I've been transported to the orc continent.

After all the dishes were laid out, Bai Ling did not immediately pick up her chopsticks.

He first took out a lidded box, about the size of a palm, made of straw. The weaving technique was a bit rough, clearly the work of a beginner.

Yue looked at Bai Ling with a puzzled expression: "Ling, what is this?"

Bai Ling took Yue's hand and placed the box in it, her eyes filled with a gentle light: "This is a birthday present. In that world, when someone has a birthday, their friends and family will give them a birthday present."

"This is my birthday present for you. Do you like it?"

Yue opened her eyes wide, seemingly startled by Bai Ling's words.

A birthday present? What is that? Is it a gift that can only be given on a birthday?

He has never received a birthday present in his life. When his father and father were still at home, they would cook delicious food to celebrate his birthday. Not only him, but the whole tribe celebrated in this way.

So it's not allowed to give gifts on birthdays?

At this moment, Yue was more bewildered than surprised. He didn't even know what expression to make when facing Ling. He should have smiled and thanked Ling, but instead, he blankly accepted the gift box without even thinking of opening it. He just held the box tightly in his hands without saying a word.

Bai Ling waved a hand in front of Yue's eyes: "Yue, open the gift. I worked so hard to make this."

Yue hummed in agreement and slowly opened the box.

Then his eyes lit up.

Inside the box was a string of ornaments made of colorful stones and polished seashells. The stones were brightly colored, and the seashells were exquisitely polished. The whole ornament was very eye-catching. From the colors to the shapes of the stones and seashells, it was as if it had been placed right on the orc's heart.

The piece of jewelry was coiled around several times and placed in the box. It looked quite heavy. When Yue picked it up, she realized that it was larger and longer than ordinary jewelry.

The orc's largest ornament is the necklace that hangs around their neck, but this ornament is much longer than the necklace, and Yue is not sure where it is worn.

He then asked another question: "Ling, when did you do this? How come I didn't know?"

They were together almost every day, so how come he didn't notice Ling doing this at all?

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yes, I got up early this morning and made it in the cave where I keep my things at home."

Yue asked again, "These stones are very beautiful, and the seashells have been carefully polished. We can't rely on just the morning time."

Bai Ling replied, "I took apart the ornaments that other tribes gave me and put them back together to make this."

Yue asked her last question: "Where is this piece of jewelry worn? It doesn't look like a headdress, nor does it look like a necklace or bracelet."

Even though it was a simple question, Bai Ling's face inexplicably turned red. He was a little afraid to look into Yue's eyes again: "Yes, this is a waist chain."

Yue has an exceptionally good figure. The phrase "wasp waist, ape back, crane posture, and mantis shape" seems to have been created just for her. In her previous life, Bai Ling had never seen anyone with such a good figure, and in this life, the entire tribe could not find an orc with a better figure than Yue.

Yue's waist wasn't thin, but it was strong and slender. And because of years of hunting, there wasn't an ounce of excess fat on her body; she had the perfect inverted triangle physique. Last time, when Yue specifically tested her knife in the wild and fought the Red Horned Beast, she could turn in mid-air, which was almost entirely due to the power of her waist.

A slender yet powerful waist is perfectly complemented by a beautiful waist chain.

In fact, Bai Ling had another unspoken thought. It was winter now, and Yue was wrapped in a thick animal skin robe. In the summer, Yue would wear an animal skin skirt, and the waist chain that Bai Ling had given him would be on his body. The beautiful waist ornament would wrap around his slender waist. He wondered how handsome he would look!

A waist chain made of colorful stones and beautiful seashells was wrapped around a slender waist, and the skin with a jade-like luster was faintly visible under the chain... Bai Ling felt that his thoughts were a bit dangerous. He coughed lightly and pinched himself hard with the hand on his lap to stop his dangerous thoughts.

Of course, in Bai Ling's dangerous mind, this waist ornament could only be worn by him.

Yue didn't notice Bai Ling's strange behavior. He had an excited, joyful, and slightly shy smile on his face. He put his hands together and held up the whole waist chain. His icy blue eyes reflected an indescribable affection: "Well, I'll try it on and see if it looks good on my waist."

As she spoke, Yue stood up, but Bai Ling grabbed her sleeve and said, "Yue, you're wearing a thick robe right now, this doesn't look good on you. You'll look better in thinner clothes."

Yue sat down again, following Bai Ling's lead: "Then I'll wear it when the weather gets warmer and I wear the animal skin skirt."

How could Bai Ling let Yue wear this in front of others? He pinched his thumb hard to clear his mind: "Yue, this is a birthday present I gave you. Can we keep it a secret between us?"

Bai Ling's eyes were innocent, filled with concern for her friend, joy at sharing a secret, and a hint of temptation: "Yue, what do you say?"

Bai Ling had little resistance to Yue, and Yue had little resistance to Bai Ling. When Bai Ling looked at her with that kind of gaze, Yue naturally agreed without thinking: "Okay."

After agreeing, Yue came to her senses and realized what she had just promised.

The waist chain can only be worn in front of Ling, which means it has to be when the two of them are alone. Since it has to be when the two of them are alone, there must be no one else around...

Yue dared not let himself think any further. His face turned bright red, and he simply picked up his bowl and stopped talking.

Bai Ling put some meat and vegetables on Yue's plate: "Yue, don't just eat noodles. Put the vegetables and meat in your bowl and eat them together. It will taste better that way."

He gave a soft "hmm" and said nothing more, focusing only on his meal.

The noodles themselves seemed to have no flavor, but when mixed with meat and vegetables, they became a delicious dish he had never tasted before.

Once she took a bite, she wanted a second and a third. Yue couldn't stop eating and quickly finished the whole bowl of noodles.

Bai Ling immediately cooked more noodles. Freshly cooked noodles are the best. In order to let Yue eat the best noodles, Bai Ling had just cooked enough for two bowls.

As Bai Ling cooked the noodles, Yue obediently sat on the rock, her eyes fixed on Bai Ling.

Father once said that males are most beautiful when they are working for females. He didn't understand before, since they are the same person, why is there a difference between when they are beautiful and when they are not? But now he understands that when a male is wholeheartedly working for a female, that is the most beautiful moment in the female's eyes.
