Chapter 42: Crying? Xu Nian: Feng Xue narrowed his eyes, are you nervous? ...

A pack of wolves is not easy to deal with. It was not easy for Los to escape from the pack. The wound on his abdomen was a bit deep. Although the bleeding had stopped, some blood would still seep out of the wound as long as he moved, which made Xu Nian a little anxious.

He didn't dare sleep next to Los at night, fearing that he would press on his wound. When he was about to lie down outside with his tail in his mouth, he heard Los's dissatisfied voice and said, "Come here."

"I'll sleep outside tonight." Xu Nian lay on the ground, his tail wagging gently. His dirty face looked much better after cleaning it with the snow, though he looked a little tired. He glanced at Los nervously and explained in a low voice, "I tend to move around when I'm asleep, and I'm afraid I might touch your wound. I'd better sleep outside. I have thick fur anyway, so I'm not afraid of wind and snow."

He spoke sincerely, but in fact his fur was messed up by the biting cold wind, making him look both pitiful and ridiculous.

"Come to me, or I'll go to you." Los looked at Xu Nian. Seeing that he refused to move, he simply stood up and went to Xu Nian's side. Seeing that Los was not joking, Xu Nian quickly got up and said anxiously, "Don't move. Your wound is not healed yet."

"..." Los looked at the wound on his abdomen silently. It just looked serious. In fact, he had suffered many injuries much more serious than this. However, looking at Xu Nian's nervous expression, for some reason, Los felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It tilted its head slightly, its eyes falling on Xu Nian, and seeing that he lay obediently beside it, Los licked Xu Nian, and the two snow leopards stuck together again. Los's tail rested lightly on Xu Nian's waist, and then he gently licked the wound on Xu Nian's claws, which was the place where he had been scratched by the wolf's fangs. The wound was not deep and had healed a lot, but Los still felt a little annoyed when he saw it.

"I'm going to catch a marmot tomorrow." Xu Nian whispered, "Actually, I saw a marmot today, but it ran too fast and I didn't catch it."

As Los listened to Xu Nian speak, his furry ears moved slightly twice, but he did not interrupt Xu Nian. His eyes fell on the other person, motioning Xu Nian to continue.

"If I could be faster, more powerful... I could catch it." Xu Nian began to regret that he did not practice hunting hard enough. That was why he saw the marmot but could not catch it. If Los had seen it, he would definitely have caught it.

Hearing this, Los bit Xu Nian's neck lightly. The force was not strong, but it made Xu Nian a little confused. Los said calmly: "You have tried very hard. It's amazing."

Xu Nian has always been a very hardworking snow leopard and there is absolutely no such thing as laziness. Los has been living with Xu Nian and he knows too well how honest, well-behaved and hardworking this snow leopard is.

Before Los was injured, his mood was always unstable. Now that he was injured, his mood was so stable that the snow leopard was a little surprised. Xu Nian couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and happened to meet Los's gaze. He turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Xu Nian thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "The wolf...didn't hurt your head?"

"Huh." Ross narrowed his eyes.

"I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that you'll have problems with your sense of smell like I did..." Xu Nian saw that Los's mood was getting unstable again, so he quickly put on an obedient appearance, rubbed against Los, and whispered, "I have a brain injury right now, and my sense of smell is not working. Only I know how uncomfortable and terrifying this feeling is. It's terrifying to suddenly lose your sense of smell. I'm worried that you'll go through the same terrible thing as me."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with sincerity. In order to increase the credibility of his words, he even raised his paws and scratched Los quietly and carefully, then gently twitched his nose, his eyes revealing the disappointment of not being able to smell anything.

"..." Los licked Xu Nian vigorously and said, "Didn't you lose your sense of smell a long time ago?"

Xu Nian almost bit his tongue. He had said a long time ago that he should review what he said every day to prevent being exposed, but he was helpless as to how a snow leopard could have such a good memory!

His eyes flashed quickly, and he rubbed Los gently. When he was indecisive, he would rub the snow leopard next to him first, which would at least buy him a few minutes of thinking time. Sure enough, after he rubbed it, Los's tail shook slightly with pleasure.

Then it heard Xu Nian sighing and saying helplessly: "It doesn't matter when or how many times I lose my sense of smell. I'm used to it anyway. I just hope that I'm the only one who experiences this. You just need to be safe and healthy."

After saying this, he fixed his gaze on Los and said firmly, "You need to get better. You need to be safe and healthy."

He did not lie to Los about this. He really thought so in his heart. Perhaps it was the overly sincere look that made Los a little unable to resist. He gently turned his head and simply took Xu Nian into his arms.

Although I always feel something is strange, it doesn’t matter. The snow leopard in my arms is all I can think of.

"The only smart thing Luo Yin did in her life was to let you come to me." Luo Si lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Nian in his arms. He gently sniffed the obedient snow leopard and said, "That's good."

Its eyes were very calm as it repeated the lie Xu Nian had told it before. Xu Nian nodded slightly, but for some reason, he saw a brief smile in Los's eyes.

For a moment, he even thought that Los had discovered that he was lying, but after reviewing Los's behavior, it didn't seem like he had guessed the truth.

When mentioning Luoyin, Xu Nian would inevitably think of not only wolves and brown bears, but also other snow leopards, including but not limited to Luoyin.

Luo Yin is Los’s elder brother, so he might not do anything to them, but what about the other snow leopards? They can climb up the mountain, so will they take advantage of the situation and sneak in at this time?

Thinking of this, Xu Nian tensed up again. He has always been like this, very cautious and timid but dares to do dangerous things, such as now curled up in the arms of a beast and cowardly deceiving the other party.

