Chapter 47: Going out to look for late night fruit
"W-who said I do not know what I am doing with the spices?" Although Lin Huahua’s voice tried to come out confident it was so obvious that she was lying and Feng Yiren almost felt like laughing.
Mu Qingyi on the other hand frowned, because the first though that crossed his mind was that Lin Huahua was just pretending to want meat earlier.
But now that it was time it eat, she was trying to back out. He felt a bit sad because he had so much hope for this.
But looking at the way Lin Huahua looked so flustered, his heart immediately clenched. Even though she was a bit spoilt and demanding she was still his female and it was his place to care and provide for her.
So he made up his mind "It’s ok if you don’t want meat, I can quickly go out and hunt fruits for you to eat this night then later tomorrow I will set out earlier to see if neighboring tribes have any rice left"
The moment those words left Mu Qingyi’s lips, Feng Yiren’s gaze immediately darkened, not just because he was jealous but because he was starting to think that Lin Huahua might have been putting on an act all along.
So that they would soften up and she would simply use the opportunity to get them to be more obedient.
The moment that thought filled his mind, he felt his heart hardened. His gaze was suddenly filled with hate as he stared at Lin Huahua.
If this female dares to accept Mu Qingyi’s offer, that means her heart must still be black and all her earlier act must have been a lie.
Feng Yiren silently though as he waited, even Hu Baiyu who had been avoiding eye contact with Lin Huahua tensed up..
Because even though him and Mu Qingyi were rivals when it came to love, he could not wish that type of fate on Mu Qingyi because he knew how many males died every season.
Simply because they were trying to get things like rice to please their females.
Lin Huahua on the other hand almost turned red from anger, because she felt like all she had said to the these men earlier went into one ear and then it came out another because what is this.
What did this Buck beastman mean by going out for fruits and rice when it was already so late, Feng Yiren had practically announced to her earlier that there were out of season for rice and most of all they had meat here.
What did this buck beastman mean by this?
Was it not already night?
Was he not already tired?
Had she not just told them with her own mouth that they should always put themselves first?
And most importantly, there was already meat right here in front of them, so why was he already planning to run out into the darkness like some tragic hardworking male in a story whose only job was to suffer for a female’s appetite?
The more Lin Huahua thought about it, the more angry she became, and because she was already flustered from almost embarrassing herself just now, that anger rose even faster.
So before anyone could say another word, she lifted one hand and pointed straight at Mu Qingyi.
Her little finger was slender, but the force behind it was so serious that one would think she was passing judgment on a criminal.
"What did I tell you?" Lin Huahua said as she glared at him, her cheeks puffing up a little and her white rat ears twitching with agitation. "Did I not tell you to always put yourself first? How can you go out this late at night to hunt fruits and look for rice? Are you trying to make me mad on purpose?"
Mu Qingyi froze.
Feng Yiren also froze.
Even Hu Baiyu, who had been sitting there quietly with his lion ears lowered, lifted his head at once and looked at her in surprise.
To be honest, the three of them had not expected this reaction at all.
Not even a little.
They had all thought that if a male offered to go out at night to search for something better for her to eat, Lin Huahua would either accept it naturally or at least hesitate for half a breath before letting him go.
That was what the old Lin Huahua would have done.
No.
To be more exact, the old Lin Huahua might not even have waited for someone to offer. She would have ordered it herself.
She would have raised her chin, looked displeased, and made them run from one place to another until someone returned with what she wanted. If there was no rice in the nearby tribes, then go farther. If it took all night, then stay out all night. If they came back injured, then that was their own problem for being useless.
That was the kind of female she had been before.
So when Lin Huahua pointed at Mu Qingyi and scolded him for trying to go out at night, the three males truly did not know how to react for a moment.
Mu Qingyi looked at her with blank surprise, his tall deer body still and his large antlers almost seeming to pause with him.
Feng Yiren’s fox ears tilted forward sharply, and the dark suspicion in his red eyes cracked for a second, because if Lin Huahua was truly pretending and planning to use them again, then why would she stop Mu Qingyi now?
That made no sense.
None at all.
Feng Yiren stared at her little angry face and slowly felt a strange tightness in his chest.
Had he really been wrong again?
Could it be that she had actually changed this much in a short span?
The thought made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Not because he hated it.
But because every time he thought he had figured her out, Lin Huahua did something that forced him to start all over again.
