Chapter 14
Wen Xin subconsciously helped the boy wipe away his tears, but the more he wiped away, the more tears came, falling in strings on the palms and backs of his hands, boiling and hot.
During this process, the boy remained expressionless, with only his red eyes and falling tears silently telling of his breakdown.
Later, he cried so hard that he turned his head away, his shoulders shaking constantly, and he still bit his lower lip tightly, refusing to utter a sob.
Wen Xin did not persuade him any more. He patted his thin back with his palm a few times and said, "Your clothes are dirty and need to be changed and washed. Can you wear mine for the time being?"
"But...oooo..." The canary opened its mouth and cried.
He swallowed it back quickly and held down his heaving chest.
But after several attempts, she couldn't hold it back any longer. She gave up and let herself sob: "Okay, thank you, thank you."
Wen Xin didn't say anything, patted his shoulder, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
When he arrived at the hall, he discovered that not only the one inside was crying, but the little fox outside was also crying non-stop, simply because it was scared by the green ball.
The green group said in a sinister tone: "What's going on? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll eat you."
The little fox shivered and curled up into a ball: "We just want to come to No. 1 to escape the pursuit of the base. We really don't want to do anything bad. No. 7, please believe us QAQ."
The green group impatiently tapped the sofa with its tail: "Who asked you this? I was asking what you just did to humans?"
The young man's voice came from behind: "I didn't realize before that our Ah Lu is so enthusiastic. She is so cute."
The green ball's ears twitched, and when it heard the keyword, the tip of its tail couldn't help but curl up.
Wen Xin laughed.
He touched Lu Tuan's head, softened his tone, and said seriously: "No, I said the wrong thing. Our Ah Lu has always been very good, obedient, cute and not picky about food. He is the little cat I trust the most in the whole family."
Although the green group didn't know why Wen Xin suddenly praised it, it was still very happy to hear the praise and raised its neck with a proud look on its face.
Wen Xin praised it for several sentences and then got straight to the point.
"…So the guests may not be able to adapt to the new environment. I would like to ask you to take care of them, okay, dear A-Lu?"
Wen Xin kissed Green Ball's little head again, making it dizzy and as if it had no idea where the world was.
"Meow--"
It's all fine, just a small problem, leave it to me, don't worry——
After giving the instructions, Wen Xin went to the bedroom, found a set of clean old clothes, and then went to the bathroom.
The green ball shook his head and laughed for a while, then his gloomy face returned to its original state and he looked at the little fox.
Wen Xin suddenly did such a trick, and the little fox was stunned when he heard it.
Before the scaled tree viper could breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the green ball agree to what the human said, its expression changed again, as if it wanted to continue eating the fox.
The little fox curled up again like flying, his voice trembling: "Didn't you promise to take good care of us?"
The scale viper is daring, but it is not so stupid that it knows nothing.
The young man's intention to help them resolve the conflict was so obvious that even though it didn't understand the meaning just now, it has now reacted.
It hummed and hawed, indicating that it was not being tricked: "You are still alive and well now, isn't this taking care of me? Tell me now, don't try to change the subject."
Looking at the aggressive look of No.7, is he still alive? The little fox burst into tears.
Who knew that Wen Xin would leave and come back like a prophet?
"A-Lu."
He looked at the ferocious green group and said softly, "...You have already promised me, so you will not bully the two guests, right?"
The green group's mouth twitched and he refused to answer.
Wen Xin immediately became disappointed: "Alu?"
Green Ball could tolerate anything except his sad face. He paced back and forth on the sofa in a tangled manner and finally meowed very loudly.
"Meow!"
Okay, I promise you!
Wen Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, A-Lu."
This time he really went to the bathroom.
The little fox who stayed where he was felt the pressure dissipate and knew that he was safe now.
It looked at the young man's back as he left, then glanced cautiously at the green ball beside it.
Green Group didn't want to break his agreement with Wen Xin, so he had to give up the idea of torturing the little fox. He picked it up by the tail and threw it into the pile of pillows, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Back in the bathroom, Wen Xin taught the boy how to use the water heater, adjusted the water temperature, and placed the clean clothes on the rack: "When you're done, I want to talk to you."
Canary tightened her grip on her collar and said calmly, "Yes, sir."
This bath was particularly long.
Canary didn't come out, so Wen Xin was washing vegetables in the kitchen. Lu Tuan was lying on the table next to him, staring at his bony fingers.
From the time the young man turned on and off the water to the time he broke off the leaves to soak them and then went to get something from the refrigerator, Green Group's eyes never wandered away, following his movements back and forth as if he was looking at something interesting and never tired of it.
The black one was sleeping on the cabinet, and the green one was huddled next to Wen Xin. After being ignored for a long time, the little fox finally had the courage to stick his head out from the pile of pillows.
It stepped carefully on the floor and slid towards the bathroom where the canary was. It glanced at the kitchen inadvertently and paused.
The young man noticed the green group's surveillance and was looking at it with lowered eyelashes.
Seeing how focused it was without blinking, Wen Xin felt soft in her heart. She cut a piece of the blanched meat, let it cool down, and then put it into Green Ball's mouth.
The green ball swallowed it happily and opened his mouth to ask for another piece. The young man smiled and agreed, his eyes and eyebrows were gentle, like a fairy in a painting.
Until now, the little fox is still very confused.
