"By the way, does your beast father know that you are here?"
This is what Chu Liangyu is more concerned about. That old bastard Jiang Li might be using the cub to set a trap for her.
The two of them looked guilty, but in the end, it was Chu Yue who answered her: "Beast Father never lets us go out without permission, so... we ran here secretly."
"So that's how it is." Chu Liangyu said, and smiled as he asked them to sit down. "You've come just in time. The gifts I promised you were just prepared two days ago. So, take them out."
The thing in the bracelet appeared on the table, and Chu Liangyu gestured for them to accept it.
She was thinking about finding a runner to deliver it, but before she could do that, these two brats arrived first, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"Mother Beast, what is the name of this sword?" Chu Yue stared at the sword for a while before looking away and asked Chu Liangyu.
"Shangqing Crescent Moon Sword."
Chu Li picked up the jade bracelet and gave one to Chu Yue. After both of them put it on, he remembered to ask, "What about mine?"
"Heart-linked jade bracelet."
Chu Liangyu gave Cheng Miao and the other two a look, then stood up and said, "I'm going to take the two kids back to my residence first. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Okay." Cheng Miao nodded in agreement
After all, this is someone else's territory, and Chu Liangyu can't let the two cubs stay here with her for long.
"Wait a moment, Chief."
I don’t know when the elder left, but he walked out of a room now, holding a tray with fruits of several colors on it.
Chu Liangyu looked at them and could barely recognize the two types: Red Heart Fruit and Drunken Fruit. There was also the fruit that the elder asked him to taste, but she couldn't name it.
"We made these ourselves. We saw that the leader liked them, so we were planning to have them delivered to you later. But since you had two cubs with you, we thought we'd let them have a taste sooner."
She took it and said sincerely, "Thank you, Elder, you are so thoughtful."
After leaving the yard, Chu Liangyu saw Chi Chongrui from afar.
He turned his back to the yard, staring at the sunset in the sky in a trance. The afterglow shone on him, making his already melancholy temperament even more sad and lonely.
There seemed to be a barrier around him, isolating himself from the prying eyes of outsiders and locking himself in a world of his own.
Chu Liangyu felt suffocated just by looking at him. She couldn't help but call him "Chi Chongrui."
In just a moment, the invisible and intangible barrier shattered into pieces, as if turning into starlight and dissipating. The light reflected on his face, making him feel more peaceful.
He turned around, a look of joy in his eyes, and walked towards her quickly after hearing her call: "Are you done talking?"
"We're done talking, let's go home."
Chu Liangyu took his hand and walked forward, saying, "It's time for dinner. What do you think would be good to eat tonight?"
Chi Chongrui lowered his head to see his hand being held by her, and was stunned for a moment. Then, a smile unconsciously curved the corners of his mouth: "Chestnut Chicken."
Chu Liangyu sighed helplessly: "I knew you would say that."
"Then... change it?"
"Never mind, let's just eat this."
As she spoke, Chi Chongrui took the tray from her hand: "Chong, let me take it."
Chu Liangyu looked at him with a smile, said nothing, and let him take it.
"Beast Mother, is he also one of your beast husbands?"
Chu Li and Chu Yue, who were following behind him, looked confused. They seemed to have never seen this person before, but for no reason they wanted to get close to him.
Chu Liangyu said nothing, but turned her head to look at Chi Chongrui. It seemed that this guy had never called her "female master", and she had never even heard him call her by her name.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now she thinks about it and finds it a little strange.
Being looked at like this by her, Chi Chongrui's face unconsciously flushed slightly. He pursed his lips, looked down at Chu Liangyu's eyes, and replied with a little unconfidence in his tone: "I think so."
They had never had any intimate behavior, and she had never told others about her relationship with him. Thinking of this, Chi Chongrui's heart ached slightly, and he avoided Chu Liangyu's sight in a panic.
So...was what he just said too narcissistic?
Perhaps, she had not thought about it that way, and it was all just his wishful thinking.
Chu Liangyu couldn't see his expression, but seeing his increasingly tense profile, she knew he was daydreaming again.
But she really couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking and why he suddenly became unhappy.
"I see. Although this is our first time meeting you, we always feel that you are very friendly and must be a good person."
Chu Li nodded suddenly. Perhaps it was because of the beast mother that this man treated them a little kinder.
"By the way, if you're not in a hurry to leave after you arrive, you can stay a few more days." Chu Liangyu remembered that he hadn't arranged accommodations for them yet, so he said, "It's getting late, why don't you stay at the Beast Mother's for a night? Tomorrow you can wander around the tribe and then choose a place you like to stay. How do you think?"
Chu Liangyu no longer had any worries, so he really wanted to spend more time with them. Maybe he could make them happy and forget about the honeycomb beast father.
"Okay." Chu Li responded excitedly, and Chu Yue nodded in agreement.
After returning to the yard, Chi Chongrui began to prepare food without stopping, working silently without saying a word.
That is, when Chu Liangyu came to help, he said, "It's dirty, don't touch it, I'll do it."
Chu Liangyu raised her eyebrows and put down her things. Since she had nothing to do, she had to go back into the house.
The two little guys, Chu Li and Chu Yue, were very sensible. Seeing Chi Chongrui busy cooking, they went over to help. Of course, they didn't help much and instead made things more troublesome.
Jiang Li had never let them try to cook their own food. He always gave them the prepared food, or they could eat raw food, so he didn't bother teaching them in this aspect.
Chi Chongrui remained silent, just watched, and then cleaned up the horrific situation.
Chu Li was so busy that he didn't seem to realize that he was actually making things worse. Chu Yue pulled his sleeve and said, "Stop working and get out."
As soon as a look of confusion flashed across Chu Li's eyes, he was dragged out of the kitchen by Chu Yue.
After finding Chu Liangyu, they both sat aside obediently.
Chu Liangyu was feeling a bit bored, so when he saw them coming, he pushed the tray towards them and said, "The fruit is delicious, you can try it. But this drunken fruit is not suitable for you."
"You'll feel dizzy after eating it, and you'll still have a headache after you wake up. Children won't grow taller if they eat it." After explaining, Chu Liangyu picked out the Zui Zui Fruits one by one.
The elder should have prepared this fruit for her. He is a very thoughtful old man.
"We've seen this before. The beast husband also told us not to eat it... but he didn't tell us why."
Chu Li ate the fruit and spoke incoherently: "So this is why Beast Father doesn't let us eat it."
