“I remember.” She paused slowly and said firmly, “But I have to bring Sang Ye back. You can punish me however you want after this. I’ll have no complaints.”

Disappointment filled Bai Di’s blue eyes.

He said nothing and silently turned to leave.

Lin Huanhuan called out to him twice, but there was no response.

She could only look away and continue to bandage Sang Ye’s wound.

Sang Ye noticed that her eyes had turned red and thought that she was sad about Bai Di’s departure. He said in a low voice, “I’m fine now. You can go back with him. Don’t worry about me.”

“It’s not your fault. I didn’t handle it well.” Lin Huanhuan sniffed and tried to squeeze out a smile. “Can you still walk?”

“I can.”

“That’s good.” She slowly held his arm. “Come back with me. I’ll take good care of you until your wound recovers. Take it as my compensation to you.”

Sang Ye’s voice was very low. “I don’t need your compensation…”

‘I only want you.’

However, he did not say the last sentence.

She was already so uncomfortable that she was about to cry. He could not make things difficult for her anymore.

Shuang Yun turned around and realized that Bai Di had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Huanhuan was helping Sang Ye over.

She said slowly, “I have to bring Sang Ye home to recuperate.”

Shuang Yun was very unhappy. “You promised not to bring him into our family.”

“But he’s injured and needs someone to take care of him.”

“I can get someone else to take care of him. It doesn’t have to be you.”

Huanhuan said word by word, “I owe him this. I have to pay him back personally. Otherwise, I’ll never be able to have peace of mind.”

Shuang Yun looked at her, then at Sang Ye. He wanted to refuse, but he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed his words. He just waved his hand in frustration. “Alright, alright. You’re pregnant now, so you have the biggest say in the family. I’ll listen to you!”

When Sang Ye heard the word ‘pregnant’, his expression immediately changed.

He subconsciously looked at her stomach.

Her flat stomach made it impossible to tell that she was pregnant.

Huanhuan noticed his gaze and took the initiative to explain, “I’m only half a month pregnant. My stomach isn’t obvious yet.”

Sang Ye felt indescribably disappointed.

Not only had the little female already mated with someone, but she was also pregnant.

It seemed that there was really no hope for him…

After returning home, Lin Huanhuan tidied up the guest room for Sang Ye to stay in.

Lin Huanhuan found some crispy fruits and crushed them in the mortar.

Shuang Yun looked around. “Where’s Bai Di? Why isn’t he back yet?”

Lin Huanhuan recalled Bai Di’s disappointed gaze and felt a little suffocated.

She pounded the medicine hard and said sullenly, “I don’t know. Maybe he went to work in the fields.”

Although Shuang Yun was carefree, he was actually prudent and careful.

Sensitive to her mood, he leaned over and hugged her from behind. “Did Bai Di bully you?”

“No.”

Shuang Yun took the stone mortar from her hand. “Alright, leave this chore to me. Go to the side and rest.”

Lin Huanhuan’s arms were indeed quite tired. She took the opportunity to loosen her arms and let him sit.

After he mashed all the fragrant and crispy fruits into paste, Lin Huanhuan put the paste into a bowl and applied it to Sang Ye’s wound.

As Lin Huanhuan applied medicine to Sang Ye, she asked, “Why did you fight with the beasts of the feather tribe?”

“Because I ate their hatchlings.”

Lin Huanhuan looked at him. “Why?”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Huanhuan said seriously, “I believe in you. Since you ate their hatchlings, there must be a reason. I want to know the cause of the incident.”

Sang Ye looked at her steadily. “You’re the first person who’s willing to believe me.”

If someone had been willing to believe him in the past, he wouldn’t have been forced to escape from the temple, wander around, and escape from pursuit.

He explained what had happened last night.

Knowing that Sang Ye had eaten the hatchlings to protect the vegetable field and fruit forest, Lin Huanhuan was both grateful and helpless.

“You just had to scare those hatchlings away. You didn’t have to eat them.”

Sang Ye said, “I happened to be a little hungry at that time, so I ate them for dinner.”

In order to guard the vegetable fields and fruit forests, he did not leave for a day and a night. He could not hunt, and when he was hungry, he could only eat a few leaves.

The hatchlings were just unlucky enough to bump into him when he was hungry.

Without thinking, he instinctively swallowed the hatchlings.

Lin Huanhuan sighed. “You ate their hatchlings. They definitely won’t let you off. This grudge has been sown.”

“I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. If the feather tribe wants revenge, they can come at me. It has nothing to do with you.”

Lin Huanhuan patted his arm and comforted him. “You can’t be blamed for this. If you hadn’t stepped forward to stop them, the vegetables and fruit trees in the fields would have been ruined by those hatchlings.”

Sang Ye had good intentions, but he was too ruthless.

This matter was not easy to resolve!

…

It was almost dark, but Bai Di was not back yet. Lin Huanhuan was a little worried about him and sent Shuang Yun outside to look for him.

Shuang Yun went down the mountain and found Bai Di beside the pond.

He was sitting on a rock by the pond, staring down at the principal ring on his ring finger.

Shuang Yun walked over and patted his shoulder. “The sun is setting. Aren’t you going home?”

Bai Di was silent.

Shuang Yun frowned and said unhappily, “That’s enough. If you continue to make a fuss, Huanhuan might really chase you out of the house.”

Bai Di gently turned the principal ring on his finger. “Huanhuan really seems to care about that snake beast.”

Speaking of this, Shuang Yun was even more unhappy. “I know. Even a blind person can tell that their relationship is not simple!”

“There’s only one Huanhuan. It’s already my limit to give you half of her. I can’t accept other beasts sharing her again.”

“Do you think I’m willing to give Huanhuan away?” Shuang Yun crossed his arms and sneered unhappily. “But can we make the decision? Even if we chase away a snake beast today, there might be an eagle beast, a lion beast, or a leopard beast tomorrow. Can we stop them all?”

Bai Di fell silent again.

Shuang Yun continued, “Huanhuan’s personality is too soft. Whoever treats her kindly, she can’t help but want to treat them kindly too. Wasn’t this how you and I were attracted to her back then? Unless you can change her personality, it’s impossible for you to stop other male beasts from appearing around her.”

Bai Di laughed at himself. “It’s not easy to change someone!”

“I don’t want Huanhuan to change. I like her soft appearance. She’s so cute! If we let her become as selfish as other females, she won’t be the Huanhuan we first liked.”
