Chapter 67: What my girlfriend caught ≈ What I caught
The sunset was magnificent.
A secluded tributary of the Nanhe River, its shimmering waves were also sprinkled with a layer of red dust.
When Nohara Rin arrived with light steps, Kamitsuki Seiun had already lit a campfire, found two appropriately sized stones to use as stools, and was waiting quietly.
Hearing footsteps, Shenyue Xingyun raised her head.
"You've arrived."
"Yes." Nohara Rin nodded.
When Shenyue Xingyun looked up at her, for some reason, she felt increasingly cheerful.
She skipped and hopped over to Shenyue Xingyun's side, watching him tend to the campfire.
"Nebula, what are you doing?"
Shenyue Xingyun kept moving: "Start a fire, grill the fish."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? We're having grilled fish today."
Nohara Rin hadn't eaten. After a quick half-hour preparation at home, she rushed over.
He went around to Shenyue Xingyun's back and looked at a wooden bucket next to him, which contained several half-foot-long blue fish.
"Where did the fish come from?"
Shenyue Xingyun chuckled softly: "That goes without saying, I caught it."
"Just caught it?"
"certainly."
Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin looked at the few not-so-lively bluefish in the wooden tub with a puzzled expression.
"They all seem a bit listless."
Shenyue Xingyun froze.
Actually, he and another girlfriend caught it that morning. She's quite skilled at fishing and catching loaches, and they like to fish and eat together. He released the ones they didn't eat. After most of the day had passed, it was already quite remarkable that the fish were still alive by nightfall.
However, since his girlfriend caught it, it's practically the same as him catching it, so he felt there was nothing wrong with his statement.
Faced with Nohara Rin's question, he thought for a moment and gave a reasonable explanation: "Maybe... it's getting dark, and they're planning to go to sleep."
Nohara Rin looked blankly at her large eyes: "Do fish sleep?"
"Yes." Shenyue Xingyun replied, taking a bluefish out of the wooden bucket and then hitting his head with a stone.
The grass carp, which had been barely moving, suddenly became quiet.
Shingetsu Seiun pointed at the fish and gestured to Nohara Rin, "Look, isn't it fast asleep?"
Nohara Rin chuckled and patted Shinzuki Seiun on the shoulder.
"Fine! You're messing with me."
"You're so smart, how could I possibly outsmart you?"
Soon, several grilled fish were skewered on wooden sticks.
Seeing him working non-stop, Nohara Rin asked, "How can I help?"
"Just sit still and help me clean this up in a bit, that will be a favor."
"Who knows if it will taste good or not?" Nohara Rin said, sitting down on the rock next to him and quietly watching Shinzuki Seiun's movements.
The cleaned herring is held half a foot away from the flames and turned over repeatedly.
As the moisture on the surface of the grass carp evaporates quickly, Shenyue Xingyun brushes on the oil, and soon the fish meat begins to sizzle, with the oil splattering under the high temperature.
The tender white fish meat first turned golden, and then took on a tempting caramel color. Shen Yue Xingyun took out the prepared seasonings and sprinkled them evenly on the surface of the fish meat.
The seasonings and the oil from the fish blend together, and under the high temperature of the grill, a rich aroma is instantly released!
"Glug~"
The sound of swallowing was exceptionally clear by the campfire. Shingetsu Seiun looked up and saw that Nohara Rin had buried her head in her arms and knees, with her ears slightly reddened.
Shen Yue Xingyun's lips curled up.
He quickened his movements and, after the other person swallowed uncontrollably for the second time, handed over the sizzling, steaming grilled fish.
"Give."
Nohara Rin pursed her lips and looked up.
Looking at the grilled fish in front of her, she said softly, "It seems a bit big."
Shenyue Xingyun said, "Eat without worry."
"Give it to me if you can't finish it."
Nohara Rin then accepted it.
"Ah-woo" takes a bite.
Her eyes started to light up!
Two bites, three bites...
Nohara Rin ate quietly and quickly. By the time she came to her senses from the deliciousness of the grilled fish, she had already eaten two whole fish.
Looking up, I saw the gentle gaze of Shenyue Xingyun.
She stood there, holding the wooden stick, stunned. After a moment, her face turned bright red.
"I...I..." Nohara Rin was at a loss.
I'm so embarrassed! They said one fish was a bit big, but they ended up eating two in one go.
How can this be explained!
In that awkward moment, Shenyue Xingyun handed over another one.
"I can't eat anymore, have another one."
"……All right."
While taking small bites of grilled fish, Nohara Rin occasionally looked up and met Kamitsuki Seiun's gentle gaze, then lowered her head shyly.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing," said Shingetsu Nebula.
"It's just kind of pretty," he thought to himself.
Nohara Rin, eating grilled fish, looked just like a greedy cat. Her little mouth was covered in seasoning and oil from the grilled fish, which she didn't have time to clean. With her efforts, another fish became exposed.
Nohara Rin patted her stomach, tossing the neatly arranged fish bones aside. "I'm full."
"Nebula, your grilled fish is so delicious!"
Shenyue Xingyun smiled.
Looking at Shingetsu Seiun's smile, Nohara Rin was stunned again.
handsome.
How can he be so handsome?
Sometimes she felt that her "friend" was indeed a bit too handsome.
Even though it was just a light smile, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
Seeing the stunned Nohara Rin, Shinzuki Seiun's heart softened even more. Noticing the oil and seasoning on the corner of her mouth, he subconsciously reached out and wiped it clean for her.
He stopped halfway through extending his hand.
His actions stemmed from genuine affection, but halfway through, he realized that his hands were not quite the same as those of ordinary people.
Moreover, you promised to be friends with them.
His movements froze.
Nohara Rin was also staring blankly into space.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Three seconds later, Shenyue Xingyun's resolve suddenly hardened.
The hand that had been suspended in mid-air reached forward again and gently wiped the corner of Nohara Rin's mouth clean.
"~" The girl's breathing suddenly became rapid.
She clenched her hands, unsure of what to do, when Shen Yue Xingyun lowered her hands.
"alright."
"Now it's clean."
He wiped his hands as if he had just done something completely ordinary.
Only Nohara Rin remained clenched in her fists, her heart pounding like a drum.
For a long time.
The sky was getting dark.
Rin Nohara's soft voice rang out from the riverbank.
"What...what are we learning today?"
"Medical ninjutsu, or something else?"
Shenyue Xingyun said, "We will not study today."
"Not studying?"
Nohara Rin asked, "So what are we going to do?"
Shenyue Xingyun said, "The weather is perfect, let's look at the moon today."
"Today's moon should be the fullest of the month."
"Well... that's fine too," Nohara Rin replied.
Then, she looked up at the sky.
After a moment, she whispered, "Nebula."
"The moon... doesn't seem to be out yet."
