When you had been treated by a kid and monkey only then you can say to other people in the world that you've been through everything and that's how Lory feels right now.

The little boy stomach suddenly grumbles he feel embarrassed when Lory looking at him, Lory chuckle lightly then she waves her hand again and a two wooden box of bento appear on her hand, a leftover when she enters the ancient tomb thankfully the spatial ring is more advance then refrigerator because the time stop inside the ring so the food can't spoil inside her ring.

​​

"Here, let's eat!" she gives the bento box for the little boy, he looked confused when he received the strange box but when he opened the box the delicious fragrant hit his nostril and his eyes glint with happiness, the boy looked at Lory gratefully but Lory doesn't realize she is too busy searching for a flat rock to sit.

Lory found a quite big flat rock to sits than she beckoned the little boy, with her chubby leg he tottering toward her than he sits next to her he impatiently open the box than he swallows a mouthful of rice with and meat with beaming face.

Lory watches him with a smile, for a boy stays in the woods without a grown man watching him is puzzled her and make her very worried about his safety.

"What's your name?" Lory asked.

"Shin Jiu," he said while chewing her food.

"Why are you here all alone?" Lory got curious how a child could end up in the jungle alone.

After he gulped his food, he looks at Lory with a sad expression "I'm not alone, I have my grandpa but...but grandpa hurt" he looks downcast and tear roll on his cheeks "He told me to run…..so I….I'm afraid…."

Lory patted his head gently "You did a right thing, thankfully you are safe" Lory gentle smile make Shin Jiu tears fall even more her chubby hand try to wipe his tears but more tears keep on falling, Lory feel bad for the little boy she stroked his head gently to comfort him.

"Come on, eat first then tell me what happened" Lory coaxed him.

The boy didn't say anything only nod his head profusely, it been a while for other people to treat him nicely beside his grandpa. He doesn't understand why a lot of people wanted to hurt him, he and his grandpa have traveled everywhere but the people who want to hurt him never lesser, he had asked about this to his grandpa than his grandpa told him because he is special and they all envy him that's why they want to hurt him but still, the little boy can not understand what so special about him to infuriated other people.

After they finish eating Lory brew 'Pink blossom tea' for both of them, the little boy surprised when he saw the pink tea, he never saw tea with pink color and it tastes sweet too even without a sugar, the little boy thought she had puck up a fortuned when he help this mysterious woman.

"Big sister, what's your name?" he asked while holding a teacup.

"Luo Ri Yi," Lory said casually.

Shin Jiu startle as he remembers something important and his face turn bright red, he looks at Lory nervously "Uhm…. Sister Luo, I…I'm the one who…..uhm… bandaged you're wound that day…" he stutters his words.

"Uh-huh, thank you for that" Lory doesn't understand what make this kid nervous.

The boy clenched the teacup with both his hand "I…I saw…Uhm you, so I…I…I will take responsibility!" he try to be firm but his red face betrays him.

Lory didn't understand what the boy means "Huh?"

"Grandpa said, A man must take responsibility for his action, so….so…I…I will marry you, sister Luo!" he said with determined eyes.

Lory looks at him with the blank expression "You what...?" she wonders if she heard wrong.

"Because I have seen everything so…its my responsibility to marry you, I'm a man so…." He insists to take responsibility as a man, although he is a cute little man.

"Wait!" Lory raised his hand to stop him, Lory smile awkwardly "Shin Ju, you don't have to worry, this is the problem…I already have fiancée so there's no need for you to take any responsibility, for me, okay"

"You have a fiancée?" he looks at him with a disbelieving expression that hurt Lory a little bit.

"Yes, and he is a good man we will get married soon" Lory mixed the truth with a little bit of lie, who knew when they would get married but for now she needs to calm him down.

"But, you're fiancé might feel disappointed if he knew you have an illicit relationship with other men," he feel remorse and sad.

"Which man?" Lory confuses since when she has an illicit relationship, how could she don't know?

"Me!" said the boy innocently.

"You?" Lory baffle.

"Yes," the boy nodded his head cutely.

"...."

Lory pinches the bridge between her eyebrows as she felt the upcoming headache, so because he accidentally saw her half-naked in order to patch her wound so this is considered as illicit relationship, Lory glad she's not in her old world if not, she would have explained a lot of things to the authority why a child asked her to be his wife.

"Don't worry, I don't think he would mind" Lory let out a long sigh, she too tired to explain further.

"Really?" the boy exclaimed in relief.

And Lory feel hurt again "Yeah really!" she assured him with slight annoyance on her face.

"Thank God…." he pressed his chest with a relieved expression.

"....."

'Ah, my poor frail heart…'

All of the sudden Lory hear the 'growl' sound she raised from her seat swiftly and cover the little boy behind her, a white tiger with a bloody red rabbit on his mouth appear from behind the bush, Lory take out her dagger in reflex but the little boy peek behind her than she exclaimed "Zi Zi, where were you!" he complains and the giant white tiger put down the rabbit on the ground and growl weakly.

"You…you knew that tiger?" Lory was shocked beyond belief.

"Yes, that my friend, Bai Zi!" he said with a cute smile.

Lory's eyes bulged widely but the boys seem not lying and the tiger look…docile, Lory heaved heavily and sheathed her dagger back to her arms "Okay…." He sigh.

The tiger brings the dead rabbit and put it down on the boy's feet, Shun Ju frown in disgust "Zi Zi, how many time I told you, I don't know how to eat this, why you keep bringing me a dead animal, you should eat it by yourself!" he grumbles.

The tiger whine with sad eyes make Lory feel bad "Hey, wait a minute…..I can do something with it" Lory tries to comfort the boy and perhaps the tiger too.

"You can cook?" the boy face beamed with hope.

Lory doesn't want to disappoint the little man "Uhm…. I can do barbeque if you don't mind with rustic flavor" Lory smile wryly. if she remembers correctly there still stomached medicine in his spatial ring right?
