Chapter 53: When We First Met
In an instant, the fireflies seemed to be responding to Ah Man's words, dancing beside the two people, and the green light of the stars shone on the two people, covering a hazy sense of mystery.
"Ah Man......" Zero looked at him in shock, a little overwhelmed by his words.
Reasonable, but unexpected, Zero doesn't know how to describe the current situation, everything seems to be freely arranged in the dark.
Ah Man looked at her with an expression, her eyes were full of sporadic stuffs, and she couldn't accommodate anyone else.
"Little demon, I've liked you since the first meeting. Man looked into Zero's eyes, looked at the emotions in those eyes, and said to himself.
"The winter when I was 5 years old, I was locked out of the side door, frozen unconscious, do you remember?" Aman muttered as he shifted his gaze to the void.
Zero answered and said, "Remember, I took you back, you stayed at my house for one night, and the next day your family came to look for you before leaving." ”
That year, it happened to be the coldest year in the past 100 years, few people came out to walk around in winter, and because he was not in good health since he was a child, he was not allowed to go out indiscriminately, he was suffocated, and found a chance to sneak out, but when he went back, he found that the door was locked, and he was small and weak, and he didn't know how to get in with those equipment, and now no one came to open the door when he roared at the door.
Approaching the middle of the night, the temperature was getting lower and lower, he squatted in the corner of the wall and curled up into a ball shivering, but the cold wind still continued to blow in from the neckline and cuffs, and gradually he became unconscious, and his small body fell heavily to the ground, and it snowed heavily in the sky, burying him.
Coincidentally, at that time, 5-year-old Zero chased her pet dog here, followed by his robot butler Big Bone, the pet dog ran to the snowdrift that covered the wild and barked twice, Zero pulled it and it didn't go, barked vigorously, and shaved snow with its front paws.
Zero thought that the pet dog was playing a game with her, and he didn't want to pull it anymore, so he also sowed up the snowdrift together, and after a while, he suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
The child didn't know that he was afraid, and he didn't expect that this was a person, thinking that he had dug up a treasure, and hurriedly and excitedly removed all the snow that covered the barbarium, and the big bone did find out that the situation was wrong, and immediately shaved the snow with her, so that Zero thought that the big bone was helping her, and giggled non-stop.
After digging out the whole person, Zero opened his mouth in surprise, but he didn't expect the treasure to be a person.
"Big Bone, is this man dead?" she asked, blinking her big eyes and looking up innocently.
Big Bone tried his snort and said, "It's not dead, what should the eldest lady do?" Big Bone didn't think that he had to save this person, he knew this place, the territory of the ghost family, and this child fainted at the door of the ghost house, how could the identity be simple.
But the decision is in Zero's hands, and he obeys the orders of the eldest lady, which is his duty.
Zero looked at the brute lying on the snow with sympathy, begged the big bone and said, "Big bone...... Wouldn't it be good to take him back, it's so pitiful to leave him behind, it's so cold!" She shrank her head as she spoke, indicating that it was really too cold outside, and it was not good to leave him alone.
When the big bone heard this, he bent down and picked up his small body, and said, "The eldest lady can do whatever she wants, you don't have to tell me in this tone." ”
Ling Nuonuo nodded, but the child who has understood her identity since she was a child, where does she dare to shout at others to do things, she is afraid that her father will drive her away if she is not obedient, so she treats everyone and everything carefully, even the robot has a respectful attitude, after all, the image of the big bone is a middle-aged uncle.
She pulled her pet dog and trotted to keep up with the big bone in front of her, and through the crook of the big bone's arm she could see her pale face, her lips without moonlight, and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she were going to die at any moment.
Riding the spaceship, Zero returned to his small yard, there were no outsiders in the yard, and there was no one on the path of the demon house, so that the young Zero couldn't help but feel relieved, she was also afraid that her act of saving people would cause some people in the family to be unhappy, and then it would be another criticism.
Urging Big Bone to put the boy on his bed, he took a thick quilt to cover him, and asked Big Bone to turn up the temperature in the room a little, and sat at the head of the bed with peace of mind after working for a while, looking at the brute who only showed one head.
Big Bone brought a warm potion, put it in a small box that was kept warm, and waited for Man to wake up and then give him a drink to prevent him from getting sick.
The exposed face gradually became complex, the lips were rosy, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead.
Zero asked Big Bone to go back quickly, just leave her behind, because the robots in the demon house have to go to a fixed place at night for a night of energy replenishment, if Big Bone doesn't go tonight, his father will definitely be suspicious, and then the problem will be big.
Big Bone didn't speak, he made the daily goodnight salute to Zero, and exited the room, his expressionless face made it impossible to see his thoughts, yes, she was just a robot, how could she have ideas?
Waiting for the big bones to go out, he walked on his short legs and took a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead carefully, but after a while, he came out again, and he muttered uncomfortably, frowning, but he didn't wake up.
The pet dog lay quietly at Zero's feet, yawned with his mouth open and fell asleep deeply, while Zero took off his coat because of the high temperature in the room, felt hot, and dozed off at the foot of the bed.
In order not to be discovered, she didn't even turn on the light in the room, only turned on the dim light at the head of the bed, and in this atmosphere, Zero fell asleep on Man's body with an ordinary sound.
When he woke up the next day, he found that he was sleeping in the quilt, and the man next to him didn't know when he woke up, and the phoenix looked at him without blinking, still showing only one head.
"You're awake, thank you for saving me. ”
"You've been so confused since you were a kid that you didn't even cover the quilt and fell asleep. Coming back from his memory, he said with disgust, but with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
He woke up in the middle of the night and dragged her into the quilt, otherwise she would have been sick.
Zero listened to him talk about his memories, looked at the side face of the brute, and suddenly his eyes became confused.
She thought this little boy was so cute at the time, maybe he saved him because he was cute?
The two of them have a fate because of this incident, maybe because of the same circumstances and environment, the two people have a bit of sympathy, and the relationship is slowly getting better and better.
"...... Man," Zero called his name, watching as he slowly turned his face to look at him.
"I ......"
