Chapter 64: Disguised Beta 14 Ome falls into the wolf's den...
The entire corridor was empty.
The corridor was luxuriously decorated, with marble tiles on the walls and floors, and the overhead lights were dazzling.
After walking through this enclosed corridor and down the stairs, the other side of the corridor is connected to the garden. The green plants are well maintained and you can faintly hear the chirping of cicadas.
Wu Lan was attracted by the chirping of cicadas and stopped.
The black cat walking in front noticed that the boy stopped where he was. It turned its head to look at Wu Lan, squatted down and waited, without urging him.
Compared to the lights in the corridor, the light in the garden is much dimmer. There is a small round fountain not far away, and there is a white sculpture on top of the fountain.
Wu Lan looked at it curiously for a few more times, and was about to look away when a strange voice suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?"
A young man in gardener's clothes walked out of the garden. He had dark skin and white gloves on his hands.
"No outsiders are allowed here."
The young man walked out with a frown, and after seeing the boy's face clearly, he was obviously stunned.
"Are you lost?"
His tone suddenly softened, and he was about to approach when he noticed a familiar black cat walking up to the boy.
The black cat's green eyes flashed with a strange light, and the young man froze and dared not move forward.
Wu Lan didn't notice anything unusual about the young man. When he heard that he couldn't come in here, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."
"No, it's my problem."
The young man interrupted. After seeing the black cat leap into the boy's arms, his attitude became even more respectful. He no longer dared to stare at the boy's face. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. Please go on."
After saying this, he walked quickly towards the garden, fearing that he would displease the distinguished guest, and even more afraid that someone would find out that he had been staring at the distinguished guest.
Wu Lan stared blankly at the man's leaving figure, somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, he felt a wetness on his chin. He looked down and saw that the aloof kitten had licked his chin with its tongue and touched him with its head.
This intimate look is completely different from just now.
“It’s itchy.”
Wu Lan felt itchy from being licked by the little tongue. She dodged, half-closed her eyes, touched the black cat's head and said, "Okay, no more licking."
The black cat was very smart. After hearing this, it stopped licking.
It jumped down and continued to lead the way as before, letting Wu Lan follow it.
After walking through two corridors, Wu Lan saw the cat stop in front of a wooden door and turned to look at him. When he came over, the black cat touched the wooden door with its claws, signaling Wu Lan to help open the door.
Worried that there was someone in the room, Wu Lan knocked on the door first and asked quietly, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Seeing no response from inside, he tried to open the door.
As a result, as soon as the door was opened a crack, the black cat slipped in and couldn't be stopped.
"etc!"
There was no light in the room, and the black cat blended in, becoming invisible for a moment.
Wu Lan didn't dare to go in casually, but when he heard the kitten in the room meowing, he was a little worried, wondering if the kitten was tripped by something.
He stood hesitantly at the door, listening to the increasingly frequent cat meows, and after thinking it over, he went in.
The light in the room was brighter than he had imagined.
Looking up, I saw a huge curved glass window above my head. The light from outside poured in, and the moon hanging high above me cast a gentle glow. Even though the lights were off, I could still see clearly what was going on inside.
There was a carpet in the center, with a rather large astronomical telescope placed on it.
The room is surrounded by bookcases filled with all kinds of books. Next to the bookcases is a long sofa and a matching low table.
This room looks like it was specifically used for observing the stars.
Especially the astronomical telescope placed in the center, which was obviously expensive. Wu Lan didn't dare to get close to it for fear of damaging it, but when she looked up, she saw a group of small black cats sitting upright underneath.
Wu Lan took a breath of cold air.
He squatted down and waved to the black cat: "Be good, come over here quickly."
The kitten, who had been very obedient all the way, was now very naughty, swinging its long, thin tail in the air, and just didn't want to go over.
Seeing this, Wu Lan had no choice but to move closer.
When the little black cat was finally coaxed into his arms, the door behind him was suddenly opened and a beam of light shone in.
Wu Lan was caught red-handed.
Because the person outside the door was standing with his back to the light, Wu Lan couldn't see his face clearly. She only knew that the man was tall, and when she looked into his eyes, his cold gaze made her feel cold all over.
For a moment, he froze in place.
Men Chenglin saw a young man who had broken into the room without permission. With the light from the corridor shining into the room, he could see the young man's appearance clearly.
The little fellow's face, which was as big as a palm, was very delicate, with round, black eyes. His eyelashes were very long and curled, and were trembling nervously.
He has a small frame and looks particularly noble in a custom-made suit, like a distinguished young master.
An expression of nervousness and fear appeared on this pretty little face. He looked over cautiously, holding a black cat in his arms.
Looking at the black cat's blue eyes like glass, Men Chenglin narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, the kitten that had been staying in my arms jumped down and landed on the ground.
In two or three steps, it reached the man's feet.
