[Comprehensive] Piper

Noon the next day.

Standing in front of vongola's castle, the hedgehog realized that he had guessed wrong.

"Honey! Daddy's here—!"

My wife and father waited at the door early in the morning for the arrival of their precious daughter. He rushed up and hugged the hedgehog who had just got off the car into his arms. Several laps.If it wasn't for my wife and mother to get out of the car and snatch the precious daughter back, the hedgehog would have been vomited.

"It's so dizzy..." The hedgehog, whose eyes were full of stars, was stuffed into Ji'an's arms who got off the car last.

My wife and mother directly gave her husband a bear hug, pressed him into her chest and rubbed him well, then waved her hand to Ji An behind her and said: "Come on, my dear Mr. Take a step."

In this way, my wife and father saw their daughter for only three seconds before they were ruthlessly dragged into the castle by my wife and mother.

Ji'an waved a small handkerchief and watched my wife and father who shouted "Ya Butterfly!" was dragged by the collar and disappeared behind the gate of the castle.As for him who was lagging behind, he walked very briskly into the castle with the hedgehog who hadn't realized what happened.

The hedgehog lay in Ji'an's arms, carefully looking inside and outside the castle.

Gola's castle is a circle smaller than Ji'an's castle, and the interior decoration is not as luxurious as Ji'an's five steps a piece of art.In general, it can be regarded as an ordinary castle at the civilian level.Coupled with the poor lighting, standing in the corridor has a weird feeling.However, the furniture in vongola's house looks very old, and they are basically dark colors.

The hedgehog trembled in fear, and after being put down by Ji An, he held his hand tightly and refused to let go. He raised his head and asked, "Gianoni sauce... who are we going to see?"

All the way from the door to the door of a room with purpose, the hedgehog looked at Ji An and said to her: "Of course it is to visit Mr. Timoteo." After speaking, he pushed the door of the room.

"Wow!" Hedgehog opened his mouth impolitely, looking up at the surrounding decorations.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the scene inside the door is like entering the botanical garden. The greenhouse with glass windows, all kinds of flowers, plants and trees, the whole greenhouse is warm with some moisture, which blows away the weirdness before and makes the hedgehog feel very comfortable. .There is a feeling that seems to be back to my childhood, working with my wife and mother in the tropical rainforest, and getting along with the animals there.

And in the greenhouse, you can still hear the chirping of birds. Those little guys with colorful feathers hide behind the leaves, secretly watching the people entering the house, and when they see hedgehogs, they chirp among themselves. They flew down and landed on her body one after another, forming a human-shaped bird frame.These little birds are not afraid of strangers at all, and they rub the hedgehog's cheeks very affectionately, or directly make a nest on her head, and some even peck her dumb hair.

"Haha, it's so itchy." The bird feathers brushing against her neck made the hedgehog feel a little itchy, and she tried her best to avoid it, but she would be scratched again by the bird's feathers.

Hedgehog is used to being liked by animals, but people around her who don't know her characteristics are slightly surprised.

"I'm sorry Oni-chan, if I knew there were birds in the greenhouse, I would have prepared it,... Usually they wouldn't rush up so suddenly." Hedgehog turned his head with difficulty, and smiled apologetically at Ji An, who soon recovered his smiling expression, He continued to explain: "I used to encounter groups of dogs and cats far away. If I prepared a little bit, they would not suddenly rush up and surround me."

The hedgehog would run away before being surrounded every time. This time, she made a mistake. She didn't expect that there were still birds in the greenhouse. Now it turned into a human-shaped bird cage, unable to walk away.

"That, can you let me go first? I'm a little troubled." The hedgehog tried to communicate with the birds.

The birds seemed to understand what the hedgehog meant, and one of the birds with a little green in its feathers flew down and lightly pecked the tip of the hedgehog's nose, and then all the birds that landed on her flew back. On the tree, he stared at her covetously and continued to walk forward.

Ji An helped the hedgehog tidy up the feathers that fell on his body, and then took her to see Mr. Timoteo.

Mr. Timoteo is a very amiable old man. When the hedgehog saw him, he was still watering the flowers with a watering can, and he was still wearing gloves stained with mud. When he found someone coming, he stopped The work in the middle greeted them with a smile to come and see the blooming plants.

