Chapter 46

Sister Ling said that Sheng Jin didn't like to keep animals at home, and raising fish was already the limit. At first, Su He thought he just didn't like it.

But how can a person who personally trims the hooves of his beloved horse and cuts the nails of his white tiger not love animals?

Su He took out his cell phone and started taking pictures of the cat. Seeing that he didn't get angry and chase it away, Xiao Sanhua tried to pick up the koi again, pressed his little white paws on the ground, and began to eat slowly.

The little calico cat in the photo has tangled fur and looks dirty, but it eats very gracefully, with its brown-black tail swaying back and forth. It is actually very beautiful.

Su He picked out a few photos and was about to send them, but his finger was suspended in the air for a long time without pressing it. When he saw Sheng Jinyu's name, he thought of the man's cold face with a passionate and enthusiastic expression, and his face suddenly turned red again.

He raised his hand and patted his cheek to suppress the shame, then typed a few lines and sent them along with the picture.

[Su He]: The little cat from before is here again!

[Su He]: It bit a small fish in the pond. I already scolded it! (fierce.jpg)

[Su Ku]: Look, it even returned the fish. It's a good kid, right? I don't know how long it's been wandering... (crying.jpg)

Su He squatted on the ground, biting his lower lip, thinking about how to ask Sheng Jinyu tactfully if he could keep it in his room.

This time, the other party replied surprisingly quickly, and a short message popped up directly.

[Sheng Jinyu]: Do you want to raise one?

Su He was stunned holding the phone, wondering if he had expressed it so clearly.

He was a little nervous for a moment. At this time, the little Sanhua cat was full. It came over with its round belly and began to rub its furry head against his ankle. Su He lowered his head and touched its little head.

I sent a voice message: "Yes, is it okay?"

He was afraid that Sheng Jinyu would find it bothersome and dirty, so he hurriedly added, "It's very well behaved and doesn't bark much. I keep it in the room and won't let it out to disturb you! If I leave in the future, I will clean up the room, don't worry."

However, after sending the message, there was no response from the other side. Su He sat on the hanging chair in the garden and waited for a while. After Xiao Sanhua had eaten and drunk her fill, she jumped onto him, curled up and began to sleep lazily.

Su He held the cat in his arms and gently kicked the ground with his feet, and the hanging chair began to rock until the last trace of red glow in the sky disappeared and the lights in the villa came on.

Su He touched his rumbling stomach and stood up. Little Sanhua jumped off him and landed on the ground. Su He scratched his chin and said, "Wait for me. If Sheng Jinyu agrees, I'll pick you up."

The little Sanhua meowed, rubbed his fingers, and ran away, looking back every few steps.

Su He originally planned to wait for Sheng Jinyu to come back in the evening and ask him directly in person, but he didn't wait for him to come back. After asking Assistant Fang, he found out that Sheng Jinyu was working overtime on the project and would probably not be back today.

He felt a little disappointed, but couldn't tell why. Was it because he didn't wait for anyone, or because Sheng Jinyu didn't reply to his message?

Su He himself couldn't explain it. He didn't realize that he now had more expectations of Sheng Jinyu than before.

It was almost evening and Su He was planning to take a shower and go to bed, but suddenly someone came to deliver a large express package. The servants counted and unpacked the items neatly and quickly installed them.

Su He stood aside and watched. He didn't react at first, until he saw the cat litter box placed in the corner of the side hall and the cat climbing frame placed next to it, he suddenly reacted.

Sheng Jinyu agreed to let him keep a cat!

Su He was so happy that he almost lost his mind. All the previous disappointment was swept away and disappeared. He wanted to thank Sheng Jinyu immediately, but remembered that he was still busy.

Su He went out with a flashlight to look for the cat. He couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour and searched the huge community for a full half hour. Finally, he found Xiao Sanhua in a grass nest behind a rockery.

Little Sanhua lay in his arms with sleepy eyes. She raised her head dazedly and heard Su He say excitedly, "I'm here to take you home!"

After entering the villa, its chubby little tail swept back and forth, and it looked around the new environment curiously. Su He wiped the dust off the kitten with a wet wipe, opened a can and fed it. After the kitten was full, it played with the cat toy with Su He.

Neither the man nor the cat noticed that a big white animal slid on its wheels and quietly came to the side. The camera of S037 was on, and it was having a video call with someone thousands of miles away.

"Master, Su He is playing with the kitten. Do you want to talk to him?"

"Need not."

Sheng Jinyu leaned back in his chair, his face showing signs of fatigue that he could not hide. He had just finished a three-hour meeting and now had some time to catch his breath before heading to the project site to check on the progress.

He stared at the face on the screen, which was smiling so much that its eyebrows and eyes were curved. His heart felt like it was being hit by a hammer, and it was throbbing with life.

"Wow! Su He is singing to the kitten!" S037 shouted in surprise. It deliberately ran closer so that the sound of Su He humming could be fully recorded into the radio device.

A brisk and gentle voice came from the headphones. Sheng Jinyu paused and raised his hand to turn up the volume. S037 was still praising him mindlessly. Sheng Jinyu said lightly, "Shut up, you're being noisy."

It was so noisy that it almost drowned out Su He's voice.

S037 sobbed and shut up, and everything around him finally quieted down. Sheng Jinyu was able to have a light sleep for half an hour thanks to Su He's lullaby.

·

It was the weekend, and the celebration of H University's anniversary lasted for an entire afternoon. As a banner of Guangzhou's academic community, H University sends talents to all parts of the world every year.

After the celebration, Shen Qi, the most senior and highly respected professor in the Business School, held a birthday banquet at the Pingcheng Guild Hall. She took this opportunity to gather all the students she had taught before her retirement.

