Werebeast Gongs CH 055 Remember Who You Are With Now Part 1
Before dawn, early risers from the Tiger Tribe went to the river to fetch water for breakfast, and Jing Yue, who was squatting outside the wall of his house and staring at nothing for half the night, didn’t know if he had slept or not. He just felt his head was a little dizzy, he rubbed his sore eyes and stood up. He leaned on the base of the wall, listening for any movement in his room, and decided to drive that Xiya away before his parents got up.
Jing Yue's bed was next to a window, so he bent his fingers and tapped on the window twice. Xiya was already awake, and was pressing the blanket for Lei Jin, when he heard the noise. He pushed the window open from the inside.
"It's time for you to go, right?" Jing Yue stood outside the window with his arms crossed, with an impatient look on his face.
"I want to take Lei Jin with me." Xiya looked at the person who was still sleeping on the bed.
"No." Jing Yue refused.
"Why not? You should know that he is my female." Now he can also see that Jing Yue could also let go, otherwise he wouldn't have left last night.
"My parents love him very much. If he leaves like this suddenly, my papa will be worried." Although he had made a decision in his heart, after all, it was someone he liked, so just admitting defeat like this was something he wasn't willing to do. After much deliberation, this was the only reason that makes sense, and what he said was not completely false. If Lei Jin left so suddenly, his parents would definitely ask questions, especially his papa.
"Okay then. I'll go back first. After dawn, I'll come over and personally thank your parents before taking Lei Jin away." Xiya was not unreasonable, and understood that it should be so, after all, they saved Lei Jin and took good care of him for so long. No matter what, he should thank them face to face. But it was just that he had finally found him, so naturally he didn't want to leave even one step.
"Then go away. My papa is going to get up and cook soon." Go, go, he really didn't want to see this person. The first female he ever liked, yet didn't even get to touch a single hair, was now stolen away just like this. It was impossible to be in a good mood after all that.
"He's asleep now, you can't take advantage of him." Although Jing Yue gave up, he didn't really believe in Jing Yue's self-control, after all, his feelings for Lei Jin were clear for all to see.
Hearing this, Jing Yue gave him a hard roll of the eyes, and said angrily: "My papa will be up right away. Seeing Lei Jin sleeping on my bed, I barely even have time to dodge, how dare I think of anything further?”
"It better be like this." Xiya looked back at Lei Jin worriedly, but he knew that the sky would be bright soon and he had to leave.
"You sleep for a while, when it's light out, I'll take you away." Xiya bent down and touched Lei Jin's face.
"Why are you like a papa, such a nag." After confirming that Xiya had left, he turned in through the window, leaned on the bed with his head propped on a hand and looked at the other for a while. He sighed, "You should have been mine."
After finishing speaking, Jing Yue, who was still reluctant to give up, touched the other's face carefully, and muttered to himself: "At any rate, I have touched a female now." He turned out of the window again in joy.
Jing Yue didn't sleep much on the chair in the yard when Hao Chen got up. He saw him sleeping in the yard, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Jing Yue, why did you fall asleep in the yard?"
Before Jing Yue could answer, Jing Ping ran out of the room in a panic, almost crying out of anxiety, and said, "Ah, it's not good, Lei Jin is gone!"
"How could he be gone? Didn't you watch him go to bed after dinner last night? He is still injured, where can he go?" Hao Chen became anxious when he heard that.
"Papa..." Jing Yue looked at the two people who were running around anxiously, and tried to interrupt.
"Speak to me later." Hao Chen interrupted him with an annoyed wave, and then asked Jing Ping, "When did he disappear?"
"I don't know. Last night, we were even talking before going to bed. He disappeared when I woke up this morning. The blankets are cold. Maybe he disappeared at night."
"At night? There are werebeasts patrolling outside, so it's impossible for someone to sneak in. Could it be that Lei Jin left by himself?"
"Papa..." Jing Yue called again.
"I said later, let me think about it, where might Lei Jin go." Hao Chen gave his son a glare. Why was Jing Yue not in a panic, was it not him clamoring to have Lei Jin as his female every day?
"Papa..." Jing Yue didn't try to explain this time, he directly held Hao Chen's shoulder and turned him around. Lei Jin had already woken up, and was standing at the door of Jing Yue's room, facing the morning light, with a faint smile on his face.
