, and now I'm going to eat you!"
Then the chicken clucked, causing Lin Meng to laugh uncontrollably. She laughed so hard she fell onto Rong Ling's body. Finally, she said to Rong Ling,
"This chicken can't possibly understand human speech, can it"
"Don't be ridiculous!" He said with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Lin Meng had a whimsical idea for a moment, teasing the chicken for a while. Sometimes she said she would kill it, and sometimes she said she wouldn't, only asking if the chicken wanted to live, nodding her head if it did. The chicken didn't cooperate, squawking and making a fuss. After playing with it for a while, Lin Meng spared the chicken.
“Look at you, poor thing. I'll let you off this time, hehe…”
Then, he opened the net and let Rong Ling put both chickens inside.
Strangely enough, after being put in, the chicken stopped crowing. Lin Meng shook his head and smiled, not bothering to investigate further. Whether it was a coincidence or not, that's just how things were.
"Let's go exchange these for gifts, and bring back two souvenirs for the little ones. This is thanks to their dad and mom's hard work this afternoon, hee hee, the two little ones will definitely love them."
It's only natural to favor your own children, Rong Ling thought this was fine. In the end, he used his hunting bow and effortlessly shot a chicken back. The two of them then stopped messing around in the woods and returned to the service station.
This is more of a recreational hunting ground, with easier-to-raise poultry like chickens and ducks. To be honest, chicken meat tastes better. Duck meat has a bit of an off smell. As for rabbit meat, Lin Meng wouldn't dare to eat it, so the two of them mainly focused on chickens. After exchanging two live ones for two small gifts, Lin Meng and Rong Ling took a seasoning sent by the service station and that half-dead chicken shot by an arrow towards the stream. Rong Ling said he wanted to cook for her himself, so naturally, Lin Meng followed him happily. As for those two live ones, they heard that when the hunting ground closes, they would be returned to the forest, a kind of resource recycling, so Lin Meng didn't have to worry about them anymore.
Slaughtering the chicken, draining its blood, gutting it, and removing its entrails—these were all tasks Rong Ling handled. Lin Meng simply had to watch from the side. They set up their cooking area by the stream, so everything was convenient. As Rong Ling worked, he chatted with Lin Meng casually, just like an ordinary couple would.
"When I was in the army, we frequently conducted field survival training, so this skill is common among many. Basically, any live creature caught could be processed like this. Back then, we had nothing around us, at most just a little salt on our person. Just rubbing that salt would make it irresistible to everyone..."
The things he experienced in the army seemed to have left a deep and beautiful impression on him. When he talked about them, there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Well, I guess you always manage to get a lot, hehe. You're so good at it!"
His smile widened, and his voice took on a slightly rougher edge.
Those are all wolf cubs, you were too slow, you definitely wouldn't get any. The more you grab, the better proof of your abilities it is!
Lin Meng's eyes rolled, racing past the crystal-clear stream beside her, flashing with brilliant cunning.
"Then I'll guess again, you definitely aren't the one who eats the most every time!"
"How do you know!"
He raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.
"You, my friend, are deeply loyal at heart. So, I surmise that even if you took it all, you'd certainly share some with your comrades... However--"
She purposely paused, dangling Rong Ling's appetite.
"But what!" Rong Ling asked.
She lifted her chin haughtily, her eyes sparkling with a hint of triumph.
"You, you sometimes like to tease people and have a bit of a bad temper. So, I guess your comrades wouldn't just readily share their spoils with you! Rong Ling, am I right"
She looked at me with a face that screamed "Praise me, praise me!" She was practically wagging her tail.
Rong Ling burst into a hearty laugh, his laughter rich and full-bodied. In that moment, he seemed to be transported back to the past, restoring the dashing spirit he had possessed during his time in the army.
Such a rare and wonderful sight made Lin Meng feel that the man before her was simply breathtakingly handsome. She instantly felt a flutter in her heart and rushed towards him, acting like a little puppy, playfully surrounding him.
"Rong Ling, I guessed it right, didn't I"
He still laughed heartily and gave the highest praise.
Only those who know me well, call me Xiao Gua!
“That’s mine!” she said with a smug tilt of her chin and a flick of her nose, accepting it without any manners.
