Bamboo mouse spirit is also trying to survive today

Chapter 37 The first bamboo mouse

"What is your relationship with Federation King Edwin?"

Bai Shu, who was drinking the nutritional supplement in a daze, choked on hearing the words, and coughed violently.

When he saw Claire stand up from the seat and walk towards him, and reached out to help him pat his back to breathe, he couldn't help coughing even more.

This inexplicable leader of the rebel army really did not play his cards according to common sense, and every behavior and behavior exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that the other party only wanted to use him to save Liu Mu, but he didn't expect that the other party came to chat with him on a special trip, and asked such a question in an astonishing way.

Coupled with the treatment of being slapped on the back by the king of the rebel army, he was really flattered and terrified.

Originally, he thought that he had already figured out Claire's mind, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Bai Shu coughed until his complexion was flushed red, and even the roots of his ears were hot.

With some difficulty, he managed to calm down his breathing, and quietly broke away from Claire's hand on his back, and sat up straight.

"...I live at his house." This was the most suitable answer he could think of.

Claire's question made him unable to think of a suitable answer, because he didn't know what the relationship between himself and Edwin was.

If he has always remained the original, then he may be Edwin's pet, but most of the time he maintains his human form in front of Edwin, and the other party still treats him very well and does everything a pet owner should do.

Thinking of Edwin, Bai Shu's heart beat a little faster, and it was difficult to stabilize his breathing.

He wasn't sure what kind of feelings Edwin had for him, he could only feel that Edwin treated him special.

And when he began to feel uncertain and worried about whether Edwin liked him or not, his own feelings had changed.

Bai Shu felt his heart beating and his mind went blank.

The memory automatically played back uncontrollably, recreating every bit of intimacy between him and Edwin before his eyes.

He remembered Adi's previous warning, telling him not to fall in love with humans easily.This is not only because it is difficult for elves and humans to live in harmony with each other, but also because human beings have a short lifespan, while elves have almost endless lifespans.

Bai Shu mentally recited Adi's name, and took a deep breath.

He has always been a well-behaved and obedient bamboo mouse, keeping everything Adi said in his heart, but this time, he failed to follow suit.

Today, under Claire's unexpected question, he finally realized a terrible fact.

He seemed to like Edwin a little, an unusual kind of liking.

Claire had a panoramic view of Bai Shu's series of expressions, her eyes dimmed.

He had already learned from the information that Bai Shu and his nephew of the Federation King were in a relationship, and now he took it out to inquire, but he just wanted to get an answer from Bai Shu himself from the other party.

This is a well-known self-inflicted disappointment.

It's a disappointment, but it's actually a strange emotion that shouldn't exist.

Bai Shu has such a close relationship with Federation King Edwin, as an enemy of Federation, he should feel happy.After all, Bai Shu is now with him, and it has become an effective bargaining chip for him to contain Edwin.

But for some reason, his heart was not as happy as it should be, but filled with inexplicable loss.

It's like just getting a piece of pure and flawless white paper, and I like it very much, but suddenly find that someone has painted on the white paper.

Claire didn't say anything more, but stood up and left the room straight away.

Bai Shu didn't watch the back of the other party leaving, but was still immersed in the noisy world in his heart.

He couldn't sleep all night, tormented by the aroused thoughts, and wanted to go back to Edwin's bed, curl up on the man's warm chest, and sleep with him.

In the early morning of the next day, Claire sent someone to wake him up. He didn't sleep well and had no time to catch up on sleep, so he hurriedly followed him to the research institute of the base that he had just visited yesterday.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he was acutely aware that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. He forcibly suppressed the desire to look back, and used his spiritual sense to investigate.

It's Claire.

Claire's room was indeed very close to him, no more than 100 meters away.

The sky was only just beginning to light up, but as the person with the highest status in the entire base, Claire had been awake for a long time.

Even though his gaze was separated by a distance of nearly a hundred meters, it still had a scorching temperature, which made Bai Shu shiver, feeling very puzzled and a little uncomfortable.

In my impression, Edwin looked at him with fiery eyes, but it didn't make him panic, it only made him feel flustered and shy.

Bai Shu rubbed his icy arms, shook his head and tried to forget Claire's gaze.

Staying here is not good at all, not only can't see Edwin, but also worry every day, trying to figure out Claire's unpredictable thoughts.

He has to get up his spirits, do things well, try to find opportunities and flaws, and strive to escape from Claire's control as soon as possible and return to Edwin's side.

As for whether Edwin likes him or not, that is something that needs to be considered slowly in the future. He has to reunite with Edwin first.

Without Claire's leadership, Bai Xia stepped into the gate of the base research institute for the second time, and what he received was more attention than yesterday.