Speaking of which, they had only known each other for barely more than half a month, but this family was really good to him. It turns out that when he disappeared there would be people so anxious? Regardless of anything else, just pure familial concern.
Roger was also very kind to him, but facing Roger, he felt a peer-like natural sense of closeness due to their shared origins. But facing Jing Yue's papa, he felt a kind of respect for his elders.
"Lei Jin, I was scared to death. I thought you were missing." Jing Ping happily ran over, stretched out his hand, and supported Lei Jin. This has almost become a subconscious action of Jing Ping these days.
Seeing that Lei Jin was fine, Hao Chen finally put his heart back into its place, but then he thought of something and waved his hand to gesture Jing Yue to come closer.
Jing Yue was puzzled, but leaned over instinctively. As soon as he was close enough, Hao Chen raised his hand to grab his ear and pull him into a corner.
"Let go, papa, it hurts." Jing Yue tilted his head, grimacing in pain, but didn't dare to break free from his papa's hand.
"What's going on? Why did Lei Jin sleep in your room? Did you do something last night?" Hao Chen asked in a low voice.
"No, papa. I slept in the yard last night, and Lei Jin slept in the room by himself." Jing Yue quickly explained.
"You aren't lying to me?" Hao Chen looked at him suspiciously. It wasn't that he doubted his son, but after all, few werebeasts could keep calm when they saw a female they liked.
"I would like to, but how can I have the chance?" Jing Yue muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?" Hao Chen didn't hear clearly.
"I said, look at my clothes. It's so wet from the dew. I must have stayed in the yard all night. Lei Jin came out by himself last night, feeling uncomfortable..."
Hao Chen glanced at him.
"It's true. It isn't my fault." Jing Yue added, trying to cover up. Seeing that his papa didn't speak, he continued: "After a while, I wanted to send him back to his room, but Jing Ping was fast asleep, and we were afraid of waking him up. So I let Lei Jin sleep in my room instead, and I stayed in the yard all night."
Hao Chen saw guilt clearly written on his son's face, and he knew that things were not that simple, but he felt that Jing Yue's clothes were indeed very damp from dew. Looking back at Lei Jin who was talking to Jing Ping, he guessed that his idiot son couldn't easily take advantage of others, so he let go of him and said, "Why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes?"
Jing Yue left in a hurry, afraid that if he waited a little longer, he would be asked the truth by his papa.
"Jing Ping, you and Lei Jin go out for a walk, the air in the mountains is fresh in the morning, I'll cook." Hao Chen followed and said to Lei Jin and Jing Ping.
"Okay, papa, I saw that the silver gold fruits on the mountain were almost ripe two days ago, so I will pick some back on the way."
Lei Jin also nodded with a smile.
"Go, come back early for dinner." Hao Chen looked at them with a smile, but inadvertently glimpsed the mark under Lei Jin's ear, which seemed to be...
It shouldn't be possible, right? He must have seen wrong, right?
"Lei Jin, what do you think of my brother?" Jing Ping honestly liked Lei Jin, and although Lei Jin doesn't talk much, and was even a little too quiet, he really hoped that Lei Jin could really stay. Besides, his parents also liked him.
"Not bad." Lei Jin answered matter of factly. Although the other had some different thoughts towards him, he knew how to restrain himself, at least he didn't give him headaches like three certain brothers.
If he knew that something happened to him, who knew what that little guy might be doing to torment himself and others back at home. Now that Xiya had found him, it seemed that he would not give up so easily. As for Moya, forget it, don't think about it, there was not one who was simple.
"...is that okay?" Lei Jin only heard the last few words when he came back to his senses.
"What?" Lei Jin asked.
"Why not stay in our tribe and hold a ceremony with my brother, my brother will love you very much, and my brother is very likely to be the next patriarch." Jing Ping lowered his head to pick silver gold fruits in the bushes. In order to keep living with Lei Jin, all the persuasions he could think of came out. The patriarch of a tribe must be the strongest werebeast, and all females should like a mate like that.
"That probably isn't likely, Lei Jin is already my mate." A deep magnetic voice came from behind the two of them, and someone embraced Lei Jin's shoulder from behind, leaning his head forward.
