The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense for the rest of the journey.
Of course, it was probably only Su Xi who felt awkward. Although the cub said he wasn’t angry, he remained silent for the rest of the journey, his chubby face hanging down, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Xi, watching from outside the screen, felt a little lost. She thought he was still angry, but doubted if it was just her imagination… After all, no white bubbles expressing his feelings were appearing above the little boy’s head on the screen, and he kept glancing at her, signaling her to hurry up and follow.
Seeing the tiny little boy on the screen walking between the camp tents, the path ahead very narrow, his solitary figure conveying a sense of loneliness, Su Xi’s face went blank, and several question marks slowly appeared in her mind…
She didn’t understand what she had done. She was just tugging at the boy’s sleeve to show him the pretty girl.
Even if the boy doesn’t like the girl and doesn’t want to talk about marriage right now, what’s wrong with taking a look? It’s not like he’ll lose anything.
The girl is the one who’s missing a piece of meat, okay?
Could it be shyness? But it doesn’t seem like it; the little one isn’t blushing. Although the little guy is hanging his head and not saying anything, Su Xi could tell his emotions.
Does that mean he thought she was meddling in other people’s business?
Su Xi recalled how once when she came home from school, she heard her mother chatting with her aunt while doing square dancing downstairs in the community. The aunt was bringing up the topic of her and Huo Jingchuan, saying that they were childhood sweethearts and would become in-laws in the future. Su Xi felt very annoyed and upset. She thought her mother was talking nonsense, that it was all just talk and had no future.
When Su Xi put herself in the cub’s shoes, she immediately realized that she had been meddling. “Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you”— this was a principle that her teachers had been teaching her for so many years, didn’t she understand it?
She thought to herself, “Let’s not bring this up again for now, and let things take their course.”
My son is a dragon among men; he’ll have a harem in the future, so why would he be afraid of not having a wife?
Despite this self-reflection, Su Xi still felt a little melancholy.
She now somewhat understood how her mother felt whenever her mother and Aunt Huo enthusiastically discussed her childhood romance with Huo Jingchuan, and she would turn around and throw a sentence at her mother without turning her head: “Don’t try to set me up with anyone, it won’t work out. Your daughter is focused on her studies and will definitely not get married before she’s thirty.”
Just like her now, when there was a faint sense of melancholy about what to do when ‘the child has grown up and become too opinionated.’
Su Xi stopped mentioning the matter, but Lu Huan pursed his lips tightly, his face pale, and he still couldn’t calm down.
Previously, although he had long harbored some inexplicable possessiveness, he never thought much about it, or rather, whenever a thought popped into his head, he would try his best to suppress it and dare not think about it deeply.
After all, the fact that she was there for him, accompanying him on this muddy and difficult road, was already a kind of salvation for him. His only remaining wish was that she would never disappear, never leave, and always stay by his side, and that one day he could help her find a suitable body to inhabit—
These were all just wishful thinking now.
But seeing her so excitedly urging him to look at other women, so eager to play matchmaker for him, he still felt like he had a thorn stuck in his heart, unable to get over it or back down.
He looked down at the boots beneath his feet, thinking:
Is she so happy to push him to someone else because she has only ever felt sympathy and goodwill towards him?
Unlike him, she didn’t want to hide him away. Did she have no possessiveness at all?
If one day she discovers these dark thoughts he has so carefully hidden in his heart, how will she treat him? —Will she leave, or—
Thinking of this, Lu Huan’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he almost couldn’t breathe.
His throat felt dry, and he looked down at his left sleeve, which had been carefully tugged. He made up his mind that no matter what, he must not reveal any of his thoughts until he could help her find her body and ensure that she would never disappear.

The two arrived at the camp with completely opposite ideas.
