Extra 2: Jiujiu, Ban Ming's proposal ambassador (continued)

Jiujiu was still huffing and puffing, drawing out its voice: "Heh--"

Ying'ao stepped aside, no longer interfering in Jian Mo and Jiujiu's affairs.

Jian Mo sighed, shifted her position, and sat down next to Jiujiu: "I was really wrong. Jiujiu is the cutest. I only have you two. I won't pay attention to the other chiu anymore."

Jiujiu turned its head, making a soft sound from its nose, sounding a little aggrieved.

Jian Mo nudged Jiujiu with her shoulder. "Really, please forgive me since it's my first time, okay? I promise I won't do it again."

Jian Mo coaxed and coaxed for a long time, and finally Jiujiu was almost calmed down.

However, Jiujiu still wouldn't let Jian Mo touch it.

Every time Jian Mo tried to touch it, it would press Jian Mo's hand down with its paws, directly refusing to let her touch it.

Jian Mo was at her wit's end and could only try to appease him.

Wu Jiong watched Jian Mo and Jiujiu's interaction, his eyes full of laughter. "You won't dare to do it again next time, will you?"

Jian Mo: "Don't even mention daring or not, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."

Jian Mo sighed, "It's my fault. Jiujiu's feelings are so passionate and pure; I hurt it."

Wu Jiong put his arm around Jian Mo's shoulder. "Keep making delicious food for Jiujiu these next couple of days to cheer them up, and take them out to play while you're at it."

Jian Mo thought about it for a moment and thought it was feasible, "Where should we go?"

Wu Jiong: "By the lake, on the snow-capped mountains, in the alpine meadows... or we could go to other tribes."

Jian Mo: "Then I'll write a plan."

Besides comforting their Jiujiu, they can also take the opportunity to go out and play for a while.

Anyway, there's not much to do in the tribe lately, and the weather outside is so nice. It would be a real waste to just stay cooped up in the tribe every day.

Jian Mo hadn't finished writing his plan yet when he saw Ban Ming run to Jiujiu's nest to look for Jiujiu and mutter to Jiujiu for a while.

That appearance was really strange.

Jian Mo called out to Ban Ming with suspicion, "Ban Ming, what are you doing? Why are you acting so suspiciously?"

Ban Ming understood the word and retorted indignantly, "How was I being sneaky? I was discussing important matters with Jiujiu!"

The word "serious business" sounds strange when paired with "Jiujiu".

Jian Mo's smile widened, "What important matter is it?"

Ban Ming hesitated for a moment. "I'm telling you, remember to keep it a secret."

Jian Mo nodded seriously. "Definitely. I'll only talk about it with Wu Jiong at most; I won't gossip about it with anyone else."

Ban Ming immediately said, "No, don't tell the clan leader either."

Jian Mo: "Okay, hurry up and get to it, stop beating around the bush."

Ban Ming took a deep breath and said, "I want to ask Jiujiu to help me and A Meng deliver our tokens of love. I want to ask him to be my partner."

Jian Mo was startled by these words.

He sized up Ban Ming.

Ban Ming has matured considerably in the past two years, completely shedding his boyishness and transforming into a tall and handsome young man, with particularly striking features.

It's not surprising that a young person like this would want to become a partner with their sweetheart.

Jian Mo thought for a moment, "It's a good thing that you and A Meng could become partners, but have you asked his opinion? Is he interested in becoming your partner? If you're not sure, it's best not to make the request to him in public."

Ban Ming said shyly, "We discussed it before, A Meng agreed. I plan to formally bring it up with him again. It just so happens that A Meng and I both really like Jiujiu, so we'd like Jiujiu to deliver this token of our love."

Jian Mo curiously, "How are we going to deliver this?"

Ban Ming refused to say, saying, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Jian Mo thought for a moment, then asked, "If you become a couple, where will you live?"

Ban Ming: "It depends on what A Meng thinks. He can stay in our tribe or I can go to the Xiongying Tribe. I've discussed it with my family, and they have no objections. If I stay in our tribe, everyone will help me collect building materials."

Jian Mo smiled and waved, "Alright. You guys go train yourselves."

Ban Ming, having received permission, happily ran off with Jiujiu.

Ban Ming wanted to ask A Meng for a favor, and even asked Jian Mo to help him invite A Meng to the Riverside Tribe.

Ban Ming said, "A Meng knows my every move too well. If I call him over, he'll immediately guess what it's about, and there won't be any surprise."

Jian Mo said with a smile, "You're really romantic. If I help call some people over, can we come and watch?"

Ban Ming readily agreed, "Sure, A Hu and the others will come to cheer me on too."

Jian Mo: "Then it's settled."

A Meng is Jian Mo's student. Every now and then, he would come to the Riverside Tribe to report to Jian Mo and ask Jian Mo to answer some questions.

It's almost time for the A Meng Riverside Tribe to arrive.

Jian Mo sent a message to A Meng through someone.

As expected, A Meng arrived with a host of questions.

Jian Mo listened attentively to A Meng's report and answered his questions in detail.

Having finished answering the questions, Jian Mo saw from the window of the small clinic that Ban Ming and the others were ready, and said with a smile to A Meng, "Shall we call it a day?"

A Meng nodded and packed his things. "Thank you, teacher. I learned a lot today too."

Jian Mo: "You're welcome. Come on, let's go out."

As soon as they stepped out of the small clinic, they saw Ban Ming waiting outside.

A Meng assumed that Ban Ming had heard the news and come to pick him up, so he wasn't too surprised. He whispered something to Jian Mo, then walked quickly toward Ban Ming with a smile on his face.

Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky.

A Meng subconsciously looked up and saw Jiujiu flying straight towards them, the wind from its flapping wings ruffling his sideburns.

A Meng pressed his hand to his hair. Ban Ming walked to his side, and just then, Jiujiu flew down onto their heads, released its claws, and dropped a wooden box.

Ban Ming caught the wooden box accurately and knelt down on one knee. "A Meng."

A Meng suddenly guessed what Ban Ming was going to do and looked at Ban Ming in surprise.
