Yu Ci walked in accompanied by the coquettish meow of a kitten.

Seeing the two people standing opposite each other in the room, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a teasing tone: "Did I disturb you?"

Wei Chan: “…”

Shi Jin: “…”

After a strange silence, Wei Chan looked at Shi Jin and said, "I'll be leaving first. Remember to give me your outline before Sunday."

Shi Jin nodded: "Okay."

Wei Chan then walked towards the gate.

As he passed the door, he tilted his head to glance at Yu Ci.

Yu Ci curled the corners of his lips at him, and said in a lazy tone, as if smiling: "Wait."

Wei Chan pushed his glasses and passed him by.

"bump--"

The door was closed.

Yu Ci changed his shoes at the door, but did not go upstairs as usual. Instead, he walked to the sofa: "Was that your friend just now?"

Shi Jin picked up the little black cat that had rubbed against his feet again. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No, it's the editor-in-chief who is in charge of me."

After a pause, he added: "It's the first time we met today."

"You brought someone home the first time I saw you?" Yu Ci's eyebrows raised even higher, and he said with a click of the tongue: "You are almost defenseless."

Shi Jin lowered his eyelids, his thick black eyelashes spread under his eyes: "I wanted to tell you, but..."

He doesn't have his contact information, neither cell phone number nor WeChat.

It is indeed inappropriate to bring people back rashly.

Therefore, when Shi Jin couldn't refuse Wei Chan at that time, he thought about telling his roommate first, but when he took out his mobile phone, he found that he had never exchanged contact information with him.

so......

Shi Jin raised his eyes to look at him.

Yu Ci was silent for a moment, somewhat helpless: "Do you think this is what I'm talking about?"

Shi Jin paused while stroking the cat's hand: "Isn't it?"

"Forget it." Yu Ci sighed.

He finally realized that his roommate had no sense of security at all.

He put the pumpkin porridge in his hand on the table: "Have you had breakfast?"

Shi Jin shook his head: "No."

"Then come and eat." Yu Ci opened the lid of the pumpkin porridge, revealing the golden and soft pumpkin porridge inside: "I just passed by the breakfast stand downstairs and bought it by the way."

Shi Jin subconsciously glanced out the window.

Unfortunately, the curtains in the living room were drawn tightly, and I couldn't see the sky outside the window at all.

"What are you standing there for? Come and sit down." Yu Ci patted the sofa beside him and raised his eyebrows at him: "Or should I drive a sports car to pick you up?"

His tone was smiling, and the teasing was clear.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Jin knew that he had just seen the scene of Wei Chan sending him back.

He stroked the little black cat's furry head and sat on the sofa.

The perfectly cooked pumpkin porridge is sweet and soft, at just the right temperature, and tastes refreshing.

Yu Ci held his chin and looked at him: "Brother Shi, do you have time later?"

Shi Jin paused holding the spoon.

Why did he start calling me by such nonsense names again?

He took out a tissue and covered the corner of his mouth, his eyes swept towards Yu Ci,

Yu Ci understood the inquiry in his eyes. He chuckled and looked at the little black cat on Shi Jin's lap: "We have to buy something for this little ancestor."

The little black cat seemed to understand what he said and called out in a coquettish manner.

"Okay." Shi Jin nodded.

Even if Yu Ci didn't mention it, he was planning to go out again in the afternoon to buy some things for the kitten.

but......

Thinking of what Wei Chan had just asked him, Shi Jin pursed his lips.

He raised his eyelids, and said hesitantly: "Do you think... this kitten should have a name?"

The kitten was originally climbing up to Yu Ci's legs with a grunt, but when it heard this, its little head tilted, and its balance was unstable, so it fell on its belly on the sofa.

He struggled and tried to turn over several times, but the soft sofa always restricted his movements.

The little black cat got so angry that it just lay on the sofa with its belly exposed.

Shi Jin stretched out a finger and gently rubbed the kitten's soft belly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"It really should have a name." Yu Ci held his chin and looked at the big and small one, his beautiful peach blossom eyes curved and smiled: "What do you think the name should be?"

Shi Jin paused in stroking the kitten.

He lowered his eyelids, and his long, thick black eyelashes rested quietly under his eyes, revealing an unexpectedly obedient look.

Yu Ci saw that he was thinking, so he didn't disturb him. He just hooked his lips and teased the kitten who was trying to turn over on the sofa.

After a while, Shi Jin raised his head.

"Thinking of it?" Yu Ci leaned back lazily, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell me about it?"

"Little Black."

"Cough cough——" Yu Ci couldn't help it and was choked by his own saliva.

When the itch in his throat subsided, Yu Ci sat up straight and looked at Shi Jin in disbelief, even doubting his own ears: "What did you just say your name was?"

Shi Jin didn't understand why he reacted so strongly.

"Call me Xiao Hei." He repeated quietly, his facial expression and look equally serious.

