Restoration (1)

"Hmm?"

Although Tiger Girl was asleep and familiar with the feeling, the movement indicated that she was waking up. If she hadn't been so tired, she would have already woken up.

Yes, she must have been too tired. Don't forget, she had been fully engaged in the "war" before, and she rarely rested because of her command duties. Plus, she went on the field at the end, which made her physical exertion even greater.

Then she didn't rest, and kept talking to Ye Lang, which made her very tired!

And perhaps it was because she liked sleeping in Ye Lang's arms, a feeling that made her not want to wake up, wanting to stay asleep like that forever...

Only--

"Tiger Girl, wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!!"

Ye Lang, completely oblivious to romance, pushed the Tiger Girl in his arms, waking Tiger Girl up.

"It's so late, young master, please wait a moment. I'll go prepare some water for you to wash your face..." Tiger Girl woke up, checked the time, and prepared to go out. She had absolutely no temper with Ye Lang.

Even if Ye Lang disturbed her when she was most sleepy, she wouldn't get angry, let alone now that she had had enough sleep.

"Squeak..."

Tiger Girl opened the wooden door to the room, and for a moment she froze, simply because she was a little taken aback by what she saw outside.

She was confused; was this still the house she knew?

"What's wrong?"

Ye Lang noticed Tiger Girl's reaction and came over to take a look. He wasn't fooled by what he saw and simply said, "Nothing, Tiger Girl, why are you spacing out?"

"It's nothing..." Tiger Girl said weakly. This situation is nothing? I guess only you could say that, and only you didn't notice this change.

The house is still the same house, but overnight a lot of things were broken, as if it had been ransacked by robbers!

"What on earth is going on? How could I be sleeping so soundly? It's like this outside, and I'm still sleeping..." Tiger Girl was not only puzzled by the situation in front of her, but also secretly shocked that she had been so unaware.

Actually, it's not that Tiger Girl wasn't alert; it's that everything that seemed to cause a big commotion actually happened in an instant, and someone deliberately suppressed the noise to avoid waking the people inside.

Before Tiger Girl could think for long, a voice reached their ears. "So you two really are inside, a man and a woman alone together. Don't you think there's a problem?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Tiger Girl saw a fox standing far away in the entryway. Yes, it was a fox!

"Athena, what are you doing at my house?" Tiger Girl said somewhat unhappily. This fox was Athena, and after Athena "kidnapped" Ye Lang, Tiger Girl had become disliked her.

Athena didn't come alone; she was accompanied by Taiya, a member of the Cat Tribe!

"Oh, Taiya's here too. You're both here quite early." Ye Lang greeted them with a smile. He didn't dislike the two of them; on the contrary, he had a good impression of Taiya, although that good impression was very limited.

"It's still early..." Athena and Taiya were both a little exhausted. They had arrived here quite early, but now it was getting late!

"Young Master, why are you still being so polite to them? Don't pay any attention to them anymore. They're all bad people." Tiger Girl knew Ye Lang was slow to realize things, and that sometimes he wouldn't even notice when someone was plotting against him.

"But they're not bad people!" Ye Lang replied blankly.

These words seemed to be interpreted differently by Athena and the other woman than by Tiger Girl!

Athena believed that Ye Lang was explaining things to them, saying that if they were good people and not bad people, then they were naturally good people!

Of course, the two quickly understood that Ye Lang's words, while not derogatory, were not exactly complimentary either!

Tiger Girl nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. They're not exactly bad people, just somewhere in between!"

"..." Athena was speechless for a moment. She had no way to refute this assessment, because it was already good enough that the other party didn't call her a bad person.

"Although this war is just a drill, and I know you won't hurt the young master, the fact that you're using him as a hostage still makes me unhappy. You're not welcome here, so please leave!" Tiger Girl issued an order to leave. She might hold a grudge about this for the rest of her life, and she and Athena wouldn't resolve this feud so easily.

Even if Athena uses despicable means this time, or even if it's aimed at her, as long as Ye Lang isn't involved, she won't care.

Ye Lang was her Achilles' heel; she wouldn't allow anyone to touch him!

"Since you know this, why did you give up so easily? Is he really that important to you?" Athena asked again, increasingly unable to understand this question.

In her original plan, she was to negotiate with Tiger Girl. She thought Tiger Girl wouldn't accept her terms so easily and would try to bargain with her. However, she didn't expect Tiger Girl to agree without saying a word or hesitating at all.

"I don't want to answer this question again. I won't let Young Master suffer any injustice, not even the slightest bit!" Tiger Girl said calmly. As she spoke, she had already prepared water and was helping Ye Lang wash his face and straighten his clothes...

"..."

Athena remained silent. Tiger Girl's words touched her deeply. She could now more or less understand Ye Lang's position in Tiger Girl's heart, which was even greater than she had imagined.

She couldn't understand why Tiger Girl, who had once been Ye Lang 'Ye Lang slave, would have such feelings for him, and why she was still serving him now.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" After Tiger Girl finished serving Ye Lang, she noticed that Athena and Taiya were still in a daze. Athena was thinking about something, while Taiya was staring blankly at her.

Tiger Girl didn't care. She thought that Taiya was envious of her because Taiya had similar experiences, but she met Ye Lang, while Taiya's master was obviously not good enough and was worlds apart from Ye Lang.

In fact, Taiya was indeed making comparisons, but not only about their experiences, but also about the ways the two of them served Ye Lang. She had also been Ye Lang's female slave for a few days and served Ye Lang in the same way.

Before meeting Tiger Girl, she thought she had served Ye Lang perfectly, but now she realized that it wasn't perfect at all!

No wonder he couldn't forget her and recognized her at first glance. Although he had mistaken people before, it didn't seem to matter at all...
