Bai Yue's closeness to the little cub helped Bai Yang calm down a little.
Lin Anan patted the kitten's back with her small tentacles. The tips of the tentacles glowed green, and she gave her a full body check-up.
The examination results showed that apart from being relatively weak and needing to rest, there was nothing wrong with Bai Yue's body. Even the medicine injected into her at the auction venue had completely disappeared due to the treatment the day before.
Bai Yang was very nervous, afraid that the conversation would disturb his sister, so he even used his cat's paw to type on the terminal and asked: [How is Yueyue? ]
[No problem.] Lin Anan said, [My body has recovered well. I just need to rest more and take more nutrition for a while.]
Bai Yang continued typing, the white cat's tail flapping the soft mattress because of nervousness: [But Yueyue doesn't talk, doesn't want to eat, and... I feel like something is wrong with her. ]
Not speaking?
The little kitten's tentacles immediately rested on Bai Yue's neck. The little kitten opened his eyes and glanced at him, but did not move.
After a moment, Lin Anan retracted her little tentacles: [There is nothing wrong with my throat or vocal cords.]
Bai Yang was puzzled: [Then how——]
[Stress disorder.] Lin An'an replied, [Yueyue was subjected to too much stress before, and her spirit could not bear it, so she developed some psychological disorders.]
Ultimately, it was the aftereffects of the previous auction.
Fortunately, Bai Yue is not completely unresponsive to the outside world, which means that her psychological disorder is still within the controllable range. As long as she is treated, there is a very high possibility that she will return to normal in the future.
Bai Yang unconsciously stretched out his cat claws: [Can it be cured? ]
[Yes, but it will take time.] Lin Anan said, [You may have to work harder during this period. Don't let her see or hear anything related to the auction.]
[Okay.] Bai Yang nodded firmly, [Anything else?]
The little guy gave some relevant precautions, and Bai Yang was afraid that he would not be able to remember them, so he wrote them down on the terminal using a memo.
After writing this down, Bai Yang asked again: [But Yueyue doesn’t want to eat…]
Lin Anan frowned: [Were the foods given to you at the auction drugged? ]
[Yes, there should be some muscle relaxant in it. I took it once and it didn’t feel right, so I never took it again.] Bai Yang was stunned and said, [Yueyue and I were not locked up together, but the food given to us by the auction... should be the same.]
[That's it.] Lin Anan was so angry that the tips of her tentacles were tense. [Although Yueyue is young, she knows that eating those foods will make her feel uncomfortable.]
This is also one of the symptoms of psychological disorders.
Bai Yang suddenly meowed. Although this sentence was not spoken through mental power, Lin Anan knew that he was cursing the underground auction.
Judging from the sound, it should be a dirty curse.
Lin Anan sighed in her heart, took the plate beside her, took a bite of the cucumber in the small bowl, then unscrewed the cap of the nutrient solution bottle and took a sip.
The kitten lying beside him was watching his every move and his stomach suddenly growled.
Lin Anan was trying to tell Bai Yue with her actions that there was nothing wrong with these foods and they could be eaten with confidence.
This action obviously worked. When Bai Yang handed the cucumber to Bai Yue's mouth again, the kitten opened its mouth obediently, and its movements could even be described as eager.
Bai Yang's eyes lit up and he fed his sister the nutrient solution again. They also took a bite of the other food in the bowl and finished it all.
After eating and drinking, Bai Yue soon began to feel sleepy again and fell asleep snuggling up to her brother.
Bai Yue looked at the little boy gratefully, and typed gently on the terminal: [Thank you. ]
Lin Anan waved her little tentacles and gave him a soft, baby smile.
A few days later, Lin Anan was invited to He Yinghong's new home.
He Yinghong's new house is not big, but there is a very large backyard out of the back door. There are some herbs planted in one corner of the yard, and one of them is a red spiritual fruit that is growing very well.
The red spiritual fruit was given to He Yinghong by Lin Anan a few days ago, and he transplanted it from a small flowerpot to the yard.
These days, He Yinghong has been renovating this new home. He demolished the entire third floor and turned it into a fairly spacious sky balcony.
After Lin Anan followed him upstairs, her eyes lit up instantly.
