"She's bleeding!"

Ran Mouri was startled and hurriedly took off his broken ring to check the wound.

The cut wasn't deep, it didn't damage any major blood vessels, and there wasn't much blood loss.

Qingze has never cared much about this kind of wound.

Clean the wound, bandage it, and you don't need to worry about it much.

But seeing Ran Mouri's furrowed brows, he didn't say anything and let her handle it.

"What's going on?"

Hearing Ran's voice, Sonoko poked her head out to look. "Is it serious?"

"It's nothing," Qingze said calmly.

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Aozawa's hand for a while. It wasn't a serious injury, but in just a short time, blood was already dripping down the lines of his palm.

"I'll go to the camp to get some alcohol swabs and bandages..."

Makoto Kyogoku, standing to the side, scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I hurt you..."

Although it's just a minor injury, I should apologize to Xiaolan since she seems so worried.

Qingze squinted, "You're making it sound like you've hurt me."

"Forehead……"

Kyogoku Makoto was at a loss for words.

Ran glared at Aozawa, who showed no concern for her wound.

Even if it doesn't hurt, you can't completely ignore a wound, right?

She carefully wiped away the blood that had flowed onto his palm with a handkerchief, and then removed the ring from his middle finger.

Why pick them?

"What if he gets hurt again?"

"I rarely bring my ring back, so if it's damaged, so be it."

"You can't do that, it will break my heart if you get hurt."

Qingze: "..."

"You're always worrying too much." He pulled his hand away, turned and walked towards the river. "Let's go back to fishing."

Ran Mouri quickly followed in his footsteps.

"It's still bleeding..."

"It will stop flowing soon..."

Sonoko rushed back with the things in her hands, "Ran, here."

Once back by the river, Ran Mouri forcefully pulled Aozawa's hand and carefully cleaned and bandaged his wound.

"Okay, be careful not to get the wound wet."

"Okay, go ahead and fish. The float keeps moving."

Qingze stared at the float for a while; it kept moving, looking like it had caught a big fish.

“Mr. Qingze, why don’t you lift the rod?” Ran Mouri offered.

"Okay." Qingze became interested.

Pull the lever to reel in the line.

The expectant look on their faces vanished as soon as they saw what flew out of the water.

He tossed the fishing rod back to Ran Mouri without a word and sat back down.

Ran Mouri never expected that what she caught was a black plastic bag.

She chuckled as she untied the plastic bag from the fishing hook.

Why is there trash in this river?

Giving up on letting Qingze fish, she re-hung her fishing rod and cast it again.

You don't have to wait long; fish will bite the hook every now and then, just like a fixed refresh.

Qingze was stunned.

"Mr. Qingze, look! This fish is huge!"

Ran Mouri picked up a 10-pound fish and proudly showed it off.

Qingze was sour, so he turned his back and chose to ignore it.

I can't see it, I can't see it!

Ran Mouri, carrying the fish, deliberately walked up to him again.

"Oh dear, this fish doesn't seem very bright..."

Qingze: "..."

Qingze changed direction again.

Ran Mouri took two more steps, the fish in her hand constantly swishing its tail.

"Mr. Qingze, look, this fish's mouth is so special, it actually bit my hook."

Qingze gritted his teeth, pulled down his sunglasses, and looked at her with a sinister gaze.

"Ran Mouri, do you remember how that corpse I fished up died?"

Ran Mouri looked up at the sky, whistled, and sat back down in her chair with the fish in her hand.

She released all the other fish in the bucket back into the river, then put the largest fish in the water alone. She then turned on the front camera, took a picture with the big fish in the bucket, and made a peace sign.

This is a special fish.

After typing those words, she posted a LINE status.

In no time, the post received several views, and comments popped up as soon as it was refreshed.

Vermouth: Who were you fishing with? You're amazing to catch such a big fish.

Conan: Where is Ran playing?

Subaru Okiya: Such a big fish, amazing.

Sera Masumi: What's so special about this fish? I don't see it.

Ran Mouri only answered Sera Masumi's question.

It was particularly special because it bit my hook.

After sending the message, Ran Mouri smiled and closed her phone.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the person next to her, who was also looking at their phone, the screen displaying the status update she had just posted.

He looked up, squinted, and gave her the middle finger.

They actually used his words to mock him.

Ran Mouri made a face.

Hehehe~

"You wait."

Qingze stood up, walked into the woods, and picked up a branch.

It's just a 10-pound fish, what's the big deal?

Watch him get an even bigger one!

After staring at the water for a while, he suddenly threw the branch in his hand, which plunged deep into the water and accurately pinned down a large fish.

He picked up Ran Mouri's fishing rod, flicked his wrist, and the fishing line nimbly wrapped around a tree branch.

With a forceful push, the large fish pierced by the tree branch flew into the air.

Holding the large fish that weighed over ten kilograms, Qingze raised his chin disdainfully.

"It's just a fish, isn't that an easy task?"

He simply disdains using such methods.

Ran Mouri clapped her hands with a smile as she watched the big cat tilt its head back.

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Chapter 224 What's the difference between not talking and talking?

Relaxed and enjoyable times always pass quickly. Ran Mouri felt like no time had passed, but the sun was already setting.

The fish I caught this morning were eaten for lunch; dinner tonight is barbecue.

The ingredients were from the campsite, including shrimp, fish, meat, and seafood.

Several people, holding tongs, sat around the grill and grilled food.

The sun has set, and a brief blues moment occupies the sky.

On the grill, the sizzling meat patties on the charcoal grill are so tempting that they make your mouth water.

Wow! That's great!

Yuanzi picked up a piece of grilled meat, put it in her mouth, and praised it highly.

"It's really good, the ingredients are all very fresh," Ran Mouri agreed as she ate.

Qingze didn't react to their words, fiddling with the shrimp in front of him.

The shrimp are cooked, and their bright red color looks incredibly tempting.

After placing the shrimp on a plate, Qingze showed no intention of grilling them any further.

"Does Mr. Qingze like to eat shrimp?"

Ran Mouri noticed his particular fondness for shrimp, and he asked her to buy shrimp several times.

"The shrimp tastes good."

When you lose your sense of taste, you can only appreciate the texture. Fresh shrimp is bouncy and firm, much better than other foods that have a chewy, waxy texture.

Ran Mouri tilted her head.

No, that's not all.

If you simply like it because it tastes good, why would you be so keen on eating shrimp while using her body?

"This won't be enough to fill you up, will it?"

"Just give me any of the extra you bake that you can't finish. I'm not picky."

"Is Mr. Aozawa going to cover for us?" Sonoko asked with a grin.

"Ah."

"Then I'll grill it as much as I want!"

Sonoko Suzuki let go, and the baking tray was instantly filled with food.

Aozawa slowly peeled the shrimp, while the two girls chatted about the barbecue, discussing all sorts of topics. Kyogoku Makoto would occasionally chime in with a few words, or express his confusion.

The air was filled with the aroma of charcoal fire, food, and a young girl's laughter.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that stars had already filled the heavens.

Seeing that Qingze's shrimp were almost gone, Maoli Ran picked up a few more and put them on his plate.

She leaned closer, her eyes blinking as she stared at the shrimp he had just peeled in his hand.

What are you doing?

Ran Mouri blinked her big eyes at him and said, "I want to eat."

Last time, she was used to feed the garden, and now she has to be fed too!
