I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

Women's minds are inherently difficult to fathom.

In such cases, simply leaving it for a while will allow it to heal naturally.

Moreover, compared to Ruyi's resentful gaze, Chen Yuze was clearly more concerned about the soul-piercing rope that had been inexplicably wasted.

That was an SR-level treasure after all, and it was even obtained for free from the system. Losing it like that is truly painful.

To be fair, it all comes down to Ruyi's fault!

Why did she suddenly hug me?

But as a gentleman, Chen Yuze didn't actually blame Ruyi.

Although she was indeed the culprit

He was the instigator of all this, and Chen Yuze also bears half the responsibility for the disappearance of the flexible rope.

It's his own fault for not controlling his emotions at the time, causing all the blood in his body to rush to one point.

If he had been able to control himself, none of the subsequent problems would have occurred.

"Forget it, what's mine is mine, and what's not mine I can't keep anyway, so I shouldn't dwell on it anymore."

Shaking his head, Chen Yuze finally gave up on the idea of ​​the soul-piercing rope.

"Speaking of which, Ruyi, you've slept for seven whole days straight, you must be very hungry now, right?"

Amused, Chen Yuze looked at Ruyi, who was still sulking with him, and suddenly understood something.

This girl must have been starving for too long. When she woke up, she found there was no food at home, but she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she sat alone in the yard sulking!

Damn, I'm too smart!

Touching his head, Chen Yuze then smugly leaned his face close to Ruyi's:

"These past few days, the monsters who have been cured of their difficult ailments here have brought us a lot of food as a thank you gift. There just happens to be a few bundles of noodles left in the kitchen, how about I make you a bowl of pork rib noodles?"

"You want me to eat noodles?"

Staring at Chen Yuze in surprise, Ruyi thought that this guy really didn't know how to coax people at all.

Now it seems I had thought too badly of him.

However, his methods of coaxing people do need improvement.

Who would use their genitals to make a girl happy?

You could at least say a couple more nice things!

"Why are you looking so surprised? Since we're all living under the same roof, I, Chen Yuze, will never let you go hungry, okay?"

Unfolding the quilt that had been folded into a snake's nest and draping it over Ruyi, Chen Yuze pointed to the three rocking chairs in the yard and said:

"You stay here and don't move. I'll be right back. I guarantee you'll feel better after you finish the noodles I cooked."

After saying that, Chen Yuze walked towards the kitchen.

Inside the cabin, listening to the commotion in the yard, Daji shook her furry ears, then transformed back into human form and dazedly walked into the yard.

"Ruyi, you're awake?"

Rubbing her eyes, she naturally sat down in the rocking chair next to Ruyi. Seeing her sisters whom she hadn't seen for a week, Daji, who had been sleepy, immediately perked up:

"Why did you sleep for so long this time? Your benefactor and I were so worried about you."

"I encountered some trouble while refining the demon spirit pill, but it has been resolved now."

Turning her head to look at Daji, Ruyi first poked her arm with her finger, and only after Daji leaned closer did she softly ask:

"You just said that Chen Yuze is very worried about me?"

"Yes, your benefactor has taken such good care of you these past few days," Daji nodded, saying with a hint of envy.

"As long as there's nothing else to do, he'll stay by your side and observe your condition. During the day, he'll take you to the yard to sunbathe, and at night he'll wrap you up tightly in a blanket. He even took you to the hot springs to bathe you twice."

"Did he really do that to me?"

Although her face was full of disdain for Chen Yuze's behavior, Ruyi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

To be honest, she herself didn't know what she was secretly enjoying.

But upon hearing what Chen Yuze had done to take care of her, Ruyi felt a surge of incoherent joy.

Why would I lie to you? There's no meat to eat anyway.

Seeing Ruyi's smug expression, as if she had gotten a good deal but was still acting innocent, Daji was furious.

"If I were your benefactor, I would definitely pluck all your scales while you, you wicked snake, are sleeping!"

"How dare you!" Ruyi glared at Daji coquettishly. Perhaps because she had been living with Daji for the past few days, Ruyi had also unconsciously learned many of the habits of girls.

