...

Ji Xiaoou came out of the house in panic, stopped outside the door and gasped gently, and reached out and touched his heart.

At that moment just now, she was a little shaken...

How could this happen? She was willing to stay in this strange continent for a leopard?

Is she crazy?

Or... she was attracted to Renne?

Ji Xiaoou's face was pale and he bit his lips incredibly, and his heart beat violently because of this terrible perception.

No, impossible.

She is a human, how could she be moved by a leopard?

It must be because she has been too close to Renn recently. She has no relatives or friends in this world. Renn is the only orc she can trust. She subconsciously regards him as her only support and puts down all her guard against him. And because he is Taotao, she devoted some feelings to him at the beginning, and even if he suddenly became "Renn", the memories of experiencing life and death together cannot be erased.

So, she mistakenly regarded this kind of relationship as a heart-warming feeling?

Yes, yes, that must be true.

Ji Xiaoou kept persuading herself, trying to get rid of the ridiculous idea in her mind.

Not to mention that the world is full of crises, how can humans combine with animals? It is simply contrary to morality and cannot be tolerated by nature.

After reaching this conclusion, Ji Xiaoou naturally did not dare to get too close to Renne anymore. After thinking for a while, he decided to visit Su Chana.

Since Suchana was bitten by a saber-toothed tiger, Ji Xiaoou hasn't seen her once.

This time, Sujira was drying dried meat in the yard. Sujira paused when she saw her dry meat and said nothing.

Since he learned that Sujila ordered Wilbur to send him into the back street, Ji Xiaoou didn't know what to say to him, and just asked: "Is Suchana inside?"

Sujira nodded.

Ji Xiaoou was about to walk inside when he heard Sujila say, "Did you instigate the leader to change the clan rules?"

"What?" Ji Xiaoou was stunned when she heard this, turned around and said seriously: "Of course it's not me."

Sujira's face improved slightly, but her mouth was not forgiven at all. "If you can't stay in our race for a long time, then you'd better not give the chief any hope, who can find another better spouse."

As the former elder of the Leopard tribe, Sujila already knew that Winter was going to the Bornian continent to find Pat, and also knew that Ji Xiaoou wanted to return to his race, otherwise Weibing would not have let her use this to lure her.

Since Sujira cannot stop Renne from changing the clan rules, he certainly hopes Renne finds a spouse of his own clan to ensure the purity of his bloodline.

Otherwise, with Renn's powerful genes, he would have given birth to a descendant of congenital disability with Ji Xiaoou, wouldn't it be a waste?

Ji Xiaoou pursed her lower lips and looked at Sujila with her black eyes, "Do these also belong to the positions of elders?"

Sujila said coldly: "Of course not counting." What's more, he is no longer an elder.

"If not," Ji Xiaoou is reasonable and well-founded, "the tribe members do not seem to interfere with the leader's right to choose a spouse."

"you!"

Sujila was so angry that she was poked into the pain and could not refute it. The female looked soft and didn't expect to speak so hard.

Ji Xiaoou did not talk to Sujila anymore and turned around and walked into the house.

Su Chana was half-sitting on the head of the bed. The wounded part of her neck was treated by a veterinarian. She had been sewn with needles and threads and was gradually recovering. Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss that day, Su Chana's face was not bloody. When she saw Ji Xiaoou come in, her first sentence was: "You saved me that day?" Her voice was hoarse and so low that she could hardly hear it.

Ji Xiaoou nodded, thought about it and added, "I just called your tribe members and did nothing."

Suchana looked at her and probably thought that she, a herbivorous female, had no ability to defeat a saber-toothed tiger, and did not refute this sentence.

Then there was nothing to say to each person and a leopard.

Ji Xiaoou and Su Channa are not very familiar with each other, not to mention that they are not good at language. The sentence just now has already searched all the leopard languages ​​that Ji Xiaoou can learn.

Ji Xiaoou didn't stay for too long. Seeing that Su Chana had nothing to do, she left. Before leaving, Su Chana said something to her.

It was not until he was walking on the road that Ji Xiaoou understood what this sentence meant-

"Although I don't like you very much, I still have to thank you."

Back to Rennes yard, it was just noon.

Ji Xiaoou entered the kitchen and began to prepare lunch.

It's been cold recently, and she plans to make hot pot once. Her space also has many fresh ingredients and hot pot base.

