Fish bait?

This drawing clearly depicts an old man wearing an apron in the kitchen, and it's even a sketch...

But before she could finish thinking, Xiao Yao suddenly realized that her surroundings had changed.

Raise your furry paws and rub your eyes, rub your eyes, and rub your eyes again.

The surrounding area was still filled with 360-degree surveillance screens with no blind spots, and the beeping of system reports rose and fell incessantly. A black cat quietly raised its paw and put it on its shoulder.

I heard you envy older men?

The cat's voice was slightly threatening, and a moment later, the sound of several chains clanging could be heard.

Xiao Yao immediately bristled: 【What...what are you going to do?】

【Nothing much.】 Rakshasa, who has followed Yu Yan for many years and is devoted to her master, is a yandere: 【My master gave me a chain a few days ago, and I want to try it on with you.】

【No, no, no!】Little Yao hurriedly waved her hands in refusal: 【I'm not human, I don't have wrists, a neck, or a waist, I'm a fat tiger, I don't need chains...】

As they were talking, Rakshasa suddenly pressed a switch, and a flash of silver light appeared.

The next moment, a black-haired cat-eared boy pinned a blond tiger-eared boy against the wall.

With his hands hanging down, he used the chain to lift Xiao Yao's chin: "I recently developed a new anthropomorphic system, and it seems to be quite successful."

Xiaoyao: d(д)

Someone please save Tiger! (╥ω╥`)

… …

Ignoring the vanished system, Si Jin continued to draw Yu Linyuan's outline on the sketch paper after the surroundings quieted down.

He drew very slowly, and only after Yu Linyuan turned and walked into the room did he "hurry up" cover the sketch with a piece of paper. Just as he was about to turn around, the old man pressed down on his shoulder.

"What are you covering up?"

"Not covered..."

"Let me see." Yu Linyuan pressed down on Si Jin with one hand and lifted the white paper with the other.

The image above shows my back in the kitchen, seen through a door. It's drawn very realistically, yet it also seems very far away from the person who created it.

It was supposed to be a heartwarming scene, but it inexplicably carried a sense of loneliness, making the viewer feel uneasy.

A moment later, Si Jin pulled her hand away from Yu Linyuan's and covered the paper with it: "After Aunt Yu Jing's seventh day memorial, you will be leaving. Once you leave, there will be no one to cook for me or buy me candy."

"I have to leave myself some memories, right? Otherwise, the rest of my life will be too miserable."

As they were talking, they saw Yu Linyuan suddenly approaching.

The man's aura was somewhat heavy, and the possessiveness in his eyes was obvious, like a ferocious beast lurking in its prey.

That's terrifying!

"That's terrifying, Uncle Yu~"

Si Jin raised her hand and gently stroked Yu Linyuan's earlobe, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible, even the curve of her peach blossom eyes hinted at a deliberate, unintentional teasing: "Looking at me like that, do you want to... kiss me?"

"You still want to pour red wine on me, and then... um..."

With his thoughts exposed, Yu Linyuan's heart raced, and his usually clear mind lost its rationality in that instant.

He grabbed the back of the person's head and kissed them.

The kiss left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, with a hint of lollipop sweetness. One kiss was enough to tell that the boy in front of him was not as well-behaved as he appeared on the surface.

However, considering the person's health, Yu Linyuan released the person not long after.

His breath lingered, and his gaze towards Si Jin deepened considerably: "Are you setting me up?"

"No." Si Jin looked at him innocently, her upturned eyes still showing a hint of red from being forced out, coupled with her slightly hoarse voice, making her look as pitiful as could be.

"I didn't do anything. You saved me, you came to my house, you bought me candy, you kissed me, didn't you?"

"If Mr. Yu doesn't want to take responsibility for that kiss, I... I can forget about it. I will never make things difficult for Mr. Yu because of myself."
