Zhou Ji was unruffled as he retracted the hand heโd placed on Xiong Yeโs belly, then attentively handed over Xiong Yeโs animal hide skirt.
Xiong Ye felt a little awkward at first but soon calmed down.
His figure was still pretty good. Zhou Ji should be satisfied, right?
โI just reached adulthood, so Iโm not very robust, but donโt worry, Iโll become stronger and sturdier in the future!โ Xiong Ye put on his animal hide skirt and patted his lean belly.
โYouโre fine as you are now.โ Zhou Ji smiled as he spoke. Xiong Yeโs figure was indeed really good.
Unlike modern bodybuilders who specialized in large muscles, Xiong Yeโs muscles werenโt considered big, but they were much more pleasing to the eye, and he would definitely cut a great figure in slim fit clothing.
Xiong Ye couldn’t help smiling when he heard Zhou Jiโs praise.
He used to think that Zhou Ji wasnโt too bad, but that was it. Now, when he thought of how Zhou Ji would become his mate, he felt that everything about Zhou Ji was good.
Look, Zhou Ji was so pale! He was even paler than Lang Yin! The skin on his face was so fine, it must be particularly tender and feel particularly good!
His eyes were black, his eyebrows were black, and his hair was black; it was all so good-looking!
It was just that he looked a little weak. Xiong Ye needed to work hard and support Zhou Ji better so that he could make him a little stronger!
The fire in the cave hadnโt been lit yet, so there was insufficient light. Even though visibility was poor, Xiong Ye still felt that Zhou Ji looked like a fairy.
As for Zhou Ji, he was inspecting Xiong Yeโs injuries at this time.
The fight earlier hadnโt left Xiong Ye unscathed, but the wounds werenโt deep because his fur was thick.
Xiong Ye had many old injuries on his body, and now some new ones had been added… Zhou Ji poured Xiong Ye a cup of water and told him to rinse out his mouth, then used some more water to wash Xiong Yeโs wounds before taking out some medicinal herbs, grinding them up, and finally smearing it on the wounds.
Zhou Jiโs movements were very gentle, and he hadnโt put any salt into the water or the medicinal herbs. Xiong Ye quite enjoyed the sensation and increasingly felt that Zhou Ji was really good.
โYou havenโt had dinner yet. You should eat something.โ After Zhou Ji finished administering Xiong Yeโs wounds, he started up the fire again.
He had used a type of particularly fire-resistant wood to keep their fire burning.

โIโll go and get some firewood tomorrow.โ Xiong Ye said immediately.
โWeโll go together tomorrow.โ Zhou Ji said.
Xiong Ye was delighted, โAlright!โ Zhou Ji definitely wanted to be with him and didnโt want to be separated from him…
Previously, whenever Shi Li had sought him out to talk, Xiong Ye would inevitably recall their past history together, but at this moment, he wasnโt thinking about any of those events at all.
He was living together with Zhou Ji, and they were really like a family! They discussed things together and would have a good life together in the future…
With that in mind, he even thought that while Niu Er had been with them, they were like a family of three… Niu Er was just like a child that needed to be taken care of… Cough!
Wasnโt this the life he had always wanted?
Zhou Ji didnโt know what Xiong Ye was thinking about, but he wasnโt in a rush to eat roasted meat at all. Zhou Ji cut the roasted meat they had cooked down in the valley into pieces, then added a paste that he had made with fruit and a bit of salt that could barely be called jam before holding it up to Xiong Yeโs mouth.
Xiong Ye opened his mouth and consumed the roasted meat into his belly before realizing it was particularly sweet.
However, Xiong Bai felt that her eyes were going to go blind!
Xiong Bai had come over to deliver the dinosaur egg. The egg that Xiong Ye had obtained from the priest that he had then used as a proposal gift to Zhou Ji had actually been left behind after Xiong Ye finished his fight!
Xiong Bai remained in the valley and was a bit sad for a while, but when she gathered her thoughts, she noticed that there was an egg beside her and brought it over.
Then, she saw the scene of Zhou Ji feeding Xiong Ye.
Zhou Ji must be relying on these kinds of considerate acts in order to obtain Xiong Yeโs affections!
Xiong Bai shot Zhou Ji an indignant glance, but she also couldnโt help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, โZhou Ji, what did you put on top of your roasted meat? Why is it so fragrant? Can you let me try a bite?โ
Zhou Ji picked up a piece of roasted meat, then added some jam to it…
Xiong Ye leaned over and ate it all in one bite, then looked towards Xiong Bai, โThis is food that Zhou Ji made for me!โ
Xiong Bai: โ……โ In fact, Xiong Ye wasnโt any better, right?
