Chapter 45 Why! Confession
Sedwick brought Mingnuo back to the dormitory. He quickly opened the closet to find clothes for him, then stuffed them into his arms and pushed him into the bathroom. Before closing the door, he said, "Call me when you're done changing."
Ming Nuo stood in the bathroom in a daze, looking down at the clothes in his arms. Sedwick had picked out a warm yellow short-sleeved shirt for him, paired with loose shorts.
While changing clothes, Mingnuo's mind was in a mess. Why was Sedvik suddenly angry? He had clearly asked for his opinion before rescuing Saroyan, and he had agreed.
The breaking point seemed to be when Saroyan hugged his calf?
So why is Sedwick angry about this?
Mingnuo continued to think divergently. Field would not get angry just because someone hugged Lin Yu's legs. Various clues pointed to one reason - Sedwick liked him.
No way...
Mingnuo's expression was blank as he glanced at the closed bathroom door. He knew Sedwick was standing behind it. If he pushed the door open, he would definitely bump into him. What then? Would he confess his feelings directly?
Should he agree to it? Would it hurt Sedwick's feelings if he didn't agree? What if he got angry and ignored him?
In just a few seconds, Mingnuo seriously and carefully thought about countless important issues, but he still couldn't figure out how to deal with Sedwick's confession.
Through the door, Sedwick's voice rang out: "You haven't changed yet?"
Ming Nuo almost blurted out "I promise you," but quickly closed his mouth and swallowed the words, whispering, "...It's almost there, don't rush me."
What should I do?
Ming Nuo was extremely anxious, and at this moment he heard Field's loud voice. Lin Yu must have returned to the dormitory!
Ming Nuo was like a savior, and immediately sent a message to Lin Yu, "Help me! Sedwick might confess his love to me, what should I do?!"
Lin Yucai saw Mingnuo's message as soon as he sat down. He looked at Sedwick standing in front of the bathroom door in surprise. This man has been dormant for many years and is finally going to make it clear?
It's not easy.
Lin Yu comforted Ming Nuo and asked him: "Do you like him? If you like him, it would be fine if you agree to it."
Ming Nuo hesitated and told Lin Yu: "The main reason is that I'm not sure whether I like Sedwick or not. What if I only have a friendship with him?"
After sending the message, Mingnuo asked himself, does he really like Sedwick?
Just imagine, if he agreed and was with Sedwick, they would become a couple, sticking together every day, eating, attending classes, playing games... and so on, which would be no different from their current life.
Mingnuo's headache became more and more serious.
Luckily, Lin Yu was very reliable. "It's okay. Think about it for a few more days. If Sedwick really confesses his feelings to you today, don't say anything. I'll help you reject him."
The heavy burden on Mingnuo's heart finally fell. He thanked Lin Yu repeatedly and finally dared to open the bathroom door and walked out.
Sedwick had been waiting for him at the door. Under his penetrating gaze, Mingnuo felt extremely nervous for no reason and looked at Lin Yu anxiously. Lin Yu accepted his call for help and walked to his side.
The three of them remained in a bewildered stalemate for a while before Sedwick spoke slowly, his tone unusually calm, "I'm going to take Cotton out later. Do you need me to accompany you?"
The moment he spoke, Ming Nuo's heart subconsciously tightened, but when he heard his ordinary words, he was obviously stunned, "Huh?"
Sedwick thought he had forgotten about it and reminded him, "Professor Elena asked you to bring the cotton to her again today."
"...I haven't forgotten." Ming Nuo suddenly felt a surge of anger, his face instantly falling. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
Sedwick nodded: "Yeah."
"Well, you head!" Ming Nuo cursed the other person in his heart in annoyance. He felt frustrated and looked at Sedwick's calm face. He felt that he was the clown.
Ming Nuo turned his head and rejected him bluntly, "You don't need to accompany me, I can bring the cotton myself."
Cotton kept circling around Mingnuo's feet. It noticed that Mingnuo was very unhappy, and when Mingnuo put the leash on it, it behaved very well and did not resist at all.
Mingnuo left with Mianhua. Lin Yu looked at the dormitory door that slammed shut, and silently turned his head to look at Sedwick who was staring at the door in a daze. It seemed that he had overestimated him.
In the neat and bright office, Professor Elena was wearing gloves and gently touching the place where the cotton wool fell off. A layer of hard, scaly stratum corneum had grown on her tender pink skin.
The cub of the Tassan beast?
Professor Elena couldn't hide her excitement. She turned around and told Mingnuo her guess, "...If it really is a cub of the Tasang beast, it means that Tasang beasts are not mindless and savage creatures. They also have their own emotions and can get along with humans in a friendly manner."
