The voice full of self-blame made Ye Luoxing stop moving the wooden chair.
"But aren't you here for me?" Ye Luoxing moved the last wooden chair.
"I haven't helped you in any way, and yet I still want you to protect me..." Feng He just glanced at her and lowered his head, saying these words contemptuously. He was not pretending to show her, but he truly felt that he was a burden.
Ye Luoxing put together the temporary bed. She came to the nest and turned the wooden chair closest to it over.
Then, she slowly sat down on the wooden chair beside the den. She looked at the beast, who lowered his head, and said, "You risked your own life to chase me for me. Although you didn't achieve the desired result, your heart was fervent and sincere. You wanted to save me, and you didn't want to lose. You're not stupid, and you certainly didn't lose on purpose..."
"If a companion goes to great lengths and risks his life to save another companion, then we should not focus on the result, but on the process. It is not right to change our attitude towards a companion simply based on whether the plan is successful or not, right?" She spoke these words slowly, gently and without fear of aggression, and a power slowly surged into Feng He's heart.
Feng He looked up at her and said, "If I were stronger, I might be able to rescue you."
Ye Luoxing shook his head. "Even if you level up a few more times, you won't be able to defeat enemy beasts that far outnumber you. An overwhelming swarm of enemies is too powerful for a single warrior to handle. Besides—Feng He, I never ask my companions to be very strong. It's enough for them to do their best within their capabilities."
"After all, rather than a strong man, I think what everyone needs more is a companion who can be trusted, a companion worthy of trust." Those deep black pupils collided with those shining golden pupils, all her sincerity and emotions were in them. Those golden pupils trembled and stared at her for a long time, without looking away, and without blinking...
Every word she said made his heart beat faster. Her seriousness, her words, and her beauty captivated his soul.
He fell in love with a female like her with his fiery soul. The throbbing feeling he felt was completely different from the throbbing feeling he felt when he first met her. Feng He wanted to calm his pounding heart, but he couldn't. If one day... she appeared in front of him with a different appearance, he would definitely recognize her, he was sure of it.
Feng He murmured, "Luo Xing, I will always be there for you. If one day you encounter difficulties because of me, you can abandon me without hesitation. I will accept it calmly, whether you leave or die. I know I may not be good enough. If you hate me, I..."
Before he could finish his next words, Ye Luoxing added, "I like it."
Feng He was stunned. He stared at her blankly. The two words she suddenly said wrapped his heart.
A gentle smile appeared on Ye Luoxing's face: "I don't hate you, I like you."
She repeated it again to make her meaning clearer. Feng He was completely frozen in place at this moment, his mind was blank, and it was as if countless images were constantly sliding through his mind. He looked at her blankly, unable to utter a word.
Ye Luoxing leaned closer, looked at his dazed look, and said with a smile: "How could I hate a companion who devotes himself wholeheartedly? I like him very much."
I like it very much - these three simple words struck his heart and his soul, and his golden pupils were filled with bright lights.
Feng He thought that maybe what she said about liking her was not what he understood, but he - really liked her.
I really like it...
I love it...
I like her so much...
I love hearing her talk, I love the smell of her, I love every contact with her, I love hearing her say "those three words."
Every time, every time, it makes his heart softer and stronger. She is everything in his heart and soul...
Feng He tried hard to control himself, but she was right in front of him, and he couldn't control himself. His heart and eyes were filled with her. He slowly raised his right hand and looked at her affectionately. He wanted to merge with her, he wanted to touch her, to touch the one he cared about, the one he loved deeply...
"Luo Xing..." He whispered her name, wanting to kiss her lips gently, and the stars in his eyes turned into one.
The sunlight from the window streamed in, casting a shadow on the profiles of the two figures. Every expression on each other's face could be seen clearly, and each other's figure was reflected in each other's eyes. The spring breeze ruffled his and her hair, and also stirred their restless hearts...
The fragrance of flowers accompanied the sound of the stream, and their breathing interacted with each other, and just as Feng He was getting closer and closer to her, almost hugging her waist——
Footsteps were heard, and a violent aura came with it. Then, with a "bang", the wooden house was pressed hard against the wall by a big hand, making a clear sound, breaking the silence in the room. Ye Luoxing had already slowly distanced himself from Feng He when the footsteps were heard.
But Xilan Meng and Pochen outside the house still saw something, or rather, sensed something...
Ye Luoxing and Feng He both looked towards the door. Xilan Meng was still trying to maintain his expression, but Pochen's face was surprisingly ugly. Both beastmen saw the deep affection in Feng He's eyes, saw his eagerness, and smelled a scent that shouldn't be on him...
Ye Luoxing sat up straight, looked at the two orcs who were staring at Feng He at the door, and asked, "Where were you just now? Why are you back?"
Feng He felt lost. He ignored the hostile looks from the two male beastmen at the door and just lowered his eyes...
He was adjusting his emotions, trying to calm his racing heart down to normal...
Xilan Meng walked into the house and said, "I went to the cabin next door to get some things. It seems like I came back at the right time."
Xilan smiled with a forced smile on his face. He walked into the house holding a few wooden boards. Pochen followed him in with a pile of wooden boards.
Pochen's attitude was much more direct than Xilan Meng's. He said coldly, "Fortunately, we came back early, otherwise..."
"Ha~" Pochen suddenly sneered, threw the wooden board to the ground, and transformed his hands into sharp claws, pointing them in the direction of Feng He, "Or he would have eaten you, wouldn't he? Low-class beast, I've warned you more than once, but you haven't learned to behave yourself at all!"
Pochen suddenly attacked, and before Ye Luoxing and Feng He could react, Xilan Meng stepped sideways and blocked Pochen.
He smiled faintly at Ye Luoxing, then turned his head and said to Pochen, "Alright, stop causing trouble here. Have you forgotten what you said?"
"Xilan Meng!" Pochen shouted his name in a deep, angry voice. "You're willing to speak nicely to that lowly beast, but I'm not. I want to kill every one of you filthy northern tribes I see. Keep putting on that smiling face, but don't forget who you are!"
Po Chen looked at Xilan Meng coldly, and after saying these words, he turned around and left the wooden house, taking his murderous aura with him.
