Chapter 46 - Go Home

“Ever since I was young, I’ve never dared to ask for anything that might leave me one day.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s body moved slightly. Zhao Zhan gently ruffled the top of her head and muttered, “My parents left me. They died in the mountains, and after they died, not even their bones were left.

“I became a Hunter because I thought that one day I might be able to find traces of my parents in the mountains.

“You already know what happened after my parents died. At that time, I had a dog. One day, the dog disappeared. Jian Ji thought that I was dense, but I saw her son sell my dog for five copper coins.

“From then on, I knew that I wasn’t worthy of having anything precious. But you, you are a treasure that I would be willing to fight the heavens for so that I could have you by my side again.

“If the heavens see this, and if there is any backlash, I hope that it will all fall on my head instead of yours.”

Yue Jiaojiao let out a long sigh in her heart. Yet, she still tightened her arms around Zhao Zhan.

Li Miao’s tearful complaints stirred up the fear of abandonment in Zhao Zhan’s heart.

From saving his sweetheart, to her being willing to stay and even saying that she would marry him, Zhao Zhan felt that he had been alternating between fear and happiness every day…

He had a drink with Yang Dashan while they ate that night. Now that he was drunk, he was a little dazed. He hugged Yue Jiaojiao and chattered on and on, mumbling, “Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, I’ll carry you back to the cave. You must be sleepy.”

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t know how to react. Before she could comfort the other party, she was suddenly lifted into the air and held in his arms.

Zhao Zhan looked down at her and smiled. “I’ll take you home.”

What a fool. Yue Jiaojiao shook her head and chuckled. She reached out and pinched Zhao Zhan’s chin. “When you wake up tomorrow, will you still remember what you said to me when you were drunk?”

Zhao Zhan looked at the road. He held Yue Jiaojiao with so much tender loving care. He said in a very protective manner, “Let’s get back to the cave. I’ll boil water for you to bathe.”

Although Zhao Zhan was drunk, he was still able to walk steadily.

Yue Jiaojiao shifted her body and found a more comfortable position to snuggle in his arms. Before she even reached the cave, she dozed off.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

Zhao Zhan sat on the edge of the bed. When he saw his love wake up, his eyes lit up and he quickly lowered his head. A suspicious tinge of red ears appeared. “Are you awake? Are you hungry? I cooked some porridge.”

“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao moved lazily, half-lying on the pillow and looking at him with a smile, “You’re awake too? Was it your first time drinking yesterday?”

“It was.” Zhao Zhan lowered his head like a large furry puppy. “Yesterday, did I…”

Halfway through his words, Zhao Zhan immediately turned around.

He saw Yue Jiaojiao’s fair and delicate arm peeking out of the blanket.

Where were her clothes?

Zhao Zhan knocked his head, but he couldn’t remember what had happened last night.

“Stop knocking. You’re already dense enough. If you continue to knock, you’ll really become a fool.” Yue Jiaojiao sat up and pulled up the sleeve that had rolled up to her elbow. “Last night, you were drunk and still sent me back safely. You were so drunk, but you still knew how to boil water and washed me well. I was very happy.”

“I didn’t hurt you?”

“Of course not,” Yue Jiaojiao laughed and rubbed his head. “How could you hurt me?”

Zhao Zhan hurriedly shook his head.

The two of them looked at each other, and the temperature in the air gradually rose.

They had no idea that Willow Village was in chaos.

Zhao Kuazi squeezed in front of the crowd and shouted the most enthusiastically, “I told you that Zhao Zhan’s wife is a vixen. Otherwise, how did she get him to fall in love with her?”
