Chapter 19

Su Ce stepped out and saw a beautiful pair of twins playing under the tree. To be precise, one who looks bored while pulling grasses, and the other who’s timidly pulling his skirt behind.

Su Ce have met them twice. The first time was when his vision was still blurred. The second time, he was too hasty to see them well. Now he can see them properly, he can say they’re really cute.

Whether it’s the hair that looks very soft and shiny, the skin that is slightly wheat-ish but still delicate, or the body that seems to crumble at a touch. This rather delicate facial features all show the "preciousness" of these two little guys.

Su Ce felt as if he was seeing a child on the Earth.

Judging from the appearance of the twins, according to Su Ce’s common sense, they’re only about ten years old.

They are really small...

After seeing Su Ce, Ai Guo, the more lively one, showed a big smile first, “It’s brother Ah Ce! Hi! I’m Ai Guo! Do you still remember me?” This child has short hair and looks healthy.

The long haired one with small smile and red cheeks also said, “Brother Ah Ce, I... I’m Ai Mi.” This child, maybe he was deprived of nutrition during pregnancy. He looks thinner than his brother.

Su Ce nodded, “Hello.”

Glancing at the twins, they ran over with laughter, holding Su Ce’s hand from left to right, “Brother Ah Ce!”

Su Ce was involuntarily pulled by this two to sit under the tree, one on the left and the other on the right.

He was at a loss... These two, how to... Play?

Seeing Su Ce’s clothes, Ai Guo smiled shyly, “Isn’t Tan Tu very kind to brother Ah Ce? All clothes are made of red silk. He must have spent a lot of bones!”

Su Ce paused and looked at himself, “...Red silk?”

Ai Guo raised his head, held his chin in his hand, and said, “Brother Ah Ce doesn’t know yet? Red silkworm is a kind of worm that can spin silk, which is very difficult to raise. The eggs can only hatch in a warm caves, and because it’s not easy to lay eggs, they can only be preserved in the Patriarch’s place. Every female can receive them when she grows up, but only ten for the first time. If the number of eggs hatched is not more than five, it’s not allowed to continue.”

He said and looked at Ai Mi, who was holding his skirt with his hand. He helped his brother saying, “And... and there are spinning and weaving works, especially weaving...”

Seeing his brother was really shy, Ai Guo sighed and continued, “Because the silk are too thin, only the most careful female can weave, and it may not always succeed... In our tribe, the best craftsmanship is probably from La Ya.” He raises a finger and dangled, “La Ya’s stuffs are very expensive~~”

Su Ce touched the cloth with his hand. It really felt like silk. The Orcs—even the females—have much more strength than an ordinary man on Earth, so it was inevitable that they would get in the way of weaving...

After analyzing it habitually, Su Ce realized that there seemed to be other meanings in Ai Guo’s words.

Is this...good words for Tan Tu? Or a tease...

Either way, Su Ce is less likely to respond.

Ai Guo looked at him secretly. Su Ce has to bow his head to look at him. After a while, Ai Guo smiled, “Brother Ah Ce, you’re so shy. That’s not going to work.”

Su Ce was stunned, “Er...”

Ai Guo laughed with his arms around his head. He no longer ask.

But all this hasn’t been taken down. That guy Tan Tu is too useless...

Su Ce’s fingers crossed the bridge of his nose to hide his embarrassment.

“Ah Ce!” Just then, Tan Tu appeared with two wooden bowls.

When Su Ce saw this, he immediately stood up and walked over, “Tan Tu, is it ready?”

Tan Tu was surprised by Su Ce’s unflappability, but immediately replied, “Yes, it’s already cooked.” He gave way a little—the wooden bowl with the meat was too heavy for Su Ce so he led him back directly under the tree, “This is for them. Ah Ce’s will be cooked in a moment.”

Su Ce felt a bit flustered, but he calmed down at once. “...En,”

Tan Tu shoved the two wooden bowls into the twins’ hands respectively, “Here, yours. Ah Ce wants to keep you for dinner.” He sat down. Su Ce sat on the other side of him.

Ai Guo and Ai Mi held each other’s hands. Su Ce saw their relaxed movements and paused unconsciously.

Ai Guo laughed, “Then I’m welcome! Brother Ah Ce, thank you!” He completely ignored Tan Tu’s "say hello to me".

Ai Mi took a sip of the soup, “It’s...very delicious...”

