caged robin

Abner obviously sensed Oreas' displeasure, so he laughed dryly, grabbed the cup in his hand, and asked, "What is this for?"

Oreas lightly touched his gauze-wrapped arm, "Here."

Abner was stunned, and vaguely remembered that a tall man had changed his medicine, and now the wound didn't hurt at all.

"Is this the medicine you gave me?" Abner raised his head and asked.

Oreas nodded, crouching down, reaching out his hand to wipe the biscuit crumbs from the corner of Abner's mouth, his fingertips were warm and slightly rough.

Abner stepped back unexpectedly, and caught a glimpse of a black ring on his middle finger. It looked very simple, with a rustling light on the surface, but it was very solemn compared to the gemstone rings that nobles liked to wear.Taking a closer look, the ring does not appear to be pure black. The black is mixed with cyanosis, purple tangerine, and a touch of amber. The texture on it is not static, but is constantly moving.

Attracted by the ring, Abner stared at it for a long time before he felt his gaffe. He cleared his throat and explained, "This ring is really special."

Oreas chuckled, took off the ring, and put it in Abner's hand.

Abner was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "You are too polite."

He picked up the ring carefully and carefully looked at the pattern on it. Sometimes it was water, sometimes it was a leaf, and sometimes it was a bird. The color also changed subtly with the change of the pattern.As if to breathe.

"It's really amazing." Abner sighed, returning the ring to Aureas.

Oreas smiled faintly, and the ring in his hand suddenly hung in the air.Abner stared wide-eyed at this astonishing scene, and then the ring began to dissolve, and soon turned into a mass of gray mud.Oreas glanced at Abner, then at the ring in his hand that had turned into a puddle of mud, as if he was very satisfied with this change.

Abner: "..." Is there something wrong with this person's aesthetics?

Suddenly the mud began to swell, and then divided into two small pieces, one piece became longer and thinner rapidly, and the other piece quickly formed a sphere.Soon, the sphere turned into a cherry shape, but the tip was sharper. Then the gray mud began to fade, and finally turned into milky white. Under the candlelight, the milky white gave off an attractive varnish light.

Abner swallowed.

The ball is still changing, a touch of cherry red suddenly gushes out from the slightly pointed tip, spreads out like a fountain, and smudges on the milky white ball, the color becomes lighter and lighter until the middle of the milk ball, the red disappears.At this time, the longer and longer mud becomes a string, and the string passes through the bottom of the milk ball.Ended up being a beautiful necklace, no moving.

"Cherry milk ball!" Abner exclaimed.

Oreas paused, glanced at him, and frowned slightly.

"Gudong." Abner looked at the cherry-colored milk ball, couldn't help swallowing again, and then felt that he was too rude.He scratched his head and smiled apologetically.

But Oreas seemed very satisfied with his reaction. He opened the buckle of the necklace, walked behind him, and hung the necklace around his neck.

Just as Abner realized what Aureas was going to do, Aureas had already buckled the buckle.

The attractive pendant not only looks very attractive, but also has a cold texture to the touch. Abner likes this special necklace from the bottom of his heart, but he still quickly reaches the back of his neck to touch the buckle, "No, no, I I can’t accept it, it’s very expensive, right?”

Aureas stopped him, shook his head, rubbed his head, and gave him the medicine again.

Abner: "..."

"Okay, okay, I'll drink," he said.

He doesn't know why he trusts this unknown Aureas inexplicably, and feels that in some respects he is more reliable than Aaron Ackerman. Whenever he thinks of his poor little brother Johnny, he suspects that his brother is drunk. What I want is the bitter flower wine that is hungry for water.

Maybe it was a necklace that bought him off?

He held his breath and raised his head to drink it in one gulp. He swallowed it quickly, but there was still a faint bitter taste in his mouth. Fortunately, honey was added, otherwise he didn't know how bitter it would be.

"It's over, thank you."

