The yell caused Li Yuan to flinch. He almost forgot about his enhanced hearing if not for that screaming man. It was only now that he noticed the female lead, Zhu Mengmeng.
It was like he wasn't in control of his body anymore, he wanted to go up and put her in a chokehold. He realized he was glaring at her, it was the body's natural instincts, but he can only guess. From what he read, this is the scene where he attacked Zhu Mengmeng making Wei Xiao pay attention to how dangerous Li Yuan was.
But this time, he didn't attack, causing Wei Xiao to only notice her.
"Why are you here? I told you not to come here." He was obviously frustrated, "But-"
"No." Wei Xiao sternly said leaving no space to rebel to order, she was always in his business. Wanting to know where he was at all times, what he was doing, and just being obsessive in general. He didn't know how he was in love with her in the past.
[Zhu Mengmeng became obsessive towards Wei Xiao about 3 years ago. She knew the handsome protagonist Wei Xiao would attract many women's attention. When Li Yuan attacked Zhu Mengmeng that's when Wei Xiao knew how important she was to him, somehow forgiving all her past actions.]
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at the screen, the system appeared to explain the emotions of the protagonist when he was confused.
"I was just going to bring you lunch! I did nothing wrong." Zhu Mengmeng pouted, stooping her feet on the ground like a child trying to act cute. "Humph! I don't want anything to do with that ugly thing." She then walked away without even looking back at her mess, just leaving it there.
Someone walked in with a towel, wrapping it around Li Yuan's waist so he wouldn't be naked anymore. Wei Xiao looked at Zhu Mengmeng as she walked away. He called in the janitor to clean her mess up and walked towards Xue Rong. Since Li Yuan was behind Xue Rong, Wei Xiao wasn't able to see him "Xue Rong, why did you call me-" His eyes widened as they landed on Li Yuan's body.
Li Yuan's tail was now swaying a bit. It seems like the muscles are getting used to the new additions to the body. But it was glaring at him from afar like it knew who he was. Wei Xiao walked up to the subject, his eyes shone with curiosity. It had taken him years to reach this stage now all he needed to know was whether it worked or not.
Li Yuan backed away as Wie Xiao's hand came closer. He looked at the hand with disgust while the other looked amused. "How are the test results?" Wei Xiao asked, thinking they already took the tests. "Sir, he woke up around 10 minutes ago. We didn't have the time to test yet."
Wei Xiao smirked. "Perfect, start the testing lab!"
The next thing Li Yuan knew he was already strapped in a chair. In front of him was a table. Li Yuan was panicking inside, he didn't know if he was getting integrated or getting tortured with the restraints on his body. He looked away from the table when the door opened. Wei Xiao walked in as the door slid into the wall, closing once Wei Xiao entered.
"I'm just going to test your 5 basic senses, nothing will hurt," Wie Xiao chuckled, a dark glint shined in his eyes making Li Yuan sweat, "Not yet at least." Li Yuan's mouth went dry, he didn't know if he should respond or not. But before he could decide, Wei Xiao continued talking.
"Now," He picked up and put the headphone over Li Yuan's human ears, Li Yuan's ears immediately turned forward twitching whenever a noise was picked up. Wei Xiao was amused jotting down a few words onto a tablet of some sort. Everything was silent; only Wei Xiao's footsteps could be heard.
Wie Xiao walked to the other side of the table. "Let's get started."
It was now that Li Yuan knew what was going to happen. His body pulled on the restraints as the only sound other than his harsh breathing was the pen hitting the table. It was at an agonizing pace torturing his mind, each sound just making him pull on the restraints wanting to hide his ears.
Not to say the smell of blood on the pen, he felt like a wild animal wanting food. Saliva was dripping down his chin and was growling like a wild animal. The only thing he could think of was.
'What did they do to him?'
This continued for an hour or so and Li Yuan was slouching on the chair, sweat trickling down. Finally, the silence was given as Wei Xiao walked towards Li Yuan. "Not strong enough, but could be a decent guard dog." Wei Xiao mumbled, making Li Yuan's ears twitch. During the time he has come out of the tank to now he hasn't spoken a single word.
"I'm not a pet." His voice was slightly rough from not speaking for so long. He has no idea how long the body was in the tank. Wei Xiao was surprised when he spoke, but the surprise was almost immediately replaced with a smirk. "Oh! So you can talk."
"I can't speak much." Li Yuan glancing up at Wei Xiao. his body was bare as sweat dripped down.
"I noticed, now let's get onto the next few tests." Li Yuan shuttered at those words, an ominous feeling swelled up in his stomach, the smirk on Wei Xiao's face was not a good one.
----------
Li Yuan laid down on the ground refusing to move anymore, he was curled up in a ball crying a pool of tears. Wei Xiao sighed looking at the boy on the ground. "We're done for the day, it seems only your senses have highly improved. Your physical capabilities are definitely way above average surpassing your test results before the surgery. Congratulations."
Li Yuan's tail slapped the ground as he heard the tests were over. Wei Xiao smirked, walked towards, and stepped on the tail. As a whimper sounded out Wei Xiao removed his foot. He wasn't stepping too harshly but still enough to bring out some pain. Kneeling down, Wei Xiao tried touching Li Yuan's ears only for the other to slap his hand away.
"You said no more tests! Let me sleep." Li Yuan didn't care if the others got annoyed with him. Wei Xiao smirked at the little tantrum the other was throwing.
"Stand up, I'll take you to your room." Wei Xiao touched the other's ears as they were trying to stand up. Li Yuan glared at Wei Xiao. 'Just because you're the protagonist doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to me.' He followed Wei Xiao to a room. "You will be staying here until further notice, okay?"
Wei Xiao looked at Li Yuan, this was his first subject that lived and is freely walking like a human. He closed the door and sighed. He was proud, to say the least.
The other employees or scientists that were watching the scene were flabbergasted. Their boss was never this gentle towards any subjects! He wouldn't test them himself if they put up an attitude. But this one is different. He was throwing a tantrum while rolling around on the ground, but Wei Xiao just had a smile.
They stared at the two's retreading forms. One of a happy pup and one of their cold boss. Leaving with a closed door. They watched as Wei Xiao let out a small smile looking like a proud friend. He took a deep breath and fell back to his normal cold self. The scientist's mouths were agape looking at their boss.
Wei Xiao felt the many stares on his back. He knew who they were but didn't question why they were like that. He knew he was acting unusual but he himself didn't know why either. He never even smiled like that to Zhu Mengmeng especially when she became obsessed with him.
