"You do it."
Flossie Wright simply stood up and threw two bamboo chopsticks to Sandy Cruz.
After glancing at her, Sandy’s lips twitched slightly, and for the sake of his own breakfast, he decided to take over the mess.
If he really couldn’t stomach it, the one who would suffer in the end would be him.
Picking up a piece of wild boar meat, Sandy examined it carefully by the light of the fire, noting the half-charred, half-raw state of the meat, which made his eyes darken abruptly.
"How did you manage this?"
Sandy couldn’t help but ask.
Turning her head to the side, Flossie pondered for a moment before finding an excuse, "The heat wasn’t right."
Sandy could hardly bear to look at her.
The heat wasn’t right, could it burn to this extent?
It’s really deadly.
It was said that she used to be a cook.
With such cooking skills, one wonders how many people she could have killed.
Even with prior mental preparation for Flossie Wright’s culinary skills from the night before, Sandy still couldn’t help but regard her with new respect upon witnessing the result.
A moment later, Sandy picked up another piece to examine, but eventually, unable to tolerate any more, his sharp eyes swept toward Flossie, "Didn’t you flip it even once before now?"

"..." Flossie appeared somewhat astonished, "Should I have flipped it?"
Sandy silently withdrew his gaze.
He straight up threw the two pieces of wild boar meat away.
It wasn’t that he had never suffered.
Since joining the military, he had undergone all kinds of training, hardships intentionally created by the instructor.
To him, that really wasn’t much.
Flossie Wright was a miraculous being, always managing to impress in the most unexpected ways.
Having eaten her food, Sandy feared he would end up hungry.
Better to waste food than endure that.
Standing to one side, Flossie pondered for a while and ultimately didn’t protest.
Burnt to that extent, indeed there was no point in eating it.
Still, it felt like a bit of a waste.
Flossie felt that if she continued to be with Sandy in the future, he would definitely not give her another chance to roast any food.
After thinking about it, Flossie sighed softly and sat down on a rock beside Sandy.
She had to admit, Sandy was indeed a very particular and meticulous person.
By the campfire, a circle of stones not only prevented rainwater from getting in but also protected the fire from being blown out by the night wind.
And the rocks they were sitting on now had also been moved by him to avoid their having to sit on the ground.
Twenty minutes later—
Two cooked pieces of wild boar meat landed in both their hands.
"Eh." After taking a bite, Flossie suddenly looked at Sandy.
Sandy turned his head to look at her.
"You’ve improved," Flossie said with narrowed eyes.
Sandy responded lazily.
Practice makes perfect.
Being a bit inexperienced the first time, the second time one could learn from the mistakes, assuming one had a brain and coordinated hands and feet.
Of course, for someone like Flossie Wright, it seemed she would probably never get it right.
After all, she could whimsically defy the normal rules even when roasting meat.
The two of them took ten minutes to finish their breakfast.
By then, the sky was already getting light.
They took some wild boar meat with them, and covered the rest on the "bed" with plantain leaves.
The two of them left.
Without discussion, they tacitly moved forward together.
After all, if the one following you isn’t an encumbrance, but someone who can help you at times, no one would prefer to be alone in such a place.
Especially since neither of them was a loner.
