Yuno's success is half luck and half intelligence. Cheng Anlang doesn't win every game either. Every time Cheng Anlang loses, Ya Ya laughs merrily.
Cheng Anlang threw out a flipped object, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and casually glanced at the time: "!!!"
"Oh no! Why is it so late! Don't your owner know to come pick you up?!"
"Gah..."
Duck casually tossed a card: What is the owner?
The lizard and the radish powder seemed completely unaffected.
Holy crap!
Without saying a word, Cheng Anlang threw down his cards and sent a message to Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu's muffled voice came from the other end: "What's wrong..."
Cheng Anlang immediately realized: How could he just fall asleep like that! His mutated beast is still here with me!!!
Cheng Anlang: "Um... why hasn't anyone come to claim the lizards and the others...?"
Zhang Mingyu: "I forgot..."
Cheng Anlang: ??? What are you talking about? How could you forget something so important?!
However, he didn't shout it out. He whispered, "What should we do? The dormitory doors are all closed. Will the person who picked up the mutated beast climb through the window?"
Zhang Mingyu: "Let them sleep at your place for the night... then come find me tomorrow morning."
Cheng Anlang: You really don't have any worries...
Cheng Anlang hung up the call; that was all he could do for now.
He turned to look at the mutated beasts scattered on the ground, sighed, and picked up the cards: "Stop playing, it's time to sleep, I have class tomorrow."
He folded up the extra blankets and sheets on the table, making a makeshift nest, and then quickly rinsed the lizards and put them inside.
"hiss--"
Luo Sifen formed a circle around the lizard and duck: It's a bit crowded...
"Quack".
The lizard can only reluctantly shrink a little smaller.
They haven't slept together in a long time. Their homes are very close to each other, and even if they play until late, they can get home in just a few minutes. The servants at their homes are open 24 hours a day to wait for them.
"Gah."
The duck stretched out its wings and hugged the lizard.
Cheng Anlang, covered by the blanket, looked at the mutated beasts sleeping soundly and without any guard: The mutated beasts at the top of the Star Alliance's power are sleeping right next to me... If I do something even slightly irrational, Zhang Mingyu and the others will be severely weakened. It seems they really trust me...
Cheng Anlang slept well for the first half of the night, but in the second half, he kept dreaming that someone was chasing him with a big rock and throwing it at him. He would wake up with a start, and when he opened his eyes, he would see Cheng Dahua's big head with drool dripping down his face, the saliva curving and wetting the sheets.
Before Cheng Anlang could scold him, he felt a tightness in his chest. He looked closely and saw that Luo Sifen was fast asleep, curled up on his chest.
Cheng Anlang: The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a snake pressing down on my chest. Luckily, it was a mutated beast...
Before he could say anything, he felt something was wrong in the bed. His hand under the covers moved and touched soft feathers.
"!!!" Cheng Anlang suddenly lifted the quilt, and Luo Sifen was caught off guard and was pulled down, revealing Ya Ya Chi Hong's warm body under the quilt.
Cheng Anlang's expression twisted in pain: I actually slept with a duck all night! Wait, where's the lizard?!
He looked towards the nest he had built, and saw the lizard curled up in its blanket, fast asleep.
Cheng Anlang felt relieved: Fortunately, Lizard was still a sensible person.
He quickly lifted the duck by the neck to wake it up, then washed the radish powder again, and sent a message to Zhang Mingyu asking him to come and pick up the beasts. However, Zhang Mingyu said that the mutated beasts could leave on their own.
The mutated beasts were huddled together, seemingly talking amongst themselves. Cheng Anlang didn't have time to pay attention to them; he simply packed up their belongings and prepared to send them away.
"Don't play cards with your owner when you get back."
After Zhang Mingyu told him last time that the mutant beasts wouldn't accept robots bathing them, Shen Rui contacted him again and gave him a good scolding. The content was nothing more than that Ya Ya only allowed Shen Rui to bathe it, and no one else would do it. He said that he had corrupted the mutant beasts, etc. Cheng Anlang curled his lips and rolled his eyes. If you think he corrupted the mutant beasts, then don't send them over anymore.
If he goes back this time and wants to play cards with his master, they're too busy to play, and Shen Rui will probably give him a good scolding again. He shouldn't blame Shen Rui for scolding him back then...
Cheng Dahua bit his sleeve.
Cheng Anlang looked over: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Dahua pointed at the lizard and jumped around a few times.
Cheng Anlang: "You want to go with them?"
Cheng Dahua nodded.
Cheng Anlang felt a surge of emotion, tinged with sadness.
Cheng Dahua has become friends with the most valuable mutated beasts in the Star Alliance, even though those mutated beasts all look rather silly...
It no longer needs to follow me every moment...
Once it reaches the advanced combat zone, it will meet people a thousand times, ten thousand times better than me...
Cheng Anlang sighed, patted Cheng Dahua's head, and said softly, "Go!"
