Qinglu remained silent for a long time, and Yu Wanwan raised her head in confusion.
But he suddenly stood up, his tone distant and indifferent: "I don't need you to take responsibility, nor do I need you to clarify. This matter has no impact on me. Let's leave it at that."
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Yu Wanwan for long before striding away from the cave.
Before Yu Wanwan could react, Qinglu's figure had already disappeared.
She sat on the bed, her expression still somewhat dazed.
So, was she... rejected?
Since that day, Yu Wanwan hasn't seen Qinglu recently, but the herbs and meals she receives every day have never stopped, and she's even eating better than before.
After recovering from her cold, Yu Wanwan wanted to leave the island. Now she just had to wait for the assessment results, and there were no more restrictions on leaving the island.
She summoned Su Hui, intending to ask him to escort her off the island.
Upon arriving, Su Hui headed straight for Qing Lu's cave, but after finding it empty, he went to Yu Wanwan's cave to look for her.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Why are you still living here?" The elder has already expressed his feelings, so Yu Wanwan shouldn't refuse. Is her standard really that high?
Yu Wanwan pouted: "What do you mean, 'what's wrong with me'?"
What does this have to do with her? She was the one who got rejected.
Su Hui looked at Yu Wanwan sitting on the bed and finally couldn't help but ask, "So what are you thinking? You don't really want Elder Qinglu to be your suitor for life, do you?"
A suitor is someone who desires but cannot obtain the desired outcome and is unwilling to give up. In the Orcish Continent, such an Orc has a lower status than a single Orc!
Even the elder has lowered his status, how can Yu Wanwan still be so arrogant? He's so worried for the elder.
Yu Wanwan lowered her head: "I know, but he doesn't like me, what can I do?"
I can't be like Flora, chasing after him and making him hate me.
"What do you mean he doesn't like you!" Su Hui, anxious for Qing Lu, immediately stood up: "Of course the elder likes you!"
He's already like that, how could he not like it?
"No, I didn't," Yu Wanwan muttered.
If he likes her, why doesn't he ask her to take responsibility? Why did he just leave and not show up for so many days?
Seeing Yu Wanwan's expression, Su Hui had a sudden flash of inspiration: "What's going on between you two? Just tell me, do you like our elder or not?"
Yu Wanwan blushed: "How can you ask so bluntly?"
Su Hui grew even more anxious, frantically slapping the palm of her other hand with the back of her hand: "Tell me now!"
In her heart, Qinglu was a very gentle beastman, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and considerate and thoughtful.
He would take good care of himself, bring her delicious food, and prevent her from playing in the snow for her health, yet he would still send her a snowman according to her description, and he would stay up all night to research and develop shoes.
She remembers all of these.
"I...I like it."
Upon receiving her reply, Su Hui was finally relieved: "You like him too, and he likes you too, so why aren't you two getting married? There must be some misunderstanding!"
Yu Wanwan snorted: "I've already asked you myself if there's any misunderstanding."
She briefly recounted what had happened that day to Su Hui.
“Qinglu never said he liked me from beginning to end, and he also said he didn’t want me to take responsibility, and he didn’t even need to clarify.”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.” Su Hui’s expression was firm: “He must like you.”
Su Hui stood up and paced around the room, recalling Qing Lu's unusual behavior, his disappointment, and his occasional silly smiles. He also thought about what his females liked, how to comfort them, and how to make them happy.
"...In short, he did all of these things. I didn't know who he was doing them for before, but now I know it was because of you." His previous guess was absolutely accurate! Yet he was misled and thought he had guessed wrong.
"And in the last few days, I've noticed that the elder has become completely dejected, spending all his time with the shaman. He never used to drink alcohol, but now he's been chugging bottle after bottle!"
What is this? Isn't this just heartbreak? If this is so obvious and it's not love, then what is love?
Yu Wanwan was surprised: "He actually asked you so many questions?" He even gave all the female fruits so that she could eat them?
"Yes, you should quickly explain it to the elder and become his partner!"
Everyone on Dragon Island believed that the position of elder and everything on Dragon Island was more important than females. However, for a beastman like Su Hui who didn't care much about these material things, finding a female he liked and having offspring was the most important thing.
The elder has such good genes, it would be such a waste!
He felt it was his duty to do something for the elders!
Su Hui pulled Yu Wanwan up from the ground and dragged her toward the cave entrance: "Come with me to the witch doctor and become a couple with the elder."
Yu Wanwan stumbled from his pull, but luckily she managed to steady herself and avoid falling flat on her face. She shook off Su Hui's hand and rubbed her aching wrist: "I can walk by myself, but as for things like forming a partnership, I need to ask Qinglu first."
After all, relationships involve two people, and she can't simply judge based on what a third party says. This time, she has to ask clearly and thoroughly.
The two went to the witch doctor, only to be told that Qinglu had left Dragon Island early that morning.
Yu Wanwan asked anxiously, "When will he be back?"
The witch doctor thought for a moment and said, "It should be tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll wait for him to come back."
