585 I’ll Remember You Forever!
Huanhuan slept until she was satisfied. When she woke up, the fatigue on her body was gone. She was in high spirits.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw Bai Di standing nearby talking to Doris.
Doris was tall, but she was still half a head shorter than Bai Di. She looked up at him, her mouth opening and closing as if she were saying something to him. She smiled shyly, looking playful and cute.
Due to the distance, Huanhuan couldn’t hear what she said clearly.
She could only see Bai Di looking down at her calmly with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
The two of them were good-looking and looked quite compatible together.
Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and called Bai Di’s name.
Bai Di turned to her, his gaze gentle. “When did you wake up?”
“I just woke up and saw that there was no one in the house, so I came out to look for you.” Huanhuan walked over to him and naturally hugged his arm. Her gaze lingered on Doris for a moment. “What are you talking about? You two seem to be chatting very well.”
Doris looked uncomfortable when she saw her. “We were just chatting,” she said vaguely. “It’s nothing.”
“Oh?” Huanhuan raised her eyebrows and looked interested. “Let’s hear it.”
Doris was troubled. “We really didn’t talk about anything. Don’t misunderstand.”
“Misunderstanding? What do you think I’ll misunderstand?” Huanhuan smiled, her already extremely beautiful face immediately becoming even more dazzling. “Do you think I’ll misunderstand that you’re having an affair with Bai Di?”
Doris’ face immediately turned red. “Y-You’re talking nonsense!”
She thought she had hidden it well, but Huanhuan saw through her thoughts very clearly.
Huanhuan was not interested in playing this sort of game with a third party with her. She put away the smile on her face and said coldly, “Don’t you despise us beasts for being dirty? Bai Di is also a beast. Don’t you feel dirty standing so close to him?”
Doris’ small face immediately turned from red to white, but she couldn’t find any words to refute it.
Back then, she had said those words in front of the entire tribe. Now, these words were like a slap to her face, making her embarrassed.
She hurried to explain to Bai Di.
“I heard rumors about beasts from others. I’ve never seen a beast before. I didn’t know that beasts were so good-looking…” She paused and felt that she was being too superficial. She immediately blushed and corrected herself. “No, I’m saying that you’re not as bad as the rumors say. I misunderstood you. I’ll never look down on beasts again.”
Bai Di smiled. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care what you think.”
Doris paled at the retort, unable to speak.
She hadn’t expected beasts to be not only good-looking but powerful, especially Bai Di. He appeared when she was surrounded by enemies and saved her.
It was only for a moment, but Bai Di was etched into Doris’ mind from then on.
That was why she dressed up today and came to Bai Di to thank him.
She didn’t expect Lin Huanhuan to suddenly run out. Not only did she interrupt Doris’ conversation with Bai Di, but she also embarrassed her in front of him.
The more Doris thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes turned red, and her fingers kept touching the hem of her dress.
But Bai Di didn’t seem to see her pitiful appearance. He continued to smile. “Is there anything else?”
Doris looked at Huanhuan and hesitated.
Huanhuan found it funny. “Are you asking me to leave so that you can whisper things to Bai Di?”
“No…” Doris’ voice was low, indicating that she wasn’t confident.
Huanhuan couldn’t be bothered to beat about the bush with her and said it directly.
“Let me put it to you this way. A male beast can only have one female mate in his life. I’m Bai Di’s mate. I’ll be his mate for the rest of my life. He can’t have any more ambiguities with other women, including you, lovely elf lady.”
Doris was extremely embarrassed by her words. “I didn’t mean that. How can you say that about me?”
“It’s best if you don’t mean it that way.”
Doris looked at Bai Di with a plaintive gaze. “Don’t misunderstand. I really just wanted to thank you. Huanhuan is thinking too much.”
Huanhuan waved her hand. “Don’t call me Huanhuan. I’m not that familiar with you.”
She didn’t give Doris any face. Doris was angry and resented her. Tears immediately rolled down her face.
“I know I said some nasty things to you before, but I’m telling the truth. Not only me, but everyone else thinks the same. Why are you targeting me instead of going after others? What did I do wrong?”
Huanhuan was a little annoyed. She thought she had made herself clear, so why was this female elf in front of her still pestering her?
Did she really think pretending to be pitiful would make Bai Di change his mind?
Huanhuan took a deep breath and communicated with her with what little patience she had left. “If I really wanted to target you, do you think you could still stand here and talk to me? Have you forgotten how I beat you to the ground back then?”
Doris remembered how she had been beaten until she couldn’t fight back. Her body trembled involuntarily. She suppressed her fear and gritted her teeth. “Do you only know how to solve problems with violence?”
“I only know that the strong are respected. The weak can only tuck their tails between their legs.”
Doris couldn’t argue. She could only look at Bai Di again, hoping he would speak up for her.
However, Bai Di, who was like a hero to her, hugged Huanhuan and smiled. “Huanhuan is right.”
Doris paled.
She realized that although Bai Di always maintained a kind and gentle smile, there was no warmth in it. It was just a mask he used to deal with outsiders.
He only had warmth in his blue eyes when he looked at the little female in his arms.
That was what it really meant to have a gentle smile.
Bai Di asked gently, “Is there anything else? If not, we’ll go back.”
Doris said nothing through her tears.
Bai Di carried Huanhuan and turned to leave.
They had only taken a few steps when they heard Doris call out to Bai Di.
Bai Di stopped and looked back at her. “Yes?”
Doris mustered her courage and said loudly, “Thank you for saving me before. I’ll remember you forever!”
Bai Di smiled. “You’re too kind.”
Then, he carried Huanhuan away.
When they returned to the house, Huanhuan immediately let go of Bai Di’s arm and climbed onto the stool to sit down. She groaned. “Doris will remember you forever!”
Bai Di was puzzled. “Doris?”
“The female elf who thanked you just now. Don’t tell me you don’t even know her name?!”
“To be honest, I still can’t remember who she is or why she thanked me.”
Huanhuan: “…”
She suddenly pitied Doris!
