Travel through the city of orcs

Ever since he and Claude confessed their feelings for each other, Cheng Chi felt different from before, and he couldn't explain his current mood. In short, it can be summed up in one sentence - he wants to laugh all the time.

I laugh when weeding flowers and weeds, when I make candy, and sometimes when I lean on the recliner and take a nap, I feel silly for no reason, not to mention seeing Claude, I seem to have a kind of joy that cannot be restrained.Although I feel that I am so stupid now, when Claude, who has always been facially paralyzed, grinned silly when he saw himself, Cheng Chi felt balanced. Anyway, even if others think he is a fool, there are still people who play against him. with it!

Cheng Chi and Claude are like other couples, dating, holding hands, and kissing. Claude's stay with Cheng Chi has also lengthened, and he thinks he has made a lot of contributions to the determination of the relationship between his father and Mr. Cheng Chi Ian is even more happy to see two adults getting bored with each other, and usually leaves the house in an empathetic way to play with his friends, giving them a space to be alone.

"When will we go to the creek in the dense forest again?" Cheng Chi, who was walking with Claude by the sea, turned his head and said to Claude.

"Hmm... okay," Claude responded by turning his head to look at Cheng Chi, but there was a special meaning in his eyes.

Cheng Chi, who was sure that Claude had lost his mind, glared at him angrily, "You're thinking about messy things again, I want to go to that stream to get that stone back," said Cheng Chi Chi was a little uncertain, "Hey, maybe you can't find it."

"Stone?" Claude's expression became a little puzzled.

"That's how big it is," Cheng Chi stretched out his hand to measure the size, "Like your eyes, dark green, very transparent and beautiful..."

Listening to Cheng Chi's description, Claude asked where he found it, nodded, and stretched out Cheng Chi's hand while saying, "Then let's look for it next time."

Suddenly being stopped by Claude in such a public place, Cheng Chi subconsciously turned his head and looked around, and he was relieved when he found no one.

"What's wrong with you?" Claude asked, who didn't quite understand Cheng Chi's reaction.

"Eh? Hey, it's not that," Cheng Chi gestured to the two holding hands, "Isn't it good to be seen by others?"

"What's wrong?" Claude felt that Cheng Chi's thoughts were really strange, "We have no shady relationship."

"Uh... That's right." Cheng Chi was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Up to now, Cheng Chi is still a little uncomfortable, just like Al's pregnancy. Sometimes Cheng Chi still feels that this is in the original world, so Two men holding hands in public seems to be a particularly weird thing.It seems that we have to work hard to change our minds, Cheng Chi told himself in his heart.

Interrupted by Claude's action, Cheng Chi didn't mention the matter of finding that stone again. Think about it, too. In that kind of open-air place, it's not sure whether you can find it tomorrow if you lose it today. It's all like this. It has been many days, and it may be trampled a few times by wild beasts running to drink water and buried in nowhere. In short, there must be little hope.

I don't know when it became a habit. Rupert sent Al to Cheng Chi every day before he went hunting, and picked him up from Cheng Chi when he came back from hunting.

At the beginning, Cheng Chi was not used to having a pregnant woman at home, so why was he so cautious that he would accidentally bump into Al's unrecognizable baby belly, and he got used to it after a long time.

As usual, Al stayed here with Cheng Chi, sitting in the garden and eating the pickled sour fruit Cheng Chi gave him while complaining, "Sometimes I even want to live with you, and when I get home Rupert will Nervous, can't do this, can't do that, can't touch, I'm going to be driven crazy by him!"

Cheng Chi looked at Al, who was complaining but still sweet, and rolled his eyes in disdain, "If your expression wasn't so sweet, I would really believe that you were complaining about Rupert's overly caring behavior .”

"Uh——" Al, who was choked by Cheng Chi, was silent for a while, and then said frankly, "Although it's good to be cared about by him like this, sometimes I really think he cares too much. I think he is careful. Too much."

