Chapter 62: Different from Xu Nian: It seems to be over
The howling of the wind and snow outside was a bit scary, but the occasional howls of the wolves made Xu Nian feel alive. He half-lay beside "Los", with his back pressed against the cold rock wall.
In the past, Los would put his tail on his belly to keep him warm and use his side to shield him from the wind and snow. They could even lie here together, with their furry heads exposed, and watch the vultures flying outside and the falling snow.
But now, the snow leopard beside him didn't move at all. It just rested with its eyes half closed. It seemed to be asleep, but in fact its furry ears were always standing up. Xu Nian knew that it was actually in a light sleep and the slightest noise could wake it up.
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Nian thought he was looking secretly, but in fact, Luo Yin saw him staring openly. He frowned, looked down at his side, then turned sideways with his back to Xu Nian and said, "What's wrong?"
Xu Nian: ...
He felt as if the wild snow leopard in front of him had mistaken him for a perverted one.
Although his first attempt to secretly check was unsuccessful, Xu Nian did not intend to give up. He gently dug the cricket pupa on the ground, trying his best to make as little noise as possible. However, just as he was about to sit up, a large claw pressed down on his back, and he had to lie down without warning.
But because of this, his eyes happened to touch the belly of the wild snow leopard next to him——
No matter how many times Xu Nian glanced at the other person, there was no trace of injury on his abdomen.
Xu Nian thought he was seeing things, so he stared around again. Just as he was about to lean over to take a closer look, the sound of "Los" came from above his head again. It seemed to have noticed something and said with a half-smile, "Xu Nian, what are you looking at? Why don't you take a closer look?"
Xu Nian looked up and met the other person's indescribably cold gaze. An indescribable chill immediately seeped down from the top of Xu Nian's head. The hair on his body almost exploded, but his face remained calm. He suppressed his pounding heart and said calmly, "It's okay. I just want to sleep. I feel safe sleeping next to you. Can you let me sleep in your arms?"
"No." Luo Yin refused directly. It swung its tail and turned its back to Xu Nian again, but this time Xu Nian couldn't fall asleep at all. He almost kept his eyes open until dawn, feeling that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the wild snow leopard beside him without any scars on its body.
He clearly remembered that Los had an old wound on his body, and it was impossible that even the scar could not be found in such a short time. However, Xu Nian looked at the wild snow leopard beside him and fell into deep self-doubt. He was a little suspicious whether he had seen it wrong, as they looked the same.
Xu Nian gritted his teeth and curled up, not daring to rub against the snow leopard beside him like he did before.
If the snow leopard beside him wasn't Los, then who was it? A name quickly popped up in Xu Nian's mind, and he shuddered subconsciously. Thinking of what he had said, his paw pads suddenly curled up, and he was a little afraid to recall what nonsense he had said.
But he couldn't be sure that the snow leopard in front of him was Luo Yin. After all, the snow leopard did not deny it when he called it "Los".
if……
If the snow leopard in front of him was Luo Yin, Xu Nian felt as if his life was coming to an end.
"You're not sleeping, what are you shaking for?" Luo Yin was a very light sleeper to begin with, and Xu Nian's constant antics really made him a little irritated. He turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Can you please sleep? If not, get out."
Xu Nian wanted to turn away, but after taking two steps forward, he saw a dark hole in front of him. He immediately stepped back a little, his furry ears subconsciously pressed back. He raised his head and looked at Luo Yin. He said tremblingly, "I... I'm just cold."
Luo Yin sneered, took a deep breath, swung his tail behind him twice, and said without turning his head: "Then let's go inside."
If it were before, Xu Nian would definitely not step back. He would stick close to "Los" and wait for the other party's memory to recover before complaining about how much suffering he had endured. But now he was very tactful and took several steps back until there was no room for retreat. Only then did he lie down obediently, not daring to breathe.
Luo Yin glanced at it casually and didn't take it seriously at all. He just felt that this stupid snow leopard was finally a little obedient today.
"Los." Xu Nian suddenly spoke.
Luo Yin did not respond, but just shook his tail slightly to indicate that he had heard it.
"Los." Xu Nian spoke again.
Luo Yin still didn't turn around, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"You and your brother look so similar. How does your mother tell you apart?" Xu Nian asked.
"Stupid." Luo Yin closed his eyes and said, "The smell is different."
