Chapter 113 Cub: A Powerful Bystander
Jiu Chen watched as Ruan Xiyue raised and then lowered the corners of her mouth, and pursed his lips.
“Alright then… If you don’t want to, I… I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do. But, can I stay and take care of you? You’re carrying my baby, and I should give you all-around care.” Jiu Chen’s eyes were full of calm seriousness.
Ruan Xiyue's lips drooped again; she wasn't very satisfied with Jiu Chen's reaction.
It seemed that Jiu Chen was only doing this for the cubs, which made her very uncomfortable.
Jiu Chen calmed his anxious emotions, took a deep breath, and his steady voice concealed all his panic: "I will wait until you are willing to become my partner before bringing it up. I was reluctant to have much contact with you before because I was afraid that my getting close would cause you trouble."
“You don’t need to worry now. I won’t become your partner.” Ruan Xiyue shrugged.
Jiu Chen pursed his thin lips.
“You…you’re angry that I didn’t react at all the next day? I can explain, I…that day…I thought it was a dream…I’m sorry, I…” Jiu Chen said, recalling that night when he let go of his restraint and became unrestrained.
He truly believed it was a dream, a beautiful fantasy of his own.
Who knew... that actually happened...
He wondered if Xi Yue disliked his recklessness, which was why she left after only one time...
He wondered if it was because he kept avoiding Xi Yue the next day that Ruan Xi Yue thought he didn't like her.
But he knew for himself that it wasn't like that. He didn't dislike Xi Yue as a female.
If he had no ulterior motives, how could he have been so unrestrained in that "dream"...
He didn't know when he had these thoughts.
It started when she saw Xi Yue, the female, jump off the arena to protect her beast mate and say those fierce words to Qin Huan.
Or was it that she was moved by the fact that she was willing to pay any price for the cubs?
In short, he did not regret what he did to Ruan Xiyue.
He couldn't help but recall some details from that day. In his "dream," Xi Yue had kissed him passionately. Did that mean... she actually liked him a little bit too?
But... what exactly did he do wrong that made her suddenly dislike him?
Is he... feeling unwell? He can learn, and he can change...
Jiu Chen's cheeks suddenly flushed a light pink, his earlobes turned bright red, and his fluffy white ears stood up from the top of his head.
Ruan Xiyue tilted her head, and Jiu Chen turned his head to the side, making the light pink on his face seem even more pronounced.
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jiu Chen's cat ears, and heard him gasp noticeably.
Jiu Chen reached out, wanting to remove Ruan Xiyue's wrist, but only lifted it slightly before placing his hand back on her thigh, his palm slightly loose.
Ruan Xiyue was very curious about Jiu Chen's contrasting personality. He seemed like a cold and aloof person, so how could he react so strongly to being teased like a mimosa?
Jiu Chen's heart rate was too fast, causing his damaged heart meridians to be unable to withstand it.
But he just kept his lips tightly pressed together, allowing Ruan Xiyue to massage his ears.
The burning heat at Ruan Xiyue's fingertips suddenly began to cool. Ruan Xiyue was even more surprised!
[Host, Jiu Chen's male heart meridian has been damaged and not healed, resulting in an irregular heartbeat. His heart is beating too fast, which is increasing his workload. Does the host want to kill him?] Duo Duo was puzzled and confused.
Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath. She really didn't understand. If she was uncomfortable, why didn't she say anything? And why did she let her massage her like this?
Ruan Xiyue took her hand off Jiu Chen's ear, but Jiu Chen held Ruan Xiyue's hand and looked at her seriously: "If you like, you can keep squeezing it."
Ruan Xiyue didn't know whether to be angry at his indifference to the changes in her heart, or to feel sorry for him for enduring discomfort just to make her happy.
Instead of withdrawing her wrist, she placed her hand on Jiu Chen's chest, and a warm, healing energy slowly repaired Jiu Chen's heart meridian.
Although the effect was minimal, it noticeably restored Jiu Chen's lip color to a fairly normal shade.
Jiu Chen quickly grasped Ruan Xiyue's hand and earnestly advised, "There's no need to expend your special abilities. My heart meridian just needs some rest."
Ruan Xiyue frowned, and Jiu Chen quickly explained, "The extent of your heart meridian damage is about the same as mine. Overusing your abilities will increase your burden."
Ruan Xiyue understood. He didn't say a word of sympathy for her, but every word he said conveyed that he felt sorry for her.
Ruan Xiyue's lips curled up: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Jiu Chen nodded solemnly: "I feel very sorry for you."
Ruan Xiyue avoided Jiu Chen's gaze, which seemed to hold even the deepest affection for a dog, and cleared her throat: "I'm hungry..."
"I'll cook for you now. Are there any dietary restrictions?"
"No."
Jiu Chen immediately got up and went into the kitchen.
A group of cubs sat in a row, having watched Ruan Xiyue treat Jiu Chen the whole time, and began to communicate in cub language.
Ruan Xiyue was a little curious, so she bought one of the best Beast Mother Gummies in the Beast World. And then… what did she hear?!
"Wow—Mom is so amazing! She managed to tame that cold and aloof Father into an obedient little cub!"
“Did you learn something? I want to do that in the future!” Ruan Rou said to Ruan Ling.
"That doesn't make sense, does it? First, you'd have to meet a cold, aloof male. But why would you like a cold, aloof male? What kind of weird taste is that?"
"I am a little female born to my mother! Of course I am just as strange as my mother!"
Ruan Ling thought for a moment, nodded, and said seriously, "What you said makes sense! Maybe I'll become just as strange in the future!"
Ruan Ruan didn't quite understand, but excitedly shouted, "Weird! We are all weird cubs!"
The youngest cubs were still mimicking: "Strange! Mother! Cold! Like! Strange, strange!"
Ruan Xiyue opened her mouth, pointed at them, and asked Cong Xian, "You're just going to let them do this...you're just going to...you're not going to do anything about it?"
Cong Xian blushed: "I...I was trying to figure out what attracted you to him...and I forgot the cub was there too..."
"You don't need to learn, my dear beast husband."
Wow—I'll learn—I'll seduce you! I'll learn! Kiss me! I'll learn!
Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath and almost fainted. She immediately put all the cubs into her portable nursery.
And in her mind, she mentally reminded Duoduo: "[In the future, I hope you can remind me of these scenes that are inappropriate for the cubs to see! What are you learning? Can't you pay a little more attention to educating the cubs?]"
【Oh—okay… Duoduo understands.】 Duoduo was also engrossed in reading it. Wasn't this better than the book "How to Become a Top Salesperson" that it bought from Qimao in another system using its points?
Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath. Having teased Jiu Chen, it was time to get down to business: "Duo Duo, how can we resolve this issue with Jiu Chen's heart meridian as quickly as possible?"
