Chapter 382 Confession
Xiong Zhi had never been so close to any male orc before. Xiong Zhan's powerful arms were placed on the armrests of the chair, the veins on his arms bulging, as if he was restraining something.
His eyes were slightly lowered, his gaze fixed on me with a deep intensity, and a strong masculine aura emanated from him.
He seemed to have never seen a bear fight like this before.
Xiong Zhi was momentarily stunned, and blurted out unconsciously, "You seem to have grown a lot taller..."
Xiong Zhan was so angry at his words that he almost laughed. He leaned down slightly, bringing his handsome face close to the orc in front of him. "Brother, do you still think of me as the cub from ten years ago?"
As Xiong Zhan moved, Xiong Zhi felt like he couldn't breathe, and he instinctively tried to push Xiong Zhan away.
No push.
Xiong Zhi was somewhat annoyed. She looked up and glared at Xiong Zhan slightly. "What kind of talk is this? Get up!"
Seeing his actions, Xiong Zhan slightly curled the corners of his lips. "Brother, have you forgotten? I'm already an adult." I'm no longer the little brat he used to be able to pick up and beat.
“No matter how old you are, you’re still my younger brother!” Xiong Zhi retorted instinctively.
These words seemed to unveil Xiong Zhan's deepest thoughts.
With a stern face, he leaned close to the orc's ear and said, "But I don't want to be your brother anymore."
For a moment, Xiong Zhi didn't realize the meaning behind his words and just stared blankly at Xiong Zhan.
What does this mean? Is Xiong Zhan trying to distance himself from him?
Could it be because I've been neglecting his feelings too much lately?
At this moment, Xiong Zhi seemed to have lost her mind.
Looking at the orc's dazed expression, Xiong Zhan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
Did your brother understand what he meant?
Before he could say anything, Xiong Zhi blurted out, "Don't you want me anymore?"
Silence, very silence, utter silence.
Xiong Zhan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Xiong Zhi, utterly perplexed.
He shouldn't have had any other expectations of Xiong Zhi!
Xiong Zhan quickly stuffed the sub-orc group into his arms, and the words that had been buried deep in his heart and that he had wanted to say countless times finally burst forth at this moment.
He placed his head on the orc's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, of course I want you. But I want you to be my orc."
Are you willing?
Why bother with such euphemisms?
Given Xiong Zhi's dim-witted nature, if he really waits any longer, he might really end up like Lang Cang said, having to take care of Xiong Zhi's cubs!
By then, Xiong Zhan wouldn't dare to ask Lang Cang how he would laugh at him.
Xiong Zhi blinked, as if she hadn't heard what the male beastman said.
He froze for a few seconds, then repeated blankly, "Are you willing or not?"
Willing or not? Did he just lose his memory?
Xiong Zhan asked who he wanted to be his sub-orc.
Xiong Zhan didn't even give him a chance to react, saying decisively, "Even if you don't want to, I'm going to be your male orc!"
From now on, Xiong Zhi will beat up any male beastmen with ill intentions around him!
We'll beat them so badly that not a single orc will dare to have any designs on Xiong Zhi again!
Upon hearing his words, Xiong Zhi seemed to wake from a dream and instinctively tried to break free from Xiong Zhan's hand around her waist.
Xiong Zhan secretly increased the pressure on her hand, and Xiong Zhi's strength was simply not enough to break free from him.
"Zhi, if you don't want to, is it because you have a male beastman you like?" Xiong Zhan turned his head and suddenly looked aggrieved, pleadingly looking at the sub-beastman.
Xiong Zhi simply didn't know how to respond to him. "Let go of my hand first!"
Seeing the flames about to erupt in the orc's eyes, Xiong Zhan wisely released his grip, though a hint of disappointment lingered in his eyes.
Xiong Zhi couldn't bear to see Xiong Zhan like this. Xiong Zhan was someone Xiong Zhi had taken in. The old giant bear chieftain was usually quite busy, and most of the time only he and Xiong Zhan, the two cubs, were in the tent. The two of them had grown up together since they were little.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly think this way?" Xiong Zhi stood in front of the male beastman, leaning against the table and trying to appear calm as she looked at him.
Xiong Zhan suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Xiong Zhi. "It wasn't sudden!"
"Brother, no, Xiong Zhi!"
Xiong Zhan suddenly stood up, but after noticing a slight unease in Xiong Zhi's eyes, he sat down again and looked up at him.
This submissive stance greatly alleviated Xiong Zhi's inner anxiety.
Although it's not outwardly apparent, Xiong Zhi is actually a person with an extremely strong desire for control. He doesn't want anything to escape his control, and the fear of the unknown makes him feel extremely uneasy.
So Xiong Zhan caught him completely off guard, looking at him with bright eyes and saying, "I like you, a long, long time ago, long before Shi Ming appeared."
“You are everyone’s older brother, the backbone of the cubs, and my faith.”
Without hesitation, Xiong Zhan knelt down in front of Xiong Zhi and said, "I was greedy. I was originally a cub you picked up. The appearance of Shi Ming made me realize the cruelty of reality."
"I have no parents, no powerful backers, and my status is not as noble as yours, the son of the clan chief..."
Xiong Zhi frowned and interrupted him, "How could you possibly be inferior to that scoundrel Shi Ming?"
What is that thing? How dare it be compared to Xiong Zhan?
Hearing him defend him like this, a hint of joy flashed in Xiong Zhan's eyes. He shook his head with a wry smile, "But back then, the two of you did look very well-matched."
"I suppressed these feelings deep in my heart. At the time, I thought that if you like Shiming, I can be your younger brother forever and support you for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhi's expression immediately softened, and her eyes showed some heartache.
Xiong Zhan quickly noticed this unusual movement and reached out to tentatively pull on the Raya orc's finger.
Sensing that he did not resist him, Xiong Zhan quickly continued, "But Shi Ming is not a good person, Zhi. I would not feel at ease handing you over to anyone after this, not to mention that I am unwilling to give you to any sub-beastman."
"Zhi, I like you. Can you give me a chance?" Xiong Zhan tilted his head slightly, looking extremely cautious yet full of anticipation.
Xiong Zhi's already wavering heart was now even more steadfast. He looked down at the male beastman in front of him, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one word: "Okay."
