The morning of the first day of winter is no different from the previous moonless day, and the sky also has no transition, changing from darkness to dawn in an instant.
The moonless night was so dark that he couldn't see anything, Chen Qi lost interest in the middle of the night and went back to his room to sleep in a daze. There was no fire or fire pit in the room, and he still woke up in the morning even with two layers of animal skin blankets . Chen Qi shivered and got up, Aze had already started to boil rice paste.
Chen Qi went to the storage room and took a small hanging bacon, cut the bacon into cubes and put it in the rice paste to make meat porridge. The little wolf cub excitedly circled around Aze early in the morning. Aze opened half a milk fruit for him to make breakfast. What Aze brought back yesterday was a whole big backpack full of milk fruit, enough for the little wolf cub I have been eating for a long time.
Chen Qi curled his lips, opened two milk fruits and poured them into a ceramic bowl to warm them up, then picked up the hot water in the clay pot next to him to wash. When Chen Qi came out, the little wolf cub had already finished his breakfast, and was lying on his stomach in front of the pottery bowl with milk and fruit, his big eyes staring at the steaming liquid inside.
"Chen Qi, the little cub has already eaten, and if you eat it again, it will fill your stomach." A Ze thought that the milk fruit in the pottery bowl was prepared by Chen Qi for the little wolf cub, so he reminded him aloud.
"Who said it was for this little cub to eat." Chen Qi stretched out his hand and flicked the little wolf cub's head, and the little wolf cub rolled twice on the ground, away from the pottery bowl.
Chen Qi picked up the pottery bowl, and a milky smell hit his face, he took a sip from the pottery bowl, the smooth and tender milk was much better than the boxed milk he drank before, Chen Qi handed the pottery bowl to Ah Ze, "Try it, the milk fruit tastes pretty good."
Aze was a little surprised, it was the first time he saw an adult orc eating cubs' milk fruit, but he didn't refuse Chen Qi's kindness, and took a sip from the pottery bowl. Aze can't say he likes it, but he doesn't hate it either. The little wolf cub was not happy anymore, he thought Chen Qi had prepared food for him, but he drank it by himself, screaming and jumping into Aze's arms, his eyes filled with tears, okay? Pitiful.
A Ze looked at the pottery bowl in his hand and then at the little wolf cub in his arms. He was a little confused whether to feed the little wolf cub a little more. Chen Qi took the pottery bowl over and drank the remaining milk fruit in two or three mouthfuls. When it was over, he still licked his lips contentedly, and bared his teeth proudly at the little wolf cub. The little wolf cub looked at Chen Qi in shock, jumped out of Aze's arms with a twist of his little butt, ran back to his den with a whimper, got into the animal skin blanket and ignored the two of them.
A Ze looked at Chen Qi who was fighting for food with the beast cub with amused expression, and handed the cooked meat porridge to the other party. After breakfast, Chen Qi felt warm from inside to outside, and Chen Qi planned to go outside to see the scene on the first day of winter.
As soon as the thick animal skin curtain was lifted, a gust of cold wind rushed over, and what he saw was so similar to what Chen Qi saw when he came to this world on the first day.
The yellow weeds were almost bent under the weight of a foot of snow. Except for the fig tree, which remained green as before, the other plants on the plain seemed to have withered overnight. A locust tree not far away The leaves have all fallen off, only the white snow covers the branches. Chen Qi really couldn't imagine how much snow fell last night.
Aze came out of the house, and he put the animal skin in his hand on Chen Qi's shoulders, "You can't adapt to the sudden cold temperature just now, so wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold." After Aze finished speaking He took a wooden board and planned to clear the snow outside the house.
Aze has turned into a beast since last night. His hair is white, which is very similar to the fur of the giant wolf god. It's just that this year he didn't turn into a beast all over his body like in previous years, but only from the neck down. Covered with thick fur, he is still wearing a set of animal skin clothes that he usually wears. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that he has turned into a beast.
The morning light shone on Aze's body, softening the hard lines on the other person's face. Aze had always been taciturn in front of other people, but he could always speak a lot naturally in front of Chen Qi, and would often laugh. Having known A Ze for so long, this was the first time Chen Qi observed A Ze so seriously.
Aze's facial features are actually very delicate, he is half a head taller than Chen Qi, and has a slender body, but the crudely cut animal fur clothes can make him wear a wild fashion taste, if he lives in Chen Qi In Qi's world, Aze's good figure was wasted if he didn't become a star.