Looking at Rong Ling, who was fidgeting like that, if it wasn't for the fact that he had his hands covered in dirt from dealing with the chicken, he would have truly wanted to grab this adorable little woman and hold her tightly against his chest, rubbing her fiercely.
When it came time to wrap the chicken in mud, Lin Meng wanted to get involved in everything. She grabbed the damp mud and giggled as she smeared it all over the chicken. Several times, she deliberately played a prank on Rong Ling, smearing his palm with mud, turning the back of his hand black. Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, letting her tease him. When they were finished, he took a large lotus leaf provided by the service station to wrap up the mud-covered chicken. Unexpectedly, when Lin Meng was laughing brightly, he slapped half his palm onto her face, smearing half her face with mud, leaving her stunned and staring at him blankly. She never expected that the man would have such a mischievous side!
It's truly awful!
He stifled a laugh, buried the chicken, and piled on the firewood.
She only then reacted, letting out an "Ah—" as she tried to retaliate, but he easily stopped her. She tried several times to provoke him, but to no avail. Then, with a mischievous glint in her eye, she devised another plan and asked him curiously.
"Rong Ling, do you know why those special forces soldiers paint camouflage on their faces!"
This is Rong Ling's old trick, it goes without saying why.
“Painting camouflage can better disguise yourself and improve your survival rate. Usually, in dark places, such as concealed areas, the reflective ability of human faces is very strong, especially at night or in places with water under moonlight. Without painting camouflage, it is easy to expose yourself. Especially when you are sniping, you need to conceal yourself more and paint camouflage. The most powerful reflective ability on the face is the nose bridge, forehead, and cheekbones. These places need special attention. Before, people would use soil or soot to blacken their faces, and later, specialized camouflage oil was developed…”
Lin Meng nodded repeatedly, looking like a very eager and studious student.
When Deng Rong finished speaking, the workers over there didn't waste any time and quickly built a fire at the construction site. Lin Meng then asked...
"So, have you ever drawn camouflage before!"
Rong Ling nodded.
Then I want to see it!
She immediately retorted. (.tw handsome novels)
This is her true purpose.
"With that kind of you, you must be so handsome, so handsome, so handsome…"
She held her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. If you ignored the mud caked on her hands and the smudge of dirt across half her face, she would be quite captivating. It's likely that anyone under her gaze would immediately be smitten, completely enamored and led around by her like a lovestruck puppy.
Rong Ling glanced at her playfully, adding more firewood to the fire without a word. She couldn't contain herself, watching him excitedly and moving her hands directly.
Let me draw you, I want to see, want to see, want to see a handsome guy...
No matter how many times you flatter someone, they will never be satisfied.
Although Rong Ling knew what mischievous thoughts were brewing in Lin Meng's heart, he was still beguiled by her sweet words, his body growing soft. When she pounced on him again, he made no attempt to stop her. She nestled against him like a kitten, her eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint that she couldn't quite hide. Her delicate fingertips began to trace patterns on his face.
He was afraid she would go too far, so he threatened her.
"Make the drawing look nice, otherwise, it's too ugly, and you won't get any chicken to eat!"
She just brushed it off.
"Got it!"
Anyway, she made up her mind that he was just a paper tiger making a lot of noise, and definitely wouldn't let her starve!
With the tip of her tongue, she licked her lips wickedly, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. She looked more and more like a catwoman about to do something naughty.
If he didn't care about the other people picnicking by this stream, he could just push this little demon to the ground and give her a taste of justice right here.
Lin Meng had a mischievous plan in mind. She was trying her best to make Rong Ling look ridiculous, even putting on several layers of mud on his face. But suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She smirked wickedly, but the movements of her hands became more serious. Following the memory in her mind, she slowly applied the mud with her hands. Gradually, ignoring his clothes and focusing only on his face, a cool-looking soldier was born. Lin Meng was excited beyond words, she turned around without caring about anything else and went to rummage through her bag.
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, thinking that this little woman was going to use something else to prank him. He thought to himself, "This girl has gone too far. Let's see how he deals with her when she gets home tonight." But who knew, she took out his phone, the white one he had replaced for her later, with her muddy hands, and then “click――” without saying a word, she took a picture. He clearly had the opportunity to stop her, but looking at her excited expression, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Haha, I'm going to use this as my phone background!"
She leaned in close, her face beaming with pride.
"Look, look, isn't he handsome, isn't he handsome!"
