Chapter 77 Reciprocity

The cave was originally empty, with nothing inside. Wen Li lit a lamp, illuminating the entire area.

Then, she started taking things out of it like Doraemon.

There were three small cubicles in total. Wen Li took the smallest one, and left the remaining two for the five beastmen.

Although it was a small cubicle, it was actually quite spacious, more than enough for Wen Li.

The other two cubicles are quite spacious.

Wen Li went to her small cubicle, took out the wooden bed she had made from her space, and then went to another cubicle.

There are two cubicles, one with three beds and the other with two beds.

Even when placed separately, they don't look crowded.

Wen Li thought Pei Yu was incredibly lucky to have found such a place.

We have a bed, but no bedding.

Wen Li redeemed bedding from the system shop without hesitation.

Her system is quite generous; one point can be redeemed for ten bedding items, including pillows, quilts, mattresses, and more.

Moreover, the bedding they received was very contemporary, with a beast-themed style that didn't seem out of place at all.

After tidying everything up, Wen Li returned to the hall and took out the wooden table and chairs that Bai Yanci had made that day.

After adding some simple furniture, the once empty cave felt more lively.

Wen Li returned to her room and put up a curtain to block the doorway, increasing her privacy.

Not only that, but they also added curtains to the other two rooms.

After finishing all that, it didn't take long before the aroma wafted in from outside. Wen Li went out to check, and found several beastmen guarding the cave entrance.

"Is it done?" Zhu Yan asked softly when he saw her come out.

"Okay, everything's ready. Let's go in and take a look."

When Wen Li was busy, she told several people to stay outside and not to go in, so as not to disturb her work.

The group of people were obedient and stayed outside.

Now that Wen Li had agreed to let them in, the group was very curious and took turns going into the cave to take a look.

After reading it, I came out in astonishment.

Why do I feel like my current living conditions are better than the ones I used to live in...?
After a simple dinner, the group went to bed early.

Wen Li lay on the bed. Although the bed was very comfortable, she still couldn't get used to the new environment.

In a single day, their home was gone.

Fortunately, they were lucky and found a new home.

However, we're officially living together now, right?

In a daze, Wen Li fell asleep.

Wen Li had prepared all the ingredients and tools needed for the next few days in advance and placed them in the hall.

When I woke up the next day, breakfast was already prepared.

The beastmen went their separate ways, actively seeking out work to do.

Many pieces of furniture that are not in the house, such as buckets and stoves, need to be made again.

They went out early in the morning, some cutting down trees, others digging soil.

After getting up, Wen Li had a simple breakfast and didn't go out. Instead, she took a chair outside and started studying how to make clothes.

She just learned sewing skills yesterday and can't wait to try them out.

However... she didn't know their sizes.

Xin Yuan is the one staying at home today, and he's dealing with the stones and snow piles in front of his house.

"Xin Yuan!"

Wen Li waved to him.

After hearing the noise, Xin Yuan turned to look at her and saw her beckoning with her finger before quickly walking over.

"what happened?"

Wen Li took out a measuring ruler from her spatial storage, which was a gift after she acquired sewing skills. She couldn't wait to swing it around in her hand.

Xin Yuan stopped in front of her.

Wen Li smiled and said, "Don't move, okay?"

Xin Yuan nodded, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Open your hand slightly."

Wen Li stood in front of Xin Yuan and pulled out the measuring tape.

Making a top requires measuring shoulder width, chest circumference, and other areas.

Wen Li decided to start by measuring the bust size, so she reached out and hugged Xin Yuan.

Xin Yuan was dumbfounded.

His body stiffened, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, "Wen Li...?"

Wen Li, with her arms around Xin Yuan, just reaching for the measuring tape, looked up when she heard a voice from above and asked, "Hmm?"

"You...you are..." Xin Yuan stammered, his eyes darting around.

"I'm not trying to take advantage of you, I'm just taking your bust measurement so I can make you some clothes," Wen Li said with a smile.

Wen Li was unaware of the destructive power of her face. Her eyebrows curved, and her eyes shone brightly with anticipation.

The moment Xin Yuan's eyes met hers, his throat bobbed involuntarily. He looked away and nodded stiffly.

"it is good."

Even so, his heart was still pounding uncontrollably in his chest, faster and faster.

"Wen Li... are you ready?"

Xin Yuan felt that every second was like an eternity, never imagining that each second would pass so slowly.

"Almost there, it'll be done very soon." Wen Li said hurriedly.