The showy look on his face was very similar to that of a kind grandfather next door.If only there weren't so many bodyguards in black suits standing around him.

The hedgehog looked up again at Ji'an, who also had two bodyguards and looked like a prince.The lineup of these two people who go out and stay at home really doesn't look like ordinary people at all.Dad, who are the two people you know?

The hedgehog, who basically guessed right, retracted his gaze silently and acted as a mural.

"It's not too young, and I still take care of the greenhouse by myself." Jian took the watering can very skillfully, and watered the remaining plants that were not watered one by one.

Ji'an said: "Why don't those subordinates you raise come to help you?"

Mr. Timoteo waved his hand, sat on the chair and said: "Hahaha, they are all busy, and I can do it myself, so I still want to do it myself." After he finished speaking with a smile, he happened to see hedgehog.

"Hello, can you tell my grandpa my name?" Mr. Timoteo smiled very gently, making people feel warm all over.

Hedgehog responded with a shy smile, and replied, "Hi, Grandpa, I am..."

"My little hedgehog." Jian rushed to introduce the hedgehog.He stretched out his hand and patted the hedgehog's little head and said with a frightened smile, "How about it, isn't it cute?"

"Hahaha, it's a very cute little guy." Mr. Timoteo laughed, and suddenly his smile disappeared, and he unceremoniously pierced Ji'an and said: "It's obviously the daughter of someone else, so you have the nerve to say it's you." Family, Mr. Jingjie heard it, and came to kill you with a kitchen knife."

"Tsk. I was discovered." Ji'an shrugged indifferently, squatted down and said to the hedgehog: "Little hedgehog, Ernie-chan has something to talk to grandpa, can you go out to play by yourself?"

"Yes." Hedgehog nodded obediently, waved to the people in the greenhouse, and obediently went out to play.

With nothing to do and not knowing where his parents were, the hedgehog could only wander around Mr. Timoteo's house.Probably because of the children, even if the hedgehog accidentally goes to the wrong place, the people in the house will sigh "so cute" after asking her name, and then tell her that she can't enter this way, and point out the other place thoughtfully. A corridor direction where you can play.

In this way, the hedgehog, who was always in the house of Mr. Timoteo, came to a strange corridor.

The windows in this corridor are very bright, but it makes people feel very cold.It seems to be deliberate, a door was built in one third of the long corridor to isolate, and the inside of the door and the outside of the windows were welded and sealed with iron bars, as if to seal something.

The hedgehog stepped into the door curiously, quietly closed the isolation door, and walked slowly to the only door in the corridor, she held the door handle and turned it downwards to open it.

"Squeak." The door made a sound of being in disrepair and needing to be oiled.

The interior was very dark, and the thick curtains blocked the warm sunlight from the outside, but the decoration of the tsar's palace and the golden tones could still be seen clearly.The four-poster bed is hung with cloth curtains, and the warm-looking quilt on the bed is raised.Noticing that someone was in the room, the hedgehog immediately covered his mouth and backed away slowly.

She wanted to slip away quietly before the other party woke up.

"Who allows you to go." A hoarse voice came from the bed with some depression.

The sudden sound frightened the hedgehog so that he froze all over and dared not move any more.Because she was caught on the spot and impolitely entered the room randomly, her face was flushed with embarrassment now.

The person on the bed said in an orderly tone, "Come here."

When he didn't wait for the hedgehog for a long time, he impatiently said again: "Don't make me say it a third time, come here, trash!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The hedgehog struggled for a while with tears in his eyes, and rationally gave up the escape plan.She knew that she had offended a bad-tempered person, so she obediently walked to the side of the bed and stood up, lowered her head, clasped her hands in front of her body, and admitted her mistake with a good attitude.

"Turn on the light." The owner of the room ordered again.

The hedgehog shuddered all over, and quickly rushed to the bed cabinet, groped to find the switch and pulled it down.

The dim room brightened instantly, and the person on the bed complained to the sudden light, "It's too bright!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Hedgehog apologized instinctively, covering the glare of the light with his body, and after he felt comfortable, he slowly withdrew his body and turned his head to look at the person lying on the bed.