Cheng Chi brought the snacks he had just made in front of Al, "Is this the first time you become a father, it's natural to be nervous." Cheng Chi had a friend in the past, and the reaction after knowing that he became a father made people crazy On average, I called my wife once every half an hour to ask about the condition of the child in my stomach. The nervousness made the friends around me shout unbearable.

Al's attention was diverted by the snack, so he stopped talking about this topic.

Claude, who arrived at Cheng Chi's house before Rupert, surprised Cheng Chi, "Where have you been, why is your hair wet?"

Claude scratched his hair indifferently, "It's a bit hot today, I took a bath in the creek," he said, and handed a piece of animal skin to Cheng Chi, "Here, I just found it while taking a bath. Still lying there."

Cheng Chi took it and opened it. It was the dark green stone that he wanted to find back at the beginning. He looked at Claude with surprise, "You really found it? I was afraid of being washed away by the water. What are you going for?"

Seeing Cheng Chi's surprised and delighted expression, Claude couldn't help reaching out and pinching his nose, "It's so big, how can it be washed away so easily..."

Before Cheng Chi could avoid Claude's movements, Al walked out while eating a snack and asked, "Why didn't Rupert come with you?"

Compared to Cheng Chi whose face suddenly turned red, Claude moved his hands away from Cheng Chi's face quite naturally, "He will put the prey home first and then come to pick you up," he said, turning his eyes to Cheng Chi again. "I'll go first too."

"Eh? Why did you leave?" Cheng Chi asked after hearing what Claude said.

Noticing the teasing expression of Al who was standing aside, Cheng Chi blushed again and added, "Today we agreed to make pork ribs with sauce for Ian, so why are you doing it alone? Let's eat together."

Hearing what Cheng Chi said, Al bumped into Cheng Chi's shoulder with a smirk, and looked at Claude winkingly, "Of course, the whole family should eat together..."

As soon as Ai Er said this, Cheng Chi blushed a little, he might as well not explain it!

Claude looked at Cheng Chi who was flushed with embarrassment, and his smile became brighter, "No, I have to prepare the leather products that will be sent to the market tomorrow. There are too many things," Claude thought about it at this point Thinking, then asked Cheng Chi, "I think, is it okay to let Ian stay with you tonight? I'm afraid I'll work too late at night and Ian won't be able to sleep well."

Cheng Chi nodded, "Of course, do you have a lot to do? Do you need my help?"

Claude originally reached out to touch Cheng Chi's face, but because of Al's presence, he finally just patted him on the shoulder, "No, I can handle it."

At Claude's insistence, Cheng Chi had no choice but to say a few words to Claude and then watched him turn and leave.

Turning around and preparing to go back to the room, Cheng Chi saw Al leaning against the door with a narrow smile on his face, and couldn't help but pat him, "Why are you smiling like this?"

Al followed Cheng Chi into the room, shrugged and said, "I can't help it, the atmosphere between you is so sweet, I can't help but get goosebumps."

Cheng Chi gave him an angry look, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, looking at Claude looking at you is so gentle that it will melt people," said Al, putting his arm on Cheng Chi's shoulder, and asked mysteriously, "I think, if I'm not here , you will have a kiss or something intimate, right?"

Hearing that Al's words became more and more out of order, Cheng Chi took his hand off his shoulder, "You mean you and Rupert, right?"

"Rupert and I are partners, kissing is normal," Al admitted indifferently, and then smiled secretly, "But aren't you still in the stage of falling in love? I said, when will you go?" Can the mayor apply to become an official partner?"

"Huh?" Cheng Chi didn't expect Ai Er to talk about this, and he was taken aback for a moment, "To be an official partner?"

"Of course!" Al saw Cheng Chi's bewildered look and couldn't help screaming, "My God, haven't you thought about it yet?"

"Uh..." This time it was Cheng Chi's turn to be choked by Al, and it took him a long time to wave his hand and say, "Now, I shouldn't be in a hurry." To be honest, Cheng Chi really didn't think about it. Whether Claude thought about it, he didn't know.

