Fear
It was not until the start of school that Wei Shao ended his continuous stay-at-home life, and the time he spent with Song Tao suddenly increased.
Song Tao hadn't seriously hung out with him for several weeks, and always felt that something was wrong with him.
But I can’t tell what’s wrong.
It didn't seem like that to say that Wei Shao was devastated or upset because of the matter of his illegitimate child. He looked like Wei Shao was quite cheerful.
This suspicion reached its peak when he offered Wei Shao a cigarette, but was decisively rejected.
Wei Shao explained: "I don't smoke much now."
To say he doesn't smoke much is a bit conservative; he has actually already quit.
The reason was simple. Ever since he shot himself in the foot last time and said those words, every time he went over, Philo would search his pockets carefully and even get close to him to sniff if there was any smell of cigarettes before he would stop.
Although this kid has a nose sharper than a cat's, he doesn't go there every day, so it's not impossible to smoke without telling him.
But Wei Shao was a bit stubborn. When he did these things, he didn't even bother to avoid Wei Chengshan and his former teachers. Naturally, he didn't think it was necessary to hide now. He even deliberately smoked a whole box of cigarettes that night to spice himself up.
He did it on purpose. Philo was an overly well-behaved kid, rarely even angry, so it was really fun to tease him.
But he didn't expect that Philo would be so angry that he cried...
This kid didn't cry even when he was surrounded and beaten by several older kids, but he shed tears because he reeked of cigarettes and said in a nonchalant manner, "So what if I smoked?" and then ignored him for the whole day.
Thinking of Fei Luo's expression at that time, Wei Shao touched his nose and pushed Song Tao's hand away: "I really don't want to smoke anymore."
Song Tao no longer cared about the matter of smoking or not. He thought of Wei Shao, who had been missing for some time, and associated it with Wei Shao's various strange behaviors. Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
He exclaimed, “You are definitely in love!”
Wei Shao was puzzled: "Ah?"
Song Tao has already sorted out the logical chain in his mind.
"I haven't seen you for a long time during the winter vacation. Are you dating your girlfriend?"
"Those food and toys you keep in your pocket all day are for her, right?"
"And those clothes that children wear... She has a younger brother! Right?! Damn it, if I hadn't guessed it and you wanted to hide it from me, you would be so mean!"
Song Tao spoke a long string of words like a string of cannonballs, and Wei Shao couldn't even get a word in, so he could only interrupt him: "Stop, stop, stop! What nonsense is this?"
Song Tao put his hands on his hips and said, "Then tell me, what are the reasons for all those things?"
Wei Shao couldn't say it.
He couldn't tell Song Tao that he had obtained a strange book and was forced to enter the book, right?
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Song Tao was more certain that he had guessed it right: "Why are you still hiding it? When was there any time when I didn't tell you first when I was in love?"
Wei Shao held his forehead with his hand: "...I don't want to know."
Song Tao: "Don't change the subject. Who is it?"
Wei Shao: “No.”
Song Tao didn't believe it at all: "Who?"
Wei Shao raised his voice: "No, talk!"
Song Tao insisted: "Who?"
Wei Shao simply shut up and ignored him.
However, Song Tao was almost dying of curiosity. He couldn't understand how Wei Shao, who never said a word to girls, could have a relationship without telling anyone.
So no matter what Wei Shao said to him afterwards, he insisted on only replying with one sentence: "Who is your girlfriend?"
After being harassed like this for a whole day, Wei Shao would subconsciously tense up whenever he heard the word "you". In a trance, he even thought that he really had a "girlfriend".
He finally couldn't stand it anymore, and when Song Tao asked for the nth time, he said angrily: "You don't know him, don't fucking ask."
Song Tao had an expression of "as expected" and said proudly: "I knew it! Where is my sister-in-law?"
Wei Shao sneered: "Why, you want to see your sister-in-law so much, aren't you afraid that I will dig your eyes out?"
Song Tao gave a thumbs up exaggeratedly: "Great, great, it's really great to be in a relationship."
Seeing that Wei Shaozhen had no intention of introducing him to her, Song Tao was puzzled again: "No, is she really so precious that you don't even plan to let your brothers get to know her?"
Wei Shao thought to himself, "How the hell can I conjure up a sister-in-law for you?" But he started to make up a story: "I'm young now and my relationship is not stable. Let's talk about it in two years."
Song Tao opened his mouth into an O shape: "Are you serious? It's still two years, and this is such a pure love?"
If there is one, there will be another. Wei Shao's "creating a sister-in-law out of nothing" became more and more skillful: "Real, truer than real gold."
Wei Shao originally said this to deal with Song Tao, but later he found that this was actually a universal excuse.
No matter how strange the things in his pocket are, he can explain it by saying "I brought them to your sister-in-law". If he can't go out on weekends, he can use "I have to accompany your sister-in-law" as an excuse.
Perfectly concealing some of his unreasonable preparations before the time travel.
-
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed for Wei Shao. After conscious practice and study, he could now communicate with Philo using long sentences.
It was visibly that Philo was becoming more and more dependent on Wei Shao.
When he was dealing with Wei Shao, his temper became better and better, and he would even call Wei Shao "brother" in a soft insect language.
Wei Shao felt that he was taking advantage of time.
Only a few months had passed for him, but in Philo's eyes, it had occupied nearly three years.
Philo was ten years old.
Every time Wei Shao saw him, he was obviously taller than him, like a young poplar, fresh and well-proportioned.
Wei Shao leaned against Fei Luo's head and drew a line on the wall outside the bridge hole, then pulled out the measuring tape and measured: "1.56 meters tall, growing so fast."
