Chapter 15: Heartwarming Chen Rong

“Chang Xia, you can eat bird eggs like this?” Chen Rong was shocked.

Seeing the look of shock on Chen Rong’s handsome face, Chang Xia chuckled and waved her wet, muddy hand. “It’s delicious. You’ll know when you… try it. I used to be unaccustomed to tribal barbecue and stew. Roast bird eggs are my only comfort and daily pleasure.”

This body was too weak.

She laid in a beast lair all year round and was sick in bed.

Occasionally, when she woke up, she would be carried out of the beast lair by Nan Feng to bask in the sun.

At that time, she could only drink some fruit powder paste, let alone roast meat and stewed meat. Before she became an adult, Chang Xia ate mostly medicinal soup and fruit powder paste. Even if she had a thousand thoughts, due to her disappointing body, she could only be raised by the tribe like trash.

Roasted bird eggs were considered her only rebellion.

She had secretly hidden the eggs. When the chief and the others weren’t looking, she buried them in the stove.

“Does the clan chief know?” Chen Rong asked.

With how much they valued Chang Xia, they would probably not allow Chang Xia to come into contact with such an unknown thing. Otherwise, why would Chang Xia only have the chance to leave the tribe after she became an adult? Beast cubs were the heart and soul of the beast race. Any cub was the life of the beast race.

Not to mention someone as frail as Chang Xia.

They would also be targeted by all the beasts, and the tribe would be afraid that they would die prematurely.

“What do you think?” Chang Xia rolled her eyes playfully at Chen Rong. If he knew that she was eating indiscriminately, what would happen?

In a way, Root nagged more than the Mu Qin and Nan Feng.

Outside the beast lair, the sky was filled with the glow of sunset. The red glow of the sunset was dazzling, illuminating the entire Heluo Tribe.

“Chang Xia, are you worried about the rainy season coming?” Chen Rong asked solemnly.

He had left Twilight Forest for many years, but… the impression that the rainy season gave him was not inferior to the terrifying cold season.

During the rainy season, the area covered by the river in the forest soared.

Floods, mudslides, landslides, and other natural disasters followed the rainy season.

Along with the natural disasters came all kinds of ferocious beasts.

“The rainy season. Is it terrible?” Chang Xia hesitated.

Before she reached adulthood, she was confined to a corner of the Heluo tribe.

She knew about the rainy season from the mouths of her clansmen. Chang Xia had yet to experience it personally.

“It’s scary.” Chen Rong’s expression was serious as he said, “The land revives in the warm season, and all things are full of life. When the rainy season comes, the forests will be flooded, and the beasts will spend less time out hunting.”

In fact, it was not easy for the beasts to reproduce.

Apart from the beasts themselves, there were more factors caused by the environment.

The harsh living environment constantly squeezed the living space of the beasts. Beast children did not have much survival ability. Once they were lost in the wilderness, they rarely had a chance to survive.

Chang Xia had survived to adulthood thanks to her will and the meticulous upbringing of the shaman and the Heluo tribe.

“Well … the shaman and the chief have never spoken of these,” Chang Xia murmured.

It was no wonder that Root was so excited when she took out the fishballs to cook. He did not ask much about the house cave. Although the rainy season was rich in food and there were limited natural disasters, it was not any less dangerous than the cold winter.

“Most likely they don’t want you to worry,” Chen Rong assured her.

In private, in addition to the tribe leader, several clansmen had looked for Chen Rong in the name of sparring to get to know him better. In fact, they had instructed Chen Rong to take good care of Chang Xia.

Even Nan Feng.

Yesterday, the two of them had fought at White Lake early in the morning.

The bruise on Chen Rong’s stomach was left by Nan Feng.

However, neither Chen Rong nor the tribe mentioned these things.

“We need to build the house cave as soon as possible,” Chang Xia said seriously.

Looking at Chang Xia’s worried expression, Chen Rong regretted mentioning the rainy season.

“Don’t worry. You’ve lived in the tribe for many years and haven’t heard anyone say anything bad that happened during the rainy season. How could anything suddenly happen? I was just saying…” Chen Rong comforted her.

The Heluo Tribe was a famous powerful tribe in the Twilight Forest.

