Orc Predator

A few days later.

Ah Liu walked down the stairs, a little drowsy due to the unexpected insomnia at night. There seemed to be a familiar aroma of food wafting in the air. He paused, turned his head and glanced at the kitchen in surprise. There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, but there was silence as always. Illusion, his heart was empty, but he suppressed this feeling in just a moment, and returned to his usual expressionless face. He walked to the window and opened it as usual, but he didn't want a gust of cool wind to sweep the fallen leaves across his face immediately. Ignoring the fallen leaves and dust blowing into the house, he looked up at the treetops not far from the house. The light yellow and light green branches had already emerged from the dry branches. Go to the kitchen.

Ai Wende hadn't woken up yet, Ah Liu skillfully cut all kinds of vegetables and food into small pieces. Cedric left a lot of prey before he left, and he ate less than one-third of it after so many days. He doesn't need to go out to hunt, he just does some housework every day, and teaches his two children some fighting skills. He is comfortable and leisurely, without the disturbance and entanglement of orcs. It stands to reason that this kind of life could not have been better for him. What's more, he was already used to being alone.

"Ah, brother, stop!" A scream from the side woke him up from his confusion, and Ah Liu turned around, only to see that the lean meat under his knife had turned into meat paste, and he pursed his lips.

Ai Wende next to him let out a long sigh, looked at the shapeless lean meat and frowned and thought about it for a long time, finally beat two eggs, added the meat paste into it and stirred for a while, then added the seasoning and poured it into the pot together.

"...I'm sorry." Ah Liu said lightly. He has been thinking wildly in the past two days, causing a lot of trouble unintentionally.

"It's okay, if brother is tired, go and rest." Ai Wende said while waving the spatula, "I'm fine for the rest."

The black-haired non-orc gave an "um" and stood beside it for a while, only to leave when he saw that the little female could indeed handle it. Sitting down on the sofa, he leaned back heavily, closed his eyes and fell asleep. The sofa was custom-made according to the size of an orc. It was wide enough but not soft enough. He felt uncomfortable sitting on it, so he adjusted his posture. He smelled a faint smell of leather and the residual weakness of the orc's body. smell.

He subconsciously moved his face closer to the surface of the sofa, and suddenly realized that he was taking a deep breath in order to capture the familiar smell that seemed to be absent. His face suddenly burned, he quickly sat up straight again, frowned, opened his eyes slightly and quickly scanned the room, seeing that the little female was still busy in the kitchen and didn't notice her, then closed them again with confidence.

It is extremely dangerous to be influenced by one person in this way. This means that in many cases, it will replace reason to control one's mood, judgment and choice. Don't give your thinking to others. He leaned on the sofa and took a deep breath, forcing himself to forget about that figure.

"Brother Liu, are you okay?" As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he saw the black-haired non-beast man listlessly, and Ai Wende quickly put the food on the table and ran over to ask, could he be sick?

"Very good." Ah Liu suddenly opened his eyes and said, his expression was as usual. The little female still looked worried, and opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly there were two heavy knocks on the door.

Seeing the little female running to open the door, Ah Liu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart beat a little faster.

"Hello." The heavy wooden door opened, and a familiar sweet voice sounded, but it did not belong to the silver-haired orc. Ai Wende tilted his head, and said politely: "Hello, Brother Cecil."

"This is a gift for you and your brother." Cecil came in and said in a cheerful tone, and stuffed a large package of colorfully wrapped things into Evande's arms, which could be smelled through the loose seal A scent as sweet as fruit candy. After all, it was a child, Ai Wende's eyes lit up, said "thank you" in a hurry, and ran back to the house, eager to share this delicious-looking gift with his brother. Francis nodded at Ah Liu at the door, but did not come in.

"We're here to conclude a formal contract, and we happened to pass by here... Hey, you look so bad." Cecil walked in, glanced at Ah Liu, and asked with some concern, "Is there any discomfort? I can provide free treatment." !” As he said that, regardless of the objection of the black-haired non-orc, he insisted on checking his body carefully, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no abnormality.

Strange, since he was not injured or sick, such a depressed Ah Liu is rare! Cecil rubbed his chin, wait, could it be... He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ah Liu's wrist, touched it for a long time under the inexplicable gaze of the other party, and whispered to himself in puzzlement: "It's strange, it's obviously not pregnant..."

Ah Liu's face turned black instantly.

"Hahaha, just kidding." Seeing the expression of the black-haired non-beastman, Cecil laughed for a long time, and finally stopped: "Speaking of which, my brother has been away for four days. Are you okay?"

It's only been four days... Ah Liu quickly frowned and recovered, shaking his head calmly, but because of his unsteady mind, he missed the flash of mischievous look in Cecil's eyes.

This guy, no matter how you look at it, is "lovesick". It seems that my brother has succeeded in domesticating wild animals. But it's rare for a black-haired non-orc to show such an expression, it's a pity not to seize the opportunity to play a prank~

"It's true, brother. It's okay anyway, but he doesn't go home to entangle with those annoying ghosts. I really don't understand what he is thinking." Cecil's voice has always been gentle and calm, especially now that he is speaking seriously .

Ah Liu narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound in the end.

"Ah, didn't my brother say that when he left?" Cecil turned his head to look at Ah Liu, his eyes showed just enough surprise, "He is going to prepare for the spring festival, well, to put it bluntly... to help single non-orcs and orcs Activities to find a partner. At this time, there are always a lot of natural females around my brother, haha, it really gives me a headache when I hear it."

"En." Ah Liu still squinted his eyes to cover up the sudden sharpness, and responded in a low voice.

"But according to my father, my brother will officially take over as Patriarch Augustine at this year's Spring Festival." Cecil sighed and scratched his hair, "In this way, the matter of forming a partner cannot be avoided, so pitiful. "

"When?" Ah Liu asked lightly, his eyes were half down, but his face was calm.

"For the spring festival, it will be here in two days." Cecil thought for a while, and replied with a smile. After speaking, he looked at the sky, "Then, I'll go first." If the goal is achieved, it's better to go first.

After a simple farewell, Ah Liu closed the door, he raised his eyes, and the storm surged in his black eyes.