Su He was also among the invited guests. After all, the original owner was the last student taught by Professor Shen.

The huge banquet was full of unfamiliar faces, and Su He didn't know any of them. When someone came up to him and greeted him, he would respond politely.

After a circle, I heard someone passing by and whispered to him, "What's so arrogant about him? He dared to go out even though the Su family was still so arrogant."

Su He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't know him!

The only familiar face was also the person Su He least wanted to see. After seeing him, Lin Jing stood not far away and did not come over. He was still wearing his usual suit and tie, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, but he looked a little tired.

The original owner and Lin Jing were graduates of the same year and had a special relationship since their student days, so it was inevitable that they would be called in by Professor Shen to talk together.

When asked about his work, Lin Jing showed some suppressed embarrassment on his face. Su He then realized that he was no longer under the Su Group. It was probably because Sheng Jinyu's "reminder" was like some kind of golden rule of the emperor, which made Su's father dare not use him anymore.

Su He felt a moment of relief, for himself and for the original owner. Although the original owner was not a good person, it was obvious that Lin Jing, an ungrateful person who took advantage of others' misfortunes, was more hated.

He was worried about Xiao Sanhua who was sent to the hospital for a physical examination, and he was absent-minded during his meal. When the show was about to end and he was about to leave, Su He discovered that his cell phone was missing.

He returned the same way and was about to go back to the private room to look for it, but he ran into Lin Jing walking towards him, holding Su He's cell phone in his hand.

"You are still so careless. You didn't even notice that your phone fell on the table." Lin Jing's voice was gentle and his expression was calm.

Su He was suspicious. He clearly remembered putting his phone in his pocket, so how could it fall on the table?

He glanced at Lin Jing, took the phone, and said coldly, "Thank you."

Su He didn't say anything more, turned around and left. Lin Jing followed him slowly, walked to the elevator and pressed the down button before him.

"It's so late, should I take you home?" Lin Jing asked.

Su He distanced himself from him and refused decisively: "No need."

He quietly flipped his phone up and down, but didn't see anything different. He opened the phone again and checked it roughly, but he still felt uneasy, fearing that Lin Jing might do something else.

"Don't you trust me anymore? I didn't do anything, you can rest assured." Lin Jing saw him checking his phone and said while adjusting his glasses.

Su He ignored him and took the elevator downstairs. He looked at the physical examination report sent by the pet hospital.

The calico cat's hind legs showed signs of fracture. Because it had not received treatment for a long time, growth had grown at the broken bone. Fortunately, the surgery had been completed and the kitten would remain a healthy kitten in the future.

He felt a little relieved, and suddenly a heat wave hit him in the face. Su He raised his head and found that he had already walked out of the guild hall, and the person who opened the door for him was Lin Jing.

He was somewhat impatient, so he said to him, "Thank you for helping me find my phone. Please stop following me."

Lin Jing pointed in the direction in front of Su He and smiled: "I want to go this way too."

Su He was speechless. This was indeed the only way to leave. He turned around and walked forward silently, his steps hurried and impatient. Suddenly, a phone call came in. Su He answered without thinking and said in a bad tone, "What for?"

The person on the other side paused, laughed, and said quietly, "Did I provoke you? Why are you so angry?"

It was Sheng Jinyu. Su He was stunned for a moment, then softened his tone: "No, no, is there something wrong? I'll be back soon."

"Is there nothing I can't call you?" Sheng Jin's tone was filled with a barely perceptible smile, and the cold feeling was much less. "Find a place to wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Su He was stunned again. He had reported today's itinerary to Sheng Jin before leaving. Could it be that he was coming too?

"Are you... here to pick me up?" Su He asked uncertainly in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's just on my way home from get off work." Sheng Jinyu chuckled.

Ever since that awkward night, Su He clearly felt that Sheng Jinyu seemed to be in a better mood, with a smile on his face more often, which Su He was a little uncomfortable with.

He was about to reply when he saw Lin Jing, who had been following him, stop and point to a shop on the side of the road and say loudly, "This shop is still open. Ah He, do you want to go in and take a look?"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the person on the other end of the phone to hear.

Su He heard Sheng Jinyu's tone suddenly drop, and asked him, "Who's next to you?"

Su He was so disgusted that he took two quick steps, covered the receiver and whispered to Sheng Jinyu, "Where are you going? Are you almost there? That person is always pestering me..."

His voice was low and soft, sounding like he was acting coquettishly.

Sheng Jin felt as if he was scratched by a cat, and his heartbeat almost skipped a beat. He turned into the auxiliary road and saw Su He and Lin Jing behind him at a glance. His face suddenly turned cold.

A black car braked to a stop beside him. Su He heard the sound of a door closing on his phone and beside him, followed by Sheng Jin's reassuring, deep voice: "I'm here."

After the phone call ended, Sheng Jinyu walked around the front of the car. He was still wearing a dark suit, and his cold and handsome face showed a sense of majesty without even being angry.

He strode over to Su He and half-turned his body to block the two of them. It was a subconscious protective gesture. Sheng Jinyu said to Su He very naturally: "Get in the car. I'll take you to the hospital to see the three-flowered cat. After it's well-trained and the observation period is over, you can take it home."

Seeing Sheng Jinyu, Su He relaxed completely. He smiled, his eyes brightening. "Really? Can we still go see it so late?"

Sheng Jinyu nodded, raised the corner of his mouth, and said urgingly: "If you dawdle any longer, it will really be closed."

An indescribable feeling of intimacy spread between the two of them. Anyone would feel that they had a close relationship. Lin Jing's smile on the side faded a little.

"Are you guys dating?" he asked.

Sheng Jinyu glanced at him coldly, raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand to hold Su He's hand.
