Gu Mingyuan drank water much faster than Mu Le and finished half a bottle in the blink of an eye.
After he finished drinking, he casually took the bottle in his hand, looked at the little girl sitting obediently in front of him, and said calmly: "Dragons... have wings."
Mu Le looked at him expectantly: "Can I take a look?"
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
This child was very good at making this kind of expression when he was young, and it was completely impossible to refuse him.
Now that she's grown a little, when I look up I can see the beautiful point of her chin, and there seems to be a charming brightness in her eyes - making her even more irresistible.
Gu Mingyuan sighed and stood up.
The school dormitories are also allocated according to body size. Mu Le is currently between 1.5 meters and 1.8 meters tall, and the ceiling height of her room is only over 2 meters.
Mu Le has more than enough space to stand here.
Gu Mingyuan's height was nearly two meters, with two dragon horns sticking out from the top of his head. When he stood up, it felt like he would hit the roof if he stepped on it.
He lowered his head slightly and walked to the center of the room.
Mu Le originally thought that the room was quite large, but now he suddenly felt it was a bit crowded.
Gu Mingyuan's gaze passed Mu Le and fell somewhere unknown, and then - Mu Le saw a pair of huge wings gradually spread out behind him!
The wings are supported by a thick and long skeleton covered with jagged and sharp scales, just like his tail, which is hard and dark. In the middle of the skeleton, they are connected by a diaphragm.
Every time Mu Le moved closer, Gu Mingyuan took a step back.
His wings looked very strong and light, not as gentle as Gu Mingyuan himself. Every scale was baring its fangs and claws, just as ferocious as the legendary dragon.
No wonder there are legends of evil dragons...
He just looks a little rude, but he is actually a gentle and kind person.
Mu Le moved closer and stretched out his white and tender fingers: "Can I touch the wings?"
Gu Mingyuan remained silent and did not answer.
Dragon wings evolved from the claws of animals, so flapping the wings is just like manipulating your fingers. When someone touches the wings, it probably feels similar to touching your fingers...
Gu Mingyuan didn't know either, as he had never been touched by anyone.
As Mu Le's hand reached out, it was stopped by a big hand.
Gu Mingyuan held her little hand in his palm, looked down at her, and said in a calm tone as if he had no temper: "... Don't touch it."
Mule blinked.
This dragon is so pure.
He must not know that sometimes the more you say "don't touch", the more people want to touch it.
Especially his tone, it didn't sound unhappy at all, how could it sound like a rejection
She pinched Gu Mingyuan's fingers with her backhand and whispered, "It's great to be a dragon."
Gu Mingyuan's mind is on his own hands.
The girl pinched his with her delicate fingertips and rubbed it playfully.
"With majestic dragon horns, a powerful tail, and such convenient wings..." Mu Le sighed, "If only I were a dragon too."
If she were a dragon, she would definitely confess her feelings right here and now.
The atmosphere is so good, it would be a waste if we don’t do something.
But she is human.
First of all, she wasn't sure what Gu Mingyuan's feelings for her were.
The lifestyle of orcs is very different from that of humans. Even between partners, we cannot directly judge them by humans' "concept of love".
They are very different because of their different races. Even in today's highly developed society, I heard that there are many beastmen who change their partners every year under the influence of their genetic instincts - it's a good breakup, and this is allowed by law.
And she didn't know whether there was any reproductive isolation between humans and dragons... Well, she couldn't necessarily do strange things.
Finally, Mu Le couldn't be sure that he would stop growing in his twenties.
What a good dragon Gu Mingyuan is.
If their views on love were the same, if fortunately Gu Mingyuan loved her, if they could really be together...
But she was unlucky and was a human who never stopped growing.
That was after she grew old and died rapidly.
…What should he do
It’s not that Mu Le had never thought about these things, but in the past he just followed his heart and these thoughts just flashed through his mind, rarely thinking about them carefully.
I don’t know why, but I thought about it seriously today.
Mu Le pinched Gu Mingyuan's fingers and suddenly felt a little sad.
Gu Mingyuan also noticed Mu Le's change, and his movements paused.
There is no such thing as "being a dragon is not good".
Instead, he took a step forward, hugged Mu Le in his arms, and gently ruffled her hair.
Mu Le’s head was so small before, and when Gu Mingyuan rubbed it with his fingers, she felt like she was going to be rubbed into a bald head.
Now his palm was on top of her head, stroking it gently.
She just felt so warm.
