[CEO Chapter 5] Big Dinner

Just like that, Chu Jiao became He Sinian's companion, accompanying the little boy, wandering around the busy streets every day, begging for a living.

With Chu Jiao's company, He Sinian's mood gradually improved, and he became much more sunny and cheerful. At the same time, because Chu Jiao's cleverness and intelligence were very popular, his daily income also increased day by day.

"Cat, let's go for a big dinner tonight!"

Another night fell, He Sinian counted the income, smiled and hugged Chu Jiao and kissed her.

Cats grow much faster than humans, but in just three months, Chu Jiao's body has more than doubled since the beginning. He Sinian has changed from being able to hold her with both hands to supporting her with his arms bent.

Chu Jiao was too lazy to respond, and had no hope for the feast that He Sinian mentioned.

What He Sinian meant by a feast was going to an affordable fast food restaurant and ordering a bowl of tomato beef brisket rice.

In the past few months, he was alone and couldn't even get the money set by Brother Long every day, so he had to eat leftovers every day. Even if he collected enough money for the day, it was just a bowl of vegetables and a steamed bun, so in He Sinian's eyes, rice with meat was already an unparalleled feast.

Chu Jiao squatted on the stool beside him, waiting for her "big meal" - a plate of dried fish.

The proprietress of this fast food restaurant is kind-hearted and likes cats. Although He Sinian has only been here a few times, she never minds the cat and child being dirty and is very enthusiastic every time. Not only was the rice served full, but from the second time on, she prepared dried fish specially for Chu Jiao, made from the remaining fish in the store.

This time, the proprietress saw that the two had come again, and as usual, she served two bowls of seaweed egg drop soup. The golden chicken egg drop floated in the bowl, so big that Chu Jiao and He Sinian swallowed their saliva at the same time.

"Thank you, auntie." He Sinian thanked politely, and Chu Jiao also followed with a "meow".

The meal was served. He Sinian grabbed the chopsticks and, along with the sauce, devoured a large bowl of rice like a gust of wind. He reluctantly kept the five pieces of beef in the bowl until the end, chewing them slowly and leisurely, bite by bite, until there was nothing left.

Chu Jiao lowered her head like a lady, the tip of her nose was filled with the tempting aroma of fish.

After becoming a cat, she found that her taste had changed. She used to dislike fish at all, but now she eats it with relish.

She ate well and slept soundly, her appetite grew, and her body seemed to be inflated. She was only a few months old, but she was like a one or two year old cat.

Chu Jiao didn't care too much, and was only thinking about how to rescue He Sinian from the fire pit.

Brother Long should be the leader of this gang. His daily job is to train new members, collect money, and distribute meals. Many newly kidnapped children are disobedient, but they gradually become "sensible" after his training.

Brother Long is very good at controlling people. For children who don't have a sense of right and wrong, he will slowly distort their worldview and make them obedient "machines". For older children who already have memories and basic moral values, such as He Sinian, he will draw a big cake and tell them that as long as they are obedient, work hard, and save enough money, they can redeem themselves.

Chu Jiao knew that this "big cake" was completely drawn to deceive these children, but she couldn't expose it with her current identity and body. She could only watch He Sinian holding such expectations and working hard to make money every day.

In fact, sometimes.

It is always good for people to have expectations.

After dinner, He Sinian held Chu Jiao and walked towards the overpass. There were many rare words on the way.

"Cat, when I save enough money, we will go home," he recalled his already vague home in his mind, and outlined the familiar appearance of his room while speaking, "Let me tell you, my house is very big. Two floors, and a big garden."

"Then you can sleep with me, okay? The bed in my room is very soft, and the pillow is made by my mother. What kind of pillow is it? I can fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow, haha."

Chu Jiao tilted her head in his arms and listened quietly to He Sinian's dream.

She saw her little boy smiling happily, his eyes sparkling with sparkling stars.

"Meow~"

Chu Jiao's heart softened, and she answered secretly. Okay.

However, at this time, she didn't know that this promise would never be fulfilled.
