Chapter 215 This isn't a fox cub, it's clearly protecting his wife.

"Good heavens, this snake has some nerve!" one of the tomb raiders said, holding the snake.

The snake is dead.

How dare it come out and bite people in the middle of the night? Isn't it just asking for death?

“Yeah, this snake looks like it has a lot of meat on it. Why don’t we roast it and eat it? It’s its own fault for running out on its own,” another tomb raider said.

Yan Yu's eyes twitched when he heard them say they wanted to roast snake.

They really can bake anything!

“I think it’s a good idea, we happen to have some fire,” said the tomb raider holding the snake.

So the two of them simply skinned the snake and roasted it over a fire.

Yan Yu came to Shen Jin's side, but Shen Jin was still in shock and hadn't recovered.

"Are you alright?" Yan Yu asked Shen Jin in a low voice.

Shen Jin snapped out of his daze, glanced at Yan Yu, then shook his head without saying a word.

A moment later, Yan Yu sat down next to Shen Jin, reached out and hugged Shen Jin, patting him on the back.

“Then I’ll stay with you,” Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

"...Whatever you say." Shen Jin remained silent for a moment before answering Yan Yu's question.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu was secretly delighted.

"Alright, let go of me now, stop hugging me," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.

Although Yan Yu was unwilling, he obediently let go of Shen Jin and sat down next to him.

The two tomb raiders were still roasting the snake, so Shen Jin looked away, not wanting to ask.

However, after a while, one of the tomb raiders waved at them and said, "Come and eat snake meat!"

Upon hearing his words, Shen Jin immediately turned his head away, not wanting to speak.

Yan Yu noticed Shen Jin's mood and said to the tomb raider, "No, what's so delicious about snakes?"

"Why can't snakes taste good?" The tomb raider, unaware that Shen Jin was afraid of snakes, directly refuted Yan Yu's words.

Yan Yu remained silent.

To prove himself, the tomb raider took out the already roasted snake meat.

"Here, have some." The tomb raider handed them the roasted snake meat.

"I don't want it." Yan Yu refused with a look of disgust.

Seeing Yan Yu's disgusted expression, the tomb raider turned his attention to Shen Jin: "Then you eat it."

"I don't want it either." Shen Jin immediately refused, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

He's terrified of snakes, let alone eating them.

"What are you doing? I won't eat Shen Jin!" Yan Yu immediately pushed away the tomb raider's hand.

Seeing Yan Yu's obvious favoritism, the tomb raider couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why aren't you eating? Is Ah Jin too scared to eat?" The tomb raider looked at Shen Jin and said with a smile.

Shen Jin pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing Shen Jin like this, the tomb raider found it even more amusing and wanted Shen Jin to eat him even more.

"Just try a bite, it's delicious." The tomb raider continued to try to get Shen Jin to eat.

Yan Yu quickly pushed him away.

"Don't bully Shen Jin, he doesn't want to," Yan Yu said to the tomb raider.

As he spoke, Yan Yu moved a little closer to Shen Jin, preventing the tomb raiders from getting near him.

At this moment, another tomb raider came forward, looked at Yan Yu, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at Yan Yu's posture, doesn't it look like a mother protecting her cub?" a tomb raider teased Yan Yu with a smile.

"This isn't protecting the cubs, it's clearly protecting the wife," another person replied with a laugh.

Listening to their banter, Shen Jin was too lazy to say anything back.

After that, the tomb raider stopped making Shen Jin eat snake meat, and Yan Yu also refused to eat it, so the two of them had to eat it themselves.

After they finished eating the snake, they felt sleepy and went back to sleep.

Now, after what just happened, Yan Yu could finally lie down next to Chen Jin as a matter of course.

“If there are snakes again this time, I will definitely protect you. It won’t be like before,” Yan Yu said to Shen Jin as he lay down next to him.

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin pursed his lips.

"It's nothing, it's alright," Shen Jin said calmly to Yan Yu.

Despite Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu still felt somewhat guilty.

If he had been paying attention to Shen Jin the whole time, he would have noticed the snake sooner. It was because he wasn't watching closely that the snake got close to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

"Let's go to sleep. We have to get up and travel tomorrow," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu, not wanting to say anything more.

"Hmm." Yan Yu responded, "We'll probably be going to all sorts of fun places tomorrow, which I think is quite interesting."

If you exclude the tomb raiders, he could interpret this trip to the island as a date with Yan Yu.

“It’s quite interesting,” Shen Jin replied casually to Yan Yu.