Sensing Chen Qi's gaze, Aze, who had been busy all this time, raised his head, his beautiful crimson thin lips slightly curled up, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qi was stunned by this beautiful smile, maybe it was because the snow scene was too dazzling, or because Aze's smile at this moment had the effect of bewitching people's hearts, Chen Qi replied in a strange way, "Aze, you want Don't stay with me?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Qi was frightened by himself, but after recovering, he found that he did not regret it. Chen Qi is not a straight man, he knew a long time ago that he liked a man, but at first he was busy studying and then busy with work, and there was no one like him around him, so he has been single until now.
A Ze obviously didn't understand Chen Qi's slightly reserved words, "What do you mean? Don't we already live together now?"
Chen Qi suppressed his expression, tightened the animal skin coat on his body, walked up to Aze, stared into the other's beautiful eyes, and said again seriously: "I mean, do you want to be a partner?" Try with me?" Chen Qi has lived for nearly thirty years and this is the first time he has confessed his love to someone. He didn't feel anything when he just said it, but after he finished speaking, he became nervous and stared at A Ze with good eyes, for fear There was even a trace of rejection on the other party's face.
"Don't use stretch marks to reject me, I never thought that my partner could give birth to me." Chen Qi looked at A Ze's uneasy expression, and naturally knew what the other party was most worried about, so he said softly: " You have to think about it carefully, you don’t need to give me an answer right away, but it’s not too late either.”
"En." Aze responded inexplicably, lowered his head to avoid Chen Qi's gaze, and danced the wooden plank in his hand, and the snow on the ground was pulled aside one after another, revealing the maroon land below.
Chen Qi looked at A Ze's flustered look with amused expression. He and A Ze had known each other for only a month, which was not a long time. He immediately said that love was impossible, but Chen Qi didn't like the fact that he had a good impression of the other party. I can be sure that in this world, there is probably no one who treats me better than Aze. Chen Qi, who has never been in love, never thought that he would be so decisive in this matter. Snow is blinded by it.
Aze's heart is not as calm as he looks on the surface, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as turbulent at the moment. He thinks that he can only accompany Chen Qi silently, and he will not leave until Chen Qi finds his partner. , never thought that Chen Qi would ask himself to be his partner.
Aze's chaotic thoughts made him unable to see his mood clearly at the moment, he just felt his head was empty, asking himself silently over and over again, is he really qualified to be with Chen Qi? Is Chen Qi really happy with him? Can he really accept without children? Would Chen Qi really not get hurt when he was with him? Ze thought of his father, his first tribe that was destroyed, his father, his second father, and the second tribe that was destroyed. Aze once thought more than once that if he hadn't left Carlo and moved outside the tribe by himself, wouldn't Carlo grow up safely like he is now
Feeling the sadness overflowing from Aze, Chen Qi was taken aback. He grabbed Aze's cold hand and apologized in a panic: "Aze, I'm sorry, did I bother you? If you don't want to be me If you are not a partner, let’s go back to the previous relationship, you can pretend that I didn’t say anything just now, and we can continue to be friends.”
Ze shook his head, his eyes flushed.
"Can't you even be friends?" Chen Qi was annoyed by his sudden confession. He didn't want to be separated from Aze because of the rejection of the confession. Although his feelings for Aze hadn't reached the level of love, he was already Began to greedily fall in love with each other's tenderness.
"I am the one who was abandoned by the beast god." Aze said in a low voice.
"I know." The lack of pregnancy marks means that he was abandoned by the beast god. Aze has mentioned it more than once.
"I can't have children."
"Well, what I like is that you don't like you because you can have children." Chen Qi explained patiently.
Aze's eyebrows moved, "Chen Qi, why do you want me to be your partner?"
Chen Qi looked at him amusedly, A Ze's hair was very soft, and Chen Qi had to raise his hand to rub the other's head. Although it was inconvenient, Chen Qi liked this move very much, "Do you still need a reason to like you? Then Does Aze like me?"
Do you like Chen Qi? Aze could come up with an affirmative answer without thinking. He had a crush on Chen Qi from the first moment he saw Chen Qi. Even though he knew that he didn't have pregnancy marks, the way he looked at him remained the same as before.
Seeing A Ze nodded slightly, Chen Qi looked into the other person's eyes, and asked again seriously: "A Ze, do you want to try to be with me as a partner?"
A Ze looked back at him, Chen Qi's expression was solemn like never seen before, the muscles in his arm holding him were tense, it is estimated that the other party didn't realize how much effort he was expending at this moment, and he was almost about to hold A Ze's hand There are red marks.
Aze's lips moved a few times, and it took him a long time to say a word softly, "Okay."
Chen Qi felt that he had lived so long, and it was the first time that he felt that the pronunciation of the word "good" was so beautiful.
