115: Chapter 115 A Difficult Choice

Mu Feng, hiding at the doorway, hurriedly bent down to pick up something.

Shi Hua, inside the room, saw him, and her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

Bai Wanwan teased, as if it weren't enough, "Since you're already here, why don't you come in?"

Mu Feng, holding something in a panic, let out an "Oh" and walked in.

Bai Wanwan cast a teasing gaze back and forth between the two, until both of them couldn't lift their heads.

"Sister, please don't stare at us like that."

"Oh, oh..."

Fine, since the parties involved didn't want to be watched, she couldn't enjoy the gossip.

She tactfully stood up, "Then you two should talk things through; I'll head back now."

Leaving behind a blushing Shi Hua and a nervous Mu Feng, Bai Wanwan walked home leisurely, humming a tune.

By the time she reached her own doorway, it was almost dark.

She set aside her casual demeanor and leaned over to peek into the Stone House.

It turned out that both Males were sitting there quietly.

"You haven't eaten?"

Seeing that there was still plenty of food in the pot in front of them, Bai Wanwan walked straight in.

Xin Feng smiled at her gently, "We were waiting for you to come back."

Bai Wanwan felt a bit guilty and didn't want to mention that she had already eaten, so she quickly grabbed a bowl and chopsticks.

"I ended up chatting with Shi Hua a bit longer; eat, eat quickly."

"We aren't hungry; we already ate earlier."

Bai Wanwan knew they only ate these things to keep her happy, as the main food for Beast Males was raw meat.

She glanced at Zhu Xiu beside her; his face was submerged in shadow, and the flickering firelight added a mysterious beauty to him.

She smiled and picked up a piece of beef, placing it in his bowl, "Eat up."

She then placed a piece in Xin Feng's bowl as well.

Watching them pick up their chopsticks, she was about to lower her head to eat when she noticed they had both used their chopsticks to pick up food and bring it to her.

Realizing each other's actions, Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng both paused.

Zhu Xiu raised his eyes to look at Xin Feng, while Xin Feng smiled faintly and placed the meat into Bai Wanwan's bowl.

"Wan Wan, eat more."

Xin Feng seemed completely devoid of sharp edges, quietly and gently accommodating everything.

"Alright, alright."

Bai Wanwan said, while using her chopsticks to take the food Zhu Xiu had offered and placing it in her bowl.

"Eat, eat, you two should hurry and eat as well."

Bai Wanwan buried her head and ate happily, but she knew in her heart that something must have happened today.

She wanted to probe Xin Feng for information later and winked at him a few times.

"I'm done eating; I'm going in to check on The Cubs."

Bai Wanwan walked into the inner Stone House; the few Cubs had already fallen into a deep sleep after eating the meat strips, their snoring coming in snorts and their little bellies rising and falling.

She couldn't help but tickle one and then the other.

After playing with the little Cubs for a while, she heard footsteps behind her.

Bai Wanwan turned around and saw Xin Feng walking in.

She quickly waved to him, "Come here, come here."

Xin Feng took her waving hand and sat down on the sofa beside her, "What do you want to ask?"

Bai Wanwan immediately pursed her lips, "Is it that obvious?"

Xin Feng laughed in a low voice, "It's not very obvious, but Zhu Xiu and I probably figured it out."

Bai Wanwan pouted and tapped his arm, "That's because the two of you were acting so strange, I didn't feel comfortable asking what happened."

"Nothing happened between him and me; it's just that we are worried about the difficulties we will face in the future and the safety of you and The Cubs."

It wasn't that they were intentionally hiding the truth from Wan Wan, but saying it out loud felt like complaining.

"Hmph, you aren't telling the truth, are you?"

Xin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Then what do you want to hear?"

Bai Wanwan tilted her head and glanced outside, "I'm sleeping with you tonight."

If asking directly didn't work, she had plenty of ways to get it out of him in bed, hehe...

"What are you two doing?"

Zhu Xiu's voice came from the doorway.

Bai Wanwan immediately sat up straight, stood up from the sofa, and walked over to him.

Walking up to him, she wrapped her arms around his waist, looked up, and asked, "Can I sleep on your Stone Bed tonight?"

She was deliberately using a strategy of advancing to retreat; if Zhu Xiu didn't want to have Cubs with her for the time being, he probably wouldn't sleep in the same room as her.

Then she would be able to do this and that, you know, to dig the truth out of Xin Feng.

But what she didn't know was that when she was winking at Xin Feng, Zhu Xiu had seen it all.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was swept up into Zhu Xiu's arms.

"Huh?"

"Weren't you going to my room?"

Zhu Xiu carried her with long strides toward another Stone House, and she didn't even have a chance to exchange a glance with Xin Feng.

Her cleverness backfired; she was carried directly to the Stone Bed by Zhu Xiu.

"Sit and wait for me; I'm going to fetch water."

He wasn't as attentive as Xin Feng, but he could learn.

He fetched the water for her himself, and following what Xin Feng usually did, he slowly wrung out the linen cloth to wipe her face.

Bai Wanwan was being cared for so earnestly and carefully that she felt quite flattered.

If the Male in front of her were Xin Feng, she would have started teasing him immediately.

But since it was Zhu Xiu, she didn't dare to overstep.

"Does this feel uncomfortable?"

He even asked her; Bai Wanwan snapped out of her daze and took the linen cloth he had been using to wipe her face.

"No, I can do it myself."

Who would have thought that Zhu Xiu would hold onto it so tightly? She pulled a few times but couldn't get it, so she had to look up at him.

Zhu Xiu was facing her with his back to the light; she could only see those eyes, faintly glowing with red light, staring fixedly at her.

"Xin Feng can do it, and I can too."

Bai Wanwan was speechless; how had this man become so childish that he even wanted to compete over this?

"Alright, alright, you can do it, you can do it."

She let go and leaned her face forward, letting him wipe it for her.

Zhu Xiu's movements were very light, slowly wiping the dust off her face.

"That's enough; take care of your own personal hygiene."

Bai Wanwan rushed to the corner, washed herself clean, then took off her beast skin and rolled into the quilt.

She watched Zhu Xiu leave with the washbasin, and he didn't come back for a long time.

She turned over, feeling a bit sleepy...

In her daze, she sensed a warm body approaching beside her.

She turned over again and hugged the Male, rubbing against his chest.

Zhu Xiu's muscles tensed up, and he instinctively wanted to push her away.

Just as he used a little force, Bai Wanwan noticed and hugged him tighter, "Don't move, I'm so sleepy."

Her warm breath sprayed against his neck, and Zhu Xiu closed his eyes in agitation.

He didn't know if what he was doing was punishing himself or punishing her.

He had never imagined that his mate would have other Beast Husbands besides him.

But Xin Feng's words also made sense.

Wan Wan was not an ordinary Female; she was destined to be coveted by the strong of this continent.

Unless they hid in a small Tribe forever and never came into contact with other powerful Males.

But he needed the energy stone and couldn't stay by Wan Wan's side all the time.

His hand around her waist tightened unconsciously, and he stared down at the Female in his arms, the conflict in his heart growing infinitely.

It was more difficult than any choice he had encountered while growing up.
