Chapter 13

Tan Tu felt his heart broken.

As expected, the things he did before made Su Ce hate him... He’s inexperience in pursuing females, and because he’s stupid and doesn’t understand amorous feelings. As the females he pursuits said before, he always makes people with him feel bored.

Tan Tu was depressed now. He originally thought Ah Ce was willing to come back with him, at least it was a bit of affection for him, but now it seems that he may be apathetic.

Ah Ce probably chose this because he knew him better...

Ah Ce may not have any hint given at all...

Ah Ce may have had a sweetheart long ago—is it after he’s long journey that he fell in love with the male he met at first sight? !! This is not impossible... or does Ah Ce actually like the Patriarch? Oh no! The Patriarch already has a partner!

After thinking a lot of chaos. Tan Tu was still unwilling. He squeezed his fists then gently held Su Ce’s arm to let him sit down firmly, while he was kneeling in front of him. With his voice slowed, he asked, “Ah Ce, am I doing it wrong?” With a little sigh, “Really... can’t you consider me, Ah Ce? I really like you.”

What he thought of before was instantly thrown out of his mind in a gradual and flattering manner. Tan Tu reached out and waved away all thoughts. He just wanted to ask more clearly and let himself have more opportunities.

But, it was only once and he already got rejected... He secretly fisted in his heart. In the past, there were males who had been rejected by a female for more than a dozen times. Didn’t they finally form a family with the females as they wished? This is only one time!

Su Ce saw Tan Tu’s depressed look— almost as soon as his voice fell, the big guy’s head dropped down as if he hadn’t just said a word but severely chopped by a thunder.

Thinking of the care and enthusiasm he had never encountered these days... Su Ce really has no way to such a passionate person. He’s really soft-hearted, but his principle doesn’t allow him to deceive people who treat him sincerely. So... even if he felt sad, it’s only an instantaneous thing. If this lasts longer, it’ll make him more sad.

However, Su Ce still couldn’t bear to see the energetic Tan Tu slumped so he added, “I can’t have children.”

“...Ah?” Tan Tu was stunned.

Su Ce stretched out his hand to his nose bridge—a habitual move, then put down his hand, “If the male and female in your tribe are to form a family and you want to breed offspring... I can’t.”

Tan Tu blinked, “All females can have children.”

...I’m not female.

But this can’t be said casually until Su Ce has not fully understood this world. “There may be exceptions. Even if there weren’t before, there are now.”

Tan Tu stared blankly at Su Ce’s face. He clearly felt his seriousness... He immediately turned his head, “Even If Ah Ce can’t have children, I want to be with Ah Ce. At worst, later, if anyone who has a baby, let’s adopt and raised one.”

Su Ce became silent.

“...raise one?”

“Yes.” Tan Tu scratched his hair, his attention was diverted, “Ah Ce, haven’t anyone told you about this?” It’s common sense that everyone in the tribe knows, Ah Ce seems to know nothing...

Su Ce paused then shooked his head, “No.”

Tan Tu thought about it and sat down, “Then let me tell you slowly.” He thought Ah Ce’s parents were really incompetent, but when he recalled that his parents also left themselves casually, he felt nothing.

“Because there are few females, not all males can find their favorite females. It’s too lonely to live alone all one’s life so there are also males who lived together. At this time, they can adopt other’s cubs...“

On Kanda continent, because the number of Orc males and Orc females differs greatly, almost half of the males are unable to form a family with females. Of course there are also females that they want to snatched from others. Fighting males and etc. may be possible. In a family consisting of both males, no cubs could be born.

In contrast, in a female and male family, if the female’s body is strong enough, many cubs are born in hundreds of years. In order to give them good care, the tribe is allowed to acquiesced by default... Only in this way can cubs survive and the tribe grow stronger.

Anyway, they are all in the same tribe, everyone is close to each other, and only the partner is the one to spend a lifetime together and needs careful choice. As long as the relationship between the cubs and their biological parents are not bad.

Roughly said all this, Tan Tu once again looked at Su Ce with earnest eyes and said, “Ah Ce, I don’t know why you said you can’t have children but, I really haven’t seen a female who can’t have children before.”

