picked up a little dumb

Chapter 10

An Yang patted his thigh, Xiao Ning hesitated for a moment, thinking that this meant allowing him to lean on, so he carefully moved over and rested his head on his lap, his hot little face pressed against his lap through a layer of clothes. The skin was a little hot, and Xiao Ning's breath sprayed on his body lightly with hot air, and it was still a little itchy.

An Yang gently stroked Xiao Ning's back with his left hand, and slowly ate with a fork in his right hand. Xiao Ning didn't feel hungry even though he had a high fever, and just looked at him quietly and intently, like a poor begging puppy.

An Yang tried his forehead with his hand, and lifted up the few bangs that stuck to his forehead, revealing his entire face.Xiao Ning's forehead is smooth and full, and the sharp chin can be hooked with a single knuckle. His skin is fair and tender, so that the whole face is exposed, making him look more immature.An Yang could tell that Xiao Ning actually still had some baby fat, but she had suffered too much recently, and there was no flesh left on her cheeks, making her look a little younger than her actual age.The teenage boy curled up on the ground like a kitten, taking up no space and making no noise.

Xiao Ning's eyes are round, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and there always seems to be a little water in the bottom of the eyes. It really looks a bit like a cat, or a kitten who is ignorant, afraid and curious about humans.

It will be more beautiful when raised up in the future, An Yang concluded in his heart.

"Are you hungry?" An Yang scratched his nose, Xiao Ning shook his head, and smiled at him weakly, as if to comfort him, I'm fine, I'm not uncomfortable at all, there's no need to trouble me at all.

"Aren't you hungry?" An Yang looked at him pitifully, took out a small box of honey from the side of the plate, tore off the lid, took out a small spoonful of it with a spoon, and fed it to his mouth, "Have some of this, just eat it." Eat it like candy."

Xiao Ning opened her mouth to eat obediently, and licked the spoon with the tip of her tongue. Her sweet eyes were bent with a smile, and she blinked at An Yang with a bit of embarrassment, with sincere gratitude in her eyes.

He gestured with his hand to mean "thank you, master". An Yang can't understand many sign languages, but this one is easy to guess.He stroked Xiao Ning's hair and said with a smile, "Leave the dishes here and let them take them away. Go back to bed and lie down, don't catch a cold anymore."

Xiao Ning obediently lay back on the bed, took medicine on time, took the initiative to drink a lot of water, and slept lightly on An Yang's arm at night, and passed two days in a daze.

These two days are almost the happiest days for Xiao Ning since he was sold here. Although he is in a daze and can't eat, his life has become very simple, sleeping, drinking water, taking medicine, and being with his master. .The last thing that used to scare him the most is now worth looking forward to.

Xiao Ning really likes the feeling of seeing An Yang when he opens his eyes. He likes the way his big hand touches his forehead to test his body temperature. Every time he wants to chase that hand to rub it, but he is afraid that he will Will be too ignorant of the rules.

As a slave, the only thing he can do is to accept, there is no right to refuse, let alone the right to demand, he used to silently endure insults and abuse every day, any little thing can make him feel scared, a slightly more serious one Just looking at him can make him tremble all over, and now, he is not so easily afraid.

Stop dreading the beginning of each day because that finally doesn't mean the pain is coming.

He didn't dare to expect how kind An Yang could treat him. Although he had pampered himself in every possible way these two days, who would take him home just to treat him well?What he expects is very simple, just pray that this man will be a little gentle to him after having fun, pray that he will not be handled by too many people, and pray that he will not be abandoned so easily again.

It would be great if he could like himself a little bit.

But Xiao Ning knew that it was just a beautiful long-cherished wish.In fact, even a little bit is fine, as long as a little tenderness is enough for him to live contentedly.

Xiao Ning actually likes to be sick. In the past two days when he was sick, An Yang would gently rub his stomach every time he had an infusion. His hands were very strong and warm. stroking the skin in circles, as if it would take away all his ailments.

An Yang didn't even let Xiao Ning go to the ground these two days. People with fever are always sleepy, and even when they are awake, they are not energetic. He just sits on the bedside and reads a novel or newspaper. At this time, he will allow Xiao Ning Lean on your side.What Xiao Ning likes most is this time, when he gently put his face next to An Yang's hand, he can reach himself as long as he stretches out his hand, and then curls up into a ball slightly under the quilt, spending the time half asleep and half awake A long, sunny afternoon at sea.

On the third day, Xiao Ning finally got rid of his fever. An Yang looked very happy and relieved, but Xiao Ning kept looking at him secretly with a little uneasiness. An Yang wondered: "What's wrong, you always look at me What are you doing?"

Xiao Ning lowered her head timidly, and wrote on the paper: "I'm cured."

"I'm cured, no fever, are you happy?" An Yang pressed his hand on his forehead, the temperature was normal, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and the tentacles were still a little wet.I don't know if it was his illusion, Xiao Ning sweated a lot these two days, he felt that the child seemed to have a smaller fever.

"When the illness is cured, you can be beaten." Xiao Ning wrote hesitantly.

An Yang couldn't help laughing, "Why should I hit you when I'm free? Did you do something wrong?"

Xiao Ning lowered her head, "I don't know either."

He flinched and wrote again: "I thought it was because the master didn't beat me because I was sick."

An Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed him into his arms, Xiao Ning curled up in his arms, lowered her head and did not move.

An Yang looked down at the child's listless look, and thought to himself that he didn't know how bastard his former master was, and the child was almost beaten into a fool.

"Xiao Ning, look up and look at me." An Yang ordered softly, Xiao Ning raised her head obediently, her long eyelashes flickered, and she looked at him softly.

An Yang let him sit between his legs, put his arms around him and leaned towards him, lifted Xiao Ning's chin, and asked with a chuckle, "Look at me, do I look like your past master?"

Thinking of that person, Xiao Ning shivered subconsciously, looked at An Yang carefully for a while, and made sure that he was not angry, then shook her head quickly, biting her lower lip nervously with her teeth.

"Don't be nervous, come on, see clearly, I have nothing in common with that person, I'm different from him, I don't know how he treats you, but I won't just hit you casually, if I hit you because you did something wrong and need to be punished. I will not be as irresponsible as him, and I will not allow such a serious injury to your body to happen again, if it is because of my negligence that hurts you , I will not abandon you easily. Didn't Xiao Ning promise to believe me, now you look at me and tell me, can you do it?"

Xiao Ning nodded heavily, her eyes were firm and grateful.He knew that there was no need for this man to lie to him. Something like him with nothing was not worth playing with lies.

"Good baby, so good." An Yang didn't know how much he understood, or how much he dared to believe him, but seeing Xiao Ning's obedient appearance made him feel at ease, so he put his arms around him and kissed him on the face, Announced happily: "In order to reward you for being so obedient these past few days, the boat docks this evening, and I will take you down to play for a while."

Xiao Ning was held in his arms motionless, thinking about the words and the kiss just now.He kissed himself just now, and he also said that he would not belittle himself at will. Would he like himself a little bit?

Xiao Ning buried her head in An Yang's arms a little happily. He was willing to trust him with the greatest sincerity he could, but he was a little afraid that he was not worthy.

He believed that every word his master said was true, and the master's words were unquestionable. This was the truth deeply imprinted in his mind after being educated countless times, but he was such a broken and sick slave, Is it really worth his treatment?
