“Yes.” He took out a special water bottle and a large leaf, carefully offering it water. “Miss, please drink.”
The bull, no, the cow lady, contentedly sipped the clean water from the leaf.
Initially, to get it to drink, Zhiben had gone through quite the ordeal. Water spilled on the ground would be absorbed by the dirt, and it wouldn’t drink; water on a rock was too dirty, and it wouldn’t drink either. After trying various methods to provide it with water, he finally found this large leaf it was willing to “comply” with. What a picky cow!
Xu Xuen suddenly walked over and tugged at Zhiben’s drooping sleeve. “Zhiben, I think I saw something ahead, do you want to go check it out?”
“What thing?” Zhiben poured some water into his mouth, the cool, fragrant water sliding down his parched throat, providing an indescribable comfort.
“Let’s go, we’ll check it out together.” Xu Xuen pulled him along. “Humph, Miss Cow, we’ll go ahead and look around, we’ll be back soon, don’t you dare sneak off!”
“Get rolling!” It turned its face to the side, ignoring them.
Xu Xuen and Zhiben headed towards where she had pointed, perhaps because they hadn’t walked in a while, their steps grew slower and slower.
“Sigh, we should have ridden that dumb bull.” Xu Xuen sighed softly.
“You’re the one who picks the fights and also the one who wants to ride on others’ shoulders. Women are truly incomprehensible,” he teased her.
“Disgusting! Are you itching for a beating?” Xu Xian’en glared at him. Ever since leaving the Three-Body Country, she had become especially capricious and increasingly reliant on him.
Xu Xian’en suddenly realized that having someone to rely on was actually quite a nice thing.
“Cluck—cluck—”
“What sound?” He furrowed his brows and stopped to look around.
“I don’t know, does it sound like a chicken?” Xu Xian’en also started searching.
“Can’t find it… forget it, let’s keep walking.” Zhou Ben grabbed her hand, his protective intent clear.
As they got closer to the mysterious thing, the strange sound became more distinct, and they saw something that looked like a machine.
“En En, look at that… could it be the time machine from Doraemon?” he asked playfully.