This was her first time measuring someone's bust size. Although she had the relevant knowledge in her mind, she was still not very skilled when it came to actually doing it.

After some effort, we finally obtained the specific values.

Wen Li quickly noted it down, then released Xin Yuan. "All done."

Xin Yuan quickly took a step back.

His ears turned red, almost dripping blood, which his tanned skin couldn't hide.

"Then I'll be going now." Xin Yuan was eager to escape.

"Hey, wait a minute." Wen Li reached out and grabbed him. "It's not done yet, there are still other measurements to take."

Xin Yuan stopped in his tracks, a hint of resistance flashing across his face.

Wen Li keenly noticed this and frowned. "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

"Do not……"

He gets very nervous when he gets too close to her, and he always feels like his heart is about to jump out of his chest.

Wen Li squinted as she approached Xin Yuan, who instinctively took a step back.

In Wen Li's eyes, his reaction was blatant resistance and rejection!
A hint of displeasure welled up in Wen Li's heart. "Try backing down another step?"

The threatening words were uttered, and Xin Yuan indeed stopped moving.

Wen Li took a few steps forward and approached him, asking, "What are you avoiding? Don't you like me being near you? Do you hate me?"

Why do I feel like they've become more distant after I became more beautiful?

Wen Li felt utterly defeated.

She had lost all interest in taking measurements and making clothes. Wen Li shook the measuring tape in her hand forcefully, turned around and left in a huff.

Not doing it anymore.

What the hell!

Wen Li turned around and went back to her room, lying on the bed sulking.

She didn't like Xin Yuan's resistance to her; she always felt that he disliked her.

Xin Yuan stared blankly as her figure disappeared, frozen in place.

He vaguely sensed that Wen Li was angry; he clearly saw the way she frowned when she left.

After hesitating for a moment, Xin Yuan walked towards the cave and soon stopped in front of Wen Li's curtain.

"Wen Li," Xin Yuan said softly.

Wen Li, who was lying on the bed like a corpse, twitched her ears, thinking she had misheard; Xin Yuan's voice was a little soft.

Xin Yuan waited for a while, and seeing that she still didn't respond, he called out again, "Wen Li!"

Wen Li finally heard it.

Her voice was muffled, "What?"

"May I come in?" Xin Yuan asked politely.

"No." Wen Li refused decisively.

“…Okay.” Xin Yuan’s voice sounded dejected.

"Just say what you need to say at the door," Wen Li said loudly.

A thin curtain separated the two.

Xin Yuan stood there, but couldn't say a word; his throat felt like it was blocked.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again, letting out a silent sigh.

Where should I begin? How should I explain it?
Xin Yuan had no idea how long he had been agonizing over this; for him, time seemed to pass very quickly.

However, Wen Li inside didn't hear his reply for a long time, and her patience gradually wore thin. Could it be that he had already left?

Wen Li couldn't help but think about it.

She wouldn't let him in, so he left without saying a word?

This Xin Yuan!

Wen Li suddenly felt angry and jumped up from the bed.

She strode to the door, lifted the curtain, and bumped into Xin Yuan, who stood there like a statue.

The two looked at each other, Wen Li was a little confused.

What?! He didn't leave? Is he just standing at her door like a gatekeeper?

"Wen Li." Xin Yuan blinked. "Why did you suddenly come out?"

Wen Li said awkwardly, "Let's see if you're dead yet."

"No," Xin Yuan answered honestly.

"..."

Wen Li laughed in exasperation.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Wen Li looked up at him.

She crossed her arms, her porcelain-white cheeks slightly flushed, her cheeks puffed out in anger, looking indignant.

This expression on her face at that moment added a touch of charming beauty.

Xin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Wen Li still didn't get a chance to speak, so she couldn't help but kick him. "Say something!"

Xin Yuan snapped out of his daze and awkwardly ruffled his brown curly hair.

"I didn't mean to just now," Xin Yuan quickly explained.

"Not on purpose? Then what are you? Then why are you hiding?" Wen Li blurted out a series of questions.

“…I’m just not used to it,” Xin Yuan said awkwardly.

Hearing his explanation only made Wen Li angrier.

"You're not used to it, but you'll be used to it if it's An Yuan, right?"

Wen Li broke down.

Break the defense.

During this period, she encountered setbacks one after another, and her relationships with several people did not progress.

Every initiative I take results in estrangement.

Wen Li didn't understand why having this face now had the opposite effect.

