Chapter 82
Xia Mu is not good at refusing, especially when the other party has said nothing wrong.
She couldn't act like His Royal Highness Egg Roll and act like an autistic child without responding at all. She could only find a suitable opportunity to interrupt the conversation.
However, before this opportunity arises, an "external force" decisively terminates the man's strike-up—
An arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Xia Mu turned her head to the side, and saw His Royal Highness Egg Roll raised his head, arrogantly raised his chin, and said to the man opposite: "Is there anything else? We have to go to other attractions."
The man's ingratiating smile froze for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly at His Highness's chin, intending to leave tactfully, but he seemed a little unwilling, and looked sideways at Duan Zitong's face carefully - his appearance was still a little childish.
He felt that this "curly chin" and the catwoman beside him were not of the same age, and might not have that kind of relationship, so he seized the last hope and summoned up the courage to ask: "Are you..."
Duan Zitong sneered, as if he felt that his question was too stupid, and then he held Xia Mu's shoulder tightly as if swearing his sovereignty, and gave him a "what do you say" expression.
Xia Mu felt a little guilty when asked this question. She shook her shoulders several times but failed to shake off the bear cub's paw. She could only answer with a smile: "She is my sister. We still have attractions to visit, so we have to go first."
younger sister?
younger sister!
His Royal Highness Egg Roll frowned, and the paws holding Xia Mu's shoulders were numb with anger. He turned his head sadly to look at the stupid cat, and signaled with his eyes, "You will have retribution!"
After getting rid of the man's entanglement, His Royal Highness Eggroll remained silent all the way, and all the naughty energy from taking Xia Mu's ugly photo just now disappeared.
"Juanjuan, do you want to see the God of Love Stone?" Xia Mu was not used to the atmosphere of silence.
Naturally, she could see that Juanjuan was angry, and she would not pretend that she didn't know the reason was because of the "sister" she just said.
This level of emotion can extinguish all the small flames of restlessness between each other.
But she still said this on purpose, because she found that this cub has become more and more "protective" of her recently.
This is not a good phenomenon. The psychology of wanting to possess an Omega may not be uncommon in adolescent alphas, but Xia Mu has no reason to indulge her. Juanjuan must be made clear about the relationship between the two.
Before coming to Balan Island, she patted her chest to the king and promised that she and the little crown prince were "just friends".
Therefore, even though His Royal Highness Egg Roll has been in the state of an autistic child for the next four hours, Xia Mu did not explain what he just said.
After returning to Balan, His Highness walked back to his bedroom silently with an expression of "I am very disappointed in you".
The servants looked at each other, looking at Xia Mu, as if they were looking at the culprit.
Xia Mu didn't think too much about it. It was time to eat and drink. At night, he started to practice yoga, and took a shower and went to bed at ten o'clock on time.
Then, it rained heavily outside the window.
This torrential rain is a real torrential rain.
At least it was the scariest thunderstorm Xia Mu had ever seen in his life.
I don't know if it is due to the geographical environment, but the lightning here seems to be very close to the ground.
When Xia Mu opened the curtains to check the floor-to-ceiling windows, he was frightened by a white light that tore through the air, and backed away in a panic, almost falling to the ground.
Her bedroom shared the same large balcony as the master bedroom, so this scream reached Duan Zitong's ears without any suspense.
Behold, retribution is coming.
Duan Zitong curled up his long legs, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the movement next door——
Xia Mu didn't continue to scream.
His Royal Highness Eggroll was very disappointed, puffing up his face in the dark bedroom.
The word sister is not as good as a friend.
As a common cub with chuunibha disease among his peers, His Royal Highness Eggroll has always felt that in the eyes of the stupid cat, he should be a "mature and reliable" hero, not a naive child.
His Highness was deeply concerned about this, and secretly decided: Unless Xia Mu asked for help, he would never come to help.
However, half an hour later, the storm outside gradually calmed down, and there was a trend of clearing...
The chance to sleep with you is fleeting!
So, His Highness took a step back in compromise.
-
The thunder was terrible, Xia Mu was covering his ears tightly with the quilt, when he heard two knocks on the door.
"Who?"
"it's me."
"Your Highness?"
Xia Mu hurriedly got up and put on a coat, turned on the light, and said, "Come in."
Duan Zitong turned the doorknob, like a cold killer, walked gracefully into Xia Mu's field of vision with long legs.
However, due to wearing the "one-piece dinosaur pajamas" bought by the mother, His Highness's body proportions were completely buried, leaving only the cute shape that is very inconsistent with the movement and expression...
