stubborn miss

Near midnight, piercing screams came from the master bedroom on the third floor.

Wu Shaoyan hurried over in his pajamas.Pushing open the door, Lu Yixuan was crying fiercely on Sergio's chest.

"Having a nightmare again?" Wu Shaoyan asked Sergio with his mouth.

The big Italian bear nodded helplessly.

Wu Shaoyan walked over, "It's okay, Xuanxuan, those are just dreams."

Lu Yixuan turned around and threw herself into his arms, "I'm afraid, I'm so scared." The girl looked up at him, her eyes clouded with tears, "Tell me, will I become a monster?"

Wu Shaoyan hugged Lu Yixuan distressedly, "No, you will never become a monster."

The girl buried herself in his arms again, "I can't sleep, can you go somewhere with me?"

It was late at night, and most people in the castle were asleep.The girl pulled him to the entrance of the cellar.

"Sergio never goes down with me, I haven't seen Grandpa for a long time."

Wu Shaoyan looked at Sergio who was following them, "Why don't you go down?"

"He's scared!" Lu Yixuan accused Sergio.

"...Who said I'm afraid? I...I'll help you watch the wind..." Sergio's trembling ending voice disappeared into the wind.

The girl and Wu Shaoyan looked at each other and smiled, Lu Yixuan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm just scared, a kitten can scare him."

It has been two months since he came to the castle, and he is gradually getting used to the life here. However, there is often a lot of noise from the underground, but other people seem to be undisturbed at all.Wu Shaoyan was also a little curious, what was there in the cellar that could scare Sergio's big bear like that.

Uh……

"Xuanxuan... I remember... You said it was a kitten, right..." Wu Shaoyan squatted down and asked the girl after seeing the "kitten".The voice was kept extremely low, for fear of waking up the huge monster in front of him.He suddenly understood the source of the usual noise, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Yeah, it was only this light when I left." Lu Yixuan compared with her hands.That is indeed the normal size of a kitten.

"...How long have you been away?" Is it too late to say that you want to slip away now?What to do, he kind of wanted to go up and look out with Sergio.

"Hmm... two years?" The girl tilted her head and thought for a while.

"You're kidding me, can you grow so big in two years?" Wu Shaoyan pointed at the huge monster in front of him.

The cellar was very large, with dim yellow wall lamps on both sides of the walls.An animal that looked like a panther was dozing in front of them, but was clearly much larger.The cellar is about three meters high, and the "black panther" is one meter high when lying down.If it stood up...well, it wouldn't eat them both in one bite...

When Wu Shaoyan spoke, he lost control of his volume, and the monster wiped its face with its paws, as if it was about to wake up.

It moved and made a sound like metal touching.Wu Shaoyan looked under the dim light, only to find that there was a huge collar tied around the neck of the monster, and the other end of the collar was firmly hung on the wall.

I feel a little relieved.

Wu Shaoyan thought so in his heart.

"Who's there?" A voice came from the iron gate behind the monster.

"Grandpa!" Lu Yixuan cheered and ran over.He tried to pull but couldn't hold the girl.Sensing the sound of footsteps, the monster stood up, and when it was about to roar, it was restrained by the man in the wheelchair who was hugged by the girl. "Finks, sit down!"

Uh... a second later, he would probably run up.No, his legs are already weak, and his survival instinct will make him climb up even if he climbs.

Although the monster obeyed the order, it lay back on its stomach again, its two bowl-sized eyes were fixed on him, its paws were firmly on the ground, as if it would pounce on it at any moment.

Wu Shaoyan was on guard and accelerated around the monster.

There was an Asian man with all white hair in the wheelchair, which somehow made him feel kind.

The old man pulled Lu Yixuan into his arms, "Let me see, she has grown a lot taller! Is it fun outside?"

Lu Yixuan nodded heavily, "Well, it's fun! Grandpa, let me tell you..." When the grandpa and grandson were talking, he was staring at the monster behind him defensively, afraid that it would pounce on him, so that the old man called him A few times, I didn't hear it.

"Are you Wu Shaoyan?" The white-haired old man asked him, even though he was sitting on a chair, the old man still looked energetic, and he pinched Lu Yixuan's cheek affectionately.

"Yes... Excuse me, are you..." Wu Shaoyan rubbed his head, a little unclear about the situation.

The old man walked into the iron gate with his wheelchair, and Lu Yixuan hurriedly dragged Wu Shaoyan to follow.Inside the iron gate is a small study room,

On the desk, there are three stacks of books stacked high, not to mention the books in the bookcase next to it.The old man flipped through the pile of books and asked him, "Zhusheng...ah no, is Qingsheng okay?"

The old man dug out a photo frame from the pile of books and handed it to Wu Shaoyan.

That's... a photo in Qingsheng's wallet.

"I... am actually an anonymous person."

One day after getting acquainted with Wu Shaoyan, Qing Sheng squatted on the ground next to the van, biting the dog's tail grass, and explained half of the truth to him.

"They adopted me because I resemble Zhusheng. Since I was a child, my mother was very strict with me. Every time I made a mistake, she would say 'Zhusheng wouldn't do that'. I was naive and thought that Mom is really doing it for me...hehe..." Qing Sheng's voice was bitter, "I found out later that mom was just looking at Zhusheng through me...they didn't even have a name that really belonged to me. Willing to give."

