After I succeeded in acting cute as an emperor penguin

Di Que was indeed busy today, but this also caused him to not figure out how to say goodbye to He.

"Patriarch, there are other ethnic groups in the store looking for you today." The clan members on shift reported the subtle change in the atmosphere before they noticed it.

Di Que responded and said he knew, but the clansman saw that he didn't mean to ask which clan he was from, so he thought he had guessed something, and said with a smile, "Patriarch, He Ci has just had dinner and is reading a book in the room."

Originally, Di Que was a little uncomfortable, but now that he heard this sentence, he thought that everyone else knew something, frowned and looked at the second floor, Yan Ming smiled and made a cheering gesture.

Di Que narrowed his eyes: "...?"

After He Ci came back from noon, he nestled under the quilt and looked at the three medical books that Lan Ting gave him in the morning. It is said that this is part of the notes of a person who healed supernatural powers a few years ago. Of course, this part is now Lan Ting looking for someone The copy board I got.

On the pages of paper, there are all kinds of plants that Heci has never heard of, and there are all kinds of pictures. After reading it for a while, he made him grow up one by one, as if he had returned to the time when he was preparing for the college entrance examination. .

The difference is that this time he was so pitiful that he taught himself.

He Ci just flipped through one of the books in an afternoon, but this also unknowingly calmed He Ci's anxiety, and even became interested in becoming a "doctor".

When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Yan Ming who had something to say to him, and waited for a few seconds with his ears open, but he heard the door open.

Get up and look back, Di Que is back.

After Di Que found that He Ci poked his head out from under the quilt, he stared at him without moving, his heart trembling slightly.

After closing the door, he uncomfortably raised his hand below his lips and gave a low cough, then walked to the side of the bed, "...are you reading?"

He Ci's body was faster than his brain, and before he could react, he had already moved aside naturally, giving up half of his position.

"Well... this is what Mr. Lan gave me today." He quickly put away the books on the bed, and wanted to show Di Que, but suddenly remembered that he had agreed to talk today, so he stopped and changed his words. "I mean...I've seen it all today!"

Leopard, who was taking a nap on the other side of the bed, heard the sound. He shook his ears, and found that the owner had finally closed the book. He stood up immediately, and dexterously climbed onto the bed, screaming loudly.

Master! Lili Meow!

Heci stretched out his hand to grab Leopard, and comforted the little guy who was only a circle bigger than the palm of his hand.

Although he didn't look up, he kept observing Di Que from the corner of his eye.

Sitting beside him, he stretched out his hand and hooked Goubaobao's ear, and then said in this posture as if explaining, "There are a lot of things today, so I can deal with it... Do you want to go to the night market together?"

Heci's heart tightened, it's coming! He must be calm, calm...

"Let's go!"

In fact, there are not many people on the road at this time, but most of them want to go back to rest.

The golden-red sun shone warmly on his body. In the crowd, Di Que slowed down and protected the crane by his side, and the sunset that gradually disappeared into the jungle elongated the shadows of passers-by.

Crane Ci and Di Que walked north side by side, and the shadows on the ground looked like they were intertwined and merged into one.

Because the time was not up yet, Di Que took He Ci for a slow walk on the edge of the forest and the assembly, asking him as usual if his treatment went well today.

Finding that Di Que didn't deliberately alienate him because of his "unreasonable thoughts", Heci was happy but also not sure what he was thinking in his heart, so he answered one by one according to the topic, "It went well, Mr. Lan is very cooperative .”

Thinking of this crane speech, he let out a long sigh of relief, "Actually, sometimes I don't know what to do, and Mr. Lan will persuade me not to worry."

"He's in a hurry than you." Because Lan Ting wanted to fly more than to survive... Di Que thought about it and didn't say much. If He Ci would feel pressure after knowing it, it was not his original intention.

"No matter how anxious Mr. Lan is, he has to take his time. Illnesses come and go like a thread."

During the walk, He Ci talked about trivial matters, and Di Que, who responded from time to time as usual, made him feel at ease. In this case, if Di Que was abnormal, it would make him uneasy.

As the sky gradually darkened, Heci looked up and saw that lights had been lit in the distance. He turned his head and looked around, only to realize that Di Que had changed direction at some point, and they were walking towards the night market.

Just when He Ci began to wonder whether Di Que would pretend that nothing happened today, Di Que folded his arms around his chest, tapped his fingertips on his arms, and suddenly said, "Actually... some things should be handled by parents. I told you."

He Ci was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Di Que meant.

"Cough, now Longshuang and Yuan are not here..." When Di Que spoke, the afterglow of the setting sun had completely faded, and under the cover of night, He Ci couldn't see his expression clearly.

"So, I thought about it yesterday." In fact, I thought about it all night.

"You will have... that illusion, probably because you've always lived by my side and haven't had contact with other people." Di Que's tone sounded very calm, even softer than usual.

"Originally, I brought you to the rally because I wanted you to meet more people. I was too worried a while ago, and I won't stick to your actions in the future."

Seeing that He Ci was still silent, Di Que rubbed his cuffs, feeling a little drummed in his heart. He maintained his composure and continued, "Besides, that kind of liking between partners is different from that between friends and family members. You've just been with me for too long, and you can't tell the difference at the moment... Do you understand what I mean?"

"The cubs need the correct guidance from their parents. I'm sorry, I was negligent on this point."

The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, mixed with the breath of the waves, and the temperature is more comfortable than during the day.

It also made Heci sober up a lot.

Dongdong's heartbeat gradually stabilized, and now there are only three words in his mind: Mistake.

