Chapter 194
Once Allen finished washing up, Su Bin’s bath was nearly done. Allen gently pinched Su Bin’s tiny paws, lifted him out, and placed him on the towel he had prepared. Ignoring Su Bin’s shrill “Waa waa!” screams, he pushed him around on the dry towel like a rice ball rolling from side to side.
Su Bin: “Ugh…”
Allen: “Do you want a handkerchief?”
Su Bin covered his face, grumbling, “Of course I do!”
Seeing him all naked, Allen couldn’t resist teasing him. When he handed Su Bin the handkerchief, he mischievously held onto it, letting only one corner dangle for Su Bin to grab.
When Su Bin tried to pull on it, he realized something was off. Gritting his teeth, he glared at Allen and began a tug-of-war with him over the handkerchief. But with his tiny size, how could he compete with Allen? Right now, Allen could easily crush him with just one finger!
Su Bin: “Let go… let go…”
Allen chuckled, releasing his grip. The sudden force sent Su Bin rolling backward, tumbling until he ended up on his back with all four limbs in the air.
Allen covered his mouth with his hand, finally unable to hold back a hearty laugh.
Su Bin: “Achoo—!” He sneezed, his little pinky twitching. Damn, this is so embarrassing! tat
Allen’s finger gently stroked Su Bin’s hair. “Still wet.” He then casually reached for the hairdryer…
“What—what are you doing…” Su Bin screamed in fright, rolling and scrambling away, wrapping himself in the handkerchief. But there was no way he could outrun Allen’s hand. In no time, he was engulfed in a blast of hot air. “Ah ah ah…!”
“Help, help~~~!” The hairdryer’s powerful wind felt like a giant laser cannon. Su Bin was helpless, both mentally and physically exhausted by the relentless assault.
To prevent Su Bin from being blown away by the dryer, Allen “thoughtfully” used one finger to hold him in place. He flipped him over and around in the hot wind for half a minute before finally releasing him.
After the “torture,” Su Bin lay there completely limp, feeling like a soggy noodle—well, since there was no way to resist, he gave up… Wuu wuu wuu…
Allen smiled as he watched the “resigned” little Su Bin. He gently wrapped him up in the handkerchief and brought him up to his lips, giving him a kiss. Su Bin, blushing furiously, shrank away, looking pitiful.
Allen: “Hehe, I really want to just eat you up~”
Su Bin: “!!!”
Now that Su Bin had shrunk, he couldn’t prepare a hearty breakfast anymore, so Allen made a simple bowl of milk cereal for himself and shared it with Su Bin. But the bowl of cereal seemed as large as a bath tub to Su Bin. He didn’t even dare lean over the edge, worried that he might fall in and become a soggy “cookie.”
Allen found a small shot glass and scooped some milk cereal into it for Su Bin. Even just this small portion was enough to fill him up.
After breakfast, Allen changed into his outdoor clothes. Su Bin, sitting on the table, asked, “Are you going out?”
Allen: “Yeah, I’m taking you out for a walk.”
Su Bin: “What…?” Can’t he just stay at home for once? qaq
“Don’t hide.” Allen grabbed Su Bin, who was trying to crawl into the tissue box, and without any consideration for his protests, put him in his pocket.
Su Bin struggled for a while inside the pocket, finally managing to stand. Panting, he stuck his head out to get some air. “Where are you taking me?” he asked anxiously.
Allen didn’t answer. Instead, he gently patted his pocket. “Hold on tight.”
Su Bin: “…”
As Allen started moving, Su Bin quickly realized that with his new size, everything seemed huge and the relative speed felt many times faster than before. Being on Allen’s body, though he was walking at a normal pace, felt like sitting in an open spaceship zooming through the cosmos. It reminded him of those documentaries about space, where tiny humans traveled in spaceships across the vast universe. That was probably what it felt like. Su Bin started to think that being small wasn’t so bad after all.
Allen stepped outside and took a stroll through the back garden of Roland Manor. The tree saplings and shrubs that were once at his height now looked like towering giants. The trees seemed to stretch to the sky, the thick grass was like a forest, and the flowers were enormous. Su Bin was so stunned by the beauty of the scenery that he was speechless, feeling like he was seeing the world anew.
“How is it?” Allen looked down at Su Bin, whose head was sticking out of his pocket with a dazed expression.
Su Bin sighed. “It’s so beautiful…”
After a while, Su Bin heard Robert’s voice from behind and immediately retreated back into Allen’s pocket.
Allen smiled and patted the pocket. “We’re going to the lab. I need to grab some files.”
Su Bin: “…” Don’t, don’t let anyone find me! q_q
Allen spoke in Chinese, and Robert looked puzzled, not understanding what his young master was talking about.
