Travel through the city of orcs

Claude is going to transform for love!

"Hey..." Ian put down the fork in his hand, tried to look annoyed, sighed and secretly glanced at Claude.

Claude, who was sitting across from Ian, looked at his son's expression of 'Dad, I'm so annoying, hurry up and ask me what's the matter', and coughed lightly with a smile, "My little Ian, what's wrong with you? Isn't it delicious?"

"Hey, it's delicious," Ian muttered with a listless look, "but I'm not happy today."

"Huh? Why are you unhappy?" Claude put down the fork in his hand and looked at Ian.

"Today I saw that Uncle Ryan went to chat with Mr. Cheng Chi. They were very happy. Fix said that Uncle Ryan was pursuing Mr. Cheng Chi. Dad, is this true?" Ian looked anxiously. asked Claude.

Hearing Ian's question, Claude was stunned for a moment, met Ian's eyes eager to know the answer, coughed lightly, and tried to ignore the feeling that he couldn't tell the taste in his heart when he heard the news, and answered Said, "Dad doesn't know, but what Mr. Cheng Chi and Ryan want to do is their freedom, isn't it, Ian?"

Ian pretended not to hear Claude's answer, and suddenly asked with big eyes, "Uncle Ryan can pursue Mr. Cheng Chi, so can Dad also pursue Mr. Cheng Chi?"

"Cough cough cough——" Claude, who was drinking water, choked on the water when he heard Ian's question. After coughing for a long time, Claude patted Ian's little head in disapproval. "What's been going on in your little head right now?"

Ian didn't answer his father's question, and continued to ask, "Don't you like Mr. Cheng Chi, Dad?"

"I—" Claude, who subconsciously wanted to answer, just opened his mouth and then closed his mouth. He straightened his face and said to Ian, "This is an adult's business. You, a child, don't make trouble."

"I'm not a two- or three-year-old kid who doesn't understand anything anymore!" Ian retorted angrily.

"Yes, you are not a child of two or three years old," Claude nodded, and after making sure that Ian would not eat anymore, he began to clean up the tableware on the table, "But, even as a four-year-old child, This issue is not your concern at this stage."

"Hmph, Dad is so annoying." Ian, who had been crushed in front of Claude, was not happy. He climbed off the chair and ran to Claude and said angrily, "I like Mr. Cheng Chi, I want He is my Daddy, Dad, you also like Mr. Cheng Chi, because every time you see Mr. Cheng Chi, you will smile very happily, you adults are so dishonest!"

Claude stared at Ian who had said something to him and then turned and ran back to his room. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head, and took the packed dishes to the kitchen to clean.

"Hey, brother, what's the matter with you?" Rupert, who walked from the jungle to the town together after the hunt, bumped Claude's shoulder and asked.

"Huh? Nothing, what's the matter?" Claude shook his head and said.

Rupert thumped Claude in dissatisfaction, "Hey, buddy, we've known each other for so many years, don't I understand you? If you're fine, why were you so absent-minded when you were hunting in the jungle?"

"I..." Claude wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it. He shook his head, "It's really nothing."

Rupert wanted to say something more, but suddenly his attention was attracted by Ryan in front of him, "This guy's face is full of red recently, I don't know what good things happened to him!"

When Claude heard this, he also raised his head and glanced at Ryan, who was holding something in his hands and was smiling. The corners of his mouth moved, but he remained silent in the end.

Rupert, who had been carefully paying attention to Claude's expression, asked hesitantly, "Your concern has something to do with...Ryan?" As soon as the words fell, Rupert suddenly remembered something, and shook his head again, "No , Could it be... A Chi?"

Seeing the entanglement flashing in Claude's eyes, Rupert knew he had guessed right. In connection with some recent actions of Ryan, Rupert guessed Claude's mind eight or nine points, and he grabbed Claude. Lauder walked to his home, "Let's go, go to my house and sit for a while, Al said he hasn't seen you for a long time!"

Before Claude could refuse, Rupert took him to the opposite direction from his home.

Al was very happy to see Claude's arrival, and quickly took out the snacks and tea at home and put them in front of Claude.

Seeing that he enjoyed the same treatment as Ian came to Al's house, Claude couldn't laugh or cry.

Rupert poured a cup of tea for Claude, and said, "Tell me, don't tell me it's okay, I know you very well."

Claude reached out to hold the teacup, "Two days ago, Ian told me that he wanted a Daddy, and he wanted Mr. Cheng Chi to be his Daddy, and he asked me to pursue Mr. Cheng Chi..."

