Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Two days before Little John came to the two of them, both of them were still worried that they would not be able to take good care of the child.Neither of them even knew how to change a diaper!But the child's performance surprised them.According to his parents, John is only six months old, but he can already crawl very neatly. He can't speak, but he can already understand many meanings.For example, don't touch the fire, don't climb towards the cave behind, Zhou Lingke told Xia En once, and he obediently obeyed.Even when he wanted to hum and shush, little John would climb out of the cave by himself, and then climb back.

The first time this happened, the two adults were scared to death, and later found the sleeping little flesh next to the skeleton orangutan's big toe.

"Are all children in this world like this?" Zhou Lingke asked at night, he and Xia En huddled together, and Little John slept next to their heads, in a "nest" wrapped in soft clothes.His nurse dog Cindy lay next to John on the fire side, watching over him.

"I don't know, that's why this little guy is alive and kicking until now..."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Lingke noticed that he should have something to say.

"If that's the case, maybe we'll be fine with him."

"Huh?" Zhou Lingke was taken aback. He knew Xia En, just like Xia En knew him. He always knew how much Xia En kept a respectful distance from the family relationship between father and son.The fire light was a bit dim, but he could still see Xia En's face clearly. He saw Xia En's frowning brows, "Don't force yourself." Zhou Lingke moved a bit, and raised his hand to press Xia En's eyebrows.

"No..." Xia En was more kind, but in the end he could only close his eyes helplessly, and let Zhou Lingke come up to him. After stroking him lightly with his fingers, he pressed another kiss on the center of his brow, "The child is still very happy." OK."

"It's really good, but it's not necessary." Zhou Lingke kissed Xia En again, "We're taking him in temporarily, not for adoption, or anything else, just to help, he's just a passerby, wait until spring comes He will go back to his parents and we will go away."

"What if his parents don't come back?"

"Then we will find a family for him to adopt in Mangtan, but in our family, there will always be only two permanent residents, you and me." Some people always say that people should look forward, and the pain of the past It will be alright, time will heal all wounds.But Zhou Lingke knew that those people would say that only because they didn't know what it meant to be "deeply hurt".For example, Xia En, his father is always a taboo to him, and he would be willing to let Zhou Lingke approach his life. They established a family that is not based on some kind of certificate, because of their great courage.

Child, the baby stage is fine, because a baby is like a small animal, unable to speak or communicate, the baby's world only has to eat and sleep, plus one crawling around at most.But as he grows up, he can run, jump, call his father, and ask a lot of why, which will bring more and more pressure to Shane, not the ordinary pressure of a father watching his son grow up. , but... a kind of self-blame and self-question.The seemingly strong man is actually not that strong, he can't stand this.Looking at it now, I know that Zhou Lingke's understanding of Xia En is not wrong, this man has already started to get nervous, even panicked.

"Feel sorry……"

"No, I should say thank you, but you have given up a lot for me, don't give in to me anymore, it will spoil me. Although I have been spoiled." Zhou Lingke deliberately used obvious complacency The tone said.

Xia En leaned over, buried his head in Zhou Lingke's chest, and said on his chest, "It's okay if it's worse..."

That night, when it was the hottest time in the cave, it snowed outside, and the snowflakes almost knocked off most of the remaining leaves on the trees, and buried those dwarf plants that were still showing their green color tenaciously under the snow layer .

"It's snowing..." In the morning, Xia En woke up late, and when the smell of hot soup began to permeate the cave, he lazily opened his eyes, and he still didn't seem to want to get up.

"Well, so you can rest today. However, you still have to get up, brush your teeth and wash your face."

"No... I'll sleep again." Xia En muttered in a low voice, closed his eyes again, and turned over, lying face down with the blanket rolled up.

"Woo!" But Little John crawled over, making a cry that belonged to a baby, while attacking Shane's head. Perhaps in his eyes, Shane's appearance was very similar to one of his parents.At first, Zhou Lingke was a little worried that John would pick Xia En's scales. The baby looks small, but his small fist and feet are still very powerful when he swings it. Something hurts.