"It was your brother who brought you here." Wu Shaoyan felt that he should at least tell Qing Sheng about it.However, Lu Zhansheng clearly knew what kind of company this was, so why did he arrange Qingsheng here?

"He's not my brother...it doesn't matter, no matter where I go, they won't let me go completely."

The boy scribbled on the ground with a branch, "To them, I am just the shadow of bamboo fungus."

At that time, he didn't know Qingsheng's real identity, nor did he understand Qingsheng's words. He just thought that Qingsheng, like him, had an unpleasant childhood experience.

"Are you... Qingsheng's father?" Wu Shaoyan looked at the young man wearing glasses in the photo and asked the old man.

After hearing what he said, the old man didn't immediately nod his head to admit, "Qing Sheng didn't tell you...that's right, it's impossible for him to tell people about this kind of thing."

The old man took the photo he returned and kept stroking it with his hands, "If you have a chance to see Qing Sheng again in the future, remember to tell him, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have created him to make him suffer gone."

"……manufacture?"

The old man looked at him, "I heard that you and... Nannan are very close? That child is called Nannan!"

Lu Yixuan and Wu Shaoyan who heard her name both lowered their heads sadly. The old man patted Lu Yixuan on the back to comfort the girl, and then told him the complete truth, "Actually, Qing Sheng is considered to be her 'senior'."

Wu Shaoyan, who realized what this meant, had an uproar in his heart, which did not subside for a long time.

"So... that's the reason why you moved on? Because Mia...is the daughter?" Lin Zhongli's next sentence, after guessing the truth, smacked of jealousy.

Empathy?He remembered that Lin Zhongli also said this word last night.

"Me, Hexuan... No, He Mia?" While Wu Shaoyan was still thinking about how to fool Lin Zhongli's guess, the man's next sentence turned into an accusation against him.

Wu Shaoyan's mind suddenly opened.Lin Zhongli found out the reason for this place, what he said about empathy, and the girl who deliberately teased him that night... everything should be inseparable from Lu Yixuan.

"What's all this? How could I be with her..." Wu Shaoyan remembered the photos of Lin Zhongli holding a child in his mobile phone, and looked at Lin Zhongli with his hips crossed, "You are the one, aren't you all married?" He didn't realize that there was also a strong jealousy in the words.

Looking at Wu Shaoyan's angry Lin Zhongli, he laughed.

"……why are you laughing?"

The man kissed him on the face, "Xiaoyan, you're jealous." Lin Zhongli's tone was very affirmative.

"Who..." He just wanted to deny subconsciously, but the man sealed his mouth with his fingers.

The man's mouth grinned almost to the ear, "Negation is useless, it's all on the face!"

Wu Shaoyan turned his face away and gave a "cut".

"You haven't answered me yet, who won?" Lin Zhongli straightened his face, "I guessed right?"

He was careless.I didn't expect Lin Zhongli to guess the truth so quickly.

"No! Let's go!"

"Tsk tsk..." Lin Zhongli shook his head, "Xiaoyan, why don't you learn your lesson? Do you know that when you say something flustered, the expression on your face is very unnatural?"

Wu Shaoyan pursed his lips tightly, damn it, he didn't want Lin Zhongli to get involved.

"It's too late." Lin Zhongli saw through his thoughts, "If you are here, I will definitely come."

"I won, didn't I!" The man smiled like a big child, "I would like to accept the bet!"

"Hmm..." Don't want to admit it, Wu Shaoyan is sad that his facial expression will betray himself.

"Then, you have to tell me everything you know about the Salvation Society. Including..." Lin Zhongli stomped his feet, "What is under this old castle?"

"Um……"

He said how could there be such an easy-to-deceive person in the world, who was simply more... Forget it, he was the only one who was fooled from the beginning to the end. "I really miss Dr. Fox..."

What's the point of acting so good, he thought he might be able to make good friends with that lovely doctor!

"What do you want him to do? Isn't it enough for you to have me?"

Lin Zhongli narrowed his eyes angrily, "If you don't tell me, then I'll go and check what the Salvation Society has put in the ground."

Wu Shaoyan smiled at Lin Zhongli. It was a smile when dealing with guests. Xuanxuan trained for a long time before teaching him how to mobilize the facial muscles to smile.

Lin Zhongli probably has never seen his expression like this... In other words, this is something that can deceive Lin Zhongli.

"Ali." Wu Shaoyan looked at Lin Zhongli with a smile.

"Ah?" Success!The man stared at him blankly, as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say.

"Let's continue playing with something else?" Wu Shaoyan imitated the man, whispering in the man's ear, "Playing... what is better?"

After a heavy blow, the man fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the man's inattention, Wu Shaoyan slammed the man's head against the wall... Ah... My heart still hurts, but I really can't think of any other way besides this trick.

In the man's pocket were the keys to the handcuffs and his mobile phone. After confirming that the man had just passed out, Wu Shaoyan turned on the mobile phone first.

He wanted to find someone who could keep it secret to send the man out of the castle before making other arrangements.

However, when he went out, he had to settle the score with Lu Yixuan first.How could it have pulled Lin Zhongli into this extremely dangerous place!
