Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Slightly Sweet
"Hey! Wait up!"
Just as Gaiyin’s foot was about to step out of the little cave, Su Tang called him back.
She handed him a bundle of jerky and said, "Take this and play with other cubs from the tribe. You can share these jerkies with them."
Gaiyin looked hesitant and reluctant.
Su Tang understood immediately. She stretched out her hand to ruffle his hair and said, "Listen Yaya, I will make more jerky for you once these are finished. You should share delicious food with your friends. Have you forgotten that the beast skin clothes you are wearing were given to you by Tiger Egg’s mother the day before yesterday?"
Feeling the clothes on his body, Gaiyin looked at the jerky in his hand unwillingly and finally spoke.
"Well... okay, Yaya will do as you say Aaso, but you have to make me more this jerky..."
Su Tang nodded her head and laughed, "Good boy, off you go!"
The jerky was actually the leftover meat from the dumpling filling chopped before. It was sliced and marinated with salt for a while, and then dried in the oven.
It was dry and hard, and slightly salty, Su Tang couldn’t chew it, but for those cubs, it was a popular teething snack.
Sending off Yaya, and with Yadang the old fox not around, only Gaiyin and Su Tang were left in the cave, Gaiyin felt that beast life was finally perfect!
Su Tang gave him a side glance and said with a helpless smile, "Look at you so happy, I know you don’t like Yaya clinging to me, but you have to think from his perspective!"
"Think about it, Yaya is still young, and suddenly got snatched away by a bad beastman, no one he knows is around, then he finds his long-lost elder brother, he would surely rely on you, why do you always keep a stern face to scare him? I can tell you actually like Yaya too, right?"
There was no expression on Gaiyin’s face, but if you look closely, you could see a trace of grievance in his eyes.
Su Tang stood up immediately to comfort him, her voice gentle, "Okay, okay~ I know my Ayin is the most tolerant. When we get to the new territory and build a house, we will let Yaya live on his own, alright?"
The black vertical pupils of Gaiyin lit up. He lifted up Su Tang into his arms, got closer to her ear, and said in a low voice, "What did you just call me?"
The faint sound of his breath sprayed in her ear, along with that pleasant voice of Gaiyin, almost intoxicating Su Tang, she felt numbness spreading across half of her body.
She lay somewhat powerless in Gaiyin’s arms, not wanting to get up.
"Hmm?"
His tone rose slightly, carrying a hint of charm.
Su Tang felt her cheeks heat up, she mumbled in a low voice, "A, Ayin..."
A satisfied smile hung on the corner of Gaiyin’s lips, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I like you calling me Ayin, call me that from now on!"
Su Tang shyly buried her face in Gaiyin’s chest.
Gaiyin stretched out his index finger, twirling Su Tang’s soft hair, he said with a slight complaint, "You kissed him today, but you didn’t kiss me."
While speaking, Gaiyin moved closer to Su Tang. There was clear dissatisfaction in his tiger eyes.
Su Tang paused for a moment, then quickly, gently touched Gaiyin’s cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water, before retracting back into his arms.
But it seemed Gaiyin wasn’t satisfied, he pressed on greedily.
