The corridor was long and empty. Not far from her, a fat cat stood there, staring at her.
Even though voices could be heard from the dormitories on both sides, Yu Manman still felt that the silence was terrifying. She could even hear her own heartbeat clearly.
At that moment, she clearly smelled the scent of a predator.
Even though she had been a spirit for a long time, and even though she had never encountered a hunting scene as an adult, she was still sensitive to that smell.
Before she could see the other person's face clearly, Yu Manman was so scared that her heart was about to burst. When she recognized that this was Lu Xu's eighth sister, Yu Manman patted her chest and felt that she was making a fuss.
"It's just my junior's little cat. There's nothing to be afraid of." Yu Manman tried to prepare herself mentally, but she was still nervous. It was not under her control.
"Meow..." Eighth Sister stared at Yu Manman with burning eyes, her dark green eyes wide open. Its tail swung and swung, its pink tongue licked its nose, and it made a "gurgling" sound in its throat. It looked a little excited.
Yu Manman didn't have any special feelings for other animals, so even if the whole network was saying that Eighth Sister was cute, she didn't deliberately get to know her. Although she had come to the program team twice, this was her first time to face Eighth Sister up close.
It was also at this moment that she felt that she had to run away.
It was just a cat that weighed less than 20 kilograms, but the threat it gave her was stronger than that of a man-eating monster.
"What did Lu Xu raise?"
Yu Manman was puzzled and couldn't help but think about this question.
Just when she was struggling whether to leave, the eighth sister who lowered her body had already rushed over.
"Ahhh..." Yu Manman stepped back subconsciously, and ended up bumping into someone's chest.
The collision came suddenly, and her heart was flustered, so Yu Manman's body fell in the opposite direction unconsciously. She was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately the man quickly pulled her up. Although he grabbed her waist, he quickly let go, which was very gentlemanly.
"Miss Yu, are you okay?"
Yu Manman looked at the man after hearing this, and found out that it was the new director.
"No, thank you Director Tang." She calmed down and then politely distanced herself from Tang Yanqing.
The person he liked was just by his side, and Tang Yanqing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when his hands were empty. But he quickly adjusted his mood, raised his head and smiled at Yu Manman: "I'm glad you're okay..."
Just as he was thinking about what to do to leave a good and deep impression on her, Yu Manman looked at her feet and her expression suddenly became terrified. She jumped on Tang Yanqing involuntarily.
"???"
"!!!"
The development of the matter was beyond Tang Yanqing's expectations. He had no time to react. He just subconsciously reached out to hold Yu Manman's waist to prevent her from falling.
"Cat..."
Listening to Yu Manman mumbling in her ear, Tang Yanqing looked down and saw Eighth Sister standing up, looking up and biting Yu Manman's trousers.
Its face is round, and from this angle, its cheeks look like freshly risen buns, and it looks fierce.
"Hey, Eighth Sister, why are you biting your sister's trousers?" Tang Yanqing first scolded Eighth Sister, but she didn't mean to be fierce to her. Then she coaxed Yu Manman gently, "Miss Yu, are you afraid of cats?"
"Yeah, take it away, quickly!" Yu Manman found it difficult to explain the current situation, so she simply accepted this impression.
Feeling that Eighth Sister was under her feet, Yu Manman felt unwell.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Eighth Sister is very obedient, I will let it go now." Seeing that Yu Manman was really afraid of Eighth Sister, Tang Yanqing wanted to take Eighth Sister away quickly, but Yu Manman was still hanging on him, and he couldn't get his hands free at all.
"Eighth Sister, be obedient, let go and play by yourself."
"Woo woo woo..." Eighth Sister's two little teeth were exposed, and she had no intention of letting go .
"Eighth Sister, let go of your sister's pants, and I will buy you a hundred cans of snacks."
This condition is really good. Eighth Sister's eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking about this proposal seriously.
But compared with the delicious food in front of her, the small cans in the promise seemed to be more attractive to eat immediately.
Eighth Sister obviously had no intention of letting go, and there was even liquid that looked like saliva at the corner of her mouth.
Feeling the cat tearing her pants, Yu Manman wanted to cry. Both of her legs were hung on Tang Yanqing's body, as if she wanted to hide herself inside his body.
Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian came out of the room and saw this scene from a distance.
"Is that... Yanqing and your senior sister?"
Lu Xu narrowed his eyes, as if to confirm, and then nodded: "Yes."
Lu Xu looked at the two people hugging each other and wondered in his heart when they became so familiar with each other.
Ji Xiunian was more shocked than Lu Xu, and he never thought that his brother could be so strong.
Yesterday, Tang Yanqing pulled him aside and said that he was jealous, saying that he hadn't even talked to the person he liked. It's been less than a day, and the two of them are hugging each other, and their attitude seems so intimate.
If Tang Yanqing hugged Yu Manman by himself, it would be harassment, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that Yu Manman was more enthusiastic and proactive than Tang Yanqing.
