"Well, then I'll go to rest with Nans. You can arrange your winter. I don't know much about it," Si Lu nodded and said.
Nans walked to Si Lu's side and helped her into the cave.
The remaining few people began discussing tomorrow's hunting again.
Si Lu hooked her arms around Nans's neck and looked at the shy teen with a smile.
Even though they were all partners, every time Nans looked at her, he had that shy, pure, white little face, which made him especially well-behaved.
Sure enough, what a pure little boy.
"Does Nance want a little rabbit?" Si Lu asked gently, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Little rabbit? Does Lulu like rabbits very much? Or do you want to eat rabbit meat? Do you want me to hunt some for you tomorrow?" Nans looked at her doubtfully.
He knew Si Lu liked delicious food and all kinds of delicacies, so if she wanted rabbit meat, he would catch it for her. It would be difficult to catch rabbits in this season, but not impossible. If it got colder, it would be harder. The little female's wishes should naturally be met.
Si Lu blinked helplessly. She hadn't meant she wanted to eat the rabbit—she meant the rabbit itself. Her mouth twitched. Are they really this greedy? Well, she admitted she was a foodie, but the rabbit was so cute—how could she eat it?
"What a fool," Si Lu rolled her eyes at Nans.
He looked confused. He didn't understand why she said he was stupid. Tilting his head, he stared at her, wondering if she disliked him.
He had already walked into the cave and helped her onto the grass pile covered with animal skin.
"Nance, I mean, do you want a little rabbit cub? I want to give birth to a nest of rabbits for you. Rabbits are so cute, how can we eat them?"
"Besides, your ears are pink. What color will our cub be? Will it inherit your pink, or another color? I'm looking forward to it."
"I really want to have a litter of rabbits with you. What? Don't you like it? Or do you want the cubs but not the cubs between us?" Si Lu touched Nans's face with a smile.
Nans's appearance was simply cute and clear-headedly innocent.
"Lulu, what did you say? You want to give me a baby rabbit and a cub? Really? Great! If you like me, of course I like it too."
"Of course I like you and your cubs. I'm just too excited, happy, shocked, and surprised," Nans said incoherently, almost ready to jump for joy.
He had been envious when he saw Cheng Mo and others with cubs, but he knew Si Lu had just recovered her body. It wasn't the right time to give birth for herself. Above all, he loved Si Lu and didn't want to hurt her. This matter would depend on her will.
He was apprehensive, too. He couldn't speak as fluently as Bai Di, wasn't as gentle as Cheng Mo, and wasn't as strong as Hei Yao. He felt a little useless.
All he wanted was to stay by her side. That alone made him satisfied. Now, hearing her words, he was overjoyed—finally, he was aligned with her heart.
"Look at your excited face! Since I said it, I must want to give birth to little rabbits for you. They'll be obedient, well-behaved, and as beautiful and cute as you." Si Lu touched Nans's long pink hair with love.
His hair, pale pink and silky, made him look extraordinary. Combined with his docile personality, Si Lu adored him even more.
"Well, no matter what the cubs look like, they are ours. I'll take good care of them and make sure they grow up safely," Nans said with determination.
"I believe you can do it," Si Lu nodded and leaned in to hook Nans's neck, kissing him softly.
Nans was stunned at first, but joy quickly spread over him. He laid Si Lu down gently on the haystack covered with animal skin and pressed close.
His kiss was careful and gentle, and Si Lu liked it very much.
Nans's slightly cool hand followed her slender waist. Seeing her white skin, he couldn't control himself anymore, kissing harder.
Soon, the cave was filled with a seductive sound. Those sitting by the fire outside darkened their faces. Few of them hadn't shown emotions—after all, in their world, this was normal.
Lan Po and Jin Yang were slightly surprised but seemed to confirm their expectations. In general, orcs sleep with all their partners. They didn't expect Si Lu to take turns resting with one partner at a time. This made her feel extraordinary and unique.
They were lucky to be her partners. Just thinking about it made them smile slightly.
The next day arrived in a blink.
When Si Lu woke up, Nans was beside her, gazing at her with gentle eyes, as if he could stare forever.
All of them woke early.
Si Lu was now pregnant with a baby snake and a baby rabbit, after secretly taking the birth elixir.
"Do I look good? Don't you get tired of staring at me all the time?" she asked, smiling at Nans.
"Lulu, you are the most beautiful. I can never get tired of watching you, even until I close my eyes," Nans said affectionately, speaking each word carefully.
Si Lu smiled and stretched. Nans placed a hand on her back, steadying her. His carefulness made her laugh and cry.
She realized every partner was like this—always attentive to her, worried she might get hurt. She just had to be herself and let them be happy.
"Lulu, Cheng Mo has gone hunting. Jinyang and Lan Po have also gone hunting. One group is in the forest, another by the seaside," Nans said.
"Today, Bai Di, you, and the cubs will stay at home. Bai Di will cook for you, and I'll dress you so you can eat after washing up."
Nans picked up the clothes and helped Si Lu put them on, with elegant and gentle movements.
Si Lu laughed at his seriousness. "Relax. Isn't it just putting on a dress? Why so serious?"
"I just want to do everything for you properly, to your satisfaction," Nans said, flustered.
Si Lu shook her head. "I know, Nans. You're always serious, but you need to relax or you'll tire yourself out."
"I thought you were laughing at me. I didn't know you liked me this way," Nans said, lowering his eyes slightly, relieved she wasn't upset.
"What a fool. How could I not like you? You are all my partners. Don't reject yourself so quickly in the future," Si Lu said, pretending to pout angrily.
Nans quickly responded, "I won't do it again. I'll be confident, just like you told me."
"Good. You'll have to be a father one day. If you're unconfident, how will the cubs respect you?" Si Lu said with mock anger.
"I promise. I'll help them grow obedient and not let them misbehave!" Nans laughed, happy at how playful and funny she was.
The little female must have deliberately said this to make him happy. He would slowly improve, never embarrass her, and try his best to teach the cubs, living up to her expectations.
