The girl was wearing a thick cotton padded coat and a furry hat on her head. Her nose was red from the cold weather, and her eyes were exceptionally clear. The snow-covered mountains in the distance also became eclipsed.
"That..." Ji Xiaoou put his hands behind his back, hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly, "Ren, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Ren raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Ji Xiaoou shrank his shoulders, his voice became lower and lower, "I want to leave here and return to my race for a while..."
As he said that, before Renn could react, he quickly added: "I won't be away for a long time, and I will come back immediately after I finish solving the family affairs."
Ren looked at her, his eyes were heavy, and the smile on his mouth slowly disappeared, and he asked, "How long is it now?"
Ji Xiaoou thought about it seriously, and carefully raised three fingers, "... three months?"
Although there are a lot of courses in her sophomore year, she took some courses in advance last semester, so she can relax relatively.
If she completes all the experimental courses this semester ahead of schedule, she will be able to come back early.
The air pressure in Ren's body dropped, probably because he remembered the days when she left without saying goodbye, his jaws were biting his teeth, as if he was trying to restrain himself.
"What did you promise?" After a long time, he held her small chin with his claws, leaned over to her, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Ji Xiaoou was slightly stunned, and then he remembered what she said to him when he was hunting a few days ago.
After hesitating for a moment, she said slowly: "... Since I promised to be your spouse, I will never leave you again."
After finishing speaking, she quickly looked up and explained: "I'm not leaving you, I'm just going home for a while..."
Even if you get married, you should have time to go back to your mother's house, right
What's more, she hasn't married him yet... You can't be tired of being together all the time when you are in love
Ji Xiaoou gritted his teeth, put away a finger with difficulty, looked at Ren and said, "Then, is it okay for those two months?"
"It's not a matter of time." Ren said, every word hides a depression, "I don't want you to leave me, I'm tired of waiting."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Well, every time this topic is brought up, Ji Xiaoou always makes mistakes.
Who said that she was the one who left without telling me three years ago
Ji Xiaoou lowered his head in frustration, anxious and at a loss.
The day after tomorrow is the start of school, if she doesn't report back to school on time, the school will automatically expel her from school.
In addition, she has not contacted her parents for a month, even if she went to a remote area to support education, the "missing" time is too long.
She could almost imagine the troubles she would face if she didn't go back.
Just when Ji Xiaoou was at a loss what to do, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, and she quickly grasped it.
Her eyes lit up suddenly, she stretched out her hand to grab Ren's finger, raised her face, and asked cautiously, expectantly: "Ren... Do you want to go to my race to have a look?"
…
…
The next day, Renn handed over important matters to Wen Te and the elder Bosen, and after arranging other matters, he carried Ji Xiaoou on his back and left quietly behind the race.
There are not many things going on in the Winter Clan, and the hunting has just ended, so most of the Clan are quite peaceful.
So when Ryan proposed to leave for a few days, Winter and Bosen didn't have any doubts.
Winter even guessed that Ren would go to that cave again with Ji Xiaoou. After all, there were no interesting activities in the long and endless winter except for mating|mating and giving birth to offspring.
Here, Ji Xiaoou was lying on top of the huge leopard, with his arms tightly around its neck, and with his head buried deep, he jumped and shuttled through the forest.
When Ji Xiaoou made that request yesterday, he didn't expect that Ren would agree.
After all, the two worlds are too different, and it violates the theory of time and space... I don't know if it will cause any confusion if I travel between the two worlds rashly
There was rustling of leaves in the ears, Ji Xiaoou couldn't let Ji Xiaoou think too much, they had already come to "1002".
The speed of the cheetah is extremely fast, Ji Xiaoou usually needs to walk for two to three hours, but Ren can arrive in a few minutes.
Ren turned into a human form, his blue eyes turned slightly, "Here?"
Ji Xiaoou nodded, took Ren's hand, and led him to the big tree in front of him.
Big trees are no different from ordinary trees, with luxuriant branches and intertwined roots.
Only the four numbers "1002" on the trunk exude a clear and profound halo under the sunlight.
Ji Xiaoou has never tried to take another person across time, so he doesn't know if it will work. She stretched out her hand to the tree trunk, tried to close her eyes, and activated the opportunity to travel through time and space.
Soon, a powerful suction gathered around, dragging the bodies of Ji Xiaoou and Ren, getting heavier and heavier, pulling them towards another time and space.
In the next moment, the situation changed, and they appeared on a certain cliff in the modern world without warning.
