Chapter 105 Selfish

They both looks at each other for a while. Then, Jiu Lin said, "I need to go." He didn't wait for Hu'er's response and went out.

He knew her well. If he doesn't get out now, she will tease him more and maybe push him to turn the next page. Jiu Lin didn't know if he could take it, escaping is the safest way.

When Jiu Lin closed the door and reached the stairs, he saw the four eavesdropping on them. Ke Rin, Song Li, Xin Hua, and Shun Su are just sitting on the stairs and their ears are perked up.

They saw him and stood up. They didn't even bother to act innocent. The four immediately look at the book he is holding.

Jiu Lin went past them and didn't bother to say anything. The four looked at each other and didn't speak. They followed Jiu Lin down.

Once they know that Hu'er couldn't hear them anymore, Song Li put his arms on Jiu Lin's shoulder. "What's that book you are holding?"

Ke Rin eagerly asked, "Can we see it?"

They knew that it is the book that Hu'er have been working on so much back then. They are very curious about what is in it. Hu'er giggled so much after the book was made. She even made it on her own.

"No." Jiu Lin shakes his shoulder off to take away the arms of Song Li. He walked much faster. Making sure that the book won't suddenly get snatched.

However, his worries are all for naught. Although the four do want to look at it and see if there is inside it they wouldn't forcefully snatch it away from him. If they did that, Jiu Lin might punch them.

Hu'er doesn't like it when they get into small fights. They also know that she also wouldn't like to hear that the book was taken away from Jiu Lin because of their curiosity.

The four also followed Jiu Lin at the same pace. Not minding all the beastman looking at them. They bugged him again and again.

Jiu Lin glared and wanted to go to Jia Ting. He knew that they would act like this in front of Jia Ting. He will be safe from getting annoyed by the four.

"We are just curious. Can you let us satisfy our curiosity?" Shun Su went to stop him from walking.

Jiu Lin could only stop and seriously said, "No." 

They are crowding him now. Still, didn't try to snatch the book even if they wanted to. They are thinking of ways to let him give it to them so they just crowd Jiu Lin and nodo t let him walk around.

Xin Hua remembered that Hu'er made more books after the one Jiu Lin is holding, but he wasn't sure what it is for so he asks, "Do you think Hu'er will also give us a book?"

This time Jiu Lin also remembered those books she made. But just like Xin Hua,  "I don't know," he also has no idea if those are made for gifts.

"How about letting me borrow the book after you have read it?" Song Li grinned at Jiu Lin. His eyes are shining.

Jiu Lin sighs, "Hu'er didn't give me permission to do so."

"She didn't say anything like that…," Ke Rin muttered.

Jiu Lin snapped and looked at him, "Then ask her instead."

He passed the stunned Ke Rin and went to Jia Ting. Jia Tin is in the guard house right now. He is scheduled to guard the meat storehouse.

Jiu Lin continues to hear the four's footsteps. He frowned and glanced back. They stopped and looked away. Jiu Lin scoffed and went inside.

The four look at each other. "Who's guarding the meat storehouse today?" Ke Rin asked.

"Dad Jia Ting," Shun Su is looking at the guard house with helplessness.

"Let's go back." Xin Hua turned around and went to another guard house instead.

Jiu Se is the one inside it. He is on duty to guard the plant's storehouse. Every time there are things to be built or even a house, Xin Hua would go and join them asking for advice.

He is closer to Jiu Se than Qiang Li. Qiang Li didn't speak much and would just directly teach them how to hunt and tame. Then, if they already know how, he would either watch them or leave them be. But he will always be available when you need to ask advice or questions.

Meanwhile, Jiu Se does talk a lot even during work. He will ask about your day, your plan, and even his relationship with Hu'er. He is gossipy. But Jiu Se did help Xin Hua when he was clueless about what to do when Hu'er got a little temper or tantrum.

Ke Rin, Shun Su, and Song Li went through the gates leading to their new home instead of going out.

Song Li yawned and said, "Didn't know that Jiu Lin has this selfish side of him."

"You only know that now?" Ke Rin looks at him weirdly.

Shocked, Song Li looks at Ke Rin. Not believing what he said, "What? Is he really selfish?"

"On some things… It's normal though," Shun Su answered before going into his room.

Confused, Song Li thought about it but didn't find any scene in his memory that Jiu Lin have acted selfishly. "When? What things?"

"Things that Hu'er gave him. Why? Would you be so generous and give me the gifts that Hu'er gave you?"

"No," Song Li immediately answered.

Ke Rin nodded. "Yep, that's right." Then walk towards the room at the very end. It's where he keeps his herbs and makes medicine.

"Why would you even want the gifted thing…?" Song Li pouted.

"Did your memory get foggy? If it does, ask for medicine, I won't trade you for it. It will be free. Anyway, we just did it earlier. The book, remember?" Then, Ke Rin went in and closed his door.

He will be busy today. Trying some ways to create a medicine for beastman who got foggy memory.
