In Si Lu's heart, she couldn't help but think, feeling a bit regretful at the same time.
What a pure and beautiful young boy... and yet, who would have thought...
"Was it you who saved me? Thank you. Where is this place?" Si Lu shook her slightly dizzy head. She felt weak all over, sore, and without strength.
Wait a minute. She remembered that before she fainted, she had met a handsome man with striking features. Now that she had woken up, there was a pure and beautiful boy in front of her!
"Little female, my name is Bai Di. There's no need to be so polite with me. Saving you is my duty. I'm a healer, and this is the middle part of the Beastman Forest," Bai Di said with delight.
She woke up!
That's great!
But seeing how weak she looked, he couldn't help but worry.
For some reason, seeing her awake made him happy. Her opened eyes were full of life, a sight he liked very much.
So, this is what she looks like when awake.
She's truly beautiful.
The way she looked at him when she woke up made him feel even more joyful. But when he saw the hint of pity and sympathy in her eyes, it stirred strange feelings inside him.
In the past, every beastman who saw him despised him. But she… her gaze was different.
For the first time, he felt sympathy and concern.
Although she hadn't said much, he could feel her kindness.
She was a kind female, unlike any other he had ever met.
This made Bai Di's heart race even more.
"Mmm, can you tell me what's going on now?"
"I remember running to this place, and then I saw a handsome beastman with striking features. After that, I fainted. I don't know what happened next. Can you tell me what happened afterward?" Si Lu slowly sat up.
Every movement was slow, showing how weak she was.
Bai Di was surprised by her words.
He originally thought she had been taken by that rogue beastman, but it turned out she had been rescued.
It seemed not all rogue beasts were bad.
"Alright. I don't know much, but I'll tell you everything I do know."
"Last night, I was in the tribe, and the rogue beastman, the handsome one you saw, he caught me and brought me here. He asked me to treat you because you were burning up with fever, shivering from the cold, and hadn't woken up for an entire day and night. He was really worried. After caring for you all night, you finally woke up."
"Actually, there's nothing seriously wrong with you. You were just exhausted, scared, and had overexerted yourself. That's why you had a high fever. You've already recovered. As long as I'm here, I'll take care of you. There's no need to worry."
"That rogue beastman doesn't seem like others. Last night, he was genuinely worried about you. He's out hunting now," Bai Di said seriously, his voice calm and reassuring.
"Thank you for your hard work last night. Um, did he involve any other beastmen when he captured you?" Si Lu frowned slightly.
Even though that beastman was concerned about her, she still felt guilty if he had harmed other beastmen because of her.
After all, this whole situation was because of her.
"No, he didn't hurt anyone. He just started a fire, causing some chaos in the tribe, and then he grabbed me," Bai Di said softly.
"That's good," Si Lu nodded.
At the same time, her attitude toward the rogue beastman changed.
After all, her current condition was caused by a rogue beastman. Knowing that the handsome one was also a rogue made her feel uneasy.
Fortunately, this rogue beastman wasn't like the others.
Otherwise, she'd have to think about escaping.
'System, is the baby in my belly okay?' Si Lu asked in her mind.
[Host, don't worry. The baby is fine. The rogue beastman who saved you is indeed a rare handsome guy. Maybe you should consider developing a relationship with him? Just a suggestion!]
[Of course, the innocent young boy in front of you isn't bad either. His pure and soft demeanor is rare and quite adorable!]
The system was being its usual cheeky self again.
Si Lu was already used to it, so she ignored it.
As long as the baby was fine.
This young healer probably noticed it too, right? He hadn't said anything about it. She wondered if he told the handsome rogue beastman.
"You… um, about my belly..." Si Lu started to speak but was interrupted by Bai Di.
"Don't worry. I didn't tell the rogue beastman about the baby. Your little ones are very healthy. And I can sense that your reproductive ability is quite strong. I didn't tell anyone, and I won't. I promise I won't share it with other beastmen," Bai Di said earnestly.
He was so pure.
"Thank you," Si Lu nodded, realizing that when she woke up, she had been holding his hand.
(⊙o⊙)… Uh...
She quickly pulled her hand back, a blush creeping across her face.
She let her guard down!
This boy is too perfect!
Everyone has an ideal image of a perfect person—gentle, handsome, pure, and innocent, like a gentle breeze in spring. You could use every beautiful word in the world, and they wouldn't be enough to describe him.
And this young boy in front of her was like that perfect image—stunning at first glance and a bit…
But looking at the white cloth covering his eyes, she felt a pang of sympathy and pity in her heart.
Si Lu didn't ask about it. It was his wound, after all, and she didn't want to reopen it.
Besides, even with that, he had still become a healer. How much hardship and perseverance had it taken?
That kind of determination was admirable!
Bai Di, feeling her gaze, trembled slightly. He could sense it.
The admiration in her eyes was something he had never felt before, and her warmth stirred something in him.
This female was truly different from the others.
"Is something wrong? If you feel unwell, you must tell me," Bai Di said gently.
He reached out and touched her forehead, relieved to find the fever had broken.
At that moment, Hei Yao, who had just arrived at the cave entrance, overheard the conversation. He tossed the prey he was carrying aside and rushed inside.
Seeing the fragile little female sitting there, his eyes filled with joy.
She was awake!
That was wonderful!
Wait a minute. Hei Yao turned to look at the white figure beside her, his eyes full of displeasure.
Hmph!
He had missed the moment she woke up because he went hunting.
What a shame!
That guy had gotten lucky.
If only he hadn't gone hunting and had stayed with the little female.
After all, he had wanted to be the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.
