Chapter 26 Living Together

As soon as Su Luoluo spoke, Xiao Ye looked at Mo Xuan with some confusion.

Isn't Mo Xuan the person who usually hates Su Luoluo the most?
Why are you actually hiding in the distance and spying on Su Luoluo today?

Mo Xuan touched his nose, looking embarrassed as if he had been caught out.

He overheard Su Luoluo and Lan Ya's conversation, and when he heard that Su Luoluo was going to cook for herself, he followed her out of curiosity.

The beggar's chicken I had yesterday smelled so good! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

He couldn't resist and hid to watch, wondering if he could learn to make one himself.

Who knew that Xiao Ye had arrived early, not only bringing Su Luoluo a few eggs but also obediently helping her with chores.

He was so surprised that he forgot to cover his body and was discovered by Xiao Ye.

Hearing Su Luoluo ask this question, Mo Xuan was tempted to deny it.

But the cravings in his heart tempted him, making it impossible for him to refuse.

They fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, Su Luoluo understood what he meant.

This is something they're too embarrassed to say, but they don't want to leave directly.

It's really a case of wanting both...

She wouldn't tolerate him.

I made a lot of breakfast today, so one more person won't be a problem.

She glanced at him and said casually, "It's not that you can't have some if you want. I just made some extra corn porridge, but you need to promise me one thing."

Upon hearing that he had to agree to something for Su Luoluo, Mo Xuan immediately became alert and was about to say that he wouldn't eat the meal.

He was so captivated by Su Luoluo's beggar's chicken yesterday that he forgot that this person always remembered those few things.

It's impossible for me to consummate our marriage just for a meal!
Seeing that his face had darkened slightly, Su Luoluo knew that he had misunderstood again.

She rolled her eyes at him. "What are you thinking? Don't worry, it has nothing to do with your health."

Mo Xuan felt a little embarrassed that Su Luoluo had so bluntly exposed his thoughts, but he still asked seriously, "What is it?"

"I want to build a house. You just need to get me some wood and build it up."

Before moving, Su Luoluo saw that some people in the tribe had started building semi-subterranean houses, and she decided to build one for herself as well.

Having my own place means I don't have to beg and plead for those vile husbands to keep watch at night anymore.

With a door and shelter all around, she could protect herself once she lit a fire.

Moreover, although she is now a primitive human, she is still a female, and she will be uncomfortable for a few days, so sleeping in the wild is not convenient.

Mo Xuan was somewhat surprised to hear this request; he never expected that Su Luoluo would ask to build a house herself.

He was fine with just lending a hand and getting some wood.

Why is it that Xiao Ye doesn't have to do it?
It's too cheap for him to have a delicious breakfast with just a few eggs!

Thinking of this, he said, "I have no objection to getting timber, but it's too unfair that Xiao Ye only gave a few eggs and got to eat! If that's the case, I can also hand over a few eggs."

Xiao Ye scoffed at this, "Who told me I got here before you?"

After listening, Su Luoluo nodded, "That's indeed unfair. I did promise to make breakfast for Xiao Ye."

"However, I only promised to make him soft-boiled eggs. If Xiao Ye wants to eat something else, he has to help me with chores just like Mo Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan instantly felt satisfied and pleased.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Ye. Su Luoluo hadn't thought about it deeply at first, but after seriously considering Mo Xuan's words, she felt it was necessary to raise the bar for making breakfast.

If Xiao Ye gets the better deal today, will these two just want to get an egg and eat for free every day? That's not worth it for her.

Xiao Ye froze upon hearing this, but when he saw Su Luoluo putting golden corn kernels into a nutshell, it looked delicious.

He compromised: "Okay, but I can't share the eggs I brought with Mo Xuan."

Su Luoluo nodded, "Of course, this is yours. We agreed that only the two of us can eat it."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan's smug face instantly fell.

Seeing Mo Xuan's discomfiture, Xiao Ye crossed his arms and said, "Well, what can I do? I brought eggs with me today."

Mo Xuan: "."

Su Luoluo: "."

After the matter was settled, Su Luoluo buried herself in her work again.

She had almost finished removing the kernels from the corn cobs, and then she added some water from the deep pool and placed it on the earthen stove made of stones, which she had already set up a fire for.

Then she filled the fruit shells that Xiao Ye had peeled with water and started cooking them on a separate stove.

While the water was boiling, she used...

She sharpened one end of a few branches she had torn with a stone knife, then stuck the corn into them and handed them to the two people waiting nearby: "Put this corn in the fire to roast, and be careful to turn it over from time to time, otherwise it will burn and won't taste good."

The two of them took it without saying a word and started roasting it over the fire.

Mo Xuan had just been wondering why Xiao Ye was so obedient, but now that he was doing it himself, he found that it was quite natural to do it.

After all, Su Luoluo was indeed busy. Doing a little work in order to be able to eat delicious food sooner was nothing.

So the two of them started grilling corn in unison.

Su Luoluo was busy stirring the corn kernels in the pot to prevent them from sticking together.

When the corn porridge was almost cooked, she put the eggs into another pot of boiling water. After mentally counting to 360 seconds, she used a fruit peel to scoop all the eggs out.

After soaking the fruit in cold water, she found three more medium-sized wild fruit shells that had just been used for cooking, removed the pulp, and used them to make bowls.

After making the bowl, she peeled the eggshells, added some seasonings and salt that she had already found, stirred it, and handed it to Mo Xuan.

Without soy sauce, the taste is definitely lacking, but it's still better than wild berries.

Xiao Ye's eyes widened when he saw the bright orange egg that was oozing juice.

Unexpectedly, he could do this with an egg. He then picked up two twigs to use as chopsticks and put half of the egg into his mouth.

It tastes really good.

Smooth and tender.

This made Mo Xuan, who was watching from the side, widen his eyes, but Xiao Ye had no intention of sharing any with him and ate one egg by himself.

Su Luoluo watched Mo Xuan longingly as Xiao Ye ate the soft-boiled egg. She originally wanted to share one with him, but then she remembered how the others looked at her with disgust at her drool, so she gave up the idea.

Fortunately, the corn porridge was almost done cooking.

Su Luoluo scooped out a new bowl and gave it to him, and he licked it.

It tasted sweet, fragrant, and sticky; I drank it down with great satisfaction.

Xiao Ye got a bowl and happily drank it.

Building a house for Su Luoluo and being able to eat such a delicious breakfast is totally worth it!
