Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Chapter 562: I Don’t Like Him

Shen Tang was enjoying her meal, a bit of soup clinging to her lips, and Xiao Jin immediately took out a napkin to wipe it off, considerately asking, "Slow down, no rush. Are you full? Should we have the owner cook another bowl for you?"

After a bowl of hot noodle soup, Shen Tang already felt full. "No need, you should eat more, we have to rest for a while anyway."

Male beastmen have a large physical expenditure, and their appetite is bigger too. Xiao Jin ordered two more baskets of fresh meat buns, barely reaching seventy percent full.

The boy quietly watched the harmonious interaction between the two, seeming like no one could intervene. His long eyelashes lowered, gently stirring the noodle soup in his bowl, creating rings of ripples.

Clearly a starving stray child, but facing the food in front of him, he seemed to have no appetite.

Shen Tang noticed his anomaly and asked with concern, "Is the food here not to your taste?"

The boy shook his head and quickly finished his bowl of noodles, soup and all, in one go. As he stood up, his steps were unsteady, and he collapsed heavily to the ground after just two steps.

"Ah Lian!" Shen Tang hurriedly rushed forward to support him, and upon checking closely, she found his face getting paler and his body as light as if without bones.

Xiao Jin was also startled by the sudden situation, quickly stuffing the last half of a meat bun into his mouth, striding over, frowning enough to squash a fly. "What’s going on? Why does this person faint at the drop of a hat?"

"Stop with the cold jokes, help me hold him, I’ll check again." Shen Tang urgently said.

Although the boy was thin, he was still a half-grown beastman, and holding him was quite strenuous, nearly causing her to fall together.

Xiao Jin felt a bit jealous; anyone would be upset seeing their partner caring so much for another male, even if he was just an underage boy. A male’s jealousy doesn’t care about those details; isn’t it just a few years before he grows up?

Along the way, he had been hoping to spend a few days of sweet couple time with Tangtang, but unexpectedly a burden that faints at every turn joined halfway, how annoying!

Despite feeling displeased, Xiao Jin didn’t show it. He obediently took the boy from Shen Tang’s arms, making it easier for her to use her healing ability, yet he saw her brows knitting tighter and tighter.

After all, a pitiful beastman, Xiao Jin couldn’t help but feel worried. "How is it? Did you find out anything?"

Shen Tang shook her head. "It’s too strange..."

She pondered, "I’m not sure what this child has been through, but his constitution is extremely weak. To put it bluntly, his current condition is... like wandering on the brink of life and death, hanging on by a thread."

She couldn’t bear to say more and released him, saying to Xiao Jin, "Take him back to the car to rest first, I’ll slowly help him recuperate."

Xiao Jin nodded, carrying the boy back to the car’s resting room.

The beastmen in the team had also finished dining, and he disembarked to organize the team for departure.

Shen Tang sat by the bedside, patiently healing Ah Lian. After a while, the boy gradually came to life, his complexion a bit rosier, not so pale anymore. "Sister..."

Shen Tang held his hand and softly asked, "Feeling better now?"

Ah Lian was momentarily dazed, realizing he had fainted again, he said shamefully, "Thank you, sister, I’ve troubled you again." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"It’s okay, your body is too weak, recovery takes time, there’s no rush in this short moment, it will get better little by little." Shen Tang gently stroked his hair comfortingly, "You rest well first, I won’t disturb you anymore."

As she was about to get up to leave, Ah Lian lightly tugged at the corner of her clothes, "I-I’m scared... Sister, can you stay with me a bit longer?"

These soft calls of "sister" made Shen Tang’s heart melt. She was also worried that Ah Lian’s body was too weak and might have more problems, so she nodded in agreement, pulled a chair to sit by the bed, "Sleep well, sister is here with you."

"Hmm."

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the female, the boy seemed much more at ease. He buried half his face into the pillow, gradually sinking into slumber.

Time quietly passed, and Shen Tang couldn’t help but yawn, closing her eyes for a nap.

Suddenly, the boy on the bed opened his eyes, those eyes black as an abyss. He quietly watched the sleepy female, fingers hanging on the side slightly moving.

At that moment, urgent footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Tangtang, are you here?"

A hint of darkness flashed across the boy’s eyes, he closed them again, pretending to be still in sleep.

Xiao Jin pushed the door open, saw Shen Tang asleep in the chair, and quickly stride in, holding her in his arms, chiding gently, "Why did you fall asleep here?"

Shen Tang rubbed her eyes awake, subconsciously looked towards the bed and lowered her voice to say softly, "Ah Lian, he..."

Xiao Jin felt even more jealous, "What could happen to him? He’s sleeping well, it’s early, we won’t reach the next stop until afternoon, you should go back and catch some sleep."
