When Lin Mu got up that morning, Patrik told him that it is snowing again. Lin Mu didnât expect that it hadnât cleared a few days before it started to snow again. Due to the cold weather, Lin Mu hasnât gone out much. The last time was the previous sunny day, so he played a lot with Huang Yuan and the others in the yard that day.
Also because it was sunny that day, Patrik took the opportunity to shovel out the snow that has accumulated in the yard, and on the roof. Before the yard even has the opportunity to dry, snow started falling again.
âPatrik, your efforts are wasted. Itâs snowing again.â There was a little tone of gloating in Lin Muâs words. Humph, serve you right for not letting me play in the snow.
What happened that sunny day was, Lin Mu and the other females clamored to play in the snow, build snowmen, and snowball fights, but the beastmen was afraid that their female would get frostbite, so they disagreed. Although Patrik didnât say anything to oppose Lin Mu, he showed it with his actions. His method was straightforward; he gets rid of the snow. The females were not allowed to play outside the yard, and there was no snow in the yard. Hence, the snowball fight and building snowmen cannot be done.
Patrik only laughed when Lin Mu said this. He knew that Lin Mu is complaining about that day he didnât let him play in the snow, but he didnât regret doing that. Females are terribly weak. Not only they would suffer the consequences, the beastman would feel more distressed if their partner is suffering. Thatâs why he has to consider for Lin Muâs sake all the time. As far as Lin Muâs physique is, Patrik feels that he is more relieved if Lin Mu stays in a warm bed all winter.
Lin Mu sat in the living room watching the snow after eating lunch. Of course, this view was only through a gap. They donât have doors fitted to the doorframe so they used large pieces of animal skins as door curtains in winter. The skins are thick and heavy, which can block the cold air from coming in and is better than wooden doors. But the only disadvantage is that itâs inconvenient to look outside. He canât pull up the curtain just to see the scenery outside, right? Wonât the cold wind all blow into the house? Hence, to satisfy Lin Muâs urge to peek outside and enjoy the scenery, Patrik opened a small hole in the middle and right side of the door curtain. The hole is only the size of Lin Muâs forehead. Whenever Lin Mu wants to see outside, he can remove the animal skin covering the small hole.
Lin Mu shifted and sat on the stool next to the curtain, watching the snow scene from the small hole. It was unfortunate but he canât tolerate the cold at all.
Patrik gave Lin Mu a bamboo tube filled with hot water for Lin Mu to warm his hands. The chair made for Lin Mu is a recliner, but it has also been deliberately made large so that two people can lie on it together. Patrik lay down next to Lin Mu after cleaning up their lunch, then enveloped him in his arms. After that, he covered both of them with an animal skin blanket, which was considered warm. Lin Mu was completely nestled in Patrikâs arms. Covered with a thick animal skin quilt, and only exposing a pair of eyes were exposed, one can feel how warm and nice it is from looking at Lin Mu.
When the two thought they will be quietly watching the snow falling to pass this day, the door/curtain of their house was pushed open, and then they saw Locke coming in with the tightly wrapped Sasha.
âBoss, you are at home, right? So Iâm coming in?â
Lin Mu couldnât help but roll his eyes when he heard what Locke said. Normally, people will knock on the door outside the courtyard to ask if they could come in. But this man is better, he simply barges in first before asking if he could come in.
Seeing that someone has arrived to bother their time, Patrik can only feel helpless in his heart. He had no choice but to take Lin Mu to the back room and put him on the kang bed. Because they kept the fire under the kang bed burning, the room and the bed are warm.\n
After cleaning up, Patrik said, âCome in.â
In fact, Locke was waiting anxiously. Although it was only a little bit of time and he is not afraid of the cold, he is afraid of freezing the person in his arms. However, thinking of his bossâ face that could freeze anyone, Locke doesnât dare to go further into the house. Moreover, itâs winter time where ambiguous things could happen anytime. If he rashly went in and saw something he shouldnât, it would be terrible. Locke is afraid that his boss would eliminate him on the spot. He wouldnât mind dying but who will take care of his family Sasha? So he must not offend his boss!
Locke slowly placed the completely wrapped up Sasha down when he entered the living room, but the person in his arms canât wait to be uncovered.
âLocke, you can chat with tribe leader here, Iâll talk to Lin Mu,â Sasha said that and swiftly ran into the back room.
