Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Huanhuan struggled to get off the ground. She wanted to say a few words to Sang Ye. Even if she couldn’t speak, she didn’t want to leave just like that.

She had already hurt Sang Ye once. She didn’t want to get hurt again.

However, Shuang Yun refused to let go. He hugged her very tightly, afraid that she would be snatched away again.

Lin Huanhuan could only try her best to crane her neck and look back, wanting to see Sang Ye again.

Bai Di walked behind Shuang Yun, blocking her slow line of sight with his body.

Huanhuan could only stare at Bai Di.

Bai Di looked back at her with an impeccably gentle smile.

Sang Ye watched as they left slowly. He felt as if a large piece of his heart had been dug out.

Even the warm spring breeze could not bring him any warmth.

He was alone again.

…

Lin Huanhuan was brought home.

After a night, her throat magically returned to normal.

She immediately lifted the blanket. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Bai Di walked in and grabbed her.

Bai Di pressed her back to the bed. “You’ve only just recovered,” he said gently. “You need to rest. Don’t go anywhere.”

“I’m fine now. I don’t need to lie down forever.” Lin Huanhuan tried to sit up. “I want to walk around.”

She actually wanted to go down the mountain to look for Sang Ye, but she could tell that Bai Di would not want her to look for Sang Ye. If she told the truth, he would definitely disagree even more.

“No, you have to lie down at home. You can’t go anywhere.”

Bai Di’s tone was still gentle, but his words were firm, leaving her no room to argue.

Lin Huanhuan looked at him pitifully. “But I have to water the vegetable field.”

“You don’t have to worry about the vegetable field. I’ve already asked Shuang Yun to water it.”

“But isn’t Shuang Yun going hunting?”

Bai Di gave her a half-smile. “I thought you’d ask Shuang Yun why he went to work in the fields before he recovered from his leg injury. I didn’t expect you to be so unconcerned about him. It seems Shuang Yun isn’t that important to you.”

Lin Huanhuan immediately became nervous. “Shuang Yun is injured? What happened?!”

“He hurt his leg trying to get you back. When he carried you back, he bled all the way. Didn’t you notice?”

Lin Huanhuan: “…”

She hung her head in shame.

Indeed, she was so focused on Sang Ye that she did not notice that Shuang Yun was injured.

Bai Di was still talking, “If Shuang Yun finds out that you don’t care about him, he’ll definitely throw another tantrum.”

Lin Huanhuan knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to mention going down the mountain again. She could only ask eagerly, “How’s Shuang Yun’s injury? Can I go and see him?”

“He’s still watering your vegetable patch. He’ll be back later… No, he shouldn’t come back yet. Let him hunt in the forest before it gets dark.”

Lin Huanhuan heard the sarcasm in his words and couldn’t help but feel even more ashamed. She whispered, “I’m sorry…”

“You don’t have to apologize to me. After all, I’m not the one who’s hurt.”

“W-When will Shuang Yun be back?”

Bai Di glanced at her. “If you don’t want him to hunt with his injuries, he should be back soon.”

Lin Huanhuan quickly said, “There’s no need to hunt. Anyway, we still have a lot of food at home. Even if we don’t go hunting for a month or two, we won’t starve.”

Bai Di smiled quietly.

Sure enough, for the soft-hearted Huanhuan, the trick of self-injury was the best way.

Shuang Yun’s injuries were not in vain.

It didn’t take long for Shuang Yun to return.

When he entered the house, he saw Bai Di.

As one, they glanced toward the bedroom and lowered their voices.

Shuang Yun asked, “Is she better?”

“She seems to be in good spirits, but she still wants to go down the mountain to find the snake.”

Shuang Yun was immediately furious. “When I recover, I’ll immediately bring my brothers to kill that snake!”

Bai Di gave him a calm look. “Even if you kill him, don’t let Huanhuan know or she’ll be furious with you.”

Shuang Yun muttered unhappily, “I wonder what she sees in that big snake? He’s cold, bad, and his teeth are poisonous. He’s not worthy of Huanhuan at all!”

Bai Di waved his hand. “Don’t worry about that for now. Just make good use of your injuries and keep Huanhuan busy. Don’t let her go down the mountain.”

Shuang Yun was full of confidence. “Don’t worry, I won’t let her have the chance to see that snake!”

…

Lin Huanhuan was not in a deep sleep to begin with. She heard faint voices outside and immediately woke up.

She got out of bed. “Is Shuang Yun back?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuang Yun limped in with his injured right leg. “Yes, I’m back.”

His calf was wrapped tightly in animal hide. It looked quite serious.

Lin Huanhuan quickly went up to help him sit on the bed. “You’re injured. Don’t run out.”

Shuang Yun snorted. “If I don’t go down the mountain, who will water your precious vegetable field?!”

“I can send Bai Di, or I can go. I’m almost healed now.”

“No. You have to stay at home for a while. You’re not going anywhere. Bai Di is responsible for watching over you.”

In fact, Shuang Yun wanted to stay at home and watch her personally, but he knew very well that Huanhuan listened to Bai Di the most. Moreover, Bai Di was meticulous and thoughtful. As long as he was around, Huanhuan would definitely not be able to go down the mountain to find that big snake.

Although Bai Di was annoying, in the face of a foreign enemy, Shuang Yun decided to stand on the same side as him.

He could not let Huanhuan become mates with that snake!

Lin Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yun helplessly. “I’m not a child. Why would I need someone to watch over me?”

“You’re more worrisome than a child.”

At least a child wouldn’t bring a love rival back after a trip.

Lin Huanhuan lifted the simple bandage cut from a piece of animal hide and carefully observed the wound on his leg. He had only applied a little bit of the pulp of fragrant and crispy fruits. He did not even clean the wound well. There were still some bloody scabs and soil on it.

She couldn’t help but glare at him. “You didn’t even clean the wound. Aren’t you afraid of getting an infection?!”

Shuang Yun did not understand what infection meant. He said righteously, “I’m not a witch doctor. How would I know how to bandage wounds?!”

Lin Huanhuan couldn’t say anything to him.

She found wine and carefully cleaned his wound. Then, she reapplied the pulp of the fragrant and crispy fruits before bandaging the wound with animal hide.

“Stay at home and rest for the next few days. Don’t run around. Don’t let your wound get wet. If it gets infected, you’ll have to get your leg amputated!”

“What does amputation mean?”

Lin Huanhuan gestured at his knee. “I’ll chop off your entire calf!”

Shuang Yun was shocked. “Surely not?!”

“Do you believe in my medical skills?”

Shuang Yun nodded without hesitation. “Of course, I do.”

“Then when I say I’ll amputate it, I’ll definitely amputate it. Don’t think I’m joking with you.”

Seeing how confident she was, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but believe her a little. Hence, he obediently stopped fooling around.
