âIf you donât want to call us Father and Mother then thatâs fine, you only need to remember weâre your family and thatâs enough. Oh yes, we have an eternal enemy and his name is Di Cangâ¦. Heâs also the one who tried to kill you!â
Lowering his eyes to hide that frosty glint when they said that, itâs obvious Bai Xiachenâs will to murder these lying bastards has been lit.
âSisi, letâs go, we need to let him get some rest. Iâm sure heâll slowly come to accept us with time.â Making a small chuckle, Zhong Yu didnât bother to hide the malice in his voice due to the impression that heâs succeeded.
He has taken the medicine anyways so he can forget about remembering the past in this lifetimeâ¦.
âOkay.â Sisi nods and released her arms around the boy and got up from the bed, but not before giving one final glance at the sluggish looking kid who only stared at their backs while they departed.
Regaining the light in his eyes after being left alone again, Bai Xiachen restored the cunning look on his face and immediately rose from the bed. Heâs scanning his surroundings with vigilance in case those wolves returned for a third time. Once certain they arenât going to come back, the boyâs first order of business was to locate the leopard boy whoâs currently sleeping on the bed next room over.
âThose people mustâve fed Little Leopard some sort of sleeping drug.â Biting his lip like heâs tied between an idea, Bai Xiachen suddenly grew tough in the face when he pulled out a small dagger from out of nowhere. In a flick, he makes a small wound on the tip of his finger and allowed the blood to seep into the other boyâs lip.
âGood thing Mother fed me all those Dan pills since I was a baby, now Iâm immune to almost every poison out there and can use my blood to use as a antidote.â
Before long, the leopard kid fluttering those befuddled eyes opened like heâs really confused on whatâs happening: âXiachen!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShhhhhh!â In his haste, Bai Xiachen only knew to cusp his hand around the careless kidâs mouth in order to stop him from making any more noise. âDonât say anything, those wolves will hear us.â
Startled and confused, Little Leopard didnât understand what his friend meant by that but still did as told.
âThat group of bad people fed us some drug, but they didnât know Iâm immune because Iâve been eating various herbs and medicinal ingredients since I was young. I only needed a whiff to tell so I went along with their plan and used it to my advantage.â
Huffing a snort to gloat, Think they can scheme behind my back? Donât they know I am immune to all poison?
âThen shouldnât we make a run for it?â asked the leopard boy with nervous eyes.
Shaking his head: âNo, I canât just leave like this, they must pay for trying to use my against my baddie father.â
âThatâ¦â The little leopard sounded worry still.
âIâm going to wait here for Baddie Father! They want to use me so he will definitely come for me!â Evoking a sly smile, he shows off why the foxes are so cunning: âThey will work for me whether they like it or not.â
The little leopard boy continues to blink his eyes in bafflement. Although the kid doesnât understand what his friendâs trying to do, but he knows Bai Xiachen couldnât be wrong.
âOkay, Iâll stay with you here until your father comes. Iâm not leaving without you Xiachen.â
âDonât worry Little Leopard, they canât hurt you.â Patting his friendâs shoulder, the little steambun reassures the other boy with his confident smile: âAlso, I need you to keep pretending like youâve lost your memory, otherwise my plan will be exposed.â
âI understand.â The leopard kid solemnly nods to show how much emphasis he has regarding the instruction.
Done with what he needs to do, Bai Xiachen swiftly left his friendâs room like a little ghost that he was. Perhaps its how confident Zhang Yu felt about his plan working, but there were no guards or patrols placed around their rooms so sneaking around was a piece of cake.
