On the day before his cat cafe opened, Shen Cheng found a cat-eared girl who had fainted from hunger at his shop's entrance. From then on, his world underwent earth-shattering changes.
A ...
Sakura City, Minase's house, living room.
Chen Cheng, Minase Haruka, Hoshizaki Hayabusa, and Minase Tingzhu sat around the kotatsu. Hoshizaki Hayabusa had a gloomy face, while Minase Tingzhu kept looking Chen Cheng up and down with a smile, making Chen Cheng somewhat uneasy.
Xingqi Hayabusa was also staring at Chen Cheng, his eyes somewhat scrutinizing, which made Chen Cheng even more uncomfortable.
Minase Haruka also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so she kept her head down and didn't say anything.
There was a chess endgame on the table, which must have been played by Minase Haruka and her mother.
After looking at her for a long while, Shui Lai Ting Zhu finally said with a smile: "My name is Shui Lai Ting Zhu, I am Xiao Yao's mother, you can just call me Auntie."
"Uh, Auntie, my name is Chen Cheng, you can call me Xiao Cheng." Chen Cheng nodded.
"Okay, Xiaocheng." The smile on Shuise Tingzhu's face became even wider.
He is Chinese, has no tattoos or dyed hair, has a gentle and kind personality, started his own business at a young age, and looks very handsome.
The more he read, the happier Shuise Tingzhu felt.
If Xiaoyao's surname is Chen, when she goes to China, her name will be Chen Yao, which sounds nice.
Hoshizaki Hayabusa could tell at a glance what Minase Tingzhu was thinking, and his heart was pounding.
This kid is not as honest as he looks!
How could someone who could fight him without losing be a good person?
But the only thing that can put Xingqi Hayabusa's mind at ease is that a Chinese with the strength of Chen Cheng will definitely not have anything to do with Yinglisha.
But Xingqi Hayabusa still felt that Shen Cheng's contact with Minase Haruka was most likely for ulterior motives.
As for what exactly Chen Cheng was thinking, Xingqi Hayabusa had to find a chance to test him more.
“Ha…hahaha…” Seeing the atmosphere solidified again, Shen Cheng laughed dryly a few times, stood up and said: “Well, I’ll go make lunch for you, it’s getting late.”
"Okay, okay." Shui Lai Tingzhu smiled and nodded, saying hello twice. He was not polite at all, but he looked at Chen Cheng more favorably.
So Shen Cheng went to the refrigerator to find some ingredients and walked into the kitchen as if escaping.
Seeing this, Hoshizaki Hayabusa stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen too."
"Grandpa Hayabusa!" At this time, Minase Haruka hurriedly raised her head and shouted, as if she was afraid that Hoshizaki Hayabusa would attack Chen Cheng.
The corner of Xingqi Hayabusa's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Don't worry, I just want to ask him something."
"Oh..." Minase Haruka noticed her own gaffe and lowered her head with a red face.
After a moment, Minase Haruka whispered again: "Well, I also..."
"It's okay, let your Grandpa Falcon and Xiao Cheng have a good talk, and then we can continue playing chess." Minase Tingzhu suddenly interrupted Minase Haruka with a smile.
"Oh... okay." After a moment of silence, Minase Haruka chose to listen to her mother.
Hoshizaki Hayabusa turned and walked into the kitchen.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw Shen Cheng chopping vegetables there. Xingqi Hayabusa said directly: "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Help me cook." Shen Cheng said without raising his head.
Hoshizaki Hayabusa nodded, rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen and started washing rice.
“…”
The atmosphere in the kitchen was still silent. Both of them were busy with the work at hand, and no one spoke.
"...Boy, what is your purpose in contacting Xiaoyao?" After a moment, Hoshizaki Hayabusa said suddenly.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Shen Cheng said, "Xiaoyao and I are friends, and Xiaoyao also promised me that I can find her when I go to Hong Country."
"Then what are you doing here in Rainbow Country?" Hoshizaki Hayabusa asked.
"Busy with work." Shen Cheng replied.
"Ha!" Hoshizaki Hayabusa sneered, "Don't you run a cat cafe? What? Has your business expanded to Rainbow Country?"
Shen Cheng’s heart tightened.
At this time, Xingqi Hayabusa had already washed the rice, refilled it with water and put it into the rice cooker. After the rice was cooked, Xingqi Hayabusa turned around, looked at Chen Cheng's back, and said, "You have killed someone."
Shen Cheng: “…”
Chen Cheng had already guessed that this would happen. Even a random security guard at the gate of Yinglisha Industry could see that he had killed someone, so there was no reason why an awakened person like Xingzaki Hayabusa could not see it.
"I can guess that you seem to have other intentions, but I can also see that Xiaoyao still likes you very much."
Hoshizaki Hayabusa said calmly, "So, I have no intention of attacking you, or exposing you, but the Minase family is my last home. I don't want someone with ulterior motives to sneak into the Minase family."
“…”
After another moment of silence, Shen Cheng put down the kitchen knife and turned to look at Xingqi Hayabusa.
Xingqi Hayabusa looked at Chen Cheng indifferently, waiting for Chen Cheng's next words.
"I came to Hongguo to take something from Yingli Society." Shen Cheng said with a sigh.
"Because our Minase family happens to be at odds with Sakurisa, so you plan to contact our Minase family?" Hoshizaki Hayabusa raised his eyebrows.
"I just wanted to get some information about Yingli Society. I didn't have any other thoughts." Shen Cheng said calmly.
"What is it that you want to take away from Sakurisa?" Hoshizaki Hayabusa suddenly said, "Perhaps I can help you."
Hearing this, Shen Cheng raised his head sharply, frowning: "Help me?"
It would be great to get help from an awakened person in Rainbow Country, but...
"What? You don't trust me?" Hoshizaki Hayabusa shrugged and said, "Don't worry, the Sakura Risha and I are almost at the point of a life-and-death struggle. If I were on Sakura Risha's side, the Minase family would have been swallowed up by Sakura Risha long ago."
"I know this, otherwise I wouldn't have told you what happened just now." Chen Cheng looked at Xingqi Hayabusa and said, "But I don't think you will believe me just because of the few words I said just now."
"Whether you believe me or not, I know what's going on in my heart. I've already said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you want me to help you or not."
"What if I say I want to destroy Yingli Society?" Suddenly, Shen Cheng said out of the blue.
"Ahem..." Xingqi Hayabusa's stern face almost didn't hold back. After choking, he looked at Chen Cheng in surprise: "Destroy Yingli Society? Just you?"
"Did you know that Yinglisha was conducting human experiments?" Shen Cheng said lightly.
“…”
Hoshizaki Hayabusa opened his mouth and finally nodded, "We are all aware of this matter. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect relevant evidence, so we cannot pose any threat to Sakura Risha."
After all, Yinglisha has always been in collusion with the top leaders of Hongguo. On the other hand, those who are at odds with Yinglisha are simply a group of scattered sand and cannot gather their strength together no matter what. The ability of a single family business alone will have no impact on the behemoth Yinglisha.
