Free Web NovelChapter 157: Chapter 157: Guys, I think I forgot how to transform back.
Then Hu Baiyu lowered his head a little more, and his eyes landed on the top of Lin Huahua’s tiny head. The urge to kiss her was so strong that he almost did it without thinking. In human form, kissing her already made him lose his sense. In this tiny animal form, she looked so small and soft that his lion instincts kept screaming at him to groom her, guard her, keep her warm, and hide her from everything that breathed.
Lin Huahua noticed the way his face came closer.
Her tiny ears trembled.
"Baiyu," she warned, though her voice came out too small to be frightening.
Hu Baiyu froze.
His eyes looked guilty immediately.
Lin Huahua’s face, if a rat face could blush, was definitely burning. "Do not look at me like you want to eat me."
Feng Yiren laughed so suddenly that his hand shook a little, though he still kept her safe. "He does not want to eat you. He wants to kiss your tiny head."
Hu Baiyu’s ears went flat at once.
Lin Huahua also froze.
Then she became shy again, because Feng Yiren was right. Hu Baiyu did look like he wanted to kiss her little head, and somehow that was even more embarrassing than being teased.
Mu Qingyi gave Hu Baiyu a gentle look. "Ask her first."
Hu Baiyu slowly lifted one hand and pointed at Lin Huahua, then at his lips, then at the top of her head.
Lin Huahua’s tiny eyes widened. "You are actually asking?"
Hu Baiyu nodded with great seriousness.
Feng Yiren muttered, "Unbelievable."
Lin Huahua looked at Hu Baiyu’s hopeful face and suddenly felt that refusing him would be like kicking a giant white cloud. So she looked away and said in a tiny voice, "Only one."
Hu Baiyu’s whole face brightened.
He leaned down with extreme care and pressed the softest kiss to the top of her tiny head.
Lin Huahua went completely still.
It was warm, gentle, and so careful that her heart squeezed. Hu Baiyu pulled back quickly, as if afraid he had taken too much, but his eyes were shining so brightly that Lin Huahua could not even scold him.
Feng Yiren looked betrayed by the entire world. "So he gets permission to kiss your head, but I get bitten?"
"You were bullying me," Lin Huahua said.
"I was lovingly teasing you."
"You were bullying me."
"I can lovingly bully you."
"No."
Mu Qingyi looked at them and shook his head with a smile, then took one last bite of the fruit in his hand, still looking like it was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.
Lin Huahua saw it and immediately remembered the important matter. "You still did not wash it."
Mu Qingyi looked down at the fruit that was already almost gone. "Next one."
"There should not have been a this one."
"It was already too precious to wait."
Lin Huahua had no answer to that because he said it so softly and naturally that her heart stumbled again.
She quickly remembered the more important problem and wiggled in Feng Yiren’s hand. "Okay, enough. I need to change back."
Feng Yiren lowered her carefully onto a clean flat stone, because even though he kept teasing her, he did not want her tiny paws touching the rough ground. Mu Qingyi placed the fruits aside and crouched nearby. Hu Baiyu also crouched, his huge body making the small white rat look even tinier between them.
Lin Huahua stood on the flat stone and tried to focus.
She wanted her human form.
She wanted her normal body.
She wanted to become tall again, or at least tall enough that Feng Yiren would stop calling her pocket-sized when he did not even know what pocket meant.
She squeezed her eyes shut and concentrated.
Nothing happened.
Her ears twitched.
She tried again, harder this time, until her whole tiny body trembled with effort.
Still nothing.
Feng Yiren’s mouth slowly opened.
Lin Huahua snapped her eyes open and pointed one tiny paw at him. "Do not say anything."
Feng Yiren closed his mouth, but his red eyes were shining.
Mu Qingyi’s expression stayed gentle, though amusement warmed his gaze. "Take your time."
Hu Baiyu nodded with great seriousness, as if transforming back was a sacred task and he would support her through it emotionally.
Lin Huahua tried one more time.
Nothing.
Her tiny face slowly became horrified.
She looked at Mu Qingyi.
Then Hu Baiyu.
Then Feng Yiren.
Lin Huahua’s tiny face slowly became horrified as she stood on the clean flat stone, staring at Mu Qingyi, then Hu Baiyu, then Feng Yiren with her tiny black eyes filled with panic.
Her voice came out small, squeaky, and full of fear. "Guys, I think I forgot how to transform back."
The three beastmen went quiet at the same time.
Mu Qingyi’s gentle brown eyes widened slightly, and his large deer ears lifted forward because he could clearly hear the real panic in her voice. Hu Baiyu, who had been crouching so close that his huge shadow almost covered her entire tiny body, froze with his lion ears perked up and his blue eyes full of worry. Feng Yiren, on the other hand, opened his mouth slowly, and the moment Lin Huahua saw that wicked red fox look forming on his face, she immediately knew this shameless beastman was about to say something that would make her want to bite his whole finger off. freёwebnovel.com
"Do not laugh," Lin Huahua snapped at him, though her voice in this small white rat form sounded so thin and soft that it carried no threat at all. "I am serious."
Feng Yiren pressed his lips together so tightly that his cheeks almost trembled.
Lin Huahua’s tiny ears flattened. "You are laughing inside."
"I am not," Feng Yiren said, but his red fox ears were twitching so hard that even the beast gods would not believe him.
"You are."
"I am only thinking."
"You never think good things."
"That is rude."
"You deserve it."
Feng Yiren finally gave up and let out a low laugh, his red tail sweeping behind him in complete delight. "Little rat, you forgot how to become a bigger little rat." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Lin Huahua gasped so loudly that her tiny body nearly puffed up again. "Feng Yiren!"
