She just said that to stimulate Luo Chen to stand up bravely...
How could she bear to separate her son now that he had found a young female to keep him company?
"Okay..." Ning Lan wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Yingying, please bear with it for now. When I get back, I'll arrange for someone to build a house for you. Once the house is finished, you won't have to live in this tree anymore."
"...Thank you. I'll trouble you then." Bai Yingying did not refuse.
She did need a house, but she had nothing to trade. Since the other party was Brother Yu's mother, she shamelessly accepted it.
It's like I owe you a favor, I'll find a chance to repay it later.
Ning Lan said no more with tears in her eyes. She nodded at her and quickly pulled Luo Dahua away.
The two were left speechless.
Luo Chen stood there awkwardly, looking up at Bai Yingying quickly from time to time, like a child who had done something wrong.
[Will the little female blame me? ]
[She'll definitely blame me. She's always wanted to go to the tribe, but I didn't let her go...]
[It’s over, it’s over. Will she never talk to me again? ]
[If it really doesn't work out, I'll just leave the island with her...]
"I...."
"Why didn't you say anything before?"
The two of them broke the silence almost at the same time.
Bai Yingying chuckled, "Brother Yu, you speak first."
"I...said...no...it's not...good..." Luo Chen's face turned red. After trying hard to answer Bai Yingying's question, he began to breathe heavily.
Bai Yingying's eyes were filled with encouragement: "It's okay. If you can't speak well, just take your time. I will listen to you until you finish. As you speak more, you will naturally become fluent."
Luo Chen paused, then slowly raised his head and stared at Bai Yingying face to face for the first time. The face that he had been watching day and night appeared enlarged in front of him.
The little female's face had grown some flesh compared to more than a month ago, and the biggest change was in her eyes.
The originally sunken eye sockets have returned to their natural state.
At first, those eyes were filled with fatigue, indifference and vigilance.
Now....
Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with encouragement and concern. His face, which had originally been a little gloomy due to his thinness, seemed much softer under such eyes.
Seeing that he was looking at her, Bai Yingying gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Come on, Brother Yu, I believe you can do it!"
[The little female didn't mind my stuttering at all, nor did she blame me for not letting her go.]
[I must not let her down! I must learn to speak well!]
"....Okay!" Luo Chen said firmly.
