Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Oops! Cover Blown
With that thought, Xi Yi leaped down from the tree.
His face wreathed in a smile, he looked at Su Luoluo. "Luoluo, what are you doing?"
Su Luoluo was in the middle of a difficult pose when Xi Yi suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The shock made her lose her form completely.
She stared at the person who had just appeared, clutching her chest. "Why are you here?"
Xi Yi’s eyes curved into crescents as he gazed at Su Luoluo. "I think your dance is wonderful. I was unconsciously drawn to it, so I wanted to come over and appreciate it up close."
Su Luoluo’s mouth twitched. ’Dancing?’
’This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone call yoga dancing, and even say it looks good.’
At that moment, Su Luoluo was finally certain of one thing: there was definitely something wrong with Xi Yi’s head.
Su Luoluo didn’t argue with him. ’If he says it’s dancing, then let it be dancing!’
’If I told him it was yoga, he wouldn’t know what it was, and I’d have to make up another excuse for how I learned it.’
’Before, I could attribute everything I did to my Black Bear Foster Mother, but now someone who was actually around her is here. I can’t just make things up anymore.’
’I need to get him to leave as soon as possible, or he’ll easily expose the lies I’ve told.’
Fortunately, she was almost done with her routine, so the interruption didn’t have much of an impact.
After exercising all morning, Su Luoluo was quite sweaty. She walked toward her small cabin to get clothes for a bath.
After a few steps, she realized Xi Yi was following her.
She wanted to ask why he was following her, but after a moment’s thought, she figured he was probably looking for breakfast.
There was food in the tribe, but it wasn’t really appropriate for him, an outsider, to go get it.
She was the one who had let him stay, so it was naturally her responsibility to take care of him.
At that thought, she said, "Go to my place for breakfast in a bit. And you..."
Before she could finish, a sharp voice called out. It was one of the tribe’s biggest gossips. "Luoluo, who is this?"
The two of them had been walking and talking, and they had unknowingly arrived at the tribal square.
At the moment, a crowd of people was gathered there, queuing up for wild fruit.
Seeing a handsome Beastman following Su Luoluo, everyone in the tribe turned to stare in unison.
Many people started whispering. ’Didn’t Su Luoluo just bring home a Black Bear Beastman yesterday?’
’Why is she with an unfamiliar Beastman this morning?’
’How has she managed to hook up with so many of them recently?’
Before Su Luoluo had a chance to answer, Xi Yi chimed in with a radiant smile, "Hello, everyone. I’m Xi Yi."
"Lizard? You’re a Lizard Person? Then why are your ears round?" a female asked, confused by his name.
"Ma’am, it’s not Lizard, it’s Xi Yi," Xi Yi patiently explained.
After hearing the name clearly, the crowd nodded, but this still didn’t satisfy their curiosity.
The crowd looked back to Su Luoluo. A young female near Su Luoluo felt her heart pound at the sight of Xi Yi. She grabbed Su Luoluo’s arm and asked, "Sister Luoluo, what is your relationship with this Xi Yi?"
Su Luoluo knew no one would recognize him since his appearance had changed. She gave a light cough and said, "He’s the Black Bear Beastman from yesterday."
"What!"
The crowd was stunned. The reaction of the female who had taken a liking to Xi Yi was particularly stark. "You’re saying he’s that childhood fiancé of yours from yesterday? You’re not kidding, are you? I saw him yesterday, and he didn’t look like this."
The others also thought it was impossible. Yesterday’s Black Bear Person was ugly and dirty, whereas this man was fair and handsome. How could they be the same person?
Xi Yi listened, then smiled and scratched the back of his head. "I was just in a hurry to get here and meet Luoluo, so I didn’t really stop to bathe along the way."
Hearing Xi Yi admit it himself, the crowd reluctantly started to believe it.
Still, comparing the Black Bear after a bath to the man before them now, it was like they were two different people.
Looking closely, there was some resemblance. Seeing how handsome Xi Yi was, and knowing he was Su Luoluo’s Beastman, the young females felt both sour and jealous.
They had thought that an ugly one who was a perfect match for Su Luoluo had finally arrived yesterday, which brought them a subtle sense of balance. Who knew that Su Luoluo would still end up with a handsome one?
’How is her luck so good? Every Beastman she finds is handsome.’
Su Nuannuan, watching from the crowd, also had a look of utter disbelief on her face.
’How is this possible!’
’The exceptionally handsome man before me is actually that ugly Beastman from yesterday.’
’How did I not notice it yesterday!’
’If I had known he was this good-looking, I should have been nicer to him and snatched him away for myself.’
’But then again, him being handsome isn’t a bad thing.’
’The more handsome he is, the more those five Beastmen will believe Su Luoluo loves to sleep around and have affairs.’
A smile touched Su Nuannuan’s lips as she thought to herself, ’Su Luoluo, you’ll be abandoned by your five Beastmen soon enough!’
’I must take this opportunity to get along well with them and win them back to my side.’
’As for this Xi Yi, I have to get close to him, too. It’s a shame for someone so handsome to be with Su Luoluo.’
Su Luoluo had no idea what Su Nuannuan was thinking. Her body was sticky from her morning workout, and she felt that if she listened to these people any longer, she would start to smell.
She couldn’t wait any longer. She said to Xi Yi, "Wait for me where we ate yesterday," then returned to her small cabin, grabbed her clothes, and departed.
Hearing this, Xi Yi didn’t chase after her, instead heading for the place where they had eaten yesterday.
The chairs, cooking utensils, and other things in this dining area were arranged quite exquisitely, unlike those of any other Beastman.
There was even a jar on the table holding a few purple flowers, making for an exceptionally pleasing sight.
When Xiao Ye, Fu Feng, Mo Xuan, and Luan Ting arrived, they were taken aback to see Xi Yi sitting at the round table. ’Why is he here?’
Fu Feng curled his lip. ’He’s sure fast when it comes to getting to the table. Hasn’t even done any work. Figures that females all love sweet talk.’
But he only dared to think these things in his heart; he wouldn’t dare say them in front of Su Luoluo. After all, he hadn’t started work today either, so he had no right to talk.
Su Luoluo, however, had no idea what he was thinking. For breakfast, she had made some corn buns with corn flour. The filling was made of freshly picked shepherd’s purse and fresh meat, and when steamed, they were fragrant and soft.
Once the six Beastmen received theirs, they immediately took a bite.
Xi Yi in particular, his eyes lit up after one bite. "This is incredible! I’ve never eaten anything so delicious."
The others had worn the same expression when they first started eating Su Luoluo’s food. After eating it many times, though, their surprise gradually faded. It wasn’t that they no longer loved it, but that they had gotten used to it.
It wasn’t surprising for someone trying Su Luoluo’s cooking for the first time to have such a reaction. However, hadn’t this Xi Yi come from where Su Luoluo’s Black Bear Foster Mother lived?
’Su Luoluo’s cooking skills were all taught by that Black Bear Foster Mother, so how could he have never eaten it before?’
At that, Mo Xuan looked at him in confusion. "You’ve never had these buns before? Su Luoluo learned all her cooking skills from her foster mother."
Hearing this, Su Luoluo’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost bit her tongue.
