Although Daqing was a chatterbox, Su Shiwei was the most taciturn person in the whole family, and the two of them could be counted on two hands.
Seeing Su Shiwei in his room suddenly made Da Qing feel a little strange.
"I'll stay here for the night." Su Shiwei didn't beat around the bush and placed the animal hide on the kang (heated brick bed).
"You want to sleep with me?"
"Um."
Su Shiwei tidied up the animal hides on the bed, folded Da Qing's messy animal hide quilt neatly and put it on the inside, while putting her own animal hide on the outside.
Although he wasn't used to sleeping with others, it was better to squeeze in with Daqing than to scare the girl.
Humans are inherently weak, and there was no warmer place in the entire Beast Mountain than the stone house, which was just the right place for her to rest peacefully for the night.
Su Shiwei's thoughts drifted away, and she didn't notice Da Qing's wide-open eyes.
Just as he laid out the animal hide and was about to lie down...
Daqing jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), her palms facing him, her wide eyes filled with resistance.
His feet pounded on the kang (a heated brick bed), making Su Shiwei think he was trying to break it down.
"No, you can't sleep with me!"
"Why?" Su Shiwei asked in confusion. Was this kid so particular about sleeping? He used to sleep in a thatched hut. Why couldn't he even sleep with me for one night?
"No, no, absolutely not." Daqing shook his head. "Sleeping together means we're partners, and I don't want to become partners with you. Get out, get out now."
He had no desire to become partners with Su Shiwei. This male was no fun at all and didn't like to talk. Even if he were to find a partner, he would want someone like Liu'er.
As he spoke, he rolled up Su Shiwei's animal skin, stuffed it into his hand, and acted as if he wanted to send him away.
Su Shiwei: "???"
"You're overthinking it, I'm just sleeping here for the night..."
"You're overthinking it. Anyway, it's not going to work. Get out."
Before Su Shiwei could explain, she was pushed out of the room, and a loud bang was heard behind her as the door slammed shut.
His face was full of question marks.
No, they took this kid in, but now they won't even let him sleep in half of their bed?
What an ungrateful bastard!
Su Shiwei thought for a moment with a dark face. If he went to Su Jianyuan and Xiao Fu, those two boys would definitely ask him all sorts of questions, so he simply gave up.
He wrapped the animal skin around himself and sat down outside the door.
Forget it, let him go in after Daqing falls asleep. He can lean against the door and soak up some of the warmth inside. Daqing can't stay up all night, can he?
Inside the room, Da Qing could naturally hear that Su Shiwei outside the door had not left.
He patted his chest, looking terrified.
He's not stupid. Becoming partners means being together for life. He's not the same Daqing he used to be. He can't accept just any beastman anymore.
He only wanted to be with Liu'er forever.
Thinking of this, a light suddenly flashed in Daqing's eyes!
That's right! If he and Liu'er become partners, they can never be separated again!
He's so smart!
While excited, Daqing looked at the door with a determined expression. He was determined not to let Awei in tonight.
No one but Liu'er can sleep with him!
And so it was.
That evening, Su Shiwei opened the door three times. Each time he heard no sound from the room and thought Daqing was asleep, he pushed the door open and was met with Daqing's eyes, which were even brighter than light bulbs.
After being kicked out of the room for the third time, Su Shiwei couldn't help but question the meaning of life.
This kid really doesn't sleep at night!
Unable to enter the room, Su Shiwei had no choice but to sleep on the floor outside the door.
Da Qing, who had successfully defended himself, was full of pride. He used to be able to stay awake for several nights in a row in the forest. No one could sneak in while he was sleeping!
The next morning.
Su Shiwei was not surprised to have two deep dark circles under her eyes.
Thinking that the girl could finally get a good night's sleep, he shook his head, not dwelling on the suffering he had endured the previous night. He turned and went to the kitchen, casually stuffing two pieces of sweet potato into his mouth, and then ladled out a bowl of hot porridge before returning to his room.
The fireplace outside wasn't lit in the morning, and the family had a habit of bringing breakfast back to their room to eat, so Lin Xia didn't think much of it.
While tidying up the kitchen, he muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, one of my bowls is missing..."
...
Pushing open the door, Su Shiwei saw that the bed was spotless, with no signs of having been touched. Dirty clothes were even folded and placed next to the bucket, and even the basin and bones on the table had been cleaned up.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the girl huddled beside the table leg.
Su Shiwei's expression froze for a moment. Had she been sleeping like this all night?
Before she could speak, Lin Shanyue opened her eyes. The moment she saw Su Shiwei, the drowsiness in her eyes vanished and turned into vigilance. She quickly stood up.
"You...you're back..."
She was about to say something when she turned her head and found that it was already broad daylight.
Is it already the second day?
He didn't come back all night last night?
While Lin Shanyue was still in a daze, Su Shiwei had already placed the porridge on the table. He glanced at her face, which was contorted from the numbness in her legs, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and instead composed himself, saying:
"This is food."
Pointing to the porridge on the table, Su Shiwei turned around and took out the empty bowls and basins on the table, as well as the bucket and dirty clothes on the ground.
The door closed again.
Lin Shanyue breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to slowly let her numb legs recover.
Once the tingling sensation subsided, she realized something was amiss.
This beastman... isn't as annoying as he was yesterday. At least he's neither cold nor hungry here. Aside from being a bit too calculating, he's still much better than the humans who attacked the Divine Tree Tribe.
Lin Shanyue never imagined in her life that she would actually think that a beastman was better than a human.
Lin Shanyue twitched her nose, looked at the fragrant porridge on the table, and picked it up without hesitation to put it in her mouth.
I don't know how much longer I have to live. It's better to die well than to starve.
As if timed perfectly, Su Shiwei came in again just as Lin Shanyue put down her bowl.
Seeing that the bowl was completely empty, just like yesterday, and that the bowl had been rinsed with water and even the rinsed water had been drunk, Su Shiwei looked away, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Thank you." Lin Shanyue, whose expression was tense, did not notice Su Shiwei's expression and twisted her hands together.
"I will return the food I ate here and the clothes you gave me with salty sand when I return to my tribe."
Lin Shanyue said with a serious expression.
As the daughter of a human chieftain, she never took anything from others for free.
Not to mention that what she eats and uses here with the beastmen is something she has never seen before, so it must be very precious.
If she could truly take revenge, she would repay him tenfold; if the beastmen had deceived her, then she would pay with her life.
In any case, she didn't get it for nothing.
"good."
A hint of gentleness appeared in Su Shiwei's usually calm eyes.
"Oh, right!" Lin Shanyue suddenly remembered something, opened the animal skin that Su Shiwei had brought yesterday, and took out the two small clothes.
