Chapter 4
The silver-haired boy lowered his eyes and didn't hear clearly what Xingnuo said.
He stepped into the door, searched around the entrance holding the cub, and finally bent down and put a pair of plush slippers with rabbit ears on Xingnuo.
"Put on your shoes, or you'll have to go to the pool if you get sick."
The cub stayed in the pool for the entire day, curled up in a small ball, unconscious, which was heartbreaking to see.
Lin Ke, who was standing nearby, scratched his neck and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"Dude, it's the end of May now, and summer is coming soon. Are you putting fluffy cotton slippers on your child?"
The silver-haired boy looked puzzled when he heard that and lifted the little guy's feet.
He looked at them again and again, wondering what was wrong with the cotton slippers?
Plush and warm, what a treat for a human cub!
Xingnuo was woken up in the middle of the night with a dazed head. Seeing his brother looking down at his shoes, he also lowered his head a little bit slowly and stared at the rabbit cotton slippers for a long time.
Finally, Xingnuo raised his little head, remembered something, and continued to speak stickily:
"Looking for Dad."
Lin Ke wanted to ask where her father had gone, but before she could open her mouth, her mother Lin, who came upstairs, grabbed her ear angrily.
"Lin Ke, what are you yelling about in the stairwell in the middle of the night? You woke up the whole building!"
Mother Lin looked at Xingnuo, who was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyelids and whose little head kept nodding, and she felt distressed and guilty.
"I'm sorry, Lin Ke is about to enter his third year of high school. He's under a lot of pressure. I woke you up so late at night."
Mother Lin looked at the silver-haired boy again and couldn't help wondering:
"Who are you?"
The boy pressed his lips together, his voice was flat:
“Chen Baizhou, Brother Xingnuo.”
Mother Lin then said "oh" and saw Xingnuo leaning his head on this Shamatte white-haired boy with a strong sense of dependence, so she didn't doubt it much.
This new neighbor has dyed his hair in a very unique way.
You can tell at first glance that they are a family.
After apologizing repeatedly, Mother Lin gritted her teeth and dragged her son upstairs.
"Go back now! Don't disturb the neighbors' rest!"
Before entering the house, Lin Ke still shouted unconvinced:
"I really encountered a mysterious wall just now! Why don't you believe me?"
The door was slammed.
Shen Baizhou felt that the world was finally peaceful.
Picking up Xingnuo, whose eyelids were glued together from sleepiness, Shen Baizhou gently patted his back and walked towards the bedroom.
Xingnuo could hardly open his eyes, and he was still mumbling:
“Look, look…”
He was still thinking about going to find his father.
Shen Baizhou did not stop, he gently put the little guy on the bed and patted his back.
It was already midnight, Xingnuo's mind was in a mess, and the thought of looking for his father was gradually pushed into a corner by sleepiness.
In just a few breaths, Xingnuo's eyelids stuck together and could no longer be separated.
Shen Baizhou watched the cub's breathing become even, covered Xingnuo with a blanket, and then clumsily stuffed a sleeping pillow into Xingnuo's arms.
Seeing the cub sleeping, Shen Baizhou held his chin and watched for a while, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Xingnuo's sleeping red face.
It feels soft and hot.
Shen Baizhou's eyes, which were always half closed, suddenly curved up.
This is probably what my father mentioned before, the "live energy" that all human beings have.
Shen Baizhou pinched his face again.
It's icy cold, and it's not the feel a normal human being should have.
***
The morning light penetrated into the warm bedroom, waking up Shen Baizhou who was on standby.
Shen Baizhou's mind, which had been empty for the whole night, slowly began to work as he pondered a question.
This house doesn't seem to have a bathtub.
Where will he sleep then?
When Xing Nuo woke up, his dazed eyes reflected his equally dazed brother Shen Baizhou.
Xingnuo tilted his head, his hair falling on one side of his cheek.
"elder brother?"
What are you thinking about?
Shen Baizhou hummed, looked at the little guy's soft and standing hair, and subconsciously reached out and rubbed it.
A sudden burst of joy appeared in his eyes.
Shen Baizhou touched the cub's hair and shook his head in a good mood.
"Nothing, breakfast?"
Shen Baizhou learned this breakfast from watching documentaries about human observation.
After he learned it, he realized that humans all need to eat breakfast.
This is especially true for little cubs, they cannot miss a single meal!
Otherwise the fragile little cub will die.
Xingnuo's brain was still a little confused after it had just restarted. He didn't realize that he was not in the castle, nor did he realize that his father was not at home.
He nodded and held out his hand to his brother.
"Okay."
Shen Baizhou had not lived in the castle for long, and was not very skilled in holding the baby, so he slowly moved to the kitchen with his arms stiff.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some food."
Shen Baizhou put Xing Nuo at the door and went to the kitchen to open the pot.
No food?
I opened another pan, but nothing there? !
Shen Baizhou couldn't help but look confused.
Before coming to the human world, he watched the documentary carefully.
Humans’ meals are all placed in the pot, so why isn’t there any in this house?
Shen Baizhou frowned and stared at the kitchen, but couldn't see what was wrong.
At the door, Xingnuo's little face, which had just woken up, still had red marks on it. He tilted his little head back, with his messy hair hanging limply, and looked blankly at his brother who was looking for food in the pot.
"elder brother?"
Shen Baizhou raised his hand, "It's okay, brother is thinking."
Xingnuo stood obediently at the door, scratched his little face, and his sleepy mind gradually became clear.
“I don’t want to eat it!”
Seeing his brother's embarrassment, Xingnuo obediently and seriously offered suggestions.
However, it was rejected by Shen Baizhou the next second.
"No, you'll die!"
