Yang Xiu’s eyes widened and she subconsciously glanced at Nan Ye.

“No, I’m not. I’m just afraid of entering the forest alone…”

Seeing Yang Xiu peeking at Nan Ye, Nan Xi became even more unhappy. She twisted her arm and pushed her into the forest. “You still want to seduce my brother?! You really have no shame! Hurry up and find something to eat, or I’ll throw you into the forest and let you fend for yourself!”

Yang Xiu did not dare to resist anymore and could only leave with tears in her eyes.

The two of them waited for more than an hour. When Yang Xiu returned, she only brought back two seagull eggs. She had risked her life to steal them from the cliff.

Nan Xi’s face darkened when she saw the two small seagull eggs. “There are only two. How are we supposed to eat them?”

“There’s still a lot on the cliff over there, but I can’t get it. Maybe we can go together next time…”

Yang Xiu tried to explain.

“Alright, shut up! Hurry up and cook it for me.” Nan Xi was frustrated.

Hence, Nan Ye used wood to start a fire. He then placed the seagull eggs directly on the fire and began to roast them.

Nan Xi was waiting by the fire for the seagull eggs. Yang Xiu was about to sit down when she shouted, “What are you doing here? These are just two eggs. third brother and I will each have one. Don’t even think about eating it!”

“But I found them.” Yang Xiu was also very hungry. She felt so wronged that she was about to cry.

Nan Xi couldn’t care less. She chased Yang Xiu away, rubbed her hands, and waited.

However, a few minutes later, just as Nan Xi was about to move the roasted seagull egg out with a small stick, it suddenly exploded.

With a splash, the egg liquid and eggshell splashed, and some of them splashed on Nan Xi’s face and legs, making her scream. “Ah!”

“Little Xi! Are you alright?” Nan Ye hurriedly came over to check on the situation. Yang Xiu also came over.

“It’s burning me to death!” Nan Xi slapped away the liquid on her body. When she saw Yang Xiu, she was so angry that she slapped her.”You did it on purpose, didn’t you?! You’re trying to hurt me on purpose!”

Yang Xiu’s eyes widened.

“You lowly person, you clearly knew that the bird eggs would explode if you roasted them like this, but you didn’t warn us. You just wanted me to have nothing to eat and to be scalded!” Nan Xi’s chest heaved up and down violently. She was furious when she saw the seagull egg that could have reached her mouth explode.

“I really didn’t know it would explode. This is the first time I’ve seen a bird egg roasted like this.” Yang Xiu covered her face and defended herself.

“You still dare to quibble? Why am I the one who was scalded instead of you? You’re trying to harm me. I’m going to kill you!” Nan Xi was furious. She raised her hand and moved to hit Yang Xiu again.

“Enough! Stop fooling around, Little Xi!” Nan Ye frowned and stopped Nan Xi.

“Third brother, what are you doing?” Nan Xi looked at Nan Ye’s actions in confusion.

Nan Ye took a deep breath. He felt that the current Nan Xi was very different from the past. The Nan Xi of the past was gentle, sensible, kind, and naive, but the Nan Xi he saw just now was not only mean in every way, but she also wanted to hit people.

“Little Xi, I think you’re different from before. You used to be very good, but now you’ve become a little unfamiliar to me.” Nan Ye said truthfully. He let go of Nan Xi’s hand and looked at her in disappointment.

“Third brother, I, I was just too angry.” Nan Xi stuttered and said pitifully, “I’m doing this for your sake, third brother. When I saw that the egg was ruined, I was worried that you wouldn’t have anything to eat. That’s why I panicked. You don’t understand me. I’m so sad, sob…”

Nan Ye scratched his head. “Little Xi, don’t be sad. Third brother didn’t mean it that way.”

Nan Xi squeezed out her tears and sobbed, “I’m doing this for third brother’s good, but third brother is questioning me. I might as well just die on this island!”

Nan Ye panicked when he saw Nan Xi crying. He quickly comforted her, “Third brother was wrong! Third brother would never say such things again! Little Xi, don’t cry.”

Nan Xi burrowed into Nan Ye’s arms. Over Nan Ye’s shoulder, she glared at Yang Xiu hatefully, scaring her so much that she staggered.

“I don’t want to see her anymore. She’s the one who made third brother suspect me!”

Nan Ye quickly waved at Yang Xiu. “Go away.”

Therefore, Yang Xiu could only walk to a tree far away from the two of them and wait, watching the brother and sister hugging each other from afar.
