"Go to sleep." Searle sat beside her and stroked Xia Ling's hair by her ear.

Xia Ling slept very comfortably.
When she woke up, she smelled the aroma of food.
Before she could get up, a handsome orc youth with a black face came in with a soup pot in his hand.
The soup pot was hot, and it smelled like fish soup.
Xia Ling, who was famished, smelled the aroma and her stomach growled.
"I made it myself. I saw you make it for me before, so I tried it. Sister, try it."
The young man's slender fingers held a spoon, and he scooped out the soup from the pot and placed it in front of Xia Ling.
"Sister, drink it while it's hot. It won't be so fishy."
His dark green eyes stared at Xia Ling, a little nervously, but also a little expectant.
The soup was also milky white in color, and Searle had obviously cooked it for a long time.
"It looks very delicious." Xia Ling smiled. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and scooped it up in the bamboo tube, a little surprised.
"This is crucian carp soup?"
Crucian carp had always been famous for having many thorns.
Although the meat was very tender, there were countless small spines in it. Usually, after boiling the soup, one could only take a few bites before it was thrown away.
However, the crucian carp soup in front of Xia Ling was very complete, and it did not even have a single bone?
"Mm." Searle's dark green eyes had a hint of a smile. "It's good that sister is happy to eat it."
A crucian carp was one inch long, and the spines in it covered the entire body of the fish.
And with so many spines, Searle actually picked out the spines bit by bit?
"Searle! This is too troublesome." Xia Ling's eyes were soft as she looked at him.
Searle's heart for her had always been clear and open in front of her.
"As long as sister likes it." Searle's smile was still bright. "It's rare for me to cook a meal for sister. Sister, quickly taste it."
Xia Ling: "Okay."
She picked up the bamboo, blew on the hot air, and took a sip.
Although the fish soup did not taste very good, it was not so difficult to swallow.
"It's good!" Xia Ling looked at Searle. "You can sit here and drink some."
"I've already eaten. " Searle sat beside her and carefully blew on the fish soup for her.
He took care of her like a little cub.
Xia Ling looked at the sky outside. Before she went to sleep, the sky was dark.
However, when she woke up, the sky outside was already dark again.
"Searle, when they were hunting in the morning, you weren't there. After they came back, no one asked us?"
If people found out that the two of them ran out last night, it would be embarrassing!
"Well, they've all been here." Searle blew on the fish soup and blew on it to cool it down. Then, he handed the bamboo section to Xia Ling. "In the morning, the clan leader came to call me to hunt, but he found that the two of us weren't there."
Xia Ling: "They?"
"Yes, Lance, Xiong Er, Lan Yi is here too. When we came back, they all came to visit. You were still asleep, so I didn't disturb you."
Hearing Searle mention so many orc names, Xia Ling had a bad feeling. Sure enough...
Half of the tribe came to visit her?
Searle looked at Xia Ling with a smile on his thin lips. The young man's blue eyes were a little deep.
