Well…

Her face was wet, as if someone was washing her face with abrasive paper, Ji Xiaoou couldn't help frowning slightly due to the rough touch.

Ji Xiaoou turned over and buried her cheeks in the quilt, trying to avoid the annoying factor that disturbed her sleep.

It didn't work though.

The other party only paused for a moment, then moved the target from her cheek to her ear, swept her tongue lightly over her ear, and then rolled her earball into her mouth. Scratching Ji Xiaoou's ears lightly with the thorny tongue, it hurts and itches.

This feeling is like when Ji Xiaoou was at home before.

Her short-haired cat used to do the same thing, licking her face in the middle of the night, when she was too sleepy to care about it. As a result, when I woke up the next day, half of my cheeks were covered in red blood, and there were still marks of dried saliva.

Right now, this tongue is as difficult as the cat she raises.

Ji Xiaoou didn't want to experience the same experience again, so he moaned sullenly, and stretched out his little hand from under the bed to resist.

The palm touched a ball of fluffy fur, which was bigger than her cat, Ji Xiaoou pushed, but did not push.

The action of licking her ears continued, Ji Xiaoou shrank his neck from itching, and finally opened his eyes reluctantly...

What came into view was a piece of soft and shiny fur with gray background and black spots, a huge monster, lying on her side in a coil at the moment, with its tail hanging on the edge of the bed, sweeping slowly.

Seeing that she was awake, he stuck out his tongue and licked her cheek again.

Ji Xiaoou was stunned, met its deep blue eyes, woke up from a doze, covered his face and hid, "You..."

Maybe it's because it deliberately put down the force, it's not that it hurts, but it's a little itchy. But Ji Xiaoou was very ashamed and annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you promise me yesterday that you would not kiss me casually in the future? You...how can you backtrack?"

The big leopard flicked its tail. Hearing these words, he didn't feel ashamed at all. His voice in the shape of a beast became even deeper and rougher, "Don't think too much, I'm just telling you to get up."

As soon as he turned into a beast shape, all the gauze on his body was torn, and the deep and long wound on his foreleg was especially obvious, right in front of Ji Xiaoou's eyes.

"..."

Ji Xiaoou suddenly remembered that animals, especially cats, really like to lick each other's wounds, or use their tongues to groom each other's hair.

... But, she has no hair on her face! Why did he wake her up in this way

Ji Xiaoou looked at the scene outside the window with a depressed face. It was not yet dawn, and there was a smear of blue crab shell in the distance. He looked down at his watch, and it was only five forty.

Ji Xiaoou raised her hand to wipe the saliva on her face, it was sticky, she flattened her mouth in disgust.

I couldn't fall asleep anyway, so I got out of bed, went outside to wash my face, took out toothpaste and a toothbrush, and brushed my teeth.

After returning to the house, the big leopard lying on the bed had changed into a human form. Ren was bandaging the wound with gauze in his hand. Next to her was her medicine box. The lid of the box was opened, and the disinfectant and alcohol inside were opened, and the gauze was also in a mess.

Seeing her coming back, Ren greeted, "Come here."

When Ji Xiaoou came up to him, he raised his injured arm and said in a low voice, "Tie a knot for me." He was not very comfortable with one hand.

Looking at the arm in front of him, Ji Xiaoou hesitated.

However, remembering the severity of his wound yesterday, he still bent down slightly and obeyed obediently.

She doesn't know how to tie complicated knots, but ordinary bows. She didn't pay attention when bandaging Tao Tao's wounds, but now she looks at a bow hanging on Ren's strong arm, which is a bit uncoordinated and funny.

Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to dismantle it silently and hit it again.

The young girl's puffy and tender cheeks were in front of her, and there was a vague fragrance lingering around her. When Ren lowered his head, he could see her row of cypress-like eyelashes. Thick and curled, fluttering, like a hook.

Unable to resist reaching out, the beast's claws gently swept under the girl's eyelashes.

Ji Xiaoou immediately backed away like a frightened bird, looking at him as if facing a big enemy. "What are you doing?"

Ren looked at her frightened little face, curled his lips calmly, and asked deliberately: "It's fine if you don't let the kiss, can't you even touch it now?"

Ji Xiaoou was embarrassed, he said this, as if he used to "touch" her often, he shook his head very seriously, "No."

"I thought about the conditions you said yesterday." Ren bit the end of the gauze with his fangs, tied a knot casually, and raised his blue eyes to look at her, "I can promise you. In exchange, you also need Promise me one thing."

Ji Xiaoou asked: "What's the matter?"

"During my injury, take care of me like you used to take care of 'Tao Tao'."

"..."

"Can't do it?" Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, "You have asked me so many things, and I only have this one for you."

Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Anyway, it was not a particularly difficult request, so he nodded.

