Wonderful Pet Shop

"I don't like it!" Bai Hu resolutely refused.

"Why don't you like it?" Xuan Heng was full of grievances, "How cute! Just like yours~ Hey, Xiaobai?"

"Tell you I don't like that name! Give it a new one."

"Other people are kind enough to give you a name, but you will pick and choose, huh? Then you should choose a name for yourself."

"If I know how to name it, I need you!"

Hearing the words, Xuan Heng made a long-tailed "Yeah" and said with a smile, "So, you really trust me?"

Bai Hu turned his face away awkwardly, "Although...you say you are a bad person, I don't think you...are a bad person. You could kill me easily but you didn't kill me. Every time you come, you just stand here for a while , Take a look at the scenery, and didn't do... other things that are outrageous. Although you are always teasing me, I know that you are actually teaching me how to fight..."

"Fight?" Xuan Heng laughed out loud as if he had heard something extremely funny.Although there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, the words he said sent chills down his spine, "I'm teaching you—how to kill people."

Baihu widened his eyes in surprise.

"If you don't kill you, you're not a bad person? Xiaobai, you are so cute. How do you know that I don't kill you, it's not because of other more outrageous things?"

When Xuan Heng said this, there was not much expression on his face, he was not serious, even soft, and his tone of voice was smiling as usual, which made people feel like spring breeze.But if you look closely, his eyes are cold.

That's why it's all the more frightening.

The boy subconsciously staggered a step back, the originally round and large black pupils in the ice blue pupils shrunk into dots and flickered extremely fast.It was as if the man in front of him had turned into a cold-blooded monster he didn't know in an instant.Even though he was still surrounded by the scorching hot air of midsummer, the terrifying and indescribable aura emanating from the man was like an ice pick, nailing the young man in place, unable to move even a bit.

However, after a while, those cold, pitch-black eyes suddenly brightened again, becoming as bright and clean as before, a smile rose from the man's eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed an obvious curvature.That smile seemed to have broken through the cage and could no longer hold back—"Fu." Xuan Heng chuckled lightly.

That voice, that smile, is still touching.

It seemed that the bloodthirsty eyes in that scene just now were just Baihu's illusion.

"Scared you?" Xuan Heng asked with a smile.

He still looks the same, even though he is dressed in black clothes, with black hair, and his face is almost morbidly white, but standing there, he is full of spring breeze.

The boy came back to his senses, "You...you... are really bad!"

Like a girl coquettish.

Xuan Heng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.Laughing more and more happily, laughing to the point of tears.Tired of laughing, he simply grabbed the hem of his shirt and sat on the floor.Seeing this, Baihu also sat down beside him, less than an arm's length away.

"Sure enough, you're still young." He smiled, raised his arm and shamelessly pinched Baihu's ear, "Huh? Xiaobai?"

Baihu dodged like the plague, stared at Xuanheng and said, "Don't call 'Xiaobai Xiaobai'! Tell you I don't like it."

Xuanheng smiled to himself for a while, finally held back, and asked, "'Xiaobai' is pretty good, why don't you like it?"

Bai Hu frowned and pouted for a while, but couldn't say one, two, three. "After all...compared with your name, it doesn't feel like a name, but like a little flower, grass, butterfly or something..."

"If that's the case, I'll name you 'Little Tiger'~" Xuan Heng laughed.

Bai Hu turned his head and stared at him viciously, "If you dare to call me 'Little Tiger', I will break up with you!"

Xuan Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise, stunned for a moment, and a soft smile gradually appeared on his face, "Break off friendship? Are you saying that there is friendship between us?"

"do not have it?"

"Tell me, what kind of friendship?"

Baihu raised his head and recalled the word the old gibbon told him... what was it called?

"Friends of life and death?" Bai Hu turned to look at Xuan Heng.

"...A friend of life and death?"

"Well, every time I see you, I fight to the death. Isn't this a friendship between life and death?" Bai Hu was very serious.

Xuan Heng wrapped his lower lip slightly and tightened his facial lines, he endured and endured so much that he didn't smile.

Sudden!Without warning, Xuan Heng used his hand to make a knife and compared it to the boy's throat!That sharp and dangerous aura made Baihu froze on the spot, not daring to dodge for a moment.Although he knew that Xuan Heng would not hurt him, but the murderous aura on this man seemed to be soaked in the bone marrow, which made Bai Hu dare not treat him jokingly all the time.He heard his own tense voice, "What, what are you doing?"

Xuanheng wiped Baihu's throat with a gesture of closing his hand, and said with a smile, "Now we are 'friends who cut the neck'."

Bai Hu looked at Xuan Heng and blinked, half understanding.

Xuan Heng didn't explain either, just smiled and turned his head to look at the clear stream that was quietly flowing in front of him.

"This place is really... very haunting," he said.

