If Mu Le was just repeating this word meaninglessly... Gu Mingyuan might really think that this was just a human "cry".
But after Mu Le said it twice, he raised his hand a little anxiously and pointed to the door of the room where he had gone to take a shower before.
"Toilet." She said, "Me, toilet."
It’s a pity that the children’s books Gu Mingyuan gave her only taught words, otherwise there would be no reason why she couldn’t learn a simple sentence like “I’m going to the toilet”.
Gu Mingyuan rubbed his hair, lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed.
He untied the chain that locked Mu Le and held it in his hand.
Mu Le breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the room where Gu Mingyuan had taken a shower before.
Fortunately, there is a bathroom in this person's bedroom, otherwise she would have nowhere to point.
The bathroom was not much different from the ones she had seen on Earth.
If there was any difference, it was probably that it was more magnificent than any bathroom she had ever seen.
The shape of the toilet is similar to that on Earth, but for her now... the size is quite surprising.
Never mind, you can still get it if you work hard.
Mu Le stood at the door and turned to look at Gu Mingyuan who was following behind him.
Gu Mingyuan still held her chain in his hand, with some curiosity on his serious face.
Mu Le: “…”
Even if you are a macho man, staring at a little girl going to the toilet is not a good idea!
She pointed at Gu Mingyuan, then pointed outside: "You, bed. Me, toilet."
Gu Mingyuan: "... Can you do it yourself?"
Mu Le walked up to him and pushed his thigh hard.
She tried her best but couldn't move Gu Mingyuan at all, but the meaning she was trying to express was conveyed.
Gu Mingyuan loosened the chain in his hand and took two steps back to the bathroom door.
Mu Le closed the bathroom door.
This operation was so novel that Gu Mingyuan was still thinking about "human wisdom" after returning to his bed.
He took out his laptop and searched for the books he had read about humans.
There is no such thing as "Precautions for raising humans" in those books. They just scientifically record the different types of humans, their appearance, their common likes and dislikes, etc...
Like the one he raised, it had black hair and fair skin, and was obviously an Oriental as described in the book.
At this time, the veterinarian is probably asleep.
Gu Mingyuan thought about it and found a friend from his contact list who would definitely be online at this time.
Sure enough, his phone had just rang once when the other party quickly picked up the call.
A handsome, youthful face appeared on the screen.
The boy has shoulder-length off-white hair that gradually turns gray near the end.
The most striking thing is his pair of round eyes, which are an extremely clear and beautiful blue, like the vast and untouched Arctic Ocean.
The boy had a pair of cat ears on his head that were the same color as his hair.
He saw Gu Mingyuan, shook his ears, and said with a smile: "Strange. Commander Gu still stays up late?"
"No." Gu Mingyuan said, "I was woken up by my pet."
The young man obviously knew that Gu Mingyuan kept a pet. He smiled even more and said bluntly, "So can we eat human flesh soon?"
Gu Mingyuan: "… Read less weird stories."
In the hundreds of years since the orcs entered the interstellar age, they have been influenced by many alien cultures from other planets.
These influences were gradually absorbed by themselves, and interesting stories, customs and other cultural traditions were passed down, becoming some "strange stories" circulating among the people.
There is a very famous strange story among them - as long as you catch the creature called "human" and eat its flesh, you can achieve immortality.
As a pure carnivore, Lan Mo, a cat, sent a message as soon as he heard that Gu Mingyuan had raised a human, jokingly asking him when he could eat the meat of immortality.
They also discussed this matter in a small group of good friends.
Several people even held a vote, betting on how many days the human cub could survive with Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyuan was famous for his bad temper. Even though his friends knew that he was not as cruel as the rumors said, the boldest one only guessed for ten days.
Lan Mo guessed two days.
He really wants to eat the meat that can make him immortal.
He is obviously the youngest one.
"Don't take away my dream." Lan Mo complained, "If eating human flesh doesn't work, I can only practice Taoism... But we all know that Taoism is fake, and the power that cannot be explained by science basically comes from demons and spirits."
He paused here and licked the corner of his mouth expectantly: "You called me in the middle of the night, is there any bad news about your pet?"
"Bad news for you," Gu Mingyuan said. "Humans are alive and well, and showing signs of intelligence."
Lan Mo: "Wisdom? Oh, you said you were woken up by your pet. What, did the human speak to you?"
"Yeah." Gu Mingyuan said, "She said several words, very standardly. She woke me up just now just to tell me that she needed to go to the bathroom."
Lan Mo: “…”
His expression was so exaggerated that it was as if he saw Gu Mingyuan dancing on a pole in front of him.
In the heart of this young cat, humans have always been a rare food.