Abner showed the empty glass to Aureas, who took it and put it back on the table.

"Sleep." Oreas walked towards Abner.

Abner: "..."

sleep?How to sleep?

"Sleep." Oreas repeated again, and then, without any resistance from Abner, he picked him up in the air, just like picking up a kitten.

Abner fluttered in Oreas' arms, "Brother, I'm very strong!"

Ever since Abner was able to catch birds in trees, catch dogs in the water when he went down the river, and catch cats in the grass, he has not been hugged like this. At that time, he dragged his body full of mud back home every day, and even the servants avoided him. , but his father just patted his head every time and said be careful.

Oreas regarded Abner's resistance as an act of tickling. He clenched his arms, embraced with one hand, lifted the quilt with the other hand, and placed Abner steadily in the center.

Abner: "..."

His proficiency is probably not as good as Jonny's most loyal manservant, and the most terrible thing is that this series of movements is so damn elegant!

Abner's side suddenly sank, and Aureas had already sat beside him, and he realized that Aureas was going to sleep with him? !

"Stop, stop, brother, let's talk about making friends," Abner shrank in, cleared his throat, and said in a positive voice, "making friends needs to be done step by step, for example, we can chat, drink first Tea, find a common language, and then go to a restaurant or go shopping together when you have time, if you like, I can take you to find a girl..."

Oreas' eyes gradually narrowed, but Abner stopped, and looked away guiltily.Damn it, why is it so difficult to tell a lie? I'm not used to having someone sleeping next to me. I've known Sean for so long, and I haven't slept in the same bed yet.

Just when Abner was struggling, Oreas got out of bed and tucked Abner's quilt back up. His movements were extremely gentle and without complaint, just like a father taking care of his young son.

Abner suddenly felt very sorry, and at the moment Oreas turned around, he grabbed Oreas' arm.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Oreas' eyes, and Abner choked for a moment, held back for a long time, and said falteringly: "Hold, sorry, if you can become a cat..."

Oreas patted his hand, the emotion in his eyes was unpredictable, and then turned into a little black panther the size of a cat.Abner couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, he rubbed the soft fur, and the little black panther gracefully walked to his side and curled up.

Outside the window, it was stormy and dark, and inside the window, there was one person, one cat, one bed and one sleeping.

A night without dreams.

Abner had never slept so well, not even the birdsong and singing in the morning woke him up. "Goddess" flew into the bedroom as usual to try to wake him up, but just glanced at the window and almost hit the glass in fright, then turned and flew away, chattering to friends about the important events it had seen.

Until the well-trained voice of the butler Alvin sounded outside the door: "Master Abner, are you up yet?"

Only then did Abner wake up slowly, only feeling that today's quilt and pillow are particularly comfortable.

"Get up..." He rubbed his eyes lazily, only to see the handsome face in front of him, and he was firmly in the other's arms, and he could feel the other's vigorous body through the pajamas .

He was stunned, followed by a strong anger from the buzzing brain, across the spine, and concentrated to the limbs.

Butler Alvin heard a "boom" through the oak door, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.He hurriedly opened the door and blurted out:

"Master!"

I saw Master Abner sitting on the bed, the quilt was thrown aside, the sheets were quite messy, holding a black cat in his arms, with a face that hadn't woken up, but forced a smile, his cheeks were stiff.

"I'll get up now, Alvin." Abner put the black cat in his arms aside.

"How is the young master's injury? His Highness just came over to inquire about the young master's physical condition." Alvin said, but his eyes were fixed on the black cat on the bed and the suspicious sheets.

"I'm fine, the injury doesn't hurt at all, how is Sean? Is he still there?"

"Your Highness is already well. I heard that you returned to the Silver Pagoda before you got up."

"Okay, I'll be right away..." Abner glanced at Alvin.

Alvin was thin and thin, with a small gray beard on his long, thin face.At this time, his black eyes were staring closely at the golden eyes of the black cat, his chin was raised slightly, and his tall body was set off by a black butler uniform.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Abner, then looked away, bowed slightly, and behaved appropriately.

