"Agui, thank you!" Leng Ran said, and in his excitement, he reached out and hugged Xie Yungui.

"Ugh! Father, Dad, you're squeezing my brother and me!" Xie Chuyang suddenly exclaimed.

Leng Ran and Xie Yungui suddenly burst out laughing.

"Sleep well, I won't squeeze you anymore!" Xie Yungui checked on the two children.

"Mmm, Daddy, Father, goodnight!"

"Good night!"

When the soft snoring started again, Xie Yungui and Leng Ran finally calmed down.

"Leng Ran, why do you like me?"

"Because A-Gui is amazing, kind, and beautiful! A-Gui is the best female I've ever met!"

"You are also the most responsible orc I have ever met."

"Ah Gui, I'm glad you don't mind. I'll treat you and the baby well from now on."

"I don't mind. After all, if anyone should be complaining, it's you who should be complaining about me. Everyone in my original tribe complained about me."

"They're blind! Ah Gui is so good to you, and they still treat you badly!"

"Leng Ran, let's get to know each other first. If we're not a good match..."

Before Xie Yungui could finish speaking, Leng Ran immediately interjected, "There's no such thing as unsuitable. We're the most suitable. Even if we're not suitable, I'll try my best to make it suitable."

"Could you change the two gens you have there?" Xie Yungui suddenly asked.

For a moment, the house fell silent. Xie Yungui immediately realized how embarrassing it was that he had blurted this out.

Xie Yungui dared not speak. He had originally planned to just fall asleep and pretend he had forgotten about it the next morning.

Leng Ran spoke slowly, with a hint of grievance: "Agui, there's nothing I can change. That's just how we snake beastmen are. If you dislike me because of that, there's really nothing I can do."

Xie Yungui now wants to go back to how he was a few minutes ago, and give him a good beating, to teach him a lesson for his quick tongue.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that last time, last time... you know, I'm a little scared!"

"Don't be afraid, Ah Gui. I'll be more careful from now on. I wasn't thinking straight back then!"

"Alright, alright, go to sleep, I'm sleepy!" Xie Yungui felt that he couldn't continue talking, otherwise it would become increasingly uncontrollable.

"Ah Gui, I'm not sleepy, I'm going out for a walk!"

"It's so cold, why are you going out?" Xie Yungui was speechless; it was the snow season.

"It's because it's cold outside, I need to go out and get some peace and quiet. You're just too tempting!"

The orc's bluntness immediately made Xie Yungui understand what Leng Ran meant. *Thud* (f***ing idiot) His brain must be fried! How could he ask such a simple question? Where did his past life's alertness and keenness go?

"Okay, go ahead, I'm sleepy!" Xie Yungui said, then closed his eyes, though his heart was pounding.

"good!"

Then Leng Ran really went outside.

After Leng Ran walked out of the courtyard, he looked at the snowflakes in the sky and his smile widened. A Gui hadn't rejected him; A Gui had given him a chance. A Gui would definitely be Leng Ran's partner in the future.

He was so happy, he wanted to laugh out loud, but it was nighttime and his son and Ah Gui were both asleep, so he didn't want to disturb them.

But he was genuinely happy!

Then, he transformed into a snake and crawled into the snowdrift to calm down: "Hiss hiss hiss!!! (So happy, so happy!), hiss hiss hiss (Agui will be my mate from now on.)"

Protruding from the snowdrift unseen by people, a jet-black, arm-thick spicy strip happily twisted into a pretzel shape...

When Xie Yungui woke up the next morning, he found that Leng Ran was no longer in the room.

He felt that last night was just a dream, a dream of a cold and passionate confession.

He then put on his clothes and animal skins and went out of the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I heard the sound of people clearing the snow.

Xie Yungui quickly went over to check on them, worried that they might slip and fall while cleaning.

"Chief Agui, why didn't you sleep a little longer before getting up? We orcs can handle things here," Amao said with a smile.

"I'm not sleepy anymore, be careful!" Xie Yungui watched the squirrel, about the size of a goat, clearing snow from the rooftop, holding a wooden shovel that was a little taller than him.

"Don't worry, Chief Agui, this height is nothing to us squirrel beastmen."

"Watch out, move aside! The snow is about to fall," Amao said.

"Agui, come closer!" Leng Ran suddenly reached out, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to a safe distance.

Xie Yungui was a little taken aback. When he did, he felt embarrassed and tried to pull his hand away from Leng Ran's, but Leng Ran wouldn't let him and held it tightly.

Xie Yungui blushed instantly when he saw the other orcs looking at them with knowing smiles.

Seeing Xie Yungui's embarrassed expression, Leng Ran felt an urge to kiss him, but was afraid of scaring him, so she took it slow.

The snow had piled up quite thick, and it fell down with a whoosh.

The falling snow splashed up, instantly blocking the other orcs' view.

Leng Ran's heart stirred, and he lowered his head, leaned over, and kissed Xie Yungui's cheek.

Xie Yungui stared blankly at Leng Ran, who smiled and said, "Agui, you're so handsome!"

"You look good too!" Xie Yungui said, then took a shovel and went to shovel snow.

Leng Ran was taken aback, then followed.

It's good that Agui didn't hit him!

Afterwards, the tribe members came to clear the snow, and the children came out to play, but they all played near the communal house.

They pushed all the snow to the open space on the other side, while Amao ran around clearing it from the other houses, and the others shoveled snow below.

And just like that, the morning was over.

It's now the middle of the snow season, which is also when the snow is heaviest, so we have to clear it about every three days.

Otherwise, it would definitely collapse.

Ever since Leng Ran and Xie Yungui had their conversation, Leng Ran's deep affection has been no longer hidden, and he's been making it clear everywhere that Xie Yungui belongs to him.

Xie Yungui didn't say anything; in any case, he was also feeling rather...uncomfortable.

On this day, while Leng Ran was patrolling around the tribe, he actually saw the shadow of a fox.

It's a red fox; this one must be a fox that isn't afraid of the cold.

Then, he transformed into beast form, climbed into the snowdrift, and actually managed to destroy several fox dens.

However, he didn't catch the cubs or the mother fox; he only caught the other male foxes.

He didn't find it cruel; it was simply a matter of eating and being eaten. These foxes were food, part of the chain in nature.

He carried the five foxes back to the tribe, and he couldn't be happier.

"Agui, look what I caught!" Leng Ran said to Xie Yungui as soon as he entered the house.

"Snow fox?" This is clearly a snow fox. There are white and red ones. These foxes only appear during the snowy season, unafraid of the cold.

"Yes, I didn't catch the cubs or the mother fox. I'll bring these back to make you some nice clothes!"

"good!"

Actually, at the beginning, Xie Yungui also felt cruel when hunting prey, but gradually he got used to it and realized that these were just food.

Meanwhile, the beastmen of the fox tribe were starving. When Fox Qiang went out to relieve himself, he saw many snow rabbits in the Death Forest and immediately became lively.

Although the snow hare is fast, it can't outrun the foxes!

He then hurried back to inform the clan chief!