Although this place is still an empty wasteland with nothing on it, he can almost imagine how beautiful it will be when it is planted with flowers and plants.
This sky balcony is simply a small paradise for planting enthusiasts.
Noticing the excitement of the little cub in his hand, Feng Wu asked, "Do you like it?"
The little guy said without hesitation: "Yingji!" I like it!
Feng Wu: "Okay, I'll tell Si Youlin when we get back."
Lin Anan was slightly startled: [But Brother Snake’s third floor is useful, his study and your studio are both on the third floor. ]
"You can add more." Feng Wu said, "Build a rooftop farm on top of the third floor."
The little boy was very touched, but he still corrected her earnestly: [This is called a sky balcony, or a sky garden. ]
Feng Wu: "...Okay, build a sky garden."
He Yinghong said with a smile: "I plan to use the yard downstairs to grow herbs, and the balcony here will be used to grow some vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants."
Although he does not have plant-related abilities, he is quite interested in planting.
[No problem!] The little guy typed, [I still have a lot of seeds whose quality has been improved by supernatural powers. You can just plant them directly.]
The house was big, and it inevitably looked a bit empty for He Yinghong to live alone. However, he had a lot of miscellaneous things, so he divided several rooms into storage rooms and filled them up.
"I've always liked collecting weird things since I was young," He Yinghong said. "I have collected all kinds of things. There are so many that I can't remember them all. If you have time, you can look through them to see if there's anything you like."
Lin Anan was immediately filled with anticipation.
Who doesn’t like some weird little things? Even if you don’t use them at home, you’ll still enjoy looking at them!
He Yinghong was quite generous: "Take whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you take everything out."
Xiong Yingjun and Si Youlin were in the restaurant on the first floor. This time when they went out, they brought the White Cat siblings with them.
This was the first time Si Youlin went out since he was promoted to a "corpse".
There are many people on the Sin Star and they have many eyes. In order to avoid being discovered, Si Youlin is fully armed to ensure that even if he walks in front of the person he is most familiar with, the other party will not recognize him at all.
The white cat brother and sister were also disguised, but the two little white cats were not big, so it was much easier for them to go out than Si Youlin.
After Bai Yang and Lin Anan's careful care over the past few days, Bai Yue's condition has improved a lot.
Although the kitten still doesn't want to speak, she is no longer afraid of the "big guys" that often appear in the house. Sometimes she will even take the initiative to walk up to Xiong Yingjun and the others, curiously watching what they are doing.
This was a huge improvement. Bai Yang saw it and felt relieved. He turned around and worked harder to feed his sister, hoping that she would get better faster.
The only pity is that... there was no follow-up to the underground auction in the inner city.
Except for the fact that it was on the crime network hot search the day after the venue was bombed, and that hot search was quickly removed, Lin Anan never saw any related news after that.
If you think about it, you will understand that this matter should have been suppressed, or even directly set as a banned topic.
Feng Wu's explanation was: "The Sin Star has actually separated itself from the outside interstellar society."
Lin Anan could understand what he meant. Although the residents on Sin Star still had citizenship of both the Federation and the Empire, the laws of the Imperial Federation had too little binding force on the residents of Sin Star.
If she had to describe it, Lin Anan felt that the Sin Star was like a small world that had just been born. There was no order in this world yet. It was chaotic and disorderly, and everything depended on self-consciousness.
In an orderly world, dark places can breed a large number of dark creatures, let alone such a basically disordered world?
Lin Anan felt helpless and even powerless about this. She could only bury her head in Brother Wolf's arms and act like a little cub who didn't want to use his brain.
The world is so big, he just wants to live a good life with the people around him.
He Yinghong had already prepared dinner in advance, but Lin Anan brought some extra vegetables, so Si Youlin made a few more dishes while they were touring the house.
Si Youlin is the best cook among them. When he was weak and bedridden every day, Xiong Yingjun prepared three meals a day for the family.
The little cub doesn’t have high requirements for Xiong Yingjun’s cooking skills, as long as it’s edible.
But ever since Si Youlin's health gradually improved and he took over the job of providing three meals a day, the little cub completely abandoned Brother Bear and went to Brother Snake's gentle harbor.
