Huo Beiyu hung his head dejectedly, looking utterly pathetic.
“…”
For some reason, she felt like a heartless woman, the kind who abandons her lover after getting what she wants!
She shook her head, forcing herself to harden her heart, and turned to leave.
Huo Beiyu watched her retreating figure for a while, then silently followed.
This time, Yun Zheng didn’t chase him away. She figured that once they got home, her family wouldn’t take in a strange man, and he couldn’t possibly stay.
But as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Huo Beiyu stopped following. He stood there, watching Yun Zheng walk towards the Qin family’s house, his eyes revealing a crazed obsession in the darkness.
Yun Zheng realized he wasn’t following and turned back. The man had already turned and gone back into the mountains. So, he had simply escorted her down the mountain?
….
Yun Zheng took a nap. When she entered the main house in the morning, she saw Huo Beiyu sitting on a bench in her house, surrounded by the Qin family members, all smiling and talking.
“You, how did you get here?” Yun Zheng felt her heart skip a beat. She thought he had given up on her last night, but he showed up first thing this morning?
“Nannan’s up, just in time to keep Bei Yu company.” Before Huo Beiyu could speak, Qin Baishi said with a smile, “Bei Yu said you saved him that day, so he specially brought twenty catties of wolf meat to thank you.”
Wolf, wolf meat?
Yun Zheng swallowed hard, her gaze falling on the bag of wolf meat that Qin Baishi was carrying, which had already been processed. So Huo Beiyu went up the mountain last night to cut down the wolf meat?
“Brother Huo, how did you kill the wolf meat? You’re so amazing!” Qin Yang asked with an admiring look, the kind of look a fan would give their idol in later times.
Of course! This wasn’t chicken, duck, or pork; it was wolf meat. Someone who could kill a wolf must be incredibly skilled. The Qin family admired him for that!
Huo Beiyu glanced at Yun Zheng, who gave him a frantic look, signaling him not to reveal that she had gone up the mountain, or her family would scold her to death!
“Fifth Sister, what’s wrong with your eyes? Are they cramping?” Qin Yang asked.
Qin Baishi immediately slapped her silly grandson, “Your eyes are the ones cramping! How dare you talk to your sister like that!”
“I’m just concerned,” Qin Yang chuckled, and the topic was dropped.
“Nannan, Grandma’s going to marinate the meat. You keep him company and let Beiyu eat here with us for lunch.”
Qin Baishi said as she went into the kitchen to busy herself, calling on everyone else to help, leaving Yun Zheng and Huo Beiyu staring at each other.
Yun Zheng was actually a little surprised. This old lady Qin Baishi was very possessive of her food; she wouldn’t even let anyone else in the family eat an extra bite of meat.
Why was she being so nice to Huo Beiyu?
What she didn’t expect was that it was because of this wolf meat that the old lady thought Huo Beiyu was capable, and that if she treated him well, Huo Beiyu would protect her Nannan.
She just didn’t expect that in the end, the wolf would actually take her Nannan to his house.
The surroundings quieted down, and Huo Beiyu stared intently at Yun Zheng, his eyes like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yun Zheng rubbed her arms.
“I want to look.”
He was quite frank, making no attempt to hide his possessiveness towards Yun Zheng.
“I won’t allow it.” Yun Zheng gave a soft huff, her tone slightly haughty.
He shrank back a little, looking aggrieved.
“Oh.”
Yun Zheng touched her nose, feeling a bit like she was bullying an innocent man, and cleared her throat, saying, “By the way, you’re not allowed to tell my family about what happened to me going up the mountain last night, okay?”
