Rice is still the most important thing!

The rabbit meat sizzled and dripped with oil, its aroma filling the air.

To completely mask the fishy smell, Lu Ye not only used cooking wine to remove the fishy smell beforehand, but also brushed a layer of honey on it during the roasting process. This way, the roasted meat will be very crispy on the outside, with a hint of sweetness, and it can also completely lock in the juices inside.

The honey is included in the seasoning packet. Although it's only a small jar, it can last a long time if used sparingly.

He and Violet enjoyed their dinner very seriously.

Since arriving on this isolated island, Lu Ye has truly understood the meaning of the saying, "Every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work."

Although most people know the meaning, you can only truly understand many things by experiencing them yourself.

For example, your mom nags you about studying every day, and you always think to yourself, "Oh, I know," but you don't really understand it until you get a harsh lesson from society.

Thinking back to when Young Master Lu ate before he transmigrated, he would eat half of a 48-yuan fried chicken, then throw it into the trash can without batting an eye.

Now, if you give Lu Ye a fried chicken, he and Violet will suck the bones clean for you.

Chapter 16 Heavy Rain

A person's day can be either idle or very busy, but no matter what you do in a day, the last thing you always do is sleep and rest.

For Lu Ye and Violet, taking a bath is an essential activity before going to bed.

Taking a bath after dinner has become a routine.

Conventions are habits that cannot be easily changed.

Even Violet, who is so attached to Lu Ye, comes to the hot springs every single day without fail, and sometimes she even takes a bath after lunch... It's like I love taking a bath, even if it's a turtle falling down.

Lu Ye didn't seem to care much about this, since Violet really enjoyed playing in the water.

Immersing myself in the hot spring and feeling the comforting heat instantly relieved most of my fatigue.

Lu Ye and Violet sat side by side.

They had the island behind them, and in front of them, not far down, was the beach, and then the boundless sea.

As Lu Ye watched the last rays of the setting sun disappear into the horizon, a sudden sense of melancholy washed over him.

Just like how literary figures can't help but compose a poem when they see a beautiful scene, Lu Ye is also a bit of a literary youth.

Sometimes he likes to stand on the rooftop, watch the sunset sink into the city's edge, and take a picture of the scene with his phone.

The scenery here is so much better than in the city. Although he can't take pictures with his phone, he has someone to watch the sunset with.

He turned to look at Violet, whose eyes reflected the dim afterglow of the sunset and the faint starry sky.

Lu Ye always felt that Violet was a bit too rigid.

Whether studying or working, she is very serious, never slacking off or complaining. She is exactly the kind of employee that the boss likes the most. She is hardworking and never speaks ill of others behind their backs, nor does she ask for more pay because of increased working hours.

She already has such a cute face; she would be even cuter if she smiled more.

If only she could relax a bit more.

Of course, Lu Ye wasn't referring to physical relaxation, since the "home project" wasn't finished yet, and there was no way to relax if he wanted to.

He was referring to mental relaxation, such as watching movies or playing games when he was tired... although he does these things when he's not tired either.

However, there aren't many entertainment options available on the island; although it has mountains and water, that's about it.

How about making a beanbag or a soccer ball out of hay to play with?

No, this is no fun; I can't outmaneuver her.

Perhaps I could find some time to tell her a story?

After all, I've watched quite a lot of movies and read quite a few novels.

But what should we talk about, Yu Lou Chun or Jin Ping Mei?

Forget it, this is too exciting, even Lu Ye himself can't handle it!

First and foremost, it has to be a story that Violet can understand... so a children's film would be better.

Night Garden Babies?

No, it doesn't seem like it has much of a story to tell.

And apart from that guy who would rub soap on everyone's face all day long, Lu Ye didn't remember anything else.

What about Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?

That won't work either. The story is simple and easy to understand, but with so many episodes, how can I possibly remember anything?

Just as Lu Ye was deep in thought, his cheek was suddenly poked.

That was Violet. She removed her fingers from Lu Ye's face, palm up.

“Rain,” she said.

Lu Ye was startled, looked up, and felt a cool touch on her face.

“It really is raining…” Lu Ye murmured.

