Not a Mate

The seasoned meat dishes became even more delicious.

Lin Huanhuan filled a large bowl with some of the dishes. She said to Bai Di, "When I was tanning animal hides by the river during the day, Shuang Yun helped me a little. Help me send these dishes to him as a thank you gift."

Bai Di went to find Shuang Yun with the hot meat dishes.

Shuang Yun had been in a foul mood, but when he saw the bowl of fragrant meat dishes, his mood brightened.

He quickly snatched the bowl of meat and carefully protected it as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.

Bai Di gave him a half-smile. "Huanhuan told me how you helped her earlier in the day. Thank you for that."

Shuang Yun snorted. "She was the one I was helping. You should let her thank me personally. Who are you to thank me on her behalf?!"

He turned to leave.

Bai Di spoke behind him. "We'll be leaving after winter. Don't get any ideas about her."
