When he returned home, Xiao Xiao was still thinking about it, feeling a sense of security rising.
With more than 300 points, he already has a fairly thick buffer zone between him and the city. If he doesn't cause trouble, he can live here safely for a few months.
Stretching his head out of the window, he could see the three vicious dogs lying on the wall looking at him.
They had just gone through a crisis with him, but they mysteriously returned to the yard. Except for a few hairs that seemed to have been burned by fire, there were no changes at all.
This also made Xiao Xiao feel the magic of this city.
It seemed that they should be rewarded. Looking at the wise eyes of the three dogs, Xiao Xiao had the idea of buying a few ham sausages and feeding them to them.
However, before he could take action, he saw a neighbor's little girl walking out with a dog basin. Several bones full of meat could be seen in the basin, and the three dogs suddenly jumped for joy.
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his neighbor rewarded him.
However, looking at the three dogs happily fighting for bones from a distance, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Although the fighting power of these three vicious dogs is indeed not exaggerated at all, ordinary vicious dogs can only bite and attack during the confrontation with the suffocated corpse, and show no other special features.
However, their loyalty exceeded Xiao Xiao's expectations.
It seems that just from their loyalty point of view, this business is already a good deal.
So, can we help strengthen them?
This idea came into Leng Buding's mind, but Xiao Xiao couldn't make a decision quickly: the enhancement was too expensive, costing a hundred points.
Moreover, after strengthening, the effect is unknown. The possibility of getting three vicious dogs with special abilities is extremely low. It is more likely that the three vicious dogs suddenly become deformed and have to be cleaned up.
Of course, once it succeeds...
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but have a little expectation in his heart. Although he was not a dog bettor, he could not help but think about the joy of succeeding in his bet...
That night, Xiao Xiao rarely had a peaceful sleep after waking up.
With these rich points, I don’t have to worry about the evil intentions of the world for the time being, and the next day is my rest time, regardless of going to work, and I feel full of happiness.
However, when he yawned and walked out of the bedroom door the next day, he froze on the spot in embarrassment.
My mother, who usually went to work in the mall at this time, was actually in the living room, basking in the sunshine coming in from the window, wrapping dumplings with her hands full of flour.
"Did I bother you?"
When her mother saw Xiao Xiao coming out, she immediately smiled and said, "I have a good day off today. I'll make you a dumpling to eat."
Xiao Xiao was a little strange. Today was probably not the time for his mother to rest. Instead, the dock where he was located was closed on Mondays every week, but it was not easy to ask.
During this period of time, he had been trying to avoid contact with this "mom", but now that he had gone out to meet her, he couldn't just go back, so he had to say "hmm" silently.
I walked to the water dispenser and took a glass of water. I felt it wasn't good, so I took the second cup and put it next to my mother.
Mom glanced at the water glass he placed next to her, her expression actually looked a little happy, and she said with concern: "There are fruits I brought back yesterday, wash some and eat them yourself."
"Why did you get up so early today?"
"..."
"It's already past ten o'clock..."
Xiao Xiao thought to himself, but if it were him who lived day and night before, it would indeed be too early?
Sitting next to the sofa was a bit embarrassing, so after turning on the TV, he sat for a while, washed his hands, and sat next to him to make dumplings.
Even if he really only has the image of a mother, he is not used to enjoying it so confidently.
"My son has really grown up."
Mom looked at the dumplings made by Xiao Xiao, which were not very pretty, but the more she looked at them, the more she liked them. She smiled and said, "Just sit here, rest, and talk to me."
"I usually work so hard, can my body handle it?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao just hummed and said nothing, still just helping.
Around twelve o'clock, my mother cooked dumplings, and the mother and son sat at the dining table, watched TV, and ate in silence.
Mom seemed to have something to say in her heart. When the meal was almost finished, she suddenly pretended to be nothing and said:
"It's your father's birthday today. You didn't like to go out before, but now you go out to work. At least you should go and sit with him in the evening."
"dad?"
Xiao Xiao was suddenly startled.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't had any contact with him.
Four years ago, he had children with another woman, divorced his mother, and formed another family.
I have no intention of seeing him. The whole world has turned into a squirming monster. Who knows what is hidden under those familiar faces.