Afterwards, Yan Yu continued chatting with Shen Jin. Most of the time, Shen Jin listened while Yan Yu spoke, with Shen Jin occasionally replying to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was afraid that if they talked for too long, Shen Jin would not be able to sleep, so after chatting for a while, he stopped talking.

This time, Shen Jin finally felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

Yan Yu kept watching Shen Jin until Shen Jin fell asleep, and then he closed his eyes and went to sleep himself.

Yan Yu hadn't been able to fall asleep before, but now, perhaps because Shen Jin was lying next to him, he quickly drifted off to sleep and began to dream.

The next morning, when Yan Yu woke up, he heard a noisy commotion.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw several tomb raiders chasing after a bird, trying to catch it.

But the bird was so agile that they couldn't catch it no matter how hard they tried. Just when they were about to catch it, the bird flapped its wings and flew back up to the tree.

The tomb raiders were immediately annoyed.

"What are you doing?" Yan Yu couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's voice, someone turned to look at him.

"You're awake?" a tomb raider greeted him with a laugh. "We're catching that bird. It's a very rare bird, so we're trying to catch it."

The tomb raider who was speaking had dirt all over his nose from catching birds, making him look particularly comical.

Hearing their words, Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Furthermore, we discovered that if we went deeper into this area, there seemed to be many small animals. The bird we saw flew over from there," the tomb raider continued.

"Is that so?" Yan Yu asked.

“Yes, that’s exactly it,” the tomb raider continued.

Then, the tomb raiders prepared to catch the bird again, but at this moment, they realized that the bird they had just caught was already gone.

The group was immediately annoyed that they couldn't find the bird.

At this moment, Shen Jin also woke up groggily.

Seeing that Shen Jin had woken up, Yan Yu quickly looked at him and smiled, "You're awake?"

"Hmm..." Shen Jin rubbed his head and got up.

Then, Shen Jin looked at the tomb raiders.

"What were you doing just now? It was so noisy," Shen Jin said.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, the tomb raiders immediately smiled sheepishly.

"We were catching birds, did we disturb you?" one of the tomb raiders said with a smile.

"Catch birds?" Shen Jin was immediately puzzled.

The tomb raider had no choice but to explain it to Shen Jin again.

Afterwards, the tomb raiders woke up one after another, and after washing up, they ate together.

"We'll go in from here later," one of the tomb raiders said while eating, outlining their upcoming itinerary.

"Okay." Shen Jin nodded in response.

No one else had any objections.

So, after everyone finished breakfast, they walked further into the woods.

After walking for more than an hour, the group started to walk downhill.

Previously, they had only traveled uphill or on flat ground, but now they were suddenly going downhill, which puzzled everyone.

"Why are we going downhill?" someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either, but this is definitely where we should be. It seems like there's a valley or something like that further down from here," someone quickly replied.

Upon hearing his answer, the others said nothing more and simply followed him.

Because it was a downhill path with many loose stones, Yan Yu held onto Chen Jin's hand tightly as they walked down.

After walking for a while, the terrain began to flatten out. Yan Yu suddenly heard an animal cry, and he was immediately stunned.

"Did you hear that?" Yan Yu immediately asked Shen Jin.

"What?" Shen Jin asked in confusion.

Seeing Shen Jin's expression, Yan Yu knew that Shen Jin hadn't heard it, but he still explained to Shen Jin very seriously: "I think I just heard something make a sound."

"Really?" Shen Jin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Just as they were about to ask something, a bird's chirp rang in their ears, and they were both momentarily stunned.

The tomb raiders ahead also heard the bird's cry and stopped in their tracks.

Yan Yu looked on in surprise. Could this be the place the tomb raider had mentioned, the place with lots of animals?

The tomb raiders then continued on their way.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu followed without hesitation. After a while, they saw many birds and birds flying in the sky in the valley in front of them.

They come in all sorts of colors and there are many different kinds. The kind of bird they were chasing and trying to catch earlier, there are plenty of those here too.

There are many kinds of birds there, many of which Shen Jin has never seen before. They seem to be rare species, but there are more of them on this island.

"It's so beautiful." Shen Jin couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the scene before him.

The other tomb raiders were also captivated by the scene, finding it exceptionally magnificent.

Before me, many birds circled in the sky above the valley, and many flowers bloomed in the valley. The whole scene looked particularly dreamy and beautiful, like a painting.