"Pfft..." Xia Mu was taken aback by His Royal Highness's dress style, and really convinced the Queen!
She tried her best to control her laughter, but failed, and could only bury her face in the quilt, out of breath from laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" His Royal Highness Eggroll, who was wearing a little dinosaur pajamas, was puzzled.
"It's nothing..." Xia Mu suppressed a smile, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and got out of the quilt, "Do you need me? Your Highness."
Duan Zitong stepped around the round bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. While waiting for the lightning and thunder outside the window, he turned to look at the stupid cat: "I just heard you barking, are you scared?"
It turned out that it was because of this, Xia Mu stuck out her tongue, and replied embarrassedly: "I was standing at the window just now, and I happened to be taken aback, but it's much better now, I'm used to it, thank you Your Highness for your concern, I'm fine."
Duan Zitong looked down at the mulberry silk sheets and pillowcases on the round bed, and said in a deep voice, "The climate here is somewhat different from that in China. It's normal if you're not used to it. I can stay with you."
"Oh! No need!" Xia Mu didn't save the crown prince at all, and quickly waved his hands: "I'm used to it, and the thunder is quiet now, and the rain will stop soon."
This was exactly what His Highness was worried about, the rain stopped, and the chance to sleep with him was gone.
Duan Zitong glanced nervously at the gap in the curtains, and looked at the stupid cat with a firm expression: "It won't stop for a while, you will definitely not be able to sleep, and there is diving class tomorrow..."
"It's okay!" Xia Mu calmly interrupted the cub's persuasion, "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's getting late, you'd better go to bed early."
Duan Zitong didn't answer, just stood by the round bed in a daze.
As if he hadn't expected Xia Mu's reaction, His Highness was wearing a little green dinosaur pajamas, wrinkled and drooping, looking a little downcast.
"Your Highness?" Xia Mu tilted her head and asked, "Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, go back to sleep."
There has been no thunder outside the window for a long time, and it may really be sunny.
In desperation, His Royal Highness Egg Roll clenched his fists, sacrificing the dignity of the crown prince, lowered his head, and whispered: "Every time there is thunder, the queen mother will sleep with me."
Xia Mu: "..."
You are the co-author who is afraid of thunder!
Xia Mu curled up her legs, hugged her knees with both hands in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Jujuan, the rain has stopped now, and there will be no more thunder."
Duan Zitong looked at the stupid cat in shock, he had never seen such a cruel Omega!
"I can still hear the sound of rain." His Highness looked stubborn, unwilling to give up the rare opportunity, "There will definitely be thunder."
"No." Xia Mu took a deep breath, and ruthlessly rejected the bear cub: "I promise not, hurry up and go to sleep, Juanjuan."
Duan Zitong didn't answer, stood there for a while, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door silently.
Xia Mu: "..."
In one day, she provoked the bear cub twice in succession. She was a little uneasy, unable to sleep, and sat on the bed with her hair dazed.
Suddenly, she heard bursts of... sniffling sobs coming from outside the room door?
Xia Mu raised her head and listened carefully - the voice was like a child being bullied by a classmate holding back tears, but couldn't help being wronged, sniffing his nose...
Xia Mu hurriedly lifted the quilt, pulled on the slippers, and quickly walked out of the room to have a look—is there anyone?
Following the sound of sobbing, she lowered her head, and then she saw—His Royal Highness Eggroll holding the tail of the little dinosaur pajamas, curled up pitifully by the door.
"Juanjuan?" Xia Mu hurriedly bent over to help him: "Who bullied you?"
Duan Zitong raised his eyes to look at her, his long curly eyelashes seemed to be a little wet, and his pair of purple pupils looked at the culprit stupid cat who bullied him.
Xia Mu: "..."
She might never be able to beat a bear cub in her life.
He could only obediently accompany His Highness to the master bedroom.
Xia Mu sat by the bed, humming a lullaby softly, and waited until His Highness fell asleep peacefully before getting up and quietly walking out of the room.
After closing the door, Xia Mu looked at the empty living room down the corridor, feeling anxious as expected.
There is still one month left, and His Highness's diving competition rating has not changed.
That terrible promise was about to be fulfilled on her.
-
The next day's diving training was the same as usual. Xia Mu looked at the fat cub flopping about in the water, as if he was watching himself drinking chronic poison.
How could you make a vicious bet of "never see you again"?
She is so sorry.
Why are you so flustered?
Why are you so reluctant to let go?
Xia Mu looked dazed.
Maybe it's because at the age of 13, I was rescued in the laboratory for the first time, I was rescued when I fell from mid-air for the first time, I got the dragon scale for the first time, and the crooked "reason to take off"...
