Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Xie Wei looked at the broken stone slabs on the ground. He carefully moved on his chair, wanting to stay away from the man, but he didn't dare to make any big movements.

After noticing Little Rose's actions, Sal quickly restrained some of his anger. Little Rose was frightened by him, and he couldn't scare him.

"I...I..." Sal had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start. He was afraid of mentioning something that would irritate Little Rose.

Dreams are constructed by Little Rose's spiritual world. If stimulated in any way, his spiritual world will collapse at any time and he will be excluded from the dream.

Once he was kicked out, he wouldn't be able to get back in for a short time.

The human spiritual world is very fragile, and repeated invasions may cause irreversible mental damage.

"Gulu..."

The sudden sound rang out in the relatively quiet small attic, and Sal looked at his young partner in surprise.

When Xie Wei noticed that Sal was looking at him, he put his empty hand on his abdomen embarrassedly.

But that didn't stop his stomach from making strange noises.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”

His stomach protested again, this time even louder than last time. Xie Wei put both hands on his stomach embarrassedly.

Sal's hand was faster than his brain. Before Shevi could overlap the hand holding the penknife with the other hand, he took the penknife away at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to catch with the naked eye.

Then his brain conveyed to him a message: Little Rose was hungry.

He gently put the penknife back on the table and then touched his body. Although this was Little Rose's dream, whatever he had on his body before entering the dream would also be on his body in the dream.

He quickly took out a bag of candy. These were the candies that Little Rose had made in the winter. After being stored using a special method, they were still edible. Sal always carried some with him.

Although he didn't eat much himself, he would give it as a reward to some of the children in the castle.

"This is delicious." Sal handed the bag of candy to the boy with red ears, but the other party did not reach out to take it.

Although he could sense that the man had no ill intentions, Xie Wei was still very alert. So far, he had not thought of asking for help from the guards at the door because he knew that the guards would not help him. As long as he was not fatally injured, those people would not care.

"Thank you, I have something to eat." After politely refusing, Xie Wei looked at the man and then at a small basket on the cabinet not far away.

Following Shevi's gaze, Sal saw the basket. He stood up and walked over. When he got closer, he found that there was a plate of black bread, a small piece of cheese, and some dried fruits in the basket.

He took the basket in his hands and walked back to Rose.

"Is this your lunch?" Sal could see the sunlight outside through the gaps in the wooden boards that sealed the windows. It was the brightest time of the day at noon.

Sal couldn't explain how sad he felt after seeing what was in the basket and facing his hungry young friend.

He wished he could pick up the boy and take him away immediately, bring him back to the Far North Territory, and then find all the delicious food on the continent to feed the boy.

"Well..." Actually it was two days' worth of food, but Xie Wei didn't think it necessary to tell the man, so he just nodded slightly and took a piece of bread from the basket.

He was holding the bread and was about to eat it, but after thinking for a moment he took another piece and handed it to the man who was still standing at the table and staring at the basket.

Then he whispered, "Here you go."

Xie Wei thought that although he did not accept the food the man wanted to give him, he should reciprocate the favor.

Sal looked at the hand that Little Rose stretched out in front of him. The knuckles were slender but very beautiful. He couldn't understand why his Little Rose should share it with a stranger when there was only this much to eat.

Even though Little Rose didn't recognize him at all and was on guard against him all the time, he was still able to share his food with him.

He didn't understand, but he took the piece of bread with both hands and put it into his mouth.

Dry, rough, and a bit bitter.

Sal had eaten many unpalatable things, but nothing was as unpalatable as this piece of bread.

It was so hard and bitter that it choked his throat.

Xie Weizhen was eating his bread seriously. Although it didn't taste very good, his stomach felt much better after eating it.

After taking a few bites, the bread in his hand was suddenly taken away, and then a cloth bag was stuffed back into his hand.

"In exchange, you eat this and I'll eat your bread, okay?" Sal squatted down again, stuffed the half-eaten piece of bread into Little Rose's mouth, then reached out to help Little Rose open the cloth bag.

There were a lot of candies inside. He took out a piece of straw paper, removed the outer layer, and then put the candies to the mouth of the boy who was looking at him blankly.

Xie Wei felt a little aggrieved. His big piece of bread was taken away by the man. There were only four slices of bread in total and he only ate less than half a slice. The man was not satisfied with eating his piece of bread and even wanted to snatch it from him. Xie Wei felt angry.

Xie Wei, who was about to get angry, was instantly coaxed into peace when the man brought the candy to his mouth and he smelled the sweet milky aroma.

As soon as he smelled it, he subconsciously knew that it was toffee, made from milk and very delicious.

Xie Wei opened his mouth and bit the candy, then tightly grasped the cloth bag in his hand.

There are still a lot of candies in the cloth bag!

Now he thinks a man should be a good person.

Sal, who became a good guy because of the candy, felt sad when he saw the boy with relaxed brows while eating the candy.

He took advantage of the boy's good mood and began to coax him: "Will you leave here with me? I will give you lots of delicious food. I will give you whatever you want."

The boy who was eating candy looked at him and the smile on his face disappeared.

Xie Wei stared into Sal's eyes, holding the candy with a rich milky aroma in his mouth. He handed the bag back to the man without hesitation.

"I don't want it. What do you want? I have nothing. I have nothing to exchange with you."

Sal didn't catch the bag, and it fell to the ground, with the candies spilling out and all over the floor.

He grabbed Xie Wei's hand and placed the boy's slender hand on his heart. He wanted to say that he didn't want anything, but facing those amber eyes, he felt that the boy saw through all his intentions.

How could he not want anything? He wanted everything from Little Rose. He was madly trying to possess everything from Little Rose.

Darkness enveloped everything again, and Sal felt the hand he was holding disappear.

The dream changed again.

But this time I didn’t have to wait long. In the blink of an eye, I saw the new scene again.

It was still the attic, and this time the room was filled with a strong smell of herbs. Sal instantly saw the young man lying on the bed with a weak breath.

This time Little Rose had grown a little bigger, but he had become paler and thinner, and his arms exposed outside the quilt were so thin that people dared not touch them.

Thrall discovered that the magic-suppressing chain on Little Rose's hand had been taken off. He also discovered that the long table that was originally placed in front of the window was gone, and there were fewer books in the bookcase. The cabinet where the food basket was previously placed was now filled with bottles and jars. Thrall's good eyesight allowed him to clearly see the labels on the jars.

Those are various kinds of potions.
