Chapter 23

A voice came from the inside. As soon as the door was opened, Tan Tu quickly rushed in with Su Ce in his arms. The other person immediately closed the door and said loudly, “Hurry up, put him on the bed!”

The room has a very peculiar smell. It seems a bit spicy but it smells good. It’s about the taste of herbs. Su Ce’s faint mind was forced by a smell, a new floating and cool feeling, as if to suddenly awaken him, his eyelids were no longer heavy.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Tan Tu’s joyful voice, “Ah Ce, Ah Ce, open your eyes quickly!”

Su Ce heard the scorching emotions contained in it. In such a call, he struggles to open his eyelids—

“Um...Tan...Tu.” He felt as if he opened his mouth and yelled, but the real voice that came out was like gnats, hardly audible.

But Tan Tu was very happy. Grabbing Su Ce’s hand, it was still so hot, but as soon as people were awake, there was at least no danger of life.

At this time, a person came over and lifted Su Ce’s clothes and took out the cool thing. Su Ce reluctantly looked sideways, it was a bulging skin-like thing, the opening appeared to be tightly packed with a plug, that’s supposed to be filled with water.

This was what Tan Tu brought to cool him...just like an ice pillow he used once he had a fever.

The man bowed his head and asked, “Su Ce, would you let Tan Tu stay?”

Because he’s not a partner yet, it counts as an issue

Before Su Ce could answer, Tan Tu already said, “Ah Ce, I still felt uneasy. Will you let me stay here with you?”

Seriously, at such time of weakness, Su Ce only trusts Tan Tu. He doesn’t know how witch doctors in this tribe treat diseases. When his consciousness was unclear, he could only let Tan Tu watched by. Therefore, he made an effort to nod his head, “Um...Tan Tu..stay...”

Tan Tu wiped his sweat happily. His hand grasped Su Ce’s—if he could not feel the change in Ah Ce’s body temperature, he would really go crazy.

Su Ce’s fingers moved to give him some comfort.

And the witch doctor, the female known as Ka Mai also began his work.

Su Ce felt his clothes stripped off, including his trousers. He was lying in a very smooth and cool place, not being covered with animal skin makes him feel a lot better while he was suffocated by heat.

Ka Mai’s pleasant voice with gentle spring breeze makes people immediately trust him. “Su Ce, right? I’m taking off your clothes to cool you down then I will apply herbs. Rest assured, I’ve tried all of them, only to accelerate the cooling effect. As for the rest, I’ll still have to keep looking before I decide. If you agree, nod.”

Su Ce could feel the seriousness of the witch doctor. With Tan Tu accompanying him, he chose to trust this person. He remembered he once heard the name in the Patriarch’s mouth, although it was accidentally caught by his human-ear while he was distracted, that time it seemed his eyes return to light. The potion that dripped into his eyes was by the witch doctor, Ka Mai.

At the very least, his vision is now clear.

Ka Mai movements were very sharp. Before long, a soft cloth was brought up. His head was dripped with some wet paste. He(KM) started from his shoulder blades and slowly wiped it down to his abdomen and thighs... Except for the particularly secret place being skipped, the whole body was slimy almost every time.

But Su Ce can also feel that it was much more comfortable in those slimy places than before.

Tan Tu pulled off his hand and coated it with herbs. Tan Tu put his lips on Su Ce’s forehead to feel the temperature there.

The touch between his eyebrows made Su Ce unable to ignore. The consciousness he had just regained suddenly became a little fuzzy... Tan Tu’s lips were not as hard as his own appearance, but...very soft.

Just like his personality.

Perhaps a sick person is weaker than usual. Su Ce felt at this moment that if Tan Tu is always around, he might want to live in this world more.

Tan Tu also said that it doesn’t matter even if he can’t have children...isn’t it?

As long as two people live together.

Su Ce sighed softly in his heart. Judging from Tan Tu’s frank performance after his illness today, he wouldn’t be happy if he could not be with him.

Su Ce himself felt that in this world, he might not be able to accept anyone, or any male, as a ‘female’.

It doesn’t matter him being Tan Tu’s female. People who really want to live together will not be hindered by a simple name.

After this illness is cured, he’ll invite Tan Tu to look for his Senior.

The Senior isn’t the same as himself. He is not alone. He still had a huge company to manage. In his own words, he has to resign directly to his Senior.

With this thought in mind, the temperature of his body gradually dropped. When looking at Tan Tu, Su Ce’s eyes brought some softness.

This person may be the one who will go for a lifetime in the future...

When he was still on Earth, Su Ce didn’t put marriage and children into his life goal because of his personality. He thought he would just live with those original books and work life, and of course he didn’t think his other half would be a man—or not at all.

However, if it’s Tan Tu, then maybe two people will live well...

Due to a series of physical problems, Su Ce didn’t have enough time to think carefully about the general lifestyle of females. But now he was thinking seriously while his body was still surrounded by drugs.

Farming... may be a little difficult for him, but he must do what every female does. Well, if he exercises more, it would be okay. Even if he can’t keep up with his strength, he can still find ways to sharpen farming equipments. Sericulture is probably the more difficult one, but it’ll be easier if you try again after practicing other threads. He used to think he would leave sooner or later that’s why he thought Tan Tu’s wooden house doesn’t need to be expanded, but now he decided to stay with Tan Tu, he should arrange the whole ‘home’ again.

Yes...their home.

He will try his best to blend into the world of Orcs. For now, life here is very simple and comfortable. Even if work is needed, every work can get its own reward.

He has seen a lot of Orcs, both females and males. Their personalities are also simple and straightforward. They don’t have all kinds of hypocritical entertainment and intrigue like on Earth or in the company. Here is very...peaceful, like a bottle of spring water from the mountains, natural and thorough.

He’ll live a happier life here, maybe.

Time passed quickly. Su Ce’s consciousness became more and more sober, which indicates that his body temperature was about to recover as usual. The herbs dried up on his skin into hard mud pieces that made him stiff.

The female witch doctor approached and put his hand on Su Ce’s forehead to test the temperature.

Su Ce had the chance to see him clearly.

This witch doctor...had white short hair that sticks obediently behind his ear. He always wears a gentle smile. His temperament is quite kind. Although his facial features are not particularly good, it makes people feel that he is beautiful.

This kind of beauty doesn’t come from the outside, but from the temperament and the heart.

“Ka...Mai-er,” Su Ce uttered.

Ka Mai smiled, “The effects of the herbs have already come out. Now you just need to wash them up with warm water.”

Su Ce supported himself and asked, “I...the cause...”

Ka Mai turned his head, “Are you asking why you are so hot?”

Su Ce nodded.

Ka Mai sighed, “I have checked you before, it’s just a simple fever, you don’t have any wounds bitten by poisonous insects or any other problems. However, I will still wait until you wash up and see it for you.”

Su Ce looked him in the eye, “Thank you...”

Ka Mai shook his head, “You’ve come to our tribe, you’re a family. Don’t be so polite.”

Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Su Ce slightly curved his mouth.

Whether it’s the twins, the Patriarch, Mo La whom he met recently, or Ka Mai, everyone is friendly.

And, of course, Tan Tu.

These people gave him the impression of no impurities, making him feel ‘even if life is a little convenient, it is also very good.”

It feels natural and comfortable.
