Chapter 112 Clothes Off
Wen Li's world had collapsed. She never expected that after waiting for so long, she would only find a bag of rice.

Didn't she benefit from Pei Yu's good fortune?

Could there be some other bug?

Wen Li quickly checked the rice she was awarded.

I must say, it's quite high-end.

The rice is packaged very nicely, and it looks like a high-end product. In the original world, it would cost at least twenty yuan per kilogram.

But the quantity is small.

It weighs only about two pounds.

That's not even enough for their family to eat one meal right now!

Speaking of which, the rice at home is almost gone. The food expenses for the beastmen are not small, so this rice... well, it's better than nothing.

Wen Li shut down her personal space, comforting herself that at least it was rice, something she could eat.

But she couldn't help feeling disappointed, since it wasn't quite what she had expected.

Last time I got 200 points, but now it's just rice, and only one bag at that. The difference is just too big.

That's not right.

Did Pei Yu's good luck fail to work?
Wen Li became more and more puzzled.

Or is there some other reason?
Her thoughts raced as she tried to figure out the reason.
One thing is now certain: Pei Yu's good fortune can be borrowed.

She's already done it twice.

Both times, the rewards were excellent, and even the system acknowledged this.

Why can't it be opened now?
Are there any restrictions?
How long is the restriction period? One day, two days, or three days?
Is it only one chance per day? She's already used hers today, so trying to get more luck won't work anymore?

A whole host of problems arose one after another, and Wen Li became more and more confused the more she thought about it.

She quickly calmed down.

No matter how long it takes, it seems like I won't be able to get any good luck from him now.

Let's try again tomorrow; maybe it will work then.

Anyway, Pei Yu is right next to her now, so it's just a matter of a minute if she wants to take advantage of him.

At worst, I can try them all over time.

Wen Li understood everything.

She and Pei Yu maintained their posture without changing, embracing each other.

At that moment, Wen Li suddenly heard a system notification.

It's a reminder about the level of favorability.

Wen Li turned off the favorability reminder a while ago.

The affection levels of her several husbands had reached a stable threshold, and could not increase much further.

The level of goodwill between people increases more and more slowly.

Just like leveling up, the higher the level, the more difficult it becomes to level up.

We can only wait for an opportunity or let time work its magic.

Further increases in favorability will require some opportunities.

This is not something Wen Li can control; her abilities are not strong enough to do so.

However, sincerity alone cannot completely move the other person.

Fortunately, Wen Li doesn't need too many points right now; she has enough points to use.

Let things take their course from now on.

As for returning to her original world, Wen Li didn't have much hope from the beginning.

Aside from the convenience of life there, there's nothing to miss.

She's doing quite well here now.

With this in mind, Wen Li has no intention of actively increasing favorability recently.

Pei Yu's favorability towards her had only increased slightly a long time ago.

I didn't expect it to go up again!

It even went up by ten points!!

Wen Li was somewhat bewildered.

Even in the later stages, is it possible to increase favorability by this much at once?

She released her grip on Pei Yu and leaned back.

She placed both hands on Pei Yu's strong shoulders and looked him in the eye.

She really wanted to ask Pei Yu why her favorability rating had suddenly increased.

But it would be strange to say this out loud.

After hesitating for a long time, she only managed to utter one sentence: "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Li's question wasn't entirely unexpected, because she noticed that Pei Yu's eyes seemed to be reddening.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Wen Li asked again. "Are you uncomfortable?"

Pei Yu was somewhat speechless at her question.

He said helplessly, "I was touched."

"What's so touching?" Wen Li blinked.

"Are you really unaware, or are you pretending?" Pei Yu asked her.

"I do not know."

Wen Li really didn't understand what moved Pei Yu.

"Tell me," she said with a smile.

Pei Yu didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "I didn't expect you to think of me this way."

Wen Li continued, following his words: "Yes, I miss you very much."

At times like this, it's best to go along with Pei Yu's words.

He'd already increased her favorability, so she certainly couldn't do anything to spoil the mood.

As expected, Pei Yu's favorability increased by two points after Wen Li said those words.

This immediately increased my favorability rating by twelve points.

This is truly rare for Pei Yu at this stage.

After all, the later the game goes, the slower the favorability rating increases.

Although Wen Li was somewhat confused, she was also very happy.

I've accumulated more points, how could I not be happy?

