Chapter 102 (END): THE END \nChapter 102 Extra ā Wufanās story\n
As soon as Wu Fan went out of the house, he saw a lot of fruit baskets in front of the door. In addition to that, there are also many strange little trinkets. But he is not surprised since this has occurred for quite some time already. After all, in his family, there are 5 unpartnered females including him. Itās natural that they became the target of many beastmanās pursuits.
His brothers and dad havenāt woken up yet. As for father, he must have gone hunting a long time ago. Wu Fan is sure that these gifts must have been placed after the beastmen are sure that his father has gone out. Otherwise, if seen by father(P), he would have picked up all these and thrown them into an unknown corner. Then his father will chase after the beastman who gifted the goods and give them a hard lesson. In Patrikās opinion, the beastman who covets his little darlings is his enemy.
Wu Fan looked around but didnāt see anyone around. Then, he looked at the blocked gate. Thereās no choice, he had to move all the gifts to the yard first. Comparing to his siblings, Wu Fanās character is still relatively mild. If other siblings were in his shoes like his 1st, 2nd, and 5th younger brothers, they would simply throw the gifts away. Looking at so many baskets, Wu Fan sometimes found it funny. Seriously, the beastmen didnāt leave a name when they gave the gift, so how would they know who gave it? But in this way, Wu Fan and his siblings can eat the fruits with peace of mind1.
Seeing a purple basket, Wu Fan knew that the basket is given to him by that silly person. It must also be filled with fruits and vegetables that he likes to eat. Sometimes, there will be a wood carving in it. Wu Fan picked up the basket and head back to the house, ignoring the rest of the gifts.
Wu Fan, who is 17 years old, looked very beautiful. He was quite naughty when he was a child, but his temper became softer as he grew up. Wu Fan might have a tail which is something extra in comparison with other females, he still has many suitors after him. There is something about Wu Fan that the beastmen couldnāt explain, which caused them to be deeply attracted to Wu Fan. According to Lin Mu, that thing is called temperament. For beastmen, they donāt know what is temperament. What they know is they wanted Wu Fan as their partner.
Wu Fan took out the vegetables and fruits in the basket and washed them. He placed the fruits in the living room, before starting to make breakfast. Wu Fanās cooking skills are completely inherited from Lin Mu. For some foods, he even cooked it better than Lin Mu. So ever since Wu Fan learned to cook, Lin Mu rarely cooks. But because the children liked the taste of fatherly love in Lin Muās cooking, they still crave for Lin Muās cooking. Of course, Patrik also likes Lin Muās cooking, so Lin Mu sometimes cooks at everyoneās request. And every time it happened, everyone will polish every single drop of the dishes, no leftovers. Of course, it is not just to please their dad, but the most important thing is that they really like the food their dad cooks.
When Patrik came back, he saw smokes coming from the kitchen and knew that his eldest son must have started cooking. Their family loves this son very much. Although Wu Fan is not his biological son, he is Patrik and Lin Muās first son after all so they loved him to bits. His younger sons also like to stick to their big brother. Their family lives in harmony every day and Patrik is satisfied with their current life. Patrik went into the kitchen and put down the prey, āWu Fan, I caught your Gulu beast2Ā today. You can cook it later and eat it.ā
Wu Fan smiled and said, āThank you, father.ā
Patrik rubbed his sonās hair, āItās fine as long as you like it. Iāll go and see if your dad has woken up.ā
Wu Fan smiled and nodded, as he watched his father leaving the kitchen. He is living his current life happily. Although Wu Fan knew that his father and dad are not his biological parents, they are the closest people in his heart, and Wu Fan could tell that they loved him. With a contented smile, he continued to cook for his family. Wu Fan likes to cook very much. He cooks for his family and would be delighted by just watching them eat the food he cooks.
At the dining table, Lin Muās family doesnāt have the rule of not talking during a meal. Everyone chatted as they eat, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Patrik and Lin Muās intimacy is still the same as before, always surrounded in sweet pink bubbles. The children have long been used to their parentsā lovey-doveyness. As time passed, the small ones aimed to search for a beastman partner who loves and tolerates them like how their father did to their dad. Of course, itās a simple requirement if they simply wanted someone who loves and pampers them. But to search for a partner that is like their father3⦠En, is not easy. No doubt, the children didnāt plan to compare any beastman to their father, who always had an emotionless paralyzed face.
After the family finished their meal, the ones who didnāt cook will take turns to clean the dishes, while Wu Fan went out with his back basket.
Not far from the door, he ran into Rick who is waiting for him on the road.
Seeing Wu Fan coming, Rick immediately smiled silly-ly and went over to take Wu Fanās back basket.