Shi Jin tilted his head, the small red mole reflected on the cold white skin, with a halo of light flowing, there is a kind of fascinating charm, but his expression is calm, even with a little innocence: "Is this name... not good?"

Yu Ci was a little dazed.

The kitten with its belly exposed finally gathered enough strength and turned over in one go.

It proudly lifted its tail, and its soft voice also carried a sense of arrogance: "Meow!"

Yu Ci was awakened by the noise of the kitten.

He reached out and touched the kitten's soft fur, then lowered his head, a smile filling his peach blossom eyes hidden by his long eyelashes: "Okay, let's call him Xiao Hei."

Xiao Hei had no idea that his name had been hastily decided during this back-and-forth conversation, and he was still holding Shi Jin's arm and having fun.

This sticky feeling doesn't look like a cat, but more like a dog.

Shi Jin watched and played with Xiao Hei quietly for a while, and only remembered the important business when he touched Xiao Hei's flat belly.

He raised his eyes and met Yu Ci's gaze: "Go out now?"

Yu Ci put his hands on the back of the sofa, and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Okay, let's go."

There are no pet shops on Bar Street.

To buy pet supplies, you have to go to the large shopping mall in the center of Spring City.

This back and forth really takes some time.

Yu Ci stood up and stretched, saying lazily, "I'll go drive and wait for you downstairs."

"good."

——

"Welcome."

The sales lady's sweet voice rang out the moment you stepped into the pet shop.

A wide variety of pet supplies are displayed on the shelves, and the colorful packaging is dazzling.

Shi Jin stopped.

The sales lady who had just greeted me at the door came up with a small basket in her hand. She said in a sweet voice, "What do you need, sir? Perhaps I can introduce it to you."

Shi Jin looked at her and nodded politely: "I want cat food and cat supplies, please."

"You're welcome, sir. Please follow me this way." The sales lady smiled and led the way: "How old is your baby?"

Shi Jin was slightly stunned, then realized that she was asking about Xiao Hei's age.

He pursed his lips: "...I'm not sure, but he should be less than one year old."

"It's okay, it should be weaned." The sales lady took Shi Jin to the front of the shelf and said, "If it's weaned, it can eat cat food. These are the most recommended ones, and they are also the best-selling ones in the store."

"The ingredients in this product are very good. The first few ingredients in the list are all meat, and there are no grain ingredients. Cats will not have loose stools after eating it, and the nutrition is also comprehensive."

"This one is more cost-effective. Although the formula is not as good as the previous one, the overall cost-effectiveness is very suitable. It is also the best-selling one in the store."

The sales lady pointed at the cat food on the shelf and patiently introduced it: "Sir, you can take a look at which one you want."

Shi Jin's eyes swept across the two cat foods and settled on the first one: "Then this one will do. Please help me get two bags."

"Okay, no problem." The sales lady took the cat food with a smile: "Sir, do you need some other cat supplies, such as cat litter, cat toilets and cat toys?"

Shi Jin paused and frowned slightly.

The sales lady noticed his unfamiliarity and offered, "Sir, how about this? I'll help you pick out a set of essential items. What do you think?"

"Okay, thank you for your help."

While the sales lady went to prepare things, Shi Jin stood in front of the shelf waiting for her.

There are all kinds of snacks and toys on the shelves, with a wide variety of styles.

Shi Jin lowered his eyes, his gaze wandering over the snacks.

The image of Xiao Hei meowing coquettishly around his legs appeared in his mind. A smile flashed across Shi Jin's lowered eyes. He curled his lips and leaned over to take it.

"Brother Shi."

Shi Jin paused as he stretched out his hand.

After a while, he stood up and looked calmly towards the place where the sound came from.

A young man in a white T-shirt was standing in front of a nearby shelf with a dog in his arms. When he saw him coming, he smiled broadly at him without hesitation: "Brother Shi, why did you move?"

Shi Jin frowned slightly and looked around but did not see Bai Mei.

Cheng Ke walked forward holding the dog in his arms: "Brother Shi, what are you looking for?"

His eyes scanned the shelf in front of Shi Jin curiously: "Look at these snacks, do you have pets too?"

"We really have a tacit understanding." The young man suddenly smiled. He held the puppy in his arms in front of Shi Jin, revealing a small dimple on his fair face: "Look, I also have a pet, it's a white puppy, isn't it cute?"

Shi Jin's gaze fell on the little white dog in the boy's arms.

The little white dog is obviously well taken care of by its owner. Its fur is snow-white, and the hair on the top of its head is tied into a small braid with a pink bow.

The coldness in Shi Jin's eyes melted slightly.

He hummed as a reply.

Cheng Ke's eyes lit up, and he moved closer to Shi Jin even more happily, chattering to him about the name and preferences of his little pet.

He looks like a child simply sharing happiness with his friends.

So Shi Jin rarely listened to him patiently.

This was the scene Yu Ci saw when he came back.
