animal ears

? The cold war between Norman and Ley is still going on, and even has a tendency to continue to heat up.

Although Cole didn't understand what the two were angry about, but he somehow knew that it was related to him, so he was careful not to offend them, especially Norman. Beard stared, so he had to get closer to Palanch—Norman was still angry, but he didn't react that much this way.

It's almost like fear of being robbed of a beloved toy.

In addition to getting mad, Norman was inseparable from him more often.

like now.

Sighing, Cole looked at Norman who was holding his little finger tightly, and asked puzzledly, "Norman, don't you like Ley?"

"Who would like that guy." With a cold snort, Norman squatted on the ground and picked up the fallen fruit for Cole.

Cole smiled helplessly, then looked at the two fruits that Norman handed to him, took one, lowered his head and said, "But, I like Ley."

The voice was very soft, but Norman heard it, his hand trembled, and he clenched the fruit left in his hand.

"I know." After a long time, Norman said in a low voice, "But you can only be mine." After speaking, Norman took another fruit from Cole's hand.

"Norman."

"You are mine, I never doubted."

Cole raised his eyes, met his, and then looked at the fruit that Norman took away, and asked blankly, "Why."

With a deep smile, Norman said, "Why are you so obsessed with you?"

Nodding, Cole looked at Norman without saying a word.

In an instant, with a smile on his face, Norman looked at Cole quietly, and said, "I don't know why, maybe it was that day, when I saw you cry for the first time, your tears, your despair and helplessness The look in your eyes... makes me unable to look away, and over time, you become a part of my life, a part of my life, and then, a part of me, and I also become yours." A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth , "But you probably don't remember."

The pale memory left only the sad smile in front of my eyes.

He wanted to say sorry, but Norman covered his mouth one step ahead. Norman shook his head and said, "Don't say sorry, I will wait."

stunned.

"I will wait for as long as I want." As he said, Norman hugged Cole tightly. He closed his eyes and said, "I will wait for you to think of me. I will wait for as long as you can't remember It doesn't matter, as long as I can stay by your side, I am willing to do anything, I can no longer be self-willed, and I can no longer get angry indiscriminately, so, so..." My shoulders trembled slightly, "So, don't say words to reject me."

"Norman..."

Facing the voice that was already pleading, Cole couldn't say a word.

He couldn't bear to hurt Norman. Although he had done so many hurtful things to himself, Cole was very clear about his feelings. Now he probably just sympathized with Norman.But...seeing Norman like this, I felt a dull pain somewhere in my heart.

Can't speak.

He couldn't say anything.

Refuse.

Recalling yesterday evening, when Norman and Ley had both left, Cole asked Palanch how to resolve the current stalemate between the two.

"Their problem lies with you." Palanch said seriously.

"It's about me?"

"Cole, who do you really like?"

The blunt question made Cole stunned, speechless.

who do you like...

The obvious answer.

Cole confirmed that he liked Ley, but he had an inseparable feeling for Norman.

Knowing Cole's mood, Palanch shook his head and said, "Although I may not be qualified to say that, you have to choose one of them and give up the other."

After a long time, Cole lowered his head, bit his lips and said, "...I don't know."

He resented his hesitation, but he couldn't let him abandon Ley for Norman, and he couldn't do the same to throw Norman for Ley.

He liked Ley, but leaving Norman, Norman...would go crazy.

"Then follow your heart." Palanch said softly.

"My own heart." Cole lowered his head, covered his heart with his hands, and smiled bitterly.

Of course he knew where his heart was, but the other party's heart was far away from him, so far that he could hardly touch it.

What kind of feelings does he have for himself?

Finally, tonight, Cole made up his mind and asked.

"Well, Ley, do you like me?"

Ley turned back slowly, looked at Cole with those usual golden pupils, raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Of course I like you, I like you very much, but..." The turning point extinguished the joy, All that was left was trembling expectations and the fingers that Ley carefully touched. They slid across his brows, then to his cheeks, and finally stayed on his chin. Ley closed his eyes and said lightly, "Please don't Like me, not at all."

The tone was gentle and concerned, but there was no sadness in his eyes.

Cole felt even more uncomfortable.

"Why." My mind went blank, but I still asked.

All he got back was a complicated wry smile, Ley slowly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm sorry."

Then turn around.Want to catch up, but he only left a back.

Don't even give yourself a reason to catch up.

wry smile.

Tingling.

Chilled back.

Even the fingers are shaking.

However, he was laughing, perhaps because he was afraid that others would see that he was sad, so he forced himself to laugh, no matter how ugly it was, at least it was a smile.

This is rejected.

When he went back, Cole couldn’t help thinking, maybe it was his own self-indulgence, but Ley was too gentle to reject him in such a cruel and beautiful way. Just looking at Ley’s back, he didn’t know why he was so sad sad.

Why are you sorry?

The one who should say sorry should be myself.

Suddenly stopped, Cole raised his head in a daze, his eyes were unfocused, for a long time, he stood in the woods, the sky was entangled by intertwined branches without a single gap, no, maybe there was, but he couldn’t see it, and he couldn’t see it. I don't want to see it anymore.

Then Norman came around.

Smiling as usual, he lied that he was out to pick up fruit, but unexpectedly everything just now was seen by Norman who was following him.

"Your fruit, others don't want it, I want it." Norman grabbed the fruit and said seriously.

