Chapter 110: Chapter 109
"You can touch it however you want; I don't mind." Nans responded with excitement and eagerness once he realized what was happening.
The little female was willing to get close to him, which was a good sign.
Of course, he was willing.
Not only willing, but he also couldn't wait.
"That's great." Si Lu smiled.
She stretched out her fair little hand and touched his long pink hair. It was soft, fluffy, and pleasant to the touch.
The pink hair in her palm made her hand look even whiter and smoother.
Si Lu really liked the pink.
It was so beautiful!
She smiled brightly and stroked the hair for a long time before reluctantly letting go.
"Thank you." Si Lu smiled at Nans as she sat back in her seat.
"Hmph, Lulu, touch my hair too. It feels good and looks great." Bai Di said as he shoved his long hair into Si Lu's hand.
Whether it was intentional or not, he placed a lock of his silvery-white hair right into the same palm that had just touched Nans' hair.
"Yes, yes, your hair is also beautiful, A Di. In fact, I like all of your hair." Si Lu played with Bai Di's long hair with one hand while nibbling on cherries with the other.
She looked thoroughly pleased.
"Here, have some roasted meat." Hei Yao said after grilling some meat. He broke it into small pieces with chopsticks and fed it to Si Lu.
"Yum! It's so good! This one has chili powder on it, right? It tastes different." Si Lu said with a mouthful, tasting the spicy flavor.
It was really delicious.
For the past few days, she felt like her taste buds had been bland and boring.
She didn't expect Hei Yao to be so thoughtful, noticing her cravings.
He knew to sprinkle chili powder on the grilled meat.
It was just perfect.
"I figured your taste buds might be dull, so I added a bit of chili. From the way you're eating, I can tell you like it." Hei Yao smiled warmly as he watched Si Lu eat happily, feeling equally content.
"Mmm, Yao, you're so kind and considerate." Si Lu said enthusiastically as she continued eating the roasted meat.
Hei Yao kept feeding her piece after piece.
"Alright, be good and eat your meat." Hei Yao smiled lovingly, his eyes filled with affection.
Seeing her eat with such joy made him happy too.
"Okay." Si Lu nodded while enjoying the meat, alternating between the roast and the cherries.
Um, she thought.
After all, they were taking such good care of her.
She felt like she might become a pampered slacker soon.
But honestly, it was easy to get lost in such indulgence.
"Lulu, I've also finished roasting some meat. Try it and tell me if you like it." Nans looked at Si Lu nervously as he handed over a piece of grilled meat.
He wasn't sure if she would like it.
After all, he had roasted it specifically for her, so he hesitated as he handed it over.
"Mmm, let me try. Thank you." Si Lu accepted the skewer but it was immediately taken by Hei Yao.
"I'll cut it into small pieces so you won't burn your mouth." Hei Yao said as he placed the skewer into a stone bowl and broke it into bite-sized pieces.
"Here, try it." Hei Yao offered a small piece to Si Lu.
"Mmm, let me taste it. Nans, make sure you eat too. I'm almost full." Si Lu said to Nans before turning to accept Hei Yao's feeding.
"Alright." Nans obediently nodded and sat back down to continue grilling meat.
"The flavor's good! If you added a bit more chili, it would be perfect!" Si Lu smiled as she commented on the taste.
"I'm glad you like it." Nans' face lit up with joy. Receiving her approval made him really happy.
Although he didn't know what chili was, he had seen Hei Yao sprinkle something red on the meat earlier.
He hadn't seen it before but wasn't surprised since Bai Di was a shaman and naturally knew about all kinds of unique plants.
"Try this one. It's the chili-spiced grilled meat, and the chili was picked by Bai Di. He said it's good for your health." Si Lu smiled as she spoke.
Since Bai Di was a shaman, a little white lie wouldn't hurt.
Besides, she could tell that Nans was simple and obedient—a good beastman.
He was similar to Bai Di in some ways, though not entirely.
Bai Di was slightly smarter and knew how to act cute, making her soften.
Of course, it might just be that Nans hadn't fully opened up yet.
It was hard to say.
For now, though, they seemed alike in some ways.
"Mmm, let me try it." Nans picked up the smallest piece and put it into his mouth.
The flavor was indeed different.
There was a spiciness to it.
But it felt exciting and new to him.
This new flavor was more stimulating than just seasoning with salt.
"If you ever want more chili, you can ask Bai Di. He has plenty." Si Lu said.
"Sure, it's really tasty. This is my first time trying such a unique flavor." Nans smiled.
"Here's more chili. If you want, just sprinkle it on your meat." Bai Di handed over a small bundle of chili powder wrapped in animal skin to Nans.
Of course, his face looked a bit displeased.
But Si Lu had spoken, and he couldn't be stingy.
Besides, with the little female sitting right there, he didn't want her to think he was a petty beastman.
"Thanks." Nans accepted the chili powder with joy.
This was what the little female liked to eat, and she had even asked Bai Di to share it with him. How wonderful!
This gesture of kindness filled him with satisfaction.
He felt content, as if her thoughtfulness was all he needed.
How could anyone not be moved by such a wonderful female?
Any normal beastman would surely fall for her.
"Lulu, try this. I've grilled some shrimp and even sprinkled chili on top. See if you like it." At that moment, Cheng Mo held out a skewer of grilled shrimp to Si Lu, anticipation written all over his face.
It was an idea that had come to him earlier.
He figured if they could grill meat and fish, why not shrimp?
And with Si Lu's love for chili, it had to taste great.
Now, he just hoped she would like it.
Si Lu looked down and saw the skewer of bright red shrimp right in front of her, each one strung neatly on a thin wooden stick.
They looked so beautifully grilled.
"Amos, you're too smart." Si Lu's eyes sparkled as she looked at Cheng Mo.
She hadn't even thought about grilling shrimp, but Cheng Mo did.
If that wasn't clever, what was?