Philo looked at the scratches on the wall and smiled with a little happiness.
He pressed Wei Shao against the wall and stood on tiptoe to leave a mark on Wei Shao as well.
Wei Shao smiled and let him make trouble, and said while laughing: "Why, do you want to be taller than me?"
Philo looked up at him, his eyes wide open: "Is it not possible?"
"Of course," Wei Shao looked at him with a smile, "but it's a little difficult. I'm already 1.83 meters tall. If I grow up another two years, I might be 1.9 meters tall. Can you do it?"
Fei Luo was stunned, then he frowned slowly and called him, "Brother."
Wei Shao: “Hmm?”
Philo looked at him seriously for a long while, then asked in confusion: "Why haven't you changed in these years?"
Wei Shao: “…”
system:【……】
System: [Wei Shao! Could you please not tell him your actual information? ! 】
Wei Shao felt that this really wasn't his fault.
He is less than seventeen years old now, which is the teenage stage between youth and maturity. The next two years will be the period when his skeleton changes most obviously.
But in Philo's eyes, he hasn't changed much in the past three years. Anyone with normal eyes and brain would think that something is wrong, right?
The system urged: [Hurry up and find a way to fool this person. 】
Wei Shao had no choice but to say to Fei Luo: "Well... I take better care of myself."
Philo: “…”
He didn't say anything, and after a long while he said "Oh" softly, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.
Wei Shao quickly changed the subject.
Before the end of this time travel, Wei Shao received a task from the system.
The system told him that the next time he traveled through time, there would be a relatively important plot point, which was related to Philo's career path, so he should pay a little attention to it.
In fact, the system meant for him to not do anything weird and ruin the plot, but Wei Shao was very responsible and resolutely took the system's words as an order.
He immediately said: [Don't worry, I will definitely get it done - what node is it? 】
system:【……】
I am even more worried. Thank you.
In order to ensure the purity of Wei Shao's motives when carrying out the mission, it has not allowed Wei Shao to watch the subsequent plot, and he can only relay it verbally at this time: [Next month, a female soldier named Otto will be exiled to an abandoned planet. He has serious war injuries, but he was framed and will be reinstated soon. 】
Wei Shao understood: [Philo saved him, and then he promoted Philo? 】
System: [Yes. 】
Wei Shao cautiously confirmed: [He is a good bug, right? 】
The system said indifferently: [He is the foster father of Philo, who has given him a chance to show his talent and help him grow up. 】
Wei Shao was a little unhappy: [But I was here first...]
He is the great foster father.
"Brother." Philo, lying on the bed, suddenly called him.
Wei Shao instantly put the system behind his mind, and immediately turned over and looked at Fei Luo: "What's wrong, can't sleep?"
Philo sat up and shook his head.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Wei Shao: "I have something to tell you."
Wei Shao also sat up and rubbed his furry head with a smile: "Why are you still keeping us in suspense? Tell me."
Philo lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to go to school anymore."
"Why? Didn't we agree on this?" Wei Shao was stunned. Thinking that he was worried about not having enough money, he frowned and emphasized, "We have enough money."
Ever since he learned that watches were valuable, he used all his pocket money to order watches, and even stole a few from Song Tao. He brought dozens of watches in total, and even disguised himself as a gangster to trade with dealers. The money he made was not particularly much, but it was more than enough to support Philo's education in a public school.
"It's not about money..." Philo could see that he was a little angry, and lowered his voice, "I'm sorry."
"Lolo, look up," Wei Shao held his shoulders and looked at him, "Don't apologize yet, tell me what you think."
Philo looked at him and analyzed seriously: "Residents of abandoned planets are not allowed to take the entrance exam to the alien university. It's useless for me to study. I want to work at Noah Base."
Although the public institutions on the abandoned planet are dilapidated, there are bases of various sizes on the planet. The Noah Base is the largest base system in the north, which absorbs female insects that meet the grade standards from the entire planet every year.
He looked around the cramped cave and the beautiful furniture that didn't fit in with the cave: "If I can get into the base, there will be a bigger and more comfortable place to live. In that case..."
Fei Luo looked at Wei Shao and thought: In that case, next time you come over you won't have to squeeze into this small bed where you can't even stretch your legs.
His brother can lie on the soft big bed and sleep till dawn. When he is hungry, he doesn’t have to eat dry bread anymore. He can cook hot and clean meals for him at any time.
By that time, Wei Shao might come more often... The more Fei Luo thought about it, the better it seemed, and a smile crept up his brows.
Wei Shao realized that he had neglected too much of Philo's growth and was completely unaware of these thoughts. He tried to think from Philo's perspective: "But how can you guarantee that you can enter the base? And..."
Moreover, he had heard that the top leaders of that base were all desperate criminals and their methods were extremely cruel.
Philo interrupted him happily: "Of course you can, brother, look--"
As he spoke, veins gradually appeared on the back of his slender, beautiful hands, and his soft skin became invulnerable. His round, beautiful nails also extended and became hard, sharp, and the blue-black claws had a cold glow.
Wei Shao felt numb from the top of his head to the soles of his feet in an instant. He raised his eyes slowly and saw strange and weird dark lines emerging on Filo's fair neck and cheeks, which were even floating faintly, like monsters with vitality.
Philo was still looking down at his insect claw intently, trying to make it sharper and more beautiful.
When he was finally satisfied and wanted to call Wei Shao to see it with a smile on his face, he saw Wei Shao looking at him with a pale face, and for the first time, the smile on his lips was completely gone.
Wei Shao's gaze looked very unfamiliar to him.
It was so strange that it was not until a long time later that Philo finally understood that it was fear and rejection.
