Chapter 70 Meow Yellow: Don't treat me like a child!
Chapter 70 Meow Yellow: Don't treat me like a child!
"Hmph hmph hmph."
At the same time, Lin Xuanyi let out a cheerful laugh, attracting Miao Huang's attention.
She subconsciously thought that Lin Xuanyi found her funny and was making fun of her.
"No, no, I just suddenly thought of something funny." Lin Xuan waved his hand and then said to Miao Huang.
If it were Xingyin, Lin Xuanyi would have easily fooled her, but Miaohuang wasn't that kind of person. She continued to look at Lin Xuanyi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Lin Xuanyi: "Okay, okay, I was just thinking that if people saw us like this, they might misunderstand our relationship."
Hearing Lin Xuanyi say this, Miao Huang stopped eating the sandwich in huge bites, feeling a little embarrassed and shy.
Of course, this shyness disappeared the very next second after Lin Xuanyi gave his assessment:
"It feels like a father and daughter."
If they were a couple, it would be the most romantic; if they were siblings, it would be the most heartwarming. But Lin Xuanyi had to choose the one who would best provoke the cat-and-chicken mentality.
Meow Yellow: !
I don't want to bite into the sandwich anymore; I want to bite the man in front of me instead.
But I held back.
Meow Yellow is the kind of cat that knows how to repay kindness, not Hakimi who has mental problems.
If she were a pure stray cat, she would definitely be the type that if you fed her, she would bring an enormous mouse to your doorstep the next day.
Although on the surface she didn't show any gratitude for Lin Xuan taking her home and making her breakfast, in her heart, Miao Huang had already silently remembered this favor and was waiting to repay it tenfold in the future.
...But the thought that Lin Xuanyi said their relationship was like that of a father and daughter still made Miao Huang unhappy.
……
She finished her sandwich in large bites, then instead of immediately eating the next one, she looked at Lin Xuanyi across from her:
"So, you took me to your place last night?"
"No, that's not it," Lin Xuanyi said. "This isn't a home, it's a safe house."
He wasn't exactly lying, but he didn't need to tell Miaohuang that the safe house belonged to the villainous organization.
Meow Yellow: "Oh..."
Lin Xuanyi's words made Miao Huang have some other thoughts.
Yes, how could guys in this line of work possibly have families? If they don't even have family, then they can't really call it a family.
The so-called place to settle down is nothing more than a "safe house".
Miao Huang felt a little empathy for Lin Xuanyi. At the same time, she looked at Lin Xuanyi's cup.
Unlike her hot milk, this one contained brown coffee. This made Meow Yellow a little eager to try it.
Unfortunately, her identity prevented her from directly telling Lin Xuanyi, "I want that!" She could only continue silently drinking her hot milk.
Lin Xuanyi: "And what about you?"
Miao Huang then heard Lin Xuanyi ask, "You didn't go home all night, were your family worried?"
Lin Xuanyi's younger sister, Yue, was naturally worried about him and called him, but he, who was already prepared, brushed her off by saying he was "working overtime."
Of course, the PhD wasn't exactly lying.
……
"I have no family."
Miao Huang's answer left Lin Xuanyi silent for a few seconds.
"Feel sorry."
"It's nothing, I'm used to it." Meow Yellow's tone was relaxed. "Also, don't look at me with that pitying look. I don't need it."
What a joke! She clearly needed it. Last night, when she nestled in Lin Xuanyi's arms, that soft and weak little cat looked like she was desperately needing love. Lin Xuanyi hadn't forgotten that.
However, since she was being so stubborn, Lin Xuanyi wouldn't call her out. Of course, it wasn't appropriate to continue teasing her in this situation.
"Sorry, it wasn't directed at you."
After throwing a small tantrum, Miao Huang said this to Lin Xuanyi while starting to eat her third sandwich: "I'm just used to it."
"Have you gotten used to being alone?"
"Um."
"You're very strong."
"No praise needed, thank you."
"And it's very difficult to deal with."
"Hello!"
"Okay, okay, it's just that Meow Yellow is so cute that I couldn't resist teasing it."
"Don't treat me like a child!"
"But, Meow Yellow, whether from a legal or objective physiological point of view, you are still a child."
When Lin Xuan said this, his tone was extremely calm, as if he were stating an objective fact.
Miao Huang slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
Lin Xuanyi's words could practically be described as a provocation.
She wanted to glare at him fiercely, or simply pin him against the wall, grab his collar, and threaten him harshly not to talk to him like that.
But it's just a thought.
Miao Huang still remembered the good things Lin Xuan had done for her, and was certain that he had said it out of kindness.
But she still doesn't need care, sympathy, pity, or anything like that.
She is the invincible magical girl, MeowGold. She's not some little kid who needs to be taken care of. Over a decade of life has taught her one thing: a person can only rely on themselves.
Meow Yellow: "I'm full. Thank you for breakfast." Then, without saying anything, she pushed the table, stood up, and turned to leave, until the next second, something was thrown at her.
She took it and confirmed that it was an electronic card.
"I will continue to use this safe house for the next period of time," Lin Xuan said to her. "Here is the room key."
Miao Huang instinctively wanted to refuse, but Lin Xuanyi's next words made her change her mind:
"Weren't you going to spy on me, Meow Yellow? So you won't refuse more time together, right?"
Meow Yellow: "If that's how you put it, then I'll reluctantly accept it."
After saying that, she turned around again, put her hood back on, lowered her head slightly, and began to change her shoes.
"See you tonight." Lin Xuanyi's farewell voice came from behind.
"Mmm," Miao Huang replied, then closed the door.
It was a cloudy day outside, and a cold wind was blowing against my face. It might snow next, but Meow Yellow wasn't in a bad mood. In fact, you could say it was rather warm.
"That guy... isn't a bad person."
Miao Huang gave Lin Xuan this evaluation: "It's even a bit too good."
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but sigh.
From a rational perspective, she felt she should observe further. But from an emotional perspective, Miaohuang decided to stop doubting him.
Fighting side-by-side last night was one reason. But the bigger reason was the care Lin Xuanyi would give her afterwards.
This is the first time in my memory that someone has taken such gentle care of me.
I have to say, it wasn't a bad feeling. It's a real shame it only happened once.
"Then let's remove this guy from the surveillance list."
Meow Yellow thought to itself, "I'll treat it like a normal companion, and only act together as a group from now on, instead of contacting it privately."
Although it's a bit of a regret, I was still quite happy with him. But Miao Huang is a straightforward and honest person. He wouldn't deceive himself by saying, "I need to observe him further," and then use that as an excuse to go on dates and satisfy his own desires.
"I'll talk to him about it tonight," she thought.
Although there are still some regrets, this is the only way to put Miaohuang at ease.
Both Lin Xuanyi and himself felt at ease.