Staying in Allen’s pocket gave Su Bin an inexplicable sense of comfort. Before long, as they were in the car, Su Bin began to feel sleepy. But without realizing it, Allen’s hand reached into the pocket and started gently kneading him.
Su Bin: “…” Damn it, don’t squeeze me like that! Help—don’t pull my handkerchief, wuu wuu… Keep your fingers away~~!
Unable to tolerate it anymore, Su Bin bit Allen’s finger. Allen paused for a moment, but instead of pulling his hand back, he smirked and pushed his finger deeper into Su Bin’s mouth—“Go ahead, bite!”
“Mm…” You think I won’t really bite? “Waa~~!”
Half a minute later, Su Bin, trembling, curled up at the bottom of the pocket, drawing circles with his tiny hands: I give up… get away from me…
Allen chuckled and let him go, retracting his hand while looking at the tiny bite marks on his finger. Su Bin’s teeth weren’t sharp enough to break the skin.
Allen stuck his tongue out and lazily licked the area where Su Bin had bitten him.
When they arrived at the lab, Su Bin was placed on a table covered with glass containers. It felt like he had entered a glass city. Allen stacked a few items together, making a little play area for Su Bin.
Su Bin climbed up a slanted test tube, slid down from the top, then crawled into a cylindrical cup, pushing it around the table. He had the time of his life, playing around with the glass objects.
After finishing his work, Allen went to find him, only to discover that Su Bin had somehow gotten stuck inside a large Klein bottle and couldn’t get out!
When Su Bin saw Allen, he began knocking on the bottle’s inner wall, tearfully begging for help.
Allen stifled a laugh and snapped a photo of him with his phone before tilting the bottle to let Su Bin crawl out on his own. He held out his hand, letting Su Bin climb onto his palm.
Holding the tiny Su Bin close, Allen asked, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Let’s go out for a meal.”
Su Bin, tilting his head back, replied, “I want chicken!”
Allen took him to a Mexican restaurant. They sat in a quiet corner and ordered a large roasted chicken, with side dishes like mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Once the food arrived and the waiter left, Allen took the starving Su Bin out of his pocket and placed him in front of the massive roasted chicken.
Having been in Allen’s pocket, Su Bin was so hungry that his saliva was about to drown him. When he saw the chicken, as big as a mountain, his eyes widened. “Wow! This is so cool!!!”
Allen smiled and asked, “Do you want to climb up and eat it yourself?”
—Do you want me to take off the handkerchief and climb up? There was no way Su Bin could let go of it! “No, no need, just cut me a bit.”
Allen knew that with Su Bin’s size, he could probably only nibble on a tiny piece of chicken skin, but he couldn’t help himself and cut off an entire chicken leg, handing it to Su Bin. “Here, it’s all yours.”
Su Bin stared in awe at the chicken leg, which was now bigger than himself, and exclaimed, “Holy crap, I could eat this leg for a year!”
Allen: “…”
After struggling for a while, Su Bin hadn’t even seen the bone of the chicken leg, and he was covered in oil.
“I can’t anymore, I’m sick of it! Give me some vegetables!” Su Bin cried out.
Allen handed him a piece of broccoli. Su Bin didn’t care about getting dirty and grabbed the thick stem, chewing on the green florets. After a long time, he had only eaten half of it.
When drinking the soup, things got even more exaggerated. Since there wasn’t a spoon that matched Su Bin’s size, he had to lower his head like a cat and lick it.
Allen hardly ate, spending the entire time watching Su Bin, his heart melting at the sight of how cute he looked.
After they finished eating, Su Bin leaned against the edge of a cup and mused, “Now I think about it, people sometimes don’t have much reason to drive out rats. They only need a little bit of food… People have so much food, giving them a little wouldn’t make a difference.”
Allen nodded. “Yeah, humans are a selfish species by nature.”
When they left, the waiter came to clean up the table, only to find a pile of food scraps that looked like they had been gnawed on by rats.
In the afternoon, Allen went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. While he was shopping, Su Bin napped soundly in Allen’s pocket.
When he woke up and poked his head out, he realized they were already in the kitchen at home!
Looking at the counter piled high with ingredients, Su Bin exclaimed, “What are you going to do with all this?”
Allen: “I’m going to cook dinner for you.” He had some interesting plans for their meal.
Su Bin: “…” Being small has its perks after all! This is not too bad!
Normally, with Su Bin around, Allen never had a chance to cook, so he was a little flustered. Su Bin, from his position at the edge of the pocket, was giving him instructions.
Su Bin: “How many dishes are you going to make?”
Allen: “Seven.”
Su Bin was shocked: “So many! Are you going to do a full-course Western meal?” —Is it really necessary? With my size, a few grains of rice would be enough!
Allen smiled and looked at him. “It’s not the dishes that I’m making, it’s you.”
