Chapter 225 The Leopard Lives
Qiao Suisui quickly pulled a blanket to cover Karl's lower body and explained: "It's not about abandoning you, nor is it about leaving, but returning from here to a certain point in our past."
Karl refused: "Then take me back."
"Wouldn't that mess up the timeline?"
"Then you stay here."
Qiao Susu couldn't argue with him, so she turned to look at Zongfang.
Zong Fang lowered his eyes and asked, "Can we not go back?"
She knew that she had to leave again just after waking up, which was a bit cruel to them, but she was unwilling to accept the death of Luka, Ash and Anubis without even trying.
Qiao Susui bit her lip and thought about how to convince them, but Karl hugged her from behind. He didn't know when he put the blanket on his back. At this time, he pulled the blanket with his hands and wrapped Qiao Susui in his arms, folding his arms and the blanket on her chest, and resting his chin lightly on her head.
"I'm a sticky bug. You can't get rid of me."
Qiao Susu felt the hot chest against her back and the strong heartbeat coming from his chest, and she could not help but laugh.
"I'm not dumping you. I'm going back to find you from the past."
She explained to them until her mouth was dry and the two men remained unmoved. Seeing that no one responded, Qiao Susu looked at Zong Fang unwillingly and rubbed his calf with her foot to please him.
Ask him: "What do you think?"
Zong Fang grabbed her ankles. Her skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, which had distracted him a little since just now.
He suddenly didn't want to discuss with her whether to go back or not.
The man's thumb rubbed her ankle, causing her to itch.
Qiao Susu wanted to take her foot back, but it was too late. Zong Fang held her foot there as a warning and also to change the subject.
"Do you think the current situation is suitable for discussing these?"
Qiao Susu froze, feeling the erection there, her eyes avoided, and she subconsciously stepped back shyly.
As he stepped back, he bumped into the hard, solid chest of the man behind him.
Carl's hands were already around her waist under the blanket.
He hugged her and said angrily, "I just have one thing to say. You can go wherever you want, but you must take me with you."
Qiao Suisui couldn't stand the two men, so she could only perfunctorily say, "Okay, let me go first. We'll discuss it later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was picked up by Zongfang and placed on the bed.
He glanced at Karl and motioned him to leave. Karl laughed angrily and returned to his usual provocative and unruly self: "Why? I was here first."
Zong Fang narrowed his eyes, and the coldness around him spread little by little.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Qiao Sui Sui quickly said, "You all go out, I'm going to sleep."
Karl was full of anger, but didn't want to vent it in front of her, so he stood up suddenly. Just when Zong Fang and Qiao Susu thought he was going to leave, Karl rolled over like a rogue and rolled onto the bed.
"This is my home, what's wrong with me sleeping here?"
Zong Fang glared at him unhappily, ignored him, hugged Qiao Susu, who was lying in the middle, and held her in his arms, sleeping on her right side.
Qiao Susu was somewhat unfamiliar with the current situation.
One left and one right.
She was in the middle, and it was difficult for her to be a person. Zong Fang put his arm around her waist, and Karl was about to hook her legs.
She had never tried sleeping in the same bed with two men at the same time, but luckily the bed was big enough.
Wait, that doesn't seem to be the point.
Qiao Susu was thinking about all sorts of things in a confused manner, which temporarily alleviated some of her sadness.
Zong Fang knew her habits, and at this moment, he gently pinched the back of her neck with his hands. Karl knew that his body temperature was high, and every time he hugged her to sleep, she would complain about being hot, so he gently fanned her.
Qiao Susu was not sleepy at all. Zong Fangrou made her feel very comfortable. Her body gradually relaxed and she fell asleep after a while.
Noticing her breathing becoming even, the two men looked at each other and saw that both of them were relieved.
They had no other choice but to try their best to attract and divert her attention so that she would not be immersed in that sad mood.
Zongfang confirmed her breathing before completely relaxing.
He kissed her forehead, the deep affection and guilt in his eyes were obvious.
Karl stared at the ceiling blankly, lowered his voice and asked, “Do you really want her to go back?”
Zongfang covered her with the quilt, gently stroked her forehead with his fingers, and whispered: "If you don't let her try, it will be difficult for her to let go."
The next day, Qiao Susu planned to go to Xuyan to find Lan Ze first, and then slowly convince Zong Fang and Carl about going back in time, but before leaving, she was tripped.
Zongfang held the laptop and said to her, "The school called and said Harveys bullied his classmates."
Qiao Suisui was confused for a moment, "Harvest?"
"Naonao. He's grown up now and doesn't like people calling him by his nickname."
Qiao Suisui understood what was said. She was still a child who had just grown up. It was too early for her to take on the role of a mother. However, she thought that she had to fulfill her obligations, so she changed her plan and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Carl used the magic weapon to lead them to the school. Zongfang had attended Josiah's parent-teacher meeting before, so he was familiar with the route. The three of them went directly to the principal's office.
On the way, Zong Fang explained the situation of the cubs to her. Because Josiah and the others had been in Zong Yan's care for these years, they had been attending the school directly under the Federation Central Government, which was the one they were in now. The four of Harvis and the six of the Liberi royal family had been studying in the Royal School of the Oslan Empire for the past few years. It was only after Liberi's accident that Zong Fang transferred them to the Federation Central School.
As soon as Qiao Susu entered the principal's office, she saw a row of young boys standing against the wall. They had bruises on their faces and arms, and each of them looked angry.
The other party's parents had already arrived, waiting to settle accounts with them. They said unceremoniously: "Let's settle it privately. It won't look good if we make a big fuss. We are not short of money. We just want you good-for-nothing kids to apologize to my child."
"Why are you apologizing when you haven't even figured out the details?" Qiao Susu felt puzzled.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the teenagers who were standing against the wall as punishment all looked over. At first, their eyes were blank, but after a few seconds, they were all filled with disbelief.
"Mother."
One boy's eyes were red and he stared at Qiao Susu and cried out.
Qiao Suisui blinked her eyes, seeing these middle school-aged boys, none of them could make her think of the furry little lion she was when she was little. All creatures are cute when they are young, and Qiao Suisui may have some maternal love for them, but after they grew up, they became "cubs", and she hadn't spent more than ten years with them, so it was difficult for her to switch identities for a while.
Karl was even more excited. He just stood aside leisurely, holding Qiao Suisui's hand and playing with her fingers. Looking at the group of half-grown boys in front of him, he remembered his experience of fighting in school before. He felt that it was nothing. It was a necessary process. It was really boring to ask parents for help at every turn.
The family members of the students who were injured by Harveys would never have thought that among these three people, only Zongfang was a real parent.
Zongfang used his aura to directly shock the parents who were holding the child accountable. He glanced at the injuries on the child's face and body, turned around and asked one of the children standing by the wall: "Harvey Scorsese, explain yourself."
The brown-haired boy in the middle raised his head, and the fear of being called by his name made his body subconsciously stiffen.
But he reacted quickly, pointed at the boy with anger on his face, and said, "He was the one who provoked me first!"
On the last day of August, give me all the tickets, and let us enter a cool September hand in hand~
