My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 49 How can a new housewarming party be complete without wine?

After Linni and Yao finished talking, they noticed that the dining table had already been set up. Ye had even made several wooden bowls slightly larger than their faces, and had Feng fill half a bowl with meat soup for everyone present, including Bai Shu and Bai Ji. Linni pulled Yao to sit down on a tree stump in front of the table, and looked up at Ye, saying, "Ye, you're so kind!"

Night smiled at her: "I'll redo everything for you, so you don't have to feel bad about it."

Linni knew he was referring to the things in the cave across from the big pool, and she hugged him tightly and kissed him passionately, saying, "You're so good to me!"

He always quietly helps her with all sorts of things, and even stays up late to make clothes for her. Oh, how can there be such a good man?

This time, Ye didn't hug her and kiss her back hard. Instead, he just smiled happily. Every time he made something for her, she would kiss him on her own initiative. How could anyone not treat this lovely Lin well?

Linni gestured for everyone to sit down, then held up the large bowl in front of her with both hands, extending it to the center: "Celebrating the completion of our new home!"

When everyone was at a loss for words, Yao raised his large bowl with both hands and gently tapped it against Lin Ni's bowl: "Celebrating the completion of our new home!"

Night, Maple, Flame, and the four tiger paws all raised their bowls and clinked them together lightly: "Celebrating the completion of our new home!"

"Ah wu——"

Lin Ni took a sip of the hot soup: "It's a bit salty. How could such a big pot of meat soup be so salty? How much salt did they put in?" She looked up at Feng and Yan; they must have cooked it. Food cooked at night is usually quite bland. Lin Ni took another sip of soup, ate a few bites of meat, and suddenly looked up: "Don't we have jam and wine? How can we move into a new house without wine?"

Bai Shu jumped down from the wooden stake after hearing her words and ran to the luggage placed to the side. He pulled out the two bamboo tubes of jam and wine that the Ape Beast Tribe had given them and picked them up. Lin Ni took them, looked at everyone, placed the jam and wine on the table, and then took out her water glass, which she had almost finished drinking, opened it, and handed it to Feng: "Feng, look, make a few of these glasses. Don't make the top part; just make sure they're half this high."

Feng took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Okay, it will be done soon."

Then Linni asked Yan to make a small soup spoon and chopsticks for everyone. Ye silently turned around and made a stone fork himself: he couldn't learn to use chopsticks, so he would use a fork instead.

The men worked incredibly fast, finishing everything in less than ten minutes. With the tableware set, Linni poured everyone a glass of fruit jam wine, just enough to empty the bamboo tube of wine. Linni looked at the table with delight and stopped Yao, who was about to start eating, saying, "Wait a minute, please wait a little longer." She ran to the luggage area and took her phone out of her backpack. Turning it on, she found that although she rarely used it, even when it was off, it had lost some battery after so long, thankfully not too much.

Lin Ni found a good angle, using the stone house as a backdrop, with the handsome men at the dining table as the center of the shot. She had them raise their glasses and took a group photo with them using the front camera, then moved a little further away to take another one. Ye was already looking at the camera, and Yao was still looking very handsome and in good spirits. Feng and Yan, however, were meeting for the first time and looked a little dazed. Lin Ni smiled, put away her phone, sat down again, raised her glass, and said, "Congratulations on your new home!"

This time, everyone knew to lightly clink their glasses together and say, "Wishing you good fortune in your new home!"

Linni downed half a glass in one gulp, but a scene of dining with her family suddenly surfaced in her mind: her wise and humble father, her gentle and virtuous mother. Every time she thought of them, she felt a pain in her breath. Linni blinked hard, driving away the tears in her eyes, looked up at everyone, cut two pieces of roasted meat with a folding knife and placed them in the wooden bowls of Baizhu and Baiji, saying to them, "Baizhu, Baiji, thank you for protecting me when I first came into this world. Without you, I might have been eaten by a black bear."

"Awoo--" Bai Shu looked at Lin Ni with cute eyes, but a look of heartache flashed in her eyes.

Linni raised her glass to them and then took another sip of her drink.

The two white tigers held the bamboo cup with their paws and took a sip of the jam wine.

Yao put the small pieces of meat into her lunchbox: "Don't just drink, eat some meat."

Linni ate two pieces of grilled meat, then raised her glass to Ye: "Ye, thank you for taking such good care of me. You've lost so much weight because of me!"

Ye's face, with its distinct features, was indeed thinner than when he first met Lin Ni. He hadn't been eating or sleeping well on the journey. Ye hesitated for a moment, then raised his glass and clinked it with hers: "You've lost weight too. You should eat more in the future."

Lin Ni clinked glasses with him, took another sip of wine, and then looked at Yan: "Yan, we are so grateful to have you along the way, otherwise we don't know what dangers we would have encountered."

Yan clinked glasses with her, mimicking Ye's gesture, and looked at her with bright eyes: "Lin, I'm so glad to have met you!"

Linni took another sip of her drink, then realized her glass was empty, so she poured half of it from Ye's glass. Ye moved his lips but didn't stop her; he simply cut a few more pieces of meat into her lunchbox.

Lin Ni ate a piece of meat, then looked up at Feng and said, "Feng, thank you!"

Thank you for choosing someone as wonderful as you.

She recalled that morning when she said, "He's so amazing, he probably wouldn't even look at me, right?" Suddenly, the handsome man with an oval face and phoenix eyes next to her said, "He would." He smiled at her, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth, then blushed and lowered his eyes shyly. It wasn't that the other men's teeth weren't straight or white; it was just that their skin was all very fair, while Feng's skin was a healthy wheat color, making her white teeth particularly noticeable.

Feng stared intently at Lin Ni with burning eyes, then clinked glasses with her and smiled at her, revealing his row of neat white teeth. He didn't say anything, but simply looked up and finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Lin Ni finished the half-full glass of wine in her cup, and then poured the wine that Bai Zhu and Bai Ji had drunk halfway through into the other glass, making it a full glass. She turned to Yao, who had put a lot of meat in her lunchbox and stopped her, saying, "Eat some meat before you talk."

Linni then lowered her head and took a bite, then said to the male beastmen who had been staring at her, "You should eat too."

Everyone had been eating while watching her talk, and after listening, they all lowered their heads and ate heartily. Only Yao used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Apart from Feng, who had also successfully learned to use chopsticks, Yan only used them to poke food up and eat. He looked at Ye's stone fork and thought, "Hmm, this is a good option."

Then, while everyone was eating meat with their heads down, Lin Ni picked up her glass and said to Yao, "Yao, let's have a drink together."

Yao put down his chopsticks, raised his glass, and clinked it with hers: "It's my fault for not protecting you properly, causing you so much suffering."
