Chapter 83 Roses and Love
"Su Yun, what are you doing...?" Ye Feng stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
His expression was as if he had been struck by lightning, like a husband who had been betrayed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Su Yun: ? ? ?
She only wanted to touch the deer's antlers, but it was as if she had done something wrong.
She suddenly felt a little guilty, awkwardly withdrew her hand, and said with an embarrassed laugh, "No, no... I didn't do anything."
The two men stared at each other, locked in a standoff.
The night wind looked aggrieved and angry.
Su Yun responded with an awkward, ingratiating smile.
Then a voice broke the silence between the two, "Sister, aren't you going to touch me anymore?"
The innocent little deer was on tenterhooks for a long time, waiting for Su Yun's next move, but then Su Yun suddenly stopped.
His heart was also hanging in mid-air.
The deer's antlers tilted slightly as he looked at Su Yun with a puzzled expression, then at the orc boy who had suddenly barged in. "Who is he?"
Hearing the little deer's childish voice, Su Yun's lips twitched, and she felt that something terrible was about to happen.
Sure enough, Ye Feng's ears drooped instantly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
What do you mean by "he is"?
He is clearly the owner of this place.
What does "touching" mean again?
What else is "older sister"? Such an affectionate term.
The night wind angrily stormed out the door.
Su Yun, left bewildered in the wind, stretched out her hand like Er Kang, "Night Wind, don't go, let me explain!"
Su Yun was about to chase after them.
Then, Little Deer, looking completely bewildered and still not understanding what was going on, continued, "What happened? Why did he leave? Isn't he coming back? Sister, aren't you going to touch me anymore?"
Su Yun was thinking about comforting the kitten that had run away from home again, and she was also thinking about the feel of the deer antlers. She didn't react for a moment, and while walking, she kept looking back and mumbled, "Later, later, I'll pet it later."
Then, Ye Feng, who hadn't gone far, stood by the door, afraid that Su Yun wouldn't catch up, and heard the conversation again. "I'll touch her later."
Night Wind was furious, feeling both angry and aggrieved. So, what he had only intended to do was walk to the door, but in his anger, he flicked his tail and ran away.
When Su Yun reached the door, the person had already disappeared.
"Where did they go?" Su Yun looked left and right.
It was dusk after the heavy rain.
The bright yellow sun peeked out from the thick clouds, dyeing the layers of clouds in varying shades of orange, turning the entire sky into a magnificent oil painting.
Su Yun walked on the path after the rain. The torrential rain washed away the hot air and brought a cool breeze to the world. The plants, which had been waiting for rain for a long time, were happy to wash off the dust and tried to sprout tender green leaves.
Everywhere you look, there are water droplets of all shapes and sizes, hanging upside down among the leaves, gathering on the branches, and bending over the trunk... The beautiful water droplets reflect colorful light like the purest crystals. When the wind blows gently, they lie comfortably among the leaves and roll around, reflecting a delicate fluorescent glow.
The world was bright and clear, and everything was lovely.
I felt the same way as Su Yun.
She hummed a song as she slowly walked along the path, searching for the night breeze...
The events unfolded so suddenly that Su Yun didn't have time to react. Seeing Ye Feng run away from home again, she felt only anxiety...
Then she rushed out to look for it, but gradually, she began to realize what was going on.
Ah, why are you suddenly angry?
Ah, why did you suddenly decide to run away from home?
Could it be that Ye Feng was too concerned about himself, and thus misunderstood and became jealous?
If misunderstandings occur, if jealousy arises, and if anger is felt, does that mean the other person truly likes her?
Thinking of this, Su Yun's mood brightened up a bit, just like the scenery after the rain, but she was also a little uneasy.
It is necessary to confirm this.
Su Yun walked along, lost in thought.
......
Finally, after searching for a long time, Su Yun finally found the other person next to the chicken coop.
She was completely baffled. She searched for streams, lotus ponds, peach groves, and banks covered with wild roses, but she never expected to find Ye Feng in the chicken coop.
"Night wind, night wind, so you've been here all along!"
Hearing that Su Yun had come looking for him, Ye Feng was overjoyed. His ears perked up instantly, and his little tail began to wag involuntarily.
But--
Su Yun: What are you doing here?
Su Yun's next words, however, made him feel wronged instantly. What was he doing here? How could she even ask that?
