Chapter 703: Love Takes Root (148)
Thankfully, the past few days have been sunny, with the ground covered in dry branches and leaves.
Thinking of the branches, Long Tianjiao plans to gather more and pile them under the tree house for use when it’s raining or snowing and impossible to make a fire for cooking or making tea.
Over two hours later, Antonio returns and finds that she not only covered the floor inside the tree house with a thick layer of leaves but also gathered a lot of firewood.
This rich young lady, pampered from childhood, gained more respect from him.
"You are stronger than I imagined."
"It’s out of necessity," Long Tianjiao said, seeing the fish in his hands already cleaned, and suggested, "I’ll start a fire, and you can skewer these fish on branches. We’ll roast and eat them."
"Okay."

After more than ten days, the news of flight X587’s crash gradually faded from the minds of netizens and the public.
However, for those families who lost their loved ones, these ten-plus days have been like living in hell, which is unbeknownst to anyone.
None of the retrieved items from the crash included anything related to Antonio and Long Tianjiao.
Liang He lost seven or eight kilograms shockingly quickly within just a few days, hardly able to eat anything, but he had to continue with the contracts he had signed.
The drama "Chun Jiao" hadn’t started its promotion yet, because its lead actress became widely known after dying in the X587 plane crash.
Liang He hasn’t tweeted again, but there have been many fan messages under the tweet he posted over ten days ago.
His primary concern now is who the real murderer is.
To outsiders, it’s absolutely certain that the pilot is the murderer.
However, only Liang He and a few others know that the real murderer is definitely not the pilot.
As the investigation revealed, the pilot didn’t suffer from depression, impulsiveness, or suicidal thoughts.
Both his family and friends thought of him as an optimistic person with a newborn son and a harmonious relationship with his wife.
Such self-sacrificing actions clearly require a motive.
He had no motive for this incident.
This premeditated and sudden event caused Liang He devastating damage.
He dared not return to the home he shared with Long Tianjiao; he couldn’t bear to look at her photos, as just seeing them would make him uncontrollably weep.
It had been a long time since Liang He spent time with his parents, but following this incident, he moved back into the Liang family’s old house.
His mood was extremely suppressed.
His mood was such, and others were hardly any better.
Long Yubei spent several days in a row investigating this disaster.
Yet, he found nothing.
Just when he was at a dead end, Long Yubei repeatedly listened to the messages the pilot sent to the control station.
Suddenly, he thought of Rong Xiuxiu.
Comparing the way Rong Xiuxiu spoke with the pilot’s manner of speaking.
A chill ran through him, finding them eerily similar.
After discussing this suspicion with Gu Lili, she also felt it wasn’t impossible.
"Given Rong Xiuxiu’s vindictive nature, she surely harbors a grudge from when you tied her at the cliff’s edge as a warning. She’s definitely holding that against you, unable to get back at you, and without a chance to hurt me or the children. It’s not impossible she targeted your family, but these are just our speculations. We still need evidence to prove whether it was her doing."
Long Yubei felt her point was valid, "Then I must confirm it."
Gu Lili stopped him, "How will you confirm? Will you go to Youyou Valley to find her? It’s probably not so easy to access now."
