372 I Miss The Little Darling

Chu Ningyi left to search for some wild fruits for Shui Anluo to eat. As he watched her wolf her meal down, he reached out and stroked her hair. "Once it gets dark, we'll head back." 

Shui Anluo nodded. She watched Chu Ningyi as he squatted and applied some herbal medicine that she could not recognize.

"You know all these herbs?" Shui Anluo asked in surprise because, as a doctor, she felt ashamed.

"I know more about herbal medicine than you," Chu Ningyi replied calmly.

His reply was very calm but Shui Anluo slowed her eating speed down.

"I once read a serviceman's marriage novel, it said that all special forces soldiers are versatile but they had learned all these things for the sake of survival. Is it the same for you?" Shui Anluo asked carefully.

Chu Ningyi spat out a chewed up herb and applied it evenly over her leg before replying, "It's just fiction."

However, the reality of it was a hundred times crueler than the novel.
