Chapter 232 Trying to get Shen Jin to treat him even better
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately sat back down, staring blankly at Shen Jin.
"I won't move around too much. I'll just help with some light work," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin after hesitating for a moment.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"Do you think there's any work that doesn't require physical strength, like butchering pigs?" Shen Jin silently replied to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Then Yan Yu thought he could find some work to do.
However, Chen Jin had already turned around and left.
Yan Yu had no choice but to stay where he was; otherwise, if he insisted on following, Shen Jin would definitely get angry.
So Yan Yu stood there quietly watching Chen Jin.
As soon as Shen Jin reached the riverbank, he saw several tomb raiders cutting open the belly of a wild boar with knives, their hands covered in blood.
Even from a distance, Shen Jin could smell the strong stench of blood.
"Hurry up, hurry up..." A tomb raider roughly ripped out the wild boar's intestines.
Shen Jin was startled by the scene, his face paled, and he hesitated to go up, instinctively taking a step back.
At this moment, the tomb raiders also saw the ashes.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and knew he was frightened, so he quickly got up and went over to him.
"Hey, what brings you here?" one of the tomb raiders asked.
As he spoke, he was about to walk over.
Seeing the tomb raider covered in blood walking towards him, Shen Jin immediately took a step back.
"Wait a minute, you..." Shen Jin couldn't stand the scene and panicked for a moment.
At this moment, the other tomb raiders burst into laughter, while the tomb raider looked at them blankly, not knowing what had happened.
"Don't go over there, you've scared Ah Jin." One of the tomb raiders said with a laugh.
Upon hearing his words, the tomb raider was even more stunned.
"How did I scare Ah Jin?" the tomb raider asked in confusion.
Although he knew that Ah Jin was relatively brave, he was also fairly normal-looking, and they had spent so much time together, so how could he be scared?
"Look at yourself now. The way you were tearing your intestines apart was terrifying. And you still say you don't know how you scared Ah Jin." Another tomb raider quickly revealed the truth.
The tomb raider then realized what was happening, quickly took two steps back, and gave Shen Jin an awkward laugh.
"Sorry, I startled you," the tomb raider said to Shen Jin.
"No," Shen Jin replied quickly, unwilling to admit that he was frightened by the bloody scene.
The other tomb raiders all laughed.
"Ah Jin has become increasingly timid lately," a tomb raider said with a laugh.
Immediately, someone chimed in, "Yeah, yeah."
Hearing their words, Shen Jin felt embarrassed.
He had always been the subject of their jokes about his timidity, and now that they were laughing at him even more openly, he felt even more embarrassed.
"I wasn't scared, what nonsense are you all talking about..." Shen Jin had no choice but to speak up and explain to them, trying to save face.
However, the laughter of the tomb raiders did not subside in the slightest.
"I really didn't!" Shen Jin emphasized.
Seeing that Shen Jin had repeated himself, one of the tomb raiders nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, no, no."
However, Shen Jin felt that they were still making fun of him.
"I'm here to help. Is there anything I can do for you?" Shen Jin took a deep breath and got straight to the point.
As he spoke, Shen Jin was about to step forward, but upon seeing so much blood, he immediately retreated and stood there watching, unsure whether he should go up.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to help. There's nothing for you to do," one of the tomb raiders immediately said to Shen Jin.
“I…” Shen Jin began to speak, wanting to refute.
Before he could finish speaking, another person interrupted him, saying, "I already said it's not necessary. You should go and spend more time with Yan Yu."
"Yeah, yeah, go and stay with Yan Yu."
"Exactly, is it really okay for you to leave Yan Yu like this? Yan Yu will miss you."
Everyone chimed in, deliberately making the relationship between Shen Jin and Yan Yu sound ambiguous.
Hearing their words, Shen Jin felt a wave of helplessness.
Finally, having no other choice, Shen Jin returned to his original place, intending to stay with Yan Yu.
After all, he couldn't really help the tomb raiders, so it was better for him to stay away from such bloody scenes.
As soon as Shen Jin turned around, he saw that Yan Yu had already gotten up and was about to come over.
So Shen Jin quickened his pace and went over. When Yan Yu saw Shen Jin coming, he didn't go any further. Instead, he sat back down and waited for Shen Jin, otherwise Shen Jin would get angry later.
If he hadn't been afraid that Shen Jin would be angry, he would have gone there from the beginning.
