Chapter 231 Protect Her

Rongqiu said distressedly: "Liuli is sleepy, let's let her sleep first."

As he said this, he picked up Liuli and walked into the house, gently placed her on the bed, and carefully covered her with animal skin.

Duzi and Juanjuan also calmed down, sat by the bed, and watched Liuli gradually fall asleep.

After Liuli fell asleep, Juanjuan lay down on the big bed with his slender and agile body. His slightly curly hair was like wheat waves blown by the wind, scattered wantonly on his forehead. A few strands of hair covered his dark blue eyes like deep lake water.

Suddenly, he opened his thin lips and broke the silence with a low voice.

"Duzi, Rongqiu, I may have to break my promise. I don't want to find the same partner as you two. I... like Liuli. She is really... so cute..."

The ball of fluff paused. He had a face that looked like it was carefully carved. Under his high nose bridge, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile.

"Then how do you know I don't like her? Perhaps the three of us can still find the same partner..."

Duzi gently covered Liuli's belly, his broad palm filled with endless tenderness. He said:

"I like Liuli, too. I've liked her since she was a little wolf cub. Every time I see her eyes, I feel warm inside. I want to protect her, watch her grow up, and be someone she can rely on."

Juanjuan sat up, his wheat-colored skin glowed in the moonlight, and his eyes were a little confused.

"But Liuli is still so young. Isn't it too early for us to talk about this now? Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Coco to hand her over to us?"

Rongqiu folded his hands across his chest, tilted his head slightly upward in thought, the strands of hair on his forehead swaying slightly as he moved. He said:

"Why don't we quickly become stronger and avenge Liuli's father and mother. Then Liuli will definitely like us. If she really doesn't like us... we can only wish her to find a new partner..."

When Rongqiu said the last sentence, his eyes dimmed a little and his expression was slightly lost. His face, which was always full of confidence on weekdays, was now covered with a layer of faint sadness.

Duzi pondered and said, "Will your method work?"

The ball of fluff curled its lips and smiled, "Of course, didn't you hear Liuli's eyes almost sparkle when Qi'an said that going to the academy could improve her strength? Besides avenging her father and mother, why would she want to improve her strength?"

Juanjuan couldn't think of so much, but he also knew that among the three people, only Rongqiu was the smartest and his words were the most reliable.

Juanjuan gritted her teeth, as if she had made some kind of resolution, and said firmly:

"Okay, then it's settled! For Liuli, we must become stronger as soon as possible."

Duzi also nodded heavily, his eyes revealing determination:

"Well, I will do my best, not only for revenge, but also to be able to stand by Liuli and protect her."

A spark of hope rekindled in Rongqiu's eyes. He sat up and began to plan seriously:

"Starting tomorrow, we will get up early every day to do strength training, and then go hunting in the forest to improve our combat capabilities."

After the three of them agreed on this, they lay down again, this time with smiles on their faces, full of satisfaction.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the three of them got up immediately, but they all consciously moved quietly so as not to wake up Liuli.

Juanjuan expertly built a fire, and the dry branches quickly ignited into a warm flame as he fiddled with them. Duzi took the rabbit meat he had hunted yesterday from a nearby rack and began to carefully clean and cut it. His broad hands held the knife steadily, and each cut was evenly sized.

Velvet was mixing some wild vegetables and fruits, preparing to make a refreshing and delicious salad.

They worked in perfect harmony, quietly busying themselves. Juanjuan would occasionally look towards the room to make sure he didn't wake Liuli.

Duzai focused on the rabbit meat in his hand, his eyes full of seriousness, while Rongqiu took a bite of the prepared salad and nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with the taste.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, intertwining with the fresh aroma of fruit and vegetables.

At the same time, Liuli gradually woke up. She rubbed her eyes, and her furry ears moved, and the tail behind her also swayed gently.

Her eyes were like clear amber, pure and bright, revealing an innate agility and cunning. Her fair little face had a slight blush from just waking up, making her look particularly delicate and adorable.

Duzai looks careless on weekdays, but he is very meticulous in his work. Last night, after Liuli fell asleep, he selected the softest animal skin under the faint moonlight and sewed it stitch by stitch. After several hours of hard work, a delicate little dress was finally completed.

There were also a few small flowers embroidered on the clothes, which he had specially embroidered for Liuli. Although the needlework was a bit clumsy, it was full of his love.

When Rongqiu saw the clothes made by Duzi, he couldn't help but praise him: "Duzi, your craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Then, he walked into the room with his clothes, and seeing that Liuli had woken up, he smiled and said:

"Liuli, look at the new clothes Duzi made for you. Try them on quickly."

As he spoke, he gently helped Liuli put on her clothes and carefully tied the belt.

Liuli turned around the room a few times in her new clothes, smiling happily:

"So beautiful! I love it!"

Liuli's laughter was crisp. She ran to Duzi, took his hand, looked up at him, and said with sparkling eyes:

"Thank you, Duzi!"

Duzi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, his face flushed, and he said with a smile: "As long as you like it."

Juanjuan also came over, and seeing Liuli's cute appearance, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, saying:

"Liuli, come and try the breakfast we made. Today we have your favorite rabbit meat."

Liuli skipped to the dining table and her eyes lit up when she saw the golden and crispy roasted rabbit meat and the colorful salad.

She picked up a piece of rabbit meat, took a bite, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and said vaguely, "It's delicious! You guys should eat it too."

The three of them watched Liuli eat with gusto, their hearts filled with joy. After breakfast, Liuli suddenly remembered something and asked, "When are we going to the school that Sister Yueke's partner mentioned yesterday?"

The ball of fluff smiled and replied:

"We'll go when we're ready, but before that, we need to train and improve our strength so we can better protect you."

Liuli nodded vigorously and said, "I want to train with you too. I want to become stronger!"

So, the four of them went to the open space outside the house and started a day of training.

Although Liuli is young, she studies very seriously and imitates every move very well.

Duzi, Juanjuan and Rongqiu patiently guided her and corrected her movements from time to time. During the training, Liuli accidentally fell and scraped her knee.

Duzi hurried over, carefully helped her up, and said with a distressed look on his face, "Liuli, does it hurt? It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."

Juanjuan also quickly took out the herbs and prepared to apply them to Liuli.

Liuli shook her head firmly and said with a smile: "I'm not in pain. I want to continue training."

Looking at Liuli's determined eyes, the three of them felt moved and relieved.

During the break, Liuli leaned against the ball and asked curiously, "Why are you so nice to me?"

The ball of fluff gently stroked Liuli's hair and said softly: "Because you are the most important person to us, we will always be with you and protect you."

Liuli nodded, half understanding, a little hesitant. She felt this was good, just like how a father beast treats a mother beast. Perhaps she was overthinking it...

No matter what, her goal now is to become strong and then avenge her father and mother!
