Travel through the city of orcs

"Tea, please." Cheng Chi welcomed them into the house, made tea and brought them in front of them, and said awkwardly.

The middle-aged orc at the head looked up at Cheng Chi, took a sip from his teacup, and then asked calmly, "Your name is Cheng Chi?"

"Yes." Cheng Chi replied.

"What do you usually do?" The middle-aged orc continued to ask.

This almost interrogative way of questioning made Cheng Chi feel very uncomfortable, but the intimidating aura exuded by the middle-aged orc sitting in front of him forced Cheng Chi to answer his question, "Sell candy, plant flowers and grass. .”

"This kind of life is very leisurely." The middle-aged orc put on a smile on his face, "He also wanted to live like this before..."

Cheng Chi knew that this was not talking to him, so he stood aside sensibly and didn't say anything.

The middle-aged orc came back from his memories, looked at Cheng Chi who was standing aside with a calm expression, and said, "Can you show me your house?"

Cheng Chi raised his head to meet the eyes of the middle-aged orc, and glanced at the few unsmiling and powerful male orcs sitting next to the orc from the corner of his eye, and replied in a calm voice, "Of course."

The middle-aged orc stood up when he heard the words, waved his hand again to signal those followers not to follow, and then followed Cheng Chi to the backyard.

The middle-aged orc acted like a competent visitor, occasionally asking questions about things he was interested in, and most of the time quietly listening to Cheng Chi's introduction.

After Cheng Chi introduced all the convenient places for the middle-aged orc to see, there was a knock on the door.

Cheng Chi was stunned for a moment, looked at the middle-aged orc who seemed to be in a happier mood, and said, "I'll go and open the door."

The middle-aged orc waved his hand, "No need, let Adair and Jeff go." While speaking, the two male orcs who had been sullenly walked to the door and opened it, and then two voices came from the door. Dao warm and familiar voice.

"Hey old man, it's been too long since we've seen each other!"

"Jeff, why is your expression still as rigid as a rock, it's not good!"

Standing next to the middle-aged orc, Cheng Chi looked in surprise at Sam and Wilbur who hugged and greeted Adair and Jeff. He was a little unclear about the situation, but it was obvious that the two orcs who had been expressionless just now were watching The lines on Sam and Wilbur's face softened a lot.

After a burst of warm greetings, Sam and Wilbur fixed their eyes on the middle-aged orc next to Cheng Chi, with a little awe, a little emotion, and a little nostalgia in their eyes.

The two walked up to the middle-aged orc and performed a knight salute respectfully, "My respected master, how are you doing?"

There was also a sincere smile on the face of the middle-aged orc. He bent down to help Wilbur and Sam up, patted their arms and said, "Of course, guys, how about you? I think it must be good, see Look, you're as strong as ever."

Sam and Wilbur, who have already become grandfathers, lost the majesty of the patriarchs at this moment, and their faces showed more of a kind of obedience and awe.

Sam said with some emotion, "Wilbur and I are both old and can't compare to the past. Thinking about it now, I really miss the days of hunting with the master."

Wilbur also said with nostalgia, "Yeah, I'm an old man now. If it was earlier, I could still capture the most ferocious beast for my master."

The middle-aged orc laughed, "Guys, being too modest is pride in disguise. Don't say such depressing words. When we find time, we will have a match in the forest like before. The winner can have the freshest How about meat?"

The words of the middle-aged orc probably brought back memories of Sam and Wilbur, their eyes were a little red, "D-of course..."

The middle-aged orc looked at the agitated two people, hooked the corners of his mouth, turned his head and said to Adair and Jeff who stood behind Sam and Wilbur, whose expressions were obviously a little moved, "You two come too, you know, Back then, our team was always the strongest in the main city."

The two also saluted respectfully, "Yes, master."

Feeling emotional for a while, the middle-aged orc asked Wilbur, "Is that little tiger your grandson?"

Wilbur nodded in embarrassment and said, "Yes, I only know how to mess around every day, and I'm used to it," and shouted to the door, "Come in soon? Hurry up and apologize to the city lord for your offensive behavior!" "

As soon as Wilbur finished speaking, a little tiger appeared in everyone's line of sight. Jerome first looked inside a few times, and then reluctantly walked out after receiving his grandfather's threatening eyes. He came in, followed by Ian who was still a little confused about the situation.

