Su Ce woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tan Tu’s closed one. The man held the back of his hand, the temperature of his(SC) palm was extremely hot.

Stiff outline, rough features, handsome appearance... All this time, Su Ce found that he hadn’t carefully looked at Tan Tu

Very handsome...

On Earth, should it be called a "model"? It should be popular among girls. As a man himself, Su Ce felt he shouldn’t be having good feelings for him—based on every man’s self-esteem. But he felt warm.

He didn’t know how long he stayed here. Su Ce was still resting on Tan Tu’s thigh. He moved carefully but still awakened the male Orc.

Tan Tu looked at Su Ce and asked worriedly, “Ah Ce, you... Is there anything uncomfortable?”

Su Ce shook his head, “I’m okay.” He propped up his arm and sat beside him(TT). He found that it was different from the stabbing pain before he fainted. Now he had no discomfort at all.

Tan Tu frowned. “I asked Ka Mai to check you. He said it was fine, but I still don’t feel at ease.”

Su Ce tried to move his fingers. Well, it’s still flexible

“Ka Mai?”

Tan Tu replied, “Ka Mai is a witch doctor. He said it was okay. It’s usually okay...”

Su Ce nodded. “Then don’t worry about me. I’m fine now.”

Tan Tu scratched his head. He couldn’t think of anything else, so he said, “In the future, if Ah Ce has any discomfort, please tell me immediately.” With that, he carefully leaned over to hug Su Ce’s shoulder and whispered, “Ah Ce scared me today...”

Su Ce looked and patted him on the back, “...I’m sorry, I will...I will tell you.”

Tan Tu nodded happily. “That’s good!”

Perhaps the atmosphere was too warm and too soft to care, Su Ce and Tan Tu kept such a half embracing state and didn’t avoid. Tan Tu also didn’t notice this at all. He just held with excitement and didn’t react until the atmosphere became quiet. He saw his sweetheart leaning on him obediently. Even if he was a little silly in pursuing his partner at times, he knew this was a rare opportunity. He can’t let it go.

After a while, Su Ce pushed Tan Tu away. He lowered his head, his ears a little red.

Tan Tu looked at his hands and felt a bit lost, but immediately remembered another thing, “Ah Ce, are you hungry? The food has been cooked. I’ll bring it to you now.”

Before Su Ce could reply, he immediately jumped out of the window and came back quickly. He had a large bowl of meat and soup with a spoon in his hand.

Su Ce took it naturally. He took a few mouthfuls then drank some soup and waited until the cramp in his stomach eased before he asked, “Tan Tu, how long have I slept?”

Tan Tu thought, “More than one day."

No wonder he’s so hungry...

Su Ce looked at his arm and thought of the tingling feeling before, a little puzzled. It’s undoubtedly always been fine. The sun isn’t too hot... Is shouldn’t be heatstroke ah... Is it because he’s too tired the other day? Or is it an acclimatization? Either way, there should be no pain in his whole body.

After thinking for a while, he couldn’t think of results. At this time, Tan Tu spoke again, “Ah Ce don’t be dazed. Eat your meal first.”

He was already fed up watching Ah Ce in a coma and him(TT) being at a loss. If it weren’t for Ka Mai being the best witch doctor, he would have gone mad if he(KM) hadn’t said that Ah Ce really was fine!

Su Ce knew how bad it was for the Orc that he had been fainted for a day, he nodded obediently and ate slowly.

Strange to say, he didn’t know if Tan Tu took more effort to grind the meat. At this time, it’s a lot easier to chew...

It’s nearly evening outside. Su Ce slept for so long that he didn’t yet feel sleepy now. Tan Tu thought of this and asked, “Ah Ce, what do you want to do now?”

Su Ce looked at him, “...Let’s go down and wash the dishes.”

Although the ladder had been set up, Tan Tu still decided to carry Su Ce down—because he(TT) said he must still be weak. Su Ce couldn’t refuse so he relied on him.

