Chapter 953: Chapter 1013
The water was brought over, and the two people devised a way to start boiling it over the fire.
Qiao Qiqi took out a piece of cured meat from her bag and sliced it into the pot, making the two swallow repeatedly.
The originally cold and hard cured meat slowly softened in the hot water, and the aroma spread, making them swallow even more frequently.
"It smells so good."
"I knew Miss Qiao was a good person."
Qiao Qiqi couldn’t be bothered with them. Meanwhile, the others came back, bringing back quite a few mushrooms.
Except for a few poisonous ones found by Tong Yue, the rest were edible, so Liu Yang washed the mushrooms and put them into the pot.
That day, they finally managed to eat a rare bowl of hot meat and vegetables.
Though only about sixty percent full, their bodies felt warm and much more comfortable.
Qiao Qiqi only had one tent, which she let Rong Yun sleep in, while she slept up in a tree.
In gratitude for Qiao Qiqi’s dinner, Liu Yang volunteered to stand guard at night.
Qiao Qiqi didn’t care about how they arranged things. Despite Rong Yun repeatedly disagreeing with her sleeping in a tree, she still found a tree to sleep in, leaving Rong Yun uneasy in the tent and sleeping bag.
The others slept by the fire. The temperature difference in the rainforest is immense, and it was very cold at night. Even cuddled together, they were still cold, but there was no choice; they had no tent or sleeping bags, as such items had been long lost.
The next day, they met the people who came to look for them.
Rong Yuan rushed over to Qiao Qiqi and Rong Yun upon seeing them, followed swiftly by the bodyguards behind him.
"Brother!" Rong Yun was particularly excited upon seeing his relative.
"Brother." Qiao Qiqi also flashed a smile.
Rong Yuan came over and hugged the two, finally calming his restless heart.
"Qiqi, I knew you’d find him." Rong Yuan held the two’s hands, his eyes couldn’t help but redden.
Having searched for them so many days, Rong Yuan had been worried constantly. Today, at last, his heart could rest easy.
The three siblings had many things to say, and Rong Yuan had driven in, so the three got into a car.
The others also benefited and could take a car out of the rainforest, all breathing a sigh of relief, finally rescued. Last night, they had been so cold that they thought they might really not make it out alive.
Rong Yun recounted the events of the past few days to his brother, and Rong Yuan frowned deeply, telling him not to take such unreliable variety shows again.
Rong Yun, having learned from experience, certainly wouldn’t do such foolish things anymore — there are many ways to repay favors, but he adamantly decided never to play with fools again.
Yao Yao was waiting outside for them. Seeing Rong Yuan really bring them back, she was very happy and dragged Qiao Qiqi to eat lots of tasty food.
If they were to return now, it would require almost a day’s and night’s flight, so the four decided to play around here for two days before going back.
The nearest city from here took about half a day’s drive, not too far.
That day, the four went to the city, checked into the best hotel at night, and enjoyed a buffet.
After eating and drinking their fill, Qiao Qiqi returned to the room to take a bath, and after charging her phone, she turned it on to see numerous missed calls, mostly from Gu Shili.
She hadn’t informed him about this trip, so he must have been worried, unable to reach her.
Thinking about it, Qiao Qiqi dialed back.
But she forgot that she was taking a bath!
Thus, the first thing Gu Shili saw was the girl amidst the mist, and although only her collarbone was visible, it was enough to leave him shocked.
