Nian Tu nodded.

Thinking that Lu Zhan seemed to be more innocent and conservative now, she changed into beast form.

A small milk tea-colored rabbit crawled out from under the clothes, its round eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Zhan was so cute that his breath was taken away.

After a long silence, he managed to maintain his sanity and firmly refused, "No."

Originally he was not in a hurry to bring Nian Tu to this small cave.

But seeing that she was so impatiently eyeing his herbs, he could no longer allow her to stay in the big cave where the herbs were stored.

What if her purpose was to steal the medicine? After getting what she wanted to steal, would she run away?

Lu Zhan's expression was slightly gloomy.

He wanted to make sure she could never steal it.

Nian Tu tilted his little head and witnessed all the changes in Lu Zhan's expression, scratching his face with his claws in confusion.

"...Can you really not sleep with me?" She whispered, "I'm scared to live alone."

This is half true and half false.

She was looking for an excuse to stay with Lu Zhan, but she was also really a little scared.

Although it is a tribe of orcs, everyone does not live close to each other. Once it gets dark, the whole cave will definitely be gloomy. It is also pitch black outside and no one can be seen.

Looking at the pitiful little rabbit, Lu Zhan's heart wavered.

He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to suppress the soft feeling in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm safe here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little rabbit, who was rejected again, burst into tears.

"!!!"

Lu Zhan panicked.

His mind went blank, and he lost the ability to think. He instinctively rushed over, hugged Nian Tu in his arms, stroked his fur to comfort him, "Don't cry, don't cry..."

"I'll do as you say," he abandoned his bottom line, "I'll do as you say."

All his insistence collapsed. He sat down beside the bed, put the little rabbit on his lap, and coaxed her almost humbly, "I want to live here with you, okay?"

This was not the first time Lu Zhan had seen female tears.

But this was the first time he felt heartache.

The little rabbit in my arms was soft and seemed to be trembling with sobs.

For a moment, Lu Zhan even felt that he was guilty of a heinous crime.

It was his fault. He shouldn't have bullied her and forced a timid little rabbit to live alone in this long-abandoned cold cave.

"I'll live with you," he promised again and again, lowering his voice. "Wait for me, I'll move my things over."

After some effort to comfort her, Nian Tu finally stopped sobbing.

She buried her head between the man's strong chest muscles and secretly gave a triumphant smile.

The big problem of sleeping was solved, and the only remaining problem was the injury on my foot.

The injuries sustained in human form will still exist in animal form.

The movement of rolling around while pretending to cry was a little too big, and Nian Tu accidentally pulled the wound, causing his two hind paws to hurt slightly.

Remembering the question that had been interrupted just now, she quickly asked again, "Ah Zhan, do you have any medicine to promote wound healing?"

If not, she would actually be able to mix it herself, but that would take some time, and she felt that Lu Zhan must have a ready-made ointment.

Just as she expected, Lu Zhan did have it in his hand.

But this made him alert again.

Medicine for treating trauma?

...Is this her goal?

He didn't expect Nian Tu to ask so directly, and was caught off guard.

If I don’t give it to her, I’m afraid she will cry again. If I give it to her, I’m afraid she will run away.

"What do you want that medicine for?" He narrowed his eyes, held the little rabbit in front of him with both hands, and carefully observed Nian Tu's expression.

If she really needed it, it wasn't impossible for him to give her the medicine.

But in exchange, the little rabbit had to stay and stay by his side obediently.

Nian Tu told the truth, "My feet are worn out."

Afraid that Lu Zhan wouldn't believe her, in order to make her words more convincing, she rolled over, turned into a human form, and stretched out her feet.

The two white little feet instantly attracted Lu Zhan's attention.

Nian Tu tiptoed and showed him several red scars.

In an instant, Lu Zhan felt his heart tighten.

"…When? Was it worn out on the way back?"

He was incoherent and stammering, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Thinking about how he walked in front, leaving only a cold back to the little female, the feeling of self-blame surged into his heart like a tide, drowning Lu Zhan.

He didn't care whether Nian Tu was wearing clothes or not, nor did he pay attention to the difference between men and women or his identity. He half-knelt in front of her and raised his hand to grab one of her feet.

That tender skin seemed like water could be squeezed out of it, as if the woman was spoiled and had never suffered any hardship, but at this moment, a few streaks of blood seeped out of it, piercing Lu Zhan's heart.

"I'm sorry," he said with a hoarse voice, bowing his head to apologize.

It's all his fault.

It was his fault. He was not thoughtful enough and took Nian Tu with him for such a long distance.

It was also his fault, for being careless and not noticing her injury in time.

He actually still doubted her and was reluctant to give her medicine.

"It's okay," Nian Tu retracted his foot and shook his head, "It's not your fault."

"It's my own problem, it has nothing to do with you."

Who would have thought that an adult female could wear out her feet just by walking that little distance?

In the tribe, this is simply a fantasy.

Even if you look across the entire continent, you won't find another person as fragile as her.

Nian Tu was explaining the facts seriously.

However, in Lu Zhan's eyes, her reaction seemed like she was disappointed in him and wanted to cut off ties with him.

He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a hand and was having difficulty breathing.

He didn't dare to think about it any further, and hurriedly got up and fetched a large pile of ointments for treating external injuries from the big cave as quickly as possible. He searched through them, picked out the best one, and carefully applied the ointment to Nian Tu.

The wound felt cool and comfortable, relieving the burning pain.

Nian Tu lay on the bed covered with a large piece of animal skin and turned back into a little rabbit.

As soon as she looked up, she met Lu Zhan's slightly pitiful eyes.

"What's the matter?" Nian Tu asked puzzledly.

Lu Zhan's aura was weakened a lot, "...Do you still want me to stay with you?"

In less than half an hour, the situation had completely reversed.

This time, it was no longer Nian Tu who insisted that he stay, but he was anxiously waiting for Nian Tu to decide whether to keep him or not.

Nian Tu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Of course!"

She got this by pretending to cry a few times!

Lu Zhanru was pardoned.

He was afraid that if he acted too late, Nian Tu would change his mind, so he hurried to the big cave to move things over.

There weren’t a lot of things, but they were all scattered around and there were no suitable containers to hold them. Lu Zhan ran back and forth many times, and kept busy until the sun went down.

Before going to bed, he was still worried and tossed and turned for a long time. Before Nian Tu fell asleep, he couldn't help but ask again, "Niannian, do you still want me to be your partner?"
