After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"Whose responsibility is it if the hair falls off?" he asked back.

Liang Tan: “…” Can hair fall off just by touching it?

The two returned home in silence, and Cui Ling threw the tiger skin directly in the yard to dry. Seeing his rough actions, Liang Tan wanted to ask if he was not afraid of losing the fur now? But since someone looked in a bad mood, she decided to give up asking.

The bonfire in the room had long gone out, and the two did not light it again, but walked towards the bed in the dark. Liang Tan's night vision was not as good as Cui Ling's, so he walked relatively slowly, but he also arrived at the bed safely.

She groped her way onto the bed, and after lying down, she rubbed against Cui Ling out of habit, only to find that he had not turned into a wolf.

"Why don't you change shape?" she asked curiously.

Cui Ling was silent for a moment before speaking calmly: "I don't want to change."

"Why?" Liang Tan was puzzled.

Cui Ling sneered: "I just don't want to."

I'm so angry that I'm about to burst out.

Liang Tan paused and began to think seriously about which step was wrong that made him so angry.

First, he was normal when he just came back, and he knew how to show affection to outsiders, and then the tiger skin... Liang Tan realized it, and carefully reached out and poked his waist. Cui Ling didn't expect her to suddenly attack, and poked the place where she was most ticklish. Although she didn't want to react, she still poked and rolled like a mimosa...

After rolling it two or three times, he couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Liang Tan's hand. Liang Tan turned around and interlocked his fingers with his.

Cui Ling had never held hands like this before, and her mood suddenly became delicate. She wanted to continue to be angry, but she couldn't. She wanted to stay angry, but her anger was like wet firewood that could not be ignited.

"That tiger skin is for me, right?" Liang Tan asked in the dark. "You have been running out all this time, is it also to find skin for me?"

Cui Ling said nothing.

Liang Tan smiled, held his face and kissed him: "Why are you so nice?"

It was the first time that Cui Ling was kissed by her in human form. He felt it more clearly and his heartbeat was faster. He kept his face tense for a moment, but he couldn't help but speak: "What's the use of me being nice if you don't even want to sleep with me."

"It's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to be so crowded," Liang Tan laughed, "The bed is too small, and you are a big wolf. Plus, the weather is very cold, so I can only curl up on your belly to keep warm, which is definitely not as comfortable as covering myself with tiger skin."

"You just don't want to sleep with me." Cui Ling insisted.

Although they are male protagonists from different worlds, they are very similar when they get angry. Liang Tan is now familiar with this kind of situation: "We can build it together."

Cui Ling: “?”

"With the tiger skin, you don't have to maintain your wolf form to keep warm. Just like now, the two of us can sleep in one bed, and it won't be crowded at all," Liang Tan said, and kissed him again. "It's my fault. I spoke without thinking and made you sad."

When the two of them were together, they were used to playing around. Liang Tan suddenly backed away again and again, and Cui Ling felt embarrassed: "...I forgive you."

Liang Tan chuckled and said, "Can you give me the leather?"

"It was originally yours." Cui Ling said this, but he still got up and lit the bonfire, then walked to the yard to pick up the tiger skin and looked at her seriously, "Liang Tan, are you willing to accept my tiger skin?"

Liang Tan looked at the tall man in front of him, and suddenly his cheeks became hot: "...I do."

Cui Ling raised the corners of his lips and solemnly handed the tiger skin to her.

The tiger skin was very heavy, and Liang Tan had difficulty holding it with both hands, but he still held it seriously.

"Then, from now on, we are true partners." Cui Ling said seriously.

Liang Tan met his dark green eyes and nodded unconsciously.

Cui Ling suddenly became more nervous: "Are you ready?"

"...What preparations?" Liang Tan also became nervous.

"Conclude the ceremony and be my woman." Cui Ling stared at her.

Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks flushed when he came to his senses: "Done, done."

"……it is good."

Cui Ling took a deep breath and walked towards her slowly.

Liang Tan's throat was dry and he couldn't help but close his eyes. But before he could kiss her, he was thrown onto the bed. When he opened his eyes again, Cui Ling had turned back into a wolf.

Liang Tan: “?”

"You have to use your original form!" The Big Bad Wolf looked at her seriously, "But since you don't have the ability to transform, just let me use my original form alone."

Liang Tan: “……?”

