Chapter 762 I'm in
As dusk deepened, the first stars cast a faint light into his gray eyes, but they could not illuminate the deep sense of destiny within them.
“I’m telling you this so that you, and others who care about her, can know,” Jin Ying’s voice was soft, but it carried a sincerity that put people at ease. “During the time I ‘exist,’ I hope everyone can relax a bit and get along better. Don’t let Wanwan be caught in the middle and suffer because of me.”
As Zhu Xiu listened to his words, he thought about how Zhu Xiu had chased after him in that world using extreme methods, and his brows furrowed.
Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) looked at Zhu Xiu with a deep and complicated gaze, "After I leave... I entrust Wanwan to your continued protection. I hope that no matter what happens, you will continue to treat her well as always."
The cold, tense aura emanating from Zhu Xiu unconsciously subsided somewhat as Jin Ying spoke calmly and sincerely.
The shadow in his eyes had not completely dissipated, but the sharp hostility had transformed into a deeper scrutiny and complex contemplation.
He stared at Jin Ying for a few seconds, seemingly trying to determine the truthfulness of her words.
After a long silence, Zhu Xiu finally spoke slowly, his voice still flat, but lacking the sharp, confrontational edge of his earlier words: "You don't need to tell us, we will."
Whether or not Fu Jinshen is there, protecting her is an instinct and responsibility ingrained in the bones of these men.
He didn't say anything more and silently continued walking towards the stone house, but his steps were slightly slower than before.
Dusk enveloped their figures, one in front of the other, their silence no longer filled with the invisible tension.
Once some things are said out loud, even if they can't become brothers immediately, they can at least temporarily shed some unnecessary burdens and maintain a difficult peace beneath the surface for the sake of the person they both care about.
As night deepened, the fire crackled inside the stone house.
The moment Zhu Xiu and Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) stepped into the stone house, Bai Wanwan seemed to sense their presence and quickly came out from the inner room to greet them.
"Finally home!"
Her gaze first swept over Zhu Xiu, and then almost instinctively went over his shoulder to Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen), who was a step behind her.
When she saw him standing there unharmed, the anxiety in her eyes subsided slightly, and she forced a smile: "How was your day? Did it go smoothly?"
Zhu Xiu took in the fleeting moment of her gaze and its final resting place.
A bitter feeling inevitably swept through his heart, but seeing that she hadn't completely ignored him, he forcibly suppressed that displeasure.
He was already walking ahead, and at this moment, he stretched out his arm and naturally pulled her into his embrace as she approached.
He turned her around and, in a few steps, settled her on a stone bench covered with soft animal hides.
"Not bad." He answered her question succinctly, but his actions didn't stop. He sat down next to her, his arm still loosely around her waist, a clear gesture of possession.
After Bai Wanwan was led to sit down, she almost subconsciously and quickly looked up at Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) who was standing a few steps away.
She saw that he was also looking in her direction, his expression as calm as ever. He even slightly curved the corners of his lips when she looked at him, as if to say, "It's okay."
But it was precisely this "it's okay" tolerance that, like a fine needle, pierced her heart with pain.
She could imagine how Fu Jinshen must have felt, watching herself being embraced so intimately by another man.
Almost reflexively, she tried to break free from Zhu Xiu's arm and create some distance.
However, just as she was about to push away Zhu Xiu's arm around her waist, reason suddenly pulled her back.
No.
If she were to push Zhu Xiu away at this moment, it would be tantamount to openly showing her favoritism and concern for Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) in front of Zhu Xiu and the other beastmen, which would be an insult and harm to Zhu Xiu.
These days, because of her guilt towards Fu Jinshen and her fear of possibly losing him, she has unconsciously neglected and ignored her other partners too much.
She couldn't afford to put on such a show in public again, making the already tense atmosphere even more strained.
The current situation is a complex result of a series of coincidences and the cruel twists of fate. She cannot change the past, nor can she easily sever any of her current feelings. Acting rashly will only hurt more people.
She sighed silently and heavily in her heart, a sigh that seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
She eventually relaxed her body and did not struggle.
Never mind...let's just leave it at that.
In this situation, no matter what you do, it's wrong; it seems like an unsolvable problem.
Before long, Jin Yi and Yan Lie brought out roasted meat and broth, the aroma filling the air.
In the past, the males would have already been feasting, but now, the males sitting around the stone table couldn't help but let their eyes fall on Bai Wanwan, whether openly or secretly, as if they had lost interest in the food.
Zhu Xiu placed a piece of roasted meat into her bowl. "What are you thinking about? Eat."
His movements were fluid and natural, seemingly just considerate, but everyone present knew the hidden agenda behind them.
Bai Wanwan found the meal utterly tasteless.
She mechanically chewed the food that Zhu Xiu had handed her, but she couldn't taste it.
His gaze kept drifting towards Fu Jinshen across from him.
He ate his food quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Jin Yi or Yin Ze beside him in hushed tones, and everything seemed normal.
However, Bai Wanwan saw it clearly.
In the depths of those eyes, in the shadows untouched by the flickering firelight, a lingering melancholy, like a hidden reef beneath the water, quietly emerges.
Every time Zhu Xiu showed her any affection, even if it was just handing her a bowl, that sadness seemed to deepen a little.
She knew that any intimacy she showed towards other men would be like an invisible, blunt knife, slowly cutting into the heart of the man who loved her deeply.
She ate a few bites quickly, then excused herself to go to the restroom and left Zhu Xiu's side.
Zhu Xiu looked at the empty seat, picked up the monkey wine on the table, tilted his head back and drank it all down.
The males had finished tidying up and it was time for them to rest.
Tonight, it's Yan Lie's turn to accompany Bai Wanwan.
He washed himself clean early in the morning and excitedly went into Bai Wanwan's room.
Then, like a large dog waiting for its owner to come home, it lay on her soft bed and waited.
Time passed slowly, the outside gradually quieted down, and the tribe drifted off to sleep.
But after waiting and waiting, Yan Lie had practically rolled the bed sheet into wrinkles, and Wanwan still hadn't come out.
Yan Lie knew that by this time in the past, Wanwan would have already finished washing up and returned.
He couldn't lie still any longer, so he sat up abruptly and strode out of the bathroom.
dong dong dong...
"Wanwan?"
The female inside didn't respond to him, and thinking about what was happening inside, he began to feel hot all over.