…
Ren raised his eyes and looked at the majestic mountains on the opposite side.
The mountains are rolling and rolling, and the top of the mountain is surrounded by green trees.
Through the vast and hazy mist, there are many high-rise buildings in the distance, and the whole city is impressively presented.
He closed his eyes, those tall buildings still stood in the distance, silently looking at his unexpected guest.
"I always thought that the only way I could come back was to find Pat. I didn't expect that the way to come back was by my side..." Ji Xiaoou spoke behind him, moving the car out of the space as he spoke, remembering the terrapin he had caught, and asked Said: "Ren, can you release Pat when you go back?"
"He doesn't even have this ability. He lived such a long life in vain." Ren frowned, venting his anger without changing his face, and took a step back with his feet, staring at the big black and shiny guy in front of him, "This What is it?"
Ji Xiaoou stood by the car door and explained: "This is called a car, it is a means of transportation, and it runs very fast."
Ren has heard of this kind of guy. Human beings use their clever minds to invent many high-tech things, and cars are one of them.
"Soon?" Ren narrowed his eyes, jumped on the hood of the car, and looked at the scene inside through the windshield.
"..." Ji Xiaoou had a bad premonition, afraid that he would want to compete with the car on a whim, and hurriedly said: "It's not very fast, I can't run as fast as you."
"..."
The car is driving on a flat road, and the scenery on both sides quickly reverses, like an oil painting that has been turned over page by page.
Ji Xiaoou originally wanted to go to a friend's house to pick up Gun Gun, but there was not much gas in the car, so he had to give up temporarily and drove the car back home first.
The car drove into the underground garage. It was already late and there was no one around.
Ji Xiaoou got out of the car, opened the door on the other side, looked around, and then gently picked up a small animal with gray background and black spots from the seat, and carefully put it into his arms , and walked in the direction of the elevator.
The elevator was empty, and Ji Xiaoou nervously pressed on one of the floors.
It wasn't until he got out of the elevator that Ji Xiaoou let out a long breath of relief.
There is only one resident on their floor. To protect the safety of the resident, there is no camera installed in the stairwell. In addition, both parents are abroad and have not returned yet, so there is no need to worry about Ni Duan being found here.
Ji Xiaoou took out the key to open the door, put the little leopard in his arms on the carpet in the entrance, turned on the crystal lamp at home with a "snap", and with the background music, he bent his eyes and said, "Dengdeng~ Welcome to my world."
The lights in the room were brightened suddenly, shining white light was projected in every corner.
At the same time, the little leopard on the ground instantly grew bigger, with strong legs, a thick back, and a long thick tail, turning into an adult orc.
The tall body shrouded one side of the light, making the shoe cabinet and coat rack behind him much smaller.
Ren's gaze was taken away from the crystal chandelier and landed on the living room in front of him.
The first thing you see is the smooth and flat floor, the walls are exquisitely decorated, and all kinds of furniture are neatly and orderly displayed in the house.
Except for the mahogany table in the middle, there was nothing familiar to him in the whole room.
The wall clock on the wall swayed "tick-tock-tick", emitting a unique sound of machinery.
The curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were lifted by the wind, revealing the neon city outside the window, like a galaxy falling to the ground.
Just like what he saw when he came, it was a completely strange world.
—The human world.
This world is full of high technology, laws and regulations, and is completely different from the orc world.
"Ren, try these slippers."
Ji Xiaoou's words interrupted Ren's thoughts, and he took out a pair of his father's slippers from the cabinet and put them at his feet.
Ren narrowed his eyes, hiding the turbulent waves in his eyes, and tried to lift his feet as he said.
"It's too small..." Ji Xiaoou muttered as the slippers got stuck only half way through, "Forget it, come in first, I'll buy you another pair tomorrow." Saying that, he led Ryan into the house.
"Ren, sit here for a while, I'll get you a glass of water." Ji Xiaoou led Ren to the sofa, turned around and ran into the kitchen enthusiastically.
The tableware in the kitchen hadn't been used for a long time, Ji Xiaoou cleaned it carefully, and boiled a pot of water again.
When she returned to the living room with two glasses of water, she saw Ren standing there, his blue eyes quietly staring at the picture frame hanging on the wall.
In the photo frame was a photo of Ji Xiaoou and his parents. In the photo, Ji Xiaoou had just turned twelve years old, was wearing a floor-length dress, and had just participated in a play.
