After a while, she shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, since it's for Kassa... I'll let you go."
Before Li Lin could breathe a sigh of relief, Caitlin seemed to remember something again. She leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice, as if she was talking about something shameful.
"Also, that... uh, thing about the Twilight Star Spirit you mentioned..."
"Zuo Yin? What happened to her?"
"Don't speak so loudly, she might hear you..."
"Don't worry. I specifically told her not to eavesdrop on anyone in their room, especially us. She won't do that...right?"
However, Li Lin suddenly remembered Zuo Yin's mischievous nature and his dislike of following rules, and he became hesitant again. "Intelligent Brain, is Zuo Yin home now?"
He had previously installed an intelligent system of intelligent brain in every room of the Jiraman family.
No matter where they are or who they are, they can communicate with the intelligent computer anytime and anywhere, which brings great convenience to the Jiraman family.
Less than two seconds after Li Lin finished speaking, a miniature mechanical device in the corner of the room, resembling a small loudspeaker, flashed a blue light, and a neutral electronic mechanical sound echoed from it:
[Last night, Miss Zuo Yin inquired about your situation and then disappeared through the portal.]
"Look, she's not home right now. She won't know about our conversation, so don't worry." Li Lin gently stroked the back of Caitlin's hand. "What's going on? Is she targeting you in some way?"
"That's... not really." Caitlin hesitated for a moment. "Well, how should I put it? Haven't you been busy these days? Zuo Yin didn't bother you and simply stayed by my side most of the time."
Li Lin's expression showed a hint of surprise, "...Ah?"
Because he was chosen by the Twilight Spirits when he was still young and began to roam the starry sky and parallel universes, Zuo Yin actually did not have much exposure to the ways of the world, nor did he receive any guidance from his elders.
In essence, she is still a playful and naughty child who is ignorant of the world.
And it seemed that because of his compatibility with the Twilight Star Spirit, under her influence, the child's mischief was further magnified.
The jealousy that arises from this, especially the feelings towards Li Lin that Caitlin has, is very obvious.
When she first entered the Jiraman family, Zuo Yin verbally targeted Caitlin in life, but after being scolded by Li Lin, she restrained herself a lot and basically never had any quarrels with Caitlin again.
But now Caitlin said that Zuo Yin has been with her for the past week?
"She didn't do anything excessive, did she?"
Li Lin quickly felt around Caitlin's body to check if she was "injured" anywhere.
"—Ah! What are you doing?"
Caitlin quickly protected herself like a frightened little rabbit, staring at Li Lin with a vigilant look, "I'm warning you, it's daytime now, don't touch me."
Li Lin withdrew his hand awkwardly and said defensively, "I just wanted to see if Zuo Yin had played a prank on you."
"That's not the case, but Zuo Yin's behavior is very strange." Caitlin recalled Zuo Yin's behavior in recent days, a hint of confusion on her face, "She seems... deliberately trying to please me?"
Hearing her say this, Li Lin was stunned for a long time, and then he snorted in confusion: "...Huh? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Of course, that's why I'm so curious." Caitlin and Li Lin looked at each other with complicated expressions and a strange meaning in their eyes. "I know she likes you, and she shows it all on her face...but this is illegal."
Li Lin scratched his head, not quite understanding what she meant. "But, she's at least a thousand years old, right? The reason she still looks like this is because she's restricted herself with magic and doesn't want to grow up."
Caitlin: “…”
There is actually such an operation?!
Can I stay young forever?
Being able to stay young forever is almost every girl's dream, and Caitlin is no exception.
However, when she realized that she had deviated from the topic, she immediately met Li Lin's strange gaze, shook her face and cleared the distracting thoughts from her mind.
"Then tell me, what's the reason for her doing this? Why does she suddenly want to please me?"
Maybe she wants to start with you so that I can accept her?
Li Lin hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say this: "Maybe he wants to get your approval."
"My approval..."
But he is a detective after all, and his logical reasoning ability is extremely strong.
Just by hearing Li Lin's words, Caitlin seemed to have thought of something and fell into silence, with an even more complicated expression.
The air suddenly fell into silence, and even the atmosphere became a little subtle.
After a while, Li Lin didn't want this issue to become a barrier between him and Caitlin, so he broke the silence and changed the subject: "Hey, let's not talk about this."
Under Caitlin's puzzled eyes, Li Lin leaned forward and hugged her.
She seemed to realize something, her cheeks flushed instantly, her heart began to pound, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
"Don't, don't do this...it's still daytime..."
"What's wrong during the day? Today is the weekend, you don't have to go out to work, and our parents should not be at home, right? No one will disturb us."
Li Lin chuckled and blew a breath on Caitlin's earlobe, which was already completely "ripe". "Besides, how many days have passed? Don't you miss me?"
"You, you're so annoying!"
Caitlin didn't give Li Lin any further chance. She used her strength to get out of his arms and put her little feet against his chest to stop him from acting like a hungry wolf.
However, Li Lin's disappointed look made her heart tremble, and her whole body softened.
"Well... at least go take a shower first!"