In response to this, Xiong Yingjun complained for a long time, and angrily ate five bowls of rice with the dishes made by Si Youlin.
Everyone was eating happily at the table. Even Bai Yue had a good appetite and finished the whole plate of rice and vegetables that everyone picked for her.
At this moment, He Yinghong's terminal suddenly rang.
The kid, who was eating with a small spoon in hand, couldn't help but look up and glanced in the direction of Grandpa He, but saw that he had a slightly frown on his brows and didn't seem to have any intention of looking at the terminal.
——This ringtone seems to be the terminal’s default special prompt tone?
Lin Anan suppressed her curiosity, looked away and continued eating.
But the person who sent the message did not seem to intend to let He Yinghong go. Special reminder tones rang one after another. He Yinghong frowned even more tightly and simply muted the terminal.
"Sorry." He said to everyone at the dinner table, then stood up and walked aside to check the news.
There was only one person on his special care list, his adopted son He Yuanwang, so it was naturally him who sent him the message.
[Qiu Xia diagnosed Alpha, the symptoms are not serious, and his mood is relatively stable. ]
[He boarded the starship bound for Sin Star this morning and should have arrived by now.]
【Qiu Xia said he planned to go to City C.】
[I know you are also in City C. Sin Star is in such a mess, you and him can take care of each other.]
[Qiu Xia also followed my orders in doing what happened before.]
[You should not blame him too much. The situation is special now. I hope you are all well...]
He Yinghong didn't want to read any more news.
Nothing else, he was just plain disgusted.
Qiuxia’s full name is Tong Qiuxia, and he was once his apprentice.
The reason why it is "once" is because ever since He Yuanwang took over the company, Tong Qiuxia turned around and joined He Yuanwang, and He Yinghong expelled him from the sect.
Since then, He Yinghong is the only one left in Heshi Ancient Pharmaceutical, which already had very few employees.
What about looking after each other, what about not blaming him——
It's all bullshit!
He Yinghong was so angry that he turned off the terminal. After spending some time calming down, he managed to control his expression and returned to the dining table.
But everyone present was a person who was sensitive to emotions, so how could they not see the smile that He Yinghong was forcing?
Si Youlin and Xiong Yingjun glanced at each other secretly, and kept looking in the direction of He Yinghong with some worry.
The little cub put down the small spoon in his tentacle and typed on the light screen: [Grandpa He, after dinner, let's go to the sky garden to plant flowers together? I still have some daisy seeds. ]
After Lin Anan finished typing, she found that He Yinghong didn't pay any attention to the light screen, so she poked him lightly with the tip of her tentacle: "Yingji!"
He Yinghong looked down and his eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, the little daisy is pretty, I like it!"
Seeing that Mr. He was in high spirits, the little guy breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
He didn't know what had happened, so he had no way to comfort him. He could only try to divert Mr. He's attention and make him forget the unhappy things temporarily.
Now it seems that his approach was quite wise.
After dinner, everyone took a short rest in the living room. When they were about to go upstairs to plant daisies, the doorbell suddenly rang.
It's already dark outside, who could it be at this time?
He Yinghong stood up: "I'll go take a look."
The new house has a basic security defense system. As soon as He Yinghong walked to the door, he saw a familiar figure on the light screen.
On the light screen, a round-faced young man stood upright at the door, looking up at the surveillance camera with a sweet and innocent smile.
The young man's lips opened and closed, and He Yinghong understood his lip language: "Teacher."
This young man is Tong Qiuxia.
He Yinghong's blood pressure rose again. He didn't want to open the door for Tong Qiuxia, but there was one thing he had to figure out.
The door opened, and when the round-faced young man saw the person inside, his eyes lit up: "Teacher!"
"Don't call me teacher." He Yinghong said coldly: "How do you know I live here?"
"I guessed." Tong Qiuxia said, "I thought you were in the inner city and wanted to go directly to the inner city to find you, but I happened to pass by this house."
As he spoke, he took a step back and pointed at the rooftop: "I saw this rooftop right away. As far as I can remember, no one except you would build a garden on the rooftop, and it would be a bare garden with nothing planted on it."