In the end, Tan Tu wouldn’t really let Su Ce do the dishes. Instead he moved a newly-made wooden chair and placed it in the middle of the small courtyard and said, “Ah Ce, just sit here and watch me do the dishes... If there’s something that hasn’t been washed, you can just tell me here.”

In fact, Su Ce feels very energetic now... but Tan Tu’s caring eyes always revealed like "you are absolutely trying to be brave", so he won’t argue with him about this.

Speaking of, watching Tan Tu doing things here feels like "home". It’s cool...

Tan Tu’s learning ability is outstanding. He did not do well before, but after Su Ce’s instruction once, he can already perfectly clean the bowls. And his actions will not exceed Su Ce’s rudeness tolerance... Occasionally, when he turned around, he would look at Su Ce and grin sillily, it made Su Ce more at ease...

It was getting dark. When night fell, the two moons appeared at the same time, emitting dim light.

Su Ce began to think that, maybe as Tan Tu said, he thought he was fine but he was still weak... He felt a little sleepy

The evening wind gently passed on him, Su Ce felt a subtle warm all over his body...some small heat flows up and down, not domineering but very comfortable

Slowly, his whole body warmed up, as if sitting by a campfire...

Unconsciously, his consciousness blurred again until a voice woke him anxiously.

“Ah Ce! Ah Ce, you’re so hot!”

“Ah Ce, wake up!”

“Ah Ce, don’t sleep!”

“Ah Ce! Ah Ce—”

Su Ce reluctantly opened his eyes, an anxious figure in front of him...Tan Tu.

“I...didn’t...” His mouth moved, the last word stuck in his throat, and was defeated again by drowsiness.

The situation didn’t last long. Soon, a cold object touched his face, making him wake up and opened his eyes.

Tan Tu said quickly, “Ah Ce, I’ll put this on your clothes. Please don’t sleep. I must send you to Ka Mai as soon as possible!"

Su Ce nodded absently, holding a cool thing in his hands, but he didn’t have enough strength, the thing fell

Afterwards, he seemed to hear Tan Tu say "I’m sorry". The heavy thing was stuffed into his clothes by a pair of rough and cold hands. But this didn’t exert any strength on his own, because the next moment his feet suspended midair

He was being held in his arms by Tan Tu in a position he absolutely disliked, then moved forward at a speed so fast but enjoyable

He didn’t know how long, maybe just a short while, they stopped in one place

Su Ce also knew he was not quite right now and Tan Tu was getting impatient... He put his hand in his bosom, gently touched the cold thing, and struggling with drowsiness.

Can’t...fall asleep...

Tan Tu’s mood is indeed very anxious.

Just yesterday, Ah Ce suddenly fainted after leaving the tent without any warning. He simply slept. However, when he wrapped him up, he looked a little uncomfortable. Of course, he immediately went to Ka Mai, the best witch doctor in the tribe. Ka Mai gave a detailed examination and said there was no problem, but he was still very worried that he stayed the whole time. Until this afternoon, Ah Ce finally woke up and let him relax.

But...but why did he only washed the dishes, something went wrong again?

Su Ce thought it was too boring, he fell asleep.

Tan Tu was about to call him, when he found that Ah Ce was burning all over his body... This is really unusual!

In the past, there were some cubs that had fever all over their bodies, but the result were often death—because they never wake up in their sleep!

It’s just...Ah Ce absolutely can’t!

Ah Ce, don’t sleep...

Tan Tu hugged Su Ce and pressed hard.

Ah Ce is as weak as a cub... No, he’s more weak. Even if he’s(TT) strong enough, he shouldn’t neglect his constitution.

It’s all his fault.

What if Ah Ce...

For the first time in his life, he felt like the six gods had no master*.

TN*can also be called six vital organs fail. human heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder are dominated by gods called the Six Gods. (idiom) - panic;no idea what to do

He stood in front of a tall wooden house and slammed the door hard.

“Ka Mai! Ka Mai! Quickly, open the door!”
