Chapter 462: Love Each Other
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsThe meat buns Xue Ling made tasted different from Bai Di’s, but they were just as delicious.
Huanhuan had not eaten meat buns for a long time. Coupled with the fact that her body had an astonishing appetite, she finished two full trays of meat buns in one go.
She had a total of 50 meat buns!
After eating, Huanhuan touched her stomach, feeling like she wanted more.
Shuang Yin was dumbfounded. She thought that she had a huge appetite, but Yu Tian’s appetite was much greater than hers.
However, when she thought of Yu Tian’s powerful strength, Shuang Yin quickly figured it out.
Usually, powerful beasts would eat a lot.
In contrast, Xue Ling was not surprised that Huanhuan could eat so much. After all, her body was that of a dragon.
An adult dragon could swallow an adult bull with its mouth.
To the dragons, 50 meat buns were equivalent to dessert. It was not even a proper meal.
Xue Ling said, “Why don’t I roast you some more meat?”
Huanhuan waved her hand. “Forget it. I’m not very hungry now.”
It was very difficult for the dragons to be completely full, so most of them maintained a half-full state. Usually, as long as they did not consume too much energy, they would just eat something to fill their stomachs.
She wanted to go down the mountain to shop. Xue Ling immediately took off his apron and washed his hands. “Let’s go. I’ll show you around.”
Huanhuan asked Shuang Yin if she wanted to go shopping together.
Shuang Yin was about to agree when Xue Ling spoke first.
He asked, “Aren’t you going for a run this morning?”
Shuang Yin said, “I just got back from a run.”
“Then hurry up and take a shower. You stink of sweat. You don’t look like a female at all.”
Shuang Yin, who was looked down on, was furious. “I don’t stink of sweat!”
Xue Ling said matter-of-factly, “Of course, you can’t smell it yourself. I can smell it clearly. Go take a shower.”
Shuang Yin lowered her head and sniffed her arm. She didn’t smell anything. She looked at Huanhuan again. “Do you smell sweat on me?”
Huanhuan was about to say no when Xue Ling put an arm around her shoulders. He half-leaned on Huanhuan and said with a smile, “Shuang Yin is a female. She has to be clean. It won’t hurt her to take another shower.”
Huanhuan thought about it and felt that he was right.
If she was clean, she would leave a good impression on anyone she met.
Hence, Huanhuan said to Shuang Yin, “Go take a shower first. Come and find us at the foot of the mountain after that.”
Shuang Yin had no choice but to resentfully wash up.
Xue Ling took Huanhuan’s hand and walked down the mountain.
Without a third wheel in the way, the two of them could go on a date. How awesome!
Huanhuan broke free of his grip. She frowned and said, “I can walk by myself. Don’t keep pulling me.”
“There are many people in the city. I’ll hold your hand. That way, we won’t easily separate.”
Huanhuan was not a three-year-old. Of course, she didn’t believe his excuse. She put her hands behind her back and said as she walked, “With my current height and strength, not many people can squeeze me. Don’t worry.”
Xue Ling looked at her current height and couldn’t help but sigh. “I’m really not used to you being so tall.”
Huanhuan pretended not to hear his sigh and strode forward.
After descending the mountain, Xue Ling brought Huanhuan around the city.
They went to see the sword tree first, then the vegetable fields and orchards.
Ever since Huanhuan left, these vegetables and fruit trees took a much longer time to grow. They were almost no different from ordinary vegetables and fruits now, but Shuang Yun still valued them very much. Not only did he specially mark out an area for them, but he also sent someone to take care of them. As long as he was free, he would come to the vegetable fields and orchards.
When Huanhuan and Xue Ling walked to the vegetable fields, they saw Shuang Yun squatting in the vegetable garden and looking down at the leaves of a beet.
He noticed people approaching and immediately looked up at the newcomer.
Xue Ling greeted him. “You’re in the vegetable garden again?”
“I came to see how these plants are doing.” Shuang Yun’s gaze paused on Huanhuan, and he frowned slightly. “Why did you bring him along?”
Xue Ling said, “I’m bringing Yu Tian to have a look around the place.”
“Not just anyone can come in here and wander around.” Shuang Yun was unhappy. The vegetable fields and orchards were filled with their memories. Here, he seemed to be able to return to the past when Huanhuan was still around.
He didn’t want any random people entering this place and disturbing the peace.
Xue Ling turned to look at Huanhuan.
Huanhuan immediately understood. “I’ll go elsewhere. Take your time.”
Xue Ling reminded her, “Don’t go too far. I’ll come and find you later.”
“Okay.”
Huanhuan turned and left. She was soon far away.
Shuang Yun saw how intimate the two of them were just now and was dissatisfied. “You’re too good to Yu Tian.”
“Yu Tian is an old friend. It’s normal for me to be nice.”
“It’s not normal. You’re good to him beyond the boundaries of ordinary friends. Especially when you look at him like you used to look at Huanhuan. It’s too explicit.”
Xue Ling chuckled. “I thought you couldn’t tell.”
Shuang Yun frowned. “What do you mean?”
“You like to be stubborn. You can clearly think things through by taking a turn, but you just won’t be flexible. You just insist on ending up at a dead end.”
“I’m stubborn? I think you’re too fickle. You love everyone you meet, right?” At this point, Shuang Yun couldn’t help but mutter, “You’re too hardcore. You even like a male beast like Yu Tian!”
Xue Ling smiled even more happily. “Yu Tian is not a male beast. She’s actually a female.”
“Huh?” Shuang Yun was stunned.
“It’s difficult for the dragon race to give birth. Yu Tian is the only child of the last leader of the dragon race, but she’s a female. Logically speaking, she can’t inherit the position of leader, so she was raised as a male beast. When she grew up, she revealed astonishing talent and her strength far exceeded the other male beasts in the dragon race. At that time, she already had the confidence to inherit the position of the leader. The leader wanted her to return to being a female, but she was unwilling, so she kept maintaining the appearance of a male beast.”
Not many people knew about this, and Xue Ling happened to be one of them.
Shuang Yun was still puzzled. “I can understand why she was forced to pretend to be a male beast when she was young, but later when she could regain her female identity, why wasn’t she willing?”
“Maybe it’s because she’s used to it. Her childhood education told her that she was a male beast. This awareness has been carved into her bones. Even when she knew later on that this perception was wrong, she couldn’t change it. In that case, she simply stopped trying to change her mindset. As a result, she has continued to insist that she’s a male beast. In any case, she’s strong enough. Gender doesn’t mean much to her.”
Shuang Yun seemed to understand. “I see…”
