There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 267 The Bullied Oleander

The deer-man shop in the early morning naturally exudes a coolness unique to the mountains, causing Oleander to subconsciously tighten the blanket around her.

However, the next moment, Oleander suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the blanket covering her with a look of horror.

"What happened yesterday? And whose bed is this? And who covered me with a blanket?" A series of questions appeared in Oleander's mind.

However, perhaps because she was drunk yesterday, Oleander felt a little dizzy at the moment, and her memory of yesterday was also fragmented.

Just as Oleander was trying to recall what had happened yesterday, she heard the door creak open.

Hao Chen walked in, holding a glass of water, standing upright. "Hey, Oleander, you're finally awake! You drank so much yesterday, you were drunk, I had to carry you back to sleep."

"Your name is Haochen, right?!" Oleander looked at Haochen with suspicion and said uncertainly, "I remember Walnut said that you and I are friends!"

“That’s right.” Hao Chen nodded and handed the water to Oleander: “Have some water first.”

Oleander wasn't thirsty at first, but looking at the water in front of her, she subconsciously licked her slightly chapped lips.

Then, right in front of Haochen, Oleander stuck out her pink tongue and licked the water in the glass with a smacking sound.

It's hard to believe that Oleander, despite being a large cat, looks like a kitten when she drinks water, with her two tails swaying back and forth. Hao Chen was almost melted by how adorable it was.

Hao Chen muttered, "So cute!"

Oleander's ears twitched, then she looked up at Haochen with a puzzled expression: "What did you say is cute?"

Hao Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just said walnuts are cute."

Upon hearing this, Oleander proudly puffed out his chest, as if Haochen was praising him, and said smugly, "Of course, after all, Walnut is a child of our Peach family, so it's natural that he's both smart and cute."

"Really?" Hao Chen put down his water glass, then reached out his paw and tapped the oleander's nose.

Hao Chen's bold move left Oleander somewhat bewildered, her eyes darting around.

Looking at the oleander that provided him with so much emotional value, Hao Chen had the idea to tease it a bit, so he said casually, "I wonder who it is that is always called an idiot by their older sister."

Upon hearing this, Oleander's expression changed, and she blurted out instinctively, "You... how did you know?"

However, as soon as he said it, Oleander regretted it. Wasn't he just admitting his mistake?

As if its secret had been exposed, the oleander wagged its tail restlessly.

Meanwhile, Oleander was thinking that, besides that annoying brother-in-law, only Walnut knew that his older sister called him an idiot.

Oleander pouted and looked at Haochen: "Did Walnut tell you?!"

"Haha, guess!" Hao Chen grinned, as if teasing the oleander gave him a special sense of accomplishment.

However, Oleander blushed with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Walnut, why does she tell everyone? How can I, as her uncle, face the beast now?"

"Okay, okay, don't be upset, I won't laugh anymore!" Seeing the displeasure written all over Oleander's face, Haochen felt that was enough. If he continued to tease her, Oleander would probably cry again.

Seeing that Haochen had indeed stopped laughing, Oleander breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought of something else: "Haochen, I haven't thanked you for carrying me back and for letting me sleep in your bed."

Oleander patted the bed beneath him; it was so soft and comfortable that he couldn't help but purr. This bed was far better than the ones he used to sleep on the ground or in trees.

Upon hearing what Oleander said, Haochen immediately realized that Oleander had misunderstood.

Oleander thought she was sleeping in Haochen's bed, and that because she was drunk, Haochen had to sleep somewhere else last night.

Thinking of this, Hao Chen immediately put aside his decision to stop bullying Oleander. Let that thought go wherever it wanted; he was determined to bully Oleander today.

"Ahem!" Hao Chen coughed a few times, then said with a smile, "Oleander, you know, you were so enthusiastic last night, insisting on dragging me to sleep with you, and I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to..."

At this point, Hao Chen deliberately stopped talking and even looked at Oleander's belly.

Oleander was stunned by Haochen's words, completely unaware of the cunning glint in his eyes.

"W-what did you say? What happened to me last night?" It seemed that the information in Haochen's words was too much for Jiazhutao to handle, and she stammered a little.

Hao Chen, however, thoroughly enjoyed teasing Oleander, the big cat, and said to her panicked eyes, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious..."

Just as Oleander was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Hao Chen suddenly changed the subject and said, "Last night, after you got drunk, you held onto my paws and wouldn't let me leave. You even licked my fur. As a return gift, I had no choice but to lick your whole body and then hold you all night."

“…” Oleander was frustrated. Did he really do those things last night? But why did he have no recollection of it?

Seeing Oleander's shocked expression, Hao Chen was secretly pleased. He didn't intend to let him off so easily and continued, "By the way, Oleander, has anyone ever told you that you smell so good? The faint plant fragrance on you is really captivating."

As Hao Chen spoke, he suddenly jumped onto the bed, grabbed Oleander's neck, and, startled, pressed his nose against her neck and began to inhale deeply.

Caught off guard by Hao Chen's sudden attack, Oleander's body stiffened uncontrollably. Hao Chen could feel Oleander's heartbeat getting faster and faster, and her body temperature seemed to be rising continuously.

Noticing the change in Oleander, Haochen couldn't help but wonder if Oleander had fainted. After all, it was a big Mengji, it shouldn't be so shy and easily teased!