Liang Tan: “!!!”

After hearing Cui Ling's words, Liang Tan still didn't feel it was real, until he took on the form of a wolf... Liang Tan instantly exploded and kicked him directly.

Cui Ling didn't expect her to attack suddenly.

I didn't have time to resist and was kicked hard.

He groaned when he was kicked, and when he reacted, she had already dodged three meters away.

Cui Ling was immediately displeased: "Why are you running?"

"Why did you say I was running?" Liang Tan collapsed, "Change back to normal."

"What? Human?" The big wolf head frowned, "No, I have to use the beast form for the first time!"

Liang Tan swallowed his saliva and said, "Cui Ling, calm down a little, let's discuss this first."

"I don't understand why you don't agree. Everyone has gone through this before. Although you can't transform, I won't hurt you." Cui Ling said, raising his claws to support her shoulders.

Liang Tan was so scared that he squatted on the ground and held his head: "I just don't agree!"

Cui Ling's eyes darkened, and a wave of irritability suddenly surged in his body, ready to burst out of his heart at any time. He still didn't understand why she was so resistant to such an act of love.

Although her consent was not required, Cui Ling couldn't bear to see her squatting on the ground and shivering. After hesitating for a moment, he patted her shoulder.

His original intention was to comfort her, but as soon as he touched her, she looked up with horror, looking at him as if he were a stranger.

The fear in her eyes, which she had not had time to conceal, suddenly hurt Cui Ling's heart. As happy as she had been when she gave him the tiger skin just now, she felt as uncomfortable at this moment.

Liang Tan also realized that she had overreacted. Although Cui Ling was an orc and had a wild side, he would never hurt her. She cleared her throat and was about to explain, but Cui Ling turned around and lay down on the bed.

"Put out the fire and go to sleep." He said lightly.

...Just like that? Liang Tan's eyes flashed with hesitation. After hesitating for a long time, he came to the fire and put the homemade large round plate on the brazier. The room instantly became dark.

"Cui Ling?" she called him.

Cui Ling ignored her.

Liang Tan hesitated for a moment, remembering how he had pressed forward just now, and finally did not dare to move forward.

The night gradually deepened. The forest was colder at night than during the day. Although there was a house to shelter from the wind, the chill in the air was pervasive. Liang Tan sat blankly beside the extinguished fire, rubbing his arms from time to time, wondering when to go to bed.

Just when she was thinking seriously, the white wolf on the bed suddenly moved, and Liang Tan held her breath and became alert. After seeing him walking towards her, she panicked again. Just when she was about to say something, he walked straight past her.

Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had already lay down at the door.

"…It's okay, we can sleep together." Liang Tan mustered up the courage.

"Aren't you afraid that I will touch you?" Cui Ling was in a very bad mood and his words were full of sarcasm.

Liang Tan pursed his lips and said after a while: "The ground is cold..."

There was no rebuttal to his words. Cui Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and then he refused to pay attention to her. Liang Tan tried to persuade him for a while, but seeing that he still didn't speak, he gradually fell silent.

She continued to sit by the extinguished fire in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, she finally climbed onto the bed because she couldn't stand the cold of the night. There was hay on the bed, as well as a few rabbit skins that she had been given some time ago. Although it was far less warm than sleeping with Cui Ling, it could at least keep out the cold. Liang Tan couldn't resist the sleepiness and eventually fell asleep in uneasiness.

She had a nightmare, and she kept mumbling "no" in her dream. Cui Ling heard it clearly while lying on the ground, and therefore she did not sleep well that night.

The next morning, before Liang Tan woke up, he wandered around the tribe alone.

The orcs in the tribe were generally lazy when winter came. Although the sun had risen, most people had not yet gotten up. He was the only one in the empty tribe.

After wandering alone for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why Liang Tan was so resistant to the beast form formation, and his mood became even worse.

"Cui Ling!"

A familiar voice sounded, Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he looked in the direction of the voice: "Why did you get up so early?"

"It's still early?" Zhuang walked towards him with a smile, "I got up before dawn. I'm the most diligent orc in the tribe. By the way, why are you walking around here?"

"I didn't." Cui Ling denied.

A Zhuang didn't believe it: "Of course I didn't, I saw it several times."

Cui Ling remained silent.

"Did something happen?" A Zhuang asked curiously.

Cui Ling raised his eyes and looked at him. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "I have a friend."