Ye Feng, who was already feeling aggrieved, felt even more aggrieved now. His ears and tail drooped down. He had been thinking of going out to clear his head, but then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't fed the chickens yet. If he didn't feed them, Su Yun would have to sneak over in the dark later. Because he was thinking about feeding the chickens, he picked some sweet potato vegetables and then ran over to feed them.
She's already raised a new younger brother, but he's still standing here feeding her chickens!
Sobbing.
Su Yun looked at Ye Feng standing in the middle of the chicken coop, puzzled. She thought he was going for a walk, but she didn't expect him to come to the dirty and smelly chicken coop, so she asked him in confusion.
"You already have a new younger brother, why are you still bothering me?" Night Wind's reply was completely irrelevant.
But it doesn't matter.
Hearing this reply, tinged with a hint of grievance and resentment, Su Yun was surprisingly in a good mood. She smiled and beckoned him closer, "Ye Feng, come here for a moment. I have something I want to tell you..."
The night wind lowered its head, completely unwilling to pay attention to her, but seeing her smiling face, its feet couldn't help but move closer.
He slowly climbed over the chicken coop fence, head slumped, and came to the smiling girl.
Stay one meter away from her.
Looking at the girl in the distance, and at the smile on her face, his heart ached with a bittersweet feeling, and he was so sad that even his tail drooped.
"What is it?" the kitten asked listlessly.
Su Yun smiled and waved, "Come closer, I'm afraid you can't hear me."
The night wind "reluctantly" took a step forward.
Su Yun looked at the kitten, whose whole body was filled with unhappiness, and couldn't help but find it amusing. Then she beckoned to the kitten to lower its head, "Closer. I'm afraid you can't hear me clearly."
"What?" Ye Feng looked puzzled, but still obediently lowered his head.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Feng had grown a head taller than Su Yun. He obediently lowered his head, and Su Yun, standing on tiptoe, whispered in his ear, "Actually, I prefer the roses you gave me to the lilies."
The girl's sweet, soft whispers brushed against his ear, the gentle breath caressing the downy hairs on the back of his ear.
My ear twitched slightly, uncontrollably.
The sour and swollen feeling from just a moment ago has all turned into bubbles, becoming sweet bubbles that are bubbling up in my heart. The bubbles of joy are filling my heart, and I feel like they are about to overflow.
He traveled a long way to pick these roses, and she said she liked them very much, even more than she liked lilies; they were her favorite.
Its tail wagged even more enthusiastically, and all the gloom and resentment of the afternoon vanished at that moment, leaving only sweet joy.
Before leaving, Su Yun found a bunch of red roses by the door. She didn't know where Ye Feng had picked them from, but they were wrapped up very carefully and tied into a large bunch, with even the thorns carefully removed.
The bright red petals, glistening with raindrops, are delicate and beautiful yet gentle on the skin.
It's clear that they really put a lot of effort into it.
Moreover, roses also symbolize love.
Su Yun smiled slightly as she looked at her cat. "Let's go home."
The runaway cat was once again tricked back home by a gentle girl. Along the way, the night breeze blew as the girl softly held its hand, and even the curve of its tail resembled a tiny heart. Of course, this didn't last long—
Su Yun was so happy that she forgot there was someone else at home.
The little deer looked curiously at the two holding hands, her eyes full of wonder. "Sister, you're back! Touch me—"
What?
Not again?
Night Breeze instantly got angry again and shook off Su Yun's hand.
"—The horn?"
Su Yun looked at her empty palm with a headache, and helplessly supported her forehead. "Young man, can you please stop making strange punctuation marks? It's easy to cause 'family' conflicts."
Night Wind's eyes, sharp as swords, swept over the antler-wearing boy opposite him before turning to Su Yun, puffing out his cheeks, "What exactly is going on here?"
Su Yun rubbed her temples and explained the whole story again, "So, Xiao Lu might stay here with us for a while. So—I hope everyone can get along well."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two of them with expectant eyes.
"Yes, I will be good and won't cause trouble for my older brothers and sisters." The little deer's voice was sweet as she nodded earnestly, indicating that she would listen carefully.
Night Wind angrily flicked its tail, snorted, and turned away in a huff.
Su Yun's eyes lit up as she looked at the angry kitten. She felt both happy and a little hesitant. Looking at the puffed-up cat, she couldn't help but wonder, is this what jealousy and concern between lovers mean?
but--
At the same time, she still felt some hesitation and uncertainty.