A dense drizzle fell from the sky.

At first, the drizzle wasn't even enough to wet our clothes.

But as the sun sank below the distant horizon, leaden clouds pushed in from the southeast, and the sky darkened within minutes.

A branching lightning bolt burst open in the black night sky, followed by a thunderclap. As if a floodgate had been opened, thousands of tons of rain poured down onto the earth.

"Not good..." Lu Ye's expression changed.

He grabbed Violet's hand and, without even putting on his clothes, rushed home.

So much processed wood, it would be a real problem if it got damp!

Half an hour later, after some rescue efforts, most of the timber was moved to the cave where they had lived before. A small portion was completely soaked, and given the intensity of the rain, it was estimated that it would rot and become infested with insects before it could dry.

Lu Ye and Violet sat by the campfire inside the cabin to warm themselves. Neither of them was wearing many clothes, as their wet clothes were being dried over the fire and they estimated they would be able to put them on in another three or four minutes.

The sound of piercing rain, accompanied by thunder, came from outside.

Despite having moved so much timber, Lu Ye couldn't fall asleep at all.

He was truly grateful that the little wooden house under his buttocks was completed on time and of good quality, with no leaks.

Otherwise, even if a fire were lit, the night in that cave would be very uncomfortable.

"The rain is heavy."

Violet said, her eyes reflecting the flickering flames.

She doesn't talk much, and it's hard to tell what emotions are behind her cold expression. Lu Ye can only occasionally see some feelings in her eyes.

However, if she took the initiative to talk to Lu Ye, then it proves that she was indeed bored at this time.

Lu Ye took the SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas down from above the fire, made sure they were dry, and then put them on Violet.

He himself was wearing the same "leather" outfit that Violet had worn before. Although it was a bit small, it was still quite warm after being simply processed from wool and sheepskin. However, it didn't look very neat, as it was all fluffy and a little bulky.

"Hey, want to hear a story?" Lu Ye asked.

“A story?” Violet looked at Lu Ye.

"Hmm, have you read that book before?"

Violet nodded.

"how do you feel?"

"See, it's not over yet."

This sentence actually means "I haven't finished watching it."

“Then I’ll tell you the story of McDull,” Lu Ye said.

“Mc...dou.” Violet repeated the word.

"Yes, that's a little pig... no, it's a person, a little kid... a very young person..."

As Lu Ye began to recount the story, he attempted to piece together the little pig's life using simple language and sentences.

Lu Ye didn't know if Violet could understand him, but she listened very attentively, as if every word he uttered was a treasure, a gem.

On a stormy night, with nothing to do, the two leaned against the fire. The girl listened to the boy tell stories, and warmth filled the small space. Amid the slight crackling of the firewood and the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves, the girl's eyelids gradually grew heavy.

Violet leaned on Lu Ye's shoulder and fell asleep.

Lu Ye gently combed through her hair and then gently laid it flat.

He knew Violet wouldn't understand much.

On the one hand, Violet has too little knowledge of the outside world, and on the other hand, Lu Ye's storytelling skills are not very good.

However, Lu Ye told this story not entirely because he was bored.

"Actually, I quite like McDull."

Lu Ye grabbed the bow and arrows from the wall and quietly stepped into the raging storm.

Chapter 17 The person with the cold seems to have made a mistake.

The rain was heavier than expected.

Lu Ye walked on the lush island, his feet sinking into the mud.

The surrounding vegetation was shaking violently due to the rain and storm, and the sound of the branches swaying and the raindrops hitting the leaves mingled together, creating an exceptionally noisy cacophony.

Visibility was low, but aside from the possibility of accidentally slipping and falling, Lu Ye wasn't worried about wild animals.

With rain this heavy, even a bear would have to stay quietly in a cave, right?

But he still carried a bow, partly out of caution.

Before leaving the cabin, Lu Ye took off the sheepskin covering the leather jacket and put it on, then put Violet's leather jacket over his head to shield himself from the rain.

But such heavy rain could not possibly be completely blocked by a piece of leather that barely qualifies as clothing, and coupled with the biting wind, even his lips were trembling.

Lu Ye reached the summit with great effort.