"Ugh."

Wen Li's happiness didn't last long; Pei Yu suddenly sighed.

He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring his reddened eye sockets.

She looked so endearing that it softened Wen Li's heart.

"What is it now?" Wen Li asked softly.

She felt that Pei Yu was acting a little strange today.

Pei Yu glanced at her and said quietly, "It's nothing."

Wen Li was puzzled.

Without saying anything, she simply reached out and hugged Pei Yu, gently patting his back.

"Alright, you're not going to cry, are you?" Wen Li joked, "I'm getting embarrassed by this."

"I didn't cry," Pei Yu denied.

"Why are your eyes so red?" Wen Li hugged his neck.

"……do not know."

As Pei Yu spoke, he tightened his grip on Wen Li, as if trying to meld her into his very being.

At this moment, Pei Yu's thoughts were in turmoil.

Wen Li held him like that, and he was deeply moved.

He never expected Wen Li to care about him so much.

She waited for him to come back, braving the cold, and now she's giving him a hug. Pei Yu's heart melted.

However, Wen Li had no idea what Pei Yu was thinking at that moment.

Thinking he had been upset by something, she gently comforted him.

Her gentleness subtly won over Pei Yu.

Wen Li only let go of Pei Yu when others came to call them for dinner.

"Alright, let's go eat," Wen Li said.

Zhu Yan has already prepared tonight's dinner.

However, it was Xin Yuan who came to call Wen Li.

When the curtain was lifted, Xin Yuan was stunned to see Wen Li and Pei Yu coming out of the room.

The words he originally wanted to say to Wen Li were thus stuck in his throat.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Wen Li's slightly red lips.

It was red and swollen there, as if someone had bitten it.

Without even thinking, I know what happened in the room just now.

An indescribable feeling welled up in Xin Yuan's heart, both sour and bitter, almost overwhelming him.

He has been feeling this way frequently lately, and it makes him very uncomfortable.

Xin Yuan's gaze met Wen Li's, but he quickly looked away.

"time to eat."

A voice inside him was telling him that he shouldn't be jealous.

After all, they are all Wen Li's beast husbands.

But he still felt sad. Xin Yuan had witnessed all of Wen Li's actions, including waiting for Pei Yu and taking him away.

Xin Yuan recalled Wen Li's attitude towards him.

They weren't particularly enthusiastic.

Although things were fine at first... it wouldn't be like how they treated Pei Yu.

This comparison made him feel increasingly unbalanced.

But he didn't intend to tell Wen Li these things.

This makes him seem petty and immature.

Xin Yuan would try his best to process these inexplicable emotions.

However, he overestimated himself.

Not long after the four of them sat down at the table, Shen Yihe arrived.

Wen Li sat in the middle seat, and several pairs of eyes were staring at her.

Wen Li used to be completely unaccustomed to it, but now she has completely adapted to it.

"Let's eat," she said.

Only then did the men begin to eat.

Now she is the wife, and even Shen Yihe has to obey her orders.

Although they were just minor details, Wen Li felt quite satisfied.

After Wen Li started eating, the others began to pick up food one after another.

Today, Zhu Yan cooked all of her favorite dishes.

The group had nothing to talk about, so Wen Li ate in silence, glancing at her beastmen husbands from time to time.

She noticed that Xin Yuan seemed to be in a bad mood.

He used to be extremely enthusiastic about food, and he would always eat with his head down.

I wasn't in a good mood today and didn't have much of an appetite. I only picked up a few dishes before starting to eat rice.

Wen Li really wanted to ask him, but because several beastmen were present, she suppressed what she wanted to say.

After quickly finishing their dinner, Pei Yu and Shen Yihe took on the task of washing the dishes.

Today, Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan are the ones cooking, while the other husbands will take the initiative to share the other housework.

Because Wen Li is the wife, she doesn't have to do anything.

This is the advantage of having a wife as the mistress of the house.

Wen Li wasn't the type of person to create trouble for herself.

If they don't let her do it, then she won't do it.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

Wen Li still cares about Xin Yuan.

Thinking of his behavior at the dinner table, Wen Li hesitated for a moment before finally arriving at Xin Yuan's door.

"Xin Yuan, may I come in?"

Wen Li asked softly.

It was very quiet inside.

Just when Wen Li thought Xin Yuan wasn't home, he suddenly answered her question.

