"Okay." Li Shu nodded slightly. Suddenly, she felt her earlobe was tickled by him. She immediately grabbed the man's big hand and playfully tickled his palm. Then she turned her head to look at him, "By the way, I just asked you to pick a name."
Shen Yu held her hand in his backhand, his eyes falling on the little guy lying obediently on her legs. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Since he's so dark, why not call him Little Coal Ball?"
"Little Coal Ball?" Li Shu raised her pretty eyebrows slightly. It was indeed much better than the name she had given herself, Xiao Hei.
She lifted the little coal ball up with both hands and met its eyes. Her eyes were a little bright and a little dark. Her voice was filled with laughter. "Okay, then let's call it Little Coal Ball."
Little Coal Ball seemed to understand what she said and meowed at her twice in a baby voice.
Li Shu paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. She put the little coal ball back on her lap and said, "But I'm usually at school. How about I keep it with you?"
Shen Yu nodded, "Okay."
Li Shu tilted her head, her eyes clear and beautiful, "But can you do it alone?"
Shen Yu tutted softly and flicked the little coal ball's butt with his finger, "You look down on me, I'm just a kitten."
Li Shu said: "Okay, I believe you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Seeing this, Li Shu slowly took out her cell phone, unlocked the screen, and opened WeChat.
Her eyes moved slightly, a little surprised. She didn't expect that the message was from Ji Si.
It’s almost ten o’clock…
Li Shu touched the small coal ball on her leg while typing a reply with one hand: [What happened at ten o'clock?]
After Ji Si came back from outside, he didn't go upstairs. He sat on the sofa in the living room, wanting to wait for Li Shu to come back before going back to his room.
He looked at the message Li Shu sent back, thought for a moment, and then said politely: [You can go home now... It's too late... It's not safe for a girl like you to be outside...]
Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly. "I'm right in front of the villa. It's just a few steps away. What's so unsafe about this?"
Ji Si scratched his hair, afraid of angering her, so he gave up trying to persuade her to go home and just said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you to come home."
Chen Yu glanced at their chat interface, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Your third brother is worried about you staying with me."
Li Shu turned her head and looked at him, "Why?"
Shen Yu's eyes fixed, and he said something ambiguous: "Maybe you're afraid that I'll eat you."
Li Shu finally reacted. She coughed lightly, looked away, and returned her gaze to her phone screen. She sent a message to Ji Si: [I'll be back soon.]
She put away her phone, sat up slightly, and said to Shen Yu beside her: "Well, it's really getting late. I'll go back first."
Shen Yu hummed, and naturally did not want to leave a bad impression on his future brother-in-law. He stood up and said, "I'll go get the cake. Wait."
Li Shu nodded, "Okay."
Soon, Shen Yu returned to the living room carrying the cake, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Li Shu stood up, walked around the sofa and came out, looking down at the little coal ball in her arms, "It's okay, I'll go back by myself. If we all go out, what will happen to the little coal ball?"
Chen Yu said, "Just take it with you. I'll bring it back later."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows, "That's fine, let's go."
Chen Yu hummed, then skillfully took Li Shu's fair and tender hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, and led her out the door.
Li Shu held the small coal ball in one hand, glanced at the two people's clasped hands, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. There was a sense of freedom in her black pupils, as if she felt that the current life was pretty good.
......
On this side, after Ji Si received the news that Li Shu would be back soon, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, left the living room, and walked out of the villa.
After a while, he saw two people walking towards him hand in hand not far away.
But when his eyes fell on the black thing in Li Shu's arms, he was stunned. What is this?
Ji Si walked down the stairs and went to meet him. When he got closer, he found that he was holding a little black cat.
Li Shu stopped and looked at Ji Si in front of her, asking curiously, "Why did you come out?"
Ji Si stared straight at the little black cat in her arms, "I'll pick you up."
Li Shu touched the little coal ball's head and asked, "Do you want to hold me?"
Ji Si's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Yes!"
Li Shu handed him the small coal ball in her arms, "Here."
Ji Si took it with his hands, holding it in his arms with a look of fondness, touching it lovingly, then raised his eyes to look at Li Shu and asked, "You picked this up, didn't you?"
Li Shu shook her head, "Of course not, Chen Yu gave it to me."
Ji Si: “…”
He then looked at Shen Yu, whom he had been deliberately ignoring, coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. Shen, thank you for bothering me and sending my sister back personally."
The corner of Chen Yu's lips curled up, "No, sending Xiaoshu back is what I should do. After all, she is my fiancée."
Ji Si had no way to refute. Their engagement had already been finalized, so he had no choice but to start chasing people away. "It's so late, Master Shen, you should go back too."
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, knowing that he was guarding against him like a wolf, but he didn't say anything. He turned his head to look at Li Shu beside him, loosened his grip on her hand, and handed her the cake in his hand, "Come in."
Li Shu took it with a soft hum, then looked up at Ji Si standing opposite her. She glanced at the little coal ball in his arms, raised her fair chin slightly, and said, "Give the cat back to me."
"Ah?" Ji Si was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then came to his senses, "Didn't I buy it for you?"
Li Shu said: "Yes, but I have to go to school and I'm not at home, so I asked Chen Yu to help me raise it."
Ji Si hugged the little coal ball in his arms tightly, not wanting to let go. After thinking for a while, he suggested: "Isn't there Steward Ji here? Let him help you take care of it on weekdays. Besides, Steward Ji will definitely take better care of it than Master Shen."
After hearing what he said, Li Shu felt that it was not impossible. If Butler Ji really wanted to raise a cat, he would definitely be much more careful than Shen Yu. After all, Butler Ji was responsible for all kinds of daily life matters, so taking care of a cat would definitely be easy for him. After thinking for a few seconds, she said to Shen Yu beside her, "Why don't you let me raise it?"
Shen Yu naturally had no objection. He listened to Li Shu and said, "Okay."
Li Shu hummed and said, "Then I'll go in first, you should go back soon."
Shen Yu nodded, "Okay."
After Li Shu greeted him, she followed Ji Si into her villa.
Only after seeing the girl walk into the villa did Shen Yu retract his gaze and turn away.
