Seeing her expression of enjoyment, Xiao Mingcheng also gave it a try.

However, he had never eaten cooked food before and was not used to the heat at all.

The moment he was scalded, he burst out and overturned the stone bowl in front of him. Not feeling that it was enough, he stood up and prepared to rush to the earthen stove and overturn the stone pot as well.

Bai Yingying was scalded by the splashing soup and originally planned to endure it. But seeing that Xiao Mingcheng was going crazy again, he quickly exclaimed: "Mingcheng..."

Xiao Mingcheng's heart tightened, his gloomy and angry expression disappeared, and he turned around nervously: "Did you get burned? Let me take a look..."

"On the face." Bai Yingying pointed the fingertips of her right hand at her chin, tears of grievance filling her eyes.

Her left hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly.

In fact, she wasn't sure she could stop Xiao Mingcheng just now, but when the other person really stopped, she was still disgusted.

If possible, she really didn't want to be with this moody, always out-of-control viper.

Even when he was burned while drinking soup, he was so angry that he overturned the bowl, and still wanted to continue to overturn the pot to vent his emotions. Is this something a normal person can do?

When Xiao Mingcheng saw the particularly eye-catching red color on her chin, he immediately turned around and walked out of the cave.

"..."

Bai Yingying didn't have any hope for him, so she walked to the small stone pool where the water was stored, scooped up a ladle of cold water, put her chin in it and dazed.

This is a small stone pond dug by Xiao Ming. It is only one meter deep and is used to store water. However, he usually does not like to bring water back, so he only fills half of the pond with water.

After a while, Xiao Mingcheng entered the cave again, holding a fresh herb in his hand.

In the winter season, it is still very rare to find a fresh and tender herb.

As soon as Xiao Mingcheng came in, he saw Bai Yingying sitting on her knees by the pool, putting her chin in the water ladle and soaking in a daze.

He felt as if his heart had been hit and began to speed up.

Especially when Bai Yingying turned her head to look over, Xiao Mingcheng subconsciously avoided looking at those watery grape eyes. His face seemed to be a little hot, and his expression became awkward.

He lost all thought of showing off his skills and put the herbs into his mouth as he walked, chewing them quickly. He walked to Bai Yingying and knelt down on one knee, spitting out a ball of mud.

Bai Yingying knew his intention and moved the water ladle away.

Xiao Mingcheng was very serious and gently applied the grass mud to the injury on her chin, "Blame it on me..."

When he said this, he really couldn't speak anymore, so he could only shut up with an awkward expression.

This was the first time Bai Yingying heard him say something similar to an apology.

Bai Yingying held his face and smiled softly at him: "It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself. This injury will be healed in a few days."

"Ah."

Xiao Mingcheng reached out and touched Bai Yingying's face, gently rubbed it repeatedly with his fingertips, and stared at her for a long time.

...

Day two.

Xiao Mingcheng left the cave early in the morning.

His movements when getting up are usually very rough, and Bai Yingying can notice it immediately every time.

This time, his movements were very gentle, and Bai Yingying only woke up when she felt the light.

Bai Yingying stared at the boulder at the entrance of the cave for a moment, then smiled.

"It seems like we have taken another step forward..."

Bai Yingying fell asleep again in the warm quilt before getting up to have breakfast.

She usually took out the buns in her backpack and ate them when she was craving for them. She was reluctant and did not dare to part with them.

The orcs' sense of smell is too sensitive, and the cave is almost closed, leaving scent easily for Xiao Mingcheng to discover. Even if she ate, she would stand next to the gap between the boulders.

But today is different. With the earth stove, you can eat some pasta without spicy flavor.

Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Mingcheng came back from collecting a lot of firewood nearby. He was not afraid of running out of firewood.

Bai Yingying lit a fire to boil the meat, then took out a clay pot and started kneading the noodles.

Half an hour later, I finally had a bowl of salty gnocchi broth.

She hadn't eaten flavorful food for a long time, and even though she didn't add much salt, she still felt a little salty. Even if she wasn't full, she couldn't eat anymore.

Bai Yingying cooked a big pot, which would be too much to finish. She could only pour it into a clay pot and put it in the system backpack. You can wait until tomorrow or have a chance to eat it again. Whenever you take it out, it will be as fresh as ever.

In order to cover up the smell, she cleaned the stone pot and continued to cook the broth.

Usually Xiao Mingcheng goes out hunting and comes back around one o'clock at noon.

But Bai Yingying waited until noon the next day, and Xiao Mingcheng still didn't come back.

Could it be that Xiao Mingcheng is dead?

Bai Yingying thought for a while and decided to start digging the cave wall.

Just as it expanded along the flue, she transformed into a beast and crawled out. It shouldn't take long.

Only when she really transformed into an animal body and started digging did she realize how difficult it was.

Are the rocks here granite? Why is it so difficult to dig.

She had a big belly and couldn't let her belly hang to the ground and rub. I could only stand on the rock and dig, using my claws to dig at the rock as hard as I could. I got tired after a while, but there was only a short deep mark on the rock wall...

Bai Yingying was a little flustered.

According to this progress, if Xiao Mingcheng doesn't come back, can she really escape?

Bai Yingying counted the food and water on her hands, plus the dried meat marinated in the cave. The savings may be sustained through production.

By the time the body becomes smaller, or the system rewards higher-level talent potions, he should be able to go out.

She rested for a while and then dug for a while to make preparations.

but...

after an hour.

The boulder at the door was suddenly moved away.

Xiao Mingcheng walked in with a pale face and met Bai Yingying's eyes, who was planning the wall.

...The air suddenly stagnated.

Bai Yingying immediately jumped down from the earthen stove, transformed into a human body and threw herself into Xiao Mingcheng's arms.

"Mingcheng! You are finally back."

She had thought about the possibility that Xiao Mingcheng would come back midway, and she had already prepared an explanation.

"Are you running away?" Xiao Mingcheng's voice was terrifyingly low.

Bai Yingying raised her head and cried: "You didn't come back. I was worried about you, and I was afraid that I would starve to death by then. I could only find a way to open a hole, so that I could at least go out and pick up something to eat..."

She spoke pitifully, and big tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Mingcheng felt relieved and suddenly wanted to taste, what does such crystal tears taste like?

He did what he thought of and leaned over to suck Bai Yingying's tears one by one.

Bai Yingying froze on the spot, her heart beating a little faster, and her body was uncontrollably feeling numb.

"It's sweet..."

Xiao Mingcheng showed his face and held her tightly in his arms, "I will not abandon you."

"Yes." Bai Yingying pretended to be moved and hugged him back, but her hand felt sticky and she finally smelled the strong smell of blood.

She looked up in surprise and asked, "Are you injured?"

"I'll go find some herbs for you!" Bai Yingying let him go and hurried out.