She played the role of the vicious queen in Snow White. With thick makeup, she faded away from the vicious character in the play, and smiled brightly and brightly. Even the whole character came alive, as if she would walk out of the photo frame in the next second. Like coming out.
Ji's father and mother next to him also smiled, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
Ren glanced at the middle-aged parents next to him, and then stopped on the little girl in the middle, "Is this you?"
Ji Xiaoou nodded.
Ren raised his lips and commented, "It's not like that."
Ji Xiaoou said with a smile: "This is a photo I took when I was twelve years old. Of course it doesn't look like it is now."
Ryan asked, "What's a photo?"
Ji Xiaoou explained: "Photos are taken with a camera. You can freeze the picture at a certain moment, and then develop it with film, which can be preserved for a long time." While talking, he remembered, "I still have a lot of photos. I do not want to see?"
Ren raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
"This is my room." Ji Xiaoou came to the door of a room at the end of the corridor, turned his head and said to Ren.
The door opened, and Ren raised his eyes.
Inside the door is a very girly room with rococo curtains, a spacious and fluffy big bed, a delicate carpet on the floor, a neat desk connected to the carpet, and a bookcase full of books next to it .
The whole room was filled with the sweet and clean aura of Ji Xiaoou.
This is the little guy's room.
His little female grew up in this kind of place
Ji Xiaoou didn't pay attention to Ren's abnormality, walked into the room with bare feet, brought a chair from behind the desk, put it in front of the bookcase, and stepped on the chair to look for something on the top floor of the bookcase.
The girl stood on her white and tender feet, stretched her arms, and opened the books one by one.
She is very familiar with this place, it is like her exclusive castle, where she is at home and at ease.
The soft light in the room casts on her side face, making her eyelashes extraordinarily slender, like the leaves of a bald cedar, which brings a whole piece of spring with a single swipe.
Ren seems to understand why this little guy is always so squeamish, he can't stand the cold and cold environment, he can't sleep on a hard and simple wooden bed, he can't eat raw, cold and rough food...
—Because she doesn't belong to his world, her life is much more exquisite than what he can give, much more.
Even so, it was still impossible for Ren to let her go.
The orc took steady steps, invaded the girl's territory little by little, and walked towards the bookcase in the corner.
His style was out of place in this room, with broad shoulders and a strong back, like a beast awakened, aiming for the sweet and delicious maiden.
"I found it." Ji Xiaoou cheered, jumped off the chair with a heavy photo album in his hands, unconsciously held Ren's hand, sat on the soft carpet beside him, spread the photo album in front of him, and invited : "Ren, shall we watch together?"
Ren narrowed the dark color in his eyes, as if nothing had happened just now, he held her skillfully in his arms, bent one long leg, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at one of the photos, and his voice became a little hoarse , "This is you too?"
In the photo, Ji Xiaoou has just turned five years old, wearing one-piece denim overalls, holding pink and tender fists, standing on the side of the road rubbing his eyes and crying heartbroken, attracting the attention of many passers-by .
Ji Xiaoou was a little embarrassed, "Well, this is when I was just in elementary school. I wanted to eat the candy sold on the street, but my mother wouldn't let me eat it. I saw that other children had it, but I didn't. I couldn't help it for a while. and wept."
I have been crying since I was a child. Ren's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at the next picture casually, "When is this?"
Ji Xiaoou followed and looked over, "This is a picture I took when I was six years old. It seems that I just started school that day... Mom said I was so excited that I accidentally fell when I was going down the stairs. Look, my nose is covered with tears." broke..."
Ren looked closely and saw that the little girl had a broken piece on her nose.
Frowning, he looked at the little guy in his arms again, with a straight nose and a small tip.
Well, luckily nothing happened.
Ren was originally not interested in this, he was only interested in the living, delicate Ji Xiaoou in his arms.
However, when the screen turned and accidentally turned to Ji Xiaoou's sixteen-year-old photo, he stopped abruptly.
The girl in the photo had just left him, and she was standing between her parents in a pretty way, with delicate features and a bright smile, a level of ease he had never seen before.
Ren's pupils moved slightly, his fingernails clasped the page forcefully, and the arm holding Ji Xiaoou involuntarily tightened.
Ji Xiaoou's waist was sore from being strangled by him, and he couldn't help protesting in a low voice, "Ren..."
Ren closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the emotions in his eyes had been restrained a lot. With a hoarse voice, he said slowly, "Tell me everything about you in the past three years."
Ji Xiaoou had no reason to refuse, pointed to the photos in the album with his delicate fingers, and narrated them one by one.
