Chapter 21

"No!" The kitten widened its eyes and pounced on him anxiously, reflexively wanting to stretch out its claws to scratch him, but suddenly remembered that it was not a cat now, but a human being.

Yan Xuanjin steadily caught the young man who threw himself into his arms, smiled softly, lowered his eyes, and stared at him with rare tenderness, saying word by word: "I understand that you want a name. But you have to understand what this name represents."

Being held by him, the boy felt strangely at ease and asked, "What does it mean?"

"It means..." Yan Xuanjin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to speak out the true consequences and the unexplained desire in his heart. "You've lost your freedom, the right to leave me, and the leisurely life you once had. You've become... mine."

He lowered his head, waiting for the boy's answer.

The boy in his eyes seemed to be really weighing the pros and cons, as if he was really considering what he said seriously.

I was the one who told him to give him a name, so why am I still hesitating to leave him?

It’s really bad…

Yan Xuanjin couldn't help but tighten his arms, as if he wanted to press the boy into his body.

"Then... will you still give me food?" The young man suddenly raised his head and stared at Yan Xuanjin with a pair of sapphire-like eyes without blinking, not feeling at all that what he said was a big deal.

Yan Xuanjin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Of course, what do you want to eat? I'll take you there."

"I want to eat the fried fish made in the cafeteria!" The boy smiled happily at him, "I want to eat it now!"

"No rush." ​​Yan Xuanjin coughed lightly, straightened his expression, and said seriously, "Have you thought about it? Will you choose a name?"

"Yes." The kitten stared at him with its sparkling eyes again, as if it was sure that its owner would not refuse its request, "But I really want to eat small yellow croaker..."

Yan Xuanjin remained silent, his yellow-green eyes staring helplessly at the young man who was throwing a tantrum in his arms.

These eyes in Dark Blade, which would scare anyone staring at them, always seemed to lose their power in front of this little kitten.

"I want to eat small yellow croaker, I want to eat small yellow croaker, I want to eat small yellow croaker..."

Yan Xuanjin felt the boy's fluffy white hair rub against his neck. He reached out and patted his head gently, chuckling and agreeing, "Alright, alright, let's go eat some small yellow croaker."

…

"Who is this?"

"I don't know."

"He's very good-looking, is he a guide?"

"I haven't heard that there's a new guy in our base, and he's so close to our boss..."

"Isn't this the person our boss is looking for?"

"That can't be possible. Our boss will probably be single for the rest of his life...ah!"

The man who was speaking covered his head, shrank his neck in fear, and looked cautiously towards the culprit. When he was glared at by those eyes, he shrank back obediently.

"It's so noisy." Yan Xuanjin sat opposite the boy, holding his chin with one hand, watching him show off frying fish, while thinking about what to name the cat.

Bai Ling? Sounds like a name for a ghost, not a nice one.

Aquamarine? That name sounds like a girl's.

Gray Blade? It feels like a duplicate of Dark Blade...

Tsk...it's really hard to get.

After thinking of countless names and rejecting many of them, Yan Xuanjin gave up and decided to concentrate on watching the kitten eat.

The cat was very focused on eating, and only when there were no more fish on the plate would it look towards him eagerly, trying to get more food.

"No more..." The young man looked over with grievance.

Yan Xuanjin shook his head: "You've eaten enough. If you eat more, you'll feel full."

"I won't feel full. I can still eat a lot." The kitten argued with him angrily, but did not dare to offend him - because the meal card was in his hands.

Yan Xuanjin stared at the young man's energetic appearance, and suddenly a name popped up in his mind - Ling Yun.

"The last one." Yan Xuanjin operated on the intelligent computer, and a robot delivered the meal to the table.

The boy's eyes lit up and he ate everything up quickly.

"Let's go and get you an ID card." Yan Xuanjin stood up and took the boy away.

Behind him, the originally quiet cafeteria suddenly became noisy.