Bai Hu watched Xuan Heng put his hands behind his back, tilted his upper body slightly, raised his head wantonly, and stretched his legs wantonly.He is smiling, the corners of his mouth are smiling, and the corners of his eyes are also smiling.He smiled so freely, as if he had a magical power, Bai Hu couldn't help but want to laugh along with him.

"You look so pretty when you smile," the boy said.

Xuan Heng turned his head and looked at the boy with a slight smile.

Baihu felt a little flustered for no reason.He heard his own heartbeat like thunder.He was very nervous, wondering if Xuan Heng had heard such a loud voice.Although he couldn't explain why, but... he didn't want Xuan Heng to know.

Anyway, with his temperament, he will definitely make fun of himself.

"Look...why are you looking at me like that?" Although the barbaric tone of "If you dare to look at me, I will kill you!" was still there, but the excessive nervousness caused a broken sound in a short sentence. Somewhat out of tune.

Ah, is it too hot?face is so hot...

What the hell is this guy looking at?Don't read it!I can't breathe...

Trying to avoid his sight.But it was such an exhilarating thing to meet his gaze and look into his dark, cage-like pupils.

How can you avoid it.

"You look good even if you don't smile." Xuan Heng still smiled like that.

Probably because he is always smiling, or because he teases the white tiger too much, so whether it is sincere or not, it still sounds a bit frivolous.Bai Hu took a deep breath and wanted to refute something, but before he could find the right words, the smile on the man's face faded a bit.

But his gaze was softer, more serious, and deeper, like thousands of flexible filaments, seeping into the boy's incredibly beautiful ice-blue pupils, and slowly crawling all over his limbs. Skeleton, teasing every slender and sensitive nerve of his, made him throbbing and heartbeat.

The young man stared blankly at the man stretching out an arm to him, and stayed a palm away from his face for a moment, as if asking for his attitude.But the boy just stared at that hand in a state of bewilderment, so the hand slowly stretched a little closer, and gently touched the boy's cheek.

The delicate touch and scalding temperature made the four slender fingers with well-defined knuckles tremble slightly as if they couldn't restrain themselves.

But the one who reacted more violently was the boy whose cheek was touched.Like a frightened deer, he avoided the warm palm that was covering him.

But he only escaped by a tiny bit, and sat there stiffly, with his eyes downcast and motionless.

That bewildered but exceptionally well-behaved appearance made people look at it, and felt a little distressed for no reason.

Xuan Heng covered the palm lightly again, gently scraping the boy's cheek with his thumb.The boy's silver eyelashes are like the wings of a frightened butterfly.But the butterfly will fly away, but the boy is still there.

"You look cute when you blush."

The man's voice was very low and deep, like an invisible and irresistible hand, plucking heavily at the tense heartstrings of the young man.

My heart beats so fast, my face is so hot, I can't breathe... I want to breathe like a fish with a big mouth...

His chest seemed to be blocked by something, and it seemed that something was about to come out.

My mind was in a mess... The man's voice seemed to echo thousands of times, repeating and even roaring in my ears.

I don't know if it's because he can't breathe, but Bai Hu feels that the gravel in front of him looks a little blurry.

Xuan Heng looked at the blue crystal pupil with a layer of water vapor under the trembling silver-white eyelashes, and couldn't help exerting force with his fingertips.

The young man looked up at him suddenly, his translucent crystal pupils were still full of ignorance, but his body had already obediently leaned over.

Approach slowly.

a little closer.

When you get close to the other person's face, the face becomes blurred, and when you get closer, the scorching breath starts to entangle...

"sorry."

When he was close at hand, the hand covering the boy's face fell on the boy's thin shoulders, pushing the boy back to the original place with a little force.

Xuan Heng withdrew his hands, turned around, raised his lowered eyes to look at the creek in front of him.Turning a blind eye to the puzzled teenager beside him.

The boy's palms on his knees unconsciously repeatedly grabbed the cloth and put it down again...

After a while, the boy asked, "Just now, what did you want to do?"

"Nothing." Xuan Heng said.

Speechless.

Only the wind is rustling and the water is murmuring.

"Bai Fengcong." Xuan Heng said suddenly.

"Ah? What?" The boy was taken aback.

"Your name. Yun Cong Long, Feng Cong Tiger, since you are a white tiger, you might as well be called 'Bai Feng Cong'. What do you think?" Xuan Heng still only looked at the stream and not him.

"Oh." The boy replied.

Suddenly, I felt that it didn't matter what it was called.

As long as it is called by him, everything is fine.

In fact, think about it... when he called himself "Xiaobai", it was more...

Even……

Before the boy could think of anything else, the man had already stood up and shook his clothes, "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned and left, still refusing to look at the boy again.

Bai Feng stood up hurriedly, followed Xuan Heng's back and asked, "When will you come next time? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?...Will you keep me waiting for a long time?"

Xuan Heng paused.The boy couldn't help but also stopped.

"I won't come again." Xuanheng said.
