Chapter 61: Sensing something was wrong Xu Nian: I can’t do it…
Xu Nian really felt that Los had changed a lot. If the snow leopard in front of him was not 100% Los, he would have thought that Los had been replaced by someone else.
But this snow leopard is Los, he just has lost his memory.
"Do you remember? We also encountered a brown bear once." Xu Nian clung to the rock face, shivering in the biting wind. He insisted on reminiscing with "Los" about the past, saying, "Back then, you were just like you are now. You told me to hide on the rock face. After I hid, you and Kaie went to lure the brown bear away."
Hearing this, Luo Yin glanced at Xu Nian lightly.
"Later, I saw that you were in danger, so I went to save you." Xu Nian insisted.
"You?" Luo Yin clearly didn't believe it. It snorted and laughed, "Just you? Just a good-looking piece of trash."
"..." Xu Nian looked at "Los" speechlessly, not knowing what the point was for a moment.
"It's true. Believe it or not, it's true," Xu Nian said word by word. "I even fell because of it, so my sense of smell is impaired. I really couldn't defeat the brown bear, I admit that. But I went to a higher vantage point and pulled down a rock, which hit the brown bear. I won by relying on my wits."
Xu Nian raised his chin proudly and straightened his furry chest, determined to let the snow leopard in front of him know that he, Xu Nian, was also a very smart snow leopard.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yin looked at Xu Nian a few more times, his eyes falling on his fur which looked even messier than the previous few days. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't slept well in the past few days, but Xu Nian's fur was obviously much messier and thinner than before.
Luo Yin thought that maybe Los had made Xu Nian a little fat, so his true colors were revealed after suffering for two days.
The brown bear's voice was soon drowned out by the howling of the wolves. It seemed to have realized that the wolves were nearby and immediately stopped moving. Xu Nian saw that the sound from the dense forest seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
"It's been lured away by the wolves." Even after seeing with his own eyes that the brown bear had been lured away, Luo Yin still did not relax his vigilance. His tail swung gently behind him, and he said without turning his head: "But we can't go down now. Brown bears like to pretend to leave, but they are actually waiting for their prey not far away."
Xu Nian didn't answer. Luo Yin was just curious about why the usually noisy Xu Nian was silent. Turning around, he saw that the other person was always staring at his tail. Luo Yin half-closed his eyes, put the tail behind him, and said in a bad tone: "You always stare at other snow leopards' tails. What's wrong with you?"
"Your tail hair is really fine." Xu Nian paused. He seemed to be looking at the tail, but in fact he had quietly looked towards Luo Yin's abdomen, as if he wanted to see if there was any wound on the other's abdomen.
He felt that it was impossible for the snow leopard's tail hair to grow in such a short time... He felt a little strange in his heart.
As if it had noticed Xu Nian's gaze, Luo Yin calmly turned slightly to the side to block Xu Nian's gaze. It flicked its tail lightly, turned around and jumped up two steps, walking onto a higher and more dangerous rock wall. Xu Nian thought about it and had to grit his teeth and continue to follow.
If it were in the past, he would have taken this opportunity to turn around and leave, and would never try to go to such a dangerous and steep place. However, seeing that the wild snow leopard in front of him had no intention of waiting for him, Xu Nian felt aggrieved and didn't understand where he was worse than before. He had clearly followed the previous routine, except that this time he didn't bite the other party's tail.
Since the brown bear was nearby, for safety reasons, Luo Yin decided to rest here for one night and continue walking the next day. They had to follow the prey and leave here, and they would go wherever the prey went.
Xu Nian climbed up for a bit, and suddenly felt that the steep cliffs here seemed familiar. He subconsciously paused his claws, and then found that this place was really very familiar. He raised his head and took a look, and saw a cave——
It was the cave that Los had brought him to before. He even clearly remembered Los's claw marks and dried blood on the cave wall.
"What are you standing there for?" Luo Yin noticed Xu Nian was in a daze. He turned his head to look at him and said, "Either follow me or get out of here."
Xu Nian collected his thoughts and was about to follow when he discovered that the other party had already found a place to stay. However, this place was obviously not very good. It was only big enough to accommodate one snow leopard and could not shelter from wind and rain. If he turned over slightly at night, he would be in danger of falling into a leopard cake.
Xu Nian subconsciously glanced at the cave not far from the nest. He never expected that the other party had gone around and around and actually came to the top of the rock wall at the back mountain.
Xu Nian raised his claws and scraped against the rock wall, struggling to climb up. His hind paws stepped on the slippery rock wall, and his front paws struggled to grab the protruding rocks, trying to scrape upwards. If it were before, he knew that Los would come and drag him up, just like before. But now...
He glanced at the snow leopard that was half-lying on the rock wall, with a cold and ruthless face, and felt that Los's amnesia had made him even more hard-hearted and difficult to coax.
