Misunderstanding

Honey, sweet taste. Yang jumped up and said, "I know where there is honey!"

He ran incredibly fast, and Lin Ye didn't even have time to stop him.

It didn't take long for Yang to return, holding a large honeycomb filled with honey in his hand. He said happily to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, here is the honey you need!"

Lin Ye was a bit stunned as she looked at the honey wrapped in banana leaves in his hand. Just because of a single sentence from her, he had gone to find honey for her. She raised her eyes to look at Yang. "Why are you so good to me?"

He had brought her back to the tribe from the forest, let her live in his cave, and shared his food with her! Most of the kindness she felt in this world was bestowed upon her by him.

"Huh?" Yang froze for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly asked this. Instinctively, he wanted to reach up and scratch his head, but since he was holding the honey, he had to refrain.

Seeing Yang's foolish look, Lin Ye planned to ask more directly.

"Do you like me?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Yang felt a "boom" explode in his head, and blood rushed straight to his face. He said loudly, "Who... who likes you!"

He... he had only reluctantly agreed to let her be his mate because she had seen his naked buttocks. He didn't care to like such a thin and small girl!

Yang, holding the honey, bristled and spun around in place, staring at Lin Ye but not knowing what to say. Finally, he choked out three words.

"Hmph, shorty!"

Lin Ye lowered her head in embarrassment at his words. As expected, she was just being sentimental. In the beastman world, they judged beauty by tallness and strength; her thin and small figure was ugly in their eyes. That was true—how could Yang, as the number one warrior of the Miao Tribe, like her?

She had thought too much.

Seeing the small girl lower her head in embarrassment, Yang began to wonder if he had hurt her feelings just now. If the small girl really liked him, he... he could also like her a little bit!

Lin Ye raised her head, offering a stiff smile as she said to him, "I'm so sorry, it was my misunderstanding. Could you please forget everything I just said?"

That was so embarrassing!

At the same time, she grew more determined to move out of Yang's cave as soon as possible. Her living in his cave might cause many beastmen to misunderstand. She was fine with it, but she was afraid it would affect his search for a mate.

Yang didn't expect these to be her words, which were far from what he had imagined! His hand holding the honey stiffened, and he glared at her angrily.

Being stared at, Lin Ye felt a bit puzzled. Was there something wrong with what she had just said?

The atmosphere grew tense for a moment, and Lin Ye decided to change the subject. Looking at the honey in his hand, she asked, "Where did you get the honey?"

"When I went hunting yesterday, Shi found a beehive and took it down," Yang said dejectedly, though he didn't even know what he was angry about.

Lin Ye said softly, "The honey was hard-earned by someone else, yet you took it all like this. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Yang glanced at her and said, "It's fine. He often eats my honey too."

"Oh," Lin Ye replied dryly.

"Here you go." Yang placed the honey in front of her.

Lin Ye raised her head, looking at him in surprise.

"Didn't you say you wanted something sweet like honey?" Yang avoided her gaze unnaturally, not daring to look directly at her.

Lin Ye looked at the large honeycomb in front of her, furrowing her brows as she thanked him.

"Yang, thank you."

"No... no problem."

The honey that kid Shi found was indeed very good; its sweet aroma could still be smelled even from quite a distance.

…………

In the end, Lin Ye only cut a small piece from the honeycomb and returned the rest to Shi. After all, she only needed a little honey to taste with the jelly; too much would be useless. After finishing the beef sauce, she had washed the jar, which was now convenient to use for storing the honey.

Since there were no other utensils here, she could only squeeze the honey out of the honeycomb. She held the honeycomb tightly and squeezed the honey into the jar until it was all out. Her hands were also covered in honey, and she unconsciously licked her sticky fingers.

Wow, so sweet!

Yang watched her every move from the side, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
