Xiao Nian is like a kidâs biological clock; before 9 oâclock, heâs already dead tired. Xiao Jiali carried him into the tent and went back out to sit cross-legged, gazing at the stars, the moon, contemplating lifeâs philosophy.
When Xiao Zhenyun returned, his lips were noticeably rosier than when he left, and the same goes for Si Di. Moreover, thereâs a little cut on his lower lip from biting. Though with the sentinelâs powerful healing ability, such minor wounds wonât last until tomorrow, he still deliberately let out a painful groan and frowned to show Xiao Zhenyun.
He claimed itâs him being cute, but according to Xiao Zhenyun, it looks more like heâs asking for a beating.
Because both of them left and came back with the excuse of going to the toilet, yet they return with swollen lips. Si Chu canât help but want to tease them, âDid you have a feast in the toilet?â
âAlthough he didnât dare say it out loud.
The lively atmosphere continued until late at night, reluctantly coming to an end. The five of them efficiently cleaned up the debris, piled up the trash, preparing to take it away when they leave tomorrow.
Xiao Jiali returned to the tent first, being careful not to wake up Xiao Nian. Following were Xiao Zhenyun and Si Di, the latter grinning at the two before closing the tent, forming the word âbenefitâ with his mouth. The innocent boys immediately misinterpreted, blushing and telling Si Di to quickly leave.
From childhood to adulthood, Si Di has always been Si Chuâs role model, influencing his younger brother significantly in both academics and daily life. Today, Si Diâs intimate behavior with their little uncle multiple times in front of him only fueled Si Chuâs restless thoughts.
He discreetly looked at Ye Feiran, then at the colorful feathers behind his ears, and the magnificent eye-shaped tail feathers behind him.
However, just as Si Chu licked his lips, preparing to take Ye Feiran to the tent for some real action, an unexpected event occursâ
A few little troublemakers arrived at the suburban campsite.
It wasnât the big family of burly men, including Xiao Zhenyun, who got robbed. After all, among the six of them, three had four ears, and they sported four extra tails compared to ordinary folks. Itâs clear theyâre not to be messed with. Little thieves wouldnât dare to mess around with such a group of special individuals.
The unfortunate ones were the campers from the nearby families. Some came for a friendly gathering, while others were small families of three. Almost all of them had lost money and belongings to some extent.
The first camping family, upon discovering their missing items, initially approached their neighbors with suspicion and a warning. To their disappointment, they found out that the others had also been visited by the thieves, and their situation was even worse. An entire suitcase was gone, and they were missing a camera worth 150,000.
They proceeded to the next family, only to find a similar scenario. The group of people walked along, questioning each household, and when they gathered in front of Si Chu and the others, there were already four waves of victims.
As the six men and women approached, they saw the two men in front of them, one with extra ears and the other with feathers behind his ears.
âSpecial individuals?â The leader yelled with excitement.
He quickly told them about the theft and advised them to check their belongings as well.
âNo way,â Ye Feiran said, tying up the trash bag and lowering his eyes. âIf thieves could take our things, then this sentinel next to me might as well resign from the union and go home to sell sweet potatoes.â
Si Chu: ââ¦â
Regular people couldnât distinguish which one among these special individuals was the sentinel and who was the guide. Upon hearing Ye Feiranâs words, they immediately turned to the man with the standing ears, asking if, as a sentinel with heightened senses, he had noticed anything unusual during this time and if there was a way to catch the despicable thief.
In the eyes of ordinary people, sentinels are extraordinary beings capable of seeing in all directions and hearing from all angles, with the universe under their control. They can effortlessly run at speeds of 300 meters per second, cross the equator overnight, eliminate enemies from a thousand miles away, with eyes that see infrared, penetrate clothing, and even perceive thoughts. They can hear the clear sound of a personâs breath from ten kilometers away, and no movement escapes their vigilant gaze.
âYou seem to have some misconceptions about us sentinelsâ¦?â Si Chu expressed his confusion.
âDonât sentinels have keen noses?â one of them said. âCan you come to our place, take a stroll, and see if thereâs any suspicious smell?â
âWhat does a suspicious person smell like? And what youâre describing sounds more like a police dog.â Si Chu finished speaking just as he heard two light calls. He looked down, meeting the gaze of his Czech Wolfdog. The wolf-dog, Xiao Mu, let out two more barks and wagged its tail lazily.
Even regular people could sense the eager anticipation of âLet me go, let me goâ from the dogâs face.
âWell, why donât you give it a try?â Si Chuâs words had just landed, and Xiao Mu darted off across the grass, heading towards the nearest tent of the camping neighbors.
Only now did the six ordinary people who had lost their belongings react, hastily chasing after.
At that moment, a black wolf with a yin-yang face jumped out of the largest tent in the middle. It cast a look at Si Chu and Ye Feiran that seemed to say, âYou guys are really making people uneasy,â then disappeared into the night like a shadow, evidently going to protect Xiao Mu.
Two seconds later, a golden stag urgently pushed open the tent with its long antlers, its hooves scrambling, calling out anxiously. It seemed afraid of missing out on the excitement, exerting every ounce of effort as it sprinted towards the direction where Xiao Mu was.
ââ¦â Si Chu was not only once surprised by this stag, whose temperament clashed sharply with Xiao Zhenyunâs, and he believed he would continue to be surprised by its persistence.
