Exiting the laboratory, Lu Zixun felt as if his entire cat body had been hollowed out.
At the same time as his body felt incredibly weak, there wasn’t a single soul waiting for him outside.
He collapsed on the ground in desolation.
As Lu Zixun reached out weakly, he was mentally overdramatizing the situation.
Suddenly, a female voice rang out, causing the expression on Lu Zixun’s face to freeze.
"Lord Cat, what are you doing here?"
Gongsun Li, hugging a pile of documents, had just come out of the elevator, looking at Lu Zixun with a puzzled expression on her face.
Suddenly standing up from the ground, Lu Zixun decided to play it cool and lightly coughed, "Performance art, performance art."
A blood draw wasn’t really something that would leave Lu Zixun this weak.
It was just that he hadn’t expected Xiong Kang to be the kind of person who values beauty over friendship, and he felt somewhat annoyed at heart.
As Lu Zixun pondered over this issue, Gongsun Li appeared in front of him again.
The dossier in her hands had already vanished, presumably delivered to some office.
"Lord Cat, would you like to join me for dinner?"
Inviting Lu Zixun, Gongsun Li smiled broadly with a twinkle in her eyes.
Shaking his head, Lu Zixun headed toward the elevator, "I have to go to the hospital later, you go ahead and eat."
The elevator arrived and Lu Zixun darted in, followed by Gongsun Li.
She pressed the button for the twelfth floor and for Lu Zixun, the first floor.
The elevator reached the twelfth floor, and after Gongsun Li stepped out, she turned her gaze back to Lu Zixun.
Extending his tail to stop the closing elevator doors, Lu Zixun looked up at Gongsun Li.
Brushing away the locks of hair obstructing her view, Gongsun Li gave Lu Zixun a gentle smile, "If you need any help, feel free to ask the Gongsun Family. You are our Guardian Beast, after all."
Seeing the sincerity in Gongsun Li’s eyes, Lu Zixun felt a warmth inside and nodded, "I will."
Lifting her hand, Gongsun Li waved at Lu Zixun and pursed her lips, "Farewell then, Lord Cat. Be safe on your way."
The elevator reached the first floor.
Inside the sto, nobody didn’t recognize Lu Zixun, so naturally, no one would stop a suspicious-looking cat from wandering around the sto building.
He made his way out of the building without any obstacles and was about to take a shortcut through an alley to the hospital when Lu Zixun thought of the recent attack and suddenly shivered.
He pondered for a moment.
It was still safer to take a detour in case the Insect Clan came doubling back.
Walking on the main road, listening to the occasional laughter and honking around him, Lu Zixun’s mood brightened up a bit.
Living in isolation from the mortal world wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
While Lu Zixun was strolling, a girl in a school uniform pulled her companion’s arm and pointed at Lu Zixun.
"But, isn’t it a bit fat?"
Just as Lu Zixun was about to lie down and let the girl pet him, his face darkened instantly.
He continued walking straight ahead without looking back.
These days, why do people always attack cats about their weight? Don’t cats have any dignity?
Still feeling indignant, Lu Zixun had only taken a few steps when the schoolgirl who had called him fat came running up.
In her hand was a grilled sausage that she had pulled out from who knows where.
"Kitty, do you want something to eat?"
"**Ding**—Affinity value from Li Yalin +500."
Smelling the aroma wafting from the grilled sausage, Lu Zixun swallowed his saliva.
I mean, what kind of cat does she think I am, the stoic Lord Cat of the Gongsun Family’s Guardian Beast? As if I would be tempted by a mere grilled sausage...
"Wow, this cat has such soft fur."
Lu Zixun, who was lying down eating the grilled sausage, let Li Yalin stroke his fur.
As for why he suddenly started eating that sausage.
Lu Zixun simply thought that since she went through the trouble to buy it, it would seem rather petty to make a fuss over it.
Li Yalin’s companion didn’t squat down and looked at Lu Zixun with disgust: "This one looks like a stray cat; it might carry some diseases."
"**Ding**—Disgust value from Meng Xincheng +500."
He shot a glance at Meng Xincheng from the corner of his eye.
Lu Zixun wanted to lay a hand on her to teach her a lesson, but after a thought, he gave up.
Having just come out of the blood-drawing room, he indeed did somewhat resemble a stray cat; it’s normal to be disliked.
Opening her palm, Li Yalin grinned at Meng Xincheng: "Look, Xin Cheng, very clean!"
Without a second glance, Meng Xincheng dragged Li Yalin by the arm to leave.
Knowing that Meng Xincheng had her best interests at heart, Li Yalin sighed softly without resisting.
She stood up, waved at Lu Zixun: "Kitty, I’m leaving."
Lazily lifting his paw, he waved back at this kind-hearted young girl.
Lu Zixun looked up through the gaps in the leaves at the faint light, thought for a moment, then released a thread of Ice Spiritual Ability, which followed Li Yalin.
The weather was quite hot; with that bit of Spiritual Energy, it would keep Li Yalin cool all day, a little help from him.
Getting up and heading toward the hospital, Lu Zixun didn’t pause along the way, reaching the hospital in ten minutes.
Pushing open the door to room 1572, Lu Zixun called out.
"Great timing, we were about to order takeout, what do you want to eat?"
Holding her phone, Lin Siyin smiled at Lu Zixun and shook her phone as she asked.
Jumping next to Lin Siyin, after a glance.
Having ordered something random, Lu Zixun asked: "Why aren’t you heading back to Qingniao University? Has Su Nian not recovered yet?"
Su Nian shook her head in response: "I feel really good now, but the hospital wants to keep me for observation for two more days to prevent the spread of any epidemic."
Lu Zixun replied softly, curled up on Lin Siyin’s legs, and began to enter nap mode.
While watching videos, Su Nian suddenly smelled a fragrance like shampoo at the tip of her nose.
She sniffed the air and realized it was coming from Lu Zixun, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Si Yin, your Da Ju has been flirting with other girls."
Chuckling cheekily, Su Nian stirred the pot as she told Lin Siyin.
Confused, Lin Siyin glanced at Su Nian, then bent down to sniff Lu Zixun.
She did indeed detect a scent and shook her head: "Isn’t that normal? My Da Ju is so adorable."
As she stroked the sleeping Lu Zixun’s fur, Lin Siyin pursed her lips: "But I need to warn Da Ju that some people aren’t nice at all."
Originally keen to enjoy the commotion, Su Nian couldn’t help but shake her head when she heard Lin Siyin speak.
"With Da Ju’s charm, he’s bound to bring home a wife for you to meet sooner or later."
