Thereâs a human size bump on the wide bed, under a huge animal skin, and the twist and turn of the figure show that the person is awake. Wriggling like a caterpillar under the sheets for a while, this person seemed to be savoring his beauty sleep and refused to get up⌠After a while, a slender, pale arm stretched out from under the animal skin, and then a fluffy head was exposed. Rubbing his eyes, he yawned to show he is finally sober, and his eyes are as bright as before.
Lin Mu looked at the empty space beside him. Just as usual, Patrik had already gone out busying around when he(LM) woke up. When he sat up, the pendant he was wearing on his neck was exposed, and Lin Mu held up the swaying animal teeth. This was given to him by Patrik when he proposed to him yesterday. Although the teeth of the beast are a little yellow, Lin Mu likes it very much. Thinking of yesterday, Lin Mu smiled and put the animal tooth necklace back under his clothes. Such a meaningful item should be carried with him all the time.
After they returned to their room yesterday, they didnât do any passionate exercise. They just lie on the bed and chat about the day they first met and their future life. Both of them have the same hopeful vision for the future, and they also believe that they will make the tribeâs tomorrow more beautiful. No longer have to worry about food and accommodation; they even have their own tribe now!
It was Patrikâs wish to build his own tribe, but he didnât expect it to be realized so early. Moreover, their tribe is better than other tribes. No other tribe lives in a house like them, and they donât have delicious food like theirs. Patrik is very satisfied with his current life; it felt like a dream which he couldnât even dream of. Of course, this would be more complete if he can hold the ceremony with Lin Mu. Patrik really wants to marry Lin Mu as soon as possible, because then Lin Mu would truly belong to him forever. Of course, this will not happen immediately. According to Lin Mu, they can only proceed with the ceremony after their own house is built. Although living together with everyone is very lively, it is really inconvenient in other aspects.
In Lin Muâs opinion, he and Patrik had done everything that partners can do together, so the marriage ceremony was just a ceremony. He is very willing to hold the ceremony with Patrik,but he is not in a hurry.
Patrik is in a hurry to marry, but Lin Mu is not so he can only wait. What to do otherwise? As a beastman, he would obey his femaleâs wishes 10,000%. Itâs not like he can force it, he still wants the ceremony alright?! And so, every beastman is a wife(?)1Â slave!
After getting dressed and ready to go out to wash, Phil suddenly pulled Lin Mu over, saying, âI have something to tell you.â Phil spoke quietly and then pulled Lin Mu into his room.
Being dragged into the room, Lin Mu was quite puzzled and curious about Philâs behavior. He sat on the edge of the bed with Phil and motioned to him to speak with his eyes.
Phil saw that Lin Mu is very interested in what he wanted to say. He organized his thoughts and said solemnly, âItâs about Lais.â
Seeing Phil opened his eyes widely and acting serious, Lin Mu thought Phil is adorable, but when he heard him say it was about Lais, Lin Mu couldnât help but frown.
âYesterday I saw Lais alone in the woods, looking very sad. I asked him whatâs wrong, but he didnât say anything. I thought he missed his family because he would be sad whenever he missed his family. That was usually when he felt wronged. Then I thought about when I was with Lloyd. Since we got together, I havenât thought of my father and dad2Â for a long time, and even if I think about them now, I wonât be sad. Thatâs why I think if Lais has been wronged?â
When Lin Mu heard Philâs words, he recalled a detail that he had overlooked. That day when they discussed the ceremony, Phil and Sasha were happily talking about holding it together, but Lais did not say that he and Jason were going to do it. Now that he thought of it, Lais accidentally revealed a lost expression at that time. Though he saw it, he didnât give it another thought because he was focused on the ceremony at that time.
âCould it be because of Jason?â\nâAlthough Jason is very cold, he treats Lais very well, we can all tell. Besides, Lais is a good female, how could Jason make Lais sad?â In Philâs opinion, although Jason looked cold all day and cannot be compared with Lloyd, he can tell that Jason cares about Lais.
âBut, Lais didnât talk about holding the ceremony together.â Lin Mu said, âIs there something wrong with them? Or Lais doesnât want to be partners with Jason? But that doesnât seem to be the case, Lais like Jason a lot, right?â
âCould it be Jason doesnât like Lais?â Phil was surprised by his own thought. âLais is so good, why wouldnât Jason like him?!â
Seeing Phil looked incredulous, Lin Mu said, âJason doesnât like Lais? Probably not, after all, donât they live together now? There must be something we donât know.â He nodded to affirm his own guess.
Phil was a little worried and said, âThen what will happen to them? Lin Mu, we must help Lais and Jason.â
âThat is for sure, but first, we must figure out why Lais is sad. After all, we are only throwing guesses now.â
âThen how do we know? Just ask Lais?â
Lin Mu shook his head, âWe should attack the subject by the side, and then see Laisâs reaction to judge whether we are right or not. Then only we take measures.â
Phil: âI will follow your instructions.â
Lin Mu: âRemember to cooperate with me well.â
After Lin Mu discussed with Phil, both of them went out.
