The two walked to the riverbank. Huang Yu was in charge of washing the first time, and You Ran was in charge of washing the second time. They finished washing quickly.
When they returned to the cave, Wen'e was already coaxing the little ones to wash up and go to sleep early.
Leisurely lay between Huang Yu and Wen E, guarding the cave entrance, while the little cubs slept inside.
In the stillness of the night, the pale moonlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the cave entrance, while the chirping of insects filled the air, making the loneliness all the more palpable.
At this moment, You Ran couldn't help but recall what had happened during the day.
She didn't understand why Ying Yao would fall for another female. Was it because they had been apart for too long?
From the time the incident occurred to the termination of the partnership, it took less than a day. Wasn't she too impulsive?
Should we wait for Yingyao?
But I clearly gave him a chance to explain, so why won't he?
Or perhaps he didn't want to explain, or maybe there was simply nothing to explain.
So why did he kneel down at the end?
She couldn't understand it. At that moment, she felt as if her heart had been ripped out, and the pain was indescribable.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the pillow; she dared not make a sound.
I was afraid the little brats would hear me.
A faint salty smell filled the air. Huang Yu turned slightly to face her, and in the darkness, she could see her exceptionally clearly.
You Ran's eyes showed no sign of sleepiness, but were filled with tears.
Gently approach her, reach out and embrace her tightly.
Wen'e also noticed You Ran's unusual behavior. He knew that You Ran was hiding it very well in front of the child.
Not wanting to disturb the babies, he hugged her slightly trembling waist from behind.
The three of them remained silent all night, not because they didn't want to, but because it was inconvenient with Zai Zai around.
The next morning, as soon as You Ran woke up from her bed, she saw a little tiger with a fluffy head stomping around on her blanket.
"Mom, why are your eyes swollen?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Youran quickly reached out and rubbed Zi Ye, then pulled him into the quilt and stroked his soft fur.
"Maybe he slept in too much."
Seeing Ziye enter her mother's bed, Qinghe and Ping'an immediately followed suit.
In a few moments, they were playfully fighting. You Ran saw Wu You standing there alone, looking embarrassed, and felt a pang of heartache.
She grabbed his arm, pulled him into her arms, and started tickling his armpits.
Hahahaha~
The other little ones followed suit, all running over to tickle him, making Wuyou laugh until tears streamed down his face.
Huang Yu brought back some water and saw You Ran playing with the babies, a happy smile on her face.
"Get up and wash up, we'll be home soon."
Mu Youran looked outside the cave and saw that the sun was indeed out.
She gently nudged them, saying, "Go wash up quickly, your mother needs to change her clothes."
The little ones obediently ran out and went to wash up.
You Ran changed into a clean and neat yellow silk dress, put all her hair back on the back of her head in front of the basin, and put on the coral hairpin that Wen E had given her. She looked very energetic.
The closer they got to the Sunset Tribe, the better their mood became.
At this moment, Luo Bai was in a very bad mood.
Last night, Yingyao rushed over, his face full of worry, and wouldn't say a word when asked.
He would run away at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Luo Bai, when You Ran comes back later, you have to put in a good word for me."
Luo Bai had heard this all night; his ears were practically calloused.
"Then tell me exactly what happened."
Yingyao didn't know how to start the conversation, after reflecting on it all night.
He finally realized that this whole thing was his fault; he hadn't handled things properly, which led to today's mistake.
Just then, Eagle Dragon, who was on patrol, immediately reported: "Chieftain, the High Priest and the Chieftain's wife have returned."
Xiao Mei, who happened to be passing by carrying a pottery piece, heard this and excitedly threw the pottery to Ying Long, then turned around and went to find Cai Xia.
"Caixia, Youran is back!"
Caixia, who was kneading mud, suddenly heard the news and immediately sat up from her stool, almost knocking the mud brick in her hands to the ground.
He quickly ran to the water tank next to him, filled a basin with water, and washed the mud off his hands.
"Let's go, let's go find her right away!"
They were so excited; they hadn't seen You Ran in so long.
When the two of them ran to the tribe, other orcs had already surrounded them.
Everyone was very happy: "You Ran, Huang Yu, it's been so long since you've come back."
"Yes, they probably won't leave again this time," Ma Xiong said excitedly.
Although she didn't grow up in this tribe, it was the first tribe to accept her.
At that moment, she felt the warmth of her hometown.
He smiled and said, "I won't be leaving anytime soon."
As she spoke, she pulled over the little ones beside her: "These are our little ones, Wuyou Ping'an, Ziye, and Qinghe."
The little ones all politely called him "uncle".
Luo Bai quickly went over, picked up Zi Ye, and couldn't help but kiss her. He hadn't seen Zi Ye in a long time.
"We're holding a banquet tonight to welcome You Ran and Huang Yu back safely!"
At this moment, Xiaomei and Caixia squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Youran, and shouted excitedly.
"You Ran, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"
