I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 122 Reconciliation

The chair next to him was pulled out with a soft thud, and Lei Xiu sat down next to Le Zhi.

"Zhizhi..."

Despite his imposing presence, Lei Xiu's tone was surprisingly soft when he opened his mouth.

What happened between the two of them today, if we're being honest, wasn't really a dispute at all; it was more like Lezhi's defenses were breached.

The perception he had built up over time was shattered, and Lezhi couldn't accept it for a while, which is why he subconsciously took his anger out on Lei Xiu, who had catalyzed the incident.

After his anger subsided and his reason returned, Lezhi immediately realized that he was in the wrong. It's just that the atmosphere had gotten so tense that he didn't have the courage to be the one to break the deadlock.

But this can't go on forever. Lei Xiu hasn't done anything wrong, and he's already taken the initiative to seek peace. No matter how much face Le Zhi has, he can't continue this stalemate.

So before Lei Xiu could finish his sentence, Le Zhi mustered up her courage and spoke first, "This morning... it was my fault. I didn't think things through and was a bit presumptuous."

She glanced up at Lei Xiu's reaction, instinctively wanting to look away, but forcibly stopped herself a second before she could. "I'm sorry... um?"

Lei Xiu covered her mouth with his index finger, and Le Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't apologize, Zhizhi, you did nothing wrong." Although he had successfully stopped Lezhi from speaking, Lei Xiu's fingers lingered on Lezhi's lips for a few more seconds before reluctantly leaving.

“My tone wasn’t good this morning either. I’m the one who should apologize. I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. Can Zhizhi forgive me?”

Lei Xiu, a tall and strong man, spoke to Le Zhi in a soft and gentle tone, almost without any sharp edges.

"Huh? Oh~"

After giving an awkward reply, Lezhi felt the lingering frustration that had been plaguing her all day instantly burn away.

Instead, my chest was filled with warmth; there was no way around it, since Lezhi was the most susceptible to this kind of thing.

Although Lezhi may appear to be a pushover, very few people actually realize that he has a rebellious streak.

His character began to emerge when he insisted on taking Maoqiu back to his tribe after being found by Lechu.

The reason Le Chu agreed so readily was that he realized that if he firmly refused Le Zhi's request, Le Zhi might choose not to return to the clan with them.

In fact, Lezhi had indeed planned to follow Maoqiu and become a savage, but Lechu's decisiveness prevented him from having the opportunity to do so.

Later, when it was discovered that Lezhi could cure the Shadow Disease, Lechu, though an observer, saw things more clearly. The talents of the Tree Spirits are often linked to their personalities, and the Mother Tree's gift would not be wrong.

As the parties involved in the long-term entanglement with the shadowy figure, Le Zhong and Lei Xiu had a deep understanding of how troublesome the shadowy figure was.

However, when Lezhi got started, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he displayed remarkable toughness in his confrontation with the shadowy figure.

Lei Xiu, in particular, did not miss the excited expression on Le Zhi's face when she treated him up close, as she became more and more courageous when the illness was difficult, and the coldness in her eyes that never faded.

How could someone like that be a pushover? Lezhi simply used a soft exterior to protect his hardened heart, a fact that even the astute Lechu and Lezhong noticed.

It was from that moment that Lei Xiu became truly interested in this destined person with whom he was bound.

Lei Xiu chose to live with Le Zhi not only because he wanted to take care of him closely when Le Zhi was unable to protect himself, but also because he wanted to understand Le Zhi better.

After spending so much time together, he naturally discovered that Lezhi was someone who responded better to gentle persuasion than force, which is why he apologized so readily.

As expected, Lezhi softened his attitude immediately, thanks to the fact that there was no major conflict between them that crossed any lines.

"Today we went deep into the Cloud Mist Forest and hunted a lot of insects." Seeing Lezhi's expression brighten, Lei Xiu gently curled his lips and immediately brought up a new topic, completely putting an end to the previous argument.

Upon hearing the topic that piqued her interest, Lezhi's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity. "Really? What kind of insects were there? You weren't hurt, were you?"

Patting Lezhi on the shoulder reassuringly, Lei Xiu replied, "No, all three of us are fine. The insects are still the same ones, mostly beetles. Oh, and I also dug up a nest of insect eggs. There are a lot of them. We'll save them to eat slowly."

Lei Xiu glossed over the bloody and violent process and took out an insect egg to show Le Zhi.

"Wow, this insect egg is much bigger than any we've seen before." Lei Xiu held the insect egg in one hand, but Le Zhi had to use both hands to lift it.

So, with Lei Xiu's help, Le Zhi took a closer look at the enormous insect egg.

"These are round-tailed beetle eggs. I happened to come across a nest that was in its breeding season, so I took them all. Oh, and I also found some honey worms in the round-tailed beetle nest, so I collected some honey."

After placing the insect eggs on the table, Lei Xiu then took out a cup made of jointed vine, unscrewed the sealed cap, and immediately released a sweet aroma.

"Huh, this is..." Lezhi looked expectantly at the familiar amber-colored thick liquid in the cup. Lei Xiu took out a spoon, scooped out a little, and brought it to Lezhi's lips. "Here, have a taste."

Although she sensed that Lei Xiu's actions were a bit too intimate, Le Zhi still couldn't resist the temptation of the insect honey and opened her mouth to sip the amber honey liquid from the spoon.

Unlike the pure sweetness of sweet crystals, insect honey has a complex sweet aroma upon first taste. From this one bite, you can simultaneously taste the aromas of several plants. Finally, at the back of your tongue, you can taste a slight sourness, which makes the flavor of insect honey even richer.

"Mmm, smells so good~"

The insect honey slid down Lezhi's throat and into his esophagus, and Lezhi felt as if his entire body was nourished by this mouthful of insect honey.

"Do you like it?" You could tell from Lezhi's reaction that he liked it a lot, but Lei Xiu still confirmed it.

"Mmm, not only does it taste good, but it also makes me feel very comfortable after eating it."

With his eyes sparkling from eating something delicious, Lezhi's mood had reached its peak. The fur ball in his arms, which also smelled the unique sweetness of the insect honey, couldn't help but lean forward, trying to get a share.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp chirp~"

Sure enough, the biggest reason why Maoqiu and Lezhi can play together is probably because they are both foodies.

The furry ball, already impatient, saw that Lei Xiu ignored its cries for food and stamped its feet anxiously in Le Zhi's arms. But that was all it would do; it would never dare to go forward and snatch food from Lei Xiu's hands.

Seeing the little furball's anxious expression, Lezhi, feeling sorry for it, looked hesitantly at Lei Xiu, "Lei Xiu, could you..."

Before Lezhi could finish speaking, Lei Xiu guessed what Lezhi wanted to say. He glanced at the restless furball in Lezhi's arms and handed the cup filled with insect honey to Lezhi. "This was originally for you. You can share it with whomever you want."

Anyway, he still had some left. Lei Xiu made up his mind that when he had some free time, he would definitely go out and raid a few more round-tailed beetle nests to collect more beetle honey.

"Thank you, Lei Xiu." Seeing that the delicious insect honey had already reached Le Zhi's hands, Mao Qiu was no longer flustered. Le Zhi would never lack anything for itself, so it just needed to wait patiently.

Lezhi certainly didn't intend to eat it all by himself. While eating insect honey on its own was delicious, it would be too extravagant and wasteful. He placed the fur ball on his head and carried the insect honey into the stall.