Ming Nuo was distracted, his mind completely troubled by the big question of "Why didn't Sedwick confess to him?". He was stunned to come back to his senses after hearing Professor Elena's words, "You mean... Cotton is very likely the cub of the Tasan beast?!"
"Based on the current situation, it's very likely that when it grows a little bigger, its fur will be replaced by scales, and the characteristics of the Tasang beast will become more obvious, and it will be more obvious at that time."
The next second, Professor Elena asked excitedly, "Your Highness, can you tell me where you got this cub?"
Before this, she had never had the opportunity to see a cub of the Tasang beast. Even many scholars imagined that the appearance of the cub was a smaller version of the adult Tasang beast.
After all, who could have imagined that the ferocious Tassan beast's cub was actually a cute little creature with fluffy snow-white fur.
Professor Elena looked at Mingnuo hesitantly, and couldn't wait to raise a cub and write an observation log of the Tasang giant cub.
Ming Nuo said embarrassedly: "Cotton got into my suitcase by itself, I didn't know..."
Suddenly, he paused. The cub of the Tasang beast, the egg in the garden! Mingnuo instantly understood the whole story.
So the day before he went to school, Bai Mian insisted on taking him to the garden to see the white eggs because the eggs were about to hatch. Then Bai Mian took Mian Cotton to his room. Mian Cotton took the opportunity to get into his suitcase and followed him to school.
Ming Nuo told Professor Elena all of this and apologized, "I only have this one egg at home, so I don't have any extra cubs."
Professor Elena couldn't hide her disappointment. "Okay, then could you bring me some more cotton?"
This matter was very simple, and Mingnuo agreed immediately.
Because Mingnuo was with him all the time, Cotton behaved very docilely this time and the inspection was completed quickly.
Ming Nuo was about to leave with Mianhua on the leash when Teacher Elena stopped him and reminded him, "My dear, although pets are not prohibited in school, yours...is clearly not a pet. It's already classified as a wild animal."
"Besides, it will grow bigger and bigger. The dormitory will definitely not accommodate it. You'd better find a place to stay for it as soon as possible."
Ming Nuo also thought of this and nodded, "I will, thank you, Professor."
On the way back to the dormitory, Mingnuo was thinking about whether to send Cotton back, but he quickly rejected the idea. Although the palace garden was very large, most of the animals in it were docile and harmless ornamental animals like the white cotton.
Cotton's temper is getting worse and worse. If it goes, it will definitely bully those poor little things.
Ming Nuo had not made a decision until he stood in front of the dormitory door, so he thought about discussing it with his brother in the evening. If there was no vacant place here, he would ask his uncle.
"Um, Lorian." Oliver came out of the next dormitory. He looked uneasy and said humbly, "I'm very sorry about what happened today. I apologize to you. It was my fault that I didn't stop Saroyan."
Mingnuo's anger had mostly subsided, knowing that Oliver had no say in front of Saroyan. "It's okay, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. It was too impulsive of me to delete you as a friend. I've added you back."
Oliver opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You really don't blame me?"
Ming Nuo looked at his black eye sockets and the bruises on the corners of his lips and shook his head.
Oliver was overjoyed and almost cried with gratitude, "Thank you... Thank you for believing in me."
That's because when the two of them were fighting, Mingnuo happened to see it from the surveillance camera. Oliver had been beaten so badly by Saroyan that he didn't want to hit him again.
Ming Nuo pulled the leash: "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to the dormitory first?"
"I, I have one more thing." Oliver looked at him shyly, "You're really good at mecha operation. Can you teach me? My mecha performance has always been very poor..."
Ming Nuo: "You misunderstood. It's Sedwick who is really good. I didn't touch the mecha the whole time. Do you need me to ask him to teach you?"
"Need not!"
Oliver refused immediately, but then realized his refusal was very blunt. Fearing he might offend Ming Nuo, he frantically made an excuse, "I, I suddenly remembered that my parents are both non-initiated, and these few days happen to be non-mechanical days. I can't ride a mecha, so let's just forget about it."
Wuqi Sect? Mingnuo had heard of this name before. It was said to be quite popular in Saichuan. He had no religious beliefs, but he still respected other people's beliefs.
Ming Nuo: "Okay then, tell me if you need anything."
Oliver's cheeks flushed again, "Well, thank you."
After returning to the dormitory, Mingnuo told everyone that there was a high probability that Cotton was his Tasang monster cub. While speaking, he deliberately avoided looking at Sedwick.
Field looked at the two of them strangely. Are they having a quarrel?
After hearing Mingnuo's words, the doubt in his heart turned into complete shock. Field pointed at Cotton and said, "This thing...Tasang monster?!"
He was so shocked that he stood up and looked at the hornless lamb, which was in the awkward shedding phase no matter how he looked at it. "That's impossible. It's furry and I'm a giant steel beast. How are they the same?"