He Yinghong's expression eased a little. He almost thought that He Yuanwang was secretly monitoring him, but now it seems that the other party is not that disgusting.
Tong Qiuxia tilted her head: "Teacher, won't you let me go in and sit for a while? I was just sent to the Sin Star and I'm very tired now."
"I told you not to call me teacher." He Yinghong's face darkened again. "Just come in and sit down. It's not convenient to have guests at home."
As he spoke, he couldn't bear it when he saw the exhausted look on his former student's face.
"Go forward and turn left at the second intersection. There is a small hotel with a nice environment. You can stay there for one night." He Yinghong said kindly, "The price is not expensive. The salary He Yuanwang offers you will definitely be enough."
After saying that, he wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Tong Qiuxia.
"But I brought you some herbs." Tong Qiuxia said pitifully, as if trying to gain sympathy. "Don't you love herbs the most? I know it's hard to buy herbs on Sin Star, so I brought some for you."
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from the terminal space, and a light herbal fragrance immediately overflowed.
The young man's tone was pleading, as if he was lowering his head to show goodwill. He Yinghong's heart was shaken for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
It was the same last time.
The same expression of admitting one's fault and trying to please, the same humble tone, after he softened his heart and expressed forgiveness and agreed to his request -
He then stabbed him in the back.
He Yuanwang’s successful disbanding of the ancient pharmaceutical research team was inseparable from Tong Qiuxia’s help.
"No need for the herbal medicine." He Yinghong refused calmly, "I don't need it."
These words were not just spoken in anger. After seeing the high-quality herbs produced by Lin Anan, the herbs sold at high prices outside were just like defective products in He Yinghong's eyes.
There was a flash of surprise in Tong Qiuxia's eyes. Seeing that the door was about to be closed by He Yinghong, he suddenly sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"It seems that Brother Yuanwang is right." Tong Qiuxia put away her previous expression and pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, "You have lost the ability to make medicine."
He Yinghong's hand holding the door handle suddenly clenched.
Tong Qiuxia smiled, but the mockery in his eyes became even stronger, as if the person in front of him was not his former mentor, but his mortal enemy who was under his feet.
He stopped talking, and quickly spotted a hint of pain in He Yinghong's expression. He turned around with satisfaction and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a balloon filled with water flew out of the house and hit Tong Qiuxia's back of the head accurately.
The balloon burst above his head, and a bucket of water poured all over him.
The neatly dressed young man was immediately soaked like a drowned rat and looked quite disheveled.
Tong Qiuxia was extremely angry. He wiped the water off his face, turned around and sneered, "When did your methods become so despicable? Even if you were angry and wanted to give up on yourself, you wouldn't resort to such childish methods, right?"
He Yinghong was equally shocked: "It's not me."
Tong Qiuxia: "What?"
"I didn't throw the water ball." He Yinghong turned slightly, revealing the scene inside the house behind him.
The little black ball jumped out of the house and soon came to Tong Qiuxia's side.
Tong Qiuxia looked down at the monster cub, and the cub also looked up, with his miserable appearance reflected in his bright black eyes.
Tong Qiuxia laughed in anger: "Where did it come from——"
Before he could finish his words, the little cub suddenly opened his mouth wide: "Oh oh oh oh oh——"
Tong Qiuxia was startled by the sudden crying and she stopped talking halfway through.
He Yinghong stood there in a daze, not knowing what Lin Anan was doing.
Why are you still crying?
Is this crying?
But why, why is there not a single tear?
Heavy footsteps were heard behind him again. He Yinghong subconsciously stepped aside to make way. He saw the tall and strong Xiong Yingjun stomping on the floor with a loud bang and rushing towards the door at a very fast speed.
While rushing, he yelled: "Baby! What's wrong, baby! Who bullied you, baby!!!"
Tong Qiuxia was frightened and subconsciously took a step back. His body size was too different from that of the person who came. He was afraid that the other party would not be able to brake in time and he would be knocked to the ground.
——If he were to be crushed by this size, he would at least suffer internal injuries, right?
When the little cub saw his backer coming, he cried even harder, and while crying he pointed with his little tentacles at the pink rubber skin on the ground. That was the 'corpse' of the balloon filled with water.
