Top group pet: I am a national treasure in the beast world

Chapter 176 The family atmosphere in their house has always been like this
Their father stared at them, sternly speaking, and asked in an interrogative manner: "You came back so late, what did you do?"

"I went shopping in the mall." Even when facing his father, Xiao Hengyan's attitude was the same as that of her, and walked straight to the second floor with a cold face, "I'm going to change clothes."

The mother's attitude was a little gentler, but she never moved her eyes from the laptop screen: "Dinner is about to start, I asked Aunt Zhu to buy some seafood, remember to come down and eat."

Xiao Hengyan didn't turn his head back: "Got it."

The atmosphere of this family has always been like this. The sons raised by the two indifferent couples are just as indifferent as they are. Xiao Xingxing, who is sandwiched between them, really walks on thin ice every day. Pay no attention to them.

But that's okay, she can also sneak upstairs to change clothes.

So Xiao Xingxing trotted up the stairs following his brother's footsteps.

"Star."

Downstairs, her father's voice was like a cold rope around her neck, making her breathless and froze on the stairs.

"You're going to be in your third year of high school soon, don't always spend your mind on having fun."

"Although we don't expect you to be successful, don't embarrass us outside."

"..." Xiao Xingxing lowered his eyes, "I see."

Just two sermons are a gift from her father this year, and she is used to it.She continued to walk towards her room and turned the corner, only then did she find Xiao Hengyan standing in the corridor, looking at her with the posture of twisting the doorknob, hesitating to speak.

"... After dinner, I will call you."

"Ah."

Xiao Hengyan watched her enter the door, feeling sullen and heavy in his heart.

...

"..."

Xiao Xingxing's room in this house is very clean and simple. The wardrobe, bookshelf, desk, low table, and bed are the most error-prone black, white, and gray colors. Everything simply doesn't look like the room of an adolescent girl... without any traces of life.

But it's normal, she usually lives in school and only goes home once every half a month. This room is more like her hotel.

Looking at it this way, she kind of misses the pink lace room in the research institute. Although the pink is a little pink, it is... much warmer than here.

She put the bear on the bed, squatted on the edge of the bed and poked its face: "Orpheus, are you inside?"

"I'm here." The little bear... It should be Orpheus who replied quickly, and manipulated the little bear to stand up and waddle, and quickly adapted to this body. With a slap, the little paw covered the back of her hand.

"Have they...always been like this?"

"what?"

"your parents……"

She smiled and squeezed the soft paw of the little bear: "It's not sad, I've gotten used to it a long time ago."

But these words didn't comfort him, Little Bear lowered his head, looking even sadder than her, and said something in a very low voice: "I'm sorry..."

Xiao Xingxing didn't hear clearly, but Xiaoxiong raised his head and hugged her hand: "Xingxing, don't be sad, I will be with you."

"..." She smiled and touched his head, "Then when can we leave here? Mr. Lane and the others will be worried."

"Actually..." Orpheus (bear bear version) scratched his head with his empty paw, "I can feel the signal of the imprint is nearby, why don't we find them first and then go together?"

"What does it mean to be near here?" Xiao Xingxing didn't quite understand, "They are also here...does it mean in this illusion of human time?"

"Uh...yes." His voice was weak, "They are all here, maybe in other forms...?"

"Ahem...Actually, I don't really understand the current situation. After all...After all...the core is ever-changing, no one can say for sure, right?"

"..." Is it right... Why does she feel that Orpheus is weird.But forget it, Xiao Xingxing thinks that he is also a person who has seen big wind and waves, so let's accept this setting for now.

"Okay, I see. That means we might have to stay here for a few more days, right?"

"Well...don't be afraid, it won't be too long...should be."

She sighed, stood up, found clothes from the closet, and planned to change the school uniform on her body.

As soon as he unbuttoned his collar and opened his hem halfway, he heard a muffled thud behind him, followed by a panicked, high-pitched voice: "Xing, Xingxing! I'm still here! How could it be so sudden? Change clothes——!"

Too bad, because the little bear looks so cute, she forgot that the core is an adult male.

The little bear covered his eyes and lay on the bed, his tail was shaking with embarrassment.

"I covered my eyes, change them!"

"No peeking."

"I won't peek!"