Lin Yu touched Cotton, who obediently tilted his head back and whimpered twice, letting him touch his broad chest.
"It's not quite the same as the Tasang beast we learned about." Lin Yu also looked puzzled. "Aren't they said to be cold-blooded and brutal and impossible to tame?"
When they were in class, the teacher showed them a holographic projection of the Tassan monster.
Sedwick opened his mouth slowly: "It..."
Before he could utter a word, Ming Nuo interrupted him, squatted down and held Mianhua in his arms, "Mianhua was raised by us since he was a child. Naturally, he is different from other Tasan beasts. He is a good baby."
Cotton whimpered twice and rubbed Mingnuo's chin happily.
Sedwick, who clearly didn't say anything, said: "...Okay."
Mingnuo was sulking, which anyone could see. Sedwick reflected on his actions and asked Mingnuo, "Are you angry because of me?"
Ming Nuo turned his head: "Huh."
Well, the answer is obvious.
Sedwick continued to speculate: "When I pulled you back this morning, did my hand hurt?"
Ming Nuo was immediately furious, and his beautiful blue eyes widened even more, "No!"
Sedwick was puzzled, "Why is that?"
Ming Nuo was so angry. Did he have to take the initiative to ask, "Are you going to confess to me? You like me, right? Then confess to me quickly. I'm waiting."
But he really couldn't say it.
This tense atmosphere continued until the evening. Mingnuo took a shower early, put on loose pajamas, took the cotton to the balcony, then climbed onto the bed without looking around and pulled the curtains.
It's obvious that he's deliberately ignoring someone.
Sedwick sat silently at the table, his gray eyes lowered to hide the expression in them, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Field was really curious about what had happened between the two of them. They had never had any conflicts in all the years they had known each other, so he moved closer to Lin Yu and winked at him.
Lin Yu glanced at him and remained indifferent.
Judging from his reaction, he must know the inside story. Excitement appeared in Field's eyes. He clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Yu, asking him to share the gossip quickly.
But Lin Yu just shook his head and refused to reveal any information.
Behind the drawn bed curtains, Mingnuo was chatting with his brother, but half of his attention was thinking about his relationship with Sedwick. For the entire afternoon, this guy had no intention of confessing!
Ming Nuo even suspected that he didn't like her at all and that all this was just his illusion.
When Zelphis learned that the eggs of the Tasan beast in the garden had hatched and a cub had emerged, he was slightly surprised for a moment, but the next second he came up with a solution.
"...You can just send the cotton back. If you want it to stay with you, we have a single-family villa on campus where you can keep it in the garden."
Mingnuo was reluctant to send Mianhua away, so he decided to wait until it grew a little bigger before sending it to the villa.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Zelphis suddenly asked him.
Ming Nuo hummed softly and asked him softly, "Brother, do you think I'm a likable person?"
"certainly."
“There will still be people who don’t like me, right?”
"That possibility isn't ruled out." Zelphis stated as objectively as possible, but added his subjective assessment. "Of course, you don't need to pay any more attention to someone with such poor taste."
Ming Nuo's brother's defense brought a smile to his face, and he regained his confidence, "Yeah! Anyone who doesn't like me has no taste!"
Hearing Mingnuo's voice regain its vitality, Zelphis laughed and asked, "Are you going home this week?"
Ming Nuo counted the days: "I have to participate in a joint confrontation exercise next month and train this week."
Zelphis: "Well, I'll come watch you play then."
Ming Nuo said yes, but in fact the pressure was doubled. His brother was coming to watch him compete, so he definitely couldn't perform too poorly. It seemed like he had to train hard during this period.
Lin Yu seemed to be exercising every morning. Ming Nuo thought about it and sent him a message, "Can you take me with you to training tomorrow morning?"
Lin Yu: [Five o'clock, are you sure you can get up?]
Ming Nuo, who usually stayed in bed even when he had to get up at 8 o'clock, looked at the dreaded 5 o'clock and hesitated for a while before finally sending a message, "I'm sure."
So the two of them agreed to get up early and go to training together tomorrow.
In order to get up early, Mingnuo went to bed early.
But until three o'clock in the morning, Sedwick was still wide awake, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, with Mingnuo's angry face in his mind.
Why is Mingnuo angry?
Could it be that she saw that he liked him and wanted to make a clear distinction between them? But he kicked him out without even confessing his feelings? Sedwick felt that this was unfair to him.
Even if you refuse, wait for him to confess first.
No, he had to confess, Sedwick thought calmly. He would tell Mingnuo clearly tomorrow morning, even if he was rejected as expected.
The sky outside the window gradually brightened. Sedwick had just fallen asleep, while Mingnuo and Lin Yu got out of bed quietly and left the dormitory together.