Shen Baizhou's face was very serious. He walked to the door and squatted down, pinching Xingnuo's fair and tender little face and gently pulling it to both sides.
"Humans must eat!"
Shen Baizhou thought about it, and finally came up with an idea.
"I'll go grab one."
As expected of a monster taught by Shen Wen, when encountering a problem, his first reaction is to steal from others.
“No, no…”
Xingnuo, whose face was pinched, shook his head and spoke to stop his brother's dangerous idea:
“No.”
Shen Baizhou didn't listen.
He stood up and looked at the fruit bowl-shaped clock hanging in the room and found that it was almost eight o'clock.
Humans should eat breakfast before eight o'clock!
Shen Baizhou walked to the living room, but suddenly sensed something, his eyes suddenly changed, and his single eyelids drooped slightly.
With a cold look in his eyes, he flashed to the door and opened it with a swish.
Lin Ke, who was standing at the door, exclaimed "Fuck!"
"Dude, why did you open the door so suddenly? You scared me to death!"
Shen Baizhou didn't say anything. His cold white skin was coated with a layer of dark light by the lamp at the door, and his face was expressionless and indifferent.
He stretched out his hand and tried to strangle Lin Ke's neck.
Behind him, Xingnuo ran over staggeringly and bumped his head into Shen Baizhou's leg.
Shen Baizhou's hand paused in mid-air, then instantly changed direction, reaching out to pick up Xingnuo, whose head was red from the impact.
"Your head is red from the knock." Shen Baizhou said with a frown.
Xingnuo raised his little face, moved closer to his brother, and said in a vague voice:
"Blow it."
Shen Baizhou looked at Xing Nuo, whose forehead was red, and his expression was no longer as cold as before.
Although he didn't understand the purpose of blowing, Shen Baizhou still lowered his eyes seriously and blew on the cub's forehead.
Lin Ke on the opposite side patted his chest. Seeing this scene of brothers being so friendly and respectful to each other, he felt quite heartwarming.
"I was so scared. When I saw your expression just now, I thought you were going to kill me, hahaha."
Lin Ke thought he was making a humorous joke, but when he found that Shen Baizhou didn't respond, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
"Um, my mom sent me some fruit. I'm so sorry for waking you up last night."
"But man, I'm serious. There must be something wrong in our corridor. I plan to find a Taoist priest or a monk to exorcise the evil spirits today!"
"I don't know what's going on, there have been a lot of weird things happening lately!"
Lin Kexin is a talkative person. Even if Shen Baizhou has a blank face and doesn't respond, she can still talk happily for a long time.
After saying that, Lin Ke handed over the fruit basket in his hand.
Shen Baizhou didn't take it, but tilted his head, his silver hair sweeping across his slightly opened light-colored eyes, looking at the other bag in his hand.
"What's that in your left hand?"
Lin Ke exclaimed, lifted up the bun in his bag and took a bite.
"My breakfast!" he murmured.
Shen Baizhou raised his single eyelid and glanced at Lin Ke.
"oh."
It's stained with saliva and can't be eaten.
Lin Ke thought of something and swallowed the bun.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? My mom made a lot, I'll get you some!"
Both the mother and son of the Lin family have warm and cheerful personalities. Before Shen Baizhou could say anything, Lin Ke ran back and brought down a basket of buns from her own family.
Before eight o'clock, Xingnuo finally had breakfast.
Mother Lin knew that the two brothers didn't make breakfast, so she gave them half a pot of oatmeal porridge and added sweet and smooth milk to it, which tasted sweet.
Xingnuo held the big, soft, white bun in both hands, and when he took a bite, he could only get the skin.
But he still ate with gusto. Every time his brother fed him a mouthful of oatmeal, his beautiful short legs began to sway.
After taking two bites of the bun, Xingnuo was almost full. He looked at the spoon at his mouth and shook his head.
"No."
Shen Baizhou held up a spoon, and his eyelids suddenly opened when he heard the words.
He shook his head solemnly and refused: "Human cubs need to eat a lot to be healthy."
He only has one younger brother, and he's so young. What if he doesn't have enough to eat and dies?
Shen Baizhou couldn't help but feel anxious, so he coaxed her patiently and fed Xingnuo two more bites.
Xingnuo, who had only a small appetite, pursed his lips and finally said that he didn't want to eat anything.
Avoiding his brother's spoon, Xingnuo turned his little head and looked around, then started asking:
"Where's Dad?"
Seeing that Xingnuo really didn't want to eat anymore, Shen Baizhou had no choice but to put the spoon back and shook his head.
"I don't know, but he's not dead."
Xingnuo was confused: "Not dead?"
Shen Baizhou nodded: “Yeah.”
For Shen Baizhou, judging the state of a monster or a person is to see whether it is alive or dead.
If you're alive, then everything is fine.
According to Chen Wen's strength, he must still be alive and well.
Xingnuo was temporarily fooled by his brother. After thinking for a long time, he could only come to the conclusion that his father was very busy.
"Okay."
Since dad is not around, Xingnuo has to stick to his brother's arms.
Xingnuo was too weak when he was born and the environment around him was relatively closed, which made him extremely dependent on adults psychologically.
Shen Wen discovered this problem a long time ago.
Sometimes he needs to go into the dungeon, but the dungeon world is full of dangers and it is not convenient to bring Xingnuo in.
So after thinking about it, Shen Wen thought of the monster he had created before -
Sink the white boat.
Shen Wen chose Shen Baizhou because of several factors.
Shen Baizhou is extremely powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has the top combat power of a dungeon boss. Even Chen Wen will not confront Shen Baizhou head-on.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shen Baizhou’s brain is not very bright.