Ji Xiunian was in a state of confusion and shock, not knowing how Tang Yanqing did it.
Thinking of the wife-chasing alliance proposed by Tang Yanqing before, Ji Xiunian refused at first, but now he was a little hesitant about whether to participate.
If he was so good at it, it seemed that it would be okay for him to learn from him.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiunian looked at Lu Xu, but saw that the other party was a little stunned like him at first, but then he strode forward as if he suddenly realized it.
It can be seen that Yu Manman is really afraid of the eighth sister. Her body trembled slightly and her face was buried in the crook of Tang Yanqing's neck.
Tang Yanqing felt distressed for no reason. Just when she was thinking about how to ask the eighth sister to leave, Lu Xu came over and picked her up and separated her from Yu Manman's pants.
"Hey, hey, hey, eighth sister, look carefully, this is my senior sister."
Lu Xu always spoke gently to the eighth sister, and this time was the same, but there was a hint of reminder in his tone.
"Meow..."
The eighth sister looked at Yu Manman over there eagerly, and she felt that the little fish in her mouth was about to fly away.
Although she was extremely unwilling, she still agreed to Lu Xu's words. She rested her head on Lu Xu's chest, but her big round eyes never left Yu Manman, and her mouth was about to drool. Ji Xiunian stepped forward at
the right time, took out a tissue to wipe the saliva of the eighth sister, and said with a bit of laughter: "Eighth sister, no matter how greedy you are, you can't bite your sister's pants. Although my surname is Yu, I am not your dried fish."
As the saying goes, "the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional." Ji Xiunian just said something to ease the atmosphere, but Tang Yanqing felt that the person in his heart was obviously stiff.
"Yes, Eighth Sister, even if you like me, you should be more reserved, otherwise you will really scare me." Tang Yanqing didn't think much about it, just thinking that Eighth Sister was being naughty.
Yu Manman turned around when she heard Lu Xu's voice, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Eighth Sister being held in Lu Xu's arms.
After coming back to her senses and finding that she was hanging on Tang Yanqing, Yu Manman hurriedly jumped down: "Sorry, I was really too scared just now..."
"It's okay." If possible, Tang Yanqing hoped that Yu Manman would be rude to him.
Seeing that her mood slowly returned to stability, Tang Yanqing couldn't help but feel relieved: "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of cats, at least you're okay."
Yu Manman had no way of telling others why she was like this, after all, in her eyes, no one knew her secret.
Yu Manman, who was still in shock, saw Lu Xu holding the eighth sister in his arms, and couldn't help asking Lu Xu: "Xuzi, you adopted the eighth sister, right?"
Lu Xu nodded: "Yes." It's
just that the place where he picked up the eighth sister was not in the world of the living but in the underworld, but this is also a secret that cannot be spoken casually.
"Very good."
Yu Manman's face was a little pale, and she didn't know how scared she was just now.
She took out a talisman from her pocket and handed it to Lu Xu, and then forced a smile: "Xuzi, this is for you, I'll go back first."
"Thank you, senior sister."
"Okay, senior sister."
Lu Xu spoke very well, and people felt that he was in a good mood.
After sending Yu Manman away, Tang Yanqing still felt like he was in a dream.
It is a happy thing that the person you like suddenly hugs you, even if it is an accident.
He kept recalling the scene just now, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the sky.
Ji Xiunian frowned and said nothing, but exchanged glances with Lu Xu, and they both smiled and shook their heads.
Before walking over here, Ji Xiunian thought that Tang Yanqing's "single-breaking plan" had worked. As a result, when he walked in, he found that the initiator of all these misunderstandings was the eighth sister.
Before they could teach Eighth Sister not to bite other people's pants casually, Tang Yanqing on the side happily touched Eighth Sister's head and said, "Don't worry, I have already ordered the canned food I promised to give you. It's my thank-you fee for today. But, Eighth Sister, you must remember that the sister was really scared just now, so don't suddenly show up to scare her, okay?"
"Meow..." Eighth Sister was still regretting that the little fish was gone, but she was instantly happy when she heard Tang Yanqing say that.
Although she couldn't eat the delicious fish fresh on the spot, it wasn't so bad to have the canned food.
The sober Eighth Sister finally accepted the condition and looked in a good mood.
Lu Xu didn't expect that besides Ji Xiunian, there was someone so generous who chased after Eighth Sister to give her canned food.
"Oh! Mainly because I like it." Tang Yanqing was in a very good mood and couldn't help but say, "Xuzai, your eighth sister is like a matchmaker. In short
, she is super awesome." Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and didn't continue the topic.
After finally sending the excited Tang Yanqing away, the Death God Home App popped up a new order reminder. This time, Lu Xu didn't rush to place an order, but pulled Ji Xiunian to let him come: "Brother Nian, you take an order and try it."
