Chapter 150 The Patient Guardian
Finally, it was time for Ruan Mianmian to make her appearance. Sen followed closely behind her, never leaving her side.
Ruan Mianmian walked lightly to the center of the cave, where a large, blazing fire illuminated the entire cave.
When everyone noticed her appearance, they all made way for her, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
With a smile on her face, Ruan Mianmian looked at the group of excited tribespeople in front of her and waved to them warmly, saying, "Dear tribespeople, today is a special day. Let us warmly welcome our friends from the Elephant Clan to join our big family! Now, please cheer to your hearts' content!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted inside the cave, the sound waves rising and falling, deafeningly loud.
The elephant herd's beastmen also deeply felt the warmth and friendliness of the Eastern tribe, and they responded to this friendly atmosphere in their own way without reservation.
"I won't say anything else, everyone have a good night and have fun!"
After saying that, Ruan Mianmian withdrew from the group. Although she was happy, she felt it was better to just observe the atmosphere rather than join in.
The orcs in her tribe knew her personality, and of course, they dared not do anything because of her status as their leader. They only cheered a few times when she left.
Ruan Mianmian knew her role in the tribe. Usually, for these kinds of celebrations, all she needed to do was say a few words of encouragement, and leave everything else to Zhi and Hui.
Yu watched as Ruan Mianmian left, and he silently followed behind.
Ruan Mianmian was actually very tired today. Now that she had completed her tasks for the day, all she wanted to do was lie down in her warm sleeping bag and sleep soundly.
As she climbed onto the earthen bed, she saw Yu follow her, so she smiled and said to Yu, "Yu, you've had a hard day too. I've finished eating and am about to rest. You should go and eat something. Sen is watching over me, so nothing will happen."
In Ruan Mianmian's view, accepting a snake is already a breakthrough, and she has no intention of dating a golden eagle for the time being.
Although orcs are a diverse group of races, and a female can have several males, that is only true for orcs in general.
As a time traveler, Ruan Mianmian was not from this world and was not yet so open-minded.
Although she said she wanted to pet the furry creatures, you can see that since she arrived, she's only ever petted the females a few times.
This makes her think she should find a male to sleep with, but she doesn't have the guts.
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, Yu's eyes darkened, and he said, "I'm full too. I'll stay here and watch over you if I have nothing else to do. Go and rest if you're sleepy."
Hearing his stubbornness, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but glance at Sen Hou before turning back into the tent.
The tent can shield most of the orcs' eyes, but it cannot shield their minds.
At least for now, the two males outside the tent can't stop them.
Ruan Mianmian tossed and turned in the tent, unable to sleep, her mind preoccupied with Yu and Sen's feelings for her.
She knew they both liked her, but she wasn't ready to accept them both at the same time.
She felt she needed more time to understand the world and what she truly wanted in her heart.
Ruan Mianmian, her head aching, tried to stop thinking about it and slowly closed her eyes.
I'm so tired today!
Sen and Yu gradually heard Ruan Mianmian's steady breathing outside. After exchanging a glance, they tacitly walked in the same direction.
The place was not far from Ruan Mianmian's tent, but it was secluded enough to avoid being discovered.
From this corner, they could observe Ruan Mianmian's tent while ensuring they wouldn't attract attention.
Sen broke the silence first, speaking softly, "Yu, I know what you're thinking. But as males, we should always protect females and respect their wishes, and we shouldn't force them to do anything. I hope you understand that."
After listening quietly to Sen's words, Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and reply, "I never intended to force her. As you can see, I only want to protect her silently. Is that not allowed?" His voice was full of helplessness.
"However, your protection has clearly caused her trouble."
Sen's expression became very serious, and his tone was firm and unquestionable.
Yu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but ultimately closed it, because he couldn't find a suitable reason to defend himself.
He lowered his head, lost in thought, his mind replaying every moment he spent with Ruan Mianmian.
Sen looked at Yu, sighed softly, reached out and gently patted Yu's shoulder, his tone full of emotion and understanding: "We all hope that she can find true happiness, don't we? Sometimes, learning to let go is also a kind of profound love."
Yu stood quietly, his eyes dim and lifeless. He remained silent for a long time, as if time had stood still.
Finally, he slowly nodded, as if he had made a difficult decision.
“Okay… I understand.” His voice revealed a hint of helplessness that he couldn’t hide. “But no matter what, I will silently protect her and never give up.”
Sen smiled slightly, his eyes shining with trust: "Of course I believe you. However, we must also respect her personal choice. If she really has no feelings for you, then we can't force her to pursue anything. After all, liking someone requires the joint effort of both parties."
Yu silently turned her head and looked at the tent where Ruan Mianmian was. She made up her mind that she must prove her true feelings for her with practical actions.
No matter how many difficulties and challenges he faces, he will never back down easily.