A sense of security and dependence beyond what relatives and friends can give, tied her tightly to Duan Zitong's wrist, is more difficult to quit than drug addiction.
And the most important thing is that she doesn't want to disappoint His Highness again.
Xia Mu secretly made up her mind, and instead of training with His Highness in vain, she asked the trainer for leave and swam back to the coast.
Unable to sit still, she changed out of her diving suit, went to the free library on the island alone, and pulled out all the ethnic materials and historical documents about Dihera.
In the final analysis, she is a person with limited talent, she can't think of a way by relying on fantasy, she still has to rely on the wisdom of her predecessors.
Fortunately, years of hard study have enabled her to develop the ability to read quickly.
From ten o'clock in the morning, I sat in the library until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the materials I had read were piled half a meter high beside me.
Of course, she didn't read all of them. She just used the catalog to find information about Dihra's hunting or diving in ancient times.
The results have had little effect.
She even has a basic understanding of Dihera's bone structure, but she still can't find any information about diving into the sea in the literature.
But she didn't give up, and spent the next week in the library.
His Royal Highness Eggroll was very confused by this, and suspected that after more than a month after the stupid cat left school, the "student's disease" had developed, and he couldn't do without reading.
It's a pity that Xia Mu should probably fully trust the biological scientist on the island——
After reading all the relevant materials, all efforts were wasted. There is really no record about Dihera diving into the sea to hunt.
Xia Mu was very disappointed.
In the evening, Daisy invited her to her little birthday party, and she could only pull herself together and smile.
After a few glasses of red wine, Xia Mu didn't want to play around, and told Daisy that she had a headache and wanted to find a quiet place to rest for a while.
Daisy took Xia Mu up to the second floor. She didn't have a special servant, and the guest room was not taken care of every day, so she could only come to her bedroom.
The bedroom is quite clean, but there are a bunch of plush toys and dolls randomly placed.
Xia Mu saw a jigsaw puzzle that was about to be put together on the desk. On the picture was a little honey badger sitting on a merry-go-round, with a woman in a blue coat standing beside her, smiling kindly.
"What is that?" Xia Mu suddenly remembered the looming jigsaw puzzle in the drawer of His Highness's bedroom, and couldn't help asking curiously.
Daisy hurriedly jumped to the desk, blocking her view shyly.
"What's the matter?" Xia Mu blinked at her and smiled: "What's the matter? The little honey badger on the puzzle, is that you?"
Daisy saw that she had unraveled it, so she simply turned sideways, touched the puzzle pieces on the table, and replied frankly: "Yes, it's me, this is my mother."
She pointed to the woman in the coat.
"Is this a hand-painted drawing from the photos you took at the playground?" Xia Mu was very curious. The cartoon on this puzzle was really naive, not like the work of a professional painter.
Daisy shook her head, "This is a picture I imagined, and it was taught by my hypnotist teacher."
Xia Mu became even more curious: "Hypnotism? Why do hypnotists need puzzles?"
Daisy explained seriously: "In a training class a few years ago, the teacher hypnotized us to help us dig out the regrets deep in our hearts."
Daisy looked longingly at the woman on the puzzle, and fell into memories: "My mother said that on my tenth birthday, she would take me to the amusement park, but on the day before my birthday, on the way back from work, she came out There was a car accident."
Xia Mu trembled violently, and subconsciously covered the puzzle with her hand, "Sorry...Sorry! I shouldn't be asking random questions."
She suddenly understood why this girl was not very good at communicating with strangers. It must be the lack of maternal love in childhood that made her feel lonely for a long time.
"It's okay." Daisy looked up and smiled at her: "The teacher said that moving forward with regrets will make people look back with nostalgia, so she wants to help us heal the wounds deep in our hearts - relying on external efforts To make up for the regret, every piece of the jigsaw puzzle is a proof of the healing of the wound, and I am almost done with it."
Xia Mu felt like a lump in his throat.
Daisy's calm and optimistic attitude could not reduce the pity and bitterness in her heart.
She looked down at the jigsaw puzzle again, and there were only four pieces left that were not put together.
With a flash in her eyes, she suddenly remembered the drunk conversation with His Royal Highness Eggroll that day——
"Your Highness won't be angry with me?"
"angry."
"Forgive me, okay?"
"There's one last piece of the puzzle."
Xia Mu's heart trembled suddenly.
What regrets does Juanjuan have?
After passing the primary assessment, she has been pestering her for the whole vacation, is it just to make up for that piece of the puzzle?
