"It’s good that I’m back. You take a break; I’ll do the cooking." Lu Xiao still had a gentlemanly spirit, naturally he wouldn’t freeload. He walked into the kitchen and started washing vegetables and cutting meat, looking quite the part.
He saw something hanging on the wall that was pink and looked like clothing, but not quite. "What’s this?"
Shen Tang followed his hand with her eyes and smiled as she answered, "It’s an apron that you wear on your chest to prevent oil stains from splashing on your clothes while cooking."
In this world, Beastmen rarely cook, and aprons are unheard of. Shen Tang made it from an old discarded dress. After losing 200 pounds of fat, she couldn’t fit into those oversized clothes she used to wear, so she repurposed them.
"That’s quite convenient." Lu Xiao nodded in approval.
He took the apron off the wall and tied it around his waist.
Shen Tang’s words got stuck in her throat.
Whoa, is this something she could look at?
A strong macho man paired with a pink apron, strangely harmonious.
When Shen Tang wore this apron, it felt a bit loose, like having a breezy cloth hanging on her chest. But Lu Xiao’s robust and tall figure filled the apron, his massive chest muscles especially full, tight, even slightly showing their contours.
Shen Tang’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help but swallow.
Such husband material!
The perfect husband to seek.
One who can fight on the battlefield and enter the kitchen.
Left hand holding a gun, right hand flipping a pan.
Most importantly, he’s handsome, has a good physique, and a stable personality.
Except for not liking her, he was perfect in every way.
Xiao Jin had just returned and saw Shen Tang staring at Lu Xiao with a cheeky look, little hands propping her chin, face full of absorbed admiration and fondness.
His golden eyes narrowed dangerously, his handsome face darkened slightly, and he strode forward, lifting her like a little chick, his voice low and menacing, "I chased those beastly brats all day, and you’re just lounging around at home, gaining weight without exercising! You’re so lazy, get up and work!"
Shen Tang was happily watching the male model but got pulled off the sofa and was furious, "You’re crazy, you stupid leopard!"
Xiao Jin scanned her disdainfully from head to toe, smirking sarcastically, "With that weak chicken body of yours panting after two steps, and you’re calling me crazy?"
Shen Tang rolled her eyes, shook off his hand, and rubbed her sore wrist.
What’s got this leopard all worked up suddenly?
She silently added in her heart.
Absolutely can’t choose a violent maniac like this leopard as a husband!
Lu Xiao watched the two bantering and had a meaningful expression flash across his face.
Among the five Beast Husbands, Xiao Jin hated Shen Tang the most, while his aversion to her showed clearly on his face. Previously, he avoided her like the plague; even getting touched by her nauseated him.
But this time, coming back, Lu Xiao clearly sensed a change in the atmosphere between them.
He wondered what they experienced together while the others weren’t around.
A flicker of interest passed through his deep, gray eyes.
This little female... is becoming more and more intriguing.
Lu Xiao didn’t have much affection for Shen Tang, nor did he particularly detest or like her.
At most, he found her slightly interesting.
Lu Xiao rarely encountered things that interested him.
After leaving the polluted areas, he received a repatriation order from his family, which should have sent him straight back to the Imperial City, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave now.
He’s curious what other interesting changes this female might undergo.
