45. Dreams
Instructed Rafael to keep an eye on Ral and Angela on the spot, he followed Qiqi out of the street with a cane alone, no matter how fast a child's movements could not outrun Fisher, Fisher watched her figure rush into the side alley, and when he got there, the alley seemed to be without her, but Fisher saw the dark green dress exposed under the garbage shelf.
And the sobbing sound that swayed slightly with the hem of her dress.
Fisher sighed and walked into the alley with his cane,
"'The petite swallow cried out to the dragon, whispering but full of passionate affection, and she said, I am the swallow, the smallest swallow in the world, and I love the dragon, the greatest creature in the world. Even though we are very different in height, I am always at the level of your soul and can therefore shout out my love for you...'"
As he walked, Fisher recited a verse from the long poem "Song of the Love Dragon" written by Madame Saint-Nari Laufang at a tea party in her poetry collection a few years ago, telling the story of a petite swallow falling in love with a dragon, although Fisher felt that Laufang was only satisfying the fantasies of poor girls suddenly becoming rich, but he did not deny Laffang's mastery of words.
After the poem was read, Fisher just walked in front of the shelf, and Qiqi, who was holding his knees under the shelf, looked at him,
"Is this a poem by Ms. Laufang?"
She blinked her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
It seemed that she had not read Laufang's anthology of love, although it was unlikely that Philoen would have shown her such a collection of youthful poems.
Fisher crouched down and nodded,
"You're smart, how can you tell?"
"Ms. Lao Fang's poems make me think a lot of imagination when I hear them, so I remember her habit of writing poems..."Qi Qi's little hand wiped the tears on her face, and then said aggrievedly, "I originally wanted to share it with Angela, but I seem to have messed up, and my ears are exposed..."
"Angela must have been scared, because since she was a child, only the big bad wolf in the story has such ears and tails, and she will definitely suspect that I will eat her..."
Growing up, the werewolf race who grew up around humans, even if she learned the human language, even if she wore human clothes, she still felt strange after seeing how different she was from her father and the humans in the story.
It had been a long time since she had left the inner city of Philorn, for she could not forget that even when she was around Filorn, she still received the disdainful gazes of many people outside.
"Even a petite swallow must be honest about her identity, even if she is so small. The relationship that hides your grievances won't last long, so it's better to face it boldly, and true friends won't be scared away from you just because you have a pair of ears or tails. ”
"Although it depends to some extent on how the other person perceives you, you also have to have a certain amount of trust in your friends, do you have that confidence?"
Obviously a researcher who focuses on academics, after coming to the Southern Continent, Fisher always feels that he is always acting as a teacher in a parenting class, and he has no salary.
"Really... Are you sure? Qi Qi's little hand squeezed and slowly climbed out from under the shelf, "I.. I want to go see Angela, can I hide in Mr. Fisher's arms if she hates me? ”
“... If that's the case, I'll lend you a little bit for now. ”
Fisher gently took Qiqi's hand and led her out of the alley. Ever since he came out, he had been worried about where Philon would set a trap, for himself, for Qiqi, and for Rafael.
But after coming out for a long time, Fisher didn't see anything wrong, as if Philoon really just let himself take Qiqi out to satisfy her desire to come out and meet her pen pal.
"Qiqi!"
Angela, who was standing next to the street, saw Qiqi holding by Fisher, so she ran to her quickly and hugged her at once.
"I'm sorry, Qiqi, my uncle scared you..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Angela, I'm actually a subhuman and I didn't tell you before."
"But your ears are really cool, are they wolf ears? Can I touch it? ”
Ignoring the scene of the two children, Fisher lit a cigarette and walked over to Rafael.
In fact, where can children have resentment and contempt for other races, everything they are taught, just like Ral's trust in himself as a human being?
But Rafael, who was beside her, watched the scene for a long time, and didn't know why she suddenly took Fisher's hand, her paws were supple, no different from the slender softness of Lady Nari, but her body seemed warm.
"Holding my hand is going to add a chance to punish."
Rafael glared at Fisher, who was puzzled by the amorous Fisher next to him, as if he didn't understand why he could say such cold words at the temperature of a human being
"You're really..."
Rafael tried to withdraw his hand, but he still held it in the palm of his hand, and then the strength of the struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally it was equal to no such thing.
Anyway, the punishment now isn't all...
It's not a punishment, it doesn't matter if it is added once, twice, or even many times...
At least Rafael was quite happy.
Thinking of strange things, Rafael's tail wagged happily, and he even had a certain affection for the night.
Seeing Qiqi and Angela say goodbye and run back with a red face, Fisher snuffed out the cigarette butt and let go of Rafael's hand, because he was going to buy some supplies to get out of town.
"Fisher, you've finished your coffee! It's a little bitter, but after drinking it, Hill said that my tongue is discolored, do you want to see it? ”
"Alright, Ral, sit tight, we're off to buy something."
Fisher patted Lal on the head and put her into the car, and when Qiqi finally got on the train, she didn't sit in the car, but sat next to Fisher.
When Fisher turned to look at her, she blushed and bowed to Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher, thank you for bringing me out today, sorry for your trouble."
Philoon taught her human etiquette, saying thank you or sorry for causing trouble to others, and if it weren't for her appearance, she would be no different from other human children.
"You're welcome, I promised your dad to take care of you... Speaking of which, do you like to read articles? ”
The boring text is simply poison for this naughty and mischievous child, let alone what to gain from it, but I didn't expect this subhuman child in front of him to be an outlier.
"Well, I like to read poems and stories, and in the future, I want to write a lot of interesting things like Ms. Lao Fang, and then let many people see them. I told my dad and he told me to practice and start by writing letters, so I tried to send letters to people outside..."
She pinched the corners of her skirt, looked at Fisher beside her, and whispered,
"Mr. Fisher must be a famous scholar like his father, right?"
"University scholars can't talk about it, they just know some superficial knowledge and truth."
Anyway, most of the young scholars in St. Nari think they are hereticals, otherwise they would not buy the latest Nari academic journals every time to block their own published papers, and then write a lot of academic articles that refute their own views to make up for the publication requirements of the academy or research organization.
This is probably the case with the wise saying among young scholars, "Fisher's articles feed half of the young scholars of St. Nari."
However, before coming to the Southern Continent, Fisher was really tired of refuting those sophistry young scholars, so he reported the matter to the dean of the Royal Academy, and heard that the dean ran to the academy like an explosion to beat their ass, and forbade them to write about Fisher, so Fisher stopped.
"Shall I write to you when you return to Saint-Nari, Mr. Fisher?"
Fisher glanced at the young werewolf beside him with his ears cocked, sighed, and pulled a pen from his bosom,
"Is there anything you can write about?"
"Hey, here... Here's the envelope. ”
"I'll write you the address, and when the time comes, remember to put my full name on the cover, Fisher Benavides...... And write where you're sending it from, understand? ”
"I see..."
Looking at the line of flowery Nari writing on the envelope, Qiqi finally happily withdrew his hand and ran into the carriage.
After that, Fisher took them around the city again, replenishing a lot of supplies before heading for the inner city of Philoon.
