What happened?
Ning Feng and the other man prepared the ingredients and waited quietly for Xilin, preparing for the three of them to have dinner together.
But Shirin did not return by the agreed time, nor did she send any message back.
At first, the two weren't in a hurry, thinking that something had happened at headquarters and they might be a little late.
This situation is actually quite normal and nothing to be alarmed about.
After all, various things can cause delays, and besides, Shireen is a legend, not some weak woman...
There's no need to worry about her safety at the Watchers headquarters.
But as time passed and the night deepened, the atmosphere in the room changed silently.
Ning Feng and Jiang Wan, belatedly realizing the seriousness of the situation, suddenly discovered a very serious problem: they had lost contact with Xilin!
As the main base of the Watchers, the headquarters is located in a special space.
To preserve its most precious heritage, some special areas have unique restrictions, maintaining only one-way communication with the outside world.
Unless they use special means, the two of them have no way of taking the initiative to contact Shirin, who is at the Watchmen headquarters.
It's not that he has no tricks at all; Ning Feng will be able to teleport to Sky City to find the Stargazer.
However, this presents two problems. Firstly, Ning Feng is unsure whether the teleportation beacon is still useful and may be turned away.
Furthermore, it seems a bit of an overreaction to contact a stargazer just because "my wife came home late."
Fortunately, Ning Feng's intuition didn't suggest a major crisis, and he assumed that Xilin hadn't encountered anything bad, which allowed him to suppress his anxiety and continue waiting.
Fortunately, they did not face the worst possible future.
Just as Ning Feng was about to lose his composure and was about to shamelessly try to contact the stargazer, Xilin finally returned home safely.
They were not harmed, nor did anything bad happen, but the time was almost ten hours later than originally planned.
There was nothing strange about her emotions; the only abnormal thing was the look of utter despair on her face.
Even with her legendary physique, she couldn't hide the exhaustion on her face.
What happened?
What could have made Shirin so exhausted?
After several special training sessions, Ning Feng discovered that Xilin's physique was much stronger than it appeared on the surface, and her slender body contained considerable strength.
Her body doesn't feel weak at all, but Shirin's spirit is utterly depleted...
What happened to you?!
Looking at Xilin's exhausted face, Ning Feng and Jiang Wan were both a little nervous, wondering what special situation she had encountered.
"Shirin, what exactly... uh, what happened at headquarters?"
When the two asked her questions cautiously, Xilin didn't answer at first. Instead, she buried her face in the cushions on the sofa.
Um?
Lying face down on the sofa, Xilin revealed her pure nature, like a salted fish that had been out of water for a long time, struggling to swim a couple of times.
Her two slender legs twitched, and after struggling to shake off her shoes, she became lifeless.
What's going on?
Seeing Xilin's dejected appearance, Ning Feng's worries silently disappeared, replaced by a restlessness.
Completely exhausted, Shirin, back in her safe haven, didn't notice the change in atmosphere. She buried her face in a cushion and said in a hoarse voice:
"Humans are terrifying..."
people?
What kind of people are scary?
You should explain yourself clearly!
Ning Feng's eyebrows twitched, and he roughly guessed what would happen next. He silently rolled up his sleeves.
After waiting for a long time, Shirin finally uttered the second half of her sentence:
"There are so many people...it's really scary!"
"I'm never going there again, there are so many people, boohoo..."
Faced with the seemingly soulless legendary salted fish, Ning Feng fell silent.
Without a word, he turned to look at Jiang Wan, and then saw the same speechless gaze.
We were so worried about you, and you're telling me nothing's happening right now?
The two nodded silently, then reached out together to grab the salted fish on the sofa.
"Get up!"
The bewildered elf was startled when the two people grabbed it and lifted it up.
"Huh!? What are you doing?"
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this to me?!
Looking into those confused and bewildered pure eyes, Ning Feng and Jiang Wan felt that what they were doing might not be quite right.
But will they admit their mistakes?
Or should we put Shirin down and tell her "you can continue sleeping"?
No, that won't work.
They exchanged glances, thought carefully for a moment, and then said in unison:
"Get up and eat!"
!
!
For some reason, Shirin suddenly recalled a long-forgotten memory.
Overwhelmed by long-held fears, Shirin, before she could even grasp the situation, instinctively and weakly replied:
"Okay, okay..."
...
...
Click, click.
"You guys, well, you've really gone too far, well..."
Tied up to the dining table, Shirin, now fully conscious, complained as she viciously stuffed a bag of snacks into her mouth.
"I finally made it home, how can you treat me like this?"
That's absolutely inhumane!
Even though I am an elf and not a human, you can't treat me like this!
I'm telling you, you're treating me unfairly!
The man and woman who had just committed the crime ignored the victim's complaints and continued to clean up the table in an orderly manner.
The female prisoner was somewhat kind-hearted; after the victim finished one bag, she thoughtfully handed her a new one.
"No! I won't eat it!"
You're ganging up on me!
Even if I, Xilin, starve to death!
Even if I jump off a cliff, I won't eat a single bite of your food!
“Elves have dignity and will not be treated with contempt… Hmm!”
The elf's spirited resistance lasted less than thirty seconds before it was crushed by the feeding, and it involuntarily began to chew.
Snap snap snap snap...
It smells so good!
Seeing Xilin's happy expression, Ning Feng couldn't help but add in his mind:
"Don't eat too many snacks, we still have to eat dinner later."
Click...
With the snack broken in her mouth, Shirin stared blankly at her lover who had betrayed her once again.
Instead of comforting me at this time, you say this...
Where did you come from, you demon?!
Oh, you really are.
But do you even have a personality like this?!
?
Smiling, Ning Feng gently stroked Xilin's hair and shrugged at the speechless Jiang Wan.
Feel sorry.
There's really no other way.
I just made the same mistake that every unscrupulous old man makes.
Shirin's pose was just too perfect; it would be a shame not to be a little unethical.
