Disappointed

Tian Xin nestled in his arms and gave a low ‘hmm.’ She could only do so. After all, she came from a different world. She had known for a long time that the path of this journey was not so easy to find. Otherwise, the world would have become a mess. This was a problem she had not dared to face. She was afraid she could not bear the result, so Tian Xin always constantly reassured herself that she would be able to return. Now, this matter was laid bare in front of her, making her not want to think about it.

Ryan comforted her some more. When her mood stabilized, he got up with her in his arms and found a cave nearby where they could spend the night. He started a fire in the cave, took out the leftover beast meat during the day, roasted it on the fire, and fed it to her little by little.

Tian Xin was not in a good mood and did not have much appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, she refused to eat again, and Ryan did not force her. He coaxed her to drink a few sips of water, took out the animal skin on the floor, and laid it down. Then he lay down with her in his arms and teased her with a word or two.

Tian Xin did not have much interest in talking. Mm-hmm ah ah, she replied perfunctorily. Not long after, she fell asleep in a daze.

Ryan watched her frowning in her sleep and couldn’t help but reach out and stroke her brow, feeling a strong sense of pity. He knew she was different from the females in the clan, and she might have come from a completely different world, and she could not explain why she had come here. It could only be said that her and Moussa’s arrival was a gift from the gods of the deep forest to the lions and a blessing to him.

He knew this place very well, and there was no road to anywhere else. However, Tian Xin wanted to go home, and he could feel that there should be something there that Tian Xin could not part with. He was willing to accompany her to locate it, and Ryan was ready to take her back to see if he could find it. If she really could not part with it, he could also compromise for her and live with her there.

But deep down, he hoped that she could not find it, so she could stay and live with him. It would be hard for her for a long time, and it would be hard for him to see her suffer.