It would never be defeated by the rainy season.

“I understand.” Chang Xia waved her hand, no longer dwelling on the dangers of the rainy season.

Building house caves, identifying plants, and collecting supplies.

Those were the important things.

The rest was as Chen Rong had said. The Heluo tribe had spent thousands of years in the Twilight Forest. Naturally, they had a way to deal with the rainy season.

“Here, try some—”

Chen Rong smiled and handed the roast meat to Chang Xia.

He could tell that Chang Xia liked to eat, especially good food.

This time, Chen Rong added the ginger, onion, and garlic that Chang Xia had mentioned. The barbecue was even better than before. He was sure that Chang Xia would like it.

“This tastes amazing!” Chang Xia gathered her thoughts and took a bite of the roast meat.

Without another word, she gave Chen Rong a thumbs up and praised him.

Chen Rong was too smart. He knew how to draw inferences from everything. Fortunately, she didn’t have much ambition, or she would have died of frustration.

“Do you like it? Eat more if you like it. You must be tired after working all day! I’ll boil some hot water. After dinner, you can take a bath before you sleep.” Chen Rong scooped another bowl of soup for Chang Xia, washed the clean stone pot beside him and boiled hot water. He remembered what they had said. Chang Xia was not well.

Even in the warm season, she had to wipe herself with hot water.

It was normal for the beasts to not bathe for half a month.

However, the Heluo tribe had Chang Xia, a weirdo. Even in the cold season, she would wipe herself and shower the next day. Not to mention the warm season.

Chen Rong was not particular. The beast lair was close to the White Lake, so he could go to the White Lake to take a bath at any time. Chang Xia could not. There was a large wooden bucket in the innermost corner of the beast lair. That wooden bucket was the bathtub that Chang Xia used to bathe in.

It could be said that the bathtub was one of the few large pieces of furniture belonging to Chang Xia.

“Who told you about this?” Chang Xia was slightly embarrassed, and her face flushed faintly.

It wasn’t that she was squeamish.

Her love for bathing was one of the few hobbies she had kept in the post-apocalyptic world.

It had become a habit over the years.

Before she became an adult, she was watched over by the Patriarch and Nan Feng.

Bathing became the only thing Chang Xia could enjoy.

“I saw that… barrel.” Chen-Rong pursed his lips and pointed to the tub in the corner. He didn’t expose their existence. After all, there was no need to talk about such things.

Chang Xia blushed and explained, “Taking a shower frequently is good for your physical and mental health. You should also wash your mouth, hands, and face diligently…”

“I will go to White Lake after the meal,” Chen Rong replied.

Like Chang Xia, Chen Rong was a little obsessed with cleanliness.

Except it was not very obvious.

For now, nothing has been discovered by Chang Xia.

“That’s a good habit to keep from now on.” Chang Xia smiled. “We’re going to build a bathhouse and a toilet in our house cave.”

At the mention of the toilet, Chang Xia revealed a complicated expression.

She had fought the tribe for half a year and made her people used to going to the toilet. Instead, she dug holes wherever she went.

For that matter, she was often teased by the shaman and her people.

“Whatever you say,” Chen-Rong repeated the three words automatically.

The longer he knew Chang Xia, the more he realized that she was different from the other beasts. If it were anyone else, they might be curious and ask.

But Chen Rong would not.

This happened to be Chang Xia’s favorite place.

After the meal, the two of them didn’t skip anything else. Chang Xia took a bath in the beast lair while Chen Rong turned around and went to White Lake. When he returned, Chang Xia laid out the vine curtain and animal skin and prepared to sleep.

These two days were the busiest Chang Xia had ever been.

Even though her body had gradually adapted, her mind still could not keep up.

After a hot bath, she felt drowsy.

When Chen Rong stepped into the beast lair, Chang Xia muttered a greeting and fell asleep.

“Good night!” Chen Rong mimicked Chang Xia and said good night.

Then, he lay on the vine curtain beside him. Her shallow breathing made Chen Rong, who had lost sleep for a long time, feel at ease. Someone had once told Chen Rong that home was where one felt at ease.

He finally had a home of his own.

How wonderful!
