Chapter Text
Instead of Shen qingqiu feeling dirt around him he feels a cold cement floor every time he moves his body aches as he tries to call out for the system but his cracked lips and dry throat won’t allow anything to come out as he looks up and sees a small window
As he gets up and nearly falls back down as he examines this body and thinks
“System what is this,why am I not in the mushroom body and where am I?”
As the cyan rectangle appears in its robotic tone sounding similar to google translate
“Power source not detected cannot answer.”
“Well how long will I be in this body?”
“Power source not detected cannot answer.”
It says again before powering off
As Shen yuan looks for ways to escape
Shen yuan looks back at the smaller window gets up on his tippy toes and tries to leave from where ever he is.
As soon as he gets on the ledge someone barges in the room as he hears the man run towards him
And uses all his power to push himself through the window
As he falls face first crimson red drips from his nose as he feel tears threatening to fall as he hears the man yell for backup because of a “runaway slave”
As Shen yuan forces his body up despite the pain and runs as fast as his small body can take him as he runs for what feel like hours before entering a town before he can even take a breath he hears a man say “I see him!” As Shen yuan runs but falls from exhaustion before he hits the floor
Kind callous hands hold him steady as he looks up from the black robes he sees Lou binghe before he can speak the men catch up
“Ah sorry lord Lou that child is ours…”the scruffy man says and the other two back him up by saying yes
“Little one is that true,what those men say?”lou binghe says with a calm smile before lifting Shen yuan up carrying him
As Shen yuan gulps before speaking clearing his throat and licking his lips “No those men trapped me and hurt me!”he says before putting his face in Lou binghes neck
As Lou binghe grips him tighter and looks at the men with a flat voice that sends shivers even down Shen yuans spine
“If you three don’t get out of my sight immediately I’ll take away for ability to see and do worse things that I’ll rather not say infront of this child.”as the three me scramble away.
As Shen yuan coughs before he speaks “thank you gege.”he says nuzzling closer to him
As lou binghe hums and says
“are you hungry Didi, what’s your name.”
As before Shen yuan can speak his stomach rumbles the embarrassment flushes his face
“Ah it seems Didi is hungry I’ll take you back home..unless Didi already has a home..”he says with slight disappointment
“I don’t have a home those men kept me..”Shen yuan says in a quite tone
“Ok let’s go to my home then.”
