She immediately remembered what Sheng Yi had said before: there were traps and dangers in the forest.
So, she took one last, reluctant look at the little roe deer, then turned and headed towards Sheng Yi.
Only when the person walked up to him unharmed did Sheng Yi truly feel relieved.
He was clearly very anxious, but he didn't dare let Zhu Qing see his anxiety, so he could only ask in a calm tone.
"Okay, okay, why did you go over there? Did you see something?"
Even so, Zhu Qinghao could still see the unease and anxiety in his eyes.
She knew she had almost caused trouble, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I just saw a little roe deer. It was so cute. It didn't seem afraid of me, but as soon as I looked at it, it walked away."
Then I thought maybe I could go over and touch it, and I ended up following it further and further away, forgetting what you said before. I'm sorry, Sheng Yi-ge…”
As Zhu Qinghao spoke, she seemed very afraid of being blamed, her two fingers twisting the hem of her clothes incessantly, looking extremely uneasy.
Given her condition, how could Sheng Yi bear to blame her?
"So you saw that little guy. No wonder you attracted us so much. It's alright, it's not your fault. It's just that the little roe deer was too attractive."
Since you like it so much, I'll see if I can catch a live one for you another day.
Zhu Qinghao admitted that she was momentarily moved, but reason quickly prevailed, and she shook her head.
"No, I don't want to raise one. There's no place to raise one. If I really raised a roe deer, I don't know what the villagers would say. So let's just forget about it. I'm lucky if I can even eat one."
Actually, compared to raising a live roe deer, Zhu Qinghao would rather eat a roe deer, since the taste of roe deer isn't particularly good.
However, if she were to actually catch one alive in the future, she might be willing to keep it in her space for a while.
No one knew about the space, and she couldn't tell Sheng Yi, so she simply said she wouldn't raise it.
"You can keep it with my old man. He can say it's an injured roe deer he found, and keep it to keep him company. You can go see it when you have time."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghao shook her head and refused without the slightest hesitation.
"I'd rather not. I just like eating meat, but if it's meat I raised myself, I might not be able to bear eating it."
She wasn't lying. She used to feed the rabbits she kept in her space every few days with vegetable leaves. Over time, she developed feelings for them. So later, she simply handed them over to the space for one-click feeding to avoid developing feelings for them and being unable to bear killing any of them.
Sheng Yi stared at her for a while, and only after confirming that she genuinely didn't want to raise it did he give up the idea.
"Okay, then let's eat more."
"Okay!"
Afterwards, Sheng Yi explained to it the curious nature of roe deer, and Zhu Qinghao finally understood why it was so unafraid of people.
It was just because it was curious about itself?
"Is it curious about everything it sees? Or is it only curious about people? If it encounters a large wild beast and is this curious, wouldn't it be in danger of losing its life?"
Sheng Yi was amused by her question and decided to tease her a little, so he pretended to ask her a few questions.
"I don't know. I'm not very familiar with them. Even if I asked, they might not tell me."
"That makes sense... Hmm? Brother Sheng Yi, you!"
When Sheng Yi saw that she had realized what was happening, he smiled broadly.
