The Survival of the Wild Tribe

70

The only peach blossom in Luo Zhen's memory seemed to occur when he was in elementary school. Due to family reasons, he was a transfer student for a year. There was a little girl in the next class, but Luo Zhen didn't know this at first. It wasn't until one day when a group of young girls from the next class were joking around on the road and teasing him that Luo Zhen realized a young girl was actually attracted to him.

However, there was no follow-up to this incident. The little girl was probably shy, and she didn’t have the courage to come forward and talk to Luo Zhen until she graduated. Luo Zhen never knew the little girl’s name, and they never saw each other again.

Feeling that the person in his arms seemed distracted, Lu Zhan squeezed Luo Zhen's ears a little dissatisfied. Luo Zhen's earlobes were fleshy, and they felt very good.

Luo Zhen gave a light cough. He didn't know why he would think of things from so long ago, but this time he didn't struggle anymore. Instead, he adjusted his movements to prevent Lu Zhan from seeing the expression on his face and muttered, "In my tribe, getting married without falling in love is considered hooliganism."

"What?" Lu Zhan didn't understand what Luo Zhen meant until Luo Zhen awkwardly explained it to him, at which point he suddenly realized.

But he was still a little puzzled. "According to your tribe, aren't we living together now?" Lu Zhan counted the days. The two had been inseparable for more than three months. They had been together for so long. Were they partners?

Luo Zhen was full of frustration. This person knew how to use the term "cohabitation" after hearing it once. He sat up from the other's arms, and this time Lu Zhan didn't force him to stay.

"No, we are not 'cohabiting'. At most, we can only be considered as 'sharing rent'." Maybe "sharing rent" wasn't accurate, after all, they built the house themselves.

"Sharing rent? Is that also a term from your tribe?" After Luo Zhen revealed that he wasn't a member of the tribe by the Great Lake, most of the words that Lu Zhan used couldn't be understood by him, and he looked dissatisfied. Luo Zhen felt a bit wronged. Wasn't it good to be his partner? He had done his best to take care of him. "So, what are you planning to do now? Can you find a better partner than me?"

Luo Zhen thought about it seriously. In this world, no one treated him better than Lu Zhan, but the problem was that he had never thought about a significant other for more than 20 years. He might be a man, and now he was being asked to say that he was bending. Luo Zhen couldn't accept it all at once. This would also be irresponsible to Lu Zhan.

Having lived among these primitive people for a long time, Luo Zhen didn’t know what people from other tribes were like, but for the Black Panther tribe, they were very loyal to their partners, believing it was a lifelong commitment, without considering finding another if it didn't work out.

Like the old warrior in their tribe. When he was young, his partner fell ill and died one winter. After so many years, he never found a new partner, even though his partner died there. Yes, the old warrior insisted on staying instead of returning to the other side of Changfeng Mountain with the tribe.

Lu Zhan’s father also left the tribe after his partner suddenly disappeared. Luo Zhen once heard others say that it was the other person who went to find his partner. If he couldn't find his partner, he would never return to the tribe in this lifetime.

Although this was very harsh to Lu Zhan, the other fighters understood Lu's father very well, and even the children had to respect their partners.

Seeing and hearing all this firsthand, Luo Zhen didn't want to be too hasty in dealing with Lu Zhan's confession. He knew very well that in the beginning, he could only rely on Lu Zhan to survive. Although his feelings had gradually changed during their time together, it wasn't enough to become the other party's partner right away.