There are both kind and bad looks in these eyes, but most of them have no obvious likes and dislikes, just looking at him objectively.

The few people who were in charge of sending Bai Shu over quickly stood in front of Bai Shu, blocking these sights for Bai Shu.

Undoubtedly, this was also ordered by Claire, and no one is allowed to look at Bai Shu wantonly.

"Your job is to take care of the only ancient earth plant in the base, please come with us." The half-escorted and half-escorted team leader turned slightly sideways, pointed to a room ahead, and said to Bai Shu.

His tone is just right and polite, it can't be called respect, nor does it appear to be contemptuous and disgusting, his attitude towards Bai Shu is not like treating his own people, but it is not simply treating captives either.

Bai Shu looked up in the direction of the other's finger, and found that it wasn't the room he went to with Claire yesterday.

The moment he stepped into the room, his eyes were almost stung by the strong light, and he quickly covered it with his hands, his eyes narrowed until there was only a gap left.

He did say yesterday that the willow trees lack light, but he really overestimated the IQ of the researchers at the base.

Judging by the intensity of the light in this room, it was simply not a place for him to stay.What the willow tree lacked was just the right amount of light, not this glare that nearly blinded him.

Bai Shu felt helpless for a while, turned his head and squinted his eyes, gestured with both hands, explained the situation to the team leader who brought him over, and was able to leave the room temporarily.

But soon, he was invited in again, and the lighting in the room had been adjusted, almost just right.

This time, he had no reason to leave the room, and was left alone, with the door slowly closing behind him.

Sensing that the others had already left and turned to watch outside the door, Bai Shu approached Weeping Willow step by step from the door, keeping the expression on his face natural, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

There must be monitoring equipment in this room, he cannot take it lightly.

[do you feel better now? ], releasing his consciousness, he asked Liu Mu how he feels now.

With sufficient light, willow should at least be less weak and have more strength.

[I...feel...better...much, but...still...not so good...], Liu Mu's voice was slightly louder than before, but it was still intermittent, as if he couldn't breathe.

Bai Shu couldn't help sighing, thinking that this is actually inevitable.

After being squeezed and used by humans for so long, Willow is about to become a bare tree. He is obviously a goblin, but he is already on the verge of death. Obviously, these injuries caused by humans cannot be alleviated by just bathing in a little light.

[I'll help you recover, but you have to pay attention, after absorbing my demon power, store it up and slowly digest and recover, don't use it up all at once, or I will be suspected by humans. ]

Bai Shu seriously warned Liu Mu.

He has a very clear understanding of his demon power, and he is very sure that he can repair the injury suffered by Liu Mu, but this repair should be done slowly, not too quickly, otherwise Claire will definitely have doubts about him.

He didn't want to reveal his identity as a goblin, especially after seeing Liu Mu's tragic situation.

Willow weakly waved its branches twice to show that he knew.

Obtaining the promise, Bai Shu walked over in two or three steps, raised his hand and lightly touched the willow branch.

He released the demon power slowly, not too violently and quickly, fearing that the weak Liu Mu would not be able to bear it for a while.

Like the rain after a long drought, the willows are frantically absorbing the demonic power of the white heat, and the branches are so excited that they sway slightly, feeling the joy of being refilled with moisture and strength.

This is a hearty feeling that has not been seen for a long time. Ever since he was locked in a small dark room to take leaves and peel the bark every now and then, he has weakened a little bit, and now he has finally regained some of the feeling of the peak period.

While absorbing Bai Shu's monster power, he heard Bai Shu asked him a question.

[You should have become a spirit relatively early, have you ever heard of a bamboo rat spirit named Baidi? ]

Liu Mu regards Bai Shu as a life-saving benefactor, and when he hears the benefactor's questioning, he naturally cannot neglect it.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything.Perhaps it was because he had lived for too long and it was difficult to remember many things. In addition, he had been tortured in this institute for so many years that his spirit almost collapsed, and he couldn't remember those old things at all.

[Can you...can...can...describe...describe... again? ]

Hearing this, Bai Shu blinked, and pointed at himself quietly with his thumb, the movement was not obvious.

[Baidi is my elder brother, and he and I are both bamboo rat spirits.The appearance of our dolls is about... [-]% similar. ]

After a pause, Bai Shu wrinkled his nose again, and added, [There is also a golden koi spirit that always haunts my brother, have you seen them? ]

In the quiet room, there is only Bai Shu's breathing.

After a long time, so long that he no longer had any hope, he heard the willow leaves suddenly "swish".

Bai Shu's spiritual consciousness was immediately lifted, and he was excited when he heard Liu Mu's voice, [I remembered! ]
