The lunch is not rich, there is no soup for one meat and two vegetables. If it is placed in Ning You's house, it can be said to be rudimentary.

But have to admit that Li Mu's craftsmanship is really good, the saltiness is moderate, and the spiciness is just right, which perfectly suits Ning You's taste.

After eating a few chopsticks, Ning You's phone suddenly vibrated twice. He picked up the phone to unlock it, and found that it was a WeChat message from Li Chao.

[Li Chao: Eat big plate chicken at noon, how about you? 】

As long as the mobile phone is still around, it will never be possible to isolate yourself from the world.

Ning You did not refuse to chat with Li Chao, he turned on the camera of his mobile phone, and was about to take pictures of the food on the table in a polite manner, but at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Mu slowing down the speed of eating, in a kind of manner. He looked at him blankly.

Those eyes seemed to say: Have a meal and take pictures, is there something wrong with you people in the city?

"No, I'll show it to my friends."

Ning You quickly pressed the shutter button, but before he could click send, she heard Li Mu say, "Boyfriend."

This topic is too jumpy, Ning You didn't know how to react for a while, and asked in a daze: "What?"

"Who will send lunch to ordinary friends?" Li Mu said casually.

Ning You subconsciously wanted to refute, because many people in his circle of friends shared his food.

But thinking about it carefully, what's on the table now is nothing but ordinary home-cooked food, and it didn't come from him, so he really had no reason to share it.

Coming to this conclusion, Ning You was unwilling to be defined by Li Mu, and he imagined several other situations, but in fact, as Li Mu said, no matter who he shared this ordinary lunch with, are not necessary.

Only lovers or ambiguous objects will do such fussing things.

"Not a boyfriend." Ning You silently deleted the picture and replied "home cooking" in the dialog box.

In fact, with the relationship between him and Li Chao, it is completely possible to share lunch with each other, but after the essence of this matter was defined by Li Mu, perhaps out of rebellious psychology, Ning You felt a sense of resistance, because the fiance of the business marriage did not Not equal to his real boyfriend, Li Mu didn't guess right at this point.

Wanting to justify it, Ning You felt it was unnecessary.

Looking at Li Mu's appearance, it was obvious that he just said a few words casually, and was not interested in his love life.

It was another thing that made Ning You a little concerned.

Li Mu opened his mouth to be his boyfriend, indicating that he saw Ning You's orientation. Ning You didn't hide it on purpose, he didn't feel much surprised, but for the first time in the past two days, he was curious about Li Mu's orientation.

This rough guy must be a straight man of steel, right?

After lunch, Ning You took the initiative to clean up the tableware.

While he was washing dishes, Li Mu kept busy in the yard, preparing food for Hari at one time, weeding and fertilizing the vegetable garden at the same time, and the thing that caught Ning You's attention for a long time was... shoveling cow dung for the big ox.

Ning You once again refreshed her understanding of Li Mu. Isn't this person afraid of getting dirty at all?

As soon as the shovel went down, the cow dung was shoveled up like mud. Ning You felt novel—after all, he had never seen this scene before, and at the same time felt complicated—he is a clean-obsessed person, so he could watch it without any discomfort. Man shovels cow dung.

But after staying here for two days with Li Mu, Ning You had already begun to wonder if she was a fake cleanliness addict.

The afternoon sun shines unobstructed into the yard, and the strong wind blows the clothes on the clothesline high. Li Mu was very focused when he was working, maybe because he felt it was too hot, he took off his thick coat and wore a plaid shirt on his upper body, exactly like the one that Ning You wore around his waist.

Ning You was not very proficient in washing dishes, and from time to time he would peek at Li Mu through the window, so he had to wash several dishes in the sink for a long time.

When Li Mu had finished his work, Ning You had just wiped off the water droplets on the plate.

Li Mu had no plans to take a lunch break. He packed up his work utensils and was about to leave after riding Ha Ri. At this time, Ning You came to the door of the cabin and stopped him: "Li Mu."

Li Mu grabbed the reins and looked back at Ning You.

"Can I sleep in the bed when you're not around?" Ning You asked.

Li Mu has never been particular about these things. He doesn't mind other people sleeping on his bed, but seeing Ning You wearing his clothes and her calves shining white in the sun, he said, "No."

Ning You was a little disappointed. He didn't sleep well last night and wanted to take a nap. He thought that Li Mu was not at home, so he could sleep in the bed, but Li Mu didn't agree.

He asked again, "Then can I go on a mountain tour with you?"

Li Mu still answered in the same way: "No."

Ning You pouted the corners of his mouth and said dullly, "Then you should pay attention to safety."

