Chapter 256 An Awkward Partner
At this moment, Lu Xiao also took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes from his animal skin bag and handed them to the little red fluffy ball in his arms, "Here, you can have these too, go and share them with your friends!"
The silver fox clan includes not only silver foxes, but also a small number of red foxes, whose fiery red color resembles a ball of flame and is very eye-catching.
The little red ball of fur held the dried sweet potato in its two paws, barked happily at him a few times, and started circling around Lu Xiao, occasionally hooking his little leg with its fluffy tail, which made Lu Xiao dizzy with delight!
Lin Baiyan ruffled the fox cub's head a few times before putting him down on the ground. "Alright, go play with your friends."
Lu Xiao also nudged the little guy next to her.
Watching the little ones excitedly run towards their friends with pork jerky in their mouths, their steps wobbling like little rolling balls of fluff.
It's clear that the Silver Fox Clan has raised their cubs very well; each one is round and chubby, a delightful sight!
Lu Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if I'll be able to give birth to such an adorable baby!"
Looking at the genuine expectation on his face, Lin Baiyan leaned closer and nudged Lu Xiao's shoulder, "You and Xiong Fei have only had a short time of time together as a couple, and you're already thinking about having cubs?"
Lu Xiao replied matter-of-factly, "Of course! Male beastmen and sub-beastmen mate precisely to have offspring, right?"
Xiong Fei, who was slowly approaching from a distance, heard Lu Xiao's words and his eyes dimmed. He knew that Lu Xiao had only become his mate in order to have cubs.
Xiong Fei knew that Lu Xiao had been all alone all these years, and he really longed to have a cub of his own.
As for who she will have the cub with, Lu Xiao seems to have always acted as if she doesn't care.
Even when he confessed his feelings to Lu Xiao, his eyes showed more panic than joy.
Lin Baiyan looked at Xiong Fei, who was standing not far away, looking completely lost, and then at Lu Xiao, who was completely oblivious in front of him, and sighed deeply.
These two orcs, one seems carefree but has a very deep psychological defense, the other appears rugged and cheerful but is actually thoughtful and sensitive.
One can't bring themselves to say it, and the other doesn't dare to ask. This awkward situation is bound to cause problems sooner or later.
"Then you don't like Xiong Fei?" Looking at Xiong Fei not far away, Lin Baiyan suddenly smiled mischievously and said deliberately.
"If you don't like that, you can find a tiger-shaped or fox-shaped beastman as soon as possible. The cubs born from that will definitely be just as fluffy and cute!"
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan's words, Xiong Fei tensed up, fearing that Lu Xiao would be persuaded by Lin Baiyan and immediately throw him away.
Lu Xiao's eyes widened suddenly. "What did you say?" He hadn't even thought about changing partners!
Lin Baiyan continued to encourage him, "Don't you want to have a tiger cub or a fox cub? Just thinking about it would be so cute, wouldn't it?"
Without even thinking, Lu Xiao shook her head vigorously, "I don't want one, I just want a little bear cub!"
At the very back, Xiong Fei, who was feeling uneasy, widened his eyes upon hearing Lu Xiao's words, staring intently at the back of the sub-beastman.
Xiong Fei's heart was pounding, his eyes filled with anticipation. Lu Xiao's meaning was...
"Then let me introduce you to a bear-beastman again? Polar bear cubs are cute too!" Lin Baiyan pretended not to understand Lu Xiao's meaning and gave a new suggestion.
Lu Xiao still refused outright, "I don't like polar bear cubs, but brown bear cubs are cute!"
Seeing Lu Xiao's words blurted out unconsciously, Lin Baiyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Lu Xiao, do you like Xiong Fei that much?"
Lu Xiao was shocked and subconsciously retorted, "Who said I like him?"
Lin Baiyan spread her hands at him, looking at him innocently, "You're still being stubborn. I just said I'd introduce you to a tiger beastman and a fox beastman, but you didn't want to, saying you liked bear cubs. Then I said I'd introduce you to a polar bear beastman, but you still didn't want to, saying you liked brown bear cubs."
“Lu Xiao, why don’t you think about it carefully? Do you prefer a brown bear cub or a brown bear cub born from Xiong Fei?” Lin Baiyan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"You clearly like Xiong Fei!"
Lu Xiao looked bewildered. "Me? Do I like Xiong Fei?"
"This doesn't count as liking someone? Then think about it carefully. If it weren't Xiong Fei who asked you to be his partner, would you still have agreed?"
Lu Xiao subconsciously shook his head. He and Xiong Fei had already become partners, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to live, eat, and sleep with someone else.
"You just like him!" Lin Baiyan declared decisively, like a master of relationships.
"If you like someone, you should say it. How will others know if you don't tell them?" Lin Baiyan turned Lu Xiao around, and they met Xiong Fei, who was clenching his fists and looking nervous.
Lu Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and she turned her head to glare fiercely at Lin Baiyan.
That white flame!
Xiong Fei was right behind him, yet he didn't even warn him!
Lin Baiyan smiled and waved to Xiong Fei, "No need to thank me, you two have a good chat."
After saying that, he ran away without even glancing at Lu Xiao.
Xiong Fei, tall and burly, looked exceptionally fierce, but now he looked at Lu Xiao with a worried and aggrieved expression, "Don't you want me anymore?"
Lu Xiao shook her head subconsciously, "I didn't say that."
"But you don't like me!" Xiong Fei accused.
"I…"
The two were putting on a dramatic love story, which immediately attracted the attention of a Silver Fox Clan sub-beastman who was watching the cubs nearby. He glanced at them curiously, then glanced again.
Lu Xiao was speechless, so she simply grabbed Xiong Fei's hand and ran away.
Fox Ning, the sub-beastman, sighed with some regret. What a pity, he couldn't see the excitement.
Lu Xiao led Xiong Fei to a corner.
At this moment, all was quiet and deserted. Lu Xiao looked up at Xiong Fei's aggrieved eyes, opened his mouth several times, but could not utter a word.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that the person he had always lived with was Xiong Fei, and the future could only be with Xiong Fei.
So this must be what liking someone means, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiao smiled with relief.
"Xiong Fei, have I never told you? I like you."