On the bed covered by the curtain, lay a young man with short black hair and fierce eyes. He had a pair of scary scarlet pupils, and there were hideous scars on his cheeks that were obviously frostbite.

Hedgehog was stunned, she knew it was rude to keep staring at someone's face, but she couldn't control herself.An instinctive command is being executed in the brain, and that is to never look away.Just like you must never turn your back on a wild beast on the prairie, and never look away from it because you are afraid.

The hedgehog stared straight at the immobile person on the bed, peeked at the empty water glass on the bed cabinet, and asked, "Are... are you thirsty?"

After waiting for a long time, the person on the bed did not reply to Hedgehog, but frowned severely.

Hedgehog was not discouraged, lowered his voice a bit, tried his best to look very friendly, and asked again with concern: "Oni-chan...are you sick?"

There was still no reply, and the person on the bed kept staring at the hedgehog.

Successive failures hit Hedgehog's heart a little bit, but seeing that the other party didn't intend to let her go, she could only bite the bullet and face the difficulties again, "My name is Hedgehog, Hedgehog's Hedgehog."

[The first rule of my wife's hedgehog animal taming rules, try to show your friendly side, let the beast feel that you are not aggressive, and then relax. 】

Hedgehog has always felt that he is just like this, and there is no need to show his friendly side anymore.

"Mr. Gian Carlo took me here, um... for a visit?"

[The second rule of my wife's hedgehog taming rules, let the wild beast know that you are the same kind. 】

Hedgehog obviously felt that when he mentioned Ji'an, the young man on the bed was not as vigilant as before. It feels so much better to poke a hole in your body.

After a long silence, the person on the bed finally spoke: "Did you come with Carlo?"

"Well, Gianoni sauce brought me here."

"You call him Ji'an?" The young man on the bed frowned again, and began to stare at the little girl in front of him without blinking.The hedgehog who looked at it was sweating all over, and then looked away, and the whole person relaxed and ordered: "Come up, turn me over."

"...Huh? Oh." The hedgehog was stunned for a moment, and immediately took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

Turning over the person who was as stable as Mount Tai on the bed, Hedgehog lifted the quilt under the signal of the other party, and was puzzled for a moment when he saw that the person on the bed was obviously made by someone, then under the command of the other party, he helped the person in front of him turn over.

"Scratch the back."

"Oh?!" The hedgehog looked at the back covered by the shirt in front of her in embarrassment. She had helped her father scratch her back and helped her mother scratch her back, but outsiders... this was the first time in her life.

"What are you dawdling about?"

Hearing the other party's obviously impatient voice, he was heartbroken, and his small paws reached into the other party's shirt, and secretly pinched the moderately soft and hard muscles under his hand. Ask: "Is this strength okay? Is this the position?"

"Use a little force."

"Yes!"

The hedgehog leaned on one of its paws, clawing at the opponent's back like a groundhog digging through the soil.After grabbing for a full 5 minutes, she heard the other party's voice of "Okay."

Helping the other person turn over again, the hedgehog wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat cross-legged on the bed, changed a comfortable position for the person who couldn't move at all, and then said: "Oni-chan, it's getting late, I going back."

Before leaving, Hedgehog lay down by the door and asked, "Tomorrow, can I still come and see Oni-chan?"

"Hmph, get out."

The hedgehog didn't care about being slandered at each other, so he closed the door tightly and ran back to the corridor where he played before.After waiting for Ji An to find, go to have dinner together with him.

My wife, father and mother will not leave in a short time, and Ji An seems to be staying with Mr. Timoteo for a period of time because of work. Hedgehog fulfilled the agreement he had unilaterally made with others before, and came secretly again The room that was isolated.

Before entering the door, the hedgehog leaned on the door and whispered, "Oni-chan? Are you asleep?"

"Humph."

Hearing the humming sound, Hedgehog entered the room with the book in his arms, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. She looked at the person who had changed her movements but was still lying on the bed, and said, "Oni-chan is boring alone. Well, I asked Mr. Ji An to borrow a book for me."

"Look, it's a picture book." Like a hedgehog presenting a treasure, he held up the book he brought and displayed it.