Mu Le buried his head in Gu Mingyuan's chest, not wanting to move anymore.
Gu Mingyuan didn't say anything, but she could feel that what he meant was - this is good enough.
It's good enough without having to turn into a dragon.
Gu Mingyuan's two huge dragon wings slowly folded together.
He held Mu Le in his arms, and the dragon wings seemed to cover the sky and the sun, wrapping her up as if to block out all troubles.
Mu Le was already a little tired, and at this moment, she felt comfortable and warm in his arms.
I actually fell asleep like that.
…
The next morning, when Mu Le woke up.
The room was completely empty, with everything in its proper place.
The lunch box and cutlery left over from eating noodles were gone, as if everything that happened last night was just a dream.
Mu Le sat on the bed in a daze.
It wasn't until her eighteenth alarm rang that Mu Le woke up with a start and realized it was already late.
She washed up in a hurry and went out to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
Because we left too late, when we arrived at the cafeteria, it was already full of people.
There are actually several cafeterias here, and when there are a lot of people, they can be separated by the size of the students. But this time they were the only ones here for training, so only one cafeteria was open.
Fortunately, Xiang Fei arrived early and had already sent a message to Mu Le in advance to tell her that the seat had been reserved.
Mu Le came to the seat that Xiang Fei had saved for her.
There were two plates on their table. On Mu Le's plate was the food that Xiang Fei wanted to eat, which she had given to her on the way.
There were only two pastries on Xiang Fei's plate, probably because he hadn't finished his meal yet.
Where she sat, there was a collection of poetry occupying a seat.
Mu Le sat down, took a sip of the milk on the table, and casually opened the poetry collection.
She hadn't read two lines when she heard a loud laugh behind her.
Mu Le: “…”
Come on, it’s the last half day.
Mu Le prayed silently that the kid who had just laughed at him would go away quickly and he could just pretend nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as she had prayed in her heart.
The child who had laughed at him came around to her and suddenly snatched the book of poems from her hand with force.
Mu Le looked up and saw a somewhat familiar face.
The other person was the orc boy who had spoken ill of them in the car. He had a very dark complexion and long hair, and when he smiled he revealed a patch of jagged, sharp teeth.
Mu Le thought quietly, in fact, most orcs are pretty good looking. Why does this person look like this? Is this what they call "appearance is determined by the heart"
The other person laughed very harshly: "Do you understand?"
He originally wanted to laugh at Mu Le, but when his eyes fell on Mu Le's face, he was suddenly stunned.
…Did he recognize the wrong person
The last time I saw it on the bus, it was clearly a stupid elephant head with a congenital reversion to its original form, and a kid who looked like a sophomore at most...
How could a child change so much after not seeing him for two days
After a night, Mu Le had grown a little bit compared to last night.
Her hair fell on her shoulders and her top was a little too small, giving you a glimpse of the graceful curves of this petite body.
Besides, she was clearly sitting.
Looking from the bottom up, it gives people the illusion of being superior.
The black-haired boy panicked for a moment.
The classmates around him patted his shoulders and whispered, "Lianyu, forget it..."
Someone came to give the way.
Lian Yu didn't want to come down at all. He glanced at his classmates and found that they were all avoiding his gaze and looked like they were very afraid of the little girl.
Someone even leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Forget it, she's a dragon... You should change your target."
This remark angered Lian Yu instead.
—What happened to the dragon?!
As he thought about this, he raised his voice and sneered, "Kid, I heard you are in the first grade. There will be many opportunities to compete in the future. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
Lian Yu held the poetry collection in one hand and stretched out his other hand towards Mu Le's face - probably wanting to pat Mu Le's face as a deterrent.
Mu Le looked at him coldly, imitating the dragon's sharp gaze very vividly.
We live in a high-tech society now, and not everyone with the loudest voice will be useful.
The light computer on her wrist also has an electric shock function. Mu Le is already prepared, just waiting for the man to stretch out his hand so that he can feel some kind of tingling pleasure.
But in this moment—
A hand reached out and accurately grasped Lian Yu's wrist.
Mu Le was stunned and looked at the owner of the hand.
She saw a delicate and handsome boy standing next to her, with a delicate face and dark blue-gray hair.
Between his smooth hair, there are two big ears of the same color, making him look even more well-behaved and cute.
But it seems that the strength of his fingers is amazing.
At least the person who wanted to bully her just now had his face pinched and turned red, and his entire wrist was unable to move.