Before Hao Chen could think further, the Four-Unlikes suddenly pushed the door open and entered. Upon seeing Hao Chen holding the oleander, the Four-Unlikes instinctively tried to back out.

"Sorry to interrupt your intimate moment... Wait!" Before he could finish speaking, the charlatan suddenly realized that this was his room, and Hao Chen and Oleander were on his bed, so why should he leave?!

"Haochen, what are you doing? You can't be intimate in broad daylight, you should at least wait until night."

"Speaking of which, didn't you and Oleander just meet? How come you're already so close that you're sleeping together?" The four-legged creature pointed at Haochen, transforming into a gossipy old deer.

Now it was Hao Chen's turn to be embarrassed. He tried to flirt with the oleander but was caught by the four-legged beast, and even seemed to be misunderstood.

Hao Chen quickly released the oleander: "Don't overthink it, you little phoenix. I was just joking with the oleander. You can ask the oleander if you don't believe me."

Hao Chen tugged at Oleander's paw: "Oleander, say something! We were just joking, weren't we!"

Oleander was still in shock from the fact that he had dragged Haochen to sleep, so she just nodded blankly.

However, in the eyes of the Four-Faced Beast, it seemed that he and Hao Chen were just joking, which made the Four-Faced Beast feel disappointed that it hadn't gotten to enjoy the gossip.

However, the four-legged creature quickly remembered its purpose for coming and grabbed Hao Chen's ear.

Hao Chen immediately bared his teeth and said, "What are you doing, you four-legged creature? Let go of me, you're going to tear my ears off!"

The Four-Unlikes did not loosen its grip on Hao Chen's ear because of his words. Having spent so much time together, it knew Hao Chen's unreliable personality. However, the Four-Unlikes still subconsciously relaxed its grip.

"Haochen, last night you said that Oleander just arrived and had nowhere to sleep, so you asked me to lend him my bed temporarily."

But you absolutely have to return my bed today. As for Oleander, you're in charge of finding her a place to stay; she's not allowed to occupy my bed anymore.

The four-legged creature gets furious whenever this is mentioned.

Because its bed was given to Oleander and Haochen, the Four-Faced Beast had to go stay with Rabbit God.

Rabbit was overjoyed at the arrival of the four-legged creature and busied himself dismantling the other beds, leaving only a large bed for him to sleep in together.

This wouldn't have been a problem, but the four-legged creature never expected that the rabbit would sleep so badly, constantly snuggling up to him and rubbing its paws all over him, making it impossible for him to sleep well all night.

When Hao Chen heard that the Four-Unlikes had asked him to take charge of the oleander's place, he was overjoyed. The oleander was finally in his hands.

"As for where to live, where else can compare to the place right next to me?" Hao Chen even began to fantasize about the wonderful life ahead.

The collection includes four different plush pillows: Qilin, Tianlu, Walnut, Rabbit God, Zhanhu, and now the newly arrived Oleander. They've practically been getting a different fluffy pillow every day, and none of them are the same!

Just as Haochen was lost in thought, the Sibuxiang suddenly made Oleander get off the bed, and then disgustedly ripped off the quilt, pillow, and bed sheet and threw them to Haochen.

"Haochen, look at this! You've got cat hair all over my room. Quickly take out the blankets, sheets, and pillows so they can be washed and aired out. And don't forget to clean the whole room."

After saying this, the four-legged creature carried its claws and went downstairs. Today, it was going to invite the little sparrow to its melon patch to borrow the little sparrow's mountain god power to ripen a few watermelons for it to eat.

After the four-legged creature left, Hao Chen finally snapped out of his reverie, pushed off the blanket covering him, and looked at Oleander: "Don't just stand there, come and help me move these blankets downstairs."

Despite the seemingly large amount of laundry, Hao Chen remained unperturbed. After all, Rabbit Lord had taken pity on the Qilin and specially prepared a washing machine for him to use.

After struggling with Oleander to carry the quilt downstairs, wash it in the washing machine, and hang it up to dry, Haochen was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Oleander suddenly said, "By the way, Haochen, I have a question for you."

"What's wrong, Oleander? Is there a problem?"

Oleander nodded: "Um, do you know if there are any other Mengji in these mountains?"

"Before you came, there were no other Mengji plants in these mountains besides walnuts," Hao Chen affirmed.

But seeing the puzzled look in Oleander's eyes, Haochen frowned: "Oleander, what happened?"

"No, it's just that when I came here, I encountered a strange dream world outside the mountain, and it took a lot of effort to leave."

At this point, Oleander paused for a moment before continuing, "That dream world is very complex and couldn't possibly be made of walnuts, which is why I asked if there were any other Mengji in this mountain. But maybe I'm overthinking it; perhaps a passing Mengji created the dream world out of boredom."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. After hearing Oleander's words, Haochen immediately felt that things were probably not as simple as Oleander thought.

"Oleander, I'm going to check out the dream world you mentioned. Please tell the Four-Faced Beast for me." Hao Chen said as he ran towards the exit of Caiyun Mountain.

Looking at Hao Chen's retreating figure, Oleander suddenly remembered the complexity of that dream world, and how even he had gone to great lengths to escape it.

Worried that Haochen might be in danger, Oleander hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Hey, Haochen, wait for me! I'll go with you; maybe I can help."