He looked at himself in his phone, raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't speak, praising himself for being handsome – it wasn't something he would normally say out loud.
Lin Meng was holding her phone, as if she'd found a treasure. She was even more excited than when he had given her jewelry. She stared at the phone, giggling to herself, and looked like she was about to drool.
You silly goose!
He let out a snort of amusement in his mind. He had such a good person right beside him, yet he couldn't compare to that lifeless one on the screen! With a twist of his arm, he pressed her head against his elbow, carefully avoiding her hair and face with his palm. He leaned closer and forcefully kissed her lips. She giggled idiotically, her small mouth slightly parted revealing pretty white teeth. Taken by surprise, she was kissed suddenly, even getting some dirt in her mouth.
"Bah, bah!"
She gagged twice, without thinking, reached out to wipe her lips, and then sadly discovered that the mud on her hand was definitely much more than there was on her lips.
"Sobbing..."
She hummed pitifully, accusingly gazing at him. Her black eyes seemed to speak volumes. Her face was smeared with mud here and there, plastered onto her fair skin, like a pampered white Persian cat who had frolicked outdoors and returned home afraid of being scolded. She maintained an air of haughty composure yet awkwardly pretended to be wronged, captivatingly driving him mad. He couldn't bear it any longer, he cupped her face in his hand and without hesitation, pressed his entire mud-covered face against hers, rubbing his mess all over her face.
It's better to enjoy oneself with others than alone!
She was so angry she could have clawed him with her nails. Held down by his strength, she could only struggle helplessly, but her pretty face was messed up by his rubbing, and then she felt her cheeks were flushed red from being rubbed by him, a bit hot and burning.
On one side, a low chuckle came. She figured it was people having a picnic nearby, and felt ashamed. The moment he let her go, she glared at him with eyes that didn't hold much power, but seemed more alluring instead. This look was also stunning, the eyes shining with firelight, making her appear radiant and seductive.
Just at that moment, a slight crisp sound, "click," and their photo together was fixed like that.
Rong Ling took the phone from her hand without making a sound, holding it in front of her face and shaking it. He opened his mouth, revealing a row of white teeth that stood out against his filthy face, gleaming with an almost blinding smugness.
"Using this as the background, I like it!"
This is not a negotiation, but an announcement.
She looked at the photo of herself and let out a soft hum.
"It's hideous, I wouldn't touch it!"
Though he seemed cool, the smile softened his features like sunlight melting ice. It was beautiful and awe-inspiring. He was looking at her in the photo, and despite her dirtiness - she looked like a little stray cat - she radiated the feeling of being deeply loved. It was as if she had softened him completely.
A tingling sensation, numb and prickly, crawled up her spine, slowly ascending until her waist felt weak.
She snatched the phone, and despite saying those words, she acted as if it were a precious treasure, immediately tucking it into her sports pants pocket. Keeping it close to her body, no one could steal it.
"Little sample!"
He nudged her nose and stood up from the ground, pulling her along with him.
"Go wash your face! You look like a wild child right now!"
Then you must be the wild child!
She pouted, but he dragged her a few steps to the stream and she washed her face. Then they helped each other clean any spots they had missed. When they were done, Lin Meng looked back and was delighted. There were couples and families who came to this hunting ground, and she saw that several pairs were painting mud on each other's faces. One child was happily playing selfies with his phone. A face that wasn't particularly beautiful when painted, next to the happy and complacent face of a child, somehow made it look beautiful no matter how you looked at it.
She immediately leaned close to Rong Ling's face, biting his ear and looking smugly pleased.
"Look, sis, I accidentally started a trend!"
Rong Ling's big hand immediately reached into Lin Meng's butt and pinched her hard, causing her to shiver and her upper body to go limp against his.
"Who are you calling sister in front of, huh!"
Just a slight nasal sound, and she felt herself instantly crushed by him.
She pouted. "Oh, come on! It's just a saying, that's what people say online!"
Doesn't he think this is very touching!
But looking at his stern face, she was scared and swallowed the rest of her words.
"This little girl is the smallest of them all, and she even calls me sister!"
"Oh, I'm talking about that little brother of mine. Look, wouldn't you say I'm like his older sister!"
She pointed at the little boy who was giggling.
