Lin Chen tied the bandage in his hand a bit tighter and scooted away a little, he didn't know why it was always him who would get on the wrong side of Su Wan's uncles maybe he need to have his horoscope checked and tested whether or not he was born to oppose these big Buddhas or he was just flat unlucky when it came to his wife's family but right now he needs to scoot away a little more, so as to get avoid getting bitten. Lin Chen thought he was doing a rather good job until Lin Jing caught the scruff of his neck and pulled him back -
" Eldest brother, I have been bitten enough," said Lin Chen but he might have as well whispered because even with the stubborn authority in his voice, Lin Jing didn't even glance at him.
" That's right you have already been bitten so a little more doesn't matter" pulling him close Lin Jing smiled dotingly " Be a good boy and protect your elder brother "
' Damn you !! So you are thinking of making me your shield ?'Lin Chen was horror-struck at the thought that his Elder brother was actually using him as his human shield. Who said that elders protected their young? There was no such thing as a responsible adult in this world it's all about the betrayal of trust, wasn't it?
Lin Jing ignored the blaming glare of his brother, he was of course not afraid of the cats .. no, he wasn't and nor was he afraid of their sharp bloody claws -
" meow" the tabby cat purred and Lin Jing had to use every bit of his courage to not jump on the sound of that annoying little furry head. Ever since he was attacked by a wolf, he was not rather fond of anything with claws or fangs but these cats - these hell breakers were something that he really hated, when he was a child, he was attacked by a furry ball of menace … and had to stay inside the house for three weeks, all because he tried to feed it! What kind of creatures were they? You try to feed them and they take a chunk of your own flesh? Sorry, he would rather sacrifice his brother for these things than deal with them.
And that was because he hated them not because he was scared of them!
" So where is she ?" Asked Shen Zizhen and Lin Jing very conveniently pushed Lin Chen ahead of him as he told Shen Zizhen about Su Wan's accident and then-
Everything turned silent before " kyopon," said Shen Zizhen and the grey cat with a white underbelly jumped at Lin Chen's face just as they all expected.
" Hiiiiya!!!!!!!" Screamed Lin Chen once again and all the villagers turned to look in the direction of the Lin House wondering what exactly was going on with the brothers that they were screaming so loudly.
" Why? why it's always me?" Muttered Lin Chen darkly as he sat in the corner nursing his wounds, he must get his horoscope checked damn it! Or maybe the next time the last, remaining uncle of Su Wan comes to ' check up on her, he might try to run away from home and stay in the forest. He might be able to survive on wild berries and animals but if he stayed here, he might really get killed!!
" So you are Wan Wan's eldest husband?" asked Shen Zizhen looking up and down at Lin Jing, because it was not appropriate for Shen Zizhen to meet with Su Wan while the latter wasn't dressed properly, he could only send his wife to look for Su Wan while he stayed behind with his three cats who sat on his head, Lap and shoulder.
" Yes, I am " though Lin Jing was rather a scar- no bursting with anger at the sight of the three cats, he still kept his voice firm and responded appropriately without any tremors in his voice. He couldn't show any unsightly side to his wife's uncle!
" Hmm" pondered Lin Zizhen then he looked at Lin Chen who immediately raised his guard up.. no way, there was no way, he was going to scratch this time, this time he will dodge he will definitely dodge! There was no way he was going to sit still for those three menaces who were after his blood to claw him! At the same time, he wished that Shen Zizhen would unleash those horrors on his elder brother who was completely scratch-free.
Why should he be the only one who suffered?
Lin Zizhen then turned his gaze back on Lin Jing and Lin Chen silently cheered but then " I like you, you have more guts " Meow?Meow ?what? What did he just say? What did this man just say?/? More guts? Excuse me? He took the full brunt of the attack while his brother just stayed behind him, this human shield yet he was the one with more guts? Why?
Damn it! He will certainly have his birth chart checked let him see just what sin has he committed towards the Shen Family!
" Thank you, " said Lin Jing, Shen Zizhen nodded then clapped his hands and a servant standing on guard came with a wicker basket that was spitting even more wildly than the three on his lap, Shen Zizhen took the basket from the servant and handed it to Lin Jing who stiffly took it.
" This is a Manul " explained Shen Zizhen with an expression of great pride " it is one of the most threatening and dangerous cats that I know, its really hard to tame but as long as it accepts someone as its master, it will be extremely loyal to them …of course, that's really hard to do when its a wild one, this one is a kitten that my favourite manul cat gave birth to it has been domesticated and really cuddly like her mother but fierce at the same time, I still remember that when I tried to catch its mother, she nearly chewed out my arm" sighed Shen Zizhen with a reminiscent sigh " because they are fierce I can't let Wan Wan take care of it alone, but it's good that you have guts … only a gutsy person can raise it"
Lin Jing "..." ?????
Lin Chen "…..." >.< finally, revenge !!! Muahahaha
