Chapter 14

Su Ce and Tan Tu silently stared at each other. Tan Tu looked at his sweetheart’s face and was very satisfied, while Su Ce didn’t know what to say.

“Ah,” Tan Tu suddenly remembered, “Ah Ce, you should sleep for a while.”

After that, he rolled the hide on the ground, folded it into a small bed then carefully pushed Su Ce down the hide.

Su Ce didn’t think after lying down like this, he really felt tired, “Then you...”

Tan Tu smiled brightly. “I’ll get you something to eat!” Then he jumped out of the window.

The hide underneath was a bit hard. Although the epidermis had been washed, it still stung. Su Ce glanced at the back of Tan Tu’s departure and changed into the ‘best fabric’ of the tribe. It felt silky and was comfortable to wear.

Because the food and intensive here are very hard, Su Ce thought he would not be used to it. But from the softness of the clothes perspective, at least there is no need to worry.

After thinking, Su Ce stood up and looked down the window. The big guy below was running around and moving everything to the open space outside. He even set up a bracket and tied it with ropes.

It’s because of the sake of busyness... he’ll just watched it quietly for a while, Su Ce thought.

Then he turned around, laid a bath towel over the hide, lay down and closed his eyes.

He needs to take this time to sort out his thoughts.

Su Ce was awakened by the smell of broth. It’s wonderful to have a clear vision after you open your eyes. But not used to it, Su Ce reached out and touched it, but it was empty.

Now he’s in another world...

Because it’s not an open-air accommodation, it almost gave him the illusion of returning home, but it’s not.

Holding up one arm, Su Ce sat up. Judging by the light outside, it was already about afternoon, perhaps close to evening.

......What about Tan Tu?

With a sigh of relief, Su Ce walked to the window—not much a window, it’s actually similar to a balcony but no extension. The model is similar to a Fench window but about half a person higher.

The smell of meat came from below. On the stand where Tan Tu was before, there’s a pot with a diameter of one meter. Inside was rolling green and white. Tan Tu stood beside the pot, holding a wooden spoon to stir inside.

Su Ce stepped down the stairs.... Although it was the ‘stairs’, there’s actually no stairs.

Tan Tu is a bachelor. Females who aren’t partners doesn’t go to a male’s house, so his house doesn’t need stairs at all—powerful males can jump up and down at a distance of several meters.

But Su Ce couldn’t.

After a moment of silence, Su Ce came to the window and sat there watching Tan Tu busy and looking at the other things he was moving out.

In addition to the big pot, some fresh bones piled on the other side are freshly peeled and not yet cleaned.

The open space in front was originally a vacant lot of YiMaPingChuan*, but suddenly there was a fence over two meters high. It was also newly made and tightly tied with ropes, looking very solid.

*YīMǎPíngChuān— flat land one could gallop straight across (idiom); wide expanse of flat country.

Tan Tu was fearing of being unsafe... Su Ce’s gaze returned to the big Orc.

In his own world, he was not a likable person. Apart from his Senior, he hasn’t made any friends at all over the years. The adoptive parents who have given the family affection left him too early. He hasn’t felt such warmth for many years... It seems that if he only shows a little "need"—or simply think it’s possible for the other person to "need" at all, that person will immediately do it delightedly.

Maybe he was too focused. Tan Tu raised his head suddenly after stirring twice. Seeing that Su Ce was looking at him, he immediately grinned at him sillily.

Su Ce bent the corners of his mouth, then found Tan Tu in a daze. The wooden spoon fell into the pot and the hot soup splashed hitting his arm, causing him to jump up.

Too careless... Su Ce couldn’t help holding the window edge and frowned. He saw Tan Tu grabbed his head and smirked, “Ah Ce, are you hungry?”

Su Ce looked at him, “...you don’t have to worry.”

Tan Tu’s smile seemed even more silly to Su Ce, “Then, Ah Ce, wait a minute, I’ll pick you up later.”