After pointing at the balloon corpse, the little tentacle pointed at Tong Qiuxia again, and the whimpering sound suddenly rose in pitch.
The look on his face was as if he was accusing the person in front of him of breaking his favorite toy.
Xiong Yingjun was furious, his eyes wide as bells: "You broke Zizi's balloon?!"
Tong Qiuxia was slightly timid: "No, no——"
Xiong Yingjun took a step forward aggressively and said even more viciously: "How dare you break Zizi's balloon?!"
Tong Qiuxia felt extremely frustrated.
Who the hell broke this damn kid's damn balloon? ! It was clearly this naughty kid who threw it himself! He is the victim, okay? ! !
Unfortunately, Xiong Yingjun didn't intend to give him a chance to explain.
He took another step forward, quickly bent down to pick up the dead balloon, and accused: "How old are you? Not only did you steal the kid's toy, but you also broke it? How shameless! "
The little kid beside him said: "Boo-ji-boo!"
That's right! How shameless! !
They made quite a lot of noise, and many nearby residents opened their windows to see what was going on.
Tong Qiuxia never expected this to happen: "Are you sick?!"
He shouted and tried to leave, but Xiong Yingjun quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "You want to just leave like that? You want to just walk away after breaking other people's things?"
Tong Qiuxia struggled twice but failed. The big guy in front of him was too strong and he couldn't defeat him at all.
"Brother, it really wasn't me." Tong Qiuxia softened his voice and put on an extremely innocent expression, "The kid threw it out himself and splashed me with water..."
Xiong Yingjun couldn't believe it: "You're still slandering the baby? How old is the baby? How big is the water ball? The baby can't even hold it! Can you find an excuse that others can believe?!"
More and more people gathered around to watch the fun. Xiong Yingjun was not afraid of the noise, but Tong Qiuxia, who had just arrived at Zui Xing, did not have the courage.
He looked at He Yinghong for help, but saw that the other party was leaning against the door with his arms folded, watching a show, and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
He Yinghong now understood that Anzi and Xiong Yingjun were just acting. As for the reason...
Mostly for him.
Noticing Tong Qiuxia's pleading gaze, He Yinghong spread his hands and said, "Xiao Qiu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you broke Zizi's toy, so you have to apologize, right?"
Tong Qiuxia: “…”
He laughed in anger: "Okay, I apologize, okay?"
"How can an apology alone be enough?" Xiong Yingjun obviously didn't intend to let him go. "One thing for one thing. You broke Zaizai's toy, so you have to give Zaizai a new toy!"
The crowd cheered:
"That's right! If you break something, you have to pay for it. Don't refuse to pay!"
"Why do all kinds of people have it? Do they even want to take away the cubs' toys?"
Tong Qiuxia had no words to express her pain, and she couldn't leave, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "...I don't have any toys."
"Then give me something else to compensate you!" Xiong Yingjun snorted coldly. He lowered his head to look at the cub on the ground and said softly, "Cub, do you want anything?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Tong Qiuxia and landed on the cloth bag in the other's hand.
"Why is it just a tattered cloth bag?" Xiong Yingjun looked disdainful.
The little cub suddenly jumped up and hugged the bag tightly: "Bingji!"
"You like it?" Xiong Yingjun frowned tightly, "Change to something else? This thing is too shabby and not fun at all."
The little cub shook his head: "Boo-chi-boo-chi!"
"Okay, since you like it." Xiong Yingjun grumbled unsatisfactorily and reluctantly snatched the 'rag bag' from Tong Qiuxia's hand.
Tong Qiuxia widened her eyes: "Eh——"
Xiong Yingjun said fiercely: "Why, do you have any objection?"
The force on his wrist became stronger, and Tong Qiuxia even felt that if the other party didn't let go, his wrist would be broken.
So he could only say: "No problem, no problem, big brother, please let me go, my hand is really going to break."
Xiong Yingjun snorted coldly, finally let go of his hand, and went back to the house carrying the cub and the rag bag.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and some people sighed before leaving: "He looked like such a good-looking guy, but who knew he had such a bad heart. Tsk tsk, you can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Tong Qiuxia: “…”
grass!
It’s so damn unlucky!!!
