Picked up by the Protagonist of a Tormented! MC Novel

Volume 1 Chapter 9

Zeno is awash in melancholy. He can't believe that the protagonist of his story looks so pleased to be called a father. Look at the whole body of x literature, and not once will you see a protagonist become a father before he even accomplishes anything!

Only some cannon fodder or a younger brother will have this magical set of children ah. Cannon fodder children are the stepping stone to domination used by the protagonist, and the younger brother’s child is used to develop the main character's responsibility and power. The protagonist having a child, do you think this is a farming show? Go away, wrong channel!

Zeno stares desperately at Xi Wei's eyes, hoping he will deny these assumptions. Firstly, the protagonist is supposed to be cool and handsome, what daddy, it does not sound cool or handsome at all!

Secondly, the role that the scar-faced man plays in the harem is still a long ways off. However, when it comes to his daughter, if she thinks the protagonist started his family when he was only eleven, she will certainly think he's unreliable, nothing but slag.

Love between childhood sweet hearts. If his protagonist is with this sort of pure and kind sister, it means he will be far away from the spicy hot femme fatale type. With a conscientious lover, the protagonist will not have the sense of being betrayed by the world and ultimately he would not choose to commit suicide. This is for peace in the world ah, protagonist, please be sure to deny this crazy misunderstanding!

The protagonist loves looking at me! (t/n: There's no good context for this sentence. But there it is)

Xi Wei sees non-stop blinking from the baby, but cannot garner any meaning. When he finally seems to have gathered some courage, he looks at the scar faced man, then strenuously speaks, “How can you…still…remember me? ”

Xi Lun smiles, “You're finally willing to talk to me. This is your child so it will, of course, be returned to you. In Fenhong Street, who does not know Xi Lun? Although I deal in the pleasures of the flesh, I would never force you to give this little one up to me.”1

Xi Wei tilts back his head in a flash and looks up at this man who is a few feet taller. His expression is neither agitated nor overwhelmed, as always, he appears indifferent.

Xi Lun looks a little bored, but still passes Zeno over to Xi Wei. Xi Wei struggles to hold him and his waist bends with the effort. Despite this he labours to secure the little baby to his chest once again.

Zeno still has the mouldy piece of bread in his mouth. He begins choking on it when the protagonist fails to deny the scar-faced man's words, and his cute little face turns a deep red. Xi Wei immediately moves to use his finger to pull the bread out of Zeno's mouth, but he hesitates when he sees that his outstretched finger is very dirty.

He carefully crouches down and, just like with his face, uses the snow to wipe is fingers clean. That accomplished, he pulls out the dangerous piece of bread and tosses it.

Xi Lun quietly watches him finish all of that. Finally, he could not help but open his mouth, “The child has a fever, and he can die without xu nue.”

Zeno feels Xi Wei's hand on his back clench briefly. Indeed, although he has improved with the Elf Queen's blessing, she did say that she could only ensure three days respite from danger. However, all are aware of the consequence when three days have passed.

Seeing that he finally got a reaction from him, Xi Lun could feel the stirrings of guilt in his heart. From the first time he'd seen Xi Wei, who was delivering rice to Jasmine, he began to notice him. The child was silent, cold, vigilant, and it seemed that he had no interest in anything. He was completely different from other seven or eight year old children—he was familiar with the rules of the underground world, and quite good at camouflage.
