Ancient Eden

~End of chapter 62

Remembering how he had constantly smelled her body odor every night, and his abnormal behavior by the stream just now, a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind that she had heard from somewhere: “Animals in nature usually choose females to mate during estrus to ensure that the chance of reproduction is improved….”

Although she still didn’t know how he could grasp such subtle changes in her body so accurately, or why he acted so abnormally, her thought just now was the only reasonable explanation for his abnormal behavior at night during the past half a month.

Could it be that this man, who was living in a primitive jungle, still retained the original characteristics of male animals, and was seeing her as a female, as a means to reproduce?

In the dim night, Mu Qing stared at the man who was lying on his back and sleeping in disbelief, and it took her a lot of effort to resist her urge to kick him awake.

Chapter 63

(21.1)

Mu Qing’s mind stayed active until deep into the night, and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Just at this time, Li Mang turned over and put back his arm on her body in his sleep.

If it was before, she would not have thought anything of it, she would have felt it was heavy or hot, and she would have just gently removed his hand. But at this time, a slight feeling of rage came out from nowhere and she not only flung his arm back, with a puff of anger, but she also raised her foot and kicked him with force, to push him away.

Li Mang had always been vigilant when sleeping at night and would always wake up at the slightest movement. Being tossed by her like this, naturally he woke up at once. But how could he know what she was thinking in her mind at this moment? He only thought that she couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and that she was playing with him, so he mumbled a few words vaguely, turned over and pulled her back into his arms, before falling back asleep.

Mu Qing struggled in his arms, but seeing how he wasn’t moving, she suddenly felt defeated and helpless in her heart. Thinking about it, except the fact that he was treating her as a machine to give birth to children, during the past half a month with him, he had actually been very good to her, so good that sometimes he even made her feel protected and loved, that was something she had never felt before.

She couldn’t be too greedy and criticize the man next to her who was sleeping with his arms around her at this moment, wanting him to act exactly as she wanted. Even if she returned to her original civilized society, what man could meet and completely satisfy women’s standards for a man?

Thinking like this, it felt like the depression in Mu Qing’s heart was diluted a little, adding to that the fact that she was really a little sleepy, she yawned twice, closed her eyes in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

A small episode happened early the next morning, which made her a little surprised and also feel a little bit of regret. She was woken up by Li Mang beside her, who was exploring her body, and when she opened her eyes, she immediately remembered the bad thoughts in her mind again.

Although she had persuaded herself last night, when she saw his face at this moment, she somehow still felt angry in her heart, and pushed his hand away from her chest after snorting.

Li Mang was probably a little surprised, not knowing why she was suddenly hostile, and his entire face looked confused, as he retracted his hand in embarrassment. He watched her slightly frowning eyebrows in a daze.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Qing felt he was a little pitiful. Remembering that she had left her clothes outside to dry last night, she pushed him a little and pointed towards the outside of the curtain, while yelling something.

Li Mang understood, and immediately stood up and put the animal skin around his waist before going outside to get her clothes. When he came back in with a slightly bitter face, Mu Qing found that the shirt was dry after being hanged overnight, but tragically, her pants, because of the thickness of the fabric, were still damp, and regarding the shoes, it went without saying that they were still wet.

Li Mang knelt beside her and seeing that she seemed to look a little annoyed, he looked a little embarrassed, probably remembering that this was his own masterpiece last night.

Mu Qing examined her clothes, thinking in her mind that when the sun comes out later, the temperature would rise sharply, and so she just had to bask in the sun for a while. She estimated that it would dry in a short time. Thinking like this, she was about to put on her pants, but Li Mang beside her suddenly held her hand, took the snakeskin skirt that she had folded and put on the ground last time, and handed it to her, with a smile on his face, that looked like he was making amends for his past mistake.

Mu Qing looked at it and shook her head, before standing up and putting on her pants.

.

Li Mang looked a little disappointed, and sluggishly threw the skirt on the animal skin, which revealed the traces of stitching inside. Mu Qing quickly wanted to turn the skirt back, but Li Mang had already noticed the stitching.

He let out an exclamation of surprise and very quickly the skirt was in his hands, as he examined over the whole skin, seeing the clear marks that revealed that the snakeskin had been cut and mended. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
