Chapter 3: The Cat and the Tiger and the Sister
When he returned to his residence, the first thing he saw was Mei Ou standing at the gate of the bungalow like a statue of King Fudo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Maybe it was because he was more or less influenced by this world after coming to this world, and Bai He felt the almost suffocating coercion on Mei Ou from afar. However, this kind of coercion was not the kind of coercion that Mei Ou released that night before, which could make Bai He feel murderous. To give a figurative example, it is like the kind of aura that a husband who has spent a night outside will feel when he comes home and finds his wife standing at the gate with an angry face crossed on his waist.
To put it more vividly, it is the coercion of the tigress.
Bai He walked up to Mei Ou with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong. He held the basket in his right hand, and in his left hand he grasped a slender chain like a dog's chain, which was attached to the collar around the neck of the black-haired girl who was walking a little behind Bai He. Probably sensing the unusual atmosphere between Bai He and Mei Ou, the black-haired girl looked timid and delicate.
β............ What is this?" Mei Ou glanced at the dirt on Bai He's clothes, and then at the girl he was holding in his hand, and his tone was far colder than Bai He thought.
"Uh...... This one...... That ......" Bai He muttered for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good answer. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he pulled the girl to his side, forced a smile and said, "...... You, look, we're all black-haired and black-eyed, and we look alike!"
Mei Ou glanced at Bai He and the girl beside him again, but said nothing. In fact, there is no need for Mei Ou to directly debunk it, the appearance of the two and the girl's resistance have already said the answer very well. There is no resemblance between Bai He and the girl except for black hair and black eyes.
Bai He waited tremblingly for Mei Ou to speak, and he also knew that this was a lie that was extremely clumsy. It's going to be debunked, he thought.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Meiou react.
After a few more moments, Mei Ou stretched out her right hand to Bai He.
Seeing Mei's outstretched hand, Bai He was so moved that he almost cried, he really didn't expect Mei Ou to be so generous and willing to accept this lie. With a sore nose, he handed the basket to his left hand, ready to respond to Mei Ou with his right hand. Bai He seemed to be able to feel that Mei Ou's palm must be very warm.
In the next second, Bai He's hand and Mei Ou's hand were shaken together. The two looked at each other affectionately, ready to face the stormy days that followed with love. As long as there is love, everything in the world looks so good.
Of course, like the above, this is nonsense, Mei Ou directly slapped off the right hand that Bai He stretched out to her and still had scars on the back. Facing Bai He, who was stunned, Mei Ou said lightly: "Give me the vegetable basket." β
That's right, there may be such a good thing in the world. Meo is still Meo after all.
Taking the basket, Mei Ou glanced at the two of them, turned around and pushed the door open.
"Come in. β
Seeing Mei Ou turn around and enter the door, Bai He's heart was full of joy, and he thought that this was a kind of tolerance or mercy on Mei Ou. But in the end, he is still too tender and naΓ―ve.
The place where Mei Ou led the two of them was not a maid's room or a lounge or anything, but an unused room on the first floor of the house that belonged to Eevee. Of course, there is also a basement in this house, but it is used to store other things.
When I opened the door, there was nothing in this room, and there was not a trace of musty or dust, thanks to the usual careful cleaning by the two maids.
Bai He threw a questioning look at Mei Ou, he didn't know what Mei Ou meant by bringing the two of them here. No, in fact, he was more or less aware of it, and just wanted to make a confirmation.
"Get in. β
Meo's answer was still so cold. Bai He glanced at Mei Ou's face, sighed, and walked into the room with the little girl. He knew that Meio was going to leave himself to the master of Eevee. Such a result can be regarded as within the range of Bai He's prediction, and he has roughly guessed the possible consequences when he does it.
With a click, the door to the room shut, and the sound of Meo's footsteps faded away. The door was closed, but not locked. It's not Mei Ou's carelessness or anything, she knows that as long as Bai He has a little brain, she won't run away, after all, escaping is no different from actively looking for death. Because of the slave contract, there is a one-way induction between the master and the slave, and the master can know the location of the slave through this induction, and can also easily kill the slave through this induction, without even moving his hands, just a thought.
Sighing again, Bai He looked at the little girl beside him who was already shaking. This was the first time Bai He had looked at her carefully.
The child's characteristic black strands cover the neck and hang down the shoulders, and in some places you can see noticeable split ends and yellowing. The hair-colored eyes, though weak, were spinning, so it was not difficult to guess what the girl was thinking right now. Her emaciated cheeks were covered with dirt, and beneath her rag-like clothes were her slender limbs and body. The girl looked really weak, and this pity touched Bai He's heart deeply. One is because he has had the same experience as the girl before, and the other is because ......
The hallway was once again ringing with the distinctive sound of Meona's footsteps, and the door to the room was opened. Standing in the doorway, Meo held a metal dinner plate with a few pieces of bread and Meo's signature soup and a few fruits that needed to be processed as soon as possible. If you say that this is a one-person portion, it seems a bit much, but to say that it is a two-person portion, it is even rarer. Bai He looked at Mei Ou.
"The soup is hers, and you can watch the rest yourself. Shoving the plate into Bai He's hand, Mei Ou turned to leave. The door closed again. Listening to the footsteps in the distance, there was a smile on the corner of Bai He's mouth, he knew that this was Meiou-style gentleness.
Because there was nothing in the room at all, Bai He simply sat down cross-legged and put the dinner plate on the ground, he had something to say before eating.
"Little sister, what's your name?" When he said this, Bai He didn't think that he was actually much older than others. The reason why he used such a title is entirely because the girl is a little taller than Mei Ou in terms of height, and to make it clear, the girl is only a little taller than Mei Ou, who is about 1.2 meters tall. Bai He felt that she was definitely less than one meter three.
The girl looked at the smiling master in front of her, but her eyes kept looking at the fragrant food wafting from the ground, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva with her head, the girl replied: "Master, master, the name of the little slave is Maelo!"
What a name, Maelo...... Although he wanted to say this, Bai He didn't know what the name meant, so he had no choice but to give up.
"You don't have to call me that, because I'm just someone else's servant, and it's always weird to be called that. My name is Baihel, and I'll be glad to call me brother. "After all, in fact, Bai He still had a special pleasure in his heart when he was called the master.
Maelo looked at the smiling sister in front of her, she felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't quite understand why Bai He asked her to call him brother, but this is nothing, there will always be some strange people in this world. Although the sister in front of her doesn't let herself call her master, she is still her own master in the end, and her master's words can't be disobeyed. Maelo was already mentally prepared.
"Yes, Brother Baihel. β
"Very good, let's talk about the rest while we eat. Bai He said as he distributed the contents of the plate. The soup was given to Maelo, and the temperature was just right, so that even if you drank it quickly, it wouldn't get burned. In addition to a bowl of soup, Maelo also got three pieces of bread and two fruits, and Bai He took two pieces of bread and two fruits.
Good intentions are good intentions, Bai He is not kind enough to sacrifice himself to fulfill others, who knows if this meal will be his last meal. Besides, he felt that it should be enough for Maelo to fill her stomach.
Nibbling on the fluffy bread that had not been baked for a long time, Bai He looked at Maelo, thinking in his heart about how to explain it when Ibu returned.