Rong Ling glanced at him, her voice light. "He has to call you Auntie, not sister!"
"Why am I not your sister anymore, I'm only 22!"
This man's face is a bit dark. The little boy calls her sister, but can he also call him brother! Uncle and sister just don't go together.
"You're my aunt!"
Lin Meng didn't yield. "You're making me sound old!"
The man's face darkened even further, his thin lips pursed slightly. She only realized it then, and understanding dawned on her. She leaned against his shoulder, biting his ear softly and calling out to him in a tender voice.
"Brother... Brother... You're my brother, so I'm your sister, right!"
"Brother—"
She murmured in his ear, a husky voice that was like a spell. It sent shivers down his spine.
"Little sample!"
He pinched her cheek and led her back, his face back to normal. She stuck out her tongue and giggled inside, leaning back against him and sweetly calling him "Husband... Husband" several times. This sometimes overly-sensitive man was soothed by her, his mood brightening as he said he would catch fish for her to eat.
There were fish in the stream, but they were very cunning. When they saw people, they would flee as fast as they could. However, this was no match for Rong Ling's skill. With two "swish" sounds, he caught two fish and brought them back. Then he gutted and cleaned them before putting them on the fire to roast. Lin Meng chuckled softly.
"If this boss keeps running into people like you, I reckon he won't be able to keep his business going."
The veiled praise caused a slight crease in his brow.
"Poor thing!"
He muttered something disparaging, then with a brush, he evenly coated both fish with oil. The flames eagerly caught the oil, immediately clinging to it, and soon there was a sizzling sound. In the air, a faint aroma of fish began to waft, making Lin Meng lick his lips in anticipation.
"Hungry!"
She immediately nodded.
Just a moment, it's almost ready!
Later, the fish seasoned with chili powder and cumin was grilled to perfection, it was so delicious! Then, wrapped in these unbelievably thin spring pancakes that were specially provided by this hunting lodge, every bite was a symphony of flavors. Rong Ling saw that she enjoyed it, so he offered her his own piece which he had only taken a few bites of. She didn't hesitate and ate the whole thing, then licked her lips eagerly, waiting for the stir-fried chicken.
Okay, Rongling feels very satisfied!
This woman's excessive flattery greatly pleased him!
Waiting for the stewed chicken to be ready was a process all its own. Once it finally emerged, it tasted unique and delightful. Tearing at the tender meat and wrapping it in spring pancakes was truly satisfying, proving that after all the hard work and waiting, everything was worth it.
Finally, Lin Meng ate until her belly was round and she could barely straighten up. Rong Ling teased her, "Little glutton," but instead of getting angry, she retorted coquettishly.
“This is because what you made was too delicious, so I couldn't help but eat a lot!”
After saying that, he couldn't help but lick his lips and immediately ordered the next course.
"I'll definitely come here to eat again, and I want you to cook for me!"
"Good." He replied cheerfully, leading the well-fed kitten home.
When they got home, it was dark. Both children were waiting anxiously. When they saw Rong Ling and Lin Meng, they rushed forward.
"Daddy, Mommy, where are you going!"
The tone had a childlike possessiveness to it.
Lin Meng immediately took out the gifts and gave them to the two little guys. The two little guys were amazed after listening to Lin Meng's description.
"You You wants to go too, Daddy and Mommy aren't taking You You!"
After saying that, she looked at the two elders with a wronged expression.
Rong Ling will not tolerate this little one.
"You still need to learn, I can't take you!"
The little guy pouted slightly, but didn't make a fuss. He had his own goals in mind: to grow up quickly and protect Mommy. And he absolutely had to be better than Daddy! So he had to study hard, learn as much as he could.
Since Rong Ling is playing the role of a strict father, then Lin Meng should play the role of a doting mother. They need to be a complementary pair, one hard and one soft.
"When the weekend comes, you two won't have to study anymore, and we can all go out to play together!"
The two little ones, Lin Meng’s favorites, were also easily soothed by her. They immediately smiled and started playing with their new toys. Then, as if remembering something, they ran up the stairs, then came back down holding a box.
The box is beautifully packaged and looks very high-end.
"It's from Xiao Ba. He told me to give it to Mommy!"
"Uh..." Lin Meng took the package over and turned to look at Rong Ling. "Is it Xiao Ba!"
Rong Ling nodded in affirmation.