When Jing Ping turned around and raised his head, he looked into a pair of smiling lavender eyes, and his ears turned red suspiciously.
The person who came was naturally Xiya.
It turned out that when Xiya went back this morning, he happened to meet Hao Yang who had already woken up. Hao Yang was not surprised, and even asked Xiya if he went to find his female last night.
Xiya explained the happenings generally. After all, he was living in the other's house now, so he should give some explanation.
Unexpectedly, after the two had a meal, Hao Yang offered to take Xiya to his brother's place. Naturally, Xiya couldn't wish for anything more. After all, if someone from the Tiger Clan introduced him, he wouldn't be regarded as an intruder.
They went early, and Hao Chen was still cooking. Hao Yang told him the truth, and Hao Chen looked at Xiya, and then at his son who had a guilty face. He understood a little bit in his heart, and told them Lei Jin was on the mountain. Only then did Xiya find him.
Xiya's hot breath was blown against Lei Jin's ears, and suddenly Lei Jin recalled what happened last night. He lifted his leg and kicked Xiya, saying, "Stay away."
"How cruel, you don't recognize me out of bed." Xiya complained not very seriously.
"What did you say?" Lei Jin leaned back against the tree to stabilize his body, and said lightly, but his gaze was heavy.
"I mean, are you feeling better today?" Xiya immediately sided over with a smile on his face.
Lei Jin glanced at him, and it was true that Xiya helped, so he nodded, but the thank you was choked in his throat and he couldn't say it.
"That's good." Xiya's expression was obviously relieved. He had never seen the effect of jade mugwort with his own eyes, maybe Lei Jin could really endure it.
"Lei Jin, who is this?" Jing Ping came over with half a basket of silver gold fruits on his shoulders, and asked with a bit of awkwardness.
"Friend."
"Mate."
The two spoke at the same time, but they gave two completely different answers.
Xiya whispered something into Lei Jin's ear.
Jing Ping glanced at the two of them strangely, seeing Lei Jin's complexion was not pleased, so he didn't ask any further. Jing Ping saw that it was almost time for breakfast, so he proposed to go down the mountain.
On the way, Xiya said that it was inconvenient for Jing Ping to carry the basket and help Lei Jin, so he took the initiative to take over the task of supporting Lei Jin.
Lei Jin didn't say a word along the way, but the person who introduced himself as Xiya had a good personality, kept saying thank you for helping Lei Jin these days and so on, which made Jing Ping feel a little embarrassed.
After going back to have breakfast, Hao Yang explained that he invited some people to go hunting in the jungle tomorrow, and planned to let Xiya and Lei Jin go over to help look after his house, and also have a place to live by the way.
Hao Chen was a little worried about Lei Jin's body, afraid that the werebeast wouldn't know how to take care of him, but seeing that Lei Jin didn't object, he thought that they were mates after all, and he couldn't be too nosy. So he just packed two pairs of Jing Ping's clothes for Lei Jin, and chose a few pieces of good tender meat and a large bag of silver gold fruits.
Seeing that Lei Jin's body was still recovering, Xiya would definitely not be able to travel long distances back to the Leopard Tribe, so he thought about recuperating in the Tiger Tribe for the time being. He estimated that a month would be up soon, and Moya, after being unable to find Lei Jin, should be waiting at the place agreed by the two. So he asked Hao Yang to send a message to the Leopard werebeast who was waiting at the mouth of the river, letting him know that he and Lei Jin were now in the Tiger Tribe. Hao Yang readily agreed.
So everyone went their own way.
Xiya and Lei Jin had been living in Hao Yang's house for a few days.
The effect of the jade mugwort in Lei Jin's system became more and more obvious. At first, Xiya helped Lei Jin take a bath and deal with it with his mouth, but soon they saw that these days, such methods were no longer feasible.
Lei Jin couldn't sleep all night, and after a few days, his complexion became obviously worse.
Xiya sometimes wished that Moya would come over as soon as possible. Lei Jin liked Moya, so he would definitely not object to their union. This way Lei Jin didn't have to suffer from it every night. But sometimes he thought it would be better for Moya to come later, so that he and Lei Jin would have more chances to spend time alone, maybe Lei Jin would also come to like him. Xiya was very conflicted.
