You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 I Need You By My Side

They talked about all sorts of things over the meal and sorted out the things simultaneously. Unknowingly, it was already eleven fifteen in the evening.

After Gu Mingchen had the ladder ready, Bai Rong looked in the direction of the bed and noticed they were completely surrounded by a pitch-black environment.

She was afraid of the unknown lingering in the darkness.

Out of fear, she stuttered, “It’s dark…”

“Don’t worry.” Gu Mingchen sprinkled some animal fats on the thickened strand of rope and wrapped it around the wooden stick, lighting it as their source of illumination.

Leading the way ahead of her, he brought the ladder along with him and held on to the knife.

On the other hand, she held on to the man-made torch and brought the parasol back to their bed.

Previously, Gu Mingchen had paved a wide and long path that would enable them to make their way through easily.

If they noticed the presence of any beasts, they could make their way back to their bed at top speed.

Other than that, they could gain better visual. If any boat passed by, they would be aware.

It would be crucial to pave an accessible path to prevent accidental arson caused by the torch.

After they returned to their bed, Gu Mingchen took a seat on the chair to test its sturdiness. It turned out to be steadier than he thought.

He installed the parasol and noticed the boar on their bed. No one could possibly get used to sleeping with a boar.

Therefore, he suggested, “Rong, let’s make another trip back to the beach and hide the boar under the shack.”

“Sure. In fact, I think we should bring a few stones back with us and start a fire here. Otherwise, we can’t really set up a fire here. I don’t think this torch will last all the way to morning,” Bai Rong replied apologetically.

“Alright. Let’s go.” Gu Mingchen agreed without a second thought.

He brought the boar along with him and made their way back to the beach.

Thankfully, Bai Rong had moved a lot of slabs to the beach. As a result of her effort, they could complete the shack within a short time.

After making another few round trips, they brought a lot of slabs back to the bed with them. A new fire was set up once they made a circle using the stones and the bamboos.

By the time they tucked themselves in, it was already one o’clock. Nonetheless, Bai Rong had a hard time falling asleep.

She opened her eyes and noticed they were surrounded by complete darkness. Along with the sound of the insects, she could hear the ambient noise of the fire.

The cowardly woman couldn’t help but feel as though there were a few pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.

In spite of being heavy-eyed, she was afraid of the dark and brought herself up to keep the fire pit burning. She finally fell asleep at the crack of dawn.

She woke up after some time and panicked when she noticed Gu Mingchen wasn’t by her side. Yelling, she ran in the direction of the beach. “Gu Mingchen! Where are you?”

As soon as she reached the beach, she caught a whiff of pleasant scent and saw a pile of stones. It turned out Gu Mingchen had prepared pork stew for their meal.

Along with a bunch of branches and leaves, there were twenty-four bamboos left by the shack.

However, Gu Mingchen was nowhere to be seen.

“Gu Mingchen!” She yelled again and again as she surveyed the surrounding in search of the man, but her effort was to no avail.

After a short while, she ran in the direction of the forest and saw him returning with bamboos from afar.

She catapulted in his direction and reached him within a few seconds.

The man, who was completely drenched in sweat, asked gently, “Are you awake? If you notice I’m not around in the future, stay on the trees, okay? It’s far too dangerous for you to wander around on your own.”