But John didn't do that, he just lay on Shane's body and started kissing him, the kind of kiss that drool...

"Don't! Don't! Don't..." Sean finally lost to John's harassing attack, turned around and sat up, dragged John over and let him sit on his lap.His gloved hands were rough, but John was delighted by the touch and smiled even more. "Carefree little one."

"Actually, there is one more thing. When I meet James, I can ask them." Zhou Lingke also leaned over and touched Xia En's gloves.

"Ok?"

"James can change from a mussel to a very human-like state. I should ask him whether it is his own special ability or whether subhumans can do that." This question has actually been entangled with Zhou Lingke for a while. He sees When James "transformed", I wanted to ask directly, but hesitated.

Because it's like... your lover's face is burned, and you say you don't care, but buy him concealer the next day, which makes you seem more concerned and hypocritical.But he swears to everything that can prove Zhou Lingke's sincerity, he really doesn't care.

Xia En was stunned for a moment, Zhou Lingke raised his heart because of his expression, and before that, his palms were already full of sweat.

"Indeed!" Fortunately, Xia En was very happy at the next moment, "If there is something that makes me human...I miss your body temperature very much."

"Hey? Can't you feel my body temperature?" Zhou Lingke was relieved, but had another worry.

"I can feel it, but it's always like there's something in between. Don't stare at me, I didn't hide it from you on purpose." Xia En shrugged, "Because I know you will have this expression after I tell you."

"Then what do you say now?"

Sean smiled. He lowered his head and found that John had fallen asleep, so he put the baby back into the "nest". Cindy leaned over and sniffed, and lay down next to the baby, "My body There have been many changes in the present, so I will tell you more, lest you think more. But you have thought of all the things I didn't think of just now, which means that you have returned to normal."

To put it bluntly, Zhou Lingke's worry is that Xia En will think that he pays too much attention to his appearance, and Xia En's worry is that Zhou Lingke will be too careful about the relationship between the two of them.

After thinking clearly that the two people were actually worried about each other, Zhou Lingke also smiled immediately, but at the same time he was relieved, his curiosity that he had endured for a while was ready to move in an instant, and he couldn't control his mouth: "Boss, you ...Why are you so sure that I care about you, not about...uh! When I didn't say anything, I didn't ask anything, I..."

Xia En suddenly came over and kissed him: "It's been so many years, and sometimes you are still reckless like a big kid who just left school."

Zhou Lingke stuck out his tongue: "I am silently saying 'nozuonodie, whymetry' in my heart, and I will try my best to correct it."

"You're not a professional 'service staff', you're just an ordinary man, even if you force yourself, it's impossible for you to not show your flaws for a few months."

"Ah?" Zhou Lingke said he listened, but didn't understand.

"I mean, you can't fool anyone with your performance on the bed. I'm going to brush my teeth!" After finishing what he wanted to say quickly, Xia En stood up and ran out of the cave, only to tremble when he reached the entrance of the cave. Realized that the outside is already a piece of silver.

Xia En hugged him from behind: "Put on, don't catch a cold."

"... What are you wearing? Are you wearing it?" Xia En shook it twice, but did not shake it off.

"Well, real human skin, isn't it warm?"

"Don't be so creepy!"

"Xia En, I'm actually a bit sorry that you have become like this, because I can't leave any marks on you, and I can't grow strawberries."

"Don't worry." Xia En raised his hand to rub his hair, "If there is a way to change back, I will let you... save enough. Let go! I'm going to WC!"

Well, in view of Xia En's tender words, Zhou Lingke can only let him go to WC.

The winter that made the two people on guard and stored a large amount of supplies was unexpectedly relaxing and almost comfortable.They were in the cave, Xia En was learning the language, Zhou Lingke was working hard to practice his mental strength, and when they were tired, they would lie together and talk—talking about the past, the future, and how to cook today's soup.