The two little orcs slowly walked into the living room and came to the middle-aged orc, that is, the city lord Aubrey. Jerome first opened his mouth and wailed twice, bowed his head and made a gesture of submission. Then he pretended to be invisible and stood in front of Ian who was staring blankly at Aubrey.

Aubrey looked at the little leopard looking at him, smiled slightly, bent down and hugged Ian in his arms, "Are you Ian?"

Ian looked at the strange orc that made him inexplicably familiar and kind, and hummed a few words to express his answer.

Jerome, who was on the side, saw Ian being picked up, panicked, and threw himself on Aubrey's feet, screaming and trying to get Ian off.

Jerome's action made Wilbur jump, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jerome by the back of the neck, "What are you messing around with?"

At this time, Jerome didn't care about his grandfather's reprimand, he just flapped his limbs trying to break away from Wilbur's control, and kept growling at Aubrey.

Ian naturally also noticed Jerome's condition, looked at Aubrey who just smiled and watched Wilbur teach Jerome, Ian also struggled slightly and wanted to get off the ground.

Noticing the movement of the little thing in his arms, Aubrey smiled and said, "These two little guys have a good relationship."

Wilbur has been paying attention to Aubrey's emotions, and after making sure Aubrey is not dissatisfied with Jerome's behavior, he said in a deliberate tone, "Jerome usually plays with Ian, this kid has a straight head Straightforward, don't worry about it."

Aubrey glanced at Wilbur, who was wearing three-point caution, and shook his head, "Dude, you are still so cautious," he said, putting Ian, who was fluttering in his arms and wanting to go down, on the floor, " It's good that Ian has such a good friend, he should have such a close friend."

Hearing what Aubrey said, Wilbur's expression suddenly became awkward, and he only let Jerome, who was struggling in his hands, go down without saying a word.Jerome, who didn't notice that the atmosphere had become a bit stagnant, rushed towards Ian as soon as he touched the ground, checked Ian carefully three times and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before licking Ian's face. Bite his little tail and lead him out of the room.

Cheng Chi, who had been acting as a set, watched the awkward atmosphere and groaned secretly in his heart, fearing that if there was a disagreement, there would be a bloody scene like 'pull him out and kill him'.

But Sam grinned, and slapped Wilbur on the back, "You always know that this kid has always been like this, and he still has the same personality after he becomes an old man. He looks forward and backward, and is always afraid of making trouble!"

Hearing what Sam said, Aubrey also laughed, shook his head and said, "Too careful life will always lose a lot of fun, when we go to the jungle competition together, Wilbur, you can't do this ..."

"Hey..." Wilbur replied.

At this point, the atmosphere finally improved, and Cheng Chi also let out a sigh of relief.

It was almost noon at that time, Cheng Chi left Wilbur and Sam down for lunch, everyone else at the dinner table had a good chat, Cheng Chi still tried his best to be an invisible person, only thinking in his mind that he would wait for Claude to come back Seeing the reaction of this group of people.

After dinner, Wilbur and Sam invited Aubrey to sit in their respective homes. After returning, Aubrey took a nap in the rocking chair in the living room, and Adair and Jeff sat on both sides of Aubrey as usual, His face was expressionless and he remained motionless.

Every time Cheng Chi passed by the living room and saw this scene, he would be entangled in his heart. He didn't know how long this special guest would stay with him, and he could endure it for three to five or seven days. Here again, I couldn't help but glanced at the pair of door god-like existences, and suddenly felt a headache. I don't want to relax and do things in the future.

When Claude came back, Cheng Chi was watering the flowers in the backyard with a sprinkler. When he finished watering the flowers and walked into the living room, he saw Claude looking at each other with a calm expression on the reclining chair with complicated expressions.

Cheng Chi looked at this seemingly static scene, thought for a while, and decided to say something to break the deadlock, "Hey, Claude, are you back?"

Cheng Chi's opening diverted Claude's attention, and he nodded, "Yes."

"Have you gained anything today?" Cheng Chi tried his best to talk to Claude as usual today. He poured a glass of water and handed it to Claude, "Are you tired?"

