Chapter 11

After returning from the chief's place, both Ba Ke Er and Zhang Fan were especially happy, because they could finally live together!

However, this happiness soon became a bit awkward. Because after they returned home and finished washing up, preparing to sleep, they finally discovered the problem: Although Ba Ke Er's home had two beds, there are two customs on Shouren Xingqiu: first, before their parents pass away, their adult children cannot live in their parents' room. So Ba Ke Er cannot stay in his own parents' room. Second, even if guests come to the house, they cannot stay in the room of the elder family members. So Zhang Fan also cannot stay in Ba Ke Er's parents' room… Therefore, the situation they now face is that they must share a room and share a bed.

Although they were both quite happy inside, this was still something that made them both feel rather embarrassed. Although they had lived together before when they were outside the Tribe, that was only because the environment was different!

Moreover, although they had lived together back then, they had never slept on the same bed. So now they are embarrassed and shy! Of course, they also feel some happiness and a little excitement.

"Ba Ke Er, this is your room; how about you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor?" Zhang Fan said somewhat embarrassedly to Ba Ke Er.

"How can that be! Fan Fan, you are female; I am male, and my body is much stronger than yours, so I should sleep on the floor and you on the bed." Ba Ke Er quickly said.

"No! You are the master of the house, and moreover, you haven't slept in a bed for several days while taking care of me, sleeping on the floor every day. Now that we have finally made it home, how could I let you sleep on the floor?! Eh… how about we share the bed? That way you won't have to sleep on the floor, nor will I, and besides, your bed is big enough for the two of us to sleep together." Upon hearing Zhang Fan say this, Ba Ke Er was overjoyed.

"Great! Great! Don't worry, Fan Fan; I will definitely treat you very well!"

"Alright, I got it, hurry up and sleep!" After saying that, Zhang Fan hurried into the house, and Ba Ke Er followed closely behind.

Soon, the two lay down on the same bed. Both felt a little sweet, yet a bit embarrassed, and each wanted to find a topic to chat about to dispel that slight embarrassment. However, neither could think of a good topic, so they just casually picked something to talk about.

"Ba Ke Er, have you fallen asleep?"

"Not yet, Fan Fan, you… what do you think of me?"

"Pretty good. And you? What do you think of me?"

"You? I think you're very, very good! Really! I've never met someone as gentle as you before, and you're also very pretty, and you always manage to make a delicious barbecue sauce!"

"Is that so? You think my barbecue sauce is tasty? Then next time I'll make you something else delicious, how about that?"

"Great! Great! Fan Fan, what would you like to eat tomorrow? I'll help get it for you; would you like some fruit? If so, I'll also help pick it."

"Great! Then you must remember! Actually, I don't have any particular meat I want to eat; just look for game, and whatever you bring back, I'll eat."

"Alright then! Okay, no more talk, let's hurry and sleep! We still have things to do tomorrow."

"Alright… then… Ba Ke Er, good night."

"Good night, Fan Fan."

Saying that, the two entered sweet dreamland. Perhaps in their dreams, it is also sweet and beautiful!
