Shu Bai took a deep breath, pushed open the express delivery locker door, and walked out.

Under the moonlight, the sight before him made his eyelids twitch.

Li Yuheng was squatting on the ground with several colorful bottles in front of him.

There are green beer bottles, clear liquor bottles, and a pink fruit wine bottle.

There were several disposable paper cups stacked up next to it, and another one was being controlled by an invisible force, slowly spinning in mid-air.

Upon seeing Shu Bai, Li Yuheng opened his mouth to begin his boastful speech: "Let me tell you, I—"

Then Shu Bai raised one paw and made a stop gesture.

"Don't speak yet."

The voice seemed a little too gentle, like a breeze brushing past your ear on an early autumn night, with an almost lingering tone.

Li Yuheng's remaining words caught in his throat. He stared wide-eyed at Shu Bai in disbelief.

This cat...did it take the wrong medicine?

Or is there something wrong with his ears?

He didn't react for a moment, tilted his head, his ears twitched in confusion, and forgot to control the paper cup that was hanging in mid-air, which fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing his somewhat dazed expression, Shu Bai continued, "Before starting any other activities, I need to do one thing first."

Li Yuheng subconsciously replied, "...What is it?"

"I'll beat you up first."

Li Yuheng: "...???"

He was stunned for a full three seconds before he could process what he had just said.

Those usually bright and spirited dog eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Why?" Li Yuheng cried out, his voice full of grievance. "Look at me! I went through so much trouble to get all this wine, and even brought cups! Just so we could enjoy the moon and drink together! Look at my sincerity! Look at my earnest eyes! How could you bear to hit me?"

He tried to open his eyes wide, attempting to make himself appear incredibly innocent and pure.

Shu Bai's smile remained unchanged, even becoming more amiable. He gently shook his head.

"This is not a question of whether or not I'm willing to give it up."

"...What's the problem?"

Shu Bai took a step closer, a dangerous glint in his cat-like eyes: "You don't need to know."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the black and white figure pounced forward.

Caught off guard, Li Yuheng was forcefully pushed to the ground, his back slamming into a pile of fallen leaves with a dull thud.

"Aww!"

He let out a short cry, then his limbs stiffened, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at the sky, motionless.

Shu Bai maintained his subdued posture, his paws pressed against his chest, preparing to proceed with the next step of discipline, when he discovered that the dog beneath him had suddenly gone silent.

He frowned and lightly patted Li Yuheng's face with his paw: "Hey, stop playing dead."

Li Yuheng did not react at all, only a very faint, trembling gasp came from his throat.

Shu Bai's movements stopped.

He stared at Li Yuheng for a few seconds and noticed that the stupid dog's tail was stiffly pressed to the ground, and his eyes were starting to glaze over.

...No way?

He knew the force with which he lunged; it definitely wasn't that strong...

Shu Bai hesitated for a moment, then loosened his grip slightly and leaned closer, wanting to take a closer look at Li Yuheng's condition.

The moment he lowered his head, Li Yuheng's previously unfocused eyes suddenly sharpened, a sly glint in them.

He kicked off with his hind leg, striking Shu Bai's abdomen precisely, while twisting his body at the same time.

"Awoo!"

The situation reversed instantly.

Caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, Shu Bai felt a pain in her abdomen and her strength loosened, allowing Li Yuheng to take advantage of the situation and flip over, pinning her down.

Li Yuheng grinned smugly, "Haha! You fell for it, didn't you! Silly cat! Trying to outsmart me? You're still too green!"

Shu Bai was pinned to the ground, so angry that his fur stood on end: "You cheated!"

"Don't you understand the principle of 'all's fair in war'? Who gave you permission to strike first?"

As Li Yuheng spoke, he subconsciously pressed down on Shu Bai's chest with his front paws, trying to hold the cat down more firmly.

Um?

The texture doesn't feel right.

Li Yuheng subconsciously pressed it twice more, and the sensation under his claws was clearly a small, hard protrusion.

"Hmm?" He tilted his head, his dog face full of pure confusion. "You have moles on your belly? And more than one? And here... it looks like there are some too? Is it a skin condition? Should we take you to the vet?"

As he spoke, he gently poked one of the fleshy bumps with his paw.

The cat froze instantly.

Li Yuheng was still engrossed in his study, even lowering his head to sniff it: "Strange, this mole is quite symmetrical..."

Before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly.

symmetry……?

abdomen……?

A small bump...?

A basic common sense belonging to mammals, like a belated lightning bolt, struck his dog brain, which was clouded by the filter of his best friend.

Li Yuheng's movements froze instantly. His entire body seemed to have been frozen in mid-air, even the tips of his ears were suspended in mid-air.

The air froze for three seconds.

"Where the hell are you touching?!"

Shu Bai suddenly sprang up, flipped over and threw Li Yuheng aside, and scrambled to his feet.

His eyes were icy cold, and also carried a hint of disbelief and shame.

Li Yuheng remained in the flipped-over position, his four paws pointing upwards, staring straight at the sky, as if his soul had left his body.

His mind was racing:

It's a bob! It's a bob!

Male cats too!

How could he have forgotten about that?!

He touched it several times just now!

They even said it was a mole!

We're doomed.

Li Yuheng slowly turned his head towards Shu Bai.

Shu Bai was staring at him with the eyes of someone killing a dog, her claws already outstretched, clearly considering where to strike for the best revenge.

“Um…” Li Yuheng’s throat was dry as he tried to explain, “I swear, I really didn’t mean to.”

Shu Bai let out a cold laugh through his nose.

"I just... didn't react for a moment." Li Yuheng tried to make his eyes appear sincere. "You know, I... don't usually pay much attention to these details."

Shu Bai took a step forward, crushing the fallen leaves under his claws.

"And!" Li Yuheng suddenly remembered something, as if grasping at a lifeline, "Our dogs look like that too! Really! You won't believe me, just look!"

He was about to demonstrate.

"Who wants to see this!" Shu Bai was practically driven mad by his bizarre thought process. She slapped the ground next to Li Yuheng with her paw, scattering a few leaves. "What's going on in your head?!"

“It was all an act of yours!” Li Yuheng blurted out, then paused for a moment before quickly adding, “No, I meant, I was pretending to be your best buddy!”

Shu Bai stared at him, her eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions—anger, absurdity, and a hint of something Li Yuheng couldn't decipher.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yuheng thought he didn't believe him and continued to try: "It's true! Look, we were just playing around and accidentally bumped into each other, right? What's a little thing between brothers?"

The more he talked, the more sense it made, and he even started trying to rationalize it: "If you feel you've lost out, why don't you... touch it back?"

"I promise I won't resist! Really! Touch me! Touch me all you want! Touch me until my skin is bald! We'll call it even!"

Shu Bai stared intently at Li Yuheng, and after a long while, finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"...I'll touch your grandpa."

“I don’t have an uncle!” Li Yuheng immediately retorted, “I’m an only child! You can touch me!”
