Chapter 264 Everyone should have things they enjoy doing.
The people of the Tiger Beast Tribe and Feng reunited after ten years. They seemed to have endless things to talk about, so they chatted all the way to the North Mountain and promised to attend the bonfire party together that night before leaving.
After seeing off the group from the Tiger Beast Tribe, Lin Ni turned and went into the stone house.
Azhi had already brought Tiantian back while they were catching up and cleaned the house. However, before Linni returned to the Beastman Continent, Baiji and Baiqiu lived here, so the house wasn't messy at all, only a little dusty.
Bai Ji and his daughter Bai Qiu did not sleep in Lin Ni's heated kang room, but instead lived in the cave they used to store winter supplies. He even dug another heated kang in their small cave so that Bai Qiu would not be afraid of the cold winter.
It must be said that Bai Ji took very good care of Bai Qiu, the little female beast. Bai Shu also taught Bai Shi, the little male beast, very well. Two white tiger fathers and two white tiger cubs, one for each of them, is just right.
Yao was sitting at the stone table facing the door—his old seat—peeling fruit. A fruit platter, mostly finished, was already on the table. Seeing Lin Ni enter, he smiled and greeted her, "Little Ni, come and have some fruit."
“Okay.” Lin Ni walked over and sat down in her usual spot on the west side. There were a few small fruit forks on the fruit platter. Lin Ni forked a piece of a sliced cherry and ate it, then forked another piece for Yao.
Once inside, everyone put down their belongings and sat down at their usual spots around the dining table. The stone table, which used to comfortably seat six people, now had eight, making it impossible to find a place to sit. It felt incredibly crowded, mainly because the Atractylodes macrocephala and Bletilla striata plants were so large.
Tian Tian sat down on the long wooden sofa where Lin Ni used to sit.
Bai Shu asked, "Lin, do you want to say something at the bonfire party tonight?"
Linni thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to say. Does Yao want to say something?"
Yao shook his head and said to Feng, "Feng, you can say it. Let everyone pretend they didn't see me."
Feng nodded. "I understand." He paused for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which, I haven't formally thanked you yet."
Yao smiled and shook his head: "If Xiao Ni hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have resurrected you, so you don't need to thank me."
Feng looked at Lin Ni, reached out and took her hand from the table, smiling at her. His beautiful phoenix eyes held an indescribable affection, but he didn't say thank you. He felt that such words weren't necessary between them, because everything he had belonged to her.
Linni smiled back at Feng and said, "Feng, why don't you go play the drums tonight? I love watching you play the drums on that high platform."
Feng's face and eyes were full of smiles as he nodded and said, "Okay!" After a while, he added, "Then I'll go and prepare now."
“Okay, go ahead.” Linni nodded. He had been away from the tribe for so long, he must want to talk to the people in the tribe.
Feng looked at Yao, nodded to him, and then got up and left.
Watching him leave, Lin Ni's gaze fell on Yan, who had his back to the door: "Yan, you also grew up in the Tiger Beast Tribe, do you know how to play the drums?"
Yan shook his head and said, "I can't. Only high-level beastmen are qualified to play the drum on the high platform. I wasn't qualified at that time."
Linni said, "You had just come of age then. You met me after returning from your coming-of-age ceremony. I believe that even if you hadn't met me, you would still have been qualified to play the drums on stage after returning to the Tiger Beast Tribe."
Yan shook his head and said, "No, it's fortunate that I met you." After a pause, he added, "Then should I learn to play the drums too?"
Linni smiled and shook her head: "Do you remember what I said? You are all different. I don't need you to become omnipotent for me. If you like playing drums, then learn. If you don't like it, then don't learn. I hope you can have things you like to do."
Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I like watching others sing and dance, but as for myself, I like flying in the sky."
Linni nodded and looked at Bai Shu and Bai Ji: "What about you? You don't all like the same things, do you?"
Bai Shu said, "I like Xiao Ni."
Bai Ji said, "Me too."
Linni looked at Azhi, and then Azhi said, "I like Lin."
Linnie said, "I'm talking about all the things you like to do, besides me."
Azhi thought for a moment and said, "I like doing anything for you."
Lin Ni smiled and turned her face away, seemingly realizing she wouldn't get anything out of him. However, she looked at Ye, who gave Lin Ni the impression of being a man without much intellectual depth. Sure enough, he smiled back at Lin Ni and said, "I just like Lin."
Lin Ni looked at Tian Tian again, hoping to hear a different answer from him.
Tian Tian said, "I like to eat delicious food, and I'm even happier eating it with Lin!"
Lin Ni nodded. She had already guessed that Tian Tian was a foodie. She remembered the books about food she had brought from China and said to Tian Tian, "I have something to give you."
Then, amidst everyone's envious and jealous gazes, Tian Tian received a book from Lin Ni. It was taken directly from her hiking backpack! Aside from the snacks she brought back, no one else had received anything from her original tribe. But jealousy was useless; Lin Ni pretended not to see it. At this moment, Yao had already cut the fruit, and Lin Ni sat directly on his lap: "Yao, are you going to the bonfire party tonight?"
Yao smiled and said, "Today's bonfire party should be Feng's main character, so I won't be going. If you want to stay here longer, I'll go to the next bonfire party."
Linni leaned against him and asked, "You...don't you like the Tiger Beast Tribe?"
Yao shook his head: "No, I quite like this tribe. Speaking of which, you have four partners who are all beastmen from the Tiger Beast Tribe! You can live here indefinitely if you want. Just pretend that no one can see me."
Feng, Baishu, Baiji, and Yan are all beastmen from the Tiger Beast Tribe. They all grew up in the tribe and have a deep affection for it. The beastmen in this tribe are also very kind; they are united and help each other, making it a truly loving tribe.
For the past ten years, Bai Ji has spent most of his time in the Tiger Beast Tribe. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Xiao Ni, the people of the Tiger Beast Tribe are really kind."
Everyone sat together chatting and dreaming about the future, and then it slowly got dark.
Bai Shu, Bai Ji, Yan He Ye, and A Zhi accompanied Lin Ni to the Tiger Beast Tribe's bonfire party. Only Tian Tian stayed behind, saying he would cook for Yao, Bai Qiu, and Bai Shi at home.
Bai Qiu and Bai Shi, who usually eat raw meat: We can't talk, ooh~~