There isnāt any expression on Wu Fanās face as he took out the contents in his back basket, āSilly bear, this is for you.ā
Rick happily took the meat patty from Wu Fan and said, āThe food Fan Fan made is the best.ā
Wu Fan didnāt want to comment anything about the nickname Fan Fan.
Rick held the food in one hand, and Wu Fanās hand in the other. Wu Fan knew that he couldnāt break away, so he let him hold it.
Wu Fan and Rick grew up together and Rickās attitude is very clear. He pursues Wu Fan and devotes himself to making Wu Fan his partner. Wu Fan held a special spot for Rick. Although Wu Fan didnāt show a nice expression to Rick, it seems that he is alright with holding hands or something similar. Plus, Rick can eat the food Wu Fan cooked. Thinking about other people who wanted to pursue Wu Fan, Rick feels that his hopes are higher than theirs.
To be honest, Wu Fan also knows that this silly bear who has been with him since childhood has a special place in his heart. As for whether he wanted him to be his partner, Wu Fan feels that he shouldnāt say it out. When the time comes, everyone will know.
The two went to the mountains to pick some ingredients, whether it is medicinal plants or food. Females nowadays like to go out for a stroll, itās better than being bored at home.
ā¦
The annual exchange day.
Ever since the drifter beastman tribe is accepted by other tribes, Lin Mu and the others began to devote themselves to do item exchange between the various tribes. After all, the things they can harvest/get in their new place4Ā are still limited. Each tribe has its own special things, and it is a good practice for everyone to take out what they have to exchange for what they need. Most beastman are winged beasts, so it is quite convenient for them to go to certain tribes to exchange things. Even for the wingless beastman, their speed will not be bad. Even so, it canāt beat the exchange dayās popularity. Every time it is held, it is like a big festival for everyone.
The exchange day this year is held in the drifter beastman tribe.\n
Wu Fan and his siblings went out early and brought their own things, preparing to exchange for items they wanted. Although their tribe usually has a bazaar to exchange things, it canāt compare to the current scale. Wu Fan said to his younger brothers, āDad likes seafood. Letās exchange some seafood first. I will make it for him at noon. He will definitely be very happy.ā
Several children who love their dad very much nodded happily in agreement.
When they came to the sea tribe peopleās stall, they began to look carefully. The children knew that Lin Mu likes crabs and shrimps, and of course, other kinds of seafood also like to eat. After all, the sea is still some distance away from here. Even if the seafood is alive the first few days of travel, but after so many days later, they would definitely be almost dead. The children exchanged some live crabs and shrimps with the cloth they brought. They also exchanged a lot of dried seafood such as scallops. What makes them even happier is that they also saw many familiar people.
āUncle Lisa, Uncle York, is Yin Yao coming?ā
[Banana ā In case you guys have forgotten about the sea tribe peopleās name. Please see below]
[Yitzās family]Father ā YitzDad ā Li WenSon ā Butz
[Yorkās family]Father ā YorkDad ā LisaSon (female) ā Yin Yao
Lisa is also very happy to see Wu Fan. āAiya, itās little Wu Fan. Yin Yao wanted to come, but he is about to give birth so Rissel5Ā didnāt agree to let him come.ā
āOh, Yin Yao is going to have a baby? This is really a great thing. Could you please tell him that I will visit him when I have time?ā
When Wu Fan left, he is given a lot of sea cucumbers, dried fish, and other food that Lisa enthusiastically insisted on. While walking on the street, he will look at his naughty brothers from time to time. On the other hand, Wu Fan is wondering why didnāt he run into that silly bear today? Didnāt that guy say that he wanted to exchange his honey at the market? Because Wu Fan was so deep in his thoughts, he accidentally bumped into someone.
āIām sorry.ā Wu Fan quickly apologized, knowing that itās his fault that they collided.
āItās okay.ā The voice of the person sounded somewhat suppressed.
Wu Fan looked up and saw that the other party is obviously a couple, and the female looked at him(WF) with strange eyes. Wu Fan is a little puzzled, but then he heard his younger brother calling him.
āBrother, letās go home, those crabs are going to die.ā
Thinking of cooking food for his dad, Wu Fan nodded to the couple and left quickly.
What Wu Fan didnāt know is the female stared at his retreating back with sad eyes. But then, even if he knew about that, he wouldnāt care. The couple is just strangers after all.
Though Wu Fan didnāt see it, Rick who rushed over to see him saw it clearly. Rick didnāt know what was going on, but he felt that it is definitely not a good thing in his heart. Hence, he didnāt say anything but decided to tell Patrik about it. Although Rick looked silly, he is not stupid. He knew how important it is to please Wu Fanās father.
