Ancient Eden

When Li Mang squatted down and seriously kneaded the soles of her feet with his rough palms, apart from the itchiness, Mu Qing also felt slightly touched in her heart. At the moment, being held in his arms as he walked like this, she couldn’t help but stretch out her hands and hook them around his neck, burying her face in the hair on his chest, and rubbing her face against it slightly like a cat, feeling the soft and rough lines there.

Most of the people in the settlement had gone to sleep by this time. When Li Mang carried her back, he didn’t attract anyone’s attention. Mu Qing hung her clothes and shoes to dry in front of their hut, hoping that when she wakes up tomorrow morning, she could wear them, for until she could find something to replace her underwear, she would not wear the skirt that was so short that she could reveal half of her behind just by bending down.

When Mu Qing was lying beside Li Mang, he kept caressing her body, and even held her hand and lead it to his place down there to do that again. But that was all, he seemed to be holding back, and did not make any further move, until he ended up slowly falling asleep.

Mu Qing felt that his breath was gradually getting steady and even on his side, and when she knew that he had fallen asleep, only then did she slowly remove her hand from his still somewhat hard place, and then gently removed his arm that was pressing against her abdomen, shifted her body to curl up on herself, leaned sideways using her arm as a pillow, and closed her eyes.

Every scene that happened during the daytime flashed in front of her again. In just a day, she felt like she had experienced a dream.

First, she found out that when she struck by that lightning stoke, she had traveled back to at least 10,000 years ago. And then suddenly Yi Jia appeared to harass her. And then a moment ago, she and the man sleeping beside her at this moment, who were originally separated by at least 10,000 years in time, had just had an unfinished intimacy.

She didn’t feel like she had regrets about the unfinished operation by the stream just before, but she was just a little puzzled, since he had wanted her more than once on that night a few days ago, why did he suddenly stop halfway tonight, exactly the same as those several times before?

Mu Qing thought for a while, but when she couldn’t think of any reasonable explanation, she snorted secretly, thinking in her heart that if he didn’t mess with her, she would be very happy, that would save her from worrying about her dangerous period all day like she had a few days ago, feeling that a bomb was hanging on the top of her head, which would explode tragically at any time…

Mu Qing suddenly opened her eyes, and a strange thought passed by her mind.

He was touching her every night, but for half a month, the only time he really shot his gun was during her dangerous period!

The following nights, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had to go hunting that beast, he would have done the same as the night before. Remembering how he had constantly smelled her body odor every night, and his abnormal behavior by the stream just now, a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind that she had heard from somewhere: “Animals in nature usually choose females to mate during estrus to ensure that the chance of reproduction is improved….”

Although she still didn’t know how he could grasp such subtle changes in her body so accurately, or why he acted so abnormally, her thought just now was the only reasonable explanation for his abnormal behavior at night during the past half a month.

Could it be that this man, who was living in a primitive jungle, still retained the original characteristics of male animals, and was seeing her as a female, as a means to reproduce?

In the dim night, Mu Qing stared at the man who was lying on his back and sleeping in disbelief, and it took her a lot of effort to resist her urge to kick him awake.
