Extra: Shen Yihe
Although Shen Yihe returned to Wen Li, the relationship between them was still somewhat unnatural.
Even if something is broken and repaired, there will still be cracks.
Even though Wen Li is trying hard to adapt, it will still take some time to fully recover.
Wen Li tried her best to treat every beast husband equally, including Shen Yihe.
However, the atmosphere between the two of them is still a bit stiff, which is something Wen Li cannot change in a short time.
But she could feel that Shen Yihe was also cooperating with her and working hard for it.
So when Shen Yihe invited her to a date tomorrow, Wen Li was a little surprised, but she did not refuse and agreed very readily.
"See you tomorrow," Shen Yihe said to her.
"Okay," Wen Li nodded, watched his back disappear, and turned back to her room.
At this time, Pei Yu was already sitting at the head of the bed, lazily supporting half of his body with his clothes slightly open.
When he saw Wen Li coming over, he raised his eyebrows at her.
"What did he tell you?" Pei Yu asked.
The bed-warming activity is still going on, and today it is Pei Yu's turn.
Wen Li was already used to all this, so she sat down next to him naturally and replied, "He said he has a date tomorrow."
Pei Yu was a little surprised.
Speaking of which, it will be Shen Yihe's turn to warm the bed tomorrow. Although she doesn't know whether he will come, Wen Li thinks it is better to adapt in advance to avoid embarrassment later.
Pei Yu took the initiative to move closer to Wen Li and gently squeezed her shoulders.
Wen Li was a little stiff at first, but gradually relaxed.
Pei Yu's technique is pretty good, as it was carefully trained by Wen Li, and each stroke is precise on the acupoints.
Wen Li's body gradually softened, and only then did Pei Yu smile and say, "He finally told you."
"finally?"
Wen Li caught the unusual word and glanced back at Pei Yu, "What do you mean by 'finally'?"
"I saw that he had been preparing for it for a long time. I didn't expect him to say it now," Pei Yu said.
"...Really?" Wen Li seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't know that Shen Yihe would make any preparations.
"If he doesn't perform well tomorrow, don't take it to heart." Pei Yu thought for a moment and said something on behalf of his good brother, giving Wen Li a heads-up in advance. "He's just not good at this."
"Don't worry, I got it."
The next day, when Wen Li woke up, Pei Yu had already left.
He has been very busy recently and has something to do every day.
After a simple wash, Wen Li remembered her date with Shen Yihe in a while. After breakfast, she went back to her room to get ready.
Thinking of what Pei Yu said about Shen Yihe having been preparing for a long time today, Wen Li wondered whether she should also prepare to let the other party know how much she valued him.
Wen Li carefully selected a dress and dressed up. Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction.
As agreed, Wen Li came to the living room to find Shen Yihe, who had been waiting for a long time.
Not only that, Wen Li also noticed that he had dressed up carefully today.
His originally short black hair had grown a little longer and he tied it up with a red ribbon.
Her eyebrows were delicate and soft, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and her affectionate peach blossom eyes lit up the moment she saw Wen Li.
He also changed into new clothes. Wen Li had never seen him wear this before.
Shen Yihe's whole body is full of care.
After seeing Wen Li, he smiled at her gently.
In an instant, Wen Li felt a gust of hot wind coming towards her, and everything around her became brighter.
The power of appearance is so terrifying.
Wen Li came back to her senses, walked a few steps to him, and smelled the light fragrance emanating from him. It was not strong but pleasant.
Before, Shen Yihe didn’t have this smell on him.
Maybe he prepared it today?
Wen Li remembered what Pei Yu said to her yesterday. It seemed that Shen Yihe attached great importance to his date with her today.
Wen Li felt that this feeling was not bad. Her mood improved a bit and the smile on her face became more obvious.
At this time, Wen Li had not yet realized that her appearance was quite lethal.
She smiled sweetly at Shen Yihe, her bright eyes curved into a crescent shape, bright and full of vitality.
Shen Yihe was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his cheeks were already red.
Especially the ears, they were almost bleeding.
"Let's...let's go." Shen Yihe tried his best to ignore his nervousness and unnaturalness and came to Wen Li.
Wen Li followed him and asked, "Where are we going now?"
After finishing speaking, Wen Li took the initiative to hold Shen Yihe's hand.
Her action was very sudden for Shen Yihe. He was caught off guard and stopped in his tracks.
Wen Li thought he was unwilling to hold hands, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Before she finished saying the word "意", her hand was held by Shen Yihe.
“It’s okay,” Shen Yihe pursed his lips, “You can pull me.”