For example, that coquettish tone she used to speak was something the aloof and reserved woman would never have uttered.

"Hmph, let's see if I dare!"

As she said this, Daji suddenly clenched her hands into claws and pounced towards Ruyi.

The soul's fingers, through the clothes, roamed over Ruyi's slender waist, back, and even armpits.

In just a short while, silvery laughter filled the courtyard.

Of course, Ruyi wouldn't just sit idly by and let Daji control her.

She blew two breaths into her palm and then launched a counterattack against Daji.

As a result, the two people who were originally on the rocking chair started arguing and ended up on the ground.

Under the moonlight, two figures, drenched in sweat, were violently heaving their voluptuous chests as they stared at each other in silence.

But when they saw each other's disheveled appearance, with grass stuck in their hair, the two women laughed in perfect unison.

After sitting back in the rocking chair and catching her breath, Daji realized that she hadn't seen her benefactor since she woke up.

"Ruyi, where is our benefactor?"

"He just said he was going to make noodles for me, he should still be preparing them right now, right?"

"ha--!?"

Upon hearing Ruyi's words, Daji immediately jumped up from the rocking chair.

At the same time, her large eyes were filled with anger, confusion, jealousy, and envy.

It evoked a variety of emotions, including disbelief.

Ruyi, Ruyi, I treated you like a sister, but you secretly ran away from me?

Are you even human... ugh, are you a snake?

Just as Daji was about to kneel down before Ruyi at lightning speed, begging her to tell her how to get her benefactor's treasure, Chen Yuze walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles.

"The noodles are here!"

He placed the steaming hot pork rib noodles on the stone table, and looking at Daji who had woken up at some point, Chen Yuze couldn't help but reach out and pinch her incredibly soft head:

"There are still quite a few noodles left. Shall we make a bowl for Daji too?"

"..."

She looked at Ruyi, then at her benefactor.

Only then did Daji realize that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

Fortunately, she hasn't said anything yet, so there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

"My benefactor, I'd like some fatty pork ribs, and a fried egg too!"

That's right, in situations like this, all you need to do is pretend nothing happened!

049. It's all the pangolin's fault!

After eating and drinking their fill, Chen Yuze, Daji, and Ruyi lay down on the rocking chairs in the courtyard and looked up at the brilliant night sky.

During the three years he lived alone, Chen Yuze would often stare at the starry sky in the middle of the night to ease his longing for his hometown and his loved ones.

However, this can only provide temporary relief.

Whenever he loses control of his emotions, he goes alone to the big tree in the yard and lets himself cry his heart out, calling out the names of his relatives and friends at the top of his lungs.

It can be said that Chen Yuze's mental state was extremely unstable during that period.

It's not that Chen Yuze is a fragile person.

The reason he developed these symptoms was entirely due to the fact that his normal social needs as a human being could not be met.

As Mr. Gu Long once said, true loneliness is a deep-seated emptiness, a maddening emptiness.

Chen Yuze is not some lone swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of skill, nor is he a pilgrim who climbs the peak alone for the sake of his beliefs.

Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person born and raised in modern times.

In fact, even Chen Yuze didn't know how he survived those three years.

In his view, it was a miracle that he hadn't gone insane because of it.

Fortunately, this lonely life did not last forever.

And what ended it was a little fox covered in blood and a little white snake on the verge of death.

"Daji, Ruyi".

Chen Yuze's gaze never left the night sky, but he could feel that the two of them were right beside him.

"It's so good to have you all here."

After muttering something softly, Chen Yuze got up and went back inside.

Daji and Ruyi, still on their recliners, started picking their ears in perfect unison, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Chen Yuze they knew, though gentle and kind, had never said such sentimental things to them.

"Is the sun going to rise in the west tomorrow?" Ruyi joked with Daji as she stretched.

But when she turned her head, Daji was nowhere to be seen on the rocking chair.

They've already turned into little foxes and followed me into the house, okay?

"Honestly, you should at least let us know if you're leaving!"
