Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 167

Jiang Luoluo took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the corner of Shou's clothes, and followed Shou towards Yuan's cave.

Yuan probably anticipated this and was prepared. When he heard footsteps at the door, he immediately rushed out.

"Shou, I already told you you don't need to send it anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan saw Shou and Luo, the cub beside him holding onto his clothes, and his voice was immediately cut off.

Shou scratched his head awkwardly, "Well... this child came alone, saying she had something she wanted to talk to you about, so I came with her."

Perhaps because he had unknowingly let Jiang Luoluo get a lot of information out of him yesterday, Yuan's expression became somewhat awkward when he looked at Jiang Luoluo today.

It's that feeling of guilt when someone finds out your little secret.

Yuan hastily responded, "Ah... um."

Seeing this, Shou was at a loss and could only point at Jiang Luoluo and say, "Well, I've already brought her back. You two can talk now."

Shou took a step back and was about to turn and leave when he realized that the two prey he had caught were still in his hands. So he took another step forward and quickly stuffed the prey in his hand into Yuan's hand.

"Um... this is for you."

After saying that, Shou turned around and tried to run away.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a pulling force.

Looking back, he saw Jiang Luoluo, who had been holding onto his clothes and hadn't let go.

Jiang Luoluo gave a wronged look, as if to say, "Are you going to abandon me?" She pouted, as if to say, "Didn't you just promise me you'd stay with me?" Her bright eyes glistened with tears.

Shou felt a pang of guilt and pulled back his steps. Remembering that he had indeed promised to stay with the cub, he closed his eyes, stiffly turned around to face Yuan again, but dared not look up and meet Yuan's gaze.

Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo spoke up at this moment.

"Yuan, Shou just said he was worried about my safety walking alone and offered to take me home later. Can we go in together now?"

While Yuan was still at a loss for how to react, he subconsciously nodded, then turned around and led the two people into the cave.

Shou followed stiffly, taking steps to keep up.

So Jiang Luoluo followed the two absent-minded people into the cave.

Given that both of them were out of sorts and had their own anxieties, Jiang Luoluo naturally took care of herself after entering the cave.

Among a pile of discarded stones from the stone tools Yuan used to make, he found a stone of similar size, moved it out to use as his little stool, and sat down obediently beside it.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo like this, Shou should have realized that all those things she said about being afraid were just lies.

Unfortunately, Shou's attention was entirely focused on Yuan at this moment, and he had no time or energy to check on Jiang Luoluo's situation.

Yuan actually had a lot to say to Shou, but because Jiang Luoluo was there, she seemed inexplicably shy.

Perhaps he felt that there were many things he couldn't say directly to Jiang Luoluo, or perhaps he felt that he had shared too many of his thoughts with Jiang Luoluo yesterday and was a little embarrassed to repeat them.

It felt like opening up to a stranger in a taxi, venting about your experiences, only to find out the next day that the stranger was your classmate, someone you'd be seeing frequently in the future.

It was so embarrassing that you wanted to disappear into the ground.

However, the two of them weren't exactly like innocent little boys and girls who were too shy to even say a word to each other.

They were all adults, and after calming down a bit, they started to communicate normally.

"Shou, you don't need to send these things over anymore." Yuan placed the two prey pieces aside, ready to have an open and honest talk with Shou.

Yuan tried to put on a stern face, but unfortunately, after what had just happened, even if she put on a cold face now, it would have no effect.

Upon hearing this, Shou scratched his head and remained silent, but it was clear that his silence meant he did not intend to heed Yuan's words.

Sometimes it's easier to persuade someone who can argue back, because their rebuttal shows they can be swayed by words. But the person who remains silent and doesn't try to defend themselves is the hardest to persuade.

This shows that he is determined enough that he doesn't care about other people's opinions, nor is he prepared to make others accept his ideas.

Yuan also understood what kind of person Shou was, and knew that he had not convinced him. He was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry.

Jiang Luoluo had just moved a rock of similar size to herself to use as a small stool. After sitting down, she obediently watched the two interact, as if watching a play.

Yuan was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the cub Luo watching the show from the side. So he swallowed his angry words to Shou.

Some things are fine to say between two people, but they become strange when an observer suddenly appears.

But Yuan had no choice but to continue, shifting the topic from Shou to Jiang Luoluo.

"Speak, what brings you here today?"

Jiang Luoluo flashed a sweet and adorable smile, then dropped a bombshell: "I just went to build that place."
