He pondered deeply for a moment. In the end, he secretly used a spell to tamper with a small part of the driver's memory. Then he cast an illusion spell on the little fox to cover her ears so that ordinary humans couldn't tell.
Rong Lan was unaware of what Si Mo had done. It wasn't until they had settled her biological father and had some free time that Si Mo mentioned it to her. "It's troublesome, little fox. Ordinary people can see your ears."
Si Mo's words almost made Rong Lan drop the payment receipt in her hand. She looked vigilant. "Really? But I walked up and down the hospital so many times, and no one paid attention to me." If there were a pair of fluffy ears on top of her head, people would definitely take a look at her, but no one did.
Si Mo sat down on the bench beside them. "I cast an illusion spell on you. You probably didn't notice the way the driver looked at you when we got in the car. He was too embarrassed to ask anything. Maybe he thought they were decorations, but he did look at the top of your head for a few seconds."
Rong Lan: "..." She peeked through the half - closed door. The person on the hospital bed didn't seem to wake up anytime soon. So she simply sat down next to Si Mo, reached up and touched her ears. "Fortunately, you're observant."
Otherwise, with a pair of fluffy ears on her head in the public lobby, she might be on the front - page news tomorrow.
"Now what are you going to do? The illusion spell only prevents ordinary humans from seeing your ears, but if they touch your head, they can feel them." The first person he thought of was Chu Hengyuan. The little fox and Chu Hengyuan were newlyweds, and head - patting should be a regular thing. It was inevitable, right?
Of course, with the little fox's current skills, if she wanted to avoid it, she could. But if she did, it would be hard to explain.
Chu Hengyuan would instantly think that the little fox had someone else on the side, so she didn't even want to cooperate in head - patting interactions.
Rong Lan stroked her drooping ears and looked dejected. "Oh no. Just now in the car, my husband asked me where I was. He wanted to come and pick me up, and I told him the location of the hospital." How could she meet Chu Hengyuan with the ears on her head? What if he accidentally touched her ears and thought she was some kind of monster and sent her for experiments?
Si Mo coughed lightly. "So he will pat your head?"
"Sometimes..."
"Good luck to you." Although he thought that with Chu Hengyuan's character, even if he really touched the little fox's ears, he wouldn't lose his composure on the spot.
Rong Lan was silent for a while. "Is there any other spell that can make people neither see nor touch my ears?"
Si Mo thought for a moment before answering. "There isn't in my knowledge base. Right now, those fox ears of yours are like an integral part of you. Think about it. Even if you use the invisibility spell to make yourself disappear from the public's sight, you still have to avoid people when you move, because although the public can't see you, they may still bump into the invisible you. The illusion spell and the invisibility spell work in a similar way. They just make something disappear from the public's view, not make it completely disappear."
Rong Lan: "..." She admitted that Si Mo was right, because she didn't have the ability to make people unable to touch her clearly existing ears. "Forget it. Let's take it one step at a time."
Besides thinking about the problem of her ears, she also had to figure out what to say when her biological father woke up later.
Si Mo nodded. "Think slowly. Look on the bright side. Maybe ordinary humans can't touch your ears."
"That's too much self - deception." Rong Lan whispered and complained.
Si Mo shrugged and didn't respond. He just sat there quietly in a daze.
His original intention was to accompany the little fox for a while longer. After all, it wasn't good to leave a seemingly weak and vulnerable girl alone in the hospital. However, after Chu Hengyuan came, feeling Chu Hengyuan's vigilant gaze on him, he suddenly remembered that he didn't deliberately change his appearance when he was the flower boy, so he now looked like the grown - up version of the flower boy.
How should he explain this...
Say that the flower boy was his younger brother?
Rong Lan, who never thought about this at all, didn't know Si Mo's entanglement. When she saw Chu Hengyuan appear, following her instincts, she rushed into his arms for a hug without saying a word.
This was what she had wanted to do when she was scared by the ghost in the abandoned factory and could only squat down and hug herself. She thought that if he had been by her side at that time, even if he was just a few steps away from her, she would definitely have rushed into his arms, because she firmly believed that his embrace was a safe one and that he would protect her. This was an absolute trust in his character.
It was a pity that Si Mo was the only one there at the scene, and she couldn't hug Si Mo.
Fortunately, Chu Hengyuan knew what she wanted and gave her a gentle and powerful hug.
Si Mo watched as Chu Hengyuan's hand landed on the back of the little fox's head. He almost touched the little fox's ears, and Si Mo held his breath. The little fox, too. She clearly knew her special situation now, yet she still dared to get so close to Chu Hengyuan?
It seemed dangerous to him, but the little fox, who buried her head in Chu Hengyuan's chest with full trust, didn't seem to think so.
The two people in the embrace seemed to be glowing. It seemed that only he, the single dragon, was getting hurt in this world.
Si Mo looked away sourly and didn't want to look at them anymore.
It was only when Chu Hengyuan gently rubbed the back of her head that Rong Lan suddenly remembered her ears. Her white, fluffy little ears twitched, and she immediately let go of the man's waist. She took a half - step back pretending to be cute and innocent. "You came so fast, husband!"
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows. His little wife was smiling sweetly and cutely, but he always felt that he saw the word "guilty" in her eyes. "Our home isn't too far from this hospital." Although he didn't come from home. When he received her message, he wasn't at home. While she was out playing with her friends, he also went out to handle some business.
"Really? I didn't notice." The little fox, who just randomly chose a big hospital, really didn't know this.
Chu Hengyuan originally wanted to reach out and pat the top of her head. However, this was the hospital corridor after all, with patients, nurses, and doctors coming and going. So he didn't mess up her hair. "This is..."
He looked at Si Mo. Although he had hardly talked to the flower boy his little wife had found, the flower boy had an extremely outstanding face. Even he could remember what the flower boy looked like. And now this teenager, who looked only sixteen or seventeen, looked so much like the flower boy.
Si Mo silently turned his head to look at Chu Hengyuan, his expression calm.
He was curious to see how the little fox would explain this.