Everyone was stunned by the sight before them, unable to look away.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful! There are so many animals we've never seen before." After a long while, one of the tomb raiders came to his senses and exclaimed at the sight before him.

Even those as worldly-wise as them were stunned by the magnificent and beautiful scene before them.

“Yes, it’s really beautiful here,” another tomb raider chimed in.

At this moment, Shen Jin finally came to his senses.

A moment later, Shen Jin picked up the camera hanging around his neck and took several pictures. Then he looked down and admired the beautiful scenery he had captured.

Seeing that Shen Jin seemed to like it quite a bit, one of the tomb raiders chuckled and teased, "So, do you like it here?"

"Yes." Shen Jin nodded without hesitation: "I really like it here, it's very beautiful."

Upon hearing Shen Jin say he liked it, Yan Yu smiled as well.

He hadn't wanted Shen Jin to go to sea before, thinking it was too dangerous, but now that he heard Shen Jin say he liked it and saw him smiling so happily, he felt it was all worth it.

After a while, Shen Jin took his camera and walked downstairs, intending to get closer before taking pictures.

Seeing that Shen Jin had gone down, Yan Yu hurriedly tried to follow, but because he was walking too fast, he stepped on a loose stone and stumbled forward, falling straight into Shen Jin.

After being bumped by Yan Yu, Shen Jin also lost his balance and fell forward.

Yan Yu was alarmed and quickly reached out to grab Shen Jin: "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Shen Jin was pulled back by Yan Yu, steadied himself, and replied to Yan Yu calmly.

After saying that, Shen Jin took the camera and continued taking pictures. Yan Yu watched Shen Jin for a while, and then immediately followed him.

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, and seeing that Yan Yu was following him, he didn't say anything and let him follow.

As they approached the small animals, they became somewhat afraid of people. When they saw Chen Jin coming, they all ran away. Only a few animals, unafraid of people, continued to blink their big eyes at Chen Jin, their black pupils darting around.

Chen Jin loves small animals, especially fluffy ones, which are particularly cute.

"So cute..." Shen Jin squatted down, looked at one of the small animals, and patted its head.

It was a gray kitten, and it was especially cute.

"Meow~" The kitten looked at Shen Jin, meowed, narrowed its eyes slightly, and rubbed its head against Shen Jin's hand, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being petted.

Seeing how cute the kitten was, Shen Jin felt his heart was melting.

"You're so cute." Shen Jin poked the kitten's head with his finger and said softly.

They're so cute, it's almost illegal!

Yan Yu watched Shen Jin from the side, feeling particularly happy.

After a moment, Yan Yu said to Shen Jin, "Since you like it so much, why don't we help you take a picture with it? It'll be a keepsake for later."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback, but then thought the idea was quite good.

"Alright, take a few more pictures for us." Shen Jin thought for a moment, then took off the camera hanging around his neck and handed it to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu quickly took it and nodded in agreement.

Then, Yan Yu lowered his head and fiddled with the camera for a moment before aiming it at Chen Jin to take a picture.

Shen Jin reached out and gently picked up the kitten, stroking its fur softly: "Let's take a picture."

The kitten didn't refuse and let Shen Jin pick it up.

“Shen Jin…smile.” Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin through the camera and said.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin revealed a big smile.

Seeing Shen Jin's smile, Yan Yu also smiled, pressed the shutter button, and took a picture of him and the cat together.

"Alright." Mei Yanyu raised his head, looked at Shen Jin, and said.

"Is it ready? Let me see." Shen Jin said as he got up and walked over to Yan Yu's side.

Yan Yu quickly handed the camera in his hand to Shen Jin to see.

"Is this okay?" Yan Yu asked Shen Jin cautiously, afraid that his photography skills were not good enough and Shen Jin would dislike him.

Shen Jin lowered his head and looked at the photos taken by Yan Yu very seriously. Yan Yu stared at Shen Jin nervously the whole time.

In the photo, Shen Jin is sitting on the grass, and the gray cat is lying lazily on Shen Jin's lap. Shen Jin's hand is stroking the cat's head, and his eyes are full of smiles.

Yan Yu became somewhat nervous when he saw that Shen Jin had not spoken.

"Shen Jin..." Finally, Yan Yu felt a little guilty and called Shen Jin's name softly.

His photos probably weren't that bad, at least they were clear and not blurry.

At this moment, Shen Jin chuckled and turned to look at Yan Yu, who was immediately stunned.

"It looks pretty good," Shen Jin said with a smile.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Shen Jin didn't mind that his photos were ugly.

