Chapter 193, Part 1
There was no need for Ge to come and pick up Jiang Luoluo; he could have taken her there himself, and then gone to training afterward, which wouldn't have wasted much time.
Just guarding that side... it's a bit less busy.
Normally, Shou should have set off with Yuan and arrived at Qing's house together, even though Shou didn't do anything during the telescope meeting.
However, firstly, family members are not prohibited from participating in this meeting, and secondly, by staying there, they can at least serve as a source of labor, so they are still somewhat useful.
The reason why Shou separated from Yuan midway and came to pick up Jiang Luoluo was deliberately left to give Yuan a chance to meet with Qing and Heng alone.
Ao, who has been clinging to Zao since childhood; Heng, who is similar to Zao and is highly regarded; and Ao, who was adopted by Zao due to her outstanding talent—these three people have a deep bond despite their age difference.
Because they were driven away by the gods, and due to their different personalities, the three of them haven't had much interaction over the years.
How should we communicate?
Yuan is the youngest, and her reaction after being driven away by Zao is the strongest. Her personality isn't particularly lively or enthusiastic; instead, she's gloomy and withdrawn. She herself can't figure things out, so how could she possibly comfort the other two and help them see things in a better light? Nor would she take the initiative to communicate with the other two about feelings or anything like that.
Seeing others could be seen as relaxing, but seeing the other two only served to remind her repeatedly of being driven away, which was like rubbing salt into a wound.
The oldest member, Qing, harbored a lot of resentment towards Zao. When he met and chatted with Heng and Yuan, he was either adding fuel to the fire or stirring things up.
As for Heng, she had just started a family at that time... In fact, Heng had also wondered if it was because she had started a family that her energy for making stone tools was taken away by her family, which led to her being driven away by Zao. So during that period, she was actually more vulnerable than Yuan.
In addition to caring for her newborn child, Qing and Yuan did not actively disturb her. It could be said that her family made her more vulnerable, but conversely, it was also the first thing that helped her escape the influence of her family.
It's a rare opportunity for Qing, Heng, and Yuan to get together before anyone else, so it's quite normal.
After learning about this, Jiang Luoluo, who had overslept, was no longer in a hurry to eat or pack her things, and instead leisurely dawdled around.
After all, if she had gone too early, they might not have finished exchanging feelings.
Ge had already prepared breakfast and even finished eating himself. Seeing that Jiang Luoluo had someone to pick her up and drop her off, and he no longer had any tasks, he reluctantly left home.
In fact, Ge knew that it was a good thing to have someone help take care of Jiang Luoluo, so that he wouldn't have to spend too much time and effort on her.
Ge himself is still a child, not even reaching the age of adulthood recognized by the tribe, so he needs more time to train and learn.
If Jiang Luoluo were the kind of normal cub who desperately needed care and companionship, it would inevitably slow down Ge's growth.
Jiang Luoluo's current state is the best outcome for both herself and Ge, and it won't affect their future growth.
Jiang Luoluo has her own things to do every day, and she has many friends and elders around her who can take care of her. Ge only needs to ensure her basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. In fact, Jiang Luoluo seems to have no problem with these things on her own now.
However, this inevitably caused Ge to feel a sense of disappointment.
Ge sees Jiang Luoluo as the sole survivor of the accident "caused by him," and places all his guilt on her.
Jiang Luoluo, who bears such a huge emotional burden, doesn't actually need Ge very much, which makes it hard for Ge not to feel a sense of loss.
It's even possible that this could lead to the development of a "yandere" who wants to replace "protection" with "imprisonment."
Fortunately, although Ge became somewhat anxious because of that incident, he is still a very good kid at heart. He was just a little emotional because of his disappointment, but he was actually very genuinely happy for Jiang Luoluo.
"Ge, bye-bye~" Hearing the cub waving goodbye, Ge lightened his steps, a slight, unconscious smile appearing on his face, and left the cave.
Jiang Luoluo ate the breakfast Ge had prepared, then turned her gaze away from the cave entrance, looked at the guard beside her, and gestured, "Want to eat together?"
Shou quickly waved his hand with a smile, "I've already eaten breakfast. Yuan and I ate the birds that were left over from yesterday this morning."
Oh, we had breakfast together.
Jiang Luoluo smiled, sensing something from those words.
I also chatted with Shou about the aftermath of yesterday's incident.
Yuan has already clearly accepted Shou's feelings and agreed to Shou's love, so everyone must be curious about what will happen between them afterward.
Moreover, in this tribe where there are so few entertainment options, hearing such gossip is quite appealing to Jiang Luoluo.