Although the person on the bed looked impatient, he didn't intend to drive the hedgehog away.Hedgehog happily spread the book on his lap, opened the first page, crawled to the other party's side and sat down next to him, held up the book and whispered: "A long time ago, a small town was invaded by mice. The chief was at a loss. One day, a man of unknown origin and wearing colorful clothes came to the town..."

"...but in the second year, he appeared again and blew the magic flute...the children were never seen again." Hedgehog finished telling this fairy tale to those who were completely lazy to listen.

"Hmph, boring." The person on the bed obviously looked impatient, but he still accompanied the hedgehog to finish reading the picture book.

Hedgehog estimated the time when he sneaked out, and felt that it was already very late, so he had to say goodbye to the immobile person in the room: "I'm sorry Oni-chan, I sneaked out today, I should go back now, bye."

For several days, Hedgehog went to the isolated room to report every day.

Miraculously, no one in vongola seems to notice that the hedgehog always disappears for an hour or two in the afternoon and no one can be found.Or maybe they all knew where the little girl had gone, but they just didn't want to disturb her persistent efforts.

Today, Hedgehog went to that room to report again as a routine.

It's just that the room today is a little different. The lights in the room have been deliberately adjusted for brightness. After entering the room, one can clearly smell the cool and fresh air in the room.

Hedgehog frowned suspiciously, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, and then saw the person who was flipping through a book.

The hedgehog stayed in the lying position for a moment, and said pleasantly: "Oh, Oni-chan?! You, can your arms move? That's great!" When she couldn't control herself and wanted to jump forward with joy, she was caught by the other party. blocked.

"It's so noisy." The other party just looked up and quieted the restless hedgehog.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Hedgehog twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and obediently crawled over to sit on the duck, looking curiously at the difficult Italian book the other party was reading, and asked, "Oni-chan, where are you?" What are you looking at?"

"Humph."

"Yes, Mai, Macbeth?" Barely reading those words, the hedgehog lowered his head a little listlessly, and said cautiously: "That's great, Ernie-chan. Hedgehog was worried before, but Ernie-chan is so worried." Lying in bed all the time can be lonely."

"Just can't move for a while."

To get such a long reply from the other party is already considered a reward for the hedgehog.

Hedgehog was worried before, what if Oni-chan on the bed is completely paralyzed?It is impossible for her to stay in vongola for the rest of her life to entertain him, and she is still worrying about how to solve this problem these days.Now hearing what the person said, Hedgehog was completely relieved.

"Oni sauce, you need to recover sooner. The sun is warm outside now, and I took a nap with Mr. Ji'an yesterday."

The hedgehog's answer was only the sound of pages turning faster.

Feeling puzzled, Hedgehog raised his head, and saw the person in front of him frown impatiently, and put on that expression of trying to pinch someone to death with his eyebrows.When he saw the hedgehog's gaze, he gave him a hard look back.

The hedgehog, who is used to being stared at these days, is not afraid of him at all. He tilted his head and asked tentatively: "Why is Oni-chan angry? Is it because of Mr. Ji'an?"

The expression of the person on the bed didn't change, and he didn't even bother to give alms to the hedgehog.

Gradually, he could feel the arrogant hedgehog of the other party, and asked tentatively again: "Could it be because I took a nap with Mr. Ji'an?"

The person on the bed stared at him fiercely. If it wasn't because he couldn't move, the hedgehog would have been so frightened that he fell off the bed and ran out of the room as if fleeing for his life.The reason why she is so bold now is that the other party can't move and can't do anything to her.

The hedgehog was silent for a while, then suddenly clenched his fists and clapped his palms and said, "Oh, I see, Erni-chan, you were angry yesterday because I took a nap with Mr. Ji'an and didn't come to you on time, right?"

The person on the bed felt as if someone had stepped on their tail, and the whole person yelled angrily, "Shut up! It's so noisy——!"

Seeing the other party's angry look, Hedgehog, who failed in the challenge of "asking the name" today, held back his mouth. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye: "I'll come back tomorrow, Oni-chan." After finishing speaking, he left the room.

The young man on the bed closed the book that he didn't read much at all. He stared at the closed door silently. He didn't know when there was an extra feather between his fingers to play with. He looked down at the brightly colored feather. Then he put it in the book and put it under the pillow, closed his eyes and began to rest.
