C27 - Treating Injuries

Logically speaking, it was still very tiring to carry a thick tree back home even if Xiong Ye had turned into his animal form. However, probably because he was filled with joy, he actually didn’t feel tired at all.

It was Zhou Ji who suggested that they take a break after walking for a while.

Xiong Ye put the tree down, turned back into human form, and immediately asked, “Zhou Ji, you mustn’t travel so far in the future when you come out by yourself. It’s very dangerous outside!”

This was something he had abruptly thought of as he was walking with the tree. He had been in animal form at the time and couldn’t speak, so he could only hold it in and stew over it during the entire walk.

Although there weren’t any large carnivorous dinosaurs near their tribe, Zhou Ji was someone who didn’t even have an animal form. It was really too dangerous for him to go out alone!

Previously, Xiong Ye hadn’t been worried because he had always thought that Zhou Ji was just out harvesting plants from the area where the gathering team went. However, that didn’t seem to have been the case at all.

To his surprise, Zhou Ji had actually come to such a faraway place!

Zhou Ji was stunned–Xiong Ye had caught him off guard with his sudden transformation into human form. He wasn’t even wearing his animal hide skirt!

Xiong Ye saw that Zhou Ji wasn’t speaking and was worried that Zhou Ji was unhappy about him managing his affairs, so he added, “If you want to go to places further away in the future, I’ll take you on days when there isn’t any collective hunting.”

Zhou Ji recovered and shifted his gaze away as he laughed slightly, “Good.”

His future mate was so obedient! Xiong Ye gazed at Zhou Ji happily–Even though they had hiked around in the forest for such a long time, Zhou Ji was still so clean. He was so attractive!

Xiong Ye found another topic to talk about with his future mate. “Zhou Ji, you aren’t stupid at all. Why didn’t you leave the cave before?” Before Zhou Ji’s mother died, he had hardly ever seen Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji had already thought of a good explanation for himself, so he had a reply ready after he heard Xiong Ye’s words, “I was really stupid before. I didn’t think about anything or do anything every single day and only knew how to just lie there… Later, after my mother died, I was left alone in the cave and almost starved to death, and finally came to my senses all of a sudden.”

“So it was like that.” Xiong Ye had suddenly seen the light.

“The first person I saw when I woke up was you, so to me, you are different from the others.” Zhou Ji smiled as he spoke. Back then, he had his abilities on hand but no seeds, and had dragged his nearly starved body out of the cave to find food. In the end, he hadn’t managed to find anything yet when Xiong Ye, who had gone to find Shi Li, noticed him and stuffed him with a chunk of dinosaur meat.

It had really tasted terrible.

Zhou Ji kept his eyes on Xiong Ye while he was talking, and Xiong Ye felt his heart speed up under his gaze.

Zhou Ji had felt that he was very special when he saw him for the first time? Had Zhou Ji started liking him a long time ago?

Xiong Ye’s mood flew even higher.

Zhou Ji saw that Xiong Ye was acting so excited and added, “Later, you let me live in your cave, and I was really happy.” The collective living cave… was fundamentally unsuitable for humans to live in!

Xiong Ye’s heart beat even faster, “Zhou Ji… Um… I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you liked me at that time…” Zhou Ji must’ve been happy about living in his cave because he liked him.
