"Every time I come home and look at the empty house, I always feel lost."

Here, he was like a little tail, following her all the time, invisibly soothing the uneasiness in her heart that had formed since her parents left.

Sometimes she would say he was clingy, but actually she liked him clinging to her.

If she hadn't met him, she didn't know what would happen to her in the future.

Should he be taken away by the five wolf orcs and forced to form a mate with at least three orcs, or should he find another way to live well without forming a mate?

Or maybe she would find an orc in the wolf tribe whom she might like.

But it seemed unlikely. In her heart, she was somewhat resistant to the union of humans and orcs, as she always felt that they were not the same species.

But deep in her heart, she had an inexplicable trust and peace of mind towards Shi Shen. While she allowed him to get close to her, she also longed to get close to him.

Because it's him, the resistance in my heart disappears.

Xi Lu put her arms around his waist and said, "I didn't agree to be your partner because I was touched by the things you did for me. I agreed to be your partner because I like you."

"Shi Shen, I was spoiled when I was little, and I have a strong sense of achievement and worthiness, so I won't think about repaying someone's kindness and accepting their pursuit."

"I will put aside my delicate nature for survival, but I will not sell out my feelings for survival."

If one day someone threatens her life to force her to be with someone she rejects or dislikes, then she will fight to the death.

Between temporary relief and lifelong suffering, she chose the former.

"Promising you is a decision I made after careful consideration."

"It's also because of you that I can continue to be spoiled."

Shi Shen hugged her back excitedly, his arms tightening, "Lu Lu is not a spoiled child at all, and it's okay to be spoiled. I was afraid that you wouldn't be spoiled and stick to me."

Xi Lu lay quietly in his arms, "Shi Maomao, can we go into the tree hole now? Let's lie in there and listen to the rain."

If there is no entertainment, just create it.

"Okay." Shi Shen got off the swing, then picked her up and walked towards the tree hole.

When they reached the tree hole, he put her down and asked, "Do you want to go up by yourself?"

"Yes." Xi Lu pulled his hand and went up the stairs.

The door of the tree hole was a wooden door with a door handle. Xi Lu reached out and pulled it open.

"Shi Maomao, you have a talent for carpentry. You can do it so well with just some learning."

"As long as you like it."

The wooden door was a little taller than Xilu, but Shi Shen had to bend down to get in.

When you go in, there is also a wooden bed, with tables, chairs and other furniture next to it.

Xi Lu was a little surprised. She thought he just dug a hole and covered it with hay and animal skins, but she didn't expect that he had directly built a house with all the necessary facilities.

"Shi Maomao, you are really great!"

Shi Shen leaned over and kissed her, "The beast mother's companions helped to build the shed, and I specialized in digging tree holes and making furniture."

"I took out two. This tree hole has been made for a longer time, so it will be better."

"The one next to it just dug a shallow hole and covered it with hay and bark."

"Do you want to go there, too?"

"good."

Xi Lu and he went to see another tree hole, and instead of running back and forth, they just lay down there.

"Do you want to eat some fruit? I'll go back and get it."

"OK."

After Shi Shen left, Xi Lu lay on the animal skin and looked up at the top of the tree hole, on top of which was a shed.

There is also a small staircase in the tree hole that you can climb up.
