I Heard That I'm An Affectionate Male Lead

Chapter 030

"I ate him."

Xuan Jie stood up from the nest of cloth. He never talked with anyone other than Cang Yu. To be more precise, he wasn't even willing to talk to anyone other than Cang Yu.

Conversation is neither meaningful nor necessary for everyday life.

The fight during the day had consumed most of Xuan Jie's energy, but he didn't quite understand why Chi Shuishui was so angry, although he could instinctively sense the anger surging in the other's heart. However, this anger came without warning and was too sudden, no different from hostility, so he bared his teeth and resisted in the most primitive manner.

Xuan Jie was born too early and ignorant of his spiritual wisdom, but this didn't mean that he knew nothing about himself. He wasn't of the same as these monsters, his emotions were very weak. The Zhuzhao are born with such tempers, it's difficult for them to have deep friendships with their own clansmen or even relatives. When he said this, it wasn't so much that he wanted praise or to explain, but rather that he simply felt that since Chi Shuishui had spoken, it's something that'll be asked.

"Only you?" Cang Yu asked him.

"Only myself," Xuan Jie replied, his expression as normal as saying that he dug a hole today.

This made Cang Yu think he was a little cute and a little funny for a moment, so he picked up Xuan Jie and wiped his limbs carefully with a cloth. After all, they were sharing a bed right now. If this kid was covered in dirt, he'd be too so it was good to act in advance.

"You only killed the small one, there was also a big one, and if Chi Shuishui hadn't been there..." Cang Yu paused, waiting for Xuan Jie to speak.

Xuan Jie answered him matter-of-factly: "Then I would've eaten the bigger one."

"Can you eat it?"

"Yes," Xuan Jie licked his injured front paw, his voice was still very childish, but he sounded firm.

Cang Yu felt that Xuan Jie wasn't lying. When the black snake wanted to eat him, he was also like this. He wasn't timid at all. He even went up to butcher it and dug out the inner elixir. He really didn't know what to say. Was it true that a newborn calf isn't afraid of tigers, or should it be said that he's exceptionally bold?

"Did I do something wrong?" Xuan Jie asked in hindsight.

Cang Yu didn't have the temperament of a teacher. He smiled and asked back, "What do you think?"

After a short while, the child asked: "Then why is he angry?"

This kid was very confident.

Cang Yu laughed secretly in his heart. Although he had expected that Xuan Jie didn't think he was at fault, hearing it was another matter.

This question was innocent and ignorant. Even though Cang Yu couldn't see any expression on the black beast's face, he still heard Xuan Jie's unusual childishness. He looked at Xuan Jie curiously for a while, and slowly said: "Because Chi Shuishui is very worried about you. That's why he was so angry when you went to kill the mandrill."

"Is the anger because of worry?" His long hair flowed like ice and snow, his mouth in a half-smile. He didn't know why these two things could occur together, and he also didn't understand what was so funny about it. He couldn't help but feel very confused. He thought about it for a while and added, "He wanted to attack me, like he's hunting for prey."

Cang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and stroked Xuan Jie's head, sitting up straight: "He's different from those wild beasts. He's afraid of you getting hurt. So he gets angry and scares you, because if you're scared, you won't do what he doesn't want you to do."