It was just Ning You's whim to follow Li Mu to the mountains. Since he was stuck here and couldn't get out, he might as well take this opportunity to open his eyes.

But this idea is really not realistic. He can't go to the mountains with his bare bottom, and he doesn't want to come into contact with that wild species again with his bare bottom.

After Li Mu left, Ning You honestly took a nap on the floor.

When he woke up, the sun was still dazzling outside the window, and his legs were still sore as always. However, the mood after a full sleep is different, and the soreness of both legs has become irrelevant.

Turning on the phone and looking at it, there is no message or call. This feeling is very strange, but unexpectedly makes people feel comfortable.

Ning You opened the door of the cabin and wanted to see how the clothes were doing, but just as he took a step, he found a small thing wriggling by the wooden fence not far away.

The clump looked dirty, like it had rolled around in the mud.

It was only after Ning You approached that she realized that the dirty thing turned out to be a little fox.

No matter how unfamiliar Ning You is with small animals, he can still see that something is wrong with this little fox. The fur on his body is bald, and there seems to be pus flowing from the corners of his eyes.

This was the first time Ning You encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it. He had never come so close to a healthy fox, let alone that the little fox was obviously sick.

After being at a loss for a while, Ning You finally chose to call Li Mu.

The little fox was not afraid of people at all, and when Li Mu rushed back from the outside without stopping, it stayed by Ning You's side obediently.

"Li Mu, come and have a look." Before Li Mu got off his horse, Ning You shouted impatiently, "Does it want us to help it?"

Li Mu walked over quickly, only glanced at the little fox, picked it up from the ground, and said to Ning You, "I'll take it down the mountain to find a veterinarian."

"Are you going on a horse?" Ning You asked after Li Mu.

"Drive." Li Mu said.

"Then I'm going too." Ning You said.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Ning You's bare calf. Ning You immediately understood what Li Mu meant and said, "I'll just stay in the car and won't get out."

"Then hold it." Li Mu said and shoved the little fox over, and Ning You looked at the dirty fur, and he didn't accept it for a while, but he finally overcame his heart. He resisted and took the little fox into his arms.

The warm body temperature came from her hand, aside from the experience of learning to ride a horse when she was a child, Ning You had a real feeling for small animals for the first time in so many years.

"Is it all right?"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup, Ning You put the little fox on his lap. The little fox's condition was really bad. Ning You had no feelings for small animals at all, but looking at the little fox lying on his lap, he still felt a little worried.

"It's hard to say." Li Mu started the car, "Let's take it down to see, Chang Lin's daughter is a veterinarian."

The drive from the mountains to the village took less than five minutes in total.

The pickup ended up at the gate of a wooden house where a woman of indistinguishable age was playing with a collie.

"Dolan, show me the fox."

Li Mu walked into the yard with the little fox in his arms. The Dolan he mentioned should be Lin Chang's daughter. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Chang's, and his cheeks also had the same plateau red.

Ning You didn't get out of the car, he looked into the yard through the car window, and saw Dolan checked the little fox, then frowned and shook his head at Li Mu.

Li Mu's face became obviously gloomy, he and Dolan chatted a few more words, and finally left the little fox there and returned to the car by himself.

"Is it okay?" Ning You asked.

Li Mu didn't answer, started the car, turned around and drove up the mountain.

Ning You couldn't help but stretched his neck and looked back, until he could no longer see the little fox, he retracted his head and asked Li Mu, "Is it seriously ill?"

"Yeah." Li Mu replied without expression.

"What's the disease?" Ning You asked.

"Kidney failure." Li Mu said.

"Why?" Ning You asked in surprise.

"Most likely it was food fed by tourists."

This is a field that Ning You has never dealt with before, he asked uncertainly: "Can't they eat human food?"

"No." Li Mu frowned and said, "Animals are different from humans, they can't eat very salty things."

Ning You could clearly feel that Li Mu was angry, although he knew that Li Mu's anger was definitely not aimed at him, but he still shut his mouth consciously.

"I don't know why some people always like to feed wild animals," Li Mu continued, "Is it so easy to feel satisfied with alms?"

Ning You always felt that Li Mu was not a person with a lot of emotional ups and downs, but obviously this incident made him unable to restrain his emotions.

"Is there any help for the little fox?" Ning You couldn't help asking.

"No." Li Mu said, "When it dies, Dolan will find a place to bury it."

Ning You was dumbfounded.

He had just hugged the little fox, and its body temperature seemed to remain in his palm.

He looked at his hands and realized for the first time that man and nature are not an easy proposition.

"Li Mu." Ning You looked away from her hands and looked at the people around her, "Why are you a forest ranger?"
