Even Beta wants to bite?

"I'm just a big baby over 1000 years old."

The smile on Lin Nanxing's face froze for a moment: "Huh? How old are you?"

Hoddle froze, what did he just say?

It seems... Accidentally... reported an extra zero?

Hoddle was silent, he was too wronged.

Wronged to say the real age.

Lin Nanxing raised his eyes to look at him, and asked slowly, "Are you... in four digits?"

"You still lied to me for more than 100?"

It took a long time for Hoddle to defend himself: "Rounding up is more than 100."

Even the physical education teachers can't teach this math.

Lin Nanxing withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards Wen Ju's house.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hoddle thought that Lin Nanxing was angry, so he followed cautiously, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Lin Nanxing was actually not angry. He knew that Hoddle must be more than 100 years old. After all, even Luke was over 300 years old. Hoddle must be older than him if he could save Luke.

As for the four-digit age, he really didn't expect it, and he didn't care that much.

This age is too old for him to care about it.

The little white dog seemed to sense that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and nestled obediently in Lin Nanxing's arms without saying a word.

"Are you angry?" Hoddle's voice rang in his ears.

Lin Nanxing turned his head to look at him, and said softly, "I'm not angry."

Hoddle's tense nerves relaxed, and he asked in a low voice, "Then why don't you speak?"

Lin Nanxing blinked, and said helplessly, "You even rounded up to a zero. What did you ask me to say?"

He has nothing to say, nothing to say, nothing to say...

After making sure he wasn't angry with himself, Hoddle was finally relieved.

Before the two of them reached the door of Wen Ju's house, they saw Mr. Lin in front of them.

Wen Ju and Lin Nanxing lived in the same community. Mr. Lin lived in Lin Nanxing's house for the past two days, and he would visit everywhere during the day when he had nothing to do.

Lin Nanxing called out, "Grandpa."

Mr. Lin turned around and saw his good-looking grandson and Huo Deer, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Xiao Huo is here too, didn't you guys go out to play?"

Lin Nanxing hugged the little white dog in his arms and explained the ins and outs.

Mr. Lin had no interest in dogs, so he dragged Hodell to Wen's house: "I was talking about you with Mr. Wen yesterday."

"Let's go, let's play chess for a while."

The corners of Hoddle's lips froze when he finally raised his lips.

Mr. Lin's chess game is not literally "for a while".

It means that he will not end until he feels embarrassed himself.

He didn't want to go, and didn't know how to refuse, so he turned to look at Lin Nanxing.

Lin Nanxing waved his hand calmly: "Go, I'm going to find Juju."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Mr. Wen's chess skills are comparable to Mr. Lin's. If he doesn't leave, he will probably be dragged away, and there will be a team chess game.

Lin Nanxing walked to the yard familiarly, and Wen Ju squatted on the ground to play tug-of-war with little Corgi.

The little Corgi has a good temper. When he saw his little friend, he immediately ran to the little white dog with the toy in his mouth, and the two puppies started playing.

Wen Ju looked behind him, and asked doubtfully, "Where's Huo Deer? Aren't you two together?"

"I was dragged to play chess." Lin Nanxing said.

Wen Ju raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa Lin likes him so much?"

Although Mr. Lin is a stinky chess player, he is not a random stinky chess player. He strictly selects chess players.

Wen Ju never thought that Mr. Lin would like Hodel at all.

Lin Nanxing nodded, and replied, "The two of them have also added WeChat and chat frequently."

Wen Ju was surprised for a long time, thinking that Hoddle was over 100 years old, and said with emotion: "People of the same age just have something to talk about."

80 years old is about the same as 100 years old.

Lin Nanxing was silent, he was not his peers, but a friend who had forgotten his age.

He was thinking about how to tell Wen Ju about Hoddle's real age, but before he could figure it out, the little white dog bumped into his shoe, shook, and fell to the ground.

The big black eyes just stared at Lin Nanxing.

Lin Nanxing was so cute that he forgot everything and concentrated on playing with the two puppies.

It wasn't until it was dark and the two puppies were tired that Lin Nanxing remembered Hodl, whom he had forgotten.

Lin Nanxing walked to the living room, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wen were playing a fierce game of chess, while Hoddle was sitting by the side, adding tea to the two of them from time to time.

Hodel raised his head and looked at Lin Nanxing eagerly.

He couldn't understand why a good date turned into this inexplicably?

Lin Nanxing had a great time playing with the puppies these few hours, but he was a little embarrassed to see Hoddle's pitiful eyes.

He smiled and shouted: "Grandpa, Grandpa Wen, it's getting late, I'll go back with Hoddle first."

Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lin were preoccupied with what to do next, so they answered perfunctorily twice without even raising their heads, and didn't mind that little brother Tiancha left.

Walking out of Wen's house, Hoddle looked at the time, it was nine o'clock.

Time to sleep.

Recalling today's itinerary, Hoddle pursed his lips.

did nothing...

It's all the dog's fault.

Seeing his sullen look, Lin Nanxing couldn't help but bent his lips, and said proactively, "Let's go out tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." Holder paused, then whispered, "Tomorrow you have a good rest."

"Wait until you come back, and then have a serious date."

"I have something to do tomorrow."

What is a serious date?

Lin Nanxing thought for a second, then turned to look at him: "What do you have tomorrow?"