"Take a few more pictures for me," Chen Jinba said, handing the camera back to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu nodded quickly: "Okay."

So, Shen Jin smiled, walked back, picked up the gray kitten, and asked Yan Yu to take a picture of him.

Shen Jin lifted the kitten up and made an eggplant gesture. Yan Yu quickly pressed the shutter and took a picture.

Then, Shen Jin posed with the cat in many different ways, and Yan Yu took pictures of each one.

Just as Yan Yu was about to press the shutter again, he saw Shen Jin lower his head and kiss the kitten. Yan Yu's movements stopped abruptly, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart. He felt a pang of sadness.

Why is even a cat treated better than him?

Shen Jin smiled so happily at that cat, he'd never smiled like that at him before, and this cat could even take pictures with Shen Jin, but he couldn't. And what's worse, Shen Lin actually kissed it…

Yan Yu felt increasingly wronged as he thought about it, feeling that it was all too unfair.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jin asked when he saw that Yan Yu hadn't moved.

Hearing Shen Jin's voice, Yan Yu came back to his senses and looked up at Yan Yu.

"Um..." Yan Yu began, as if he wanted to say something.

At this moment, another small animal came to Shen Jin's side and rubbed its head against Shen Jin's leg.

Shen Jin looked down at the kitten and couldn't help but smile.

"Do you want to come too?" Shen Jin asked with a smile.

As he spoke, Shen Jin reached out and picked up the new kitten, taking a picture with the two cats.

Yan Yu was even more unhappy.

Now even these small animals, one by one, want to compete with him for the Ashes.

Just as I was thinking this, several more furry little animals came over. They probably had been observing Chen Jin for a long time and thought that Chen Jin wouldn't hurt them, so they all ran over.

"You're all here, let's take some pictures together." Shen Jin smiled and reached out to pick up all the small animals that came over, welcoming everyone.

Yan Yu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw them all coming over.

However, Shen Jin did not notice anything unusual about Yan Yu and continued to play with the small animals.

Some small animals also wanted to come up and play with Shen Jin, but they were too scared to do so. They could only stand on the sidelines, eager to try but too afraid to come over.

At this moment, the tomb raiders also came down, and seeing how popular Shen Jin was with the small animals, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, these little animals all like Ah Jin so much!" A tomb raider looked at Shen Jin and laughed.

Everyone else laughed along, but Yan Yu remained unhappy.

"Look at Yan Yu, isn't he jealous? Hahaha!" At this moment, another tomb raider pointed at Yan Yu and teased him with a smile.

Upon hearing that person's words, everyone turned to look at Yan Yu, who immediately felt embarrassed.

Everyone crowded around to observe Yan Yu's expression, even Shen Jin looked up at Yan Yu.

"Are you jealous?" the tomb raider asked Yan Yu teasingly as he approached him.

"I didn't," Yan Yu replied immediately, so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground.

These tomb raiders would always find ways to embarrass him.

"Okay, okay, no, no, hahaha," the tomb raider replied with a laugh.

The others, on the contrary, laughed even more heartily.

Yan Yu pursed his lips, avoiding Shen Jin's gaze, not daring to look at him.

"I'll continue taking pictures of you," Yan Yu said, shaking his head and looking at Shen Jin.

“Okay.” Shen Jin nodded in response.

So Yan Yu picked up the camera again to take a picture of Shen Jin.

Shen Jin then picked up a small animal, posed for a photo, and asked Yan Yu to take a picture of him.

"Wait a minute." Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and the group of small animals in the camera lens and suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing his words, everyone else paused for a moment and turned to look at Yan Yu in unison.

Yan Yu placed the camera on a tree branch, set it to a timer, and then ran over to Chen Jin's side. Someone said, "Let's take a picture together."

After saying that, Yan Yu immediately looked at the camera, not giving Shen Jin a chance to refuse.

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, said nothing, and then looked away, tacitly agreeing to let Yan Yu take a picture with him.

Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that Shen Jin didn't intend to send him away, Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Several small animals climbed onto Yan Yu's body, and Yan Yu picked them up, smiling as he looked at the camera and took a picture with Shen Jin.

At this moment, all the tomb raiders nearby rushed over and surrounded the two men.

"Hahaha, cheese!" A tomb raider approached the two of them and made a cheese gesture.

Yan Yu hurriedly tried to push him away.

The other tomb raiders also rushed over, laughing and striking various poses.

Laughter erupted all around.

With a "click," the photo was taken, freezing that moment in time.
