"I like it," Jian Ling answered very dryly, "We have gone through so many things, we have come over from birth to death, I have long regarded you as my relative, how can I not like you?" ”

"Loved ones?" Moore thought for a moment, "But we're not related by blood. ”

"So what does it matter? Blood is just a bond that plays the role of a connection, but between me and you, even if there is no such bond, it can still be closely connected," Jian Ling looked at his hesitant appearance, and his tone paused slightly, "You don't want to be a relative with me?" ”

"I ...... I don't know what it means to be a relative. ”

Jian Ling tapped his head with his fingers and enlightened in a different way: "Are you willing to get close to me?" ”

Moore nodded.

Jian Ling clapped his hands: "That's it, the person you want to be close to is your relative, do you understand?" ”

Moore continued to nod: "It's that simple? ”

"It's that simple, but you're thinking too complicated!"

Looking at his appearance of believing or not, Jian Ling couldn't help but continue: "Do you know what relatives are? It is a person who will not abandon you no matter what happens to you, will always stand in your position, protect you without asking for anything, and will sacrifice everything for you, even his own life. Moore, you are my dear and always will be. ”

Jian Ling's words, like a force, quietly turned the key.

With a click, the dusty iron box was opened, and Moore saw clearly that what was contained in it was family affection.

Seeing his slowly changing expression, Jian Ling knew that he was thinking, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him.

I don't know how long it took. Moore finally figured it out, he looked at Jian Ling sincerely, and said word by word: "You have surpassed everything in me, and your happiness is the happiest thing for me." Live for you without fatigue. I can live for you and die for you, like that. Can it be considered your loved one? ”

Hearing this, Jian Ling's heart swelled with emotion, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smile softly.

She stood on tiptoe, placed her right hand on top of his head, and gently lifted her fingers to fall: "Of course. We are loved ones and always have been. ”

At this moment, the troubles that were hidden in Moore's heart suddenly disappeared.

It turned out to be a loved one.

Oh, it's a relative? He had a slight loss. But more than that, it is the joy and happiness that wells up from the bottom of my heart.

They are relatives, and they have nothing to do with blood, no possession, and no wind and moon.

How simple and clean, isn't it exactly what he wants?

Moore doesn't understand feelings, he knows that Jian Ling is important to him, but the degree and motivation of that importance are not clear.

It was as if he was walking on a dirt path with no signposts ahead. At a loss, he could only grope his way forward. When he stood in front of the three-way intersection and was difficult to choose, Jian Ling's words invisibly became a road signpost, leading him to the smoothest road, and the focus of this road. It's family affection.

Jian Ling admits that this was done on purpose.

She didn't want to tease Moore's feelings, she just selfishly believed that family affection was the most suitable relationship between them. After all, she only has one love, which has been given to Xia in its entirety, and there is no way to give another one to Moore.

While this relationship was still just a blank piece of paper, she hurriedly drew the colors of her relatives on the paper, only in this way could he not be hurt.

She thought that Moore's life was still very long, and he would definitely meet many people in the future, and among those people, there might be the happiness that really suited him.

After calming Moore's emotions, Jian Ling went to Paul and asked the beasts here what they were rocking every day.

Paul said, "Hunting, storing food, and building defensive walls to survive the dry season." ”

"Dry season?"

"There are only two seasons on the planet, the dry season and the rainy season, and each quarter lasts about five months. During the dry season, when it doesn't rain and all the plants die, mutants and green pythons fight for what little food is left, and they become extremely fierce and irritable, so when we hunt, we often have to go out to hunt for safety. As for the rainy season...... We are now in the rainy season, with abundant rain, lush vegetation, and low vigilance of the animals, which is the best time to hunt. If you don't want to go hungry during the dry season, you have to take the time to store your food now, it's our rule. ”

Jian Ling nodded and expressed his understanding: "Can I go hunting with you?" ”

Paul was slightly stunned: "Do you have any special favorite prey?" ”

"No," Jian Ling thought for a moment, "I live here with Moore, and I've caused you a lot of trouble, if we eat white food again, we really don't have the face to stay here anymore." ”

"It is the duty of all male beasts to protect the female beast, and as for your friends...... He is a robot, he doesn't need to eat or drink, and there is no such thing as eating white food. ”

"You're already protecting me by letting us live here, but I can't just stay here all day without doing anything, and I'll have to pay for the food I get."