âI havenât wash yet!â
Lin Mu went out to help with cooking and suddenly realized that he hadnât washed his face and brush his teeth, so he ran to the stream. While he is running, it comes to him that going to the stream every day to wash is really troublesome! Hence, he decided to prepare a bucket of water tonight for tomorrow morning.\nDuring breakfast
Lin Mu placed a piece of meat into Patrikâs bowl and watched as he ate it with a smile (Although the angle of the mouth is really low, Lin Mu can see that he is delighted). Inadvertently, he saw that Lais and Jason didnât seem to interact much with each other, and thought to himself, âSo this is how you two usually interact.â
Then, he saw Phil sneaking glances at Lais while eating, and couldnât help palming his forehead. Phil, canât you see Lloyd looking at you suspiciously? Although Lais didnât give much response, you canât be so obvious. After that, Lin Mu glanced at Lais lowered his head to eat his breakfast, and muttered, âThe problem is obvious.â
âWhat?â Though Lin Mu said to himself in a low voice, but Patrik heard it.
Lin Mu smiled at him, âItâs nothing.â Then he transferred the meat in his bowl to Patrik. Itâs still uncomfortable to eat so much meat for breakfast.
Patrik didnât object to Lin Muâs actions, but added more meat on Lin Muâs bowl in response and said, âEat more meat, you are too thin.â
Though speechless by the meat that was returned back to him, Lin Mu could only compromise upon seeing the caring in Patrikâs eyes.
After the meal, Lin Mu gave Phil a look and nodded, and then walked up to Lais while Sasha gave both a suspicious glance. Lin Mu said, âLais, today we shall rest since we have been busy for the past few days.â
Lais was about to carry the basket on his back when he heard that. He looked at Lin Mu suspiciously, âDidnât we say yesterday that we will continue to collect food separately today?â
âThatâŚâ Lin Mu chuckled, âI just think that we are quite tired these days. Although work is important, maintaining a balance is also very important.â Seeing Laisâs puzzled gaze, Lin Muâs eyes became even more sincere. He looked at Lais and said, âReally.â
âAlright.â Lais put down the basket in his hand, âThen how are we going to spend the time today?â
âThatâs easy.â Lin Mu turned back, âPhil.â
Phil walked over immediately, âWe can eat snacks and chat.â
Lin Mu thought of the board he made before, handmade by Patrik of course, and added, âWe can also play games.â
\nIn the next game, Lin Mu had to put full concentration when playing with Lais, and in the end, it was just a barely win. Wiping his forehead from nonexistent sweat, Lin Mu announced, âAfter this, Sasha will play with Phil.â
Lin Mu stretched his arms comfortably against the stack of animal skins and saw Lais lying down beside him and handing him the fruit in his hand. He took the fruit, but they didnât start eating it. They were watching the two other people playing chess, when Lin Mu suddenly asked, âWhat happened to you with Jason?â
Still playing chess, Phil heard Lin Muâs question and turned his head to give him a puzzled look, as if saying âDidnât you want to attack the subject by the side? Why are you being so direct now?â
Lin Mu raised an eyebrow at him to express his answer âwe donât have to do that anymore as it must be related to Jason for sure.â
Lais didnât notice the eyebrows communication between Lin Mu and Phil. When Lin Mu asked that question, Lais bit the fruit and replied after a pause, âItâs nothing.â
Lin Mu didnât look at him and added, âI donât think itâs nothing.â He turned to look at Lais, âWe can see that you are unhappy. Of course, it is the maleâs fault if the female is unhappy, so it is definitely Jasonâs fault. (This is what every male thinks)â
ââŚâ
Lais didnât know what was going on between him and Jason. He could feel that Jason cared about him, but why didnât he propose to him like Patrik did to Lin Mu? This sometimes caused Lais to think, does Jason dislike him?
Seeing Lais hesitating, Lin Mu coaxed, âTell me, the more we know, the better we can help you to figure out a solution, right?â
Sasha and Phil couldnât play chess with peace of mind with the two talking, so they sat together, âYeah, yeah. Tell us about it, we can help you think of ideas.â
Lais hesitated to express his thoughts.
Sasha: âLais, donât worry. Youâre a very good person, Jason definitely likes you.â
Phil also nodded, âWe can all tell that Jason likes you. Lais, donât worry. Maybe Jason will propose to you soon.â Phil quickly helped to comfort Lais.
Lin Mu raised his chin in a moment of thought. He also wondered why Jason didnât propose to Lais. Jason doesnât like Lais? Lin Mu wonât believe that. Didnât Jason give Lais flowers not long ago? Although the flower is a sunflower. Could it be that Jason is shy? Lin Mu got scared by his own thoughts. But he wonât rule out the possibility that Jason is âmensaoâ (éˇéŞ), someone who is outwardly cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside. Maybe he can ask Patrik to help find out what Jason is thinking.