Anyone who hears that an animal on their dining table can say "I need to go to the toilet" before dying would find it horrifying.
Gu Mingyuan was talking about this.
Mu Le had completed his physiological needs and came out of the bathroom.
The toilet was too big, the buttons were strange and she couldn't understand them, and the toilet paper box was too hidden because it was integrated into the decoration...
If it weren't for so many messy and difficult problems, Mu Le would have come out of the toilet long ago.
While shaking the water off her hands, she looked at Gu Mingyuan who was leaning against the bed and talking on the phone.
Gu Mingyuan said calmly: "... She washed her hands after going to the toilet."
Lan Mo: “…”
Mu Le looked at the light screen in front of Gu Mingyuan, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
――It’s a cat!
Look at the hair and pretty eyes...it looks like a puppet!
The cat that Mu Le and his roommate raised before was a ragdoll cat named Bobo.
When he was brought back, he was already a little boy.
Even though he lost his balls, Bobo is still pretty and gentle, and gives people the feeling that...
… Just like the boy on the light screen.
If Bobo were to become a human, he would definitely look like that.
The look Mu Le gave Lan Mo was filled with maternal love (? ) in her eyes.
At that moment, Gu Mingyuan finally recalled the information about humans that he had read.
He turned off the light screen with a cold face.
Mule was a little disappointed.
But compared with that disappointment, what was even more serious was her sleepiness.
She held the chain and walked obediently to her nest, intending to continue sleeping.
No matter what happens, at least wait until you have enough sleep before talking about it.
Mu Le lay on his side obediently in his little nest and fell into a sweet sleep.
Gu Mingyuan couldn't sleep because of the commotion.
Lan Mo was still sending messages over there, asking him what was going on. He chatted with Lan Mo for a while, then went to look up information and read the news, and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
The result was early in the morning.
Mu Le started pulling at his sheets again.
And because he forgot to put the chain back on her, Mu Le was freer this time and came directly over to pull his quilt.
Gu Mingyuan got up with a gloomy face and a strong sense of irritation.
“…” Mu Le saw his expression and took a step back in fear.
She thought about it from another perspective and realized that if she wanted to sleep in in the morning but was woken up by her friends... that would be really annoying.
But she changed her mind.
She and this muscular man with dragon horns are not friends. The man treats her as a pet!
You might get angry if you are woken up by your friends.
I was woken up by my own cat stepping on my face. I could only smile bitterly and continue to pamper it.
Maybe I'll even hug the cat and give it a kiss.
Thinking of this, Mu Le, as a pet, suddenly felt confident.
really.
Gu Mingyuan didn't get angry at her, but took a deep breath, softened his expression, and asked her as gently as possible: "What's wrong?"
Mu Le laughed. She touched her shriveled belly and said to Gu Mingyuan the first word she learned yesterday: "Hamburger."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
Mu Le continued in Chinese: "You can eat other things, but I only learned this one word."
Gu Mingyuan got up from the bed as if resigned to his fate.
He picked up the laptop on the bedside table and took a look, and found that this time was indeed the time he usually got up.
He didn't even hear the alarm.
… No, the alarm was turned off right after it rang.
Mu Le stood nearby, smiling, and urged him innocently, "Hamburger."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
If you don’t know, you might think his name is Hamburger.
Gu Mingyuan put away his computer, got up, washed up, and asked the robot butler to arrange breakfast.
He didn't pull Mule's chain again. Instead, Mule held his own chain and followed him happily.
Gu Mingyuan is tall and has long legs. Every time he takes one step, Mu Le has to run two or three steps.
He walked normally and Mu Le jogged behind him.
The little girl was skinny to begin with, and had been hungry all night, so she stumbled after him holding the chain, acting as if she was being abused by him.
Gu Mingyuan sighed, turned around and picked her up.
Mu Le felt dizzy and before he could react, he was sitting steadily on Gu Mingyuan's arm.
She leaned on Gu Mingyuan and sat on his arm, as steadily as if she were sitting on a chair.
But the hunk was only wearing thin pajamas.
She was only wearing a linen skirt, and her legs were pressed against Gu Mingyuan's strong arms.
Hard and hot.
…Mule, who was almost fainting from hunger, still had a lot of yellow waste in his head.
Fortunately, the restaurant was not far away, and the messy thoughts were quickly dispelled by the aroma of food.
Inside the restaurant.
On one side of the rectangular dining table was a sumptuous Western breakfast.
On the other side there was just a plate with a whole American burger on it.
Gu Mingyuan put Mu Le on the ground.
The little girl stood still, looked around, and happily... ran towards his seat.
Without even giving the burger she wanted a second glance.