"I'm sorry, Norman, I..." Understanding what he meant, Cole shook his head.

"Your fruit, your body, your heart, your wounds, your pain...all of them are mine, all, all, all—!" Interrupting Cole in one breath, Norman He hugged Cole who was about to leave from behind, "I want it all!"

The sound of gasping, as if about to die.

Being hugged tightly in his arms, Cole understood what Norman meant to comfort him. However, Cole didn't want to agree to Norman because of sympathy or other reasons. This was deceiving him and irresponsible to himself.

But tears flowed down.

In the distance, the golden pupils that have been staring closely at this side also showed a gloomy color, but he just stayed quietly in the distance, looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, but did not plan to take half a step forward , he kept staring at Cole, looking at the tears he shed with a distressed expression, then lowered his head, turned around suddenly, and disappeared into the shadow of the trees.

So decisive.

On the way back, Cole was carefully led by Norman with his little finger.

"When you like me a little more, I'll hold you by one more finger," Norman said, "When I can hold your hand completely, I'll never let you go."

Although the last sentence was capricious, the face of the speaker turned red, like the rays of light in the sky.

A promise like a child.

Couldn't help but smile, Cole let him lead him, but didn't even refuse.

When they went back, Palanch and Ley were both there. Palanch noticed Norman's move and immediately went up to snatch Cole away, and then glared at Norman aggressively. Norman was not to be outdone, and stared back. Smiling, but couldn't help glancing at Ley, who was on the side as if nothing happened. He also smiled and looked at himself, neither far nor near, tepid, separated from himself by an ambiguous and slight distance , His golden pupils reflected his own appearance.

My heart hurts.

Just like this, the nose is sore, and the back is also cold. In order to change his mood, Cole turned his head, and then said to the two people who were in confrontation: "Stop making trouble, we are getting closer and closer to the southern tribes." , so be careful."

The two stopped their hands, and one of them sat beside Cole, each exhaling unhappily.

Then Cole looked at Ley, calmed down, exhaled lightly, and asked, "Ley, you have been to the southern tribes, please tell me about the situation there."

With a low eyebrow and a smile, Ley said, "Actually, I haven't been too close to it, because there is a big river from the central part to the south. After crossing the river, it is the territory of the southern tribe. It is heavily guarded, and I only walked around it once." He touched his chin and thought for a while, then he continued, "However, I have heard that the leader of the southern tribe is a very difficult guy. He just entered the southern tribe not long ago, and then quickly seized the position of patriarch."

"Did you find out his name?" Cole asked.

"Not for the time being, what happened to them is like an unknown secret." Shaking his head, Ley said.

But at this time, Palanch answered, and said, "But they used the poison of the snow wolf clan..." As if thinking about it, Palanch kept silent.

"Yes." Ley lowered his eyes lightly.

"Poison...what's the matter?" Cole was a little concerned, so he asked.

Looking back at Cole, Palanch put away his silence. He sighed slightly, and then said: "I have seen this kind of poison when I was a child. It was in my previous tribe, so I have a slight impression. But this kind of medicine is not every day. I have it personally, because I don't know what the formula is, so the only remaining medicines are handed down, and I dare not use it lightly, because it is too dangerous, and it is only used as a weapon for the tribe's defense. My father only had a vial."

Cole immediately fell into deep thought and said, "Does anyone know how to make this medicine?"

"I don't know about it." Palanch said, "I left there since I was a child, and what happened after that... But if the northern tribes really colluded, then the medicine... must come from the Snow Wolf Clan." Youyou, Palanch Stand up suddenly.

Cole was surprised, looked at Palanch, and asked in puzzlement, "Snow wolves?"

"Ah." Palanch slowly closed his eyes, "My former hometown."

"It seems that it is necessary to visit the Snow Wolf Clan." Ley answered.

Norman frowned, and he interjected, "Don't you want to go to the southern tribes? We're almost here."

After thinking for a while, Cole raised his head and said, "Let's go to the Snow Wolf Clan."

"Eh?!" Norman yelled in disbelief, blinking at Cole, "Why? We're almost at the southern tribe!"

Turning his head, looking directly at Norman's puzzled expression, Cole said seriously: "Now is not the time."

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the other two people and nodded. Cole said: "We still don't know much about the southern tribes, especially they still have that kind of horrible living dead. It's okay to go over like this so rashly. , in case there are too many, we alone can't deal with it at all, I think everyone should first investigate the situation of the northern tribes, and by the way, it is more practical to understand the problem of the snow wolf tribe's poison." Then he looked at Palanch and got tacit approval , Cole continued, "What's more, to understand their movements, we must also let the beast ear tribe be on guard."

Since the last time he heard about the tragic experience of the Beast Ears being captured by foreigners, Cole made up his mind to do something to protect his village.

After all, it's hard to have a home, with relatives, friends, and people you want to protect.

Thinking of this, Cole looked at the three people in front of him.

"How?" Cole asked.

"Going." Palanch nodded.

Ley smiled, nodded, and said, "I don't want you to get hurt, so let's go together."

"I want to be with you!" After carefully confirming Cole's meaning, Norman stuck to the back of Cole's neck, "I will go wherever you go."

Hearing this, Cole patted the hand clasped on his shoulder lightly, then smiled and said to the three, "Thank you."?
