Chapter 190, Part 2
Perhaps because of their open and honest conversation that day, Yuan didn't rush out as hastily as before when he heard Shou's familiar footsteps.
They waited calmly in the cave for the guard to enter.
After the two of them entered the cave, Yuan, who was sitting by the fire grinding stone tools, finally turned to look at them with an expression that said, "I knew it."
However, when he turned around and saw that the two of them were carrying so many birds, Yuan couldn't keep his composure. He went blank for a moment, then showed an extremely surprised and speechless expression.
"What is this... no, what have you been doing? Why have you captured so many?"
“It was me…” Shou Gang was about to explain that he had suddenly decided to take the cubs with him to catch birds.
Jiang Luoluo immediately spoke up, interrupting Shou's words, "I wanted to know if these birds tasted good, so I asked Shou to take me to catch them!"
They took the blame upon themselves in advance.
Although Shou and Yuan have a good relationship and are unlikely to argue over such a small matter, it would be wrong for Shou to bear the risk of arguing with his partner when he has already experienced the joy of catching birds.
Jiang Luoluo thought with great loyalty, "It's okay. Anyway, she's a cub, and someone else's cub. At most, she'll get a few words of scolding, but she won't get beaten up."
Yuan glanced at the two people, one big and one small, and realized that neither of them was innocent. He couldn't help but sigh. Regardless of whose idea it was, things had already come to this point, and there was no need to investigate any further.
Yuan put down what he was holding, got up and went forward to help remove the birds that were hanging all over Shou's body. Looking at Shou, who was covered in birds, only his arm holding a baby was visible, along with a silly grin.
Even if you want to be angry, seeing Shou like this, you can't get angry anymore.
Without missing the fleeting smile on Yuan's face, Shou thought Yuan looked really good. He remained motionless as Yuan did what he wanted, taking all the birds that were tied up and hanging on him off.
The two then quickly divided the birds into two groups, each handling half of them skillfully.
With Yuan helping out, the process was indeed much faster. Shou nodded unconsciously at Jiang Luoluo's suggestion, completely unaware that Jiang Luoluo wanted him and Yuan to better connect, rather than just being a work partner.
Jiang Luoluo watched from the side, ready to help out, but in reality, Yuan and Shou were so efficient that she didn't get a chance to intervene.
After watching for a while, Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to carry her small wooden stool to the side and sit down, trying not to help or cause trouble.
Yuan just casually pulled out this little wooden stool. He probably noticed that Jiang Luoluo liked to sit on such a stool after she came over last time.
So when Jiang Luoluo came over today, she found that there was a small wooden stool made from a wooden stake.
Seeing the two working together seamlessly, Jiang Luoluo couldn't resist offering her help and creating a slightly ambiguous atmosphere.
Suddenly, in a very innocent tone, she said, "Oh dear, the three of us really look like a family of three."
When Shou heard Jiang Luoluo speak, he subconsciously wanted to reply, but after realizing what Jiang Luoluo had said, his cheeks instantly turned red, and he looked at Yuan somewhat helplessly.
I don't know how Yuan reacted.
Jiang Luoluo thought Yuan would at least blush, but Yuan's reaction was unusually calm and composed, as if he didn't feel anything about Jiang Luoluo's words, and he didn't stop what he was doing.
Oh no… Jiang Luoluo had just felt uneasy, wondering if she had said something wrong, when she heard Yuan calmly speak.
"It does look very similar. Naluo, would you like to come to our home and be our child?"
Huh? Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened, and the guard next to her reacted even more strongly, standing up immediately.
What did Yuan just say? — "Our home," "Our children."
In Yuan's words, she had already considered herself and Shou as family!
Her words were actually a response to what she had told Shou a few days earlier... She needed to calmly consider for a few days before deciding whether she should agree to be with Shou.
Jiang Luoluo did a quick calculation and realized that only three days had passed. How could she have finished considering it so quickly and agreed to it?
But upon further reflection, Jiang Luoluo felt it was quite normal. After all, Yuan and Shou had a very deep emotional foundation. The reason Yuan said she needed to consider it was because at that time, she was too emotional and unsure whether she was thinking calmly. She didn't want her emotional outburst to affect Shou's decision.
In Yuan's heart, she probably wanted to give herself and Shou a purer reason to be together, rather than because of anyone or anything else.
In that case, Jiang Luoluo felt that Yuan should have made a decision by the time he calmed down the next day. So why did he delay for two more days and only speak up now?
Jiang Luoluo's gaze fell on Shou out of the corner of her eye. Her gaze stopped, and she looked at him carefully, as if she understood something.
—That must be because Shou hasn't proactively asked Yuan about this matter in the past two days!
Shou felt that he was silently waiting for Yuan, but Yuan felt that after he "rejected" the matter, he could not find an opportunity to bring it up again.
Of course, Yuan might not be able to hold back in a couple of days and will speak up on his own, but Jiang Luoluo came over today too!
Moreover, Jiang Luoluo "coincidentally" said this.
After a rapid thought in his mind, Yuan naturally and logically said what he had been thinking about for several days, taking advantage of Jiang Luoluo's topic.
After Jiang Luoluo figured it out, she felt a little helpless. With Shou's honest personality, if it weren't for her help just now, she didn't know how much longer she would have dragged things out with Yuan.
