In the manor.

When Xiang Yi returned, it was already past nine in the evening.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the living room seemed undisturbed from afar.

The handsome and innocent actor leaned on a wicker chair by the window as he read a book, with the soft and milky cat sprawled across his legs and snoring happily in its sleep.

Xiang Yi felt an inexplicable warmth bloom in her chest.

Since she was young, her older brothers and family members had coddled her. But they had all been too busy to really accompany her.

She possessed their love but also a long lifetime of loneliness.

During the most sensitive days of her adolescence, Xiang Yi had secretly shed tears in finding that nobody was waiting for her after coming home from school.

Thinking back, she always found it kind of funny.

But at this moment, Xiang Yi suddenly felt a stable sense of safety.

The regrets from before had finally been successfully compensated for, it seemed.

So this was what it felt like to have someone waiting for you with the lights on.

Shi Sui seemed to have sensed something as he sat by the window; looking towards the motion, the gold chains on his glasses swayed slightly with his movement.

Under the soft lamp light in the garden, a slender and fair-skinned girl stood stupidly without moving.

She had changed into a cotton daisy-patterned floral dress under a thin apricot knit sweater, her demeanor radiating of softness and compliance.

Their gaze met for a few seconds until the girl quickened her pace and pitter-pattered into the manor.

Shi Sui pushed his glasses on his nose with a finger as the corners of his mouth curled up.

He picked up Xiao Naofu the Dumb Cat and tossed it behind the trash bin.

The cat opened its eyes with a blank expression on its face.

Who am I? Where am I?

Eh? Xiang Yi?

The kitten hopped over the obstacle as it obediently ran toward Xiang Yi, only to realize that someone had been a step ahead…

“Senior, I’m back!”

“Mhmm, did you eat yet?”

“Not yet… Did you guys?” Xiang Yi changed her shoes at the entrance. “I suddenly crave instant noodles…”

Instant noodles could only taste so good; but it’s a food you couldn’t help but crave once in a while.

“You go rest, I’ll go cook.”

“Heh??” Xiang Yi paused.

Shi Sui looked at her helplessly. “Miss Xiang Yi, this much I can do.”

Xiang Yi was embarrassed. “I wasn’t doubting your abilities, I’m just a little surprised… Uhm, Senior, please don’t call me miss; it sounds quite strange.”

“Then what do I call you? Pretty girl? Fairy in a bottle? Punk Yi mei?”

Xiang Yi had a bad feeling. “Senior, you didn’t watch my livestream did you…”

Shi Sui raised his eyebrows in admittance.

Not only did he watch it, he had done so in front of millions of netizens. 🙂

“Meow meow! Meow meow meow!!” Xiao Naofu circled around Xiang Yi’s legs.

Xiang Yi hurriedly picked up the small cat.

Xiao Naofu furiously rubbed its head against her chest as if it had been wronged, pressing on Xiang Yi’s collar bones with its chubby paws, as if it was tattling on someone.

Shi Sui squinted slightly as a glint of threat flashed through his eyes.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Naofu? Are you hungry?”

Xiang Yi touched its belly, which was round as a ball. It probably wasn’t hungry.

Xiao Naofu looked at Shi Sui with watery eyes as it buried its head in the girl’s arms, grieving. “Meowuuu…”

Shi Sui did not say anything.

Xiang Yi gently asked, “You mean to say, senior was bullying you?”

“Meow~” Yes!

Then next second, the girl coddled, “Don’t misunderstand him; he’s a very very good person.”

Xiao Naofu: ???

Its pupils widened in shock.

Shi Sui chuckled as he turned and entered the kitchen.

Behind him, the young girl continued to flatter him with rainbow farts. “Look here, look here, you see, Senior is entering the kitchen, he knows how to take care of cats and cook. What a godly man!”
