Under Wu Yue's gaze, Xiao slowly shook his head.
Wu Yue was dumbfounded. What did shaking the head mean?
After looking around, he thought he understood. In front of so many people in the tribe, Xiao obviously had to pretend to accept the "prophecy".
He grabbed everyone and walked to the back of the house. He had to find a quiet place to have a good talk with Xiao.
As the two most watched people in the tribe, naturally, some people saw their actions. However, everyone in the tribe assumed that they were a couple, so they just smiled and didn't take it seriously as they had something private to do.
Xiao followed Wu Yue obediently all the way to the corner of the vegetable garden behind the house. It was already afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the light shining on people was dim and yellow.
The worries that had been suppressed for a while were finally revealed, and Xiao's mood improved a lot. He looked at Wu Yue's hand on his wrist with a curled mouth.
"Alright." Finding a corner away from the crowd, Wu Yue let go, frowning and asking, "Why didn't you tell me about this prophecy before?"
Xiao touched his wrist with some regret, and didn't hide it. "I didn't believe this prophecy at first, nor did I think we would become partners. I concealed it to avoid offending you. Sorry."
Sure enough, Wu Yue thought, he knew that Xiao was not a superstitious primitive man who would be dominated by the so-called prophecy.
But he was still a little angry, because without his knowledge, everyone in the tribe probably thought he and Xiao were a couple, and those normal actions he did towards Xiao would probably be secretly laughed at.
This is so embarrassing! And if this matter is not resolved, what will he do if he falls in love with someone in the future despite being the "leader's partner"?
"So what now?" he asked with a hint of anger. "Everyone thinks we're a couple now. We can't just let this go on! I'm telling you, I don't believe in prophecies. I'll make this clear to everyone. Even if they think I'm not a messenger from God, I don't care. At worst, I'll just leave!"
Originally, Xiao was obediently enduring Wu Yue's anger, but when Wu Yue said something like he wanted to leave, Xiao immediately frowned and became a little angry.
"What?!" Seeing Xiao still scowled at him, Wu Yue became even more annoyed. "Are you still angry? Have I ever taken advantage of you since I came to your tribe? Wasn't it always me who paid for everything? Food, clothing, weapons, pottery, building houses... Do I still owe your tribe anything?"
He has a good temper, but he is not a silly pushover!
He just wanted to develop a tribe so that these primitive people and himself could live a better life. He didn't have to hang himself on this Sharp Tooth Tribe.
What was given was given, what was planted in the ground was planted in the ground, he didn't want it anymore! Anyway, he still had half of the seeds in his space, and he still had a lot of knowledge in his head. At worst, he could change tribes. Even if he wasn't worshipped as a messenger of God like here, it wouldn't be much different!
Seeing Wu Yue getting angrier and angrier, Xiao quickly restrained his expression and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to care so much."
Wu Yue snorted coldly, "Of course I care! I don't care what's going on in your world. In our world..." Thinking of the proportion of scumbags among his kind on Earth, he paused, "...At least for me, a partner is very important! It's definitely not something that can be determined by some 'prophecy'!"
Xiao looked at his angry look and suddenly thought he was quite cute. He inexplicably felt as if something furry had rubbed against his heart.
He curled his lips and said, "Me too. My partner is very important to me, and it won't be determined by any prophecy."
Wu Yue glared at him: "Then what happened in front of the fish just now..."
Xiao interrupted him: "--So, I want to tell you now, I hope you will become the most important partner in my life and accompany me for the rest of my life."
Wu Yue was stunned.
Xiao continued: "It's not because of the prophecy, it's just because I think you are very good, I like you very much, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you, until we die and are buried together."
Wu Yue finally came to his senses, and at the same time, blood began to spread on his face.
Did he... receive a confession?!
It’s not that he hasn’t received love confessions. After all, he has a good personality, is handsome, and is caring. When he was in school, he often received love confessions from girls.
But he had already realized that he was gay, so he rejected those girls.
As for a man's confession, this is really the first time.
For a moment, he was at a loss, his face turned red and he didn't know where to look.
Seeing him like this, Xiao also realized a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and bravely reached out to pull Wu Yue's hand: "Are you willing?"
When the back of his hand touched the other person's warm, dry palm, Wu Yue suddenly pulled his hand back as if it were burned, and refused: "No."
Xiao's mouth drooped, his brows furrowed again, and he took a step forward: "Why not? Am I really ugly?"
Wu Yue took a step back and shook his head. The people of the Sharp Fang Tribe were not ugly, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and distinct bones. Xiao was the best among them.
Xiao continued to move forward: "Is it because I'm not strong enough?"
Wu Yue continued to retreat, still shaking his head. How could someone who'd been running and hunting for years not be strong? Not only was he strong, he was also very agile. He had all the necessary muscles, but his overall figure was quite smooth. He wasn't one of those muscled people on Earth who were fed protein powder.
Xiao felt a little better and lowered his voice: "Why is that? If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can change it."
Wu Yue had been forced to the foot of the mountain, with nowhere to retreat. He looked up, but after a split second of staring at Xiao, he hurriedly looked away and coughed softly, "Ahem, well, back home, they insist on dating before becoming a couple. They generally don't suddenly ask someone to be their partner."
He had to admit that Xiao's appearance was quite attractive.
It's absolutely impossible to ask him to agree just like that. He has always regarded Xiao as a buddy. Who would easily accept an inexplicable confession of love and "marriage"?
"I understand." Xiao stretched out his hand to support Wu Yue on the rock behind him, gave him a wall-dong, and then bent down. "Then, are you willing to date me?"
He could guess what Wu Yue meant by "falling in love". It was like the men and women in the tribe who were in love with each other. They should be nice to each other, listen to each other, bring each other food, make each other happy, and show their strengths in front of each other.
Well, it doesn’t feel difficult.
The other person was too close, and his body temperature, which was higher than that of an ordinary person, made Wu Yue's mind a little confused. The hot air blown by the question made his face even more flushed.
I have to say, Wu Yue was a little tempted.
He's grown up and never been in love! Anyway, there shouldn't be a man in the Sharp Fang Tribe who is better than Xiao, so why not give it a try?
He coughed again and said, "...Of course you can, but you have to make it clear to the tribesmen that we are not partners."
He advocates free love, free love! Even if the partner is the same person, he must make it clear that he is definitely not with someone because of some "prophecy"!
This was a very simple request. Xiao curled his lips and agreed: "Okay."
Reaching out his hand, he asked, "Can we hold hands now?"
Wu Yue's eyes wandered, but he still offered his hand with a blushing face. Xiao's palm was a little rough, but very broad and warm. Just holding hands like this made him feel safe.
Today was a magical day for the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe. Their great messenger of God suddenly pulled their leader away. After a while, the two came back hand in hand and said that they were not actually partners.
The leader added that they were not partners yet.
But they were obviously so close, and their bodies were stained with each other's scent. The leader's eyes were as soft as water, and the messenger's face was flushed, and it looked like they had done something.
These two people look like this, and they actually say they are not partners?
Even a small tree wouldn't believe such a thing! There must have been some kind of quarrel, and the leader had offended the Lord God. The Lord God has such a good temper, so he should be fine in a few days.
Wu Yue was in a good mood as he had just found a lover and had denied the rumor that he was "married", but he didn't know that no one believed his denial.
There is still a long way to go to break feudal superstitions.