Seeing that she said firmly, Paul no longer refuted, but said lightly: "I have to ask the patriarch of Orr about this matter, and if he can agree, I and other people will have nothing to say." ”

"Okay, then please help me talk about it, please remember to inform me if there is news."

When Paul returned from hunting that day, he laid down his prey, went to the Elder chief, and told Jian Ling's request.

The patriarch of Orr looked at Paul with a faint expression: "Let me, an old immortal, guess...... Hmm, did Jian Ling's approach make you a little angry? ”

Paul neither acknowledged nor objected.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, and I'll make sure that none of you are angry."

After Paul left, the Patriarch of Orr asked Jian Ling to come over: "You should have guessed why I called you here, right?" ”

Jian Ling nodded: "Is it for me to hunt?" ”

"Well, that's it," the Orr patriarch clenched his fist with one hand and put it to his mouth and coughed lowly, "Did you know that among the beasts, all male beasts are born to protect their mothers?" ”

"I know, but that doesn't stop me from giving my part to this big family."

"That's what you know, the other males don't think so," Patriarch Orr smiled lightly, looking both tolerant and kind, "God has endowed them with strong bodies and physiques, giving them unparalleled strength and speed, which makes them deeply proud that they will protect the mothers and young beasts who are weaker than themselves, so as to continue the development of the beasts." It's in their nature, but if you refuse their protection or even hunt for food yourself, do you know what that means? ”

Jian Ling shook his head.

"It means that you are doubting their hunting ability, and you don't trust them."

"I didn't mean that......" Jian Ling didn't expect this to come up, and for a while, he didn't know what kind of response to make.

"I know you don't mean that, but those male beasts don't know, they want to protect your ****, just like you want to protect your children, they are all innate, not that you can make them understand it by explaining a few words," the Patriarch of Orr sighed helplessly, "You, you have lived in human society for too long, and your view of being a human person has always stayed in the perspective of human beings." ”

"So what do I do now? I can't just stay in my room all day eating and sleeping and do nothing else, can I? ”

"We have other things to do here besides hunting, would you like to give it a try?"

Jian Ling's eyes lit up: "Oh? ”

The Patriarch looked at her with a smile: "I think this job must be very suitable for you." ”

The next day, Jian Ling was sent to the kitchen.

Well, it's not that Patriarch Orr is teasing her, it's that the kitchen has been really short of manpower lately. It is said that the rainy season is coming soon, and the dry season is approaching, and many foods must be salted and sealed as soon as possible.

The kitchen here is a half-mountain cave, the area is quite large, quite empty and bright, but unfortunately the equipment is relatively backward, basically no electrified equipment, the most advanced thing should be the gas stove.

There were four very kind grandmothers in the kitchen, they all looked older, and when they saw Jian Ling, they always had kindness in their eyes.

This was the first time Jian Ling had seen a female beast since he came here, and he couldn't help but be a little curious. When asked about their age, Jian Ling knew that they were of the same generation as Uncle Solo, and according to their age, she had to call them grandmother.

These four grandmothers were not originally from the kitchen, and they were temporarily transferred to help because of the recent shortage of manpower. The real boss of the kitchen was Arjun, a young man with a pair of heterochromatic eyes, he was born very tall, with long and powerful limbs, and a large apron on his body.

Every time he stood by the stove to cook, he especially liked to conjure up his big white hairy tail and dangle it behind him.

The four grandmothers said that Arjun's tail was a sign of happiness.

When Jian Ling saw the big fluffy snow-white tail for the first time, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Samoyed?!" ”

Hearing this name, Arjun, who was stir-frying the vegetables very highly, took a meal and glanced at her sideways: "That's my ancestor." ”

"Oh, quite an excellent ancestor," Jian Ling actually wanted to say, she had raised a white Samoyed in her previous life, but then the dog broke a leg when she was hit by a car in order to save her, and then it didn't take long for it to die, and after she had enough ability, she donated money to set up a stray animal rescue foundation. As a result, she has a good affection for all dogs, especially Samoyed.

Hearing someone praise his ancestor, Arjun expressed his satisfaction, and his big white tail shook twice: "Then what is your ancestor?" ”