As he spoke, his hand had already wrapped around Wen Li's fingers, and with very gentle movements, he held her in his palm.
Wen Li could clearly feel his trembling, and a subtle feeling emerged in her heart. She curled her lips and said, "Okay."
She held Shen Yihe's hand back, interlocking their fingers.
The two walked out of the house hand in hand, and Wen Li asked again: "Where are you going later?"
"Let's go to the market." Shen Yihe said.
Shen Yihe had already customized a new date route in advance, which included the market, some popular dates spots in the tribe, and so on.
He had made all the preparations for today.
"OK."
There are quite a few good things in the tribal market, and Wen Li also wants to go and have a look to see if she can find any bargains.
The two arrived at the market not long after walking. The market was extremely lively at this time, with many shops coming and going and many customers shopping.
There were many people gathered at one of the stalls. Wen Li was also attracted by the bustle over there and pulled Shen Yihe over.
"Let's go and take a look."
The two of them came to the front of the shop together and found that the reason so many people gathered here was because a challenge event was taking place.
The stall owner was a middle-aged male, and some sparkling crystals were displayed on his stall.
These crystals, like beautiful fabrics, are a powerful weapon for women. With just a little polishing, they can be made into beautiful jewelry.
It is quite difficult to obtain so many crystals of various colors, so it is no wonder that so many females gather here.
"What are you doing?" Wen Li asked a female next to her.
"A challenge," the female kindly explained, "if you succeed, you can choose any of the crystals."
Wen Li suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were so many people here. It not only attracted females, but also some people who liked to watch the fun.
Wen Li's eyes swept across the crystals on the reward table, and when her gaze fell on one of them, her eyes lit up.
There are actually jadeite rough stones! ?
Only a small part of the fist-sized stone was exposed, but Wen Li was sure that it was jadeite.
Crystal clear and very beautiful!
If it were made into jewelry...she would definitely make a fortune!
Shen Yihe noticed her change and said, “Do you want it?”
Wen Li said smoothly: "Of course."
Jadeite!
This thing is valuable!
The money-making DNA in Wen Li's heart is ready to go. If he sells it to some rich females, he can make a fortune!
The stall owner also noticed the two of them and asked with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"
Wen Li asked curiously, "How do you challenge me?"
The stall owner pointed to a row of fruits on the table and said, "This is called Tiantian Fruit. As long as you can eat five, you can choose one of the rewards."
Sweet fruit?
Wen Li carefully looked at the ordinary fruits on the table. They were smooth and round, the size of a thumb, and a bright pink color. They looked delicious.
"Is it very sweet? Why is it called sweet fruit?" Wen Li asked.
If the fruit is sweet, can it still be called a challenge? The boss is simply doing charity.
The female who had just spoken to Wen Li took the initiative to explain: "Don't be fooled by the name of the fruit, it is actually very bitter. Most people can't last more than three."
“It turns out it’s bitter.”
Speaking of suffering, Wen Li subconsciously looked at Shen Yihe.
This guy is most afraid of suffering, and she is not much better.
It's probably impossible to expect to win these rewards. Wen Li doesn't believe that the boss is a philanthropist.
The two have not yet decided whether to participate, but some people are already eager to try.
"I'll do it!"
A male walked out of the crowd and shouted.
His beastly wife was following him with a smile on her face.
Seeing that there was a customer coming, the stall owner laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome. You can start now. But the break cannot exceed one minute, otherwise it will be considered a failure."
The male was full of confidence and patted his chest to guarantee: "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll get it."
The stall owner smiled and held out his hand: "The fee is three copper coins."
Even for the challenge, you still need to pay an entrance fee. Three copper coins are not cheap, but not expensive either.
For most orcs in the tribe, this is acceptable.
The male confidently handed over the three copper coins, and the stall owner's smile became even brighter after receiving them.
He pushed the plate of fruit toward the male, "Please."
The male simply grabbed the two fruits from the plate and threw them into his mouth, still feeling disdainful in his heart.
It’s just a fruit, how bitter can it be, haha.
His wife's eyes lit up at the sight of his heroic look.
Seeing how decisive he was, everyone around him couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
“Still fierce!”
"Swallowing two in one breath, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
"But he looks fine. Could it be that he has no sense of taste?"
The chatter of the people around him reached the male's ears, making him feel even more proud. "It's just a piece of fruit, what's the big deal..."
Before he could finish his words, his expression began to twist drastically.
The bitter taste of the fruit quickly spread in the mouth, accompanied by an indescribable strange taste.
