Chapter 69: The Cowardly Little Fatty

The little fatty was not as relaxed as she was. There were cuts all over his body, and the most serious was his ankle, which was swelling up.

Xiao Ying helped the little fatty sit against the wall while she scanned their surroundings. When she saw a patch of green herbs at the entrance of the cave, her eyes lit up.

She picked a bunch of herbs, which were coincidentally useful for reducing swelling and pain.

She returned to the little fatty’s side, took off her coat, and used a rock to tear the edge into strips.

Xiao Ying chewed the medicinal herbs into a paste and placed it onto the little fatty’s ankle, then wrapped it with the strips of cloth.

The little fatty had not made a sound since they fell from the cliff. Xiao Ying looked at him worriedly and asked, “Are you okay? Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere else?”

The little fatty did not answer, moving his body with difficulty towards the inside of the cave.

Xiao Ying thought that he was in pain and placed her hands on his shoulders to stop him from moving. “You can’t move around now. Be good. It won’t hurt anymore later.”

The little fatty was not used to interacting so closely with others, and his entire body stiffened.

Xiao Ying only thought that he was in pain and asked, “Is it very painful?”

This time, the little fatty shook his head.

His stomach growled again, and he lowered his head, his face flushed.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Ying’s stomach growled as well.

Hearing some noise, the little fatty looked up.

Xiao Ying raised her head and said, “What are you looking at? Of course my stomach growls when I’m hungry.”

Her carefree words caused a hint of envy to flash through the little fatty’s eyes.

Xiao Ying looked around and saw the lunch box on the ground. She smiled and said, “Little Fatty, you really have good foresight. You knew that we would be hungry so you even brought the lunch box with you when we fell.”

Fortunately, Xiao Ying used a lunch box with a lid. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to eat it if it fell.

She picked up the lunch box and brushed the dirt off with a leaf.

Then, she sat down beside the little fatty and opened the lid. The aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

The little fatty’s nose twitched subconsciously.

Xiao Ying took a deep breath and sighed. “Indeed, when one is hungry, food is extra delicious.”

Placing the lunch box between the two of them, she invited the little fatty to eat with her.

The little fatty hesitated for a long time before reaching out to pick up a piece of roasted meat.

The two children were eating happily. When the little fatty saw the sweet smile on Xiao Ying’s face, he was dazed.

Seeing that the little fatty had food in his mouth but wasn’t chewing, Xiao Ying smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The little fatty jumped in fright and began coughing violently.

Xiao Ying patted his back anxiously. There was no water in this cave.

Fortunately, he recovered soon, but he stopped eating the roasted meat.

Xiao Ying glanced at the little amount of roast meat left in the lunch box and came to a realization. She hadn’t expected this little fatty to be such a gentleman.

Xiao Ying finished the roasted meat in her hand and deliberately said, “Aiya, I’m so full.”

Noticing that the little fatty was looking at the remaining roast meat in the lunch box, Xiao Ying secretly smiled.

Placing the lunch box in the little fatty’s arms, she said, “Eat the rest. Otherwise, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

The little fatty looked at Xiao Ying seriously and began eating.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, “That’s right. Only when you’re full will your body recover.”

The little fatty paused. This was the first time someone had shown they cared about him.

This cave was too high. They could not get out by themselves.

They could only wait for someone to save her. If Shen Meijia did not see her return, she would definitely tell the teacher.

Xiao Ying gathered anything that could provide warmth from the cave. Seeing the little fatty shivering, she covered him with her coat.

The little fatty opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying did not understand his expression, but she still smiled at him and said, “I’ll give this to you.”