After that, Tan Tu obviously moves faster but seemed to have straightened up a bit?

Su Ce sat there feeling calm watching Tan Tu busy.

Honestly, this kind of life is good.

After more than ten minutes, Tan Tu picked up the spoon and put it into the cauldron’s handle. Then went up to the second floor and jumped directly to Su Ce’s side.

Su Ce reached for his hair that’s been plucked by the wind, stood up and walked to the stairs.

Tan Tu smiled, reached out and picked him up steadily. Su Ce grabs his arm and lets him jump off with himself—although the gesture was a bit embarrassing, it was not strong enough and there’s also nothing he could do.

When they came downstairs, Su Ce patted Tan Tu’s hands. Tan Tu put him down somewhat reluctantly.

Su Ce coughed softly and said, “Do you have a ladder here?”

Tan Tu first wanted to shake his head but immediately nodded, “Yes.” He would make one out.

Su Ce said, “...Can you take it out? It’s inconvenient to go up and down like this.” After seeing Tan Tu nodded, he turned around and walked to the side of the pot and picked up the wooden spoon—a little heavy but within the tolerance— and looked back, “Where’s the bowl? Let me serve the soup.”

Tan Tu looked at Su Ce in a daze, again.

Red silk is the most rare material for weaving clothes in the tribe. Few females have this skill to weave, the finished product needs many precious bones to be exchanged. When such clothes are worn on the body, it hardly feel its weight. It’s also the softest fabric that can be found in Kanda continent—which Su Ce feels able to adapt.

Su Ce changed into this dress. It was white and snowy. The sleeves and trousers were only half cut, just wrapped around the elbows and knees. A little loose but it didn’t collapse because of the small neckline. He seems thinner wearing this.

On Earth, Su Ce’s figure is definitely within the standard range of normal men. He’s in a healthy, slender and slightly lean state. However, in Tan Tu’s eyes, who is more than two meters tall and burly, he’s very slim... most females in the tribe are stronger than him except the cubs.

Su Ce, who has been a manager for a long time has a decent aura especially when he’s serious and has a temperament.

Tan Tu had never seen such a female, perhaps he was touched by something in Su Ce and fell in love at first sight.

Of course, he have always been in love after seeing each other several times.

A soft and fair female, as if every inch of smell was attracting him.

Tan Tu held his breath and looked at Su Ce’s face, unable to return. Later, he was suddenly awakened by Su Ce’s calling, but his eyes turned on the skin of the arm that was exposed a little because of his movements. There were red marks. On closer inspection, there were leg bends.

Tan Tu ignored everything else and hurriedly asked, “Ah Ce, are you injured?” He ran over immediately. He grabbed the arm and wanted to touch but was afraid to hurt him.

Su Ce didn’t really feel anything, but when he looked down, he found that there were indeed pieces of red marks. He thought, this should be when sleeping by the hide. Although the bath towel has been laid first, sleeping for a long time will get a little bit under the effect of gravity. But it’s not a serious situation.

However, Tan Tu seems to be in a state of great danger.

“I’m sorry...Ah Ce.” Tan Tu’s head fell down again in a distressed tone, “I didn’t take good care of you.”

Su Ce didn’t know what to say. He really felt that this wasn’t Tan Tu’s problem. He hesitated for a moment and patted his arm, “...It’s not your fault.”

......Ah Ce is really gentle. Tan Tu thinks he likes Su Ce even more.

Su Ce added, “Well, I’m a little hungry. Do you have any chopsticks here? I’ll get it.”

Tan Tu knew Su Ce was comforting him this way so he wouldn’t be so depressed. He didn’t blame him at all. He was always so clumsy, he always fails to please those he pursues. But Ah Ce was still willing to live with him.

What should he do if he likes Ah Ce more and more... If he can’t be with Ah Ce in the end, he will be very, very sad.

So sad that he’ll just prefer to die.
