Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain-Chapter 31: - On a cold night, she has her first hot meal since transmigrating (2)
Ruan Qiuqiu tossed five desiccated meat strips that didn’t look appetizing at all into the pot. When the water had come to a boil, she poured some tuber powder into the pot too.
She had wanted to add salt, but there wasn’t easily usable salt, only salt in large chunks. Ruan Qiuqiu was too tired, so they could only do without.
During the time Ruan Qiuqiu waited for their very shabby dinner to boil, she sipped the warm water.
The warm water easily went down her throat and into her stomach. At that moment, she felt alive again. She let out a long sigh. Then, she carried the wooden bowl to the bed.
“Mr. Food Reserve, drink some water.” Ruan Qiuqiu thought of how this big gray wolf had acted so fierce in front of her earlier and wanted to treat him a bit gruffly.
But, when her swollen red hand touched his skin that was even colder than hers, her heart softened.
She gently held his chin to feed him the warm water.
However, Mr. Food Reserve was a very troublesome gray wolf. Even though he was unconscious, he was still fiercely baring his teeth. Half of the warm water ran down his attractive jawline instead of into his mouth.
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”
Fortunately, she was holding the dirty animal skin that had recently fallen off of Mr. Gray Wolf underneath his neck and the rest of the bed didn’t get wet.
The food had finished cooking. Because she was rationing their food, even though it looked like there was a lot of food in the pot, she knew that it was only enough to fill two small bows.
Ruan Qiuqiu first took out the five strips of meat. Each strip wasn’t bigger than her pinky. She set three pieces aside in Mr. Gray Wolf’s bowl to cool down and decided that she would shred the three strips of meat into smaller pieces for him to eat after she finished eating. It looked like he was able to swallow food.
After that, she began to eat her portion of the food.
The bowl of goopy food made from the tuber power didn’t look appetizing at all. In fact, it was quite tasteless and even had a weird smell, but Ruan Qiuqiu ate it as if it was something delicious.
Since coming here, she hadn’t had a chance to eat something warm until now.
In the past two days, the wolf demons had been in a rush to bring her here. They would occasionally catch a snow rabbit or other small animals, roast them, and eat them. However, they wouldn’t even toss a bone her way.
They wouldn’t allow her to use the fire to cook her own food either. Other than drinking the droplets of life-saving water that she condensed with her ability, Ruan Qiuqiu could only eat the tuber power raw.
Now that she had a warm meal to eat, she felt recovered as if the warm food was like a medical treatment that cured her illness.
Outside the cave, the snow filled the air. Inside the cave, there was the semblance of “home” from Mr. Gray Wolf and her efforts.
Although, this home was quite shabby.
After finishing her portion of the food, Ruan Qiuqiu was only half full. Even so, she was filled with renewed hope.
Gaining more patience, she minced the meat in Mr. Gray Wolf’s bowl with the bone knife, poured the remaining porridge-like mixture made from the tuber powder into the bowl, and mixed everything together.
Uh-oh. Mr. Gray Wolf’s bowl of food looked kind of gross…
Ruan Qiuqiu quietly washed the spoon she had used for eating, then she carried over the bowl of questionable-looking food over to feed the wolf.
Anyways, he couldn’t see anything right now. It probably didn’t matter, right…?