"Sure, come in."

Wen Li lifted the curtain and entered Xin Yuan's room.

It's still the same here.

His room was similar to his previous cave.

It contained all sorts of food, as well as some dried mushrooms.

Arranged by Xin Yuan, it looked just like a decoration.

He has always been very knowledgeable about these things.

Even though we moved to a different location, these things were still there, filling the room completely, and they look quite interesting hanging there.

"Why are you here?"

When Xin Yuan saw Wen Li approaching, he stood there somewhat reservedly.

Wen Li pointed to the chair next to her and asked softly, "May I sit here?"

Xin Yuan nodded, "Of course, you can sit wherever you like."

Xin Yuan's room contained a table and a chair.

Besides that, there's food, and all sorts of other bottles and jars.

After Wen Li sat down, she looked at him and asked, "Are you in a bad mood today?"

Xin Yuan subconsciously pursed his lips and looked up at Wen Li.

Their eyes met, and Wen Li clearly saw the surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

“No,” Xin Yuan said.

He still denied it, but Wen Li couldn't believe him.

"Don't lie," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan remained silent for a moment.

After a while, he looked at Wen Li again.

"...How did you know?"

Wen Li rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes staring straight at him.

"I've noticed," Wen Li said seriously. "You haven't seemed to have much of an appetite today."

Xin Yuan, which is usually his favorite food, was barely eaten today.

For a foodie, the scariest thing is not eating.

Xin Yuan is such a foodie.

"Are you feeling unwell? Or what's wrong?" Wen Li asked again.

Xin Yuan, whose secret had been exposed, fell silent once again.

Wen Li had the air of a caring older sister, with a gentle smile.

"If you have any worries, feel free to tell me anytime, and I'll help you analyze them."

Xin Yuan is quite different from Wen Li.

Although there were some misunderstandings between the two.

Xin Yuan was the first beastman Wen Li came into contact with, and also the first beastman she trusted.

The first favorability points she gained were also given by Xin Yuan.

For this reason alone, Xin Yuan holds a very special place in her heart.

Perhaps it was because Wen Li's voice was too gentle that Xin Yuan's heart raced uncontrollably.

My eyes are getting hotter and hotter.

He turned his head away awkwardly, "...You've been paying attention to me the whole time?"

During the meal, he noticed Wen Li's gaze appearing from time to time.

I didn't think too much about it at the time.

He always thought that Wen Li cared most about Zhu Yan and Pei Yu.

“Yes,” Wen Li answered decisively, “If I hadn’t been paying attention to you, how would I have noticed these things?”

Hearing Wen Li's words, Xin Yuan's mood improved considerably.

He discovered that she seemed to have the switch on his emotions, and her every move could easily tug at his heartstrings.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with you now?" Wen Li asked.

"It's really nothing," Xin Heng said softly. "I'm just a little tired."

This statement was half true and half false, and Wen Li found it difficult to discern the truth.

"Is that so?" Wen Li asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, I'm just too tired, that's why I don't have much of an appetite," Xin Yuan said softly.

He couldn't very well tell Wen Li directly that he felt uncomfortable seeing her and Pei Yu so intimate.

This makes him seem petty.

Xin Yuan didn't want it to be like this.

Wen Li thought about it and realized that sometimes when she was too tired, she really didn't have much of an appetite, but she also felt that it wasn't quite like that.

Wen Li didn't dare to speculate, for fear of overthinking things.

She looked at Xin Yuan, a thought flashing through her mind.

"Then, would you like me to give you a massage?" Wen Li suggested with a smile.

She came here to cheer Xin Yuan up.

Something has to be done.

Asking a few questions and then leaving would be too perfunctory.

"Massage?" Xin Yuan asked疑惑地, "What is that?"

"It can make your body feel comfortable and your mood feel good," Wen Li summarized simply.

"Want to give it a try?" Wen Li stood up, came to Xin Yuan, and gently nudged him. "Don't worry, I'm very good at cooking."

There used to be a blind massage parlor near her home. She used to go there often when she was a child, and the owner taught her a few tricks.

It's not particularly powerful, but it's sufficient.

At Wen Li's urging, Xin Yuan lay stiffly on the bed.

"What...what should I do?" He seemed a little lost.

Wen Li stood by the bed and moved her stiff fingers.

"Nothing... uh, how about you take your clothes off?"
