7 CHAPTER VII
"Knock knock" Ning Xuan stood in front of the bathroom door and knocked on the door. Please remember the URL of this site: .
"What's the matter?" Soon, Anselle's voice could be heard in the bathroom.
"I'm sorry to bother you while you're bathing, Ansai, but Aggie is awake and wants something to eat, so I want to ask you if there's anything I can give Aggie something to eat?" Ning Xuan explained the reason to Anse Air.
"Can the Setdragon cubs eat? Meat, they eat meat, but if it's a cub, the meat needs to be specially prepared. Anse El replied, "However, I don't have it at home, you can go to the street and buy it, go out and turn right about five hundred paces and then turn left six hundred steps, and you can see a 'Keith butcher' shop that sells food for the young Settron, you can go there and buy some for your cubs, and there are some coins on the plate on the cabinet next to the fire, you can use them first." ”
"Thank you, Ansai, I'll be right back." Ning Xuan was silent for a moment after listening to Ansel's words, and then thanked him sincerely.
"Move quickly, the Keith butcher's shop closes early, and besides, a cub like you raise, as long as you buy a small portion, fifty copper coins a piece, this one is enough for your cub to eat for a day, don't be cheated by the cunning old man of Old Keith." Anse El shouted again in the bathroom.
"I see." Hearing that the Case butcher shop was closed early, Ning Xuan couldn't help but speed up his movements, grabbed two silver coins, and ran out in response.
By the time Ning Xuan panted and ran to a butcher shop, the shop was about to close.
"Please, is this the Case butcher?" Ning Xuan, who was out of breath when he ran, asked with one hand propped up on the door panel and his lips turned white.
"Of course, it's written in such big words, don't you know?" The boss with a red face glanced at Ning Xuan and said rudely.
"So, excuse me, is there any meat for the Settron cubs?" Ning Xuan straightened up and asked again after taking a breath.
The boss glanced at Ning Xuan again, then bent down to pick up a bag of meat and threw it on the counter, "The last one, a silver coin." ”
"Didn't you say fifty copper coins each?" Ning Xuan, who had recovered his strength, frowned and asked.
"Do you want it or don't you want it? If you don't want it, forget it, I'll decide how much you sell, whether you want it or not! The boss said in a tone of affection, and then reached out to take the meat back.
"......Slow down" Ning Xuan thought of Aji's appearance of waiting at home, and finally had to buy the meat at a high price, put a silver coin on the table and held the meat in his arms.
The boss didn't expect Ning Xuan to really compromise, picked up the silver coin, held it in his hand, bit it with his teeth, and quickly put it in his pocket after making sure it was true, and then waved his hand to drive away, "Let's go, let's go, the meat is also sold to you, I'm going to close the door, don't pestle here anymore." ”
Ning Xuan, who was driven out, glanced at the boss again, scolded the profiteer, and hurried towards Ansel's house with the meat in his arms.
When he was about to walk to Ansel's house, Ning Xuan remembered that he had closed the door when he went out, but he didn't have the key to open the door, and when he was worried about whether Ansel had finished taking a bath and could trouble him to open the door for himself, Ning Xuan found that the gate of the courtyard was not closed as when he left, but hidden, Ning Xuan didn't know what was going on, he stepped forward softly and leaned into the crack of the door to look in, but he couldn't cry and laugh and found that Ansel and Aji, who were wearing nightgowns, were facing each other on one side and one dragon. Ansel had a childish expression on his face, while Aggie looked puffed up, the thorns on his back stood up, his mouth let out a menacing growl, and his tail flicked incessantly.
"What's going on?" Ning Xuan pushed open the door and asked.
And when Aji saw Ning Xuan appear, he flicked his tail like he saw a savior and pounced, holding Ning Xuan's legs and trying to climb up while complaining to Ning Xuan, "Papa, this villain ran to our nest and grabbed my tail, Papa, teach him a lesson!" ”
And Ansel looked at Ning Xuan with a smile on his hands, "Your Cytroon cub has a really bad temper!" ”
Seeing the teasing look in Ansel's eyes, Ning Xuan smiled bitterly, then touched Aji's little head and whispered comfortingly, "Hey, Aji, calm down, he's not a bad person, he's my employer." And it is not our nest, we all borrow and dwell in his house. ”
"Employers? Why should we live in his house? What about his contractual partner? Aggie tilted his head, looking a little confused.
"Uh......" Ning Xuan was speechless, and he suddenly remembered at this time, in Aji's heart, he had always thought that he was its papa, thinking that he was the same species as it, and he could not care about it in the forest, but now that he had come to Fura City, some things had to be made clear.
