The willow tree happily waved its branches around.
"At least it's happy," his dad said with a small shrug.
Zou Yue glared at the ceiling. The willow tree could provide additional security but with the cleaning open like this the chances of danger have been increased.
He took a deep breath, holding back the anger inside.
A soft slap of the feathery leaves made it even worse.
"I-it... it slapped you... oh my god, is it a safe mutant?"
"It is... I think. It just hates me Cuz I rejected it," Yue paused away the branch that was annoyingly hiding his face. "Try interacting with it. it seems much more accepting to others. Look," he gestured to blackie who was happily laying on one of its thick branches with her delicate tummy exposed.
"blackie! It's dangerous, get down here. Yue get her, that tree might eat her!"
"no. it just likes petting her," Yue patted his back, assuring him that everything was alright.