I am heartbroken, truly heartbroken.

Wen Li turned away, not wanting to say anything more to Xin Yuan; she felt she needed to calm down.

However, as soon as she took a step, Xin Yuan grabbed her wrist.

With a gentle tug, Wen Li fell into his arms.

Xin Yuan's scent enveloped Wen Li, overwhelming her, and Wen Li looked up in surprise.

From her angle, all she could see was the boy's taut jawline and his slightly bobbing Adam's apple.

"What are you doing?" Wen Li shouted, her voice sharp with anger.

“This has nothing to do with An Yuan,” Xin Yuan explained in a low voice. “It’s just that I feel very nervous when you’re near me.”

The low, slightly aggrieved words were like a needle, gently piercing Wen Li's heart.

She gasped for breath and tried to break free of Xin Yuan's grip on her hand.

Xin Yuan thought she was going to leave again, so he subconsciously gripped her hand tighter.

"Let me go," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan released her easily, and Wen Li turned around to face Xin Yuan.

Her clear, bright eyes met Xin Yuan's clear, amber eyes. "Say it again!"

"say what?"

"What you just said!"

Wen Li stared intently at Xin Yuan, who felt a familiar burning sensation on his face and instinctively lowered his eyes.

To her surprise, the next second her face was cupped in Wen Li's soft, hot hands.

“Look at me and say it again.”

Wen Li wanted to see if he was telling the truth or just fooling her.

Xin Yuan's eyelashes fluttered, and he looked up, gazing intently at her.

I said... I'm nervous.

Why are you nervous?

"do not know."

His shy, blushing appearance suddenly improved Wen Li's mood considerably.

She tiptoed closer to Xin Yuan, "Is it because of this face?"

Xin Yuan pursed his lips. "Mm."

Wen Li laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"You don't have to worry about this."

After saying that, Wen Li grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her room.

"I forgive you, so let's continue."

She pointed to her bed, gesturing for Xin Yuan to sit down.

Xin Yuan didn't ask any further questions. After sitting down, he asked, "What do I need to do?"

Wen Li said, "Hmm... just stay still like this."

We've already measured the chest circumference; now we can measure the shoulder width.

Thinking this, Wen Li took out her measuring tape again.

After Xin Yuan sat down, it was convenient for her to measure his shoulder width. She placed the measuring tape against Xin Yuan's broad shoulders.

He lowered his eyes and carefully examined the values.

Her earnest expression was carefully etched by the light and shadow, her red lips slightly pursed. Xin Yuan looked up, taking in the whole scene.

The two were very close, and her faint fragrance gradually spread from her body.

As Xin Yuan smelled it, an unprecedented impulse rose within him.

Driven by impulse, he reached out and put his arm around her waist.

Xin Yuan's hand was heavy, with an unprecedented weight, pressing against her lower back. Wen Li paused, her hand moving in a daze, and asked in confusion, "Xin Yuan?"

Xin Yuan tentatively pressed his face gently against her waist and said in a muffled voice, "...Wen Li."

Her not refusing made Xin Yuan quite happy.

Wen Li released the measuring tape with her right hand, gently placed her palm on Xin Yuan's head, and rubbed it.

"what happened?"

Xin Yuan felt her touch and whispered, "...It's nothing."

Wen Li did not press the matter further.

The two were silent for a moment.

Her hands were constantly stroking Xin Yuan's fluffy curly hair; it felt wonderful.

"Have you hugged enough?"

"No."

After another brief silence, Wen Li finally remembered something!

Xin Yuan hasn't received his first kiss gift yet!

This is a golden opportunity!
"Xin Yuan, lift your head," Wen Li said.

Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan looked up blankly, his amber pupils seemingly veiled in mist, filled with confusion and doubt.

Wen Li bent down and reminded her, "Hey, do you remember the last time you kissed me?"

Xin Yuan's eyelashes trembled violently, his dazed gaze dissipated, and a sense of helplessness appeared.

"sorry."

He remembered that Wen Li was referring to the time she kissed An Yuan in front of him.

Xin Yuan didn't expect Wen Li to bring it up again.

Wen Li cupped his delicate face in her slender white fingers; this beautiful face seemed to exist only in comics.

"How about we reciprocate?"

"……what?"

"What I mean is, give me a kiss too."

Xin Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.

The next second, Wen Li bit Xin Yuan's delicate and plump lips.

No system notification appeared.

However, Bai Yanci's voice came from outside:
"Wen Li?"