ââ¦Does Ye Zi want to join in the fun too?â Si Chu asked, referring to Ye Feiranâs peacock.
âI guess notâ¦?â Ye Feiran tentatively released the peacock. Surprisingly, the usually noble, self-loving, and gracefully poised peacock seemed to be infected by the atmosphere. It flapped its wings, unable to fly very high, clapping them together while chasing after the high-speed deer.
A light laughter came from inside the tent, âDetective Woof Woof Team.â
Then the laughter was interrupted by a sticky and low, hoarse voice complaining, âNot focusedâ¦â
Si Chu and Ye Feiran glanced at each other, blushing once again. Si Diâs comment had rekindled the thoughts they were interrupted from by the sudden situation.
However, they misunderstood Xiao Zhenyun and Si Di. The so-called âbenefits in the tent at nightâ were just pure mental groomingâgrooming all night long. They hadnât done anything inappropriate, just a clear and innocent mental grooming.
Xiao Zhenyun suddenly thought of something and interrupted the mental grooming to send a message to Si Di: Stop teasing them. In the novel, Si Chu and Ye Feiran officially and permanently bond in the hospital after the ceremony. Donât provoke them into bonding today; the administrator will be furious when he wakes up tomorrow.
Si Di: I know. They wonât.
Xiao Zhenyun: Are you sure? Young people in their twenties, at an age where even facing a tree hole can lead to wild thoughts. Theyâre alone in a tent together. How can you be so sure there wonât be any accidents?
Si Di: Little uncle, Iâm also a young person in my twenties, at an age where even facing a tree hole can lead to wild thoughts⦠and more. Blame you. After you messed with me, I can even have wild thoughts facing a thicker tree branch⦠Itâs all your fault; you have to take responsibility.
Xiao Zhenyun: â¦Iâm an almost forty-year-old man about to enter the elderly stage. Even if you strip naked and wiggle your butt in front of me, I can remain calm as if meditating.
Si Di: Heh, so youâre trying to trick me into imagining you naked, huh?
Xiao Zhenyun: â¦Grown up, not easily fooled anymore.
Not even ten minutes later, barking suddenly echoed in the distance, one after another, continuous.
Xiao Zhenyun couldnât hear anything else, just vaguely as if he heard some arguing among people.
But to Si Di, it was crystal clear. Those mismatched wolf ears twitched, and his lips curled up, âFound the thief. They were blended in with the group that just arrived, disguised as a small group of people who also came to camp. Xiao Mu directly dragged out that expensive camera from under their car.â
âThey got angry, grabbed sticks to hit the dogâ¦â No hint of urgency appeared on Si Diâs face. âXiao Mu dodged, bit the guyâs calf⦠Hahaha, Tian Lu cornered him, bumped his butt, and the guy went flying⦠Ye Zi, Ye Zi is wide-eyed on the side⦠Hahahaâ¦â
The theft incident had caused a commotion for quite some time. After the spiritual bodies found the stolen items, the thieves, ashamed and angry, resorted to yelling and hitting. They soon discovered they couldnât even beat a dog and a deer. The insults they shouted at the dog were incomprehensible to the animals, and it made them seem not very intelligent.
Seeing that the police were about to arrive, and their escape was hindered by the dog, one thief thought of abandoning his accomplices and fleeing alone. However, before he could take two steps, a medium-sized carnivore with eyes that emitted green light at night blocked his path.
Ten seconds later, the thief nervously ran back and confessed.
The Woof Woof Team was still enthusiastically observing the blissful lives of ordinary people. Meanwhile, their owners had already sealed the deal.
Xiao Zhenyun and Si Diâs tent was pitched in the middle, with Xiao Jiali and Xiao Nian on the left. The two kids, without any emotional troubles, had already fallen fast asleep. However, the atmosphere in the right tent was noticeably less tranquil.
Xiao Zhenyun, who had agreed to uninterrupted mental grooming all night, stopped for the second time. He looked quietly at Si Di, who originally had a lazy and confident demeanor, urging his guide to continueâ¦
After a while, Si Di slowly furrowed his brows, sitting up straight.
Si Di: Could it be, are they really doing it?
Xiao Zhenyun didnât know if it was true, but the commotion had reached a point where even he could hear it, and it seemed like the situation was about to escalate.
Si Di: â¦Should we stop them?
Xiao Zhenyun: Yes.
Si Di: Isnât that a bit unethical? Putting oneself in othersâ shoes, Iâm getting angry already.
Xiao Zhenyun: The male protagonists are just holding it for a month, but this world can live for a few more billion years because of it. Which is more important? I think you can distinguish.
Si Di: Your way of speaking is becoming more like Xiao Nianâs.
Xiao Zhenyun: Just copying his classic quotes.
Si Di: â¦
Xiao Zhenyun: This is your fault, so you handle it.
Si Di: â¦Disturbing the bonding will face retribution.
Xiao Zhenyun: It wonât, it wonât.
Si Di: Then you go.
Xiao Zhenyun: Iâm afraid of facing retribution.
Si Di: â¦
One minute later, Si Di knocked on the tent next door and said in a low voice, âXiao Chu, are you asleep?â
The voice inside the tent stopped for a moment, and after a while, Si Chuâs voice, trying hard to sound patient, came from inside, âWhatâs wrong, Brother?â
âXiao Chu, Brother canât sleep. Can you keep brother company and chat?â