Beastman canât enter the back room of other peopleâs house. Moreover, if all females are gathered together, even their beastman canât enter. Anyone dare to go, they can wait to get beaten up by other beastmen. As for why, the reason is simple. These females will be chatting, laughing, playing together, and all of them will be on the kang bed. Such a beautiful side of their partners, the beastmen will feel uncomfortable to let other beastman see it.
As if everyone set the appointment to get together, the females came to Lin Muâs house one after another. Unexpectedly, Ria also came today, and he was carried over by Damon. It was unfortunate that Lin Mu didnât get to see this scene. Otherwise, he will definitely brainstorm whether there is a taste of âaffairâ in this action. But itâs a pity that Lin Mu didnât know anything about it, and Ria was the last one to arrive. After Damon carefully put Ria down, Ria blushed and ran into the back room.
The other beastman naturally wouldnât say anything except to make fun of Damon. They wonât gossip about it unless of course, their partner took the initiative to ask.
The females were laughing and chatting when Ria suddenly ran in while blushing. They all cast their eyes on him, causing Ria to walk in the same hands and feet instantly.
Lais hurriedly supported Ria and scolded, âWhy are you running in such a hurry? You are pregnant, this is not good.â
At the moment, Ria also realized that it is not good for him to run. But he was too shy just now and forgot about it. Knowing that Lais is caring for him, Ria nodded and said, âI wonât do that anymore.â
Receiving an âIâm wrongâ look from Ria, Lais smiled and said, âYou are a witch doctor and should understand this better than me. Just remember next time.â
Lin Mu quickly invited Ria to come up to the kang. He put a bolster pillow at the wall, and let Ria sit next to him. Ria can rest against the wall when he is tired, and with the pillow as a barrier, the cold from the wall wonât affect him.
Ria walked carefully to Lin Mu and sat down. Lin Mu covered him with a quilt, and then looked at his stomach curiously. Because everyone is wearing thicker in winter, he couldnât see the shape of Riaâs stomach. âRia, when will the baby born?â\nSpeaking of the child in his belly, Ria gave a motherly smile, âThere are still more than 6 months left.â
âThat means after the 4 months of winter. The baby will be born in spring? The weather at that time wonât be too hot or cold, just nice.â
Ria smiled and nodded.
When it comes to babies, the females have endless topics, such as what the childâs name should be. What? You havenât think about it? Then start thinking. Another example of their topic is whether the baby will be a little female or a little male? They even thought about the babyâs future. For example, if the baby is a female, what kind of beastman should be his partner. If the baby is a male, how should the beastman find his dear female partner, etc⌠The females chatted happily, thinking that there will be more children in the tribe in the future, they became happier.
âRia, you must be careful in your daily activities. Donât do anything if you can not do anything. Let Damon do the tiring and heavy work. Donât be polite to him and just tell him what you want.â By now, Lin Mu learned one thing very well: beastman should help females.
Ria listened to Lin Muâs words and whispered, âThatâs not very good? After all, I am living in his house and bother him a lot.â
âWhat bother? Beastman should help you.â Sasha said.
Lais: âYes, the most important thing is you are pregnant now. It is nothing to ask him to do something, right? Plus, the other party looked quite willing to do it?â
âEn, En, Damon is a good person. I can see that he takes good care of you. Donât feel awkward. The most important thing for you now is to maintain your health.â
Lin Mu smiled and said, âThey are right. You really donât have to be polite with Damon. If you are polite with him, he will feel uncomfortable instead. You should learn from Huang Yuan. Canât you see him casually instructs Ryan to do this and that? And Ryan cheerfully did everything.â
âHey hey, arenât we talking about Ria? How did it get shifted to me? But Lin Mu is right. You donât have to be polite with the beastman.â
Ria nodded but didnât agree or disagree.
After a while, the females changed the subject.

After putting on the gloves and hat, Lin Mu hides his ears in the hat and looked at himself. He is just missing a scarf and the whole winter look is completed. Lin Mu decided to make a scarf with the kind of mosquito net cloth made by Patrik at night. That fabric is soft and stylish, so itâs quite nice to be made into a scarf.
Ever since the gloves and hats were made, boots, cotton shoes, and slippers were born. Of course, the process took everyone about 6 or 7 days.
The weather was fine on this day. Lin Mu brought his rabbit leather hat and gloves, animal leather cotton boots, and came to the door with a scarf. Finally, Lin Mu can come out of the house and walk around. At this moment, he saw Huang Yuan walking towards his home, so he waved to him, âAh Yuan.â
âHey.â Huang Yuan greeted Lin Mu and speed up his pace. He too finally could go out on his own.
