Chen Jie carefully placed these fruits on the ground and looked at Su Yun. She said solemnly, “If we eat compressed biscuits alone, we will run out of it in at most three days. I feel that according to the current situation, we can’t get out of here in three days, so we can only try to find some edible food. However, the trees here were very rare. I could not recognize most of them. These fruits are also the only ones I can confirm are edible. After all, in our situation, it’s better not to take any risks.”

Upon hearing that, Su Yun nodded. Chen Jie had indeed helped them solve a big problem. Although eating these fruits alone was not enough to fill his stomach, at least with compressed biscuits, it could greatly prolong the time of food exhaustion.

Although he did not know if he could completely escape with the time he had bought, there was at least a trace of hope!

Just as Chen Jie picked up a fruit and handed it to Su Yun, Su Yun noticed that Chen Jie’s arm had probably been cut in the forest. Hence, Su Yun quickly brought over a bandage and bandaged Chen Jie.

Su Yun grabbed Chen Jie’s hand. Although he only wanted to bandage Chen Jie’s wound and had no other thoughts, he still felt a special feeling when he touched her smooth and soft hands.

Chen Jie was the same. From just now until now, the blush on her dignified face had never faded. After Su Yun carefully bandaged her wound, he reminded her sternly, “Miss Chen Jie, you have to be careful. Once the wound is infected in the wild, it’s equivalent to a death sentence. I think as an archeologist, you should know very well.”

“I know. Why are you acting like Professor Sun at such a young age?” Chen Jie’s steady and mature personality had already begun to tease Su Yun. It was obvious that after these few days of interaction, she was already used to being with Su Yun.

“You didn’t let me call you Miss Chen. Now, you’re saying that I’m young?” Su Yun pretended to be dissatisfied with Chen Jie and deliberately dispelled the solemn and despairing atmosphere to ease both parties’ moods. He could not despair now. Otherwise, there would be no hope of survival.

“Calling me Miss Chen does make me look old. Although I’m only a few years older than you, I’m still older than you. If you’re willing, you can call me Sister.”

“Then forget it.”

The two of them chatted and laughed. Soon, they finished this simple but balanced breakfast. Of course, they had to be frugal with food because there were not many fruits. Once they did not escape for a long time, they would starve to death.

Su Yun and Chen Jie had already begun to become familiar with each other. The atmosphere between them was no longer so stiff. After resting for a while, Su Yun continued to repeat the seemingly boring training. Chen Jie sat quietly at the side and kept looking at him.

Su Yun’s actions were clearly very simple and there was no viewing to speak of, but Chen Jie seemed to be very serious. She held her chin with one hand and supported her glasses with one finger. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

After a day of training, Chen Jie prepared some fruits for Su Yun again. Under such limited conditions, such a dinner was already very rare. The two of them sat by the fire and ate and chatted. This was the only thing they could do to pass the time.

“I wonder how Professor Sun and the others are doing. Everything happened too suddenly at that time. I hope they can escape safely.” Chen Jie had been worried about Professor Sun and the others. After hearing this, Su Yun nodded. “That’s right. I hope they’re safe. After such a long time, they must be carrying out a search and rescue operation. However, the search and rescue was very difficult. We could not sit still and wait for death. I still have to think of a way to leave this place.”

Upon hearing that, Chen Jie quickly looked at Su Yun curiously. “Su Yun, can you really use a wooden saber to help us escape?”

Su Yun fell silent for a few seconds before sighing and shaking his head. “To be honest, I’m not sure now, but this is the only way we have at the moment, so I’ll definitely try my best.’

“I believe you.”

Chen Jie’s words caught Su Yun off guard. However, looking at Chen Jie’s serious gaze, Su Yun quickly smiled and nodded. The two of them had already begun to get along. When they sat by the bonfire, they were no longer as far apart as they had been a few days ago.

After dinner, the two of them sat by the bonfire and chatted. It was also at this moment that Su Yun truly understood Chen Jie.

“My goal since I was young was to be an archaeologist. I’ve also been working hard for this ideal. After applying for an archeology major in university, I studied professional knowledge and participated in various archeological operations in my spare time. I was only an intern at that time, it was not my place to do some technical work. However, after experiencing many things, I have indeed become what I am now. At the very least, every thesis I wrote was a conclusion I came to after experiencing it myself.”

Su Yun was a very qualified listener. He sat quietly at the side and nodded in agreement from time to time. Chen Jie suddenly looked at Su Yun seriously.. “What about you? Your life should be exciting, right?”
