Chapter 167: Send Away

Gu Hanyan spoke in a low voice, his voice ringing close to Yaoyao's ear. He was obviously just speaking in a low voice to avoid being discovered, but it unexpectedly sounded like he was enduring something.

Yaoyao couldn't exert much force while squatting, so she had to put her hands on the man's neck and use the force to lift her buttocks.

"jingle--!"

The phone vibrated, and just as I thought about it, it was hung up.

Even so, Old Chen at the entrance of the alley still heard the noise.

The man took a few steps inside, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Gu Hanyan clearly saw that the gap in the wooden board was now blocked by Lao Chen's figure, blocking all light.

The board moved!

Boom, boom, boom!

Yaoyao bit her lower lip tightly, fearing that she would be discovered. Her heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her throat.

The little girl closed her eyes in despair and kept crawling behind Gu Hanyan, thinking that she would be safe as long as she covered her head.

Gu Hanyan wasn't feeling well either.

You have to know that the little girl is not wearing any clothes now...her whole soft body is just defenselessly snuggling into his arms.

He felt worse than being roasted by fire!

"Who are you? What are you going to do to my jar of soy sauce?"

A stern question suddenly rang out.

"Ah... I'm sorry! I just seemed to hear a cell phone ringing in this tank, so..." Old Chen explained hurriedly.

"If you're going to make up a lie, come up with something better! Who would throw their phone into a jar of soy sauce? Go away! If you don't leave, I'll call the police on you!"

"No, no, no..." Old Chen looked at the big vat behind him reluctantly. He really heard the ringing of his cell phone just now.

However, the boss stared at Lao Chen with sharp eyes, as if he would be finished if he dared to open the wooden board.

After some mental calculation, the man removed his hand from the wooden board.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Old Chen frowned and asked as he approached the boss, "Did you just see a man carrying a large black bag with a cat in it?"

"I'm so busy! How could I notice?"

The young boss crossed his arms and waved his hands impatiently.

He added, "There's a pet shop at the east gate of the market. Why don't you go there and take a look?"

"Okay! Thank you, boss!"

Gu Hanyan parked his car at the west gate of the market, and the boss just led Lao Chen to the east gate.

The man listened to the noise outside the tank. After hearing the boss walk away, he paused for a moment, and finally gently patted the little girl's shoulder. His voice was soft and reassuringly calm as he leaned close to her ear:

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. Old Chen is gone."

Yaoyao finally let out a long breath, hung her head, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Ayan, I'm sorry..."

As he spoke, a teardrop as big as a bean fell on Gu Hanyan's palm.

It was hot and scorching, as if it had burned his heart.

"Why are you still crying, little crybaby? It's not a big deal, change your clothes first."

Yaoyao sobbed, wiping her face with her two little hands. She stopped in surprise when she heard Gu Hanyan's words.

She blinked her wet eyes, with water droplets hanging on her eyelashes, and looked at Gu Hanyan innocently.

"Clothes? Ah Yan brought clothes with him when he went out?"

Gu Hanyan used his thumb to gently wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes. The area under his fingertips was delicate and smooth, and the touch was incredibly good.

The man couldn't help but pinched Yaoyao's cheek subconsciously and chuckled:

"Isn't this just to prevent accidents? But... ahem, I didn't bring any underwear, only a long black dress."

Yaoyao can only... be in a vacuum.

Yaoyao, however, seemed not to care. She buried her head in searching for the dress, happily pulled it out, and handed it to Gu Hanyan with both hands, looking at him with bright eyes: "Ayan, help me put it on!"

There was no way. Human clothing was too complicated, with three layers inside and three layers outside. She had never learned how to do it before.

...Well, to be precise, His Majesty didn't let her learn it either.

"Hmm..." Gu Hanyan had very good eyesight, and he just looked away, unable to bear to look at the delicate thing in front of him.

But the space in the water tank was too small to move at all. In addition, Gu Hanyan was tall and had long legs, so Yaoyao almost sat astride his waist.

If the distance between two people is any closer, it will become a negative number.

"Raise your hands and get in...yes."

Gu Hanyan gently held Yaoyao's slender arms with his hands and helped Yaoyao put on her skirt like an old father.

The two thin white arms were surprisingly bright even in the dark.

After checking again and again to confirm that everything was correct, Gu Hanyan felt that hiding in this water tank for an hour was not a solution.

What's more, Yaoyao is now in human form, so there won't be any big problem even if she walks on the street with him.

After all, no normal person would think that this person was transformed from a cat.

The man pursed his lips and asked tentatively:

"Yaoyao, do you dare to go out with me?"

"Go out?" Yaoyao tilted her head and thought about it seriously.

The scene I just saw at the market entrance flashed through my mind. It was so lively and there were so many people.

Yaoyao loves lively places the most.

but……

"Can I?" Yaoyao looked at Gu Hanyan cautiously, her eyes mixed with longing and timidity, which made the man's heart tremble.

For the first time, Gu Hanyan felt Yaoyao's fear.

Although the little girl is delicate and weak and looks timid, she is actually very brave.

A cat survives alone in this strange environment.

I live in fear every day, and I might be dragged into doing research if I’m not careful.

Even walking in the sun requires careful consideration.

"Yes." Gu Hanyan held Yaoyao's hand with his backhand, each finger squeezed into the girl's fingers, and repeated affirmatively, "You can!"

"Yaoyao, I will protect you. Are you willing to trust me?"

"Um!"

Yaoyao nodded decisively without any hesitation.

"Of course I have to believe Ah Yan. Ah Yan said that Yaoyao is his sweetheart!"

Since it is your sweetheart, you must protect it!

Gu Hanyan's ears turned slightly red at the girl's straightforward words.

Gu Hanyan secretly opened a crack, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he quickly took out the water tank.

Turning his head, he saw Yaoyao sitting innocently in the vat.

"Yaoyao?"

"Woo... Ayan, my legs are numb..." Yaoyao hated her body for being so fragile. She didn't have the agility of a cat at all. She even had difficulty climbing onto a water tank!

Back then, she could climb walls and fight with fists and kicks without any problem!

Gu Hanyan's eyes were soft and he smiled dotingly. He bent down and picked up the little girl from the tank.

Even after turning into a human form, Yaoyao was still very small and felt weightless when held in my arms.

Gu Hanyan glanced at the muddy ground, then at the little girl's cramped white feet, her toes tinged with pink.

The man frowned:

"Yaoyao, I'll take you to buy a pair of shoes first."

"Okay~" Yaoyao nodded obediently. She didn't move when she was hugged. She nestled obediently in Gu Hanyan's arms, staring at the things around her curiously with her big eyes.

Wow~ This is different from the world she saw through cats’ eyes before!

So many colors!

"Hey! What are you two doing? Why are you standing in front of my water tank?"
