Shen Jingqi felt his heart pounding.
Your face changed so quickly!
The silver shaded cat next to him also changed its posture, lying on the ground, tail coiled behind.
This cat has become enlightened too.
Facing different personas, Tuantuan actually shows different attitudes.
"I’m listening to music."
Shen Jingqi acted very obediently.
Li Baiyu looked at the audio on her phone.
"This is the song you recorded at my place that day, for cats." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
Li Baiyu clicked it once and saved it.
"Alright, I’ll use this to soothe the cat."
"I’m tired, going to sleep."
"Okay, don’t forget to drink milk before sleeping."
Li Baiyu picked up the milk and twisted the cap off.
Wow, senior has quite the strength.
Completely different from the person who was a bit flustered facing the fish.
Tilting her neck, smooth milk slid into her mouth.
Watching senior’s neck and mouth, Shen Jingqi couldn’t help but swallow.
Her swan-like neck was white and translucent, glistening.
White milk residue remained on her lips, wiped clean in an instant.
Just a simple action, yet so captivating.
Li Baiyu shook the empty bottle.
"That’s it for today."
As the video ended, Shen Jingqi felt a bit lost.
He tidied up a bit and turned off the lights to sleep.
A good night’s sleep.
In the morning, the cat woke him up again.
Purring, purring, purring.
The kitten’s sound was like a tram engine.
Today the kitten seemed especially affectionate towards him.
The notification sound rang.
Li Baiyu is already awake?
Shen Jingqi connected the video.
"Why are you still in bed?"
"I’m getting up now."
Shen Jingqi propped the phone up so Li Baiyu could see the cat.
"Milk was very effective, I slept very well last night. Thank you."
"Really effective? Great, I’ll send you a bottle every day."
Shen Jingqi was feeding the cat and looked back, Li Baiyu’s complexion was indeed much better than yesterday.
This milk should take an extra bottle today and drink some himself.
Shen Jingqi picked up the bottle, sprayed some fragrance, and the cat room was instantly refreshed.
Opened the window to air out.
The silver shaded cat squinted, looked at the sunlight for a while, then patiently licked its fur.
The kitten washed its face, taking quite a while.
With the window closed, the room still carried the scent of sunshine.
Filled the silver shaded cat’s food and water, tidied up the clutter.
Shen Jingqi finished tidying up and prepared to go out.
"Senior, I’m going to work."
"By the way, buy some greens in the evening, Tuantuan likes eating leaves."
A cat that likes eating greens?
Shen Jingqi couldn’t help but laugh.
In the car, Uncle Li was also in a great mood.
"Today is a sunny day."
Uncle Li chatted cheerfully.
"Compared to yesterday’s windy weather, today is really comfortable."
Shen Jingqi noticed Uncle Li’s spirits were exceptionally good as well.
"Sunny day indeed lifts the mood."
"Full of energy, full of motivation."
Uncle Li passionately spun the steering wheel.
On the morning road, there were many vehicles.
Encountered a traffic light, had to stop and wait.
Shen Jingqi casually observed outside.
Some people had words of varying lengths appearing above their heads.
An elderly lady supported a slightly younger gentleman, words floating above:
"Retired for 3 years, involved in an affair for 24 years."
No idea whether that man was her husband or her affair partner.
The two slowly crossed the street, disappearing into the crowd.
At the next intersection, the traffic light duration was longer.
This was near Shen University, a crucial traffic junction with a larger crowd.
People on the road were walking in great numbers.
A woman nearby seemed to be wandering.
She didn’t look like she was crossing, rather like she was searching for something.
Shen Jingqi looked at the words above her head.
"Master’s for 2 years, social anxiety."
In the next second, the words moved away.
Turns out, there was a misalignment.
The words belonged to someone of similar height beside her.
The woman’s head had no words at all.
The green light turned on.
Uncle Li started the car.
Simultaneously, the woman looked towards the car.
Uncle Li seemed to have seen the woman too.
The car accelerated quickly, driving onto the road.
Shen Jingqi looked back, only to see the woman walking towards the car.
"Uncle Li, at the intersection near Shen University, a woman seemed to be watching us."
"Ignore those people."
Yet Shen Jingqi sensed a difference in Uncle Li’s mood.
Previously, Uncle Li was always calm and peaceful, but just now he had a major change.
When the car reached the next intersection, Uncle Li regained his composure.
"Did you really see a woman just now?"
Shen Jingqi saw Uncle Li turn around.
A weathered face appeared before him.
The face carried a sense of familiarity.
Alienation, oppression, and a cold, metallic feel.
As if the owner held their breath!
Eyes sharp as blades!
For a moment, Shen Jingqi seemed to see an electrical current flash across Uncle Li’s right face.
"Yes, that woman kept wandering at the intersection, not crossing the road."
Shen Jingqi was a bit nervous but remained composed.
At this moment, the green light came on.
Uncle Li turned back and continued driving.
Shen Jingqi felt the oppressive aura vanish instantly.
"Haha, she wouldn’t cross the road."
Uncle Li didn’t drive as fast as before.
This made Shen Jingqi feel that Uncle Li’s actions at Shen University intersection were intentional; he was speeding to get away from the woman.
"Just now, that place, the lady lived there for many years. But since last year, it made her uncomfortable, so she moved to her current residence."
Shen Jingqi thought, Uncle Li probably frequented Shen University area before, so he was familiar with these intersections.
As for driving away quickly, presumably to avoid this place.
"That intersection sometimes triggers her emotions. When I see the intersection, I accelerate, it’s a habit. Today, unfortunately, a red light appeared, waited so long, lucky she wasn’t in the car."
Uncle Li felt a sense of relief.
Through the car window, Shen Jingqi saw some electrical-like things flashing on the glass bar.
Reflected on Uncle Li’s face.
Shen Jingqi’s brain spun quickly.
Why was Uncle Li so concerned about that intersection? Because Li Baiyu would have emotions.
Shen Jingqi remembered Li Baiyu telling him on her first day at the hospital about losing control at the intersection.
That’s because Li Baiyu saw her illusion.
Could there be any clues in this?