After listening to what Ian said that night after Claude finished speaking, Al smiled and bent over, "Hey, our little Ian is such a good boy, he will think about Dad's happiness at such a young age."

Rupert was also amused by Ian, who was a big kid. After laughing, Rupert asked Claude, "Then what do you think?"

"What else can I think, of course I want to go," Al interjected before Claude could answer, "How nice is Chi, I heard that there are several unmate males in town who are interested in Chi Interesting. And that Ryan, who goes to look for Chi almost every day, what else are you thinking about, Claude?" Al asked Claude with some doubts, "Could it be, you don't like Chi?"

Facing his close friends who grew up with him, Claude didn't want to hide his feelings anymore, "How could you not like it, but I think Cheng Chi deserves better."

"Bullshit!" Al slapped Claude on the shoulder angrily, "You think yourself too low, don't you mean you are bad?"

Ai Er's slap wasn't painful to Claude, he was a little disappointed when he thought of Cheng Chi and Ryan chatting and laughing, "It's because Mr. Cheng Chi is really good, so I... "

Before Claude finished speaking, Rupert put his arms around Claude's shoulders and said helplessly, "I said, my dear friend, why do you only show your decisiveness when you are hunting in the dense forest? ? You are already a father, why do you still act like an inexperienced youth in the face of feelings?" Rupert noticed what Claude wanted to say, and waved his hand to signal him to let him finish the sentence. "What do you think is wrong with yourself? You have a calm and reliable personality, and you are one of the best hunters in our town. Is this still bad? My friend, why do you always have no confidence in yourself? Don't ignore Your own excellence, believe me, you are worthy of Ah Chi."

Looking at the thoughtful Claude, Al, who is always bluffing, patted Claude on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, Claude, although you have always been so low-key and silent, love has never Staying because of your inaction, how do you know it’s impossible if you don’t fight for it? Don’t live in the circle you set up for yourself. We all know you are good, but you always think you can’t do it. It’s not okay. Dude, Take out your courage and determination like hunting, if you succeed this time, then you may get the greatest harvest in your life—a complete and warm home, sweet and beautiful love.”

Rupert and Al opened up on Claude for a while, Rupert confirmed that Claude finally had a real understanding of the matter of feelings, and then began to hold Claude's neck and teach him the secrets of pursuing a partner. Al also added fuel and vinegar to offer advice and suggestions, until Claude said that his head was dizzy and swollen before letting him go home.

Claude, who was lying on the bed after bathing Ian and cleaning up the house at night, recalled what Rupert and Al said to him today, his eyes gradually became firmer, indeed, happiness should be won by oneself , If you don't seize the opportunity and work hard, the warmth you want will never come.

Cheng Chi feels a little weird recently, but I can’t tell you exactly why. The business of the candy store has remained normal, and getting along with the residents of the town can be regarded as harmonious and natural. Ian and Al still often come to his home to play, As for Claude - Cheng Chi paused at this thought, yes, the strange one is Claude.

I don't know when it started, Claude stayed here for a longer time, occasionally sitting in the yard with himself and chatting, talking about the interesting or thrilling things he encountered while hunting in the dense forest.That is to say, when talking about these things, Claude will become full of energy and talk endlessly. Every time Cheng Chi will either laugh out loud or follow Claude's narration, he will feel that , In fact, Claude's eloquence is not bad.

Later, when Claude sent prey or fruits to Cheng Chi, he would also bring some interesting or beautiful gadgets he found in the dense forest, sometimes shiny colorful ores, sometimes with long Lightly scented pieces of wood, sometimes even just a few brightly colored feathers.Another time, Claude actually caught a small snow-white and round thing half the size of an arm for Cheng Chi. Cheng Chi thought it looked a bit like a chinchilla, but Claude said that this thing was called 尨, and it ate fruit for a living. Mild and friendly temperament.Cheng Chi looked at his two round eyes that looked like black beans, and was eating small fruits with his own hands. His two cheeks were bulging, and they looked as small as a dumpling. He wanted to raise a little thing at home. I also avoided feeling bored when I was alone, so I thanked Claude and accepted it.

When Cheng Chi reacted, he looked at the feathers in the pottery vases at home, and the deep plates filled with water, which had already been covered with a layer of bright ore and colorful stones, and placed them on the bedside. Xiangmu, who made me sleep soundly every night, and Xiao, who often slept sprawled in my arms or at my feet, suddenly understood something in my heart.
