When Beauty Meets Beasts

657 You Guys Are Enough

Huanhuan was immersed in the sea of knowledge and did not notice the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

She came out of the learning space and opened her eyes to find Yun Hui standing by the bed, looking down at her.

He was giving her a strange look.

Huanhuan immediately sat up and tugged at her skirt. “Why are you looking at me?”

“It’s nothing. I didn’t see you for a few days. I thought you were sick, so I came to see you.”

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling knew that she had entered the learning space, so they were very at ease. However, Yun Hui did not know about the learning space. When he saw that she was unconscious, he thought that something was wrong with her body.

Huanhuan noticed the black marks under his eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me you haven’t been sleeping and have been by my bed?”

“No.”

Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad that’s the case…”

If he had been guarding her here, she would definitely suspect that he had taken a fancy to her.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the case.

Before she could completely feel relieved, she heard Yun Hui continue, “I stayed by your bed during the day and outside the door at night.”

Because Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling took turns sleeping with her every night, they didn’t allow Yun Hui to stay by her bed at night.

After all, it was terrifying to be sleeping with someone awake standing by the side of the bed.

Hence, Yun Hui could only settle for the next best thing and guard the door.

Huanhuan: “…”

She felt that things were taking a wrong turn.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Yun Hui asked her if she was hungry.

Huanhuan felt that this was a good excuse to escape and quickly said, “I’ll look for Bai Di now and ask him to get me something to eat.”

However, before she could jump to the ground, Yun Hui caught her steadily.

“You haven’t eaten in days. You must be weak. I’ll carry you to him.”

Huanhuan was very surprised. She did not expect this blockhead, who was usually silent, to be so considerate at this moment.

She reached out and patted Yun Hui’s shoulder, instructing him earnestly, “If you put this kind of effort in pursuing other females, I guarantee you’ll definitely win the hearts of many girls in the future!”

“I don’t need their hearts.”

“Then whose heart do you want?” As soon as she said this, Huanhuan wished she could slap herself.

She had touched a sore spot! What a big mouth!

Before Yun Hui could answer, Huanhuan continued, “You’re still young. It’s not the time to consider these things. When you’re older and have more experience, you can start to consider these things. You have to meet more outstanding girls in the meantime.”

Yun Hui didn’t say anything when he heard this. He just looked at her deeply.

This glance seemed to see through all her thoughts.

Huanhuan felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze.

She looked away and pretended to look up at the ceiling.

When Yun Hui carried Huanhuan to Bai Di, he was checking the sea map.

Huanhuan patted Yun Hui’s arm and whispered, “Let me down.”

Yun Hui didn’t move.

Huanhuan thought he didn’t hear her and raised her voice to repeat what she had just said.

Bai Di looked up at them.

“Why are you here?”

Huanhuan extended her arms to him. “Hug.”

Bai Di immediately put down the map, got up, and walked over to take her in his arms.

Now, even if Yun Hui didn’t want to let go, he could only do so.

Bai Di weighed her. “You feel lighter again. Have you lost weight?”

Huanhuan touched her chin and smiled happily. “It’s good to lose weight.”

“What’s so good about it? You’re so skinny that it makes my heart ache. You’re cuter when you’re fat.”

Huanhuan despised his aesthetics. She pouted and said, “I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat on the ship?”

“There are still some pancakes in the kitchen. I’ll heat them up for you.”

“Mhm.”

Bai Di nodded slightly, then carried Huanhuan toward the kitchen, leaving Yun Hui standing alone.

Yun Hui watched them walk away until their backs disappeared around the corner. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked down at his hands. He kept reminiscing about the feeling of hugging the little female.

She was light, soft, and smelled faintly of vegetation.

…

Huanhuan sat on the stool and swung her fair legs. She held a hot pancake in her hand and ate it with relish.

Bai Di handed her the seafood soup.

There was not much else at sea, but there was a lot of seafood. Every day, they could casually cast a net and scoop up a large group of fish, prawns, and crabs.

A dish that would definitely appear every day at the dining table was seafood chowder.

At first, everyone ate happily, but no matter how delicious the food was, they could not take eating the same dish three meals a day. After ten days, everyone was almost tired of eating it. Only Huanhuan, who had been in the learning space and had not eaten, still thought that the seafood was delicious!

One shouldn’t ask her why she could still be alive and kicking after not eating or drinking for ten days. She couldn’t explain this principle herself.

Perhaps it had something to do with her special physique.

When she was almost done, Bai Di asked, “I saw Yun Hui carrying you just now. He—”

“He just carried me over out of convenience.” Huanhuan quickly clarified. “There’s nothing between us. There’s no ambiguity at all!”

“Oh…”

“You don’t believe me?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” He stroked her head. “I just want to tell you to let me know in advance if you fancy anyone. I have to make arrangements.”

“What arrangements?” Huanhuan frowned. “Are you going to help me make a bedtime schedule? The four of you are enough for me. I don’t want anyone else.”

“I thought that since your attitude toward Yun Hui is different, perhaps you’ll—”

“It’s not different. It’s just because he saved me before. I treat him as a friend and family. Logically speaking, I had to get him back. It has nothing to do with romantic feelings.”

Bai Di studied her expression and chuckled when he saw that she really had no other thoughts about Yun Hui. “I guess I was overthinking it.”

Huanhuan put down the bowl in her hand. “Speaking of which, aren’t you jealous when you see how close I am to Little Black?”

If it were Shuang Yun and Xue Ling, they would have been extremely jealous.

Only Bai Di could remain calm.

Bai Di took the empty bowl and gently wiped her mouth. “I want to protect you more than I want to be jealous. If Yun Hui joining the family makes you safer, I’ll be happy to accept him.”

Huanhuan approached his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“I’m not a princess or a queen. Why would I need so many people to protect me? The four of you are enough.”

“Four isn’t enough…”

“You guys are enough.” Huanhuan planned the future seriously. “After we go back, we’ll get Sang Ye back and our family can live peacefully in Rock City. With all of your ability, you’re completely enough to support this big family.”

Bai Di rested his chin on the top of her head, his gaze unpredictable. “There are many things in this world that aren’t as simple as you think.”