But as soon as I took out the aluminum pot and scooped half a pot of water, I heard a low question sound from the door: "Where have you gone?"

Ji Xiaoou's hand shook and almost threw the pot and water on the ground. Then, he stretched out his hands in time to hold the bottom of the pot for her, and at the same time wrapped her entire body in his arms.

The breath of Rennes came overwhelmingly, catching Ji Xiaoou off guard.

"I...I'll go to visit Su Chana." Ji Xiaoou's ears turned red without warning, and then his whole little face turned red and he hesitated.

"What do you think of her?" Renne frowned.

Ji Xiaoou said: "Last time she was so seriously injured, I'll see how well she is..."

"Have you met Sujila?"

Ji Xiaoou nodded, "Yes."

Renn said: "If he says anything to you, ignore it."

Ji Xiaoou: "Oh..." She wouldn't say that Sujila persuaded her to leave him...

After a long silence, Ji Xiaoou struggled for a while and said softly: "I'm going to prepare lunch now. Can you go out?"

"Can't I stay here?" Renne lowered his head, and the breath he exhaled happened to sprinkle on her ears, hot, with a hint of burning depression.

Ji Xiaoou's cheeks suddenly turned redder, "No." His stay here would only make her will become more and more messy.

She had already figured out that she had no feelings for him, but when his body was pressed over, her heartbeat involuntarily, dong, dong... and followed by a loud sound so loud that she could hear it herself.

Renn finally let go of her, and Ji Xiaoou breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, the next second, Renne's words suddenly froze her-

“Is my question difficult to answer?”

Ji Xiaoou was stunned, "What does it mean?"

Renn said: "I don't think you have such a good relationship with Suchana."

The meaning is that she would rather visit Su Chana than answer his question just now, as it was clearly escaping.

Ji Xiaoou's scalp was numb and he was a little at a loss, "I, I haven't thought about it for the time being."

It’s not “disagreeing”, but “not thinking about it.”

A deep meaning flashed in Renne's eyes, as if the hidden surging finally found a breakthrough line of defense, and asked in a low voice: "When will I think about it?"

Ji Xiaoou shook his head and said frankly: "I don't know."

Maybe I can wait for Winter to come back, or maybe I will never think well.

Renn was silent for a moment and said, "It is not difficult to admit staying."

Ji Xiaoou seemed to have a cat with his tail stepped on, suddenly pushed Renn away, and said with claws, "...I don't want to stay!" After that, he pushed the pot in his hand into Renn's arms and ran out of the kitchen quickly.

Haven't she suffered enough here? She almost died again and again, was chased and fled by orcs here, and witnessed countless scenes of herbivorous orcs being preyed by carnivorous orcs... She wanted to stay here because she was crazy.

Inside the house, Renn leaned against the stove with his long legs overlapping casually, and a deep gully appeared between his eyebrows.

...I'm still too impatient.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the pot with half water in his arms, picked it up and put it on the stove beside him, got up and walked out.

*

Since then, Ji Xiaoou has always kept a distance from Rennes.

Except for having to sit together during meals, Ji Xiaoou wanted to be eight feet away from him at other times.

Not to mention hugging, it is difficult for Renn to get close to her now. While sleeping, she prepared a small tent and placed it next to the fireplace. After dark, she got into the tent on time, zipped up, and completely isolated Renn.

After two days, Renne's face looked very bad.

I tried to catch her in front of me several times and asked what it meant, but Ji Xiaoou hid heavily and before he could get close, she ran away.

This time, before Renn spoke, Ji Xiaoou took the lead and said, "I want to go to the Houshan Creek for a walk."

Her compass has not been repaired. When she passed by the back mountain last time, she noticed that the stones on the roadside seemed to be attracted by some force and rolled in one direction. She picked up two stones and put them together, and the two gravels really absorbed together.

Ji Xiaoou guessed that there was natural magnetite nearby. If the magnetite magnetic field was used to help demagnetize the compass, it might be successful.

"It's just right." Renn said without changing his expression: "There are some problems in the borders of the back mountain, and I need to go there too."

Ji Xiaoou: "..."

After Ren said that, he walked past her and walked out the door.

It was too late to regret at this time. Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to follow Renn and walk back to the mountain.

The back mountain is not far from Rennes's home, and can be reached in a quarter of an hour's walk.
To be continued...
