Chapter 47 The Lonely Old Man Faints
Mingnuo and Sedwick, this treasure couple, are Dillon's favorites. He dreams day and night that these two people can be together naturally and smoothly, and then kiss and hug each other in front of him every day.
This was a hundred times more exciting than watching a fake couple acting out through a screen. Ti Lung's eyes were filled with impatience as he urged them, "Hurry up and kiss!"
Mingnuo and Sedwick just stared at him quietly, and Dillon saw a hint of speechlessness in their eyes.
What does this mean? Ti Lung was puzzled. Shouldn't they be grateful to him as their love bodyguard? What was that expression?
Ming Nuo sighed, opened his smart brain, manually deleted all the information about his relationship with Sedwick from Dillon's database, and refreshed Dillon again.
Dillon's expression was blank for two seconds, and then he recovered from his frenzied state. Taking advantage of these few seconds, Mingnuo distanced himself from Sedwick.
"You deleted my data?" Dillon looked around blankly. "How did I get out?"
Ming Nuo remained calm and said, "Well, you were arguing with me just now, and I was very angry."
Delete his data because you're angry? Dillon felt that Mingnuo was bullying the AI more and more. He said sorry casually, glanced at Mingnuo and Sedwick before returning to the AI, and narrowed his eyes.
The distance between these two people...isn't it too close?
Mingnuo noticed his gaze and quickly distanced himself from Sedwick, fearing that Dillon would notice something was wrong.
Alas... Ti Lung's eyes were filled with disappointment. When would these two finally be together? He had been waiting for so many years, would he ever get the chance to see them kiss?
Ti Lung was so worried that he returned to his brain with a heavy heart.
Ming Nuo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, which he had suppressed tightly. Then he turned on the privacy mode of the smart brain. As long as there was no close contact, Dillon would not be able to find out.
"Can we hold hands?" Sedwick slowly reached out and held Mingnuo's hand, squeezing his slender fingers into his fingers and interlocking theirs.
The body temperature of another person came from the tightly clasped hands, and Mingnuo's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
He had held hands with Sedwick many times before, but after they became a couple, the feeling he had this time was different from any other time before.
"It should be... okay." Ming Nuo glanced at the unresponsive intelligent computer and said haltingly, "This is just normal physical contact. It won't cause any alarm."
Sedwick hummed softly, then pressed the issue further, "Can I hug you, please?"
Ming Nuo met his smiling eyes, pursed her lips, took a step forward and hugged his waist, pinching the flesh on his waist unhappily, "See, it's okay to hug."
The two fooled around for a while, exploring what kind of physical contact would not cause alarm, and finally came up with a table: hugs no longer than three minutes, cheek contact no longer than five seconds, sitting on the lap no longer than one minute...
"What a hassle." Ming Nuo leaned against Sedwick to sort out the forms and sighed, "I still have to find a chance to tell my brother. I have to use a step-by-step approach..."
Sedwick said in one breath: "Why not just bring it out directly?"
"Are you crazy?!" Ming Nuo looked at him in shock and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, you'll be beaten to death. Let me think about what to do. How about telling my aunt or Sister Finelt first? Oh, I'll go ask my sister."
Finelt is definitely more rational than her brother and will not rush over to kill Sedwick.
Ming Nuo immediately sent a message to her sister, "Sister, if I fall in love, will you be angry?"
Finelt: [Why are you angry?]
Ming Nuo's eyes lit up, and he saw a glimmer of hope. He continued, "Sister, I'm in love with Sedwick, but my brothers don't support it, and I don't dare to tell them. Can you help me?"
Finelt: [Congratulations, but are you going to treat Sedwick as your boyfriend now?]
Ming Nuo was stunned for a moment, [He is my boyfriend now. ]
Finelt: [What I mean is, are you sure you don't want to date a few more? Maybe you can find someone more obedient and sensible. Don't you think it's boring to decide so quickly?]
Ming Nuo: “…”
Sedwick, who saw this, said: "..."
Mingnuo was in a complicated mood. Sister Finelt seemed to be on the extreme opposite side of her brother. "Thank you, sister, but I should only talk about him now."
Finelt said regretfully: [Okay, I'll go give your brother a hint.]
Now that he and Sedwick were no longer alone, Mingnuo breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Sedwick told his brother the news that he and Mingnuo were together.
Garland was so frightened that he used a holographic projection to scold him. He couldn't see Mingnuo, so he yelled at Sedwick, "I knew you had ulterior motives towards Lorian! How can you be so bold? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will chop you off?!"
"Let's talk, let's talk. Who can beat you in a conversation? From now on, Your Majesty won't need a reason to beat me. Thank you so much!"
Sedwick: "I'm just letting you know. If nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait!" Garlan glared at him angrily. "Don't force Lorian. If you want to have a relationship, do it properly. If I find out you dare to bully him, I will eliminate you without your Majesty having to do anything."
Mingnuo felt warm in his heart and looked at Sedwick with some pride.
Sedwick's lips curled up, "Well, no."
In the palace, Garlan and Finilte met in front of Zelphis's study. They looked at each other and exchanged glances, and they knew that they came for the same purpose.
Garland asked quietly: "Should we tell him?"
"Just hint at it indirectly." Finelt knew their king well. "He's too protective of Lorian. He won't be able to bear it if we tell him directly."
In fact, Finilte also sympathized with her cousin. The family of four was originally happy, but suddenly the whole family died and he was the only one left.
After so much effort, his brother finally came back to life and returned to his side, but before he could even warm up to him, he was deceived by a young man outside. It must be said that Zelphis is really miserable.
"Please show some care for the lonely old man." Finilte patted Garland on the shoulder. "Try to be as tactful as possible and don't irritate him too much."