The girl's voice was soft and sweet, and when she spoke slowly and in a dragging tone, it seemed to have magical power, slowly calming down the anger and depression in Ryan's heart.
…
Unknowingly, the night was getting dark, the girl snuggled into his arms, rubbed her eyes and fell asleep: "Ren, I'm sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
Ren sat for a long time before he closed the photo album, put the sleeping little guy in his arms on the big bed in the center of the room, and pulled up the quilt to cover them.
Under the quilt, the orc wrapped the girl's petite body into his arms, and tightened her limbs, as if they had never been separated.
The next day was Ji Xiaoou's report day.
Ji Xiaoou got up early in the morning, washed up, packed his things, and stood by the door to go out.
Ji Xiaoou looked at Ren worriedly, and told him: "I will be back soon, Ren, promise me not to go out casually, okay?"
Originally, Ji Xiaoou planned to turn Ren into a little leopard and take him to school with him.
It was only yesterday that Ji Xiaoou found out that Ren can become either an adult cheetah or a juvenile leopard.
It's just that turning into a little leopard consumes a lot of energy, and under normal circumstances, Ren is too lazy to do so.
And the little leopard is always different from the kitten. If it is recognized by classmates when it is brought to school, it will not be good for Ren.
So Ji Xiaoou had no choice but to give up this idea.
Now, like a little mother cat taking care of her cubs, she is reluctant to let go, and has repeated a few times.
Ren leaned over, put his nose against the tip of Ji Xiaoou's nose, with an imperceptible arc drawn from the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "My female left me for a whole day, how could I have the mood to go out?"
Obviously he has done more intimate things, but he couldn't stand him talking to himself like this, Ji Xiaoou's cheeks burned, and he took two steps back, "I, I will be back soon." Throwing these words, Ji Xiaoou said He quickly ran into the elevator.
…
Ji Xiaoou drove, even though the road was unimpeded, it took two hours to drive to the school.
There were not many things to do on the day of registration, registration, payment, collection of books, everything was done before 12 noon.
After Ji Xiaoou had lunch, he made an appointment with his professor.
The professor and Ji Xiaoou's father are classmates, and they usually take good care of Ji Xiaoou, and Ji Xiaoou's grades are good, so he naturally likes this student very much.
After learning that Ji Xiaoou wanted to take a long vacation and go back to study professional courses alone, he agreed to her request after thinking for a while.
However, there are two conditions. One is that she must participate in the grade assessment at the end of the semester, and the other is that the grades in all subjects must be excellent.
Ji Xiaoou immediately agreed.
After dealing with everything, there was some traffic jam on the way back, Ji Xiaoou hurried on, and it was past 5:30 when we got home.
Ji Xiaoou bought a la carte in the mall downstairs and planned to cook for himself at night. While standing downstairs waiting for the elevator, two middle-aged women happened to walk by the door, standing beside her, talking about today's current affairs and news.
The woman in the knitted sweater clutched her chest, with a look of lingering fear, "Fortunately, I have caught it back..."
The other nodded in agreement, "Yes, otherwise I don't know how many people will be bitten."
Ji Xiaoou's hand sticking to the convenience bag froze slightly, and turned his head to look.
The woman in the knitted sweater looked up at the floor and sighed, "I don't know how the zoo controls it, how can such dangerous animals be allowed to escape. Fortunately, no serious damage has been caused this time. If a few more come out in the future Leopard, we dare not even go out."
…
Later, what the other woman said, Ji Xiaoou was no longer in the mood to listen.
Unable to wait for the elevator to arrive, she turned around and rushed into the stairwell, running upstairs quickly.
The arm holding the shopping bag trembled slightly, his white teeth bit his lower lip tightly, and there was only a blank in his mind...
I kept praying in my heart, no, it must not be Ren.
Ji Xiaoou climbed to the ninth floor in one breath, took out the key, and hurriedly opened the door—
"Rain!"
No one in the room responded, her heart was beating even harder, she didn't care to change her shoes, and came to her room from the living room.
The curtain on the window sill of the room was lifted, and a shadow with gray and black spots appeared behind it.
Ren lay on the bay window, turning his blue eyes to look at her.
Then, Ren turned into a human form, with his long legs propped up on the floor, and his heavy boots were covered with a thin layer of dust. Before he could speak, the little guy at the door rushed towards his embrace.
With a sweet and soft fragrance, and a wet and slightly salty liquid.