Seeing that Yan Yu had sat back down, Shen Jin's expression softened, and he came to Yan Yu's side.
“You never remember what I tell you.” Shen Jin stood next to Yan Yu, looking down at him, and scolded him.
Yan Yu panicked slightly. He hurriedly tried to explain, "I didn't, I remembered it. I just saw you were scared, so I thought of..."
Halfway through his sentence, Yan Yu didn't know what to say next.
Seeing Shen Jin's expression, Yan Yu suddenly became extremely timid, silently lowering his head and not daring to explain anything further.
He felt that whatever he said was wrong.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu, pursed his lips, and sat down next to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then started chatting with Shen Jin: "Were you a little scared just now?"
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin turned around and glared at him.
Yan Yu had already been laughed at by those tomb raiders for a long time, and now he still wanted to bring this up.
"I'm not afraid." After a while, Shen Jin withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
Yan Yu blinked and looked at Shen Jin.
"I'm just not used to it because it's too bloody. Don't tell me I'm scared of everything. I'm not that timid," Shen Jin said helplessly to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu nodded quickly: "Okay, I won't say it again next time. You're quite bold."
He felt that he was the most timid one, always cautious and afraid to anger Shen Jin. Because of his timidity, he dared not speak to Shen Jin or express his feelings to him.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin remained silent.
“Then next time you encounter something bloody like this, don’t touch it. Hide behind me and let me do it, okay?” Yan Yu thought for a while and then said to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu without saying a word, and the two just stared at each other.
A gust of wind blew by, and both of their hair became a little messy.
Shen Jin reached out and tidied his hair, then turned back without answering Yan Yu's question.
Yan Yu felt that Shen Jin probably didn't want to chat with him, so he didn't say anything more and just sat silently with Shen Jin.
After a long time, the tomb raiders had finished processing their prey, cleaning it thoroughly so it was ready to eat.
The tomb raiders then brought over the meat and took out many cooking utensils.
"Let's get started. We'll have meat to eat soon," one of the tomb raiders said to the crowd as he set up the frame.
Hearing his words, everyone became somewhat excited.
After all, they hadn't eaten meat for so long, and now they were finally able to have some. Besides, they had been hunting all day and were starving.
"We're in for a treat now," one of the tomb raiders chimed in, offering his congratulations.
"Of course, I guarantee my meat will be delicious," the tomb raider replied quickly.
Then, everyone started discussing how to eat it, and with everyone chiming in, various ways of eating it quickly emerged.
"Alright, alright, I've got it all. Anyway, we have so much meat, so let's cook it however we like." The tomb raider in charge of cooking started preparing the meal.
Everyone quickly expressed their agreement.
Soon, everyone lit a fire together and prepared various ways to eat the meat: boiling, roasting, frying, and deep-frying, filling the air with a wonderful aroma.
"It smells so good! If this were outside, the neighbor's kid would be drooling with envy." Yan Yu couldn't help but exclaim as he smelled the aroma.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the tomb raider smiled.
"Hehe, that's for sure. You should eat more meat then, it'll help you recover faster." The tomb raider replied to Yan Yu.
"Okay, okay." Yan Yu nodded in agreement quickly.
Before long, some of the meat was ready to eat.
"Everyone, come and eat," the tomb raider said, taking out the meat.
Soon, everyone had formed a circle and began to savor the hard-won meat.
"Delicious, delicious..."
"It's so delicious! I can finally eat meat!"
"Don't talk to me, just let me eat."
Everyone exclaimed in admiration.
Hearing them talking so exaggeratedly, Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to pick up some meat for Shen Jin.
"Thank you," Shen Jin said.
"You need to eat more. You're too thin and don't have much meat on you." Yan Yu continued to put some large pieces of meat on Shen Jin's plate.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin paused slightly.
"Hmm." After a long while, Shen Jin finally responded with a low voice.
Now it was Yan Yu's turn to be stunned. He had thought Shen Jin would ignore him, but he didn't expect Shen Jin to actually answer him.
A surge of joy spread through Yan Yu's heart; the feeling was as sweet as honey.
Afterwards, Shen Jin lowered his head and continued eating meat, ignoring Yan Yu.
Yan Yu was still basking in the joy of Shen Jin's reply and continued to smile.
He felt this was a good start, and he was determined to perform well so that Shen Jin would treat him even better and take their relationship to the next level.
