Chapter 404: Chapter 404 "Someone’s House

Xu Ke’s eyes grew red, tears filling his eyes as if they could fall at any moment.

Xu Ke smiled and nodded at Lin Mengyao, then quickly turned his head. In just a moment, the tears in his eyes vanished, as if they were never there.

"Stop just looking at me, you should eat something too. Ariel is so sick she won’t be able to walk tomorrow, and you’ll have to carry her then," Lin Mengyao suppressed the urge to gag and took a bite of the fish.

This was no time for being picky; even if it was hard to eat, she had to finish the fish. Otherwise, who knows if they could make it out of the forest. Thinking of this, Lin Mengyao took another bite, and even a hint of fierceness appeared in her expression.

Xu Ke picked up the remaining fish and took a big bite. As soon as the first bite entered his mouth, the fishy taste overwhelmed his entire palate. Xu Ke almost couldn’t help but spit it out, but seeing Lin Mengyao eating it one bite after another without a change in her expression, he swallowed it down.

By the third bite, his mouth was completely accustomed to the taste, and it no longer seemed unpleasant.

As the two were eating, Ariel, who caught a whiff of the fishy smell, was roused awake.

"Who’s killing fish? Get it away from me," Ariel muttered with a frown. She was burning up so badly that she felt she was shouting with all her might, but in reality, her voice wasn’t loud at all. Lin Mengyao, standing some distance away, didn’t hear her clearly.

"What do you want?" Lin Mengyao scooted over to Ariel and asked.

But Lin Mengyao had just finished eating fish, and when she opened her mouth, a strong fishy smell came out, causing Ariel, who never liked fish, to wrinkle her nose in disgust and weakly lift her hand to block it.