Xiong Bai stormed off in a huff.
Xiong Ye turned his head back and wanted Zhou Ji to feed him a few more bites, but Zhou Ji handed the roasted meat and jam to him and turned round to heat up water.
He even placed vegetables into the water…
This was also food that Zhou Ji had prepared for him to eat, so he should eat it… Xiong Ye grumbled internally as he finished off a big bowl of vegetable soup, then stuffed a piece of roasted meat into his mouth to wash away the taste.
After eating, it was time to go to bed.
Xiong Ye was a little bewildered when he thought about sleeping.
Back when he had first invited Zhou Ji to live in his cave, he hadnโt had any other thoughts and had been very calm, but now… Were they supposed to do something?
The priest said that it was better not to have children before they reached adulthood as it wasnโt good for either the child or the childโs mother. It was also because of this that the men and women of the tribe would only start looking for partners after they became adults.
Xiong Ye had become an adult in the second half of the previous year and had established a relationship with Shi Li after that, but because winter had been approaching, nobody had had time to think about doing those things together. He had also wanted to save up food for his hibernation, so they had decided to move in together after spring arrived and they had held their mating ceremony.
Spring was the season for children. This was something that had been universally acknowledged!
Therefore, Xiong Ye had no experience at all.
However, he had lived in the collective cave since he was small and had seen such things before. He did have an idea about what went on.
Men and women โcould tumble together in the dirtโ, but when it came to men and men, did they use their hands?
While Xiong Ye was still thinking about it, Zhou Ji patted his head and said, โGo to sleep.โ
Based on Xiong Yeโs expression, he was probably thinking about things inappropriate for children, and it had also caused his body to react… However, Zhou Ji felt that it was too soon.
He liked Xiong Ye quite a lot, and he had been very satisfied with Xiong Yeโs reaction after he had agreed to be with him today, but some things should still be taken slowly.
Xiong Ye went back to his own cave in a daze and laid down before he suddenly realized… Nothing had happened between him and Zhou Ji!
Xiong Ye inexplicably felt a sense of loss, then very quickly fell asleep once again.
Zhou Ji laughed lightly.
The calming herbs he had given to Xiong Ye were completely harmless to the human body and their effect was actually quite weak, but Xiong Ye fell asleep so quickly every time…
It could only be said that Xiong Yeโs ability to sleep was really too good.
Zhou Ji also fell asleep soon after.
Over the past few days when Niu Er was in the cave, Zhou Ji had cultivated all night and hadnโt sleptโโhe couldnโt fall asleep when strangers were nearby. In fact, he also hadnโt slept when he had first moved in with Xiong Ye.
But now, he was actually able to fall asleep.
The next day, Xiong Ye woke up to a scent he had never smelled before.
It smelled really fragrant! Xiong Ye got out of bed and looked towards the entrance of the cave where Zhou Ji was making breakfast.
The breakfast Zhou Ji was making was scrambled eggs… no, scrambled dinosaur eggs.
After studying this dinosaur egg, he ultimately decided to eat it. He cut a hole in one end of the eggshell, then poured out the liquid egg inside and prepared to eat it.
Dinosaur eggs had a slight gamey taste. It wasnโt at an unacceptable level, but it probably wouldnโt taste that good if it was boiled, so he poured some of the oil he had collected into the pot, waited for it to heat up, then poured in the liquid dinosaur egg and salt that heโd beaten together…
The fragrance of scrambled eggs immediately spread through the cave. Even Zhou Ji who originally hadnโt had much interest in eating the dinosaur egg also wanted to try a bite.
โSmells good.โ Xiong Ye soon arrived by Zhou Jiโs side, his eyes shining as he looked at Zhou Ji. โWhat is this?โ
“Scrambled dinosaur eggs.” Zhou Ji replied. He picked up some scrambled eggs with his chopsticks and fed it to Xiong Ye.
Juurensha: So domestic, so cute!

At this point this should be called “The domestication of a bear” ๐๐ป
Cuteness overloaded! UwU~โก
In my language there’s a word for the growth spurts period, we call that a period of eating and sleeping (meaning the children’s food and sleep should be paid much attention to for the sake of their maximum growth). I found that XY has been taken care of by ZJ so meticulously in these two areas. It’s so cute and made me realized that the novel’s name is actually referring to ZJ raising XY hahahaha
No need for me to eat dinner as I’m completely satisfied with the amount of dogfood ZJ and XY have given us in this chapter.
Also… XY is so adorable and I feel like such a proud mommy hearing ZJ’s thoughts of wanting to wait because XY is still young. Love it!
