After Felix and I finished storing the supplies and planting the vegetable seeds indoors , half a month slipped by . During those two weeks , my parents called me on video several times. Since our relationship had already soured , their intentions were never kind . They only wanted to flaunt how blissful Celie's life was now that she was with Gideon . I treated it as entertainment . Truth be told , life on the mountain was a little dull . So , in a way , they became my " electronic pets . " To prolong the amusement , I even chose the smallest room in the manor to take their calls . Each time they proudly showed off the fish Gideon had caught for Celie , I would glance at the chicken stew and sweet - and - sour carp simmering on my left , then at the stir - fried mushrooms and vegetable egg soup on my right - before letting out a sigh of mock envy . My parents and Celie were utterly satisfied with my reaction . When the rain began , they dropped all pretense and revealed their malice outright . " This rain won't last long . Just stay put and wait it out at home . " Anyone with half a brain could tell they hoped I'd be trapped by the downpour and die slowly in the apocalypse . But since I still wanted to enjoy the show later , I nodded along , assuring them I wouldn't go out or prepare anything . As soon as the call ended , I went back to planting vegetables with Felix . " Honey . " His tone carried a hint of grievance . " You can't make an eagle grow vegetables every day . That's abuse ! " " Then what do you want to do ? " " Let me feed the chickens ! " I shook my head immediately . " Absolutely not . " He drooped at once . " Why not , honey ? Why can't I feed the chickens ? " " Because every time you do , you scare them half to death . You tell me why . " I could only sigh in exasperation . Since moving to the mountain , Felix had revealed his true nature . But perhaps that was a good thing . He was still so young , and in our past life , he'd been forced to shoulder the burden of my family - only to be betrayed in the end . This time , it was just the two of us . As long as we were happy , that was enough . Lost in thought , I suddenly felt my hand being clasped . " Honey . " Felix's eyes blazed with intensity . " Then let's do it together . " The rain grew heavier . What started as a gentle drizzle soon turned into a relentless downpour . We sat on the sofa , watching through the floor - to - ceiling windows as raindrops drummed against the earth . " Isn't this rain lasting a little too long ? " Felix held me close , frowning slightly . Beastmen were always sharp - his instincts were sounding the alarm . I nodded . Fortunately , we had reinforced the power system earlier . Otherwise , with rain this heavy , a blackout would have been a real problem . Chapter 6 " Honey , should we go take a look outside ? " I blinked . " How ? " " By flying , of course . ' 11 He ruffled my hair , murmured something under his breath , and suddenly - wings unfurled across his bac Smiling like the hero of some childhood cartoon , he scooped me into his arms and shot upward . The next second ... " Thud ! " Felix slammed straight into the ceiling . " Urghhh ... Honey , it hurts ! " I fell silent . What an idiot bird .
