Chapter 64 Heartbeat
The room was dimly lit, with only the faint light from the computer providing a slightly enchanting glow.
Her heart fluttered in those deep red eyes, momentarily flustered and disoriented.
Looking into each other's eyes at such close range felt like a scalding kiss had licked your eyes, slightly burning them.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the next second, he lowered his eyelids, his voice soft and hoarse: "I..."
He seemed to want to explain why he was there.
But it seems there's no suitable reason.
Finally, he only managed to utter two hoarse whispers: "I'm sorry..."
Jiang Mian looked down at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her dark eyes.
In the future, every time Lin Yu woke up, his eyes were always calm. After staring at her for a long time with his red eyes, he would get up and leave.
I won't explain anything to her, nor do I need to.
After all, he is Lord Rin, and she is someone he keeps as a pet.
Now the tables have turned; he's her beast slave now, and their status has changed.
Jiang Mian felt a secret sense of satisfaction for some reason.
Alright, alright, the tables have turned. In the past, you kept me as your pet; now it's my turn to keep you as your pet.
Moreover, the young Lin Yu wasn't good at hiding his emotions. In the instant he regained consciousness and their eyes met, a trace of chaotic confusion flashed in his red eyes, which she saw clearly.
Jiang Mian smiled and slowly said, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter when, as long as it's during your manic phase, I won't get angry if you come knocking on my door. Just come and knock!"
"Mmm." Lin Yu's voice was slightly hoarse as he responded softly.
But his attention was still irresistibly drawn to the touch on his hand. He could feel that his hand was still holding Jiang Mian's hand, and he could intimately feel the skin pressed tightly together. He was reluctant to pull his hand away, yet he couldn't help but stiffen as if afraid that if he moved, his hand would leave.
"I told you to take good care of your wound after you got back, didn't you listen to me?" Jiang Mian said slowly. "My left hand is also injured now, so it will take some effort for me to treat your wound with my right hand. Do you want me, a disabled person, to treat your wound?"
As she spoke, she gently grasped his hand that was pressing down on her and shook it lightly.
Even if Jiang Mian breaks her leg in the future, she will still get up in the middle of the night to treat Lin Yu, because it is her job. Moreover, Lin Yu is her boss, pays her salary, and is also her beast lord, so Jiang Mian naturally dares not be negligent.
However, things have changed, and Jiang Mian thought that things couldn't continue like this.
"You, now treat your own wounds here." Jiang Mian originally wanted to tell him to go back and treat his wounds himself, but she was worried that he wouldn't treat them if he went back, so it was better for him to treat his wounds in front of her.
So she asked him to treat her wounds.
"Okay." Lin Yu had already hidden all her emotions in her red eyes again.
At this moment, his long, narrow red eyes returned to their usual calm.
His snake tail transformed back into legs, and he sat cross-legged on the floor next to Jiang Mian's bed. He gently withdrew his fingers from between Jiang Mian's fingers, because he could find no other reason to continue holding hands.
So he sat cross-legged on the ground, took out some medicine from the hub space, and began to slowly treat his wounds.
The air became quiet again.
Lin Yu could feel Jiang Mian's gaze fixed on him. He lowered his eyelids, appearing calm, but his heart was pounding.
His heart seemed to feel a slight burning and numbness because of that gaze.
He liked that she always looked at him like that, and that he was the only orc in her eyes.
Jiang Mian looked at Lin Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground tending to his wounds, and silently asked with concern, "Does your head hurt?"
He got into a fight with Chi Lin today and broke his head. He already has headaches, and yet he got into a fight and broke his head! Does he know how much effort she'll have to spend treating this headache in the future? And it still won't be cured!
We need to treat it now before it gets too bad.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu recalled the fact that she had kissed that scorpion beastman, and a surge of resentment welled up in her heart, causing her head to throb slightly again.
He remained silent for a long time before coldly uttering a single word: "Pain..."
So during the quiet time spent tending to his wounds, he didn't say a word.
Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then knew he was unhappy. Although she didn't know why he was unhappy, she knew that if he was unhappy, he must have a headache again.
She gently placed her hand on his head and softly said, "Don't think about unhappy things."
She must have been thinking about something that made her unhappy, but she didn't know exactly what it was.
Lin Yu was taken aback. Had she really noticed that so keenly?
He thought his unhappiness wasn't very obvious.
Perhaps he thought she wouldn't care about him so meticulously, to the point that she could even sense his emotions.
Do I really... care... about... him?
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Jiang Mian gently probed, "Is something bothering you? If you don't mind, tell me. I'd love to hear it, and you'll definitely feel better if you talk about it."
Upon hearing her words, Lin Yu's blood-stained fingers clenched slightly.
He slowly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His long, narrow red eyes quietly fell on her, and various emotions surged within them.
My heart was being torn apart by all sorts of painful bitterness.
But in the end, he simply said, "Orcs and humans cannot be together."
He can't be with her, and neither can anyone else.
Jiang Mian paused, wondering what Lin Yu meant by that. Did he have a human he liked?
Perhaps the young beast lord had a human he liked?
But Jiang Mian remembered that he had never had anyone he liked, and had always been all alone.
Furthermore, Rinyu has always disliked humans. Well, I don't know why she doesn't dislike humans.
This remains a question that Jiang Mian has not yet found an answer to.
But returning to the present, perhaps the young Beast Lord did indeed have a human she liked, she just didn't know it.
Jiang Mian pondered for a moment and then quietly said, "Although beastmen and humans cannot be together, I heard from my neighbor that it's okay for a master and a beast slave to be together as long as they don't have children."
Furthermore, through the neighbors' explanation, it was discovered that some healers with husbands can also have affairs with animal slaves.
Moreover, healers with higher healing power levels enjoy extremely high status and often have multiple husbands and multiple beast slaves.
Because the birth rate of pure humans is getting lower and lower, polyandry is allowed in order to increase the birth rate. Moreover, if a woman does not find a partner before the age of twenty, she will be forcibly assigned a partner by the empire.
Despite all this, it couldn't save the increasingly low birth rate, which eventually led to the elimination of humans and the arrival of the orc era.
Because that's what the future will be like.
However, this now reminds her that the original owner of this body is already nineteen years old.
I'll be twenty in a few months. If I don't find a partner and get married soon, I'll be assigned a partner!
Jiang Mian:......