"What's wrong?" A Zhuang perked up.

"His partner doesn't want to form a marriage with him in animal form." Cui Ling summarized it simply.

A Zhuang immediately showed sympathy: "Your friend is quite miserable."

Cui Ling: “…”

"But then again, if they don't want to form a beast, they are not considered a couple, and they can always find a new one," Zhuang patted his shoulder comfortingly, "I advise your friend to find a new one, because his partner obviously doesn't like him."

"How do you know you don't like it?" Cui Ling was displeased.

"Can it be considered love if you don't want to form a beast?" A Zhuang didn't understand.

Cui Ling was silent.

"The sooner we separate, the sooner we can live in peace. Orcs only have a few more years of prime time. We should change one while there is still time, so as to avoid trouble in the future..."

"He won't change." Cui Ling interrupted expressionlessly, then turned and left.

A Zhuang was puzzled: "Why are you so angry..."

Cui Ling went to the forest for a day and it was dark when he returned home. Liang Tan had just brought the dried tiger skin back to the house and greeted him when he saw him: "You're back."

Cui Ling closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Liang Tan rubbed his ears, whining and acting like a spoiled child. Seeing that he kept ignoring her, she simply lay on his back and gave in. Cui Ling was so annoyed by her that he finally couldn't stand it anymore and threw her on the bed.

Liang Tan turned over and got up with a smile. Just as she was about to speak, she heard him say coldly, "Aren't you tired of pretending to like me every day?"

Liang Tan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I've figured it out. You're willing to follow me, not because you like me, but because you're used to your current life and don't want to change," Cui Ling said, pausing for a moment, her voice a little sad. "I should have thought of it earlier. How could anyone like a wolf with strange fur?"

"Cui Ling..."

"But I won't break up with you," Cui Ling said, baring his teeth unconsciously after calming down. "You have taken my tiger skin, whether you like it or not, you have to be my partner. I can't cooperate with you like Ah Zhuang."

"Cui Ling..." Liang Tan had a headache and called him again.

However, Cui Ling didn't want to hear anything else she said, so he turned around and lay back on the ground.

Liang Tan called him several times, but he didn't respond. Gradually, Liang Tan stopped calling and the room became quiet again. However, both of them knew that the other was not asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Tan broke the silence again: "Cui Ling, let's talk."

Cui Ling heard the seriousness in her words and finally responded.

In the darkness, Liang Tan saw him looking up at her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She pursed her lips and said, "Cui Ling, I like you."

Cui Ling sneered, seemingly not believing it.

"...I can't accept this. I personally can't accept it. No matter who the other party is, I can't accept it. This has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the relationship between us. Do you understand?" She said she couldn't accept it three times. Cui Ling should have been even more upset, but she felt inexplicably calmer.

She said it had nothing to do with him, and had nothing to do with the relationship between them... What she meant was that there was love between them, so his previous speculation must have been wrong.

Liang Tan didn't know that Cui Ling would analyze his words for a long time. Seeing that he remained silent, he made up his mind for a moment: "Forget it, isn't it just a beast-shaped contract? Come on."

Cui Ling was stunned: "What's coming?"

"Hurry up, or I will regret it." Liang Tan closed his eyes and did not move.

The wolf had excellent night vision. Even in the dark, he could clearly see her frown and her expression of resistance. He couldn't help but get angry: "Who are you humiliating?"

"...Who humiliated you?" Liang Tan looked wronged.

"Do you want to go to the river and look at yourself?" Cui Ling mocked. Liang Tan opened his eyes speechlessly: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. What do you want to do?"

Cui Ling ignored her.

Liang Tan's heart suddenly turned cold: "If you really mind, why don't we just be friends."

Cui Ling stood up immediately and asked: "What does it mean to be friends?"

"That's... what you think," Liang Tan muttered softly, "Let's be friends, and you can find someone who can accept..."

"Liang Tan! Did you ignore what I said just now? I have already told you that I will never end our relationship with you, so you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible." Cui Ling's voice was heavy.

Liang Tan was helpless: "What should I do? If I don't end the relationship, you'll be unhappy. If I end the relationship, you'll be unhappy too. You'll be unhappy no matter what."

"I don't want to be happy." After Cui Ling said this, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. No matter how Liang Tan called him, he pretended not to hear him.
