Chapter 24 is very fair.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Suddenly hearing a rhythmic tapping sound outside the car window, Zhong Wan put down her paintbrush and quickly turned to look.
Upon seeing that somewhat familiar handsome face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached out and unlocked the car window, rolled it down, and smiled at him with her eyes crinkling, saying, "What would you like to eat? It's on me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an's lips curled slightly, and he asked teasingly, "Anything is fine?"
"Forehead,"
Zhong Wan paused for a moment, then asked somewhat nervously, "Is it expensive?"
"hehe."
Just as Lin Yan'an was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the two blurry figures on the dashboard, as well as Hua Hua, who had suddenly appeared right under his nose.
A black and red light suddenly flashed under his eyes.
In this science-obsessed society, who wouldn't be stunned or startled upon seeing this?
Lin Yan'an was no exception. He quietly exhaled, and after realizing what was happening, he looked at the unfamiliar white cat and asked curiously, "What's this?"
"Oh, this."
Zhong Wan turned her head to look in the direction he was pointing, and calmly picked him up while saying, "My son, Zhong Suisui."
"Now, he's practically your son, want a hug?"
The moment he finished speaking, the cat was offered to him.
Lin Yan'an looked at the little white cat being handed to him, then at the smile in Zhong Wan's eyes.
[Awoo~ Daddy?]
The chubby little kitten tilted its head slightly, its round eyes filled with curiosity and... drooling?
Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Lin Yan'an's eyes widened slightly, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "This is... that system?"
Zhong Wan smiled but didn't say anything. She held the cat's hand and extended it closer to him, inviting him with a slightly amused tone, "Let me pet you?"
【I'm Zhong Suisui!】
Listening to its adorable, emphasizing voice, and looking at its serious cat face,
Lin Yan'an chuckled and tentatively raised his hand, gently touching its head with his index finger.
Watching those slender fingers gently tap Zhong Suisui's head with their fingertips,
And look at the undisguised bliss on its fluffy little face.
Especially when you see a person and a cat actually come together.
Zhong Wan opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at Zhong Suisui and then at Lin Yan'an, and asked in confusion, "Zhong Suisui, why did he run into you too?"
【┓(′`)┏,】
"Of course he'll run into him. How else am I supposed to absorb yin energy?"
"oh."
Zhong Wan understood.
Lin Yan'an looked at the person and cat in front of him with mixed feelings. So, they weren't really sincere to him?
Well, that's not entirely accurate either.
At the very least, his position seems quite clear to them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but click her tongue inwardly, lightly pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth, withdrew her hand, and lingered for a moment before saying indifferently, "Didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? Let's go."
"ah."
Zhong Wan was taken aback when she heard this, but quickly agreed after she realized what was going on, saying, "Okay, but let's make it clear first, the budget is limited."
"Oh."
Lin Yan'an looked at her speechlessly and asked, "What's the budget?"
"two hundred!"
"Two hundred per person?"
"How is that possible?! Two hundred for both of us! That's a lot!!!"
Seeing Lin Yan'an walk away with one hand in his pocket, Zhong Wan quickly closed the car door and jogged after him.
"That's a lot!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Lin Yan'an's arm, pointing to the roadside stalls on both sides of the road, and continued, "Look, two hundred yuan can buy us quite a lot of food!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan'an glanced in the direction she was pointing, then lowered his eyes to look at the small face in front of him.
Zhong Wan tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
As if sensing the doubt in her eyes, Lin Yan'an parted his thin lips and bluntly retorted, "Dirty!"
The young master's difficult nature was instantly exposed.
Zhong Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Then what do you want to eat?"
"Aren't there only roadside stalls around here? Eating here won't kill you."
Lin Yan'an was about to speak when he felt something strange on his arm.
The slightly cool and soft touch surprised him.
Lin Yan'an glanced at his arm that Zhong Wan was holding, and saw a small white cat tentatively crawling up his arm from Zhong Wan's hand.
Zhong Wan noticed this too, and with a smile, she let go of his arm and placed the cat on his shoulder: "Here, your son is looking for you."
"Oh."
Lin Yan'an chuckled, glanced at the little one on her shoulder out of the corner of her eye, and continued walking forward.
Zhong Wan, however, noticed his slightly stiff shoulders.
Especially when I saw those obviously uneven shoulders, one higher than the other, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, Lin Yan'an, be normal."
"SuiSui is no ordinary cat. Don't worry, it definitely won't fall."
【Yes, Sui Sui is very capable, Daddy, relax.】
Hearing the banter between the man and the cat, Lin Yan'an paused, only regaining his composure when he lifted his foot again.
He walked straight ahead without looking to the side: "Zhong Wan, hurry up and keep up."
Beneath her seemingly calm exterior lies a rich and complex inner world.
It could be due to his physical condition, or it could be because he is genuinely disliked by small animals.
In the past, whenever small animals saw him, they would run away from a great distance.
He wasn't given a chance to even make contact.
Like... she avoided him at all costs.
But it was clearly her...
Thinking of this, Lin Yan'an's expression darkened again.
Meow~
Zhong Suisui greedily absorbed the yin energy surrounding him, her eyes filled with longing, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable snoring sound.
The soft little head nuzzled Lin Yan'an's face affectionately, then plopped down on his shoulder.
Feeling the movement on his shoulder, Lin Yan'an paused, turned his head to look at its satisfied little face, and a smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at its slightly undulating, chubby little belly.
His presence seems to be welcomed by people.
Lin Yan'an carefully reached out and took it off her shoulder, feeling its softness in her palm, and her heart softened as well.
Seeing this, Zhong Wan curiously peeked over: "Lin..."
"Shh, it seems to be asleep."
Lin Yan'an's voice was soft, and her expression was gentler than before.
Zhong Wan looked at him curiously, then at the lively surroundings, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Lin Yan'an, do you want to take a look around?"
"With so many cars on this main road and all those people eating barbecue, what good would it do to tell me to keep my voice down?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Lin Yan'an's eyes. He pursed his thin lips and looked at the kitten in his hands without saying a word.
Zhong Wan shrugged and asked curiously, "You like small animals?"
"Um."
Have you ever kept any small animals?
"No."
"ah?"
"They don't like me."
Lin Yan'an answered calmly, but Zhong Wan was taken aback and then quickly said, "It's okay, you're not a hundred-yuan bill, how could every living being like you?"
"But now it's all good, as long as you have what we like, that's enough, don't you think?"
Zhong Wan followed his steps, talking as she walked.
Unfazed by the lack of response from those around him, he nonchalantly remarked, "I think Zhong Suisui really likes to stick close to you."
"How about this, I'll leave it to you to take care of from now on?"
"Hehe, I'll raise you, that's fair."
...
"Um."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Zhong Wan heard a soft sound carried by the wind. A smile immediately spread across her face.
