Zhou Yu's mood instantly relaxed, and he picked it up.
"Where did you run off to? Do you know that I almost left without you! "Zhou Yu was a little annoyed at this unruly companion of his.
"Hmm?" Mo Ye tilted his head, and used the thing in his mouth to hit Zhou Yu's mouth.
Zhou Yu hurriedly took down the small branch, and realized that every three or four leaves contained some sort of coffee-colored fruit. He thought about how Mo Ye used it to hit his mouth. Could it be that Mo Ye had found it for him to eat?
"You're letting me eat this?" Zhou Yu asked.
Mo Ye nodded.
"You ran off just to find food for me?" Zhou Yu asked uncertainly.
Mo Ye nodded again.
Zhou Yu's heart started to heat up, and he suddenly felt that Mo Ye was really cute. He would comfort him, accompany him when he was in danger, and take care of him in his own way.
Zhou Yu hugged him.
Mo Ye's little wings flapped lightly, as if he was very happy.
But humans were not allowed to eat things here. And Mo Ye had only been born for a few days. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't possibly know more about the creatures in this world than Zhou Yu.
Mo Ye saw that Zhou Yu was only holding the branch, and wasn't planning to eat the fruit, and became unhappy. He nudged Zhou Yu, and made a few "hmph hmph" sounds in his ear.
Zhou Yu was amused. He thought about it, and since he was really hungry, if he didn't eat now, he might not be able to make it out of the forest.
Zhou Yu plucked a small fruit, and put it to his nose to smell it. It had a light fragrance, and was very fresh. Zhou Yu felt that this kind of fruit shouldn't be dangerous, and whether or not it could be eaten, and what would happen after eating it, he would only know after eating it. It was just like how people used to say that tomatoes were poisonous. In the end, someone ate a tomato and it tasted pretty good. He was already lying in bed waiting to die, but the sun rose the next day as usual.
Zhou Yu decided to be the first person to eat a tomato.
Zhou Yu placed the coffee-colored fruit in his mouth and bit it open slowly with his teeth. The sweet liquid overflowed and curled around the tip of his tongue. The cool feeling made him feel refreshed. His stomach started to warm up as well. It was just one pill, but he was already feeling full.
Zhou Yu ate two more, then took off the rest and put them into his undamaged pocket.
After walking for a long time, Zhou Yu felt that his mental state was very good. He didn't feel tired and his mind was very clear.
It seemed like the fruits brought by Mo Ye were not poisonous.
"Thank you." Zhou Yu poked it with her finger and was immediately sucked into its mouth.
Before sunset, Zhou Yu finally walked out of the forest.
He looked up and bathed in the sunset, feeling as if he had been reborn.
In front of them, there was an empty area, and they could faintly see the light of metal refraction.
The base was right in front of them.
At this moment, Zhou Yu stopped in his tracks.
There was a decision that he had been thinking about all this while. Now, it was time to make a decision.
He touched Mo Ye with his hand and placed him on the ground.
Mo Ye looked at him in confusion. Zhou Yu knelt on one knee and looked at Mo Ye in the eyes with the same solemn expression.
"Mo Ye, listen. I am very grateful for your company on this journey, but I can't take you to where I want to go."
"Hmm?" Mo Ye tilted his head and looked at Zhou Yu with his eyes that could make one's heart soften.
But the more soft-hearted he was, the more Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't continue to bring him along.
"Between you and me, we are equals. I am not your owner, and you have saved me before … So no matter what you think of me as, I think of you as my brother. Just like my former vice-captain Chen Chong, my liaison Xiao Mei, my younger brother Zhou Qing … If any of them were in danger, I would spare no effort to save them, even if the price was my life. So, I can't stand people treating you as a research subject. If they were just observing you, it would be fine, but they could very well hurt you and not give you the respect and equality you desire … You are an intelligent creature, your feelings will definitely be hurt. "
Mo Ye really understood Zhou Yu's words, and even the wings on his back drooped down.
"So, let's go. But you must remember the three rules of survival. First, never be afraid. Fear will make you marked as prey. Second, don't be attracted to beautiful things. The more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are. Third … It doesn't seem to affect you too much. In any case, the further away you are from an S-grade creature, the better. "
