NovelEnglishChapter 1197 When Alex was a kid, he had this ghe loved. Every the played, he'd swipe the rubber band from her hair and put it back when he was done. But man, his hair-tying skills sucked back then. He'd take it off, and her hair would be all neat, but when he put it back, it was always a hot mess. Twice, it even happened on the way to school, and she got laughed at by the other kids for having messy hair in class. While Quinn was still zoning out, Alex had already picked up the bird from the grass and gutted it right in front of her. Quinn snapped out of it and saw that the bird's feathers were plucked clean. She couldn't even tell what kind of bird it was. "What kind of bird is this?" she blurted out.
"No clue, as long as it's got meat." He quickly cleaned the bird, skewered it with a stick, and placed it over the fire to roast.
He then pulled out a small can of salt from his pocket and sprinkled it on the bird.
Quinn had a flash of doubt in her mind. She looked at Alex's pocket weirdly. It was pretty big. Having a rubber band was one thing, but salt too? "What else you got in your pocket?" she asked.
"A lot. Wanna feel around?" Alex teased.
Quinn instinctively shut her mouth. No matter how curious she was, she was too embarrassed to dig into his pocket.

"If you're full, I'm full," he said.
Quinn frowned and was about to tell him not to be stubborn when he added, "After all, just looking at your face makesfeel satisfied and full." For sreason, whenever Quinn heard him talk now, she always had the urge to throw whatever she was holding at his face.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, split the bird in half, and handed it to him, whether he wanted it or not. Alex said, "Looks like you still care about me." Quinn ignored him and continued eating the bird. The meat was super tough, not very tasty, and had a fishy smell.
After going out, she realized that the chicken legs she used to turn her nose up at were actually the best.
She forced herself to finish half of the bird.
Alex hadn't eaten his half and handed it to her. "Here." Quinn pushed it back, saying, "I don't want it. I'm full." "Are you really full or just worried aboutand wantto eat?" Alex teased.
Quinn glared at him. "Really!" It tasted so bad that half of it was enough to fill her up. Any more and she might throw up.
Seeing that she wasn't lying, Alex put a piece in his mouth and then spat it out.
"Really bad," he remarked.
Quinn pulled at the corners of her mouth and looked at him coldly.
Alex placed the half bird on a leaf and stopped eating.
"Aren't you hungry?" Quinn asked.
He hadn't eaten anything either, and he had fought with those coyotes and was seriously injured. Yet, he was still picky.

She saw him tear the bird meat into small pieces and scatter them in the river, then quietly waited.
Quinn was suspicious. The water didn't look great. Even if there were fish in it, could they be eaten?
Alex squatted by the water for about ten minutes without any movement. Quinn thought there probably weren't any fish in there. Unexpectedly, the next second, he suddenly stabbed the knife into the water. Quinn's eyes widened again.
Moments later, he cback with a fish. Now, Quinn was completely speechless.
He cleaned the fish, skewered it on a stick, and roasted it. "Looks like the water quality here is pretty good," he sighed. X Free Ultra High Definition Scroll Stopping Images Sponsored: www.Free-Al-ImagesRead Next Story >
His chill manner made Quinn feel like they were on a wilderness vacation rather than surviving in the wild. That is if they hadn't seen those wild n beasts yesterday and the two snakes just now.