But she forgot that she should make the request, because the decision to stay or not to stay is in her hands. As the passive side, Rennes is not qualified to make demands at all.

While adding firewood to the stove, Ji Xiaoou secretly thought, shouldn't she agree to Ren just now

What if he made some strange demands on her

Ji Xiaoou quickly thought about what he had done to Tao Tao back then, and after thinking for a long time, it seemed that he only changed the gauze and fed him food, and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Ji Xiaoou was a little relieved, fortunately she hadn't bathed him before and had taken his rectal temperature...

Smelling a burnt smell, Ji Xiaoou came back to his senses, looked down, and saw that the porridge in the pot was almost boiled dry, and thick smoke rose from the bottom of the pot, circling upwards.

Ji Xiaoou hurriedly extinguished the fire in the stove, but he had never used this ancient stove before, and he was not very skilled in his movements. Instead of extinguishing the fire, the kitchen was filled with smoke.

"Ahem..." In the end, Ji Xiaoou had no choice but took a basin of water and poured it on the stove, and the fire was finally extinguished.

Standing in front of the pile of mess, Ji Xiaoou breathed a long sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little melancholy, now the porridge she cooked was undrinkable. Even if it is re-cooked, it will take a long time, and she really doesn't know how to use the stove, what if she messes up again

After thinking about it, Ji Xiaoou decided to take the risk to use the stove and the gas tank. Just as he took the gas tank out of the space, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Ji Xiaoou hurriedly stuffed the gas tank back into the space, and walked over to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a female orc with blue-green eyes, a straight nose, deep features, and a tall figure.

——It was the orc Olin who came back last time.

With the scars on her body gone, Olin looks a lot prettier, and the smile on her face is much more relaxed.

"Is the leader of Rennes here?" Olin raised the clay pot in her hand, and said shyly to Ji Xiaoou in the leopard language: "I made some pigeon soup, I heard that the leader of Rennes was injured, these Soup just helps the wound heal, can I go in and see him?"

Although Ji Xiaoou has lived in the Leopard Clan for several days, he has always talked with Ren in human language, and he can understand not many Leopard Clan languages, so he barely understood Olin's first sentence, so gently Nodded, "Yeah."

Olin gratefully thanked Ji Xiaoou, walked straight into the courtyard, and walked to the only bedroom in the courtyard.

In the room, Ren was sitting by the bed swinging Ji Xiaoou's backpack.

That little guy always carries this thing on his back every time he leaves. What is so important in it

Ren took out a piece of paper from his backpack, on which was drawn a map of the entire Kamuda Valley and the surrounding mountains, and the exit of the valley was specially marked with a red marker.

Ren's eyes dimmed.

"Leader Ren." There was a light voice at the door, Ren looked up, and Olin stood at the door, explaining shyly: "I cooked some squab soup for Chris, but I didn't expect to cook too much, just in time This bowl is left, if you don't mind, please stay and drink."

As he spoke, he walked into the room, put the clay pot in his hand on the table, and lowered his head to wait for Ren's response.

Ren crumpled up the paper in his hand and threw it into the fireplace calmly. Immediately afterwards, when he looked at Olin again, his brows frowned imperceptibly, "Who let you in?"

Olin was slightly taken aback, and said, "Yes, a female opened the door for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ren got out of bed and walked around her to the kitchen.

The dense fog in the kitchen has dissipated, but the stove is a bit horrible. Ji Xiaoou fetched a bucket of water from the back and was cleaning the stove with a rag.

It's just that the stove is too high, and the iron pot inside is so heavy that Ji Xiaoou couldn't move it at all, and it was very difficult to clean it.

When Ren came in from the outside, he saw her cleaning the bottom of the pot with her toes on her toes. Her whole head was almost buried in the pot, her buttocks pouted, like a little mouse stealing an oil lamp.

Ren went up and took her out of the pot with his uninjured hand, and put her on the ground. Seeing that her cheeks and nose were covered with dust, he stretched out his thumb to wipe her, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? Trying to cook yourself?"

Ji Xiaoou touched his cheek in embarrassment, "Cook porridge."

Ren looked at her, "Where's the porridge?"

"Accidentally blurred..." After Ji Xiaoou finished speaking, he probably also felt ashamed, and argued in a low voice: "I don't know how to light fire."

Ren had no temper at all. He picked up the gray little guy and walked outside, "Why didn't you call me?"

Ji Xiaoou pursed his lips, but said nothing.

Of course it's because she doesn't want to be in the same space as him...

Outside the house, before Olin left, she saw Ren come out with Ji Xiaoou skillfully and naturally, she paused with a smile, "Leader Ren..."

Ren stopped, looked sideways, and said to her: "I want to be alone with my female now. If there is nothing else, you can go."
