Chapter 137 Fruit
The next day, Nanshan and Chiran didn't come, and Yuchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He could have a good day with Xiaoxiao today.
He was very familiar with the process and was reserved for a while, then turned into a black panther and lay on the bed, secretly glancing at Lu Xiaoxiao, hinting her to come up and comb his hair.
Lu Xiaoxiao just picked up her hair comb and walked over with a smile, but Yuchuan's gaze froze and he looked out the door with a grin.
At this moment, four orcs have gathered outside the door, and they are roaring: "Yuchuan! Yuchuan! Let's play too!"
Yuchuan thought, Nanshan, you have a big mouth!!!
Lu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned. She had never felt that Yuchuan was so popular in the tribe. Yesterday it was considered a brotherhood gathering, so what was today?
"Yuchuan! Yuchuan!" There was a lot of chatter outside, and it was easy to tell who was who. Lu Xiaoxiao listened for a while and accepted the answer that she probably didn't know any of them.
Nanshan was really innocent in being blamed, he was a big talker but what he talked about were all insignificant. To be honest, he could see that Yuchuan didn't want them, his brothers, to disturb his and his partner's world of two, so he and Chiran had no plan to come again today.
As for these people... I don't know where they heard the rumor from. If Nanshan was present, he would definitely put his five fingers together and swear: this rumor definitely did not come from him!
I swear to God, he went back home and fell asleep last night!
Chi Ran is even more impossible, he is too lazy to talk much with the people in the tribe.
But at this time, Yuchuan, who knew nothing about this, directly blamed the mistake on Nanshan. He yelled and told them to go back quickly.
This isn't a place for fun, can he have some sense of boundaries?
The people outside were still trying to struggle, but Yuchuan yelled again and then things quieted down.
"Is this okay?" Lu Xiaoxiao is a person who cares about group life. Yuchuan has finally gotten close to everyone. If he is so ruthless, will it make others think too much?
"This is your tree house, and it's also my territory. It's wrong for them to come here without inviting them." Yuchuan turned back into a teenager and stood up to look outside. The people at the door had already left and didn't stay nearby. "And I don't need to tolerate others to get along."
Yuchuan understood very early on that people need to gather together, but they don't necessarily need to go deep into the hunting ground. As long as they can work as a team when the hunting team organizes a hunt, nothing else matters.
Yuchuan has a cold and sensitive personality. He can sense what Lu Xiaoxiao means. It would be fine if he had to endure it alone, but why should he ask her to endure it together? He does not need to please others to gain recognition.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that she was thinking in the wrong direction. It would be wrong to insist on integrating by sacrificing herself.
She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."
She subconsciously thought of Yuchuan in a low position, thinking he was still a child.
Yuchuan looked at her strangely: "It's not your fault. You shouldn't apologize to me."
Lu Xiaoxiao still felt that she was wrong. Yuchuan was already an adult and she shouldn't interfere too much with him.
"Comb the fur?" Yuchuan jumped back onto the bed and turned into a big leopard, wagging his tail and looking expectantly.
Lu Xiaoxiao readily agreed and happily jumped over to pet the big cat.
The deafening snoring sounded throughout the tree house, and Yuchuan's eyes narrowed in happiness.
The rainy season is indeed the best.
*
No one knew how this group of people knew that there was something interesting happening at Yuchuan's house, but several waves of people came one after another, and Yuchuan did not receive them. It was Nanshan who somehow found out and came over to scold them, and then they gradually calmed down.
Nanshan was speechless. Maybe these people had very good hearing and heard it nearby!
After all, when everyone had nothing to do, they would lie on the tree branches and sleep. Lu Xiaoxiao’s tree house was not located in a remote area in the tribe. They had so much fun that they must have attracted everyone’s attention.
When Nanshan learned from Yuchuan that he suspected it was him, he was heartbroken beyond words. He rolled around in Yuchuan's tree house and threw a tantrum, refusing to care about his image at all. It took Lu Xiaoxiao and Yuchuan at least ten minutes of coaxing him before he got up from the ground.
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel ashamed and felt that she was quite helpless in the beast world alone.
"I'm sorry, Nanshan. We wronged you." Lu Xiaoxiao said sincerely, "It's a blessing for Yuchuan to have a brother like you. Take some of these dried oysters with you. They'll be delicious when you cook porridge with them."
Nanshan took the bag of dried oysters from Lu Xiaoxiao without hesitation. He raised his head proudly and handed over the dried meat that he was going to give to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Humph! I forgive you!"
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled.
Yuchuan didn't blame his brother for his embarrassment at all and took the jerky as a matter of course.
Nanshan bared his teeth at him, and Yuchuan also bared his teeth at him. The two brothers looked at each other, and it was unknown what the two brothers exchanged. Anyway, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them as they did before.
Nanshan did not stay for long, otherwise it would be troublesome if that group of people came over to listen to what they were playing. The rainy season was too long, and the beastmen who had no place to vent their energy always wanted to find some fun.
After returning home, it rained more frequently, sometimes so heavily that Lu Xiaoxiao and Yuchuan could not hear each other's words at home. Lu Xiaoxiao opened the berries given by Chiran, and they were well preserved, with only one or two rotten ones.
The berries look a lot like Millennium Tomatoes, round and cute, but they come in black and blue colors, which look scary. I don’t know how the first orc who knew they were edible dared to put them in his mouth.
Lu Xiaoxiao chose to eat the yellow one first, which looked more normal.
"Oh, it's delicious." Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that after biting open the fruit, the inside was also like a tomato.
The juice and fruit together are sour and sweet, which makes people's appetite whetted.
Then, she took another blue one and put it in her mouth. The taste of this one was much lighter, and it felt like it was purely for replenishing water.
Take another black one, this one tastes...
"Yue." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but spit. Yu Chuan quickly put a glass of water on the ground, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't pay attention... and ate a rotten one." Lu Xiaoxiao thought that the black ones were just black, but she didn't expect that the fruit was rotten!
This fruit is so unpalatable that it makes people sick. Yuchuan took a look at the residue on the ground, then at the berries in the bag, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not bad, it just doesn't taste good."
If the male is not picking berries for the female, he will pick them one handful after another, regardless of the flavor, and eat them when he is bored. Chi Ran must be the same guy.
"It will taste better after being dried, but there is no sun now. I'll help you dry it. The taste will be similar." Yuchuan asked her to drink more water to dilute the strange smell.
"Hmm..." Lu Xiaoxiao grimaced and couldn't describe the taste in her mouth. She was skeptical. Even if it was dried, how would the taste change?
