Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 244 Once upon a time

Poison maker?

Cheng Yan’s eyes widened, and he raised his hand to punch Dotore in the chest.

"This is the food that Master made! It's delicious."

While emphasizing that it was delicious, he picked up a piece and brought it to Dotore's lips.

"If you don't believe me, try it. It's really delicious."

Dotore turned his head away and said, "No, I won't." He looked as if he would be poisoned immediately if he ate it.

"Try it."

Cheng Yan did not retract his hand, but stretched it towards Dotole's mouth. Dotole gritted his teeth, frowned tightly, opened his mouth, and swallowed the unknown object whole.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

His face turned from pale to blue in an instant, and Dotole raised his hand to cover his mouth, restraining himself from vomiting.

He struggled to squeeze out the sound from between his teeth.

"How did you grow so big eating this kind of stuff?"

It seems that he came too late, causing Cheng Yan to have to go through so much hardship.

“The food that Master prepared for me may not look good, but I love eating it.”

Cheng Yan stared at the little food left on the plate and stuffed another piece into his mouth.

"It was Master who gave me everything. Without Master, I would have died when I got here. Master is the first person who treated me well unconditionally. There is love in these foods, Master's love for me, so no matter what they are, I will eat them all."

A trace of heartache flashed across Dotole's red eyes. Looking at Cheng Yan's absent-minded look, he raised his hand to hold his shoulders.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yan suddenly turned around, and Dotole stretched out his hand, looking like he was throwing himself into his arms.

Cheng Yan hugged him and said, "Zan Zan, you feel sorry for me."

Dotore said nothing, but just hugged him tighter.

Cheng Yan chuckled, "I have never been so happy as I am now. I have my master and you all. I can face all difficulties. So don't worry, Zanzan. I am an indestructible cockroach."

Dotore squeezed Cheng Yan's hand and said, "Tell me about your past."

Cheng Yan's eyes flickered, revealing hesitation.

"Zan Zan, I don't want to lie to you, but if I tell you the whole truth, you'll probably be angry."

Dotore's forehead twitched. "...Skip the parts I don't want to hear."

Cheng Yan lay on his chest, took a deep breath, and slowly searched his memory.

"When I first came here, I met a little girl. Seeing that I was alone, she took me back to her village. That village was controlled by a demon god, and every year girls had to be sacrificed to that demon god. When I got there, it happened to be the turn of the little girl's sister."

"…I failed to save her sister. In order to let her meet her sister, I also implicated that girl and was seriously injured. At that time, I met Master."

Cheng Yan's throat was dry. "Master taught me the art of mechanical engineering and relieved the self-blame in my heart. I also asked the Emperor to teach me some skills. Otherwise, I would have died in that village and would never have seen Zanzan."

Dotole held Cheng Yan down and made him stick closer to him.

"...It's okay." From now on, I will be your support. As long as I am here, you don't need to worry about anything.

Cheng Yan wiped his tears on Dotole's collar and snorted softly.

"Humph, I've been fine for a long time. Only after Master brought me back can I enjoy happiness. I will definitely let Master enjoy happiness in the future. So, Zan Zan, you must accompany me to Liyue often in the future."

Dotole nodded slightly and reached out to wipe the slightly red corners of Cheng Yan's eyes.

Hearing someone calling the two of them from outside the window, Cheng Yan leaned over to look.

"Someone's here. We should go out."
