He was moved by her like this
Fuying closed his eyes to rest, when he suddenly heard the sound of water breaking, followed by the sound of crackling.
She lazily opened her eyelids and saw a fish with shiny silver scales flapping and struggling on the bank of the stream. Its tail splashed mud and water everywhere and bounced high.
Fu Ying raised his chin and looked for a moment, his eyes falling on the deep stream, and ripples slowly spread out.
She stood up and walked to the stream, kicking the fish on the shore back into the water.
In a moment, Fu Ying turned around and built a fire. He took out fresh animal meat from the space, marinated it, and put it on the fire. The piece of meat hung over the flame and slowly rotated, gradually emitting a crystal-clear oily luster.
Yu Li woke up from the chaos, and the rich aroma of barbecue first entered his nostrils.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. In his hazy vision, there was a cluster of dancing flames.
But all his attention was drawn to the slender figure sitting in front of the fire.
She was wrapped in strange animal skins, just like her, different and unique.
Fu Ying lowered his eyes as he sprinkled powder on the barbecue. His movements were quick and decisive. He was obviously a treasure praised by the tribe, but he seemed to have done everything he did thousands of times. It made people wonder, but at the same time, they couldn't help but want to explore.
In the light of the fire, her face became even more captivating, beautiful, enchanting, but not gaudy, her skin was whiter than snow, and the most alluring thing was her eyes, narrow and long fox eyes, sometimes smart, sometimes quiet, sometimes cunning, and sometimes lazy.
However, these beautiful eyes were always calm when looking at him, as if he was just a stone, a tree, a pool of water, and they were reluctant to give him even a trace of extra emotion.
What he remembered most vividly was when she came to the tribe to look for Qinglan.
She stood in the mist, and when she spoke to him, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, a sneer was on the corners of her lips, and frost was condensed on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
In fact, he had met Fu Ying before they became engaged.
At that time, she was the most dazzling pearl of the Oasis Tribe, a little female born from the union of the chief and the witch. She was born with an eye-catching demeanor. Her appearance was not much different from before, but her temperament was completely different from before.
In the past, he had only heard about her, and through the experience of his prince, he concluded that she was a cruel and ruthless woman.
But now, in just over a month, he had truly seen her, who would smile the brightest for her beloved male, and was even willing to fight against dozens of tribes for the sake of the fallen orc husband, just to protect one person, and would even take risks alone to save her male. The light on her seemed to be able to illuminate everyone.
He didn't understand what had changed her, but there was no doubt that he was attracted to Fu Ying today.
At this moment, her eyebrows were half-drooped lazily, revealing a careless and tired look.
In the interweaving of light and shadow, she casually and diligently turned the barbecue, and the crackling sparks made her profile flicker.
Yu Li was stunned for a moment and couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or awake.
Fu Ying raised her eyes to look at Yu Li who was staring at her in a daze: "Come and have something to eat when you wake up."
Her voice was so calm as if she was talking about the weather, without any of the joy and excitement of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".
Yu Li's Adam's apple rolled, and he slowly stood up with the help of his arms. The burning pain in his body had subsided, but every step he took still felt like he was stepping on cotton.
He moved his steps and slowly walked to Fu Ying's side. He sat down heavily, his breathing hoarse: "You saved me?"
"What else?" Fu Ying glanced at him.
"Brother, you're an orc, not one of those unintelligent beasts who only know how to kill and don't even know your own weight. You're trying to be a hero and almost died going to see the Beast God. Isn't that an honor?"
Yu Li paused when he heard that, his pale lips trembling slightly. When he turned to look at Fu Ying, tiny ripples appeared in his gilded eyes, but he didn't know how to explain: "I, I just..."
Fu Ying handed over the barbecue in his hand and said lightly: "I just want to protect me."
This sentence accurately revealed the thoughts that Yu Li had tried hard to conceal. His face turned even paler and he slowly took the barbecue handed to him by Fu Ying. His muscles were tense and his lips moved. He wanted to say something, but his throat was so dry and painful that he didn't know how to start.
In the silence of the crackling campfire, Fu Ying held a cup of warm water in her hand and took a sip. This was how she took care of her health even during her pregnancy.
"Why do you like me?" she suddenly asked, her voice as soft as snowflakes.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Yu Li, who was still between immaturity and maturity.
He was born with a good appearance, sharp eyebrows, narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, a clean jawline, handsome features, and bright golden hair that shone brightly even in the dark night, like crushed sunlight.
What is even more rare is his innate arrogance, as if he was born to stand on top.
A young man like this shouldn't be easily moved and fall in love with just any female.
Fu Ying thought about it carefully. During the time she was in the Black Crocodile Swamp, she and Yu Li had almost no interaction and barely exchanged a few words. So she fell in love with him? So much so that she was willing to sacrifice her life for him?
If she wanted to win over someone, she had plenty of ways to make the latter fall in love with her, but the problem was that she didn't do anything!
She was genuinely curious.
Fu Ying asked so bluntly that Yu Li's back suddenly tensed up, and the burning pain in the wound intensified as she spoke.
He opened his mouth to deny it, but when he met Fu Ying's narrow and beautiful eyes, all his excuses were stuck in his throat.
Fu Ying shrugged lightly and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
She stood up and walked towards the doorway in the mountain wall. Yu Li struggled to keep up, but suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her: "Hurry back to the tribe. Once you find the medicine and cure Wu, I will let him go back. You don't need to follow me."
Yu Li froze in place, his clenched fists trembling slightly, not sure if it was because of pain or something else.
Seeing that slender figure getting farther and farther away from him, Yu Li suddenly felt an unprecedented panic in his chest.
His gilded pupils contracted violently, and a strong premonition gripped his heart. If he didn't speak out his thoughts this time, he would never have another chance in the future.
"What am I hesitating about?" Yu Li curled his lips in self-mockery.
When orcs are courting, they always speak their mind directly and never shy away. When did he become like this?
Thinking of this, Yu Li suddenly propped himself up, and his slender figure swayed twice in the firelight.
The wound on his back felt like it was tearing apart due to the tension in his body, but he paid no attention to it. After managing to steady himself, he shouted to Fu Ying, "Fu Ying! I love you!"
"I like your decisiveness, which is different from that of ordinary females!"
"I like that even though you're powerful, you still cherish every male!"
"I love your courage to protect your partner even if it means making the entire continent your enemy!"
Yu Li's golden hair was blown up by the night wind, and he staggered forward a few steps.
He panted heavily and looked straight at Fu Ying: "I also like your... moans when you are excited."
Under the moonlight, the young man straightened his back stubbornly. Even though his wounds hurt and his vision was black, he still looked straight ahead. His eyes were full of love. This was the most straightforward courtship gesture of an orc, frank and sincere.