When Garland thought about lying in front of His Majesty, he instantly felt the pressure on his back doubled. Why was he the one who had to bear the burden when his brother was in love?
Garland took a deep breath and said, "I'll try my best."
A few minutes later, Zelphis looked at Garland indifferently as he chattered about this and that without getting to the point. He put aside his work and asked him, "What do you want to do?"
Garland looked away guiltily. "Nothing much, just sharing some recent gossip with you. Oh, and remember the youngest son of the president of the military court? He's in a relationship too, and they're probably planning on getting married in a few months."
"Oh, time flies by so fast." Garland sighed, "These brothers and sisters who followed us back then are all dating and getting married now."
Zelphis didn't care whether these people were single or married, and gave a neutral "hmm".
Garland brainstormed and brought the topic back to Mingnuo: "I remember Lorian was similar to that kid. Haha, maybe Lorian will fall in love one day. After all, he's already a grown-up kid, so it's normal for him to have a relationship."
"No," Zelphis said firmly, "He's still young, and his studies are the priority right now."
Garland said casually: "Maybe this is just your wishful thinking. Lorian doesn't think so."
Zelphis raised his golden eyes to examine him, his tone dangerous, "What do you mean?"
"Uh... just a guess, don't think too much about it." Garland quickly said, "I just think that Lorian is not a minor, so it's normal for him to be in a relationship."
Zelphis knew this, of course, but he felt unhappy when he thought that Lorian would fall in love with someone wholeheartedly and revolve around this person in the future.
My younger brother is simple-minded and I’m afraid he will be deceived by someone. What if he is bullied?
Zelphis frowned irritably, "Let's not think about that right now."
Garland lit a candle for his brother in his heart, "Okay, let's not talk about it."
That evening, Mingnuo decided to send Mianhua to the detached villa his brother had arranged for him. In just a few days, Mianhua had grown several times bigger, and most of its fur had fallen off, replaced by still soft scales.
Mingnuo put a leash on it, and Sedwick packed all of Cotton's snacks, toys, and small quilts of various colors, filling three or four bags.
When Field and Lin Yu came back and saw this scene, they were shocked.
Field glanced at the large and small bags at their feet and asked anxiously, "No, are you guys reconciled or have you broken up? Is anyone moving out?"
Lin Yu looked at Ming Nuo worriedly, "Did he bully you?"
"No." Ming Nuo explained with a smile, "The cotton is too big and it's not convenient to keep it in the dormitory, so I sent it to the villa."
"You're sending my son Cotton away?!" Field exclaimed, hugging Cotton and holding its big, round face. "No, who will feed it? Who will chat with it and relax it? What if it gets too thin?"
Lin Yu was also reluctant to send Mianhua away. "Let's keep it here. If things don't work out, we can expand its nest a little bit."
Everyone watched Cotton grow up little by little. Mingnuo understood their reluctance to leave. "The villa is right on campus, just a few steps away. We can visit it from time to time. It's no different from being in the dormitory."
That's good. Field asked happily, "Can we go then?"
Ming Nuo nodded, "Of course."
Lin Yu looked at Cotton's growing size, smiled and patted its head, "Go live in a big villa. Living in this small dormitory is really too unfair for you."
Cotton looked at him blankly with his head tilted, and called out coquettishly twice, "Woo woo~"
The villa that Zelphis prepared for Mingnuo is where the school leaders live. It has beautiful scenery. Each villa has a garden with ornamental shrubs, and gardeners come to trim the branches every day.
Cotton likes it here very much and runs happily in the yard.
Mingnuo and Sedwick built a small house for it in the yard with wooden boards, covered it with a soft quilt, and put all the cotton toys inside.
Worried that Mianhua didn't like living in the yard, Mingnuo left the door open, allowing Mianhua to choose whether to sleep in the garden or in the house.
The fence in the yard was high, so there was no need to worry about Cotton jumping out. Ming Nuo filled its snack bowl with freeze-dried food and opened a can of food for it. "Just stay here and we'll come see you tomorrow."
Cotton was happily eating. Ming Nuo looked at it reluctantly, then turned and left with Sedwick. "Do you think Cotton will come looking for us in the middle of the night?"
Sedwick: "There's surveillance in the yard. You can comfort it when the time comes."
Mingnuo nodded, and that night, Cotton looked for them everywhere, whimpering and calling, which made the parents who were watching it outside the screen feel very distressed.
Field begged: "Please take it back, the child is scared."
Ming Nuo couldn't bear it either, but he still held back and spoke to Mianhua remotely, "Mianhua, go to bed obediently, we will come to see you tomorrow."
When Mianhua heard Mingnuo's voice, he looked around for him in surprise, but he was nowhere to be found. He lowered his ears in disappointment and said, "Woo woo..."
But it was no longer restless and fell asleep on the sofa.
After a few weeks, Cotton had adapted to the new life, snuggling on the sofa with good food and drink every day. As it grew rapidly, the sofa could no longer accommodate it, and the main place for its daily activities became the garden.
It was a dark night. A school leader finished a day's work and returned home tired. When passing by his neighbor's house, he heard a strange noise and looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity.
A pair of dark green vertical pupils instantly appeared in front of the school leaders. The creature was covered with hard black scales, which glowed coldly in the moonlight.
It propped up its front legs and leaned against the courtyard wall, which was two or three meters high. The hot air from its breath hit the heads of the school leaders.
"Tata, Tata-san monster..." The school leader muttered stumblingly, staring at Cotton in shock, unable to breathe, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Cotton stared at the weak human on the ground in confusion, snatched the pink ball beside him, and continued to play its favorite ball-chasing game happily.
