Chapter 194 Sweet Fruit
Chapter 194 Sweet Fruit
It was midday, the sun shining brightly in the sky, casting dappled shadows through dense foliage. The group found a relatively flat, open area in the forest, where they decided to rest and build a fire to roast their catch.
A blazing bonfire rose, its flames dancing merrily. Under the warm glow, pheasants and rabbits were placed on a simple barbecue grill, gradually emitting an enticing aroma.
Alice and Mo Xing squatted side by side beside the fire, their eyes fixed on the golden, fragrant rabbits being expertly roasted by Bai Nini. The rabbits were roasted to a golden hue, sizzling with oil, and the enchanting aroma filled their nostrils, making Alice's mouth water.
"Wow, the rabbit is so cute..." Alice couldn't help but murmur softly, staring at the appetizing food in front of her without blinking, and even a trace of crystal saliva began to flow slowly from the corner of her mouth.
Mo Xing, who was standing by, had originally been listening to Alice's exclamation with great interest, but when he saw her greedy expression, his eyes widened in shock. Just then, he heard Alice add, "It would be a shame not to roast them and eat them!"
Hearing this, Mo Xing shook his head helplessly, put his hand to his forehead, and sighed. He wondered to himself, who had so confidently declared herself a noble and elegant lady? But now she looked like a complete glutton!
Qin Nuo walked towards this side happily, holding a few brightly colored, round and plump wild fruits. He walked quickly, while carefully protecting the treasures in his hands, as if he was afraid that they would drop accidentally.
After coming to Bai Nini, Qin Nuo handed the wild fruits to her like he was presenting treasures, and said softly, "Nini, these fruits were given to me by some innocent and cute children. I'm not sure whether they are edible, so I brought them back for you to see." After saying that, he looked at Bai Nini expectantly, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Bai Nini raised her head slightly, her eyes falling on the wild fruits. She examined them carefully, then nodded and answered affirmatively, "They're edible!" Qin Nuo's face immediately broke into a bright smile after receiving this answer.
He pulled out a snow-white handkerchief from his bosom and gently began to wipe the wild fruits. He meticulously wiped each fruit clean, as if these were not ordinary wild fruits, but inestimably precious jewels. When he was done, Qin Nuo couldn't wait to open his mouth and take a big bite.
Instantly, the juice exploded in his mouth, and the wonderful taste made him squint his eyes. He glanced at Bai Nini beside him, his lips curled up in a satisfied smile, and said happily, "Wow! So sweet! It's simply a delicacy!" As he spoke, he took a few more bites, savoring this rare sweetness.
Then, Qin Nuo seemed to remember something and quickly reached out to pick up one of the largest and reddest fruits. He handed it to Andrew who was standing beside him and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother! Come and try this fresh wild fruit. It tastes great and is really sweet!"
Andrew excitedly took the large fruit and took a big bite. He laughed heartily, "Haha! This fruit is so sweet! It tastes amazing! Come and try some!" He then hurriedly broke off a few pieces of the remaining fruit and handed them to his companions.
Mo Yu and Qian Yi happily accepted the attractively colored, lightly scented fruit from Qin Nuo's hands. They exchanged a smile and bit into it without hesitation. However, the moment they took a bite, their expressions froze, as if under a spell. Then, they almost simultaneously turned their heads and shouted in unison to Lu Wenjie, who was standing not far away, "Wow, this fruit is really sweet!"
Hearing this, Lu Wenjie, who had been a little indifferent, curled his lips and muttered: "Hmph, Mr. Qin, we have a life-long friendship! Why is it my turn at the end? But seeing how delicious you guys are eating, it shouldn't be bad..." As he spoke, he walked quickly forward and stretched out his hand to take the only remaining fruit from Qin Nuo.
Lu Wenjie put the fruit into his mouth with great anticipation and chewed it vigorously. But at this moment, a strong sour taste suddenly rushed to the tip of his tongue, stimulating him and making him tremble all over. He frowned, his eyes widened, and a cry of surprise came from his throat: "Oh my God! What the hell is this? It's so sour!"
After saying that, he frantically bent down, desperately trying to spit out the fruit in his mouth. After finally spitting it out, Lu Wenjie stood up and pointed at Mo Yu, Qian Yi, and Andrew and cursed: "Well, you guys, you actually teamed up to cheat me! How can this fruit be sweet? It's so sour!"
Qin Nuo and Andrew stared at him intently, only for Andrew to say with a look of suspicion on his face: "It's not sour! This fruit is very sweet! Could it be that the one you picked is not ripe yet? Come on, try this one in my hand, I guarantee it will make you feel sweet to the heart!" As he said that, he handed the fruit he had bitten to Lu Wenjie.
Full of doubt, Lu Wenjie took the bitten-off fruit and cautiously took a small bite. After savoring it carefully, he seemed to notice nothing unusual. Then, he boldly took another large bite. However, at that moment, a strong sour taste swept over him like a tide, instantly filling his entire mouth.
"Fuck! It's so sour!" Lu Wenjie jumped up at the sudden sour taste. His features twisted together in a ridiculous manner, making him look ridiculous. At the same time, he kept fanning his mouth with his hands while shouting loudly, trying to reduce the unbearable sour taste.
Seeing Lu Wenjie's exaggerated reaction, the others who had been enjoying their fruit also stopped eating. They looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally spat out the fruit flesh in their mouths, shouting in unison, "Oh my god, it's so sour!" For a moment, complaints rang out one after another.
At this point, Lu Wenjie's face was red with rage, like a boiled prawn. His eyes widened as he glared at the group before him, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Well, you've teamed up to trick me!" Before he even finished speaking, he waved his fists as if he was about to charge forward and settle the score with them.