He narrowed his eyes and grabbed Hoddle's sleeve: "Aren't you going to prepare a surprise?"

Or... frightened?

Huo Deer lowered his eyes, and the other party's warm fingertips rested on the side of his hand, which was warm, but soon, the temperature of Lin Nanxing's hand was suppressed by the cold pressure on his body,

Lin Nanxing curled up his fingers in the cold.

Noticing his small movements, Hoddle lowered his eyes and frowned.

He quietly moved his hand away, nodded without changing his face, and said, "Well, surprise."

Lin Nanxing raised his head slightly, Hodel's eyelashes trembled, and there were emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

It seems that he can't understand for the first time...

Knowing that Hoddle would not tell him what the surprise was, Lin Nanxing didn't bother to ask, and planned to go to Jian Zhixuan and Luke to find out later.

From Wen's house to Lin's house, Lin Nanxing thought of several ways to find out, and when he recovered, he was already standing at the door of the house.

"I'm home." Hoddle whispered.

Lin Nanxing turned sideways, raised his head and pecked Hodel's lips, and said softly:

"Good night, baby."

The big baby froze, watching Lin Nanxing walk into the room in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he blushed, touched his lips, and said silently:

Good night, little troublemaker.

***

When I got home, I washed my hair, took a shower, packed my things, and when Lin Nanxing went to bed, it was almost twelve o'clock.

He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, not to mention sniffing, he fell asleep without even touching his phone.

Lin Nanxing was so sleepy that he couldn't get up at all. At some time, Ms. Zhuang's voice sounded indistinctly in his ears.

"How many times?"

"39..."

"...the window is open..."

Lin Nanxing struggled for a long time and opened his eyes with difficulty. His parents and grandpa were by his bedside, and Dr. Chen was also there.

He looked at them blankly and wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, his throat felt as if it was being burned by fire, it was sore and astringent, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Seeing that he had woken up, Ms. Zhuang quickly stepped forward and said to him, "The window of your room was left open last night."

"The wind blows all night, and I have a fever."

"Lie down and rest well, and we'll talk about traveling after we're done."

Lin Nanxing couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head.

Dr. Chen gave him an antipyretic injection, told him to keep warm, rested, and left.

After drinking some porridge and taking medicine, Lin Nanxing tilted his head and fell asleep again.

For the next few days, he was in a half-dream and half-awake state, completely unable to remember how he responded to the WeChat message.

Three days later, Lin Nanxing's body temperature returned to normal, and his mind became clear.

He took out his phone and browsed the chat history of the previous two days.

Hoddle didn't know that he had a fever, and thought he was on vacation abroad, and had a routine of good morning and good night every day, without asking any more questions.

Lin Nanxing swiped the screen, and Wen Ju's call came.

"Hello? Star Cub? What have you been doing these two days?"

"Why didn't you reply to any news?"

"When is Cabo? I'm all set."

Lin Nanxing coughed twice, his voice much hoarse than usual: "Kabo may not be able to go, I..."

"What happened to your throat?"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a moment, and the next second the gentle voice suddenly raised his voice: "Aren't you still on the bed?!"

Lin Nanxing hummed.

Wen Ju continued to ask: "With Huo Deer?!"

Lin Nanxing: "...I had a fever two days ago."

Knowing that he was ill, Wen Ju's tone became serious in an instant, and he asked about his physical condition from head to toe, and he was relieved only after making sure that it had no effect on his body.

"It's fine," Wen Ju sighed, and muttered, "I've been so bored recently."

"I don't need to make up lessons during the winter vacation, and Jian Zhixuan hasn't moved recently, calling him to ignore me, saying he's busy..."

Lin Nanxing interrupted, "Is Jian Zhixuan busy?"

"Yes," Wen Ju responded, and asked, "What? Do you know what he's busy with?"

"do not know."

Lin Nanxing lowered his eyes, no accident, Jian Zhixuan should be helping Hodel...

Wen Ju talked about the puppy for a while, then went to play games.

Lin Nanxing lowered his head, looked at the chat dialog box between himself and Hodell, swiped the phone screen unconsciously, and accidentally tapped the call button.

As soon as the voice sounded, the voice call was picked up.

Lin Nanxing cleared his throat to make his voice sound normal: "What are you doing?"

After a while, Hoddle's voice sounded.

"I...I'm customizing a hot water bottle for you."

Hot water bottle?

Lin Nanxing was stunned.

"Why customize a hot water bottle?"

Hoddle: "This year... the winter is very cold."

His tone was normal, but very soft.

Lin Nanxing couldn't hear clearly, so he turned on the speaker: "It's cold in winter? Then what?"

Hoddle said slowly, "Cover your hands."

Lin Nanxing found it strange that he already had a hot water bottle.

And...why customize?

"You can also warm your feet."

"You can also warm the bed."

"Where you want to be warm, and it won't break, it can be used for many years..."

Lin Nanxing turned up the volume to the highest level, but Hodel's voice was still very soft.

Lin Nanxing nodded calmly when he heard Hodel blowing up the hot water bottle, and said to him:

"Then remember to order a few more."

"I'm going to give it to everyone, one for each."

Holderton paused, and after a while, he laughed softly: "You can't be so greedy."

"only one."

"For you."
