Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 161

This topic probably triggered Yuan's inner defenses, and her attitude towards Jiang Luoluo softened completely.

He answered Jiang Luoluo's various small questions with more patience, and even became more talkative without realizing it.

In these scattered conversations, Jiang Luoluo tentatively brought up the topic of Zao little by little, "Is the relationship between Yuan and Zao very good?"

Yuan was slightly taken aback. "Very good?"

“Yes, Yuan seems to know a lot about building things.” Jiang Luoluo pretended not to see Yuan’s complicated expression and said in a simple tone.

"...Our relationship isn't good." Yuan retorted to Jiang Luoluo after a moment of silence.

Somewhat surprisingly, Yuan didn't say how much she hated Zao, but rather how much Zao "disliked her".

It seems that Yuan used Jiang Luoluo as a rare outlet for his emotions, or perhaps the cubs simply have the ability to make people open up and communicate with them. So Yuan said a lot of things that she had kept hidden in her heart.

For example, they were very critical of her, disapproved of her various habits, and felt that all the stone tools she made were too "niche" and not versatile enough...

Every word, every detail, is piercing to the heart.

Looking at Yuan's gloomy eyes, Jiang Luoluo suddenly felt sorry for her. Every day after she left Zao and lived here independently, these criticisms from Zao echoed in her heart.

It's no wonder she reacted that way to the fabrication.

However, the deeper the hatred, the stronger the affection and love in one's heart.

Yuan himself may not be aware of it, but Jiang Luoluo, as an observer and listener, could clearly see that when he mentioned Zao, in addition to the hatred, there was also a lot of nostalgia.

Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized something.

What Yuan truly hates may not be the criticisms he receives... but rather, the act of leaving.

Yes, what Yuan couldn't let go of the most was that she had been driven away by Zao. She wanted to go back, even if Zao criticized her constantly, she still wanted to go back to Zao's side.

She didn't hate Zao... she just didn't want to leave Zao.

So... Jiang Luoluo's thoughts started to wander.

Yuan didn't dislike the clansman named Shou; in fact, she even had some different feelings for him. However, she firmly rejected him because once she got married, she would never be able to go back to Zao's place again.

Huh? Jiang Luoluo was shocked by her own thoughts, but after carefully observing the source, she discovered that this reason was actually the reason why the source had been refusing to stay.

……

"Luo, what are you thinking about?" Ge asked with some concern.

After leaving Yuan's house, Jiang Luoluo remained in a daze, lost in thought, as if she were pondering something.

Jiang Luoluo snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No... uh..."

Jiang Luoluo was unsure whether to tell Ge, because she felt that this was a rather private matter for Yuan, and if she spoke carelessly, it might hurt Yuan.

But after thinking about it for a long time by myself, I'm still not entirely sure.

So Jiang Luoluo shared her thoughts with Ge.

Jiang Luoluo felt that Yuan might have a bit of a "mother complex." She regarded Zao as her mother and was very dependent on him, to the point that she would gladly endure being hurt by Zao.

However, whether Zao discovered this or for some other reason, he resolutely drove Yuan away, causing Yuan to now feel a sense of "love turned to hate" when facing Zao.

In reality, no matter how much he "hated" Zao, Yuan's approach was simply to "become a cold and ruthless stone tool making machine," making Zao regret it.

Uh... the tribesmen are really too naive.