Facing his mother at home and having daily interactions, Xiao Xiao often has some sudden realizations.
But that father... Xiao Xiao could not think of any need to go out of his way to call a monster in human skin as his father.
Now, I have actually forgotten about this matter at all. It seems that the "father" didn't call to inform me or anything.
But my mother took the initiative to mention it. It seemed that she wanted to go there by herself.
He could even feel the complicated emotions of not wanting to be too close to the man who abandoned his mother and child, but also unwilling to let go of the relationship between the child and his father.
For a long time, he just said "hmm".
But looking like this, my mother was in a better mood. It seemed that Xiao Xiao's unwillingness made her very satisfied.
"Ever since he married that woman, he has ignored us and my mother. And because you didn't go to college, he didn't even give you the promised tuition fees."
Mom babbled: "But after all, that's your dad, and you're still the eldest son. It's his birthday, so you should go over there."
"I called him and he said he also wanted to see you."
"But you should dress better. Those people's eyes are on the top of their heads and they don't look at people."
"..."
Xiao Xiao didn't really want to go, but he still agreed.
Probably, I knew those people were also monsters in disguise, but I still wanted to see how far they could act.
After eating and washing the dishes, he went back to the bedroom to surf the Internet and learn about the world through forums. It wasn't until his mother knocked on the door in the afternoon that he changed his clothes and went out.
The address was given by his mother, but Xiao Xiao just took the subway and rushed over without even making a phone call.
But when I arrived at a restaurant with classical and exquisite decoration in Yishangcheng District, I could still recognize the man sitting in the middle of the crowd at a glance, with his hair slicked back, and his temperament and clothing were outstanding.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance. The man seemed a little embarrassed. After a long time, he just nodded to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao walked over and nodded to him.
The man didn't say anything kindly, so Xiao Xiao saved himself from the embarrassment of shouting those two words to the monster.
The father seemed a little uncomfortable, but while entertaining the other guests with a smile, he pointed to the corner next to him and asked Xiao Xiao to sit there.
Xiao Xiao didn't feel displeased, he just sat down silently and looked at everything around him coldly.
However, some of the guests who came over recognized Xiao Xiao. From time to time, someone patted his shoulder with emotion and said to his father: "Is this the boss of your family?"
"Oh, I haven't seen him in the past few years. He is now so big. He is as handsome as Lao Xiao when he was young."
"..."
Sitting next to Xiao Xiao is a woman who looks to be in her thirties. Next to her is a chubby little boy who is dressed in a fashionable style. He is Xiao Xiao's half-brother in this world.
The woman seemed a little dissatisfied. When others praised Xiao Xiao, she rolled her eyes and never spoke to Xiao Xiao.
Even my father was busy greeting the guests. It wasn't until everyone was seated that he took the time to say a few words to Xiao Xiao: "It's been four years and you haven't even called me."
"Have you recovered from your illness?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao nodded and said: "That's almost it."
Xiao's father didn't really want to talk too much to Xiao Xiao, but when he saw that Xiao Xiao didn't take the initiative to talk to him in the entire audience, and answered coldly, he felt a little dissatisfied, and frowned:
"I heard from your mother that after you got sick, you've been hiding at home playing games without even leaving the house?"
"What kind of words does this sound like? People will become useless if they stay here for too long."
"If it doesn't work out, you might as well go find a job in the company these days..."
"..."
Before he could finish speaking, the woman next to him suddenly raised her voice and said to a friend next to her: "Brother Zhao, I heard that your child has been admitted to college?"
"Oh, that's her own fault..."
The friend next to him immediately smiled and spoke, everyone's attention was attracted, and the topic was stopped immediately.
"This is too true..."
After Xiao Xiao woke up in this world, he saw too many weird and weird things. Now looking at the undercurrent at the little birthday party, he had a different feeling.
Being among a group of disguised monsters, he had no intention of fighting and just observed everything silently.
On the other hand, Xiao's father, seeing Xiao Xiao's silent and distant look, felt a little angry in his heart for some reason, and seeing the woman winking at him all the time, he still found an opportunity to speak out:
"By the way, it's a good time that you came here today. Go back and tell your mother."
"That old house in Shangcheng District has been there for too long and is inconvenient to live in. You and your mother can move out later and I will help you rent a better one."