"No." Xu Nian also discovered a problem. Maybe Luo Yin would not do anything to Los, but to Luo Yin, he was just a strange snow leopard. At that time, Luo Yin would not show mercy to him.

After all, Xu Nian took a lot of blame for Luo Yin, so it was good enough that the other party didn't chase him.

"What's wrong?" Los thought Xu Nian was talking in his sleep, so he licked Xu Nian soothingly, hugged the snow leopard tighter, sniffed Xu Nian's scent, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered, "Go to sleep, you need some rest too."

Sleep is a great way to heal a wounded beast.

However, Los had lost a lot of blood and was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep again. However, Xu Nian couldn't fall asleep at all. He checked on Los's wounds from time to time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the wounds were healing well.

Ever since Xu Nian dug out a hare from a hole last time, Los wouldn't let him go down the mountain to hunt alone. He insisted that he would take Xu Nian hunting himself after he recovered in a few days.

Although Los said that he didn't need to go hunting, Xu Nian could see that Los's fur was losing its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it looked weaker and duller. Xu Nian licked his paws, knowing that this would not work.

So he decided to call Kaie to go hunting together, but he did not tell Kaie about Los's injury. He just gently reminded Kaie that if they did not hunt now, when the blizzard became a disaster, the snow leopard would really starve to death.

Kaie was soon persuaded by him.

"Loss didn't follow you this time?" Kaie didn't notice Loss and asked curiously, "Doesn't he always follow you around, never leaving your side?"

"Prey is too hard to find. It will be faster if we search separately." Xu Nian heard this and said with a half-smile, "Do you want to hunt with it? Sure, I can tell it when I get back."

"No, I haven't," Kaie said without hesitation. "It hurts just thinking about it."

Kai'e, who had been beaten by both Luo Yin and Los, felt that these two brothers might be his disaster, so it would be better for him to stay away from them.

It was not until the evening when Xu Nian finally hunted a marmot with the help of Kaie. He slowly crawled back to the nest with the marmot that he had hunted with great effort in his mouth. However, as he was walking up, he saw a figure standing on the mountain wall and looking towards him.

Xu Nian's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly quickened his pace, fearing that Los would insist on going down the mountain regardless of his injuries.

"Why are you up? The wound from yesterday is still bleeding." Xu Nian climbed up with difficulty, put down the marmot in his mouth, and said happily, "Look, I caught a marmot."

He excitedly lowered his head and pushed the marmot to Los's paw, completely unaware of Los's tail that was almost about to explode.

Los was really about to explode with rage. He stared at the disobedient snow leopard in front of him. Not only was it dirty, but its fur was also messy. The furry creature he had worked so hard to raise had become thinner. Most importantly,

"Didn't I say wait a few days, until my injury heals, and then I'll take you hunting."

Hearing this, Xu Nian squatted down in front of Los, tilted his head slightly, and said, "But your injuries are serious. You can't go without food. Besides, I was hunting nearby, not very far away..."

"The wolves knew I was injured, so how could they not come this way?!" Los gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If you encounter the wolves alone, I won't be able to save you in time!"

"I didn't go there alone. I went to see Kaie." Xu Nian argued softly, "I had a backup plan. I was very cautious. If anything went wrong, I would have left immediately."

"You leave immediately? If you are really cut off by the wolves, can you escape?" Los's voice was heavy, and he was obviously on the verge of anger. God knows when he woke up to find that his arms were empty and he couldn't find Xu Nian anywhere, he was really panicked.

It was afraid that Xu Nian would encounter danger somewhere it couldn't see. It knew too well what would happen to a poor snow leopard that was alone and couldn't find any prey.

Xu Nian was stunned by the roar, and fearing that Los's wound would split, he could only carefully push the marmot a little closer to Los and tentatively explained, "You... don't be angry, I'm really careful. If I really can't find you, I'll come back immediately. I'm wandering around this side of the rock wall. Wolves can't climb up the rock wall."

Los was very angry. The panic of not being able to find Xu Nian had not yet dissipated. He took a few deep breaths and said nothing.

Xu Nian raised his paw, trying to please Los, but met his fierce gaze and took a step back in fear. He sat down in front of Los, bewildered, just like when he first met Los a month ago, and said cautiously and flatteringly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I was wrong."

This was his usual tactic, and he knew very well that Los would be very susceptible to it. As long as he gave in and admitted defeat, no matter how angry Los was, he would be much easier to coax, and this time was no exception.

However, just as he was about to take a step forward, he squinted his eyes because of the sudden blowing snow and wind. His eyes suddenly felt sore, and he subconsciously raised his paws to rub his sore and painful eyes.

"You...you're crying?"

Before Xu Nian could put down his paws that were rubbing his eyes, he heard a voice that sounded surprised and a little nervous.

He raised his eyes with tears in his eyes and looked at Los. He was already in a very bad state trying to catch marmots, and he hadn't had a good time these past few days. The hair on his body was standing on end, and he looked very pitiful. Now he looked at Los with tears in his eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

Los was stunned, his voice almost stuttering instantly: "I...Xu Nian, you...don't cry. I didn't yell at you..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian subconsciously tilted his head slightly, and his furry ears trembled slightly several times. In Los's eyes, Xu Nian looked aggrieved and scared, and so well-behaved that it made the leopard feel distressed. Los immediately softened his heart.

It immediately came over, licked Xu Nian, and said in annoyance, "I didn't see you and got a little anxious... Don't cry."

Xu Nian didn't have to do anything, just squatting there, he had already won.

He was even more surprised than Los. When did he cry? He was clearly blinded by the wind and snow, but the matter was over, and Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he suddenly realized that Los was actually more annoyed by the sight of other snow leopards crying.

Xu Nian was silent for a moment and sighed to himself, I really can't tell.