Al, who was not very satisfied with Cheng Chi's answer, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the knock on the door rang again. Cheng Chi heard the amnesty, and hurried to the door while saying, "I'm going to open the door, it should be Here comes Rupert."

As soon as he opened the door, it was indeed Rupert. When he saw Cheng Chi who opened the door, Rupert showed his white teeth, "Achi, how are you doing today?"

Cheng Chi smiled and let Rupert come in sideways, "Very good, how about you? How's your harvest in the dense forest today?"

"Not bad," Rupert replied as he walked towards Al, walked to Al's side and grabbed his waist and asked questions such as how his body was and how he was feeling before looking at the following Cheng Chi who walked in from behind said, "Ayer didn't cause you any trouble today, did he?"

"Of course not," Cheng Chi waved his hand, "I think it's more lively when Al is here."

"Of course it's lively with multiple people," Al said, grabbing the topic again, "so, why don't you hurry up and form an official partner with Claude, wouldn't it be more lively for the three of you to live together, and live in a house alone? How boring."

"Haha, yes," Rupert, who didn't understand the cause and effect, also smiled and nodded in agreement, "Claude is a good male. Speaking of which, he stayed in the creek in the dense forest for a day today and said he wanted to do it for you. Looking for something, he left before me, did he come to you? Did you find that thing?"

"Well," Cheng Chi nodded when he heard Rupert's words, thought about it and then asked, "He searched in the creek all day?"

Rupert nodded and replied, "Of course, we were hunting today, and he was looking for something in the creek. Fortunately, he found it, otherwise his feet would have been scratched for nothing..."

Cheng Chi interrupted Rupert's words, "Claude was injured? But I saw him walking normally just now, where did he hurt?"

"On the feet, there is still a lot of blood, but it's okay, we males are always strong." Rupert replied indifferently.

Hearing Rupert's answer, Cheng Chi frowned.

On the way home, Al elbowed Rupert's stomach, squinting and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What?" Rupert looked puzzled.

"Tell Achi about Claude's injury," Al snorted, "Claude is not as serious as you said, or you can let him go alone?"

"Hey, honey," Rupert put his arms around Al's waist carefully, "I hope they progress faster like you, Claude is my best friend, Chi is also a good female, Wouldn't it be great to get married earlier?"

"That's true..." Al nodded after hearing Rupert's explanation, "As friends, as friends who want to see them happy soon, of course we should help here."

"Of course..." Rupert nodded hurriedly.

So the young couple walked towards home while discussing how to promote Cheng Chi and Claude to become a couple as soon as possible.

On the other side, Cheng Chi, who knew the news of Claude's injury, began to roll up his sleeves to make dinner after sending Al and Rupert away, but his frowning brows never relaxed.

"Chi Chi, will Dad come to have dinner together later?" Ian, who was sweating profusely from playing with his friends outside, returned to Cheng Chi's house and threw himself on Cheng Chi's lap, who was busy in the kitchen, panting with his little head up asked.I don't know when Ian started calling Cheng Chi, from Mr. Cheng Chi to Uncle Cheng Chi, and now Chi Chi, and now Cheng Chi is used to this unique title of Ian.

Cheng Chi stopped what he was doing, and wiped the sweat off Ian's forehead, "Daddy has something to do today, so he won't have dinner with us. Ian will sleep with me today, okay?"

Hearing Cheng Chi's explanation, Ian nodded, "Will Chi Chi make sauced pork ribs for me today?"

Looking at Ian's bright eyes, Cheng Chi smiled and scratched his little nose, "Of course, but the premise is that Ian cleans himself up. Your face and hands are dirty when you play with your friends. Xi's."

"Wow, that's great!" Ian cheered, turned around and ran towards the bathroom with his calves, "I'm going to wash my face and hands, and Chichi will prepare a lot of sauced pork ribs for me to eat!"

"I said that Chi Chi will make super super delicious sauced pork ribs!" Ian, who was eating sauce all over his face, gave Cheng Chi who was sitting opposite him a thumbs up, and said vaguely with a puffy mouth, "I said to Jie Rom and Fix didn't believe it, hey, I won't lie! Chi Chi, don't you think so?"