The classmates around Lian Yu were stunned.
They were stunned for a few seconds before someone came forward and said, "What are you doing!? Let him go..."
The boy was startled by their angry voices, and he lost control of the strength in his hands and accidentally used a little more force.
Lianyu let out a huge cry of grief.
His other arm suddenly turned into a pitch-black wing and flapped desperately, trying to break free from the grip of the young man in front of him.
The handsome boy let go with an apologetic and innocent look on his face.
At this time, a teacher finally noticed this place. Several tall teachers quickly surrounded them. Two of them walked to Mu Le, and two went to suppress and comfort Lian Yu and Lian Yu's classmates.
The remaining teachers came over to disperse the students who were watching and took them back to the classroom for class.
The originally chaotic scene gradually quieted down.
Mu Le, Lian Yu, and the handsome boy with amazing strength were all suspended from school and taken to the infirmary...
On the way, Mu Le approached the boy and asked him quietly: "Is it Fei Fei?"
Xiang Fei's black eyes were round and bright, and her eyelashes were like a small fan, thick and long, with a beautiful curve. Mu Le felt very envious when he saw her.
He looked at Mu Le, a little smile appeared on his flustered face, and he whispered: "Yes... it was me. He didn't hurt you, did he?"
Mu Le was slightly stunned.
Because no one touched her at all, she didn't remember who Xiang Fei was talking about for a moment.
Xiang Fei quickly continued, "Yes, that crow... Senior."
Mu Le: “…”
No wonder the man was covered in black and his smile was so ugly, it turned out to be a crow.
No, the other crows are so miserable.
Almost all the crows were harmed because of the reputation of that weird senior.
"No." Mu Le said to Xiang Fei, "He didn't touch me."
He nodded to Fei, his smile deepening.
"Stop whispering!" A teacher yelled at them, "What's wrong with you? You're fighting over a meal? You—"
The teacher looked at Xiang Fei, then at Lian Yu who was covering his arm with tears streaming down his face.
Uncertainly, he said to Xiang Fei: "Why do you want to bully your classmates?"
Although Xiang Fei is still young, he is an elephant after all, and he has great strength in his hands.
It wasn't him who initiated the conflict. He was just acting in self-defense. He probably didn't expect that he could easily... break the other person's wrist.
Yes, it broke.
Mu Le didn't expect that the little crybaby Xiang Fei could break someone's arm so easily and neatly.
Xiang Fei lowered his head and dared not speak. It was Mu Le who stood in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. Xiang Fei was trying to protect me."
Several teachers looked at Mu Le and then looked at each other.
One of them asked Mu Le: "Did he bully you first?"
Mu Le lowered his head and gritted his teeth to squeeze out a few tears.
Then he raised his little face and looked at the teacher who came over to ask questions.
Because she really couldn't squeeze out too many tears, it looked like tears were just rolling in her eyes, as if she was about to cry but couldn't.
But this expression seems to be much better than crying loudly.
"No, I wasn't bullied." Mu Le sniffed, "Fei Fei stopped him."
teacher:"… "
This was clearly a case of being bullied, and then Little Elephant came over to bravely defend the child!
The teachers in the affiliated high school were all of high quality. Although they were already biased towards Mu Le, no one believed their one-sided words and instead separated them first.
Mu Le sat with Xiang Fei, while Lian Yu was sent to a room inside the infirmary to treat his wrist first.
Then two people stayed behind to comfort them separately, and the remaining two, one went to watch the surveillance video, and the other went to find the classmates who were watching at the time.
Mu Le was regretting that he had missed two classes.
Xiang Fei whispered to her: "I'm sorry... I was too impulsive and asked you to follow me... Can we still make up lessons?"
I don’t know if I was moved by their love of learning.
The teacher sitting opposite them came closer and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I can send you the screen recordings of the remaining two classes. Just watch them when you get home."
Mu Le and Xiang Fei were both stunned.
Go home and have a look? Does that mean they can have a holiday
Before Mu Le could be happy, he heard the teacher continue: "We have notified your parents to pick you up."
Mu Le: “… … …”
What
Wait a minute.
There is no need to call the parents for this kind of small conflict...
Author has something to say: 5 minutes ago Mu Le: Forget it. They are still children.
Mu Le 5 minutes later: ??? And I have to tell Gu Mingyuan, oh my god, what kind of bastard caught this kid? I’m going to pluck out all his hair!!!!!!!!!
