Chapter 54: Shut Down
Good grief! Su Ran finally understood the werewolf’s meaning.
Because the wooden jar she made was similar to the thermos, both being things with a lid, the werewolf thought this jar was also a cup for drinking water.
And now, probably because Su Ran had a thermos but the werewolf didn’t, after seeing Su Ran make something similar, the werewolf’s childlike desire to have what others have began to stir.
Su Ran was covered in black lines, but she couldn’t bear to refuse.
Any girl facing a man with a slim waist, long legs, and a handsome face acting cute would probably find it hard to refuse its request…
Not to mention such a small request.
However, she looked at the wooden jar held in Hui’s hands.
If this jar were used as a water cup, it would be a bit too big!
Although her thermos wasn’t small, this one could even be used as a wooden bucket.
Afraid the werewolf would feel sadness, Su Ran didn’t take the wooden jar back from its hands first.
She searched on the withered tree that the werewolf had dragged back, and finally sawed off two slightly smaller pieces of wood.
Then she hollowed out the wood using the same method.
This time, hollowing out couldn’t be done by the werewolf using its claws, because the wood was too thin, and Hui’s big hands couldn’t reach deep inside to dig.
Su Ran used the file to sharpen the somewhat dull U-shaped bone knife, tossed one to Hui, and each took one to hollow out the two pieces of wood.
Then she used the bone knife to dig out the lid and cup mouth parts, covered it with the lid, held it in her hand and looked at it, nodding in satisfaction.
Then she took the big jar from Hui’s hands, and amid Hui’s gradually slowing tail wag speed action, shook her head at it and pointed to the jar in her hand: “This is a jar, not a cup. Hui can’t use it.”
After her words fell, the werewolf’s tail stopped wagging with a “whoosh.”
It stared fixedly at Su Ran, and on its clear-eyed face appeared an expression that seemed shocked yet sad.
It lowered its head to look at the big jar in Su Ran’s hand, then raised its head to look at Su Ran again.
Then, before Su Ran could say the next sentence, it suddenly turned its back, its whole body facing away from Su Ran, and its pair of big wings suddenly spread out, wrapping itself into a ball.
From behind, the feathers on that pair of wings seemed to be trembling slightly.
Su Ran: ……
I haven’t finished speaking yet!
Can you wait until I’m done before shutting down like that!
She hurriedly picked up the newly made wooden cup and ran to the werewolf’s front.
At this moment, seeing Su Ran appear in front of it, the sadness in the werewolf’s eyes deepened, but it refused to make a sound, its body moved and turned to another direction, its spread wings wrapping the entire werewolf even tighter.
This is too childish!
Su Ran was charmed by the werewolf’s action, holding back her laughter, and hurriedly followed the werewolf’s movement to the other side.
Then she reached out to pull apart the werewolf’s wings that were wrapped tightly in front, and met exactly the werewolf’s pair of aggrieved red eyes.
Aaaah!!! Is such a large-bodied one psychologically this fragile!
It actually got all teary-eyed over such a small matter!!
Looking at the werewolf’s bright red eyes, Su Ran’s heart couldn’t help but scream.
She hurriedly took one of the two cups she had just finished from her hand and stuffed it into the werewolf’s hand: “I haven’t finished yet! This one is Hui’s! The previous one was too big and couldn’t be used as a cup~”
As she spoke, she opened the lid on the cup to show it to the werewolf.
Hui carefully glanced at Su Ran while clutching the wooden cup Su Ran had stuffed into its hand, its expression softening a bit, but it still looked somewhat unhappy.
Its gaze drifted to the big jar on the side, its voice nasal: “Hui’s, small…”
Then it pointed to the jar nearby: “Big…”
You’re even being picky now…
Su Ran was speechless.
But she couldn’t really refuse Hui’s request over such a small matter.
All along, it had been Hui striving to meet her living needs, and she had never deliberately given it anything.
Even the little pants made from her clothes were made for it to make her own living environment more comfortable.
Now Hui just wanted a worthless wooden product, and if she didn’t give it, she would condemn herself.
Su Ran didn’t hesitate too long before reaching out to take the big jar from over there.
Worst case, make another one; there were plenty of raw materials anyway.
But before she could touch the wooden jar, she was suddenly stopped by Hui grabbing her action.
As soon as she turned her head, she was bewilderedly given a licking face ritual by the werewolf.
Afterward, the werewolf held the wooden cup Su Ran had just given it in its embrace like a treasure.
Hui’s eyes were still red, but its mood had improved a lot for some reason.
It picked up the other of the two cups made together, looked at it in its hand, then held up the one Su Ran had just given it and said to Su Ran: “Hui’s.”
Then it handed the other one to Su Ran, its gaze carrying some expectation: “Ran Ran’s?”
Su Ran was stunned, then seemed to guess the reason for the werewolf’s sudden mood change.
She coughed lightly and took the wooden cup from the werewolf: “Mm, this one is mine.”
As her words fell, Hui’s eyes lit up.
It reached out to clink the cup in its hand against Su Ran’s, looked down at the two cups pressed together, then looked up at Su Ran and grinned: “Ran Ran~”
Then it scooted closer to Su Ran’s side and rubbed against the side of Su Ran’s face twice: “Ran Ran, amazing!”
The werewolf’s expression was straightforward and sincere.
But Su Ran suddenly felt her heart skip a beat because of its straightforward expression.
She felt she hadn’t guessed wrong.
Hui probably saw the two cups as a pair, which was why it suddenly changed its mind and liked this small wooden cup.
So on the other hand, in Hui’s heart, she and it were already a pair…
Thinking of this, Su Ran couldn’t describe what thought was in her heart at this moment.
Neither like nor dislike, more like confusion.
Was she really going to spend the rest of her life with a beastman?
Could she really develop romantic feelings for a beastman?
Su Ran turned her head to look at the beastman sitting clingy beside her, and after a moment, silently sighed.
Thinking too much was useless; better to take it one step at a time.
She got up and walked to the campfire, pulled out a charred wooden stick from it, took it to the seaside, and extinguished the embers on it in the seawater.
Then she returned to Hui’s side and said to it: “Hui, give me the cup.”
But the werewolf looked at her outstretched hand in confusion, gripped the newly obtained cup tighter, and showed an innocent expression on its face: “Wu?”