She couldn't help snickering, and quickly changed her clothes.Coincidentally, it was also at this time that the door was knocked, and a cold voice sounded from behind the door: "Go down to eat."

"coming."

Orpheus was silent the moment the door knocked, and sat on the head of the bed maintaining the posture of the doll itself.

Xiao Hengyan stood outside the door, it looked like he had just changed his clothes and washed his face, his forehead was wet with broken hair.He inadvertently glanced into the room, then looked at her again: "Who were you talking to just now?"

"No one, I didn't say anything." Xiao Xingxing came out of the room and closed the door, "Parents are going to wait, let's go."

"..." The moment the door closed, Xiao Hengyan only saw that the little bear sitting on the bed was particularly conspicuous.

...

On the square dining table, the parents still sat on one side, and she and Xiao Hengyan sat on the other side.After the aunt and aunt brought the last big dish to the table, they went back to the kitchen to eat by themselves, leaving the four people at the table who were obviously family members, but the atmosphere was always frozen like frost.

Today is a rare day to get together for a meal. The dishes are rich, and I bought a lot of seafood, lobster, abalone, Dongxingban...it looks delicious.

But in fact, Xiao Xingxing doesn't like seafood very much, and Xiao Hengyan...it seems that he doesn't like seafood very much either. He always frowns involuntarily when eating fish.But my father didn't notice these details. In order to show his superficial fatherly love, he picked up the fish and sent it to his bowl.

"You like fish, eat more."

"..." He seemed a little impatient, but he held back, "Thank you, Dad."

Taking this as a signal, the conversation between father and son began.

"Hengyan, you are a sophomore now, right?"

"Yes."

"It's just a junior year next year. I've already arranged the internship for you. Although you are my son, you have to start from the grassroots level when you come to the company to exercise your ability. I know you have strong learning ability and professional skills. But if you want to manage a company well, you are still far away.”

"You are my only heir, don't let me down."

"……Yes."

The annoying preaching became an alternative seasoning for this dinner, and in an instant, even the most delicious meal became dull.Xiao Xingxing saw that his hand holding the chopsticks was tightened, and he was only eating rice from the beginning to the end.The blazing light cast by the ceiling lamp hit the top of the head, the shadow of the forehead hair covered the eyes, and the eyes were dim.

Although Xiao Xingxing didn't eat many meals with her brother, she also knew that they didn't like seafood.

"Don't talk while eating." The mother finally looked away from the vibrating mobile phone screen, and put a piece of abalone into his bowl, "Heng Yan is my son. A son who spends money and energy to cultivate will never disappoint - are you right, Heng Yan?"

He didn't answer this time, he got up and went to the refrigerator, took out three cans of beer and a can of fruit soda, and handed them one by one. Of course, the fruit soda was for her: "Dad, Mom, New Year's Eve is coming soon , want to drink together?"

"No." My mother pushed away the beer, and what she saw with her eyes behind the thin-rimmed glasses was always work, work, and work, "I have to go to the company later. Let your dad drink it."

Their father's body has become much weaker due to years of entertainment and high-intensity work. In addition, he is preparing to abdicate and let Xiao Hengyan take over the company. He has been deliberately recuperating his body and reducing his working hours in the past six months.Naturally, the wine has not been touched for a long time.

"Okay, then I'll have a drink."

Xiao Hengyan pulled the buckle and poured it into the glass. The yellowish beer was bubbling and bubbling. The world seen through the glass was distorted and ugly.

"Dad, I respect you."

"it is good!"

After two glasses of beer, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the picture is beautiful-perhaps only at this moment, they look more like a "family" in the universal sense.

At the end of the meal, my mother was the first to leave. After putting on a suit jacket, the woman did not look like she was at this age at all. I have to go to City X for a business trip... By the way, Xing Xing."

Finally, Xiao Xingxing, who had been acting like a transparent person, was finally rang. His mother remembered something and pointed to the bag on the tea table that looked like a gift box of skin care products, without any expression: "That is the gift box of skin care products from Mr. X, you can use it." Bar."

"..."

It was a very sparse and ordinary conversation, but for some reason Xiao Hengyan's expression became a little weird, and so did his father, which was intriguing.Xiao Xingxing nodded: "Okay, thank you mom."

"...Remember to finish your homework. I'm leaving."

After leaving this sentence, the mother rushed away with her bag, leaving only silence in the house.
