On a quiet night, the two of them built a fire to keep warm.
Muen boldly snuggled up next to Anyuan, pressing closely against him. Anyuan met the happy yet shy gaze of the black panther with a speechless expression, thinking to himself: Why does this kid love to cuddle so much? Well, he is quite warm; I might as well treat him like a leather sofa.
After a moment of contemplation, Muen softly asked, "Can I sleep next to you tonight?"
Anyuan looked at the mumbling black panther and, unable to communicate verbally, could only smile in response.
Seeing him smile, Muen felt a surge of joy in his heart: That must mean he agrees.
"Hug!" Muen cheerfully called out a few more times, his fluffy head happily rubbing against Anyuan while his tail swept back and forth on the ground.
However, when it was time to rest, Anyuan pushed the black panther's head away with both hands and said, "No, Muen, you need to get down."
The two of them stubbornly faced each other, their necks stretched out in defiance, looking quite comical.
Muen felt wronged, his eyes filled with a pitiful expression as if to say: "But you promised me! Why can't animals sleep on the bed? You're going back on your word; how can you say yes one moment and then no the next? If it's because you dislike my shedding fur, I can just turn into a human!"
Though they couldn't understand each other's words, it was truly remarkable that they could still "argue" like this.
Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared. Muen asked, "Is this okay now?"
Anyuan gritted his teeth in frustration and replied, "Even so, you're still an animal."
He pointed to a pile of hay nearby. "You can lie down and sleep there."
Muen looked at Anyuan with a face full of grievance, trying to elicit some sympathy from him. However, Anyuan simply pulled over a tiger skin and lay down, closing his eyes and leaving Muen with nothing but a cold back.
Muen's black claws scratched the ground as he thought to himself: Fine, I'll forgive him for the sake of how beautiful Little Female is. After all, I am a magnanimous Hug.
Outside, a light rain began to fall, continuing throughout the night.
The air turned cold and damp after the rain, while inside the cave, the stove warmed the Fruit Tea that Anyuan had made. Wrapped in a tiger skin blanket, he gazed out at the cave entrance and heard footsteps approaching. His heart leaped with joy as he hurried out to greet Muen.
"Anan, I'm back." Muen shook off his wet body before suddenly transforming into his human form.
He set down the food he was carrying and sat by the fire to dry off, but his gaze couldn't help but linger on Anyuan.
Anyuan handed him a bowl of Fruit Tea with a smile. "Try my new invention."
His smile lit up his face, making him look incredibly charming.
Muen felt a flutter in his heart and didn't take the bowl; instead, he sipped from Anyuan's hand, feeling the sweet and sour warmth of the Fruit Tea instantly dispel the chill from his body.
His eyes sparkled with pink bubbles as he secretly praised: My Little Female is truly amazing—smart and so considerate.
Anyuan then brought over a garment made from tiger skin and said, "Give it a try. I made it just for you; Hug will be moved to tears."
This was the first time someone had made clothes for him, and Muen, overwhelmed with excitement, transformed into his beast form.
Anyuan draped the cloak over the black panther, and as he looked at the slightly comical sight, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that he rolled on the ground.
The beastly Muen looked good in the cloak, though it did seem a bit flamboyant.
However, Muen was captivated by the sight of Anyuan, whose eyes were glistening with tears of laughter. His heart raced wildly in his chest.
"Anan, be my female!" Muen leaped forward, his eyes filled with hopeful anticipation as he gazed at Anyuan.
Anyuan looked at him in confusion, gently poking the black panther's nose with a smile. "I think this is pretty good as it is."
Well, it seemed these two were completely on different wavelengths, each lost in their own thoughts.