"Master, this black cat doesn't look kind." Alvin said.

Abner hugged the "cat" again. After all, it was a little black panther. It must be different from ordinary cats in appearance, and its body was much bigger than ordinary cats. Abner held it in his arms and put himself face is covered.

"this is mine!"

Alvin smiled decently, "The Duke may not necessarily agree."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, remembering that he had tried to raise many animals, but almost all of them were dismissed by his father.

Alvin finally left, and Abner breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly his eyes went dark, and Oreas turned back into a human form, with solid arms propped up on both sides of his body, and a gloomy face.Abner smiled dryly, "Brother, I was really sorry just now, I didn't kick you out of bed on purpose... I was just too frightened, oh no, surprised..."

Oreas was getting closer and closer, but his back was already against the head of the bed, and there was no place to hide, so he could only shrink back uncomfortably.

"Brother, we have something to talk about. If you continue like this, I will be angry."

Suddenly he felt a burst of heat, and when he glanced, he realized that his curled legs were encircling Oreas' waist.

O kings!This is also Mrs....

Abner's brain became hot, and his body was lifted up with extraordinary flexibility, and then he kicked Oreas in the chest.All of a sudden, Oreas narrowed his eyes and grabbed his ankles, grabbing him as if he didn't have any trouble at all, dragging him down, a big hand clasped his waist tightly, and there was a faint smile in his golden eyes. Lazy, as if seeing his every move clearly.

Abner kept his mouth shut, and pushed Oreas' chest, "Okay, I admit defeat, I was wrong."

Only then did Oreas let him go, and Abner got off the bed, patted Oreas' arm, "Let's go, I'll take you to make a new friend."

The so-called making new friends is of course taking him to see Wen Si.

There was a hint of surprise in Oreas' eyes, but after seeing Abner's eyeballs rolling, he narrowed his eyes, as if he had seen through Abner's tricks, and sure enough Abner said: "Become a cat first, okay?" ?”

Oreas: "..."

Abner walked out of the door lightly holding the little black panther. Just as he went out, he saw his father and Rhea coming down the stairs. When his father saw Abner's expression was very good, his frown instantly relaxed and he ignored him. A shiny stuffed animal in his arms.

"Father, mother, good morning." Abner bowed slightly. Although he was reluctant to call Rhea "mother", the necessary etiquette must be followed in front of his father. He unconsciously hugged the black panther's hand tightly.

"Good morning, Ai Wen," the Duke walked towards him with a smile, and finally noticed the big cat in his arms, and frowned slightly, "What is this?"

Abner raised his head, smiled slightly at his father, and said in a slightly coquettish voice, "Father, I want to raise this big cat."

Even if the kings lent him ten guts, he would not dare to call it a leopard.

"Oh? Why?" The Duke raised his eyebrows slightly. In the past, Abner always said "I want to raise", but today he actually said "I want to raise", but it was rare to hear him acting like a baby, and his heart began to waver.

Abner's eyeballs flashed: "Father, I dreamed last night that a black cat was licking my wound. When I woke up, I really saw such a cat by my side. Now my wound doesn't hurt anymore."

Rhea looked coldly at the side, as if laughing at this cheap lie.

The Duke chuckled, nodded, and agreed.

Abner rubbed his face against the soft fur on the black panther's neck in surprise, and suddenly remembered that this was a black panther that could turn into a human, and raised his face in embarrassment.

"I don't agree with this black cat making fur all over here, and it's unlucky." Rhea immediately objected, especially emphasizing the word "unlucky".

"Do you think it's unlucky for my wound to heal?" Abner stared closely at Rhea and asked, raising his head, with swirls in his blue eyes.

Rhea's eyes flashed.

"This is my cat, not yours," Abner said coldly, "besides, he's not called 'this thing', he has a name!"