Didn't expect Di Que to think so.

He Ci thought about how Di Que would react when he refused directly, tactfully refused, or avoided answering, but he never thought about what Di Que would do when he felt that he was too young to know what liking was!

"He Ci, return to God."

He Ci suddenly felt as if something was hooking the back of his clothes, and he pulled back to make his feet stop, only to realize that there was a wooden sign as tall as a person standing half a step in front of him.

Before Di Que withdrew his hand, he straightened his collar and sighed, "Did you hear what I said just now?"

He Ci was stunned for a long time, feeling the heat on his face, and comforted himself that it was too dark now, as long as he didn't move, no one would be able to see his embarrassment, "Listen, I heard it."

Therefore, he did not notice a faint blue light flashing in Di Que's black and smiling eyes.

With Di Que's ability, the darkness has long stopped affecting his vision. As for why he chose to talk about this in the dark... The first is that there is no one around, and the second is that he has no experience in feelings, and he doesn't want He Ci to find out. His discomfort.

"It's so serious..." He Ci walked back to Di Que's side, muttering in a low voice, but he couldn't help thinking that Di Que seemed to be a little more gentle today, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"..." Di Que pretended not to hear.

When he was young, no one cared about him at all. This kind of problem that other people seem to be common sense was only gradually known to Di Que when he grew up.

Di Que, who doesn't have enough knowledge in this area, is very nervous.

Di Que has always regarded Heci as an existence very similar to himself, with the same experience as a cub, and the same supernatural powers that need to be concealed... He tried his best to give Heci everything he lacked back then, hoping that he could happily avoid those things. Unlucky.

This is the first time Di Que has reflected on whether he cares too much.After all, He Ci is different from him.

He Ci listened to Di Que and analyzed it for him, but only came to one result.

"So, you just think I'm too young?" He Ci gritted his teeth, it seemed that Di Que completely understood his behavior as a moment of confusion, and this posture...was ready to enlighten him!?

If you want Di Que to believe that you really like him, do you have to prove it?But how can this be proved!?

"I can ask... Di Que, do you have someone you like?"

"No." After Di Que blurted out, he realized what question he had answered, and then he pursed his lips, "It's not big or small, call me brother."

He Ci opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see Di Que's expression, but unfortunately, it was cloudy tonight and the moon didn't appear, so he couldn't see anything.

Only Di Que's low voice could be heard beside his ears, "Look at the road."

"Oh." Heci pulled Di Que's sleeve resolutely, vaguely aware of the slight stiffness of the other's arm.

He blinked, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart! As for whether he can succeed, it depends on where Di Que's bottom line is for him...

He Ci quickly grasped Di Que Weiliang's palm, and before he could react, his fingertips passed through the other's fingers, interlocking his fingers, pretending to be calm, "I will be an adult in a few months."

The warmth from the palm directly spread to the bottom of Di Que's heart, causing his heart to skip a beat, and he didn't hear what He Ci said at all.

When he reacted and wanted to withdraw his hand, he was gripped tightly by He Ci as if struggling.

"Di Que, don't you think that I like you between friends and family?" He Ci tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, raised his head to Di Que's shoulder, and his words with a smile revealed his happiness , "Then what are you hiding from?"

"...He Ci, don't make trouble." Di Que frowned, his eyes flickered, he felt his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he just felt that he was surprised by He Ci's words of liking.

Relying on his own perception of other people's emotions, Heci estimated that Di Que should not be angry, so he dared not let go, "If you think I like my friend, there is no need to hide."

Emperor Que: "..."

It seems to make sense, but... something seems wrong.

"Cough, let's go shopping at the night market." Seeing that Di Que frowned and said nothing, He Ci chose to accept it as soon as it was good, and did not dare to continue this topic, showing weakness, "Brother, I also know that you are doing it for my own good."

The familiar title made Di Que heave a sigh of relief, and then He Ci continued, "But I really feel that I like you now, and I will learn to distinguish which one I like..."

I don't know why Di Que thinks that he doesn't really like him, and He Ci is not going to prove it, after all, you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

He Ci felt that, judging from Di Que's reaction, he seemed to be a rather special existence.He Ci didn't want to be fooled by Di Que just like that, he could tell his own feelings.

"Brother, just wait for me for a few more months..." He Ci decided that from today onwards he will play a straight ball! Otherwise, even if Di Que fell in love with him at a certain moment, he would be overwhelmed by his self-justified logic. convinced.

Most importantly, after a few more months, He Ci will be an adult!

Seemingly because of He Ci's words, Di Que finally let He Ci hold his hand and walked towards the gathering under the night.

Along the way, Di Que didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't forget to avoid the crowd of pedestrians with his speech.

And He Ci held Di Que's hand, lamenting that he had taken the first step of a milestone, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of taking this step back.

Although both of them were silent, the atmosphere was more harmonious than the chatting when they just went out.

The area of ​​the night market is smaller, individual stalls and shops are put together, and Heci looked up and saw a familiar stall selling coconuts.

There were a lot of people in front, and Di Que didn't seem to like crowded places.

He Ci thought for a while, and it was unrealistic for him and Di Que to keep silent, so he took the initiative to ask him to wait here for a while, let go of his hand and quickly sneaked into the crowd to buy coconuts.

The warmth in the palm suddenly disappeared, bringing Di Que back to his senses in an instant.

He looked down at his empty palm, and then at the back of He Ci's leaving, his brows directly twisted into the word Chuan.

Why did Crane Ci go?