Ning Xuan glanced at Ansel, who was standing aside to watch the show, and then lowered his head to look at Aji, who was looking at him with his head high, Ning Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Aji, I found food for you, can you eat your stomach first, and then I have some very important things to tell you." After saying that, he looked at Anse El, "Uh, Anse, I think Aggie and I will probably need a time alone, if there is nothing else for me to do right now, can I go back to my room first?" ”
Regarding the exchange between Ning Xuan and Aji, although Ansel had some doubts in his heart, he still shrugged his shoulders understandingly, "Of course, I will go to rest in a while, from now on, it is your own free time." After speaking, Ansel pointed to the meat in Ning Xuan's arms, "I think, if you can find a plate for your cub to eat, I think it will be easier to clean up after it finishes eating, and it is better to cut small pieces and put them on the plate to feed it." ”
"Okay, I will, thank you Ansai, good night." Ning Xuan nodded.
Anse El yawned slightly, then waved his hand, turned around and entered the house first, then went into his bedroom and closed the door.
And Ning Xuan hugged Aji, and then walked in, found a plate, put the cut meat in, and then went upstairs with Aji in one hand and the plate in the other, and entered his bedroom and closed the door.
Gently put Aji on the ground, and put the plate in front of Aji, Ning Xuan reached out and touched Aji's head, "Aji, eat." ”
Although he felt that his papa felt a little weird now, but after a long rest, the nutrient solution eaten when the shell was broken had already been digested, and Aggie was really hungry, thinking that his papa said that he would talk to himself later, so Aji didn't bother to ask but plunged into the plate and ate quickly.
Ning Xuan sat on the floor and watched Aji gobble up a little distracted, how would Aji react after telling Aji the truth later? Will you feel like you've cheated on it? Will it leave itself? If he leaves himself, how will Aji, who is the first smell he receives after coming out of the shell, belong to a human being, survive? How can you keep the angry Aji......
Although Aji is still small, it is not slow to eat at all, and when it licks the plate cleanly, Ning Xuan is still immersed in his thoughts and has not come back to his senses.
Aggie tilted his head and looked at his papa, although it seemed to be watching himself eat, but obviously his attention was not here, so he licked his mouth, and then stepped forward and shook his papa's soft and warm hand, "papa, I'm done eating, don't you want to tell me something?" ”
"Huh? Ah......h Is this meat enough? ”
"That's enough, papa, you see, you have a round belly." Aggie nodded, patted his bulging belly with his little short paws, and said with a grin.
"Ah, sure enough, it's round like a watermelon." Ning Xuan was amused by Aji's movements, and also reached out to touch it.
"What is a watermelon?" Aggie tilted his head a little puzzled, and then asked, "Didn't Papa just say that he had something to say to me?" What is it? Looks like it's important, what's the big secret? ”
"Hmm...... Yes, it's a very important thing. Ning Xuan is actually a bit of an ostrich mentality, he thinks that after he tells the truth, Aji's attitude should not be what he wants to see, so he tries his best to delay the time to say it, of course, if the situation allows him not to say it, it is the best, but, unfortunately, Aji's memory is actually quite good, and the reality does not allow him not to say it, so he said after a while of luck in his heart, "Aji, before I tell you these things, I want you to know that I didn't mean to hurt you by doing anything, From the first glance I saw you coming out of my shell, everything I did for you was to wish you well. ”
"Hmm." Aji nodded obediently, and then grabbed Ning Xuandi's clothes with his small short front paws and snuggled up to him, "Papa loves me very much, and I love Papa too." ”
"Aji......" Such a short sentence almost provoked the tears of Ning Xuan, who was already very emotional, and the red-eyed Ning Xuan felt that the following words were becoming more and more difficult to say, but he had to say, "Aji, I want to sue you...... Actually, I'm really not your papa. ”
"Aji, don't talk now, listen to me first, okay?" Seeing that Aji opened his mouth to say something, Ning Xuan waved his hand to stop him, he was afraid, he was afraid that as soon as Aji opened his mouth, he would not have the courage to continue, "Aji, I am indeed not your father, because I am not a Cytrosaurus, if I have to say that there must be some connection between me and Cytroon, I think, probably I belong to the kind of existence that can make a contract with Cytroon, yes, I am a human being." Looking at Aji Ningxuan, who was stunned and unconsciously released the claws that were holding his clothes, his heart ached, but he had to continue, "Aji, I'm sorry for acquiescing to the fact that I was your papa when I was in the forest, I didn't know that this would have such a big impact on your future, I'm really sorry." Because of my reasons, your future may be difficult, so I am willing to do my best to compensate you, such as raising you for the rest of your life. Of course, I am willing to respect any opinions and choices you may have, and I will provide you with the help I can. Looking at Aji, who was still looking at him like that, Ning Xuan felt that he wanted to cry a little, "Aji, I'm really sorry, if you want to hit me, scold me, or express your anger at me in other ways, I'm willing to ......accept it" After saying this, Ning Xuan lowered his head as if he had lost all his strength, he couldn't face Aji's trusting eyes, and was ready to accept the upcoming accusation and punishment like a child who had made a mistake.
