Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

"But An An, you clearly touched my head to propose to me just now?" Zi Lie's original happiness from An Ruchu's touching his head had disappeared, replaced by endless panic.

"First of all, I touched your head because I thought you were cute. Secondly, I lost my memory and I didn't know that touching a male's head meant courtship. Finally, I don't like you either and I won't be a partner with you. To sum up, my touching your head was just a misunderstanding and I hope you don't think too much about it." An Ruchu sighed and immediately cut off Zilie's thoughts.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it now. Maybe you will like it slowly in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't want to accept the animal skins. I will catch more powerful beasts in the future and give you the best animal skins." Zilie forced a smile towards An Ruchu, and then, afraid that An Ruchu would say something to refuse, he turned around and left disappointed.

Looking at Zilie's shaky back, although An Ruochu didn't want to see Zilie like this, she felt that it was better to explain it quickly rather than let him misunderstand her all the time.

Although Xiao Feng in the distance did not get close to An Ruochu and the others, the orcs' hearing was extraordinary, so their conversation was clearly heard by him.

Only then did he realize that it was Zilie who forced the animal skin on An Ruochu, and things were not at all as he thought.

It was him who misunderstood.

Xiao Feng stood there, unable to move a step as if he was carrying a weight of 100,000 jin on his feet. His throat also seemed to be blocked, unable to make a sound.

He knew he should apologize to An Ruochu. But could An Ruochu still forgive him? An Ruochu had clearly explained it to him. He was caught up in his own imagination and not only did he not listen, he even said something very harsh to her.

Everything he said to An Ruchu at that time came back to his mind one by one. Thinking of what he had said, Xiao Feng just wanted to go back and beat himself to death.

An Ruochu was afraid that he would never forgive himself. As expected, he did not deserve love. He had his own love before, a love that was as selfless as Granny Mori's. But now he had lost it with his own hands. Xiaofeng laughed mockingly.

"An An, don't touch the head of a male casually next time. Zilie likes you, it's just a misunderstanding at most, it's okay after you explain it. But if you suddenly touch someone else and they don't like you, won't they be mean to you if they have a bad temper?" Zhuo Ya kept talking to An Ruochu as if she was teaching a junior.

An Ruochu could only accept Zhuoya's criticism humbly. After all, she was indeed bewitched. She was stunned after touching herself. Why didn't she control her hands and ended up making a big mistake.

Fortunately, Zhuoya’s lesson did not last long. After a while, Kant and Grandma Sen arrived, and the bonfire party officially began.

"Everyone, the first thing we are doing at the bonfire banquet today is to celebrate An An joining our tribe. The second thing is to celebrate Xiao Feng's recovery from his injury. The third thing is that Granny Mori and I rearranged everyone's tasks based on An An's suggestion."

Everyone sat around the campfire, listening carefully to Kant's explanation of the task arrangement.

Zhuo Ya didn't know about the conflict between An Ruochu and Xiaofeng at this time. She happily pulled An Ruochu to sit next to Xiaofeng.

Seeing An Ruochu walking towards him, Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. He nervously avoided looking at An Ruochu. But seeing An Ruochu sitting next to Zhuoya with a look of rejection and despair on her face.

Does she hate me already?

The light that had just been flickering in Xiaofeng's eyes immediately disappeared, and he pursed his lips tightly.

"Huh? Brother, you can actually use chopsticks? And you're so good at it?" Zhuo Ya looked at Xiao Feng in surprise.

Seeing An Ruochu pick up the food with two small sticks without getting her hands dirty, she was curious and wanted to try it, so she pestered An Ruochu to teach her. But after learning for a long time, she could only pick up the food crookedly. But now she saw that her brother could use chopsticks as steadily as An Ruochu.

Xiao Feng was stunned, and looked at An Ruochu, remembering the time she taught him how to use chopsticks. It seemed that An Ruochu's scent was still lingering in his nose.

"Brother, let me tell you, the dishes you are eating now are all made by Sister Li Yu whom An An taught. An An can cook everything." Zhuo Ya struggled to pick up a piece of black fruit for Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng didn't say anything. He knew that the new foods in the tribe were brought by An Ruchu.

An Ruochu looked at the sky from the side, as if it had nothing to do with her. Neither of them spoke, so that the only person who kept talking to Xiaofeng about An Ruochu was Zhuoya.

When An Ruochu heard Zhuoya talking about the embarrassing things that happened when she was collecting, she wanted to go up and cover her mouth.

Xiao Feng was originally immersed in his own world and didn't care what Zhuo Ya said. However, as Zhuo Ya talked more and more, he gradually became curious about An Ruchu's affairs.

An Ruochu looked at the brother and sister, one talking happily and the other listening happily, and walked away with a gloomy face, taking her roasted black fruit skewers.

People kept greeting her as she walked along the street. An Ruochu could only smile and nod, trying to show her kindness as much as possible.

Finally finding a deserted place, An Ruochu sat on a big log, watching with relish the crowd gathering around the campfire, singing some songs she couldn't understand, and suddenly she felt someone sitting next to her.

"The party is so lively, why did you find a place where no one is?"

"It's just too lively. Oh, I thought you needed a female like me to stay away from you." After An Ruochu turned around and saw who was coming, her voice immediately turned cold.

Wasn't this guy just laughing happily with Zhuo Ya? How come he came here so quickly?

Seeing An Ruchu being so friendly to everyone else along the way but changing his attitude towards himself, Xiao Feng felt a dull pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry about what happened during the day. I didn't listen to your explanation and misunderstood you." Xiao Feng pursed his lips but still mustered up the courage to apologize to An Ruchu.

"Oh, I see. Anything else?" An Ruochu looked at the awkward look on his face and thought he was a very strange person. He didn't care about anything when he got angry and didn't listen to anyone's explanation. But now he came to apologize to her. Can an apology lead to forgiveness?

Seeing that the other person still had a thorny look, Xiao Feng knew that An Ruochu had not forgiven him. He could only continue to speak: "You... all your things have been taken away. Aren't you going back to the cave tonight?" After saying that, Xiao Feng looked at An Ruochu expectantly, trying to hear the answer he wanted from her mouth. But the result was destined to disappoint him.

"No, I've found a good place, so you don't have to worry about where a female like me will live." An Ruochu rolled his eyes at Xiaofeng, emphasizing the word "such a female". An Ruochu didn't want to pay attention to him, so he just left.

Looking at An Ruochu's back, Xiao Feng reached out his hand to hold her, wanting to ask her if she could not move away, but he knew that he had no reason to keep her. His outstretched hand fell down weakly.

If he hadn't misunderstood An Ruchu, perhaps she wouldn't have moved away.

After An Ruochu left Xiaofeng, she returned to the crowd. The black fruit she roasted was well received and was eaten up by the females in a short while. Some males also wanted to try it after smelling the taste, but the number of black fruits was limited, so only males with partners were given two pieces by their females.

The male who got the black fruit took the roasted black fruit slices and showed them to the single orcs. After arousing the envy of everyone, he ate them contentedly.

The orc who had given fruit to An Ruochu before, sitting not far from An Ruochu, couldn't help but wonder, if he and An Ruochu would be as sweet after they became partners?

"An An, where did you go just now? The meat is almost eaten up." Zhuo Ya said vaguely while holding the barbecue.

"You'd better eat quickly! I'm not you, a greedy little pig." An Ruochu said with a smile while pinching Zhuoya's bulging cheeks.