Because Su Yun had no prior dating experience, she was still quite hesitant and prone to jealousy. It's like when a close friend suddenly makes a new friend; she'd be jealous and concerned, right? And wouldn't she be unhappy if someone close to her had a new friend? So the question is—does this concern actually mean she likes him?
Is it love?
Su Yun, experiencing her first crush, had no answer. Like a blind man, she groped in the darkness of uncertainty and uncertainty, slowly testing each other's feelings. The closer they got, the more afraid she became, the less she dared to believe. Perhaps this is what unrequited love is like: forever hoping, forever questioning, forever harboring unease, constantly testing each other's hearts, until the day the truth finally arrives...
That day, she was both afraid and looking forward to it.
Su Yun suppressed her pounding heart and carefully and nervously observed the other person's expression.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Little Deer asked curiously, peeking out from behind the window.
Su Yun turned her head in a panic: "Nothing, nothing~"
"Really? But it's clearly—"
Su Yun quickly and hurriedly changed the subject: "Dinner's almost ready!"
"Hmm? Then, sister, won't you touch my antlers? My antlers feel amazing, you can try them if you don't believe me." The little deer watched as Su Yun enthusiastically promoted her antlers.
The brownish-yellow antlers shimmered with a faint luster and looked incredibly soft to the touch. Su Yun's heart was itching to try them, and she was about to agree.
However, Ye Feng, who seemed nonchalant and was busy around the well, immediately turned his sharp gaze toward them after overhearing their conversation.
Seeing the hidden danger in those eyes, Su Yun swallowed hard and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands frantically, refusing, "No need, no need, I still have to cook."
"Oh, I see..." Having looked forward to it for so long, only to suddenly find herself no longer needed, Little Deer's mood instantly plummeted, her fan-like eyelashes drooping down, making her look somewhat pitiful.
Seeing that the other person was sad because of this, Su Yun, the culprit, quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Little Deer, what do you eat? Grass? Or meat? Let me prepare it for you."
Hearing Su Yun's special concern, the little deer instantly perked up again, its eyes sparkling like two little stars: "I eat grass, leaves are fine, and I can eat a little meat too, but not much."
Su Yun: "Ah, so it really does eat grass? That makes it really easy to raise."
"Yes, so will you take care of me, sister?" The little deer looked at the girl expectantly. If all went well, he could complete the task his parents had entrusted to him. So he tried his best to promote himself: "I eat very little, I'm very easy to take care of..."
Staring into those innocent, round eyes like a deer's, Su Yun almost impulsively agreed, "No problem!"
Then a clanging sound came from the well; the night wind had "accidentally" dropped the water ladle on the ground.
Su Yun instantly snapped back to reality. No, no, the residents they recruited had to meet the basic principles of self-reliance and mutual assistance. Forget about supporting them, absolutely not.
To make a good start, Su Yun adopted a serious expression and cleared his throat, "Ahem—"
Sensing Su Yun's sudden serious expression, Xiao Lu's expression instantly fell, and a layer of mist clouded her dark eyes.
Su Yun couldn't bring herself to be so harsh on such a pretty "soft girl." She softened her expression and lowered her voice: "No, you have to learn to be self-reliant to survive in the apocalypse. So we all have to work hard and strive to do our best. We can't rely on others, understand?"
"Okay~"
He said exactly the same thing as his mother. Little Deer slumped down again, but he didn't stay discouraged for long. Seeing Su Yun cooking, he remembered the secret his father had taught him and eagerly followed her, saying, "Sister, let me help you!"
"Help me? But Ye Feng has already washed the vegetables, uh... then could you watch the fire for me?"
"Okay!" The little deer shook its antlers and happily agreed, sitting obediently on the small stool in front of the stove, happily helping Su Yun add firewood to the fire.
By the way—
It naturally squeezed out the original position of the night wind.
Ye Feng, who was supposed to start a fire, stood by the threshold, his hand on the threshold, looking very mournful.
Su Yun scratched his head and said, "Ye Feng, you've been busy all day. Take a rest first. We can eat later."
The night wind felt wronged, sad, and unhappy, and Su Yun even spoke up for it.
The other party has already taken his place, so how far away is the day when they snatch him away?
Night Wind became even angrier at this thought.
No, no, he absolutely cannot let this happen!
Something has to be done!
