Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

Afterwards, Jiang Zui informed the official of the specific area where the wild fruit was located, and also asked him for a fire tumbler before carrying the items to Qi Chen.

Qi Chen wanted to go to Jiang Zui as soon as he saw him, but he was blocked by a group of unimportant people. So he could only pout and sit there waiting for Jiang Zui to come over.

Seeing Jiang Zui approach, Qi Chen quickly stood up, his tone filled with reproach and worry as he said, "Why did you go out alone? It's so dangerous, and you didn't even tell me."

Jiang Zui put what he was holding on the ground and said, "Don't worry, what danger could I possibly be in?"

As he spoke, Jiang Zui took out five or six washed wild fruits from his pocket and handed them to Qi Chen. "Here, these are all I found. Have some for now, and I'll roast some sweet potatoes for you later."

"sweet potato?"

As a scion of a prominent family, Qi Chen had no idea what a sweet potato was.

Jiang Zui smiled and said, "Hmm? You'll find out in a bit."

Even though Qi Chen's stomach was growling with hunger, he didn't eat right away. Instead, he stared at Jiang Zui expectantly and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Zui had plenty of food in his space, so he naturally ate outside before coming back.

However, since the food couldn't be taken out, Qi Chen had to make do with it.

However, he wasn't the type to keep everything to himself.

Over the past month, I've secretly given Qi Chen quite a few snacks.

"I ate a few, and the rest were specially saved for you," Jiang Zui replied.

When Qi Chen heard that Jiang Zui had reserved it specifically for him, a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.

Then, fearing that Jiang Zui was lying to get her to eat it, she questioned, "Are you sure you ate it?"

Seeing Qi Chen's agitated state, Jiang Zui smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back after I finish eating."

Qi Chen gave Jiang Zui a deep look. Seeing that Jiang Zui wasn't lying, he felt reassured and picked up a wild fruit to eat in small bites.

Because Jiang Zui and Qi Chen were close to the cave entrance, Jiang Zui used a tinderbox and spent a lot of effort to light the damp firewood. Then, he put the three sweet potatoes he had found into the fire.

Suddenly, the dark cave was illuminated, causing everyone to look towards the light.

Ignoring the longing looks from the crowd, Jiang Zui had Qi Chen and the Qi family gather around the fire to warm themselves.

The cave was already damp, and the rain made it even more damp and cold.

Jiang Zui was soaked to the bone, and Qi Chen told him to sit down next to him and warm himself by the fire.

Qi Yi inquired about the situation outside, and Jiang Zui explained it to him.

After hearing this, Qi Yi, Qi Zhan, and Qi Ze went to find the officials and also went out to find food.

Actually, Jiang Zui had thought about bringing some wild fruits and sweet potatoes for the Qi family, but Jiang Zui was alone and had nowhere to put them. He could only manage to bring a pile of firewood and a few wild fruits and sweet potatoes.

Although he has space, it inevitably attracts too much attention.

However, the wild fruits he found were enough for Qi Chen and his father-in-law Yin Yue to eat, as well as three large sweet potatoes.

As for fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law, as men, they should earn their own living.

Jiang Zui looked at Qi Chen's face, reddened by the fire, her eyes filled with love. Afraid that Qi Chen would be shy, she leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Are you still cold?"

In an instant, Qi Chen blushed from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears. She vaguely recalled what she had said to Jiang Zui last night and said shyly, "I'm...I'm not cold anymore."

"Are you shy?"

Qi Chen: "..."

What do you say?

Knowing he's shy, you still say it so openly. Aren't you afraid he'll die of shame and indignation?

Jiang Zui: "Ah Chen, do you still remember how passionately you kept snuggling into my arms last night?"

Qi Chen: "..."

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale...

Hold back...don't get angry...

Jiang Zui looked at Qi Chen's face, which was almost burning red, and couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Ah Chen, it's been so long..."

Before Jiang Zui could finish speaking, Qi Chen raised his hand and covered Jiang Zui's mouth, his eyes filled with threat and implication, and he said through gritted teeth, "Husband, I think the sweet potatoes are almost ready, or... why don't you check if they're cooked?"

Ahhh, her father is right here, and her husband is so bold in flirting with her, he's really shameless.

The last and only time Jiang Zui and Qi Chen ever did this was on their wedding night.

For more than a month, the two of them have not found a suitable opportunity.

Jiang Zui, a man who had just lost his virginity, spent all day embracing his husband but was unable to move, which was incredibly torturous.

He could only focus his energy on teasing Qi Chen.

Despite being teased so many times, Qi Chen remained as shy as ever.

Jiang Zui felt happy every time he saw the shy Qi Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Zui knew he couldn't continue, so he pulled the sweet potatoes out of the fire, looked at them, and said, "They should be cooked by now."

As she spoke, she carefully peeled one of the sweet potatoes, blew on it, and held it to Qi Chen's lips, saying, "Try it, be careful it's hot."

Qi Chen had never eaten sweet potatoes before, but seeing their beautiful color, he slowly lowered his head, took a small bite, and immediately his eyes lit up. He exclaimed in surprise, "This... is so delicious, so sweet!"

"As long as it tastes good."

After saying that, he pulled out another one and gave it to Yin Yue. Yin Yue was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Zui insisted on giving it to him, so he accepted it and peeled it and ate it, just like Jiang Zui had done earlier.

Jiang Zui was afraid that Qi Chen would find it too hot, so he kept feeding him.

Jiang Zui only let Qi Chen hold the sweet potato when there was only one-third left.

Jiang Zui ate the last sweet potato.

Yin Yue and Qi Chen, being boys, each ate a sweet potato and were full.

After the three finished eating the sweet potatoes, the firewood that Jiang Zui had brought was almost burned out. Jiang Zui watched Qi Chen and Yin Yue talk and occasionally chimed in.

Just then, Jiang Zhou walked up to Jiang Zui and said calmly, "Father is looking for you."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Jiang Zui's reply.

Even though Jiang Zhou concealed it well, Jiang Zui still saw the anger in the other person's eyes.

Jiang Zui gave Qi Chen a few instructions and then went to the area occupied by the Jiang family.

Although the cave is very large, it follows a first-come, first-served rule; whoever finds it first can choose their spot.

At first, everyone was afraid of their hands getting cold and didn't want to be at the cave entrance.

The Jiang family was no exception; because Jiang Hongsheng and Jiang Zhou were skilled in martial arts, they chose the innermost spot.

Jiang Zui didn't want to get involved with the Jiang family, so he chose a spot near the cave entrance.

The Jiang family had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Zui, and they knew that when Jiang Zui returned, he was carrying a bunch of things.

Jiang Hongsheng thought that if Jiang Zui found something good, he would give it to him immediately. However, half an hour had passed and Jiang Zui was nowhere to be seen.

With Liu Yu and Jiang Li egging him on, Jiang Hongsheng finally sent Jiang Zhou to find Jiang Zui.

When Jiang Zui arrived, Jiang Hongsheng looked serious and said coldly, "I heard... you went out to find food? Did you find any?"
