Squatting in front of him, Yan Shengrui held his hand while looking at him with affection. Actually he had meant to say this a long time ago. The reason he didn’t speak it out was because of Xiaowen. This mouth, their food was good enough. Except breakfast, there was meat and fish for almost every meal. But Ling Jingxuan only grew a bit more delicate, but didn’t gain too much weight at all, which made him so worried. Although just now he only got a finger pricked, it had already lit up that wire lead he had suppressed for a long time. Anyhow, he would never allow him to wear himself out like this. What if some day…No, he couldn’t even think of it. Only thinking of it, his heart ached, only afraid that some day the hypothesis could come true.

“Haha... how can I be so delicate? I've been putting on some weight lately, didn’t you notice it? Look at all those muscles!”

After a short stunning, Ling Jingxuan reached out his left hand and pinched the muscles of his right arm with a smile. Now it was true he was thin, but he was not as weak as before. The unremitting exercise and hard work every day had strengthened his body, although he still looked a little slim.

“You call that muscles already?”

Glaring at him, Yan Shengrui suddenly tore open his upper clothes, showing his thick upper arms and patting it with slaps. “These are muscles. When you become like me one day, I will not worry about you.”

“Well...”

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Awkwardness crawled over his forehead. Ling Jingxuan already had no mood to appreciate his sexiness, making crazy twitches at the corner of his mouth. He wanted him to look like that? Not even possible in his next life, OK? It’s not that he had no confidence of himself, it’s just whether one could grow strong was also closely related to one’s skeleton. His skeleton was already small among men, plus so many years’ malnutrition, in this life, he could only grow a bit fatter at most, but could never reach Yan Shengrui’s level. Never!

“Jingxuan, tomorrow, let Gengniu go to inform Guarantor Liu. Let him bring some people home for you to select, OK? Then you don’t have to go into the mountains yourself. You can stay home to wash those wild fruit and make jam with mom.”

Pulling back the clothes, Yan Shengrui touched his face and said so. In a word, he was reluctant to see him work so hard.

“Fine, fine, I’ll let Gengniu go tomorrow, OK? If you keep saying, I’m afraid I’ll really become a porcelain doll. It’s about noon. Get back to work already!”

Unable to stand his focused eyes, Ling Jingxuan could only nod to agree, but as he made a gesture to stand up, he got pressed back by Yan Shengrui, “You sit and rest, I’ll go pick up wild fruit myself.”

Speaking of which, after throwing him a stern warning eye, Yan Shengrui turned around. Only a few leaps, he took their bamboo baskets and started to pick wild fruit not far from Ling Jingxuan. Ling Jingxuan who was sitting on the rock helplessly shook his head. He lowered his head to look at that still a bit painful finger, his lips curved into a sweet smile. It really felt not bad to have a man caring about him. In his previous life, he never had such blessing. Every time he got badly wounded, he’d nailed it all by himself. Except himself, no one had ever really cared about him.

Seeing that it seemed he really gave up standing up, Yan Shengrui felt relieved, and started to pick those scarlet wild fruit fast using two hands. But it seemed that he forgot it. How would Ling Jingxuan ever be sitting there idly? Taking advantage that he was not looking his way, Ling Jingxuan stood up, stretched himself, then walked to the bamboo baskets filled with wild fruit, picked up a sharp sickle and walked deeper into the mountains. To Yuehua Mountain, he had always held a lot of curiosity. For the sake of other’s safety, usually he wouldn’t go very deep. Today, since he got nothing to do, he decisively went deep inside.

After walking some distance, those wild grapes actually all disappeared, and another shocking picture came into his eyes, on some adult-thigh thick trees were hunt with all orange yellow plums, so thickly dotted. If not seeing it with his own eyes, Ling Jingxuan almost thought he was mistaken. It was like those trees were all planted by human hands. So unbelievable!

“It's sweet!”

Ling Jingxuan casually picked one and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and sour flavor made him have a shudder. It tasted even better than those grafted and high-producing ones in modern times. Although it wasn’t so crisp and tasty since it was overripe, it had some different mouthfeel. His long and thin phoenix eyes gradually narrowed into two crescent moons. Finally he found some good stuff that could replace the wild grapes to make jam! Besides, plums could also be used to brew wine, make jam, countless things!

“Growling...”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

As he was picturing how to use those wild fruit to the largest extent, beast’s deep and hoarse growl was heard. He suddenly opened his eyes and the hand holding the sickle tightened.

“Growling...”

Suddenly, a large boar jumped out from the woods opposite him and ran toward him, Ling Jingxuan, cursing in the mouth, turned to run instantly. Behind, the boar seemed strong, whose action was very agile and fast. The moment it was about catch up with him, Ling Jingxuan swayed his hand and some knockout drops was thrown at that boar.

“Growling...”

But only a moment, that boar rushed at him again, and it seemed a lot faster this time.

“Damn, not enough dose!”

Heaven knows how many years this boar had been living here, at least a few hundred jin! Ling Jingxuan’s knockout drops only targeted human and those middle and small size beasts, but it seemed it didn’t work on that boar at all. After realizing that, Ling Jingxuan gave up using poison directly. With turns and twists, he ran into the woods, and the boar was approaching behind. As it was about to catch up with him, Ling Jingxuan made a sudden turn and climbed onto a big tree.

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~

Instead of leaving, the crazy boar hit on the tree trunk with its body hard, like it was going to eat him today. Ling Jingxuan flashed some bloodthirsty feeling in the eyes, quickly accessing the possibility of fighting it face to face.

“Growling~”

Suddenly, another sharp and horrible howling rang out of thin air, under a second, a large, at least two meters long, all black, adult giant wolf whose forehead and four paws were snow white shot out. Seeing it, Ling Jingxuan suddenly remembered the two cubs and the mother wolf butchered by him, and then remembering the wild goat the two cubs brought back this morning, he almost sure that it was Dahei and Xiaohei’s father. It was he who taught the two cubs the hunting skills, and it was also he who caught that wild goat and sent it home for them.

“Growling...”

As if to verify his guess, the two cubs who had followed them into the mountains jumped out of the wood one after another, frisking toward that giant wolf. The giant wolf who was majestic-looking a moment ago now was like a common father, who lowered the head to lick on them, while the two cubs also made circles around him excitedly.

“Growl...”

The reunion of the father and sons was suddenly interrupted by others. The boar, which had been hitting the tree, had stopped and was howling at them.