Lin Mu had a delicious seafood meal at noon so he is in a very good mood. Naturally, Patrik will be in a good mood too. Hence towards Rick, who is bumping a meal at his home, Patrik decided to use only 50% of usual his strength (in beating Rick).
And Rick, who was paying attention to Wu Fan, felt a bit of chill running down his back. He turned to look at Patrik and knew what is going on. After all, he always got beaten every time he came over. Rick still knew his fate (of being beaten), he just hoped that his opponent would be more merciful this time.\nAfter dinner, Rick took a chance to tell Patrik what he saw in the morning. Then, upon seeing Patrik frowning and going to his bedroom, Rick immediately took the opportunity to run away. Of course, he also abducted Wu Fan out of the house by the way.
Wu Fan, who planned to take a nap after lunch is quite unhappy to be dragged out. So, his expression would not look good to Rick. But Rick has been with Wu Fan for a long time and he knows how to cheer him up. So he said to Wu Fan, āI saw a very interesting thing at the market today. We have to exchange it before anyone else or we will never see something like this again.ā
āWhat kind of interesting thing?ā Wu Fan is a little interested in what Rick said.
āLetās go and see, youāll know soon.ā As Rick said that, he pulled Wu Fan with him.
The two left happily, but at Patrikās side, he couldnāt help frowning.
Patrik is afraid that Lin Mu couldnāt fall asleep if he told him the news earlier. So, he waited until Lin Mu woke up from his afternoon nap before telling him about what Rick told him.
Lin Mu frowned after listening, āIt seems that that couple may be Wu Fanās parents.ā
āEn.ā Patrik knew how Lin Mu cared about Wu Fan.
Lin Mu snorted, āSo what if they are Wu Fanās parents? Wu Fan is my son now. Since they have abandoned him, they shouldnāt even dream of getting him back. Even if it is not intentional, I will not give up on Wu Fan, he is our family!ā
āEn, Wu Fan is one of our family. We wonāt give him to anyone. Donāt worry.ā Patrik saw that Lin Mu is getting angry so immediately pulled him into his arms to comfort him.
āPatrik, donāt let anyone take Wu Fan away.ā
āAbsolutely,ā Patrik assured Lin Mu.
Lin Mu felt relieved after hearing that because Patrik never breaks his promise. Then he sighed comfortably in Patrikās arms. Although their children have grown up quite a lot, Lin Mu doesnāt look like an uncle at all. His appearance is still very young, just that his face looked much more mature than before. And so, Patrik couldnāt keep his hands to himself.
On the other side, Wu Fan and Rick went to see that āinterestingā item. Rick pulled Wu Fan to a stall. The owner of that stall is an incredibly very tall beastman.
Rick: āTake out that thing and let us have a look.ā
The beastman was going to take a nap at noon, but Wu Fan and Rick happened to be here, just as he finished closing the stall. The stall owner had seen Rick in the morning, and naturally knew what he was talking about, so he took out a pair of emerald green rings.
āThis is⦠ring?ā Wu Fan knew about the thing called ring. His dad told him that back at his old home, people will wear rings when they got married.
Hearing that someone knew what the item is, the beastman happily said, āThese two rings are formed naturally, and not carved out. I found them by accident. I donāt know what they can be used for, but they are indeed called rings⦠It seems to be emerald rings.ā
Wu Fan knew the meaning of the rings, but he didnāt know if Rick knew it as well. His face felt a little hot when he thought of Rick pulling him over to see the ring. But seeing this personās silly smile, Wu Fan thinks itās impossible for Rick to know the meaning of this ring. However, Wu Fan really likes these 2 emerald rings very much. He picked up the smaller ring and put it on his finger, it fits snugly on him.
Seeing that Wu Fan really liked it, Rick asked the stall owner how to exchange the goods. The stall owner stated his request, and they managed to do the exchange with some cloth and honey. The two of them took the rings and left.
Rick took Wu Fan to his own house. He is an adult now, so he moved out of his fatherās house and built his own house. His father Tru has a partner too.
If it is the usual time, Wu Fan wonāt go to Rickās house, but he is happy today so he didnāt refuse.
Rickās house is pretty well built. Of course, he built it while imagining itās his and Wu Fanās future home. Rick pulled Wu Fan into the inner room, and then took out the rings.
āFan Fan, this is for you.ā
Wu Fan liked the ring at first sight so he accepted it, but Rickās next words shocked him.
āWu Fan, Uncle Lin Mu said that if you accept the other partyās ring, it means you accepted their proposal. Fan Fan, I like you. Please be my partner.ā
This is the first time I wrote a novel, so there must be many shortcomings. When I first started to write the novel, I actually just wanted to feel the feeling of seeing my novel appearing in a search result. To be honest, that feeling is really good, haha~