"Got it," Cheng Chi smiled and wiped the sauce off Ian's mouth with a towel, and understood the hidden meaning of Ian's words well, "Next time you invite them here, I'll make the sauce Give them the ribs and let them know little Ian can't lie."

"Of course, I'm an honest and good male." Ian nodded after receiving a satisfactory answer, and said solemnly with his small chest out.

Cheng Chi was thoroughly amused by that 'good male', the kid who is a little bit older is a male!

After dinner, Ian, who was exhausted from playing for a day, quickly fell asleep after Cheng Chi helped him take a bath. Cheng Chi, who crept out of Ian's room, stood in the corridor for a while and then turned back to his room to pick up his things and left. home.

"Why are you here?" Claude was surprised to see Cheng Chi standing in front of him after opening the door.

"Let's see how you're doing," Cheng Chi stuffed the pot into Claude's arms and walked straight into the house.

"Hey, Chi..." Claude couldn't stop him, so he had to follow Cheng Chi into the house.

"Didn't you say that you want to prepare the leather products that will be brought to the market tomorrow? Are you ready so soon?" Cheng Chi looked at the clean room and turned his head to look at Claude who was standing not far from him. asked lightly.

Seeing Cheng Chi who was obviously angry, Claude put the pot on the table, walked up to hold Cheng Chi's hand, "Achi..."

"Is that why you can't trust me?" Cheng Chi avoided Claude, looking straight into his eyes and asked.

"Of course not," Claude denied without thinking, "What's wrong with you?"

Claude's last sentence made Cheng Chi furious, "What's wrong with me or what's wrong with you? Obviously I searched for the whole day in the creek but said lightly that I found it by accident while taking a bath, obviously because I was looking for that Something cut my foot, but told me to prepare something for tomorrow's market, why? Don't you say that you are great if you do it silently? Let me tell you, Claude, I don't need you to protect me The flowers in the greenhouse that can't stand any wind and rain, I need you to do everything for me, I just need to enjoy the fruits..."

Seeing Cheng Chi who was getting more and more excited, Claude hugged him, gently stroked his back and whispered in Cheng Chi's ear, "Of course, of course, I know you are very independent, I I know you are capable, I know you are not one of those delicate females who need to depend on others to live. But please believe me, I have no other meaning in doing this, I just don't want you to worry, no other meaning, really , don't be mad at me, darling..."

Listening to Claude's comforting words, Cheng Chi's heaving chest slowly calmed down, and he used his hands to spread the distance between himself and Claude. Cheng Chi said, "Let me see your wound."

Claude hesitated for a moment, seeing that Cheng Chi, who was finally comforted by himself, finally obediently walked to the floor covered with hemp mats and asked Cheng Chi to check his wound.

Looking at the deep wound on the sole of Claude's foot, Cheng Chi's expression changed, "Why is the wound so deep? What exactly did you get scratched by?"

"It's just the stone flakes at the bottom of the stream. It's really nothing." Claude saw Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, so he quickly took Cheng Chi's hand and said, "It's really nothing. It's a small thing for us males." The injury will be healed in two days, sometimes it is much worse in the dense forest than this, I don’t believe you can ask Rupert, really.”

Looking at the swearing Claude, Cheng Chi finally swallowed the words in his mouth, took out the ointment that Lei Boding gave last time, and carefully applied it to Claude.

Looking at Cheng Chi who was carefully smearing his wounds, Claude didn't realize how gentle he was looking at Cheng Chi at this moment.

"Don't do this next time. It's not something particularly important. It's not worth your effort to find it," Cheng Chi, who was silent for a while, said softly while treating Claude's wound. Don't hide things from me, trust me, this kind of feeling of knowing your affairs from other people afterwards makes me very uncomfortable, no matter what. If you believe me, I have the ability to face and bear with you, then such Don't let it happen a second time."

Facing the eyes of Cheng Chi who looked up at him at the end, Claude smiled softly, "Got it."