"Oh..." Xu Nian lay on the ground, gently shaking his tail. He looked a little lost. He said, "It's a pity that my nose is not so good now. I can't smell the difference between you and Luo Yin. But come to think of it, when I met Luo Yin before, my nose was not so good either. What I mean is... I'm really curious, why did you tolerate me when I bit your tail back then?"
Luo Yin turned around and looked at Xu Nian, not quite understanding what was going on. He saw him get up from the ground and squat down. He saw Xu Nian sigh softly, looking as if reminiscing about the past. He said, "I think I like the snow leopard I met in the forest. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it."
"Los or Luo Yin?" Luo Yin pricked up his ears curiously. Although his tone remained calm, as if he was not interested in this question, the cat's tail was actually raised. Obviously, even Luo Yin could not control his tail.
Xu Nian stared at Luo Yin with burning eyes. He whispered, "It was the snow leopard that accidentally fell while trying to catch a marmot. It was Luo Yin. Even though it didn't catch the marmot, its agile posture and beautiful figure are still deeply remembered in my mind. I thought at the time, if I were a snow leopard, I would have to be like this!"
He spoke almost forcefully, as if becoming such a snow leopard was his deepest dream.
Who knew that Luo Yin would flick his tail, frown, and ask, "What's wrong? Is this something so glorious?"
Xu Nian was certain that the snow leopard in front of him was definitely not Los, because this snow leopard did not seem to be easy to deceive!
If it were Los, these few words would make Los's tail stick high for a long time.
"Anything else to say? If not, go to sleep." Luo Yin loves to sleep. Of all the things in the world, sleeping is the most important thing. He opened his mouth and yawned, and said sleepily, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after I wake up."
Luo Yin lay on the ground and soon fell into a light sleep. Xu Nian stared at Luo Yin for a while. He thought about what he had said to each other since they met. The more he thought about it, the more he felt his claws digging into the ground. Every time he thought about it, he felt the hair on his tail explode a little. He couldn't help but close his eyes, not daring to think any further.
He somewhat regretted not learning more about Luo Yin from Kaie, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a passive situation. Although he didn't know why Luo Yin didn't reveal the truth, but instead pretended to be Los.
"What on earth does it want to do?" Xu Nian lay on the ground. He once again glanced at the sleeping snow leopard in front of him. After thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply: "It's useless to think too much. I have to find a chance to run away."
He didn't dare let the other party find out that he had discovered the truth, and Xu Nian also wanted to find an opportunity to verify whether what he thought was true. After all, the fact that Los and Luo Yin looked almost exactly the same was too unexpected, and Kaie was so tight-lipped that he didn't reveal any of such important news.
Kaier, who was doing hard labor behind Los, sneezed subconsciously. He subconsciously raised his paw to rub his nose. He really felt that his sense of smell seemed to be reaching its limit. The wind was blowing so hard that tears were almost coming out of his eyes. But when he looked up and saw the wild snow leopard in front of him who looked extremely irritable, he felt that he could actually bear it.
Kaie didn't want to provoke Los at this time. After all, a male snow leopard who couldn't find a mate was the most terrifying and was in a state of extreme anxiety.
"But..." Kaie was a little confused. Was Xu Nian Luo Yin's partner or Los's partner? It was impossible for him to be both.
"Hurry up." Ross seemed to notice that Kai'er's speed had slowed down. He turned his head and looked at Kai'er, saying coldly, "Speed up."
Kaier resigned himself to his fate and continued to sniff.
From night to dawn, Xu Nian and Luo Yin stayed in the cave all night, but Los and Kaie searched all night and continued searching during the day, and only took a short rest when they were too tired.
The distance between them was getting closer and closer, but Xu Nian was unaware of it. When he saw that the snow had become a little lighter, he poked his furry head out and stared outside, as if thinking about the best way to go down.
Luo Yin walked past him, stepping lightly over the rock wall. Xu Nianguai said obediently, "Are you going hunting? Then I'll wait for you in the den."
Xu Nian was squatting in front of the cave. He looked furry all over and had an innocent and harmless look on his face.
"Getting something for nothing?" Luo Yin frowned and said, "Luo...Is that how I raised you before? Then I must be quite useless, that's why I raised you to be such a loser."
Xu Nian's furry ears drooped down, he raised his eyes and looked at Luo Yin timidly.
"Forget it, just wait." Luo Yin was about to move forward, but after a moment's thought, he added, "I'll be back soon."
Xu Nian nodded and said very obediently: "I'll wait for you to come back."
He had to take some time to sort out the current situation and find a way to survive that would be best for Leopard.