“Tastes really good... Ah,” Ai Guo remembered, “Brother Ah Ce, is this made by Tan Tu?”

Tan Tu, “It wasn’t me. It was Ah Ce.”

“I know it. Such delicious meal can’t possibly made by Tan Tu!” Ai Guo smiled.

Ai Mi looked at the blue veins on Tan Tu, he carefully tugged his arrogant brother.

Ai Guo waved his hand, “I say, Tan Tu, this dumb guy, is really lucky to meet brother Ah Ce!“

The blue veins that’s about to burst out immediately soothed by such a sentence.

Tan Tu’s mood quickly improved, “I’m really lucky to meet Ah Ce.”

Ai Guo pouted, “You really dare admit it...” He said. He didn’t continue to pour cold water on Tan Tu.

Su Ce, who has been silent nearby, is actually a little hit. He’s in this place, he couldn’t even match the strength of a child..

When Su Ce looked up, she saw Ai Mi’s curious and worried eyes. He sighed in his heart and nodded to Ai Mi. Ai Mi in return blushed, smiling shyly.

He didn’t know how to get along with such creatures as children.

Ai Guo and Su Ce stumbled at a sound. Tan Tu suddenly remembered something. He left Ai Guo who was still eating meat and jumped straight into the kitchen.

Ai Guo was stunned, “What’s Tan Tu doing?”

Ai Mi replied softly, “It’s for brother Ah Ce to eat...”

Ai Guo patted his head, “Ah, right! Brother Ah Ce hasn’t eaten yet!” He ran to Su Ce with his bowl and passed a piece of meat between his chopsticks, “Brother Ah Ce, would you like to eat some of this first?”

Ai Mi also jogged over and took a piece to the other side of Su Ce’s mouth.

Regardless of the fact that he doesn’t want to use chopsticks used by others, he also can’t bite such a large piece of meat that wasn’t cooked soft enough.

The twins’ passion is sometimes unsettling.

Just when Su Ce didn’t know how to deal with the two, Tan Tu jumped out quickly with a wooden bowl in his hand. The difference is that the volume in this bowl is smaller than that of a circle, and it doesn’t seem to be just soup.

When Tan Tu came out, he saw the twins circling Su Ce left and right. He rushed over to squeeze them aside—very gently, of course.

After seeing Su Ce’s "saved" expression, he was immediately in a good mood.

Then he handed the wooden bowl that was too light to him and said with ingratiation, “Ah Ce, your meal is fine.“ Then he whispered, “I’ve ground it up. Don’t worry. Eat it with ease.”

This is Tan Tu’s care.

In a few days of getting along, even though Tan Tu has many places that make people laugh or cry, he seemed vaguely aware of Su Ce’s concerns.

Is this a beast’s intuition...

Today’s meat was ground into minced meat mixed with soup and there was already a spoon inside, which can be seen as new.

Su Ce was moved.

Everyone ate together. Apart from Tan Tu’s ugly eating, the remaining two females and one human were much more polite.

Ai Guo gave Tan Tu a disgusting look, then turned to see the man who was in sharp contrast with him, “Brother Ah Ce, you have a good eating posture.”

What a straightforward compliment. Su Ce paused, “...Thank you.”

Ai Guo smiled, “Brother Ah Ce is too serious.” Then turned around, “Ai Mi, right?”

Ai Mi nodded.

Su Ce, “...”

Ai Guo lovingly pulled Su Ce’s sleeve, “Brother Ah Ce, come and play with us after dinner?“

Su Ce stiffened, “...En."

Tan Tu commented beside him, “Hey, where are you taking Ah Ce?”

Ai Guo turned his back, “Female things. Dumb males mustn’t care!”

To be honest, Su Ce is still not used to being classified as "female". But forget it, he couldn’t get used to nor can he challenge the rules of this world.

So he asked, “......Where to?”

Ai Guo pointed his chin with his finger, “We will go wherever brother Ah Ce wants to go.” He looked sideways, “Right, Ai Mi?”

Ai Mi nodded again.

Su Ce pondered, “If you don’t mind, take me to the neighborhood,” Turning his head, he saw Tan Tu’s aggrieved eyes. He sighed secretly, “...and can Tan Tu come with us?”

Ai Guo shrugged, “Well, since brother Ah Ce said so...”

Ai Mi bowed his head, “Okay...”