Wu Lan was stunned for a moment and realized that this kitten was most likely raised by a man.
"S-Sorry, I came in without permission..."
Before he could finish his words, his voice was interrupted by a hurried sound outside the door.
"Mr. Men, Mr. Men, could you give me a little more time? Regarding what we said in today's meeting..."
"Sir, Master Lin has something to do now, please leave first."
There was another voice outside the door. This voice was a little old, and the tone was polite, but the attitude was very firm: "Outsiders are not allowed to come in here, please leave quickly."
"I'll just say a few words, just one minute! Just one minute!!"
"I'm sorry, in this case, I can only ask someone to ask you to leave."
As he spoke, the other party called two tall bodyguards in black clothes and quickly took the man away.
The butler looked apologetic and very respectful: "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I didn't notice he came in here for a moment."
Men Chenglin didn't say a word. He didn't even glance at the man being taken away by the bodyguard. His deep eyes were fixed on the stiff boy in the room.
From the butler's perspective, he couldn't see anyone in the room, but he was just wondering why Men Chenglin was standing at the door.
"fine."
Men Chenglin spoke in a faint voice, leaving only two words before walking into the room and closing the door.
Wu Lan heard it clearly just now that anyone who came in without permission would be thrown out by the bodyguards.
His little face turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to make a sound. He bit his lips nervously and stared blankly at the man at the door.
When the other party closed the door, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
His heart was pounding, and seeing the other person walking towards him, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Wu Lan forgot that there was an astronomical telescope behind him. Just as he was about to bump into it with his back, the man stretched out his long arm and pulled him over.
My head hit the other person's strong chest, and a faint scent of ebony came to my face. The wood smell was very strong and dry.
"careful."
A deep male voice sounded above her head. Wu Lan slowly raised her head and found herself being pulled into the other person's arms.
The man was tall, and he only reached the other man's chest.
The dim light was not enough for him to see the man's face clearly, but the other party's voice made him a little dazed.
He seemed to have heard somewhere...
"Did you hit anything?"
Men Chenglin looked at the stunned little boy in his arms, moved a little distance away, and planned to take a closer look.
As the distance widened, the faint light from the moon shone on the man's face.
Wu Lan blinked and finally found the other person's figure in her memory. This was the man who went to the store to buy a cake a few days ago.
"You, you came to buy a cake that day..." He was halfway through his sentence when he remembered that he had barged in and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I came in without permission."
"I followed the kitten here. It ran in and I wanted to take it out. I didn't sneak in on purpose..."
Because he was anxious, his words were a little messy and lacked some logic.
But Men Chenglin understood.
He glanced at the black cat on the ground with his peripheral vision, his eyes darkening. "I know you didn't mean it, no need to apologize."
Men Chenglin didn't seem to care about Wu Lan's unauthorized entry. He touched Wu Lan's head naturally and said softly, "I'm glad that you still remember me."
The other party's gentle tone eased Wu Lan's nervousness, and her uneasy heart slowly calmed down. She thought that she would not be kicked out by the bodyguards like the man just now.
When he relaxed, he found that his calf was hooked by the black cat's long tail again, and the black furry little head was rubbing against his leg affectionately.
"Is this your cat?"
"Um."
Men Chenglin looked at the black cat making such an intimate gesture, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his handsome face, but he quickly concealed it.
Voice command to turn on all the lights in the room.
Wu Lan was finally able to see everything in the room and the man's face.
Thinking of the name he had just heard about the other party, he thought for a moment and whispered, "Mr. Men, I think I should leave."
This distant name made Men Chenglin frown slightly. He glanced again at the black cat still clinging to the boy and suddenly said, "I heard there will be a shooting star tonight."
"meteor?"
Wu Lan had never seen a shooting star, but he heard that shooting stars were beautiful and that one could make a wish on them.
Seeing the little boy's curiosity and anticipation, Men Chenglin chuckled, "You can see the stars with a telescope. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Wu Lan is interested!
He nodded and walked with the other party to the astronomical telescope. After Men Chenglin adjusted the angle, he carefully put his head over.
Following Men Chenglin's example, Wu Lan closed one eye and saw several stars appearing in her narrow field of vision, shining exceptionally brightly.
It was his first time to see the stars so closely, and his eyes were filled with amazement.
"The brightest one is Sirius, which glows with a bluish-purple light and is the brightest star."
"Can you see it?"
"able!"
Wu Lan's attention was completely focused on the stars, and she didn't notice that her current posture looked like she was being embraced by Men Chenglin.
At such an intimate distance, Men Chenglin just lowered his head slightly and smelled a very faint sweet scent of peach.
His eyes swept over the back of Wu Lan's neck covered by the collar, and his dark pupils suddenly showed a layer of emerald green, with a green tint in the ink.
The black cat squatting below just looked up, and its two pairs of emerald green pupils contracted at the same time.
