Not trusting Yujing and worried he was hiding something, Su Yu turned to Shi Wei. "Shi Wei..."
Shi Wei ruffled her hair and soothed her in a gentle voice. "Don't worry. This snake is doing just fine—he's strong enough to take down three Barbaric Bull Beasts."
Hearing his teasing words, Su Yu finally relaxed. She tugged Yujing's arm, ready to head back to the cave. "Thank you for all your hard work hunting today. Come on, let's go home."
Ruer spotted their little family of three from a distance and called out, "Shi Wei! To celebrate today's bountiful harvest, the tribe is holding a bonfire party tonight. Don't forget to come!"
Shi Wei waved a hand. "Got it."
"Wait." Yujing didn't follow Su Yu back to the cave. Instead, he swept her up into his arms.
Caught off guard as she was lifted into the air, Su Yu let out a startled cry and quickly threw her arms around Yujing's neck.