The male's face was distorted, he wanted to pull out his tongue, and began to regret eating two in one breath.
The bitterness became stronger and stronger, and the male even held up his tongue, having no intention of eating the third one.
“3…2…1…Challenge failed!”
The stall owner looked at the still struggling male with a smile and continued to ask, "Do you want to continue the challenge?"
The male couldn't say a word and could only shake his head to express his refusal.
His wife was worried and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
The male pointed at his mouth with tears in his eyes.
Seeing him like this, those who had originally wanted to try immediately backed off.
...How miserable is this?
Wen Li was frightened just by looking at it, and wanted to leave by pulling Shen Yihe: "Let's go, don't look anymore."
"Don't you want a reward?" Shen Yihe said.
Wen Li shook her head, "I don't want it that much anymore."
"It's okay." Shen Yihe patted her soothingly, then said to the boss: "I want to challenge."
Wen Li: ???
The stall owner couldn't stop smiling when he saw that there was business again.
He stretched out his hand towards Shen Yihe, motioning him to give him money.
Shen Yihe took out the copper coin and handed it to the stall owner.
After the stall owner took it, he took out two more fruits and placed them on the plate.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Wen Li knew that it was useless to persuade him, so she just said, "Don't force yourself."
She was already very happy that Shen Yihe could do this for her, but whether it would succeed or not was another matter.
"I will get it." Shen Yihe said seriously.
He was still afraid of hardship, but when he saw Wen Li wanted this thing, he decided to fight for it.
Shen Yihe gritted his teeth and ate a fruit.
The taste of the sweet fruit is very strong and the texture is very strange. After biting it, a sticky liquid spreads in the mouth.
The bitterness becomes stronger and stronger.
Shen Yihe frowned tightly, and his handsome face looked extremely ferocious.
Wen Li advised: "Spit it out."
Shen Yihe gritted his teeth and swallowed it, then continued to eat the second, third... until the fifth.
Shen Yihe felt like he had been dead for a while.
The soul was floating in the sky, the mouth had lost its sense of taste and was numb, but the spirit still resisted the taste.
Bitterness is not the lethality of this fruit.
It's the mental resistance to it.
Most people couldn't hold on after eating the third one, but Shen Yihe managed to hold on with his willpower.
"Congratulations on the successful challenge!"
The stall owner looked at Shen Yihe with a hint of admiration.
I can really eat five...
When Wen Li was choosing the rewards, Shen Yihe felt that his soul had not returned yet.
It wasn't until Wen Li pulled him away from the stall that Shen Yihe finally came to his senses.
"Thank you," Wen Li said softly.
Shen Yihe shook his head.
Wen Li played with the jadeite raw stone in her hand, thinking about what to make it into, while passing the candied fruit to Shen Yihe's lips.
Shen Yihe opened his mouth and ate the candied fruit.
Even the sweet taste of candied fruit could not dispel the bitterness that lingered on the tip of the tongue.
Shen Yihe pretended to be calm, not wanting to make Wen Li worry.
Wen Li had noticed his occasional frown and directly pulled him to the witch doctor.
With the help of the witch doctor, the bitterness remaining on the tip of Shen Yihe's tongue was finally removed.
When the witch doctor learned that this was a challenge designed by a vendor for marketing purposes, he couldn't help but curse:
"That's just nonsense! Eating too much of this fruit will cause poisoning. It's too dangerous!"
When Wen Li heard this, her face changed, and she pulled Shen Yihe to feed him various medicines.
After making sure he was alright, Wen Li finally felt relieved: "Don't do this next time."
Realizing that he had made a mess of things, Shen Yihe was very depressed.
After spending a long time with the witch doctor, it was already evening.
The original date plan was less than halfway completed, but because it was too late, the two had to go home.
Sensing his depression, Wen Li comforted him, "It's okay, I had a lot of fun today."
Shen Yihe raised his eyes and looked at her: "Really?"
"Of course it's real. At least I got this." Wen Li showed Shen Yihe the fist-sized jadeite rough stone. "I like it very much."
Shen Yihe's depressed mood finally eased a little.
Wen Li gently hooked his finger and asked, "Will you come to my place tonight?"
Shen Yihe's pupils trembled, and after a while he said: "...Yes."
Wen Li smiled at him, and seeing Shen Yihe's face gradually approaching, she was stunned for a moment.
"What...what happened?" Wen Li stuttered rarely.
Shen Yihe looked at her, with a hint of uneasy feeling in his eyes. He moved his lips and whispered, "Can I...can I kiss you?"
"Of course."
