Nansi wasn't sure if Silu would allow him to kiss her.
He cared so much about the little female that he became even more cautious, nervous in everything he said and did. He was afraid of doing something she wouldn't like or saying something that might upset her.
Because he cared, he was more careful than ever.
When Silu heard his words, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to ask first. In the past, the others would just kiss her without asking. Why would he be so respectful and cautious?
Seeing Nansi being so shy, Silu liked him even more. He was such a pure little bunny.
If it were someone else, they would have kissed her already without asking. But Nansi's timid and respectful manner really made Silu's heart melt.
This guy was such a fool.
"You're such a fool!" Silu said as she leaned in and kissed his pale cheek.
She didn't answer him with words but showed him with her actions.
Nansi's eyes widened as Silu's beautiful face drew closer.
He had thought she would either let him kiss her or reject him, but he never expected her to take the initiative and kiss him!
His whole body froze!
His handsome face was filled with disbelief.
It felt like a dream.
If it weren't for the sensation on his lips, he would've doubted whether he was hallucinating.
She really...
But the next second, her soft lips left his, and his heart suddenly felt empty, as if something precious had been taken away.
He felt a little lost.
That feeling... he really liked it!
"What's wrong?" Silu asked, puzzled, as she looked at Nansi, her eyes full of inquiry.
This bunny, why did he suddenly go into a daze?
Silu wondered if she had been too forward and scared him.
Looking at the dazed Nansi, she found it amusing.
"N-nothing, I'm just really happy!" Nansi snapped out of his daze, recalling what had just happened. His handsome face instantly flushed red.
He stammered, too embarrassed to look Silu in the eye. After he finished speaking, he stole a glance at her, wanting to see her reaction.
Just as he looked up, he saw Silu smiling warmly at him, her beautiful face so gentle and soft that it made his breath catch and his heart race even faster.
"I didn't expect you to be so shy, Nansi." Silu said with a smile, reaching out her fair hand to play with Nansi's pink hair.
His hair was so nice.
Honestly, in this beast world, not only were the male beastmen good-looking, but they also had great hair.
Some females had hair like straw. Her own hair was decent, but compared to these male beastmen, it still fell short.
Their hair quality was enviable!
Nansi smiled as he watched her enjoy playing with his hair.
"Lulu, if you like it, it's yours to play with anytime." Nansi looked at Silu with deep affection in his crimson eyes.
"Alright!" Silu responded cheerfully, accepting his offer with joy.
"Um, Lulu, are you really willing to be my mate?" Nansi asked cautiously, looking at Silu with hope in his eyes.
"Of course, you're so good to me. Having you as my beast-husband is like hitting the jackpot." Silu replied.
For some reason, she suddenly felt like a scoundrel.
It was as if she was seducing an innocent young man! How strange!
She was even surprised at herself.
"I'm willing, too." Nansi said, overjoyed.
Hearing Silu's words made him truly happy.
Looking at her fair face, he nervously leaned in to kiss her.
His kiss was careful and gentle.
It made Silu a little lost in it, too.
After a long while, Silu, feeling a bit weak, leaned on Nansi's shoulder, both of their faces flushed.
Nansi then gently scooped her up in a princess carry...
As they entered the bamboo hut, Baidi emerged from behind a large tree, holding a small bamboo basket filled with herbs. His expression was somewhat melancholic as he looked toward the bamboo hut.
Although he had long known that Nansi would become Silu's mate, the reality still made him feel a bit sad.
In the end, he found a nearby tree and transformed into a two-tailed white fox, leaping onto a branch to keep watch.
Since they were mating, he would keep watch to make sure nothing disturbed them, or in case of any emergencies.
However, his heart felt a little heavy.
But soon, he calmed himself down.
He had come to terms with it.
...
When Silu woke up, it was already afternoon.
Everyone was busy outside the bamboo house.
Chengmo was drying the processed fish and shrimp, Songzhan was skewering fish and shrimp, Baidi was flipping his herbs to dry them, and Heiyao was sitting on top of the bamboo house basking in the sun.
Although it looked like he was sunbathing, there was a fire beside him with a pot of food cooking on it.
Inside the bamboo house, Nansi was accompanying Silu.
When Silu woke up, she saw the gentle Nansi by her side.
She blushed a little.
Nansi's gaze, on the other hand, was intense, never leaving her face.
Silu thought he didn't seem as shy as before.
"Lulu, did you sleep well?" Nansi asked softly, looking at her with affection.
"Mhm." Silu nodded.
His gaze was too passionate.
It made her feel...
"I saw it. My beast mark is on your hand. Do you like the pink bunny?" Nansi asked joyfully, looking at the mark on Silu's hand.
He liked its placement very much.
With it on her hand, every time Silu extended her hand, his beast form would be right there for her to see.
"Mhm, it's beautiful and cute!" Silu said, finally noticing the pink long-eared bunny on the back of her hand. It was indeed adorable.
It sat right on her hand like a decorative accessory.
The long-eared bunny was pink, making her hand look even fairer.
It was very kawaii.
Very girly.
Silu really liked it.
"Lulu, look. Your beast mark is on my chest—a snow-white deer. It's truly beautiful." Nansi said, pulling aside his beast clothing to show Silu the mark on his chest. He smiled brightly.
