Hearing this, Lu Zixun paused in eating and turned to look at Xiong Kang, "Really? Isn’t she supposed to arrive in the afternoon?"
Gazing out at the sun hanging in the sky.
Lu Zixun seriously suspected that Xiong Kang was fooling him.
"There’s a thing called changing flights."
He said lightly, Xiong Kang downed his coffee in one gulp, "Your owner said she missed you and could only stay a short while, so she changed her flight."
Before he could finish, Xiong Kang feigned regret, "Tsk, tsk, if only some young lady would do that for me, I’d marry myself off right away."
Bai Yiyi, who had walked in from outside, couldn’t help but say upon hearing this, "Isn’t that what the young miss from the Guo Family does for you? How come I haven’t seen you marry her?"
Lu Zixun looked at Xiong Kang with a sly grin, and Xiong Kang’s old face instantly couldn’t hang on anymore.
"Ding—Detecting an embarrassment value +4000 from Xiong Kang."
"What nonsense! That’s not true!"
He hurriedly argued a couple of sentences, vehemently denying it.
But to Lu Zixun and Bai Yiyi, this seemed no different from the behavior of a man with extra money in hand denying there was any.
After a couple of snickers, Lu Zixun seemed to remember something.
His expression instantly turned bitter, "If I speak up, will I scare her?"
Raising his arm and touching his chin, Xiong Kang pondered for a while, "I reckon you might, considering that my investigation shows your owner is just a regular person. The impact of a talking cat is still pretty strong."
Bai Yiyi, who was watching Lu Zixun, smelled something amiss and raised an eyebrow, "Lord Cat, are you saying you like your owner?"
Xiong Kang rolled his eyes at Bai Yiyi in silence, "What cat doesn’t like its owner? Your question makes no sense."
"I’m not talking about that kind of liking."
With a light laugh, Bai Yiyi looked at Xiong Kang with a shift in her expression, "The kind of liking that Guo Xin’er has for you."
Feeling as if struck at the heart, Xiong Kang suddenly fell silent.
Lu Zixun chewed over Bai Yiyi’s words and shook his head, "That shouldn’t be the case, right?"
Casting a meaningful glance at Lu Zixun, Bai Yiyi giggled behind her hand for a while, "It’s not only women who want to look good for someone they fancy, men also care about their image in the eyes of their beloved."
"You’re on a slippery slope."
Dissatisfied, Xiong Kang knocked on the table, "My Da Ju is very wholesome in thought. He just doesn’t want to scare his owner, look at what you’re implying."
Raising her hands in mock surrender, Bai Yiyi shook her head, "Alright, alright, my bad, I’m wrong."
Lu Zixun, who was lying on the table, however, felt lost.
Do I really like Lin Siyin?
While they were talking about the Ye Family, they saw Lu Zixun deep in thought.
Bai Yiyi and Xiong Kang exchanged glances, both spotting three large characters in each other’s eyes—
Such a situation is normal for humans.
But for a cat, it’s quite strange.
Xiong Kang extended a finger and poked Lu Zixun.
As Lu Zixun turned his head, Xiong Kang organized his thoughts and asked, "Da Ju, what... are you thinking about?"
Lu Zixun didn’t hide anything and straightforwardly said, "I’m thinking, do I like my miss?"
Xiong Kang took a sharp breath, normally full of snark, but now, he was caught in a state best described as bewildered.
"Ding—Detecting a surprise value +500 from Bai Yiyi."
"Ding—Detecting a overwhelmed value +4000 from Xiong Kang."
After a pause, Bai Yiyi cautiously said, "Lord Cat, have you come to a conclusion?"
"Definitely thought of it, huh."
Lu Zixun nodded, saying earnestly, "In such a chaotic world, I just want to protect my Miss. Isn’t that liking? Isn’t that love?"
The two exchanged glances again, simultaneously letting out a breath of relief.
"I’m really envious."
"Ding—Envy Value from Bai Yiyi detected +500."
Bai Yiyi’s gaze fell upon Lu Zixun, her eyes filled with envy.
Being able to say such words meant that Lu Zixun truly "liked" Lin Siyin.
And the words of a simple cat like him, were hundreds of times more sincere than those men who only knew how to talk but not act on their promises.
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Glancing at his watch, Xiong Kang grabbed Lu Zixun into his arms and dashed outside.
Seated in the car, Lu Zixun felt an inexplicable nervousness inside.
Squatting in the passenger seat, his tail kept wagging non-stop.
"Bro, I’m calling you bro."
Sighing helplessly, Xiong Kang shot Lu Zixun a glance, "Can your tail stop for a bit? It’s making my eyes hurt."
Lu Zixun looked over at Xiong Kang and casually hugged his tail to his chest.
The tail might have stopped moving, but his entire head was swaying back and forth.
If it weren’t that this place wasn’t a nightclub, Xiong Kang would have thought that Lu Zixun was dancing to the music.
While waiting for the traffic light, Xiong Kang turned to Lu Zixun, "Da Ju, what exactly are you fretting about? Tell me."
"I’m just struggling with something."
With a face squished together, Lu Zixun spoke with a troubled look, "I feel it’s not right to keep the secret that I can talk from Lin Siyin, but I’m afraid of scaring her if I don’t."
"Then don’t keep it a secret."
Driving past the red light, Xiong Kang responded.
"But what if it scares her?"
"Then keep it a secret."
"And if she suddenly finds out that I can talk later on, won’t she blame me?"
"Then don’t keep it a secret."
"Ding—Anger Value detected from Xiong Kang +4000."
"Would you shut up already?"
Glaring fiercely at Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang rubbed his aching head, "Think about it this way, if your owner really likes you a lot, there shouldn’t be a problem with you talking."
"People always want a pet they can chat with. If she doesn’t like you, then..."
Pausing for a moment, Xiong Kang continued, "Even if you had the most incredible abilities, she wouldn’t spare you a second glance."
"Is that really how it is?"
Lu Zixun, realizing the logic, looked at Xiong Kang in surprise.
But upon finishing this conversation, an expression of loss flickered in Xiong Kang’s eyes.
For a moment, he pursed his lips, gazing ahead.
Seems is a man with a story too.
Looking at the Awakening Fruit inside the backpack, Lu Zixun had made up his mind. He had to let Lin Siyin know that he wasn’t just an ordinary cat.
Otherwise, he couldn’t give the Awakening Fruit to Lin Siyin.
Arriving at Dragon Cave Airport, there were five minutes left until Lin Siyin’s flight would land.
Standing on top of the car, Lu Zixun raised his head to gaze at the airport.
Someone blindfolded Lu Zixun’s eyes.