Rhea was frightened by the black cat's golden eyes that suddenly looked up and stared at her.

"His name is—" Abner raised his head, as if he was about to say a resounding name with all his strength, and some complicated questions suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Big black," Abner said.

"..."

Abner seemed to feel the shock of the black panther in his arms, but he still didn't change his face, maintaining a proud appearance.

Immediately, the whole corridor was filled with the Duke's hearty laughter, as if all the suppressed things these days were vented in laughter.

"Very appropriate," the Duke patted Abner's head lovingly, turned and went downstairs, and ordered before leaving, "Hurry up and wash up and get ready, and have breakfast together right away."

"Yes, father." Abna raised his chin, his blue eyes forced Rhea to leave.

Abner carried the black panther into the bathroom, and as soon as he put him on a chair, he turned into a black panther. The small bathroom suddenly became crowded, barely enough for Abner to stand alone. with.The panther's head was as high as Abner's chin, and its long body reached the door, and it couldn't even move its tail.

The soft and comfortable hair caressed Abner's neck, and Abner couldn't help wrapping his arms around the leopard's neck, and pinched the not-so-hard flesh there, feeling comfortable all over his body, and he couldn't help calling out: "Da Hei!" ah……"

The muscles of the panther's whole body tensed suddenly, and he raised his head, his golden eyes fixed on Abner's intoxicated face, cold and arrogant.Abner paused, put his hand down awkwardly, and explained: "If anyone knows that a cat I raise has the same name as a friend of mine, he must think that I am taking advantage of you. My lords, I am I really think about you, Aureas."

Abner patted the black panther's head, and the beautiful golden eyes of the black panther raised slightly. Abner cleared his throat, looked at the bathtub beside him, and began to make up nonsense seriously: "As for the name 'Da Hei' , I also carefully selected. First of all, 'big black' means 'big and black', which is very suitable for you. Second, Silver Bow City uses silver as its holy color, but you come from a foreign land, that is, it is different from silver. Among the colors, black is the largest, so it is "big black", and besides..."

Abner's train of thought was interrupted suddenly, his eyes flustered unconsciously, only a faint smile flashed in his golden eyes, and there was a hint of joking.

damn it.Abner scratched his head. In fact, he just suddenly thought that the father of the Moonlight Circus raised a black cat named "Little Black", so he changed it casually.

"Okay, what name do you like, choose one yourself, from a long-term perspective, it can't be called Aureas." Abner scratched the panther's thin chin.

The black panther licked Abner's hand, with deep gold in his eyes, deep and calm, as if he acquiesced.

"I take it as your consent," Abner said.

The panther continued to lick his hands unhurriedly.

Abner was completely intoxicated by the warm touch, until he noticed a small gray stone on the black panther's neck emitting white light.He remembered the same light when he met the black panther the last two times, and couldn't help but leaned over curiously and reached out to touch it. As soon as he touched the cold surface of the stone, he was held by a big, generous hand.

The panther had become Aurelias again, and now the stone was hanging from the shameful black fur.

Abner's hand couldn't help shaking, and he immediately retracted it. This time, Oreas didn't hold on to it, but Abner's hand accidentally brushed against the observable place in a hurry, and his palm immediately burned, "Sorry!" , brother, I just try this...ittert feel. Well, it feels good."

Abner turned his head away awkwardly.

Oreas laughed lightly, stroked Abner's short light brown hair, and gently pinned a strand of hair from his ear to the back of his ear, revealing the slightly red tip of the ear.

Abner raised his head, and saw Oreas's eyes full of gentle smiles, a familiar picture flashed in his mind, he was slightly dazed, "Have we not seen it?"

Oreas remained silent, took off the shiny stone from the fur, looked out the window, then leaned down and said to Abner, "Wait for me, it's getting dark."

A gust of wind brushed the hair around Abner's ears, and when he turned his head, Aureas had disappeared from the window.