It couldn't understand why No. 1 and No. 7 were so close to humans and pretended to be weak cats.
For mutants, being strong and tall is the key to survival, so that they can intimidate those with bad intentions. The little fox even felt sad for a time because he didn't look fierce enough.
But at this moment, the man and the cat get along very harmoniously.
They were so harmonious that it seemed as if no one needed to threaten anyone, be jealous of anyone, or please anyone, and they could continue to live in peace.
The little fox squatted there in a daze until Wen Xin came out and found it.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Wen Xin picked it up.
The little fox's body is very soft, and its fur is shiny and smooth, like it is holding a pool of warm water.
He had gotten used to petting cats these days, so he just pinched the little fox's chin a few times.
The little fox was stunned for the first two times, but couldn't help whimpering after the next few times. Its black eyes were moistened with mist, and it met the warm and gentle gaze.
In an instant, its ignorant and confused mind seemed to become a little clearer.
Humans...turns out they do more than just cause pain.
Wen Xin looked at the time. It had been almost an hour since Canary went into the bathroom, but she hadn't come out yet.
He probably knew why the boy was stalling for time, so he didn't rush to heat up the pot. Instead, he went to the bathroom and knocked on the door: "Are you done with the shower? I want to come in and get something."
There was a sound from the bathroom, as if a basin had been dropped, followed by a rustling sound that was tried to be covered up.
After a long while, the boy's calm voice came: "I'm done."
The door opened and the boy, who had just finished taking a shower, was already dressed.
Wen Xin's clothes were a little too big for him and were baggy. He had to hold up the sleeves on both sides to prevent them from sliding down.
Wen Xin helped him fold up his sleeves and said casually, "You still need to buy two pieces that fit you."
The boy was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party must be speaking casually. He has no relatives or friends, so why would humans buy clothes for him?
Moreover, his current situation was like being pushed onto the guillotine. Could he still expect that what lay on top would not be a bloody scalpel, but a rich and delicious meal?
With trepidation in their hearts, Canary and the little fox were brought into the guest room by Wen Xin.
Green Tuan followed behind, feeling a little jealous of Wen Xin caressing the little fox. Knowing that Black Tuan was not asleep, he slapped the cabinet with his tail and said, "Humans want to keep them both here, and you can tolerate that?"
The black mass lifted its eyelids and stared at it silently.
There was a hint of silence in his eyes, as if saying: If I can't bear it, why do you think you can stay here?
The green group coughed twice: "I am different, I am so obedient, people praise me!"
In the end, it even believed it, and proudly wagged its tail, as if it were the most handsome and reliable kid in the family.
The corner of the black ball's mouth twitched.
This is why it can tolerate the scale viper. I always feel that comparing with others will lower my IQ.
Finally, the black group looked towards the bedroom.
Wen Xin brought back other mutants, and it was impossible to say that it had no taste at all.
Tyrannosaurus is by no means a good person. Both its possessiveness and violent nature are deeply engraved in its genes.
It is holding back now because the canary is harmless, the fox cub is useful, and there is another more important reason.
——Xiao Hei, do you know that when a person lives in a big house, he will be afraid to go home.
The young man's words seemed to linger in his ears. Hei Tuan said in a deep voice: "Wen Xin likes excitement."
"You can come, and so can they. If Wen Xin takes a fancy to other mutants and brings them back, I won't stop him."
The green group was dumbfounded.
Wow, you’re so generous.
Did it hear wrongly? Is this still the number one it knows?
Is this really not some mutant pretending to be number one? ?
Then, it saw the black ball narrow his eyes, his eyes were as deep as the sea: "But, no one can disturb his happiness, and no one can overstep their authority and do something that should not be done."
"You can't, they can't, no matter who you are, you have to follow the rules here, otherwise..."
The black group didn't say the rest of the words, but the bloody smell in his words lingered, making the green group shudder.
.
After entering the guest room, Wen Xin closed the door.
The reason why we changed the location instead of having the conversation in the lobby was because the boy was very scared.
Even though the other party tried hard to appear calm and composed, and his cold face was very convincing, his unconsciously clenched fists still exposed his fear.
Wen Xin: "I just need to ask a few questions, don't be nervous."
The canary held the little fox in her arms, and felt that the shovel hanging above her head was finally going to fall. She said in despair, "You ask."
"First question, will you do anything bad to Xiao Hei and A Lu?"
“…”
Deathly silence.
The canary and the little fox raised their eyes at the same time and looked at Wen Xin in disbelief.
Although Wen Xin closed the door, the soundproofing effect was almost useless for the mutants, and the two guys could still hear their conversation.
The green ball chuckled and laughed at the black ball: "What the hell, can the two of them bite off half of your scales together?"
It's like asking whether ants can hurt lions. It's full of humor and absurdity.
As if he knew what Canary and the others were thinking, Wen Xin shook his head and said, "I'm not joking. I'm serious."
"Xiao Hei and A Lu are different to me. I care about them and cherish them. If anyone tries to harm them, even if it's just an idea, I won't agree."
"Everything else doesn't matter, but this is the most important thing to me. I hope you can answer truthfully."
Outside, the somewhat puzzled black group paused for a moment, and his expression softened.
The green group was stiff for a long time, and then hummed awkwardly: "Foolish human, worrying about nothing..."
What's even stupider is that they just buy into this.
