You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 450 Taking A Bath Together

Bai Rong guessed he was talking to his father. Oh well, if I were his parents, I would definitely not agree with him giving up everything, especially his success and moving to another country with the likelihood of not returning to his own country forever.

Suddenly, Gu Mingchen approached her while she was in a daze.

Bai Rong raised her head and looked at him.

She had never thought of dragging him down and did not realize it until she overheard his conversation with his father. Indeed, I've dragged him down! “I'm sorry!"

“You have nothing to apologize for! Everyone has his own goal. I don't force others, and neither do I want others to force me! Well, I know how to find happiness in my life,” Gu Mingchen smiled and explained.

“After all, you've let your father down. Naturally, parents wish to see their children succeed in life. We should understand this since we are also parents, so you'd better talk nicely to him or persuade him calmly even if he is forcing you,” Bai Rong responded with a gentle voice.

"I still remember you said something before. If you love someone, you don't think about what you should do to love him. Instead, you should think about what he wants you to do. That is love. Am I right?” Gu Mingchen asked her softly.

Upon hearing that, her eyes reddened, prickling with tears. “So... you love me more than I love you! From now on, I shall love you more!”

Gu Mingchen grinned ear to ear and caressed her head. “Is the lunch ready? After lunch, I'll go hunting.”

“Hey, I forgot to ask you! What are you going to use for hunting? Gun?”

“There is a crossbow in my room. It's a modern version. I'll show it to you later and let you practice shooting when I am free,” he replied gently.

"Wow, great! I want to shoot a crossbow!” Bai Rong said happily.

Gu Mingchen held her hand, and they walked downstairs for lunch together. After lunch, he showed her the crossbow. What? I thought it was an ordinary bow! It turned out to be a modern crossbow like the one seen in the sci-fi movie and could shoot by pressing the trigger with one hand. “This?” “This crossbow is small and portable. Its range and strength are three times that of a normal bow. Besides, the arrow is an enhanced version. While standing ten meters away, it can penetrate the head of a wild boar. It will then release the drug from the arrowhead and make the animal unconscious. Basically, you can capture the animal with a single hit,” Gu Mingchen explained.

He said so, as he did not want her to worry about him.

“It sounds great! Then you'd better leave now. It's already past noon. You must come back before half past three, even if you don't get a prey. I'll be worried about you. By the way, do you have a flashlight? Please bring it along just in case. Well, I'll look for you if you fail to come back by ten tonight. Do you understand?” Bai Rong explained.

Gu Mingchen chuckled, caressing her cheek. “Yes, Chief!”

"Please come back early!” Bai Rong was reluctant to let him go.

“Don’t go out! Wait for me to come home!” Gu Mingchen ordered.

“By the way, bring along the umbrella! The weather here changes frequently. Though it is sunny now, it may rain in the afternoon,” she reminded.

“Don’t worry! I've brought the raincoat along,” he replied gently.

Bai Rong then glanced at his backpack, and it looked bulging.

"Okay! Be careful!” She stood on the second floor and watched as he left.

Gu Mingchen locked the door as he went out. Soon, he disappeared from her sight.

After he left, the house became quiet and empty. Trying to get him out of her mind, she kept herself busy by cleaning the house. The entire house was sparkling clean afterward.

Once the cleaning was done, Bai Rong glanced at the clock, and it was already four o'clock.

She brought the quilt and bedding in after drying them under the sun. As soon as Bai Rong finished making the bed, she walked over to the closet and opened it.

His clothes were hung in the closet. After checking through the clothes, she did not see any

mold. Perhaps he just brought the clothes over.

The weather by the sea is humid, so things should be exposed to the sun more. We should go out in the sun too!

After Bai Rong finished all the work, she stood on the balcony, looking into the distance. While waiting for Gu Mingchen anxiously, she glanced at her phone from time to time in annoyance.

It was five thirty-six when she heard a knock on the door. She was worried that it might be a beast. Being vigilant, Bai Rong asked, “Who is that?"

“It's me!” That was the voice of Gu Mingchen.

Instantly, a broad smile flashed across her face. “Coming!”

Bai Rong went downstairs joyfully and opened the door.

Gu Mingchen seemed to have come back with a lot of catch. He was holding two sacks, and something was moving in one of the sacks. “What is that?"

“Let's go to the shed now! Take out the big mat and form a circle,” he ordered.

Mat? Ah, it is in the cabinet! Bai Rong saw the mat when she was cleaning the house in the afternoon.

Immediately, she brought it over and formed a circle.

“Let the intersection part face the corner!” Gu Mingchen said.

"Okay!" After she spread out the mat, she piled a lot of wood outside of the joints to ensure that the circle formed would not collapse.

Then, Gu Mingchen brought the sack with moving objects over and emptied it. Two big rabbits came out first, followed by another one, two, three, four... There were a total of eight little rabbits. Upon seeing that, Bai Rong was surprised and looked at him. “Wow, you've caught a lot of rabbits, and they are still alive! How did you catch them?”

“Well, I followed the rabbit burrow and captured the whole bunch of them,” Gu Mingchen explained.

“These rabbits are so cute!” She could not bear to eat them.

Oh well, in this world, only the strong survive and the weak perish. This is called the survival of the fittest. Maybe only the well-protected ladies who live in wealthy families have the right to pity these little animals.

Then, Gu Mingchen brought over the other sack and emptied it.

Bai Rong saw three wild chickens, but she was unsure if they were still alive or just unconscious. There were also a lot of fiddleheads and some wild vegetables that she could not identify. “Wow, you even picked so many wild vegetables?”

“I saw a lot of Matsutake mushrooms on the way. You can put these into the chicken soup.” He replied while picking up the wild chickens. “Please get me some hot water. I'm going to clean the chickens.”

"We have so much food now! You don't have to go out hunting tomorrow. Haha!” Bai Rong said with a broad smile, thinking that they could spend the entire day together the following day.

Gu Mingchen could not help but flash a bright smile. “By the way, do you know how to take a bath here?”

"How?" Bai Rong asked, following his lead.

He then brought her to a small room inside.

There was a stove inside that room, but it was different from the stove for cooking. A huge tub was placed on top of the stove.

"Ah, this is for bathing. When I was a doctor and went to the rural area for voluntary consultation, I tried this before at the home of a local. After filling the tub with water, you need to light the fire underneath to heat the water. Then you can immerse yourself,” Bai Rong explained.

“You know about it!" He smiled while looking at her with passion gleaming in his eyes. “Let's take a bath together tonight! It's warm here.”

Bath together?

Her face blushed when her eyes flickered toward him. Immediately, Bai Rong lowered her head, feeling shy. “I'm going to prepare dinner. There are still some leftovers. I just need to heat it up.” When she was about to leave, Gu Mingchen stretched his hand and held her back, pulling her close in for an embrace and kissed her on the lips...
