Jiujiu waved at Qing Tong, indicating for him to sit beside her.
Qing Tong, who was completely mesmerized by the aroma of the roasted lamb leg, sat beside Jiujiu obediently like an obedient baby. He then continued to stare unblinkingly at the roasted lamb leg that was emitting a mesmerizing aroma.
Jiujiu, who was very close to Qing Tong, had already heard the sound of Qing Tong's saliva slurping.
Qing Tong's previous image was that of a mature and adorable man. However, the way he was slurping his saliva now was extremely childish, but also extremely adorable.
Jiujiu picked up the stone knife and cut off a piece of the crispy skin of the lamb and passed it to Qing Tong.
The outer skin of the roasted lamb leg had long been roasted into a honeycomb briquette, and it was densely packed with small holes. If one were to look closely, one could see the grease constantly exploding on the surface of the lamb leg, letting out crunching sounds.
Qing Tong took the piece of meat that Jiujiu passed to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qing Tong's hands were the hands of a beastman. As he had been hunting all year round, his hands were covered with thick calluses. Even if he held the roasted lamb leg that was just taken from the fire with his bare hands, there was no problem. However, there were no calluses in his mouth. He could not withstand the heat of the roasted meat at all. In just an instant, Qing Tong was scalded and let out a shrill cry.
However, even though he was scalded to the point of screaming, Qing Tong still could not bear to let go of the roasted meat in his mouth.
The crispy skin, the soft and tender meat, as well as the sweet and sour taste that he had never tasted before. It was simply too delicious.
Qing Tong used to eat meat for every meal in the past. No matter if it was lamb or beef, he had also eaten a lot of birds. However, as there was only one cooking method, Qing Tong had always thought that meat was just so-so. However, after eating the roasted meat made by Jiujiu, Qing Tong realized that it was not that the meat was not delicious, but that there was a problem with the way he handled it.
Eating the fragrant barbecued meat that Jiujiu had given her, Qing Tong thought of the barbecued meat that she had eaten before. She had an inexplicable feeling that she had eaten before.
Qing Tong had a big appetite, one roasted lamb leg was barely enough to fill her stomach. Jiujiu cut another three lamb legs from the storage room and spread the juice all over the roasted lamb legs. When the lamb legs were tasty, she roasted them like before.
When Jiujiu was roasting the lamb leg, Qing Tong was like a child waiting for her parents to eat. She sat beside Jiujiu obediently and watched Jiujiu roast the meat quietly.
In the past, Qing Tong felt that saving Jiujiu was like having a companion who could accompany him, so that he would not be too lonely. However, ever since he ate Jiujiu's roasted lamb leg, Qing Tong felt that saving Jiujiu's life was the best thing he did in his life.
After eating and drinking their fill, when it was time to sleep, a new problem appeared.
There was only one bedroom in the cave and it was not enough for the two of them.
Although Jiujiu was a little kitten in the past, it was still alright for the two of them to sleep together. However, now that Jiujiu had turned into a little female, it would be inappropriate for them to continue sleeping together.
Although Qing Tong had long classified Jiujiu as one of his own, he did not want to take advantage of Jiujiu's precarious situation when he had just turned into a human.
Qing Tong stood at the door of the bedroom and looked at Jiujiu who was already sitting on the bed, blinking his big cat eyes and looking at him in confusion. Qing Tong pursed her lips that were dry due to nervousness and said softly, "Erm, I'll sleep outside."
There was less than a month left before winter. The temperature had already dropped and it was inevitable that the nights would be chilly.
Even though Qing Tong had a strong body and the Spring of Life, but the coldness at night was really uncomfortable.
Even though she knew that Qing Tong would not fall sick, Jiujiu still could not bear for Qing Tong to suffer. She raised her hand and patted the side of her body and said, "It's cold outside at night. Since there's a stone bed, let's each take half."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she added, "It's not like we haven't slept together before."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she took the initiative to roll to the innermost part of the stone bed. Then, she used the fur to cover herself until only her fair and tender little face was exposed.
Jiujiu was a little magnetic and she did not care about trifles. If she continued to nag, it would seem that she was being overly sentimental.
Qing Tong strode to the side of the bed and bent down to lie beside Jiujiu.
The stone bed could be said to be big, but it could also be said to be small.
Qing Tong was tall and had long legs. She alone took up more than half of the stone bed. Even though Jiujiu was petite, she was still squeezed to the innermost part of the stone bed. If it was not for Jiujiu's habit of covering herself with the fur, she would probably be stuck together with Qing Tong.
It was a dreamless night.
The next morning, when Qing Tong woke up, Jiujiu was no longer by her side. If it was not for the fur covering her stomach, Qing Tong would have thought that everything that happened with Jiujiu yesterday was just a dream.
Qing Tong sat up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. She saw Jiujiu who was moving stones to the kitchen.
Jiujiu's fingers were slender and soft as if there were no bones. The skin on her fingers was as smooth and tender as a newborn baby. At this moment, seeing Jiujiu's delicate fingers moving the heavy stones, Qing Tong hurriedly walked forward and took the stones from Jiujiu's hands. She lowered her head and saw that Jiujiu's fingers had turned red from moving the stones. Her heart ached as she said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Seeing that Qing Tong was helping her move the stones, Jiujiu let out a long sigh of relief. She tilted her head and looked at Qing Tong's puzzled face. Jiujiu explained, "You've been busy the whole day. Moreover, I'm setting up the stove. You don't know how to do it."
"Stove?"
Qing Tong knew how to pronounce the two words' stove '. However, when put together, Qing Tong did not know what it meant.
However, when Qing Tong moved the stones to the kitchen, she knew what Jiujiu meant by 'stove'.
She saw that Jiujiu had piled the stones in the cave together and formed a circle around the fire. Above the fire, Jiujiu had shaped the bones into a very strange spider web shape. On top of it, there were five pieces of tenderloin meat that were roasted to a golden yellow color. They were glistening with oil and were making crunching sounds.
Jiujiu asked Qing Tong to place the stones on the ground as a stool. She then used a stone knife to move the roasted meat onto the stone that she had cleaned and used as a plate. She cut the meat into small pieces that could be eaten and pushed it in front of Qing Tong. She said to Qing Tong, "Eat. After eating, we still have other things to cook."
Qing Tong who smelled the aroma of the roasted meat again stuffed the meat into her mouth without hesitation.
As Jiujiu had placed the roasted meat on the cold stone plate to cool it down, the temperature was just right. Qing Tong was so satisfied that her eyes narrowed.
After Qing Tong ate four pieces of roasted meat, she let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
After the two of them had finished eating, Jiujiu carried the animal skin bag that Qing Tong used to store her and asked Qing Tong to bring her to the forest.