...In fact, the topic just couldn’t be ‘having children’.

Su Ce originally thought that this would dispel the other party’s thoughts, but now he suddenly found that he seemed to underestimate the level of civilization in this tribe.

They have established a set of rules. Even if the proportion of males and females was uneven, there are ways to allow the tribe to develop healthily and benignly. And it is said that this world has been developed for many thousand of years... Perhaps, much longer than the history of human development on Earth. Also, since this race hasn’t been naturally erased or even become the main civilization in the world in such a long time, then they probably have a lifestyle suitable for them.

The Orcs.

Su Ce frowned. He didn’t know what other ways he could reject the bright-eyed Orc and say that he only liked women? Not to mention that he had never liked anyone of any gender in these years, this guy simply can’t understand the term ‘woman’ alone.

Otherwise...could he say he will leave one day?

But to be honest, Su Ce likes this world full of natural atmosphere more than the Earth. There is no disgusting smoke and dust, the sky wasn’t grayed out by the exhaust gas... Here is the culture he wanted to study—he is already interested.

Moreover, the feeling of this big guy by his side wasn’t bad at all.

On Earth, beside himself, only the Senior could make him a little concerned, but he has no idea how he came to this world nor how long he could stay...and the Senior, if he also came into this world, if he didn’t have the luck to meet a ‘Tan Tu’, how dangerous he should be!

But he could only do nothing.

Su Ce was so confused. Even if he could never go back, what is his position in this world?

Ordinary females—people with exactly the same characteristics as himself. Even if they are relatively males, they are stronger than himself and can have children... No man on Earth can have children!

What he learned—apart from language—has nothing to use here. He couldn’t allow himself to become a freeloader.

Ah Ce is in a daze again...

Without the blinding of his glasses, Tan Tu could easily see Su Ce’s wandering focal length. He knew what the other party was thinking abstractedly, he carefully moved closer and closer.

Then quietly took Su Ce’s hand.

So smooth...

Tan Tu wanted to lift it up and rub it on his face, but dared not.

Ah Ce hasn’t changed into his new clothes yet. Is it cold?

Tan Tu’s eyes slipped on his sweetheart’s bare thigh then to the white chest. Afraid of being caught peeking, his eyes turned to one side... but back to glance again. The hand his holding...it’s really soft...

When Su Ce recovered, he found his hand had fallen. Tan Tu was holding his hand as if...he had been in a daze for a long time.

He sighed and looked at the sky outside randomly, but when he turned back, he meet Tan Tu’s sad eyes...... Sad?

Su Ce stood there stunned.

Tan Tu grasped Su Ce’s hand tightly and lowered his head, “Ah Ce, do you like Ah’Er Sen...”

......What Ah’Er Sen?

Su Ce thought for a moment before recalling that it was Tan Tu’s neighbor.

But he couldn’t understand and said, “I like Ah’Er Sen?”

Tan Tu misheard the tone and thought he admitted it. His face suddenly collapsed, “Actually, there’s nothing good on Ah’Er Sen.” He raised his head, “Can’t Ah Ce like me?”

Su Ce felt he probably couldn’t keep up with this guy’s thinking. “I haven’t seen Ah’Er Sen.” So it’s impossible to like him.

Tan Tu apparently didn’t understand, “I can’t match anyone who Ah Ce hasn’t seen...” The momentum was even more frustrating.

Su Ce rubbed his eyebrows, “Tan Tu, why do you think I like him?”

Tan Tu said sadly, “Don’t you always look there...”

Su Ce looked out again to find out that it was the place that the ‘Ah’Er Sen’ house could be paid for.

But he was just looking at the sky......

Su Ce didn’t like seeing Tan Tu like this. After thinking about it he said, “I don’t like Ah’Er Sen.”

Tan Tu’s eyes immediately lit up.

......But I didn’t say I like you either.

In Tan Tu’s mind, the other males in this tribe aren’t his rivals except for fighting with Ah’Er Sen.

If Ah Ce is going to be snatched by others, he’ll just going grab it back. He thought so, this is a lifelong companion and he must not let it go to others.
