Pursuing Life Is Hard Everytime

C16: Not in the Mood to Tale a Story,

He Qian was feeling helpless now as he quietly seated at the backseat of the car. Beside him was a bull-- eherm! Tong Feng, who was looking very silent but deadly that it felt like an invisible knives was poking He Qian around him that he might accidentally died any moment if he let his breath out.

The car suddenly stopped as Captain Fu's voice reach the ears of the people inside the car. "Dong Ming, transfer at the back. Mr He, seat with me in the front."

He Qian blinked. When Dong Ming move to exchange with him he hurriedly stand to give up his seat and transfer to the front. He finally breath a sigh of relief as his nerves relaxed, his pale color going back to rosy again.

He Qian can't really relied on Xiao Xiao at the moment since the kitten seemed to enjoy the air outside as he stay at the roof of the car relaxing on the wind that was playfully tickling his furs which felt itchy and comfortable at the same time.

"No wonder the Captain let me transfer here. How are you reeking with such thick killing intent Brother Tong Feng. Their is no enemy around us yet. Calm your fucking scary nerves!" complained by Dong Ming as he maid a sign as if dusting the air around Tong Feng.

"Kid? Are you fucking cursing me?!"  said Tong Feng with a very displeased look, his gloomy face darkening even more.

"hmf!" huffed Dong Ming crossing his arms in his chest. "If you are so unhappy to go with us, you should've stayed in our base."

Tong Feng was stiff for a moment hearing it, with a tight fist and gritting teeth, he tried to endure the bitter feeling in his chest thinking that if only he did not let his self be provoked by a childish acts of a fucking idiot 'children' then he would've stayed in their base doing something productive and then chill and relax in the wind after. Now, regrets can only be dreamed of. A gentleman can never go back on his own words! And so he's here!

Xiao Xiao jump down using the open window to enter the car again as he climb in He Qian's bosom. He Qian gently hug and kiss him making the kitten hum in his kittenish little voice as he intimately lick He Qian in his face. When Xiao Xiao got tired of licking him he climb to his shoulder again and into his head to settle in there comfortably.

"Mr He, why is your cat so attached to your head?" Dong Ming, out of nowhere to vent his boredom, he noticed the person and the cat at the front seat.

He Qian doesn't mind the question. "Yeah. He loves it there like his own nest." he answered.

"Nest? That's what birds do."

"Hm.. Could be that Xiao Xiao was hatched, not born." He Qian anwered again.

"Hatched?" it was Tong Feng this time who asked as he was suddenly curios hearing that the kitten was born differently than the normal. Never heard of a Cat laying an egg so although the world was different now, hearing this kind of story still amazed him.

"Yes. Hatched." He Qian confirmed.

"What a bunch of weirdos. Aren't kitten normally born this way? What's so interesting."

He Qian almost choked on his saliva hearing the kitten's rambling as if he was hearing inconsequential conversation from ignorant humans. He Qian coughed, as to not laugh at the kitten's words. 'Xiao Xiao, you must really widen your understanding about this ignorant people, ah! They really know nothing.'

"Wow! The authenticity of life is really changing! It was too amazing and yet so scary." said Dong Ming shaking his head.

"Is that kitten the only one when you had him? Did you also warm it like how birds do to make it hatch? How big is the egg? Yeah, what about the cat that lays it?" Tong Feng asked again as his interest was really aroused by the kitten.

He Qian could feel the growing interest from the 48 year old man who seemed to be a curious child at the moment although..

"So uncute."

'Right. Not really cute since he is a big muscular old man.' but Xiao Xiao really meant by what he said uncute was that he is really regarding Tong Feng's curiosity as 'stupid'.

"*cough!* Xiao Xiao doesn't have a brother or a sister and about warming, well, he was wrapped in a thick cloth and placed in a thick small bag." that is how He Qian really remembered it. "And about the mother cat," He Qian also just heard about this story. "it was already dead.  The egg Xiao Xiao was found in the stomach of the dead cat. Egg Xiao Xiao was wrapped by it securely, probably, protecting Xiao Xiao  until it's last breath."

*Meow!*

Xiao Xiao was not sad about it's mother but he still felt appreciation and gratefulness in his heart. But, really, there is no other parent for him now but He Qian whom he see the first time he open his eyes to the world outside his shell.

"Oh. What life could awaits little Xiao Xiao if he was not found by you. How did you find him anyway? Are you already wandering around alone that time?" it was Dong Ming again who asked. But hearing the word 'wandering around alone', Tong Feng was stunned, staring at the back of the looking weak pretty boy in the front seat.

He Qian coughed again at Dong Ming's  question as to how to answer. "That,  Xiao Xiao is strong and powerful even without me."

"Oh? Then how long are you wandering alone and what really happened to you that you went missing for long?" there was really no helping with about Dong Ming's widening curiosity.

"I-I... It's all related about those culprits who take away my ability and... and I'm still not ready to talk about it." He Qian choose to answer knowing that Dong Ming will just ask more and more if he still answer him now and, he is really not in the mood to tale a story now. But, Dong Ming seems not to pick his intention

"Oh? Why? Is it too sad? Why don't you tell us more? I'm really curious about it now. Are those culprits you mention someone close to you--"

Dong Ming stopped when he realized his head was heavy, stiff, and chilly only to realized his whole hair became a frozen hair just like what happened to Yu Yan from before.

"What the fucking *********!!"