He lay down in the cave they had been in before, thinking that the other party might have lost his memory and forgotten the cave here. When he was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pool of dried red blood on the ground from the corner of his eye. However, it was obvious that this blood and the blood on the wall were not from the same time. The blood on the ground seemed to be from a recent injury.
Just when Xu Nian went over to sniff but couldn't make out anything, Luo Yin had already arrived. At first, he was just curious about where the male snow leopard had gone, but he found the other party lying next to the cave and sniffing a pool of blood.
"Here..." This is where Los brought him. Only he and Los know about this place, so the one who left blood here is most likely Los, but...
Xu Nian turned his head and glanced at "Los" who seemed to have just discovered this cave. He looked at the other party who looked like he had never seen this place before and was sniffing around everywhere. Suddenly, an indescribable weirdness surged in his heart, even with a hint of panic that he himself could not explain.
"Los" raised his tail high, looking at the cave with a stern expression, sniffing around, rubbing it, leaving his own scent to cover the original smell, and finally set his eyes on Xu Nian. His eyes fell on the bloodstain where the other person was lying, and he leaned over to sniff gently. His eyes changed slightly, and then he looked at Xu Nian and asked with a smile: "What do you smell?"
"What... I don't smell anything." Xu Nian shuddered subconsciously, feeling that the other person's eyes looked a little fierce. He swallowed his saliva and pretended to be nothing special. He said, "You brought me here before. Maybe you lost your memory and forgot about this place. This is your secret place. You said that if anything happened, let me wait for you here. You would definitely bring your prey, step on the wind and snow, and come to pick me up in a very grand manner."
"..." Luo Yin was silent for a moment, feeling that this was not something Los would say.
Xu Nian coughed lightly, ignoring the artistic treatment of his words. The main idea was fine anyway. He flicked his tail slightly and continued, "So I came here. If possible, I hope you can recover your memory quickly, so that you will know how good you were to me and how much you loved me. You will also remember how wonderful our life was when we slept together."
"..." Luo Yin looked at the beautiful snow leopard expressionlessly. After thinking for a while, he felt his mind was a little confused.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter if you can't remember now. Just remember that you left the best, the most hidden, and the safest things to me. You were very good to me and loved me when you still had memories. So one day you'll be able to remember me even if you lose your memory. Don't be too mean to me. I'm afraid you'll cry when you remember me." Xu Nian raised his paw and subconsciously wanted to paw at the snow leopard in front of him, but as if he remembered, he retracted his paw. He squatted on the ground, looking well-behaved and aggrieved, and whispered, "Really, you will definitely regret treating me badly."
Being interrupted by Xu Nian, Luo Yin, who had a bad memory to begin with, suddenly forgot what Xu Nian looked like when he sniffed the blood. He casually flicked his tail, found the most comfortable place to lie down, and pushed Xu Nian into the corner.
It was a snowy night. Luo Yin closed his eyes to rest when he suddenly heard a sparse sound. He opened his eyes impatiently and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing?"
The wolves outside were howling, and Xu Nian was making a fuss inside, making it difficult for Luo Yin, who was already a light sleeper, to sleep. He stood up irritably and walked towards Xu Nian, looking very angry. Then he saw that the snow leopard in front of him seemed to be frightened and trembled all over. Luo Yin immediately became alert. He looked at Xu Nian cautiously and said in a cold tone, "Let me see, what are you doing?"
"...I..." Xu Nian got a tiny pika from somewhere. He turned his head, looking surprised and obedient. He held the pika in his mouth and placed it next to Luo Yin's paw, saying, "I thought you might be hungry, and I happened to see a pika, so I...thought of giving it to you. I didn't expect to wake you up. It's my fault."
Luo Yin, who was about to get angry, saw the pika. This small pika was just a snack, but when he saw Xu Nian looking so embarrassed and trembling all over, he felt a little guilty for a moment.
It suddenly understood why its useless brother treated this snow leopard so specially.
This time, it did not eat the snow rabbit, but let Xu Nian make rustling noises in the cave. Only occasionally, when it was disturbed, it would raise its two furry paws to cover its ears.
Therefore, it did not notice that Xu Nian had already quietly approached it with the pika in his mouth, and his eyes were quietly looking towards its belly.
"What?" Ross asked, opening his eyes.
Xu Nian put the pika down very smoothly, even arranging it neatly, then squatted beside it, dirty all over, raised his paw obediently, scratched it gently, and motioned Luo Yin to eat it.
He tilted his furry head slightly, looking in a good mood as he said, "I'll give it to you and let my beloved snow leopard starve. I, Xu Nian, can't do such a thing."
He needed to observe the belly of the snow leopard in front of him closely because he had a bad suspicion in his mind.
This speculation kept him awake at night.
