Chapter 36 Cat Cake Strikes Back

After that day, the way others looked at you changed slightly, and they even showed mysterious smiles when they saw you and Danheng together.

You offered the explorers delicious food as a bribe, and finally learned the source of the anomaly.

It turns out that Danheng carried you back that night and even took you to your room.

According to the Trail Blazers, she personally witnessed Dan Heng sneaking out of your room early in the morning. From this, she deduced that Dan Heng had stayed in your room all night and only came out the next morning.

After hearing her explanation, you now understand why the other people's eyes were strange.

They probably misunderstood your relationship with Danheng, thinking you've taken things to the next level.

Should we clarify this?

After much hesitation, you ultimately chose not to respond.

...

As the weather gradually turns cooler, you have some free time and decide to knit a scarf for everyone as a winter gift.

Although you haven't studied knitting before, you have a good learning ability. With the help of video tutorials, you can manage to knit about 70-80% of the pieces.

Besides your daily explorations, whenever you have free time, you find a quiet corner, play soothing music, and knit a scarf.

The train recently returned to the space station at the invitation of the Black Tower. Danheng brought the Pioneers and March 7th back to the space station to handle affairs, while Himeko and □□ made final preparations for the Pinocchio trip.

"Mommy, look what I brought!" After some time, the raccoon's excited voice reached your ears.

You look in the direction of the sound and see the pioneer running towards you carrying a bunch of pastry-like creatures.

"Mommy, look!" The little raccoon proudly introduces these amazing creatures to you one by one.

According to her, this is a creature bred by Ms. Nguyen Mai of the Genius Club, called Cat Cake.

"Mmm, mmm..." Several cats cried out in succession, "Meow... meow meow meow..."

"This is just a garbage cake, doesn't it look a lot like me?" The raccoon introduces a gray cat cake to you.

At first glance, it really does look a bit like her.

"And this one, doesn't it look just like Teacher Danheng?"

The cat-shaped cake, with its blue and white color scheme and a maple leaf tied to its paw, was practically tailor-made for Danheng.

"This cat-shaped cake is called Nuomituan (Sticky Rice Ball), isn't it super cute?"

"It's really cute." You couldn't resist touching the kitten, and it quickly let out a comfortable meow, clearly enjoying your touch.

“And this…” The Trailblazer picked up the dark blue cat cake that was hiding in the corner. The cat cake quickly turned into a long cat with all its fur standing on end.

You notice the bandage still wrapped around the kitten's tail, and quickly snatch the kitten back from the pioneer's hands, gently comforting it.

This color scheme and accessories inexplicably remind you of an old friend.

"What's the name of this cat?" you ask.

"It's called sesame crisp, it sounds delicious."

The kitten in his arms meowed twice in dissatisfaction upon hearing this, clearly unhappy with the pioneer's explanation.

This cat is quite intelligent.

Then the trailblazers continued to introduce you to other kittens and even asked if you wanted to adopt a kitten.

"May I?"

"Of course, I can breed lots more cat cakes. Which one do you like, Mom?"

"I think this one is just fine," you said, stroking the bandaged kitten's back with a touch of pity.

"Then I'll give this one to Mom."

"Thanks."

After receiving your affirmation, the Trail Blazers continued to recommend Cat Cake to others.

"Sesame Crisp...this name suits him quite well." You murmured to yourself, the image of Blade appearing in your mind.

If you can't see the real person, finding a substitute isn't bad either.

If you think like this,

After seeing the Trail Blazers off, you put the sesame brittle on the sofa, then got up and went back to your room to get the first-aid kit.

When you come back, Sesame Crisp is outwitting the ball of yarn.

You untangle the yarn and bandages from its body, and then carefully apply the medicine.

"Mmm, mmm..."

"Don't move around. I'll put some medicine on your wound, and it won't hurt anymore."

The little one seemed to understand what you said, lying quietly on your lap, staring intently at the cotton swab in your hand.

After a while, you re-bandaged it, put the medicine back in its place, and then held up the sesame brittle.

It has to be said that its appearance really does resemble a pastry, making one want to take a bite.

I wonder what sesame brittle tastes like?

The little guy has no idea about your wicked thoughts and stares at you with innocent, big eyes.

You couldn't help but kiss its face, and then you saw its tail instantly stand up.

So cute.

If it were the person in question, what would their reaction be?

You imagined it for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

If it were a blade, the reaction would probably be even stronger than with sesame brittle.

...

After a brief hiatus, you find an unopened ball of yarn to use as a toy for Sesame Crisp, and then continue knitting your scarf.

At dinner time, the pioneers promoted the cat cakes in front of everyone. Their efforts paid off; aside from Himeko and □□, the other four each adopted a cat cake.

Four cats gathered together, making "Mmm-niu, mmm-niu" sounds that are so cute they'll melt your heart, making you want to kiss each one.

The four of you instantly transformed into parents watching your own child play. Even the usually aloof Danheng became a cat lover, rubbing Nuomi Tuan relentlessly.

Cat-shaped cakes inject new vitality into the monotonous life on the train, making this big family warmer and more vibrant.

As usual, you steal a moment from your busy schedule to continue your great project of knitting a scarf, while the sesame brittle and glutinous rice ball each occupy one of your legs, meowing as if in a quarrel.

The two little guys were initially friendly, but later became at odds. Specifically, if you held Sesame Crisp, Glutinous Rice Ball would follow you around meowing until you noticed its presence and picked it up. At this point, Sesame Crisp would chase Glutinous Rice Ball away with its tail, as if its territory had been invaded.

The two cats, neither willing to yield to the other, are locked in a fierce battle in your arms, leaving you utterly baffled.

These two get along well with other cats when they're alone, but they fight fiercely when they're together, making you wonder if they inherited their owner's traits and start fighting as soon as they meet.

You can only try your best to carry the water and maintain a balance.

Perhaps this is the trouble of happiness.