Claude took a sip from the water glass, nodded, and handed the leaf-wrapped thing to Cheng Chi, "Your favorite fruit is very sweet."

Cheng Chi took it with a smile, "Thank you," he asked again, "Are you hungry? I'll cook right away."

Maybe it was Cheng Chi's usual words that made Claude gradually relax, he showed the first smile when he entered the door, and stretched out his hand to caress Cheng Chi's face, "Well, thank you for your hard work. "

"What are you talking about? It's harder for you to hunt." Cheng Chi gave Claude an angry look, and just turned around to go to the kitchen, but then paused, turning his head to ask Aubrey, who had been looking at Claude, "You, is there anything you want to eat?"

Aubrey replied with a faint smile, "No, there is no need to do anything for me."

Cheng Chi nodded, and then asked the pair of door gods, "Where are you two?"

The two looked at Cheng Chi emotionlessly, and said in unison, "Same."

After Cheng Chi let out an oh, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Cheng Chi's departure brought the atmosphere of the living room back to when Claude just entered the door.

After a long time, Aubrey said, "Are you going to never talk to me?"

Hearing Aubrey's words, Claude clenched his fists, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Aubrey, who was looking at him with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Aubrey looked at Claude, who was [-]% similar to himself, and couldn't tell whether it was comfort or sadness in his heart, but he still replied with a smile on his face, "I'm bored, come out for a walk, and see the old man whom I haven't seen for many years." Friends, come and see my son whom I have never met, and my... lover."

Hearing the word 'lover', a flash of anger flashed in Claude's eyes, and then his face returned to calm, "It's only now, don't you think it's too late?"

Claude's emotional changes did not escape Aubrey's eyes. He lay back on the recliner, closed his eyes and said, "So, I hope he doesn't think I am too late. Soon, we will meet again... ..." The last sentence was inaudible, and if Claude hadn't been concentrating, he would almost have thought that Aubrey just moved his lips in the end.

The atmosphere of the dinner was obviously not as happy and harmonious as at noon. Everyone finished the dinner in silence. When Cheng Chi was troubled about how to ask the three people about their accommodation, Wilbur and Sam came to Cheng Chi and Claude's room again. Home.

"No, I want to be at the master's side."

"Me too."

This was the answer Wilbur and Sam gave when they asked Adair and Jeff to live with them.

The two who were rejected were not discouraged. Sam stepped forward and put his arms around Jeff's neck, "Hey, buddy, we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't we take this opportunity to have a good chat?"

"Yeah," joined Wilbur, "you know, we used to talk all night long about dawn."

When the two were still about to refuse, Aubrey said, "You go, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know when I will see you next time. It is always a pity to miss it."

Aubrey spoke, and the two agreed, but Jeff was still worried, "Then you?"

"Stay here," Cheng Chi said, seeing everyone's eyes on him, Cheng Chi smiled, "If you don't mind, you can share a room with Ian."

Aubrey still had a faint smile on his face, "That would be great."

The issue of the night's accommodation was agreed upon, and Sam and Wilbur left with Jeff and Adair, who looked back at every step.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Chi brushed his hair and entered the bedroom from the door, and said to Claude sitting on the bed in a daze, "Ian and Mr. Aubrey hit it off, and the two are still talking."

Claude, who was drawn back by Cheng Chi who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Cheng Chi with complicated eyes, and asked after a long time, "Why did you keep him?"

Cheng Chi didn't listen to the movements of his hands, and looked at Claude with strange eyes, "Why not?"

"I..." Claude wanted to explain, but he found that he seemed to have no reason, so he finally closed his mouth.

"Okay, go to bed early, don't you have to pay homage to Daddy tomorrow?" Cheng Chi glanced at Claude with a conflicted expression, patted his hand, and said.

That night, Claude tossed and turned sleeplessly, until it was dawn, he held Cheng Chi in his arms and squinted his eyes for a nap.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Cheng Chi held Ian in his arms and watched Claude take Aubrey to the place where Bernie was buried. He sighed and returned to the house until they were no longer in sight. .

Why keep him?It's just seeing the admiration in your eyes that you're trying to cover up, and it's just that you don't want you to regret it in the future because of the awkwardness in your heart.I only hope that this time, you can get the love that was overdue.
