[Chapter 71: The Rivalry between Two Men]

When passing Building 9, Lin Yin heard a faint cry.

It seems to be coming from the upper right side.

There was a row of lush trees blocking the road.

Lin Yin pulled Huo Jingze and walked over there. Sure enough, they saw a little orange kitten being pinned to the ground by a big white dog on the empty ground between the bushes.

The kitten shivered and panted in dissatisfaction.

The big dog showed its sharp teeth and lowered its head to bite.

Lin Yin looked panicked and ran up quickly, "Go away, don't bite!"

She went up with her bare hands.

The big dog was obviously not afraid of people, and seemed to think that Lin Yin was meddling in its business. It bared its teeth, stared at Lin Yin viciously, and scratched the ground with its claws twice, as if ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, the big dog roared and pounced on him.

Lin Yin picked up the kitten on the ground and subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

She was sure to be bitten, so she closed her eyes tightly and prepared herself to be bitten.

"Bang--"

The expected pain did not come.

Instead, I heard a loud noise of something heavy falling to the ground, followed by the miserable barking of a dog.

Lin Yin opened her eyes and saw Huo Jingze's handsome face. "You are so stupid that I have nothing to say."

The dog was kicked away by him, and after falling heavily to the ground, it let out a miserable cry and ran away with its tail between its legs.

Lin Yin breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroked the frightened cat in her arms, raised her little face and smiled, "I have Lawyer Huo. With you here, how can a dog bully me?"

This is quite comforting.

Huo Jingze's expression became better. He glanced at the shivering kitten in her arms and said with a little disdain, "Hurry up and let its owner take it away."

Lin Yin sent a message to Fu Huaijin, saying that the kitten had been found and they were on their way back.

701.

The kitten seemed to regard Lin Yin as its savior. It stayed in Lin Yin's arms and refused to come out. Its big cat eyes stared at Lin Yin without blinking. It stretched out its little paws to scratch Lin Yin's face and kissed her.

Fu Huaijin smiled and said, "Tangyuan likes you very much."

Lin Yin stroked the kitten's soft fur with a gentle look in her eyes. "It was surprised today. It probably thinks of me as its savior."

"You can come and see it more often when you have time." She looked at the cat and Fu Huaijin looked at her.

It is easy to tell when a man looks at a woman, whether it is pure friendship or he has something else in mind.

What's more, Huo Jingze is also a man.

He was unhappy.

The man with the surname Fu is a scheming man.

Perhaps only Fu Huaijin knows the purpose of raising this cat.

Huo Jingze sneered in his heart, stood up from the sofa, and said in a voice without any emotion, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go home and sleep."

Lin Yin put the kitten down reluctantly.

"Xiaoyin, come to my house for hotpot tomorrow to thank you... help me find the glutinous rice balls." Fu Huaijin looked at Huo Jingze, "Is Lawyer Huo coming?"

Huo Jingze smiled faintly, "It's hard to refuse such kindness."

…

The next day at noon, Fu Huaijin really prepared the ingredients for hot pot, knocked on Lin Yin's door, and invited her to eat hot pot.

Huo Jingze's ears seemed to have radar. Before Fu Huaijin could knock on his door, he came out and his eyes fell on Lin Yin.

The three of them entered 701 and sat down around the hot pot.

Fu Huaijin sat in the main seat, while Lin Yin and Huo Jingze sat facing each other on both sides.

Tangyuan liked Lin Yin. He ran to her feet, rubbed against her, and then jumped into her arms.

Fu Huaijin started the conversation around Tangyuan, mostly talking about raising pets. Lin Yin had thought about raising a pet when she had the financial means, so she asked a few more questions.

The two people asked and answered each other in a pleasant atmosphere.

Until a foot stretched out from under the table and kicked Lin Yin's calf.

Lin Yin's smile froze slightly, and she subconsciously looked at the man opposite her.

Huo Jingze picked up the juice and took a sip. His movements were elegant and pleasing to the eye, and his handsome face was expressionless.

Lin Yin thought he was careless, so she ignored it and continued talking to Fu Huaijin.

Then, he was kicked again.

This time, the foot underneath went even further, moving up along her calf and reaching deeper.

Lin Yin was panicked and subconsciously closed her legs, looking up and glaring at the man who was doing the wrong thing.

Huo Jingze had an indifferent expression and ate his food quietly, as if he was not the one flirting with someone under the table.

Fu Huaijin didn't notice anything unusual, and considerately peeled a shrimp and put it into Lin Yin's bowl, "Xiaoyin, try it, this shrimp tastes good."

"Okay, I..."

Before she could even finish the word "taste", Lin Yin suddenly stopped talking and her face turned red.

Huo Jingze pressed against her sensitive spot!

She raised her eyes and met the man's casual gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, seemingly smiling, but in fact her eyes were full of warnings.

If you dare to eat the shrimps in the bowl, she will be in trouble.

Fu Huaijin saw that she looked a little strange and her face turned red, so he asked with concern: "Is it spicy? Drink some milk to relieve the spiciness."

Just as he was about to push the drink he hadn't drunk over, a glass of milk was already placed in front of Lin Yin.

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Yin took a symbolic sip.

Then, she saw a beef ball, which was picked by Huo Jingze.

"Eating too many shrimps is bad for your health. Try eating beef balls." Huo Jingze had a gentle smile and looked exceptionally handsome.

Fu Huaijin smiled calmly: "This amount won't have any effect. Xiaoyin can eat more if she likes. We are all doctors and can control it."

“…”

What is going on?

Shrimp and beef balls were placed in front of Lin Yin at the same time.

It's like a choice.

The two men looked at each other, both with smiles on their faces and coldness in their eyes.

There was a weird atmosphere in the air.

In addition to the smell of hot pot, there seems to be a smell of gunpowder.

Of course, Lin Yin could not sense any secret rivalry between the two men. She just felt that Huo Jingze's possessiveness had exploded again and he would not allow her to eat the food picked by the opposite sex.

To be honest, she really loves eating shrimps, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the tender shrimp meat.

Suddenly, there was a strong rub somewhere.

That indescribable feeling rushed to the nerve endings like an electric current. Lin Yin almost couldn't help but scream out, but fortunately she swallowed it back in time and curled her toes tightly.

His face got even redder, and his ears also turned red.

The eyes changed slightly, as if there was spring water.

This is Huo Jingze's warning. If you dare to make a random choice, he can't guarantee that he won't make any mistakes.

Lin Yin wanted to cry but had no tears. She bit her lips with her teeth, held the chopsticks with slightly trembling hands, and took a bite of the beef ball.

Try to speak in a normal tone, "Actually, I prefer beef meatballs."

The corners of Huo Jingze's mouth rose, and the curve became deeper.

Fu Huaijin's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he smiled, "Really? Then eat more, there's still a lot."

After a hotpot meal, Lin Yin was sweating all over.

Half an hour later, it was finally over.

Fu Huaijin took the cat from Lin Yin's arms and said gently, "Xiaoyin, you can come over and pet the cat when you have time. Tangyuan can't wait to see you every day."

Lin Yin nodded, "Okay."

Fu Huaijin saw them out and closed the door.

There were two figures left in the corridor, one tall and one short.

"Lawyer Huo, I'll go in first."

Lin Yin stepped into the house and was about to close the door when a strong arm blocked it.

Huo Jingze stared at her with his dark and deep eyes. "Why pet a cat? Why not pet me?"
