Chapter 213 I'm going to follow you and be the seventh in your family.
Yao smiled and said, "I knew you had nothing here, so I didn't want you to suffer. With you here in the tribe, I feel at ease."
If anything happens, as long as Tiantian makes a little noise, she can summon Yao. Linni turned to look at Tiantian and saw him staring at her with bright, peach-blossom eyes. She smiled and said to him, "Yes, with Tiantian here, it's definitely safe."
Tian Tian happily sidled up to him: "I've been listening to the boss and have been watching over Lin."
Tian Tian's hands were chubby and warm, unlike any hands Lin Ni had ever held before. Everyone else's hands were big and strong, but his felt soft and squishy, not at all like a powerful orc. Lin Ni held Tian Tian's hand in her own, looked up at him, and asked, "Tian Tian, are you sure you want to come with me?"
Tian Tian nodded: "Yes."
Linni pressed, "Even if there's no more bamboo to eat and you never come back, you still want to come with me?"
Tian Tian nodded very firmly and said, "Yes! I want to follow you and be the seventh child in your family."
Lin Ni smiled and said, "You can also call me Xiao Qi." As she spoke, she stood up, tiptoed, and gently kissed him on the lips: "Let's put a stamp on your name, and you're mine."
Tian Tian blushed and lowered her head awkwardly: "Okay."
If it were Ye and Bai, they would definitely be hugging and kissing her by now, but Tian Tian blushed and lowered his head. Seeing such a shy man for the first time, Lin Ni wanted to tease him even more. So she said, "If we go to see your mother tomorrow and she doesn't agree to us being together, I won't care about her. I'll let Yao and Yan take you away."
Tian Tian smiled sweetly, her whole body swaying: "No, she will definitely agree."
The two were chatting sweetly when Yao started clearing the table. Hearing them talk about this, Yao said, "Tomorrow we'll take our prey to see Tian Tian's mother. Their tribe has a custom of giving gifts to those who have formed a bond, and so do we in the Lin tribe."
Lin Ni looked at Yao in surprise: "Yao, how can you be so good?!" As she spoke, she went over to hug Yao.
Yao smiled and said, "I'll wash the dishes first, then I'll hug you."
Tian Tian snatched the bowl from Yao's hand: "I'll wash it, you guys chat." Then she left with a red face.
Linni looked in the direction he left with amusement and said, "Tian Tian is so shy."
Yao took her hand and said, "Let's wash our hands and take a walk?"
After washing their hands, the two walked slowly hand in hand along the edge of the field in front of the house. When Linni woke up, it was already completely dark. She then took a bath, and the three of them ate together for a long time. By then, it was late at night, and most of the beastmen in the Bear Beast Tribe had already gone to bed. Only the beastmen on night watch and patrol occasionally moved around, and the entire tribe was quiet.
Looking at the eastern moon from the Bear Beast Tribe, it seemed larger than the moons in the south, west, and north, suggesting we weren't far from the Far East. The eastern moon wasn't as bright as the western moon; it had a faint bluish hue. By the moonlight, the scenery of the Bear Beast Tribe—the terraced fields and paddy fields—had a unique charm. Looking at the scenery, Lin Ni whispered, "Yao, how much game did you hunt this afternoon? Didn't Tian Tian say the hunting grounds were far from the Bear Beast Tribe?"
Yao said, "We only hunted less than ten deer, and we can't eat that many, so why would we need to go to their usual hunting grounds? I was thinking that you're sleeping on a hard wooden bed, and you need to put on animal hides to sleep comfortably."
Hearing his thoughtfulness, Lin Ni smiled happily. She tiptoed and kissed him, but didn't say thank you.
Yao patted her head: "It's good that you find more partners, so that everyone can take better care of you. I don't want you to suffer any more."
Lin Ni took his arm and walked slowly along the edge of the field: "I didn't feel any hardship being with you. You've taken such good care of me." She was fed and clothed without lifting a finger. They even helped her get dressed, tie her hair, and bathe her. How could she have suffered at all?
Yao patted her head: "I only hate that I am not capable enough, which made you suffer so much. I never want you to suffer any more grievances."
Linni shook her head: "I know you've been doing your best to make my life better, and I'm happy to be with you."
Yao Qing kissed her on the head: "I should have been able to do better."
As the two were talking, it started to rain, so Yao picked up Lin Ni and ran home.
Tian Tian was standing at the door waiting for them: "It's raining. I'm afraid you'll go too far. It's no small matter for a woman to get wet in the rain."
Yao carried Lin Ni into the house. By then, the rain outside was pouring down. Lin Ni glanced outside a few times and said, "We haven't gone far, but the rain is falling way too fast and too hard."
Tian Tian leaned over to check on Lin Ni: "Did you get caught in the rain? That's how the weather is here, the rain comes and goes in an instant."
This wasn't the first time Linni had witnessed the weather in Yulinze Kingdom during this period; it truly could change in an instant. She had only been casually complaining earlier. Moreover, Yao had protected her in his arms and returned quickly, so she hadn't gotten wet. She looked up at Tiantian and smiled, "No. It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"
Tian Tian gently bumped her shoulder: "I'm waiting for you to come back."
Lin Ni blushed slightly, thinking he wanted to sleep with her. Besides, she had promised Yao this and that during the day... She pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Tian Tian's face also turned red. His hands unconsciously twisted in front of his chest as he whispered, "No, no! I haven't given you the marriage gift yet! After I give you the marriage gift, we'll worship the Beast God in front of our tribesmen before we get together. Although some tribesmen will form a marriage alliance first and then give the marriage gift and worship the Beast God, I don't want to do that."
"Mmm!" Lin Ni reached out and patted Tian Tian's head: "Tian Tian is such a good boy, such a good boy."
Tian Tian looked up at Lin Ni happily: "Yes, that's what Grandma said too. So, does Lin Ni like Tian Tian?"
Linni nodded: "Of course I like it. I only want a male partner that I like."
While they were talking, Yao had already finished taking a shower and came out. Seeing that they were still talking to each other affectionately, he said, "It's late. We have to go see Tian Tian's mother tomorrow. Get some rest."
Every day, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lin Ni patted Tian Tian's hand and said, "Well then, Tian Tian, goodnight!"
Tian Tian: "Lin, goodnight!"
Lin Ni didn't kiss him; instead, she took Yao's hand and went back to their room.
The room had changed dramatically since the afternoon. The four small beds had been pushed together to form a large bed, taking up half the room, somewhat resembling the heated kang beds of the old Tiger Beast Tribe. The bed was also covered with deerskin, which looked very comfortable.
