24: Chapter 24 Teasing Him

Bai Wanwan squinted her eyes, constantly staring at him.

After pausing by the Stone Bed, Xin Feng lifted the beast skin and lay down next to her.

He got up in the middle of the night—was he trying to sneak into her bed?

Bai Wanwan was stunned, thinking that Xin Feng usually seemed so steady, how could he do something sneaky like this?

Just as she was hesitating whether to kick him off, Xin Feng reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her into a tight embrace.

She couldn't keep up the pretense anymore. She looked up at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

In the darkness, Xin Feng looked down at her. "Weren't you cold and unable to sleep? I heard you just now. A Male's body is warm; you won't be cold lying in my arms."

Xin Feng had heard her moving constantly and knew she wasn't asleep. He figured she must be unbearably cold, which is why she got up to stuff the door crack.

Bai Wanwan was indeed very cold. The Stone Bed was hard, and even with three layers of beast skin spread out, it was still uncomfortable.

She slept curled up, but her hands and feet were still ice cold. Although she had several layers of beast skin covering her, the weight felt oppressive.

She intensely missed her own little nest, where she could snuggle under a light down comforter and sleep soundly during winter.

Now, she had to starve and freeze in a primitive society.

The more she thought about it, the less she could sleep...

The weather was already this cold; in a while, when the Snow Season arrived and she had to bear The Cubs, how would she manage?

Bai Wanwan's sudden silence made Xin Feng ask worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Bai Wanwan snapped back to reality and felt the fiery warmth of his embrace. It was incredibly comfortable.

Her curled-up hands and feet unconsciously relaxed.

"Comfortable, so warm."

She hadn't been sleepy just a moment ago, but after snuggling into Xin Feng's arms, drowsiness crept up on her.

"Then let's sleep like this..."

"Mm."

Sleepiness came too quickly; Bai Wanwan could barely keep her eyes open.

She simply nestled into his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Her breathing was light but steady.

Xin Feng didn't move. Being this close to a Female for the first time, his heart gradually became restless.

It turned out the Little Female was so small, so soft...

He didn't feel cold at all; in fact, he was a little hot.

He instinctively moved to the side, wanting to lift the beast skin to get some air.

But as soon as he shifted, the Little Female snuggled closer again.

She used her hands and feet to press against him.

"Wan Wan..."

He wanted to remind the Little Female not to press so tightly, but Bai Wanwan was already sound asleep, showing no reaction.

She was just subconsciously hugging the warm source that made her comfortable.

Xin Feng felt unbearably uncomfortable for the first time, almost as if he were entering his rutting season.

He endured it again and again, hoping to move away once Wan Wan was asleep.

But every time, Bai Wanwan would press back against him.

He sighed resignedly, forcibly suppressing the rising heat within him.

The Female's warm breath brushed against his neck, tickling him right to his heart.

In the darkness, he lowered his gaze, looking at her sleeping profile in his arms. A scorching tide of emotion churned in his eyes...

He raised his hand and couldn't resist stroking her face, which was smaller than his palm.

In that moment, he felt deeply fortunate that the Little Female had chosen him back then, and not some other Male.

Bai Wanwan had no idea how much the Male beside her was suffering; she, on the other hand, slept exceptionally soundly.

In her dream, she chased a large oven. She finally caught up, contentedly hugging the warm, big oven, sleeping relaxed and comfortable the entire night.

When she finally woke up, she stretched her limbs and realized something was wrong.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing that met her gaze was half of Xin Feng's incomparably handsome face.

And she was tightly hugging the Male with both her hands and feet.

She wasn't embarrassed at all; she stared at the Male in front of her.

Seeing the blush on the Male's ear tips, she suddenly felt a strong urge to tease him.

She didn't speak, just kept staring at him with her beautiful eyes.

When he was asleep, Xin Feng could secretly watch her. Now that the Little Female was awake, not speaking or moving, just staring at him like that...

Xin Feng's heartbeat became somewhat erratic. Should he get up, or should he stay? He couldn't decide.

His mind was in chaos, but his expression didn't betray much; he pretended to be calm.

"Wan Wan, do you want to get up?"

Bai Wanwan hugged his arm, blinked, and snuggled closer to him. "No, it's too cold outside."

At such close range, no matter how much Xin Feng tried to conceal it, the slight trembling of his eyelashes completely revealed his inner turmoil.

Bai Wanwan finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing, "Puchi!"

With her laugh, Xin Feng's slightly stiff body relaxed a bit. He asked somewhat helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at how silly you look!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, smoothed down a stray lock of his hair, and asked, "I remember you usually wake up quite early. Why are you still lying down today?"

Xin Feng turned his head, looking at her smiling eyes. He could sense she was deliberately teasing him.

Looking into the Little Female's eyes, he didn't evade her gaze and spoke his true thoughts.

"I was afraid you'd wake up from the cold. You'd sleep a bit more comfortably with me next to you."

She blinked her big eyes, staring at Xin Feng's face. "Caring about me this much? Do you really want to be my Beast Husband?"

Xin Feng also didn't look away from her gaze. Staring into her beautiful eyes, he softly replied, "Mm."

Bai Wanwan had only intended to tease him, but she didn't expect him to answer so directly.

His straightforwardness made Bai Wanwan very happy. She wrapped her arms around his waist and burrowed into his embrace again. "Then wait until I give birth to this litter of Cubs, and I'll give you another litter, okay?"

Her heart felt entwined by something, warm and achingly full.

He raised his hand and held her tightly in his arms. "Okay."

In that moment, Xin Feng forgot everything else, only wanting to stay tangled up with the Little Female on the warm Stone Bed.

"Ouch..."

Bai Wanwan suddenly cried out. Xin Feng immediately let go and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Am I holding you too tight?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head, touching her stomach. "It's the little Cubs kicking me!"

For the first ten days, her belly was flat with almost no reaction.

It was only in the last few days that her belly started slowly swelling up like a balloon, and The Cubs would occasionally kick her.

She wasn't sure if it was because they were Beast People, but she felt The Cubs inside her were quite strong.

"Right, you're pregnant with The Cubs, you can't go hungry. I'll go start a fire and roast some meat for you right now."

They had slept too late today; it was probably almost noon. Bai Wanwan was indeed very hungry, so she didn't stop his plan to roast meat.

Xin Feng quickly put on his beast skin. Taking good care of his Female was something ingrained in the bones of them Male Beast People.

Bai Wanwan didn't move. It was too cold; she wanted to stay wrapped in the beast skin for a while longer.

Since she wasn't sleeping, she simply kept her eyes open and watched Xin Feng busy himself.

He very deftly used flint to ignite the leaves, which then lit the dry branches.

His legs and feet seemed to have recovered a bit more compared to yesterday.

After getting the water to boil, Xin Feng walked back to the Stone Bed. "If you still want to sleep, close your eyes and rest a bit longer. I'll call you when the meat is roasted."

Bai Wanwan yawned and stretched her hands out from under the covers. Her slender, fair arms radiated a pearlescent luster.

Xin Feng's eyes darkened, and the desire he had suppressed all night surged up again...
