"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us again." The waiter accepted the money from Ruan Wushuang with a smile.

"Let's go." Ruan Wushuang stood up and looked at Huo Minxue.

"What should we do with these untouched dishes?" Huo Minxue looked at the table.

Ruan Wushuang glanced over, then, as if struck by a thought, turned her gaze back to the waiter.

"Could you help me pack up these leftover dishes?"

"sure."

"..."

The dishes at Ruan Wushuang's table were not cheap, and the waiters were very nice. They took three bags, packed the three dishes one by one, and then handed them to Ruan Wushuang.

"Thank you." Ruan Wushuang smiled and accepted it.

"You're welcome." The waiter was somewhat flustered by Ruan Wushuang's smile.

Unbeknownst to Ruan Wushuang, she took the bag and left without hesitation.

Huo Minxue sighed inwardly and got up to catch up.

After leaving the state-run restaurant, Ruan Wushuang walked ahead, and Huo Minxue, not knowing where she was going, could only follow closely behind her.

It wasn't until Ruan Wushuang stopped that Huo Minxue realized how familiar the road was.

It was the alley where he and Ruan Wushuang met for the second time.

Ruan Wushuang carried the kitten into the alley and placed the packed dishes she had prepared in a corner of the alley.

After that, he didn't pay any more attention and got up to return to Huo Minxue's side.

"Why did you put the vegetables there?" Huo Minxue asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon enough," Ruan Wushuang said with a smile, stroking the kitten in her arms.

Huo Minxue frowned slightly, but a moment later, he saw a nimble figure leap out from the top of the wall.

It was a black adult cat that immediately went closer after smelling the aroma of food.

It smelled the dishes, tasted a few bites, and then raised its head and barked a few times.

Immediately afterwards, several cats jumped out from next door.

Huo Minxue counted them and found there were seven.

"Let's go." Seeing this, Ruan Wushuang didn't linger and turned to leave.

Once Huo Minxue came to her senses, she quickly caught up with him.

"Did you order so much food just to feed these animals?"

"No, that's not it. I just wanted to thank you properly. I didn't expect you to have such a small appetite, so these cats are the only ones who get to eat," Ruan Wushuang said quietly.

Ruan Wushuang spoke casually, but for some reason Huo Minxue felt that her words were not sincere.

When she glanced at the cats, the tenderness in her eyes was undeniable.

She clearly brought food for these cats on purpose.

She had this idea when she was ordering the food, but she pretended not to, and even when it came to packing up the leftovers, he had to be the one to ask first.

This personality is just incredibly awkward.

After realizing what had happened, Huo Minxue lowered her eyes and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" His soft laughter did not miss Ruan Wushuang's ears.

"It's nothing. I didn't know there were so many stray cats here. If there are any leftovers from the cafeteria, I'll bring some over to feed them." Huo Minxue looked up.

Looking at the smile on his lips, Ruan Wushuang felt inexplicably as if she had been seen through, and she awkwardly looked away.

"It's getting late, aren't you going home?"

Huo Minxue then noticed that it was completely dark.

"And what about you?" Huo Minxue looked at Ruan Wushuang.
