Gift



Gift

Alina curiously stroked the kitten's soft, bouncy ear tips twice, and exclaimed inwardly, "So soft!"

Feels so good~

Chu Yanbing raised his hand and scratched the tip of his ear, which felt tingly and itchy. The liquid flowed out from Alina's arms and was on the desk by the window in the blink of an eye.

"Little cutie, are you leaving?" Alina asked incredulously.

It was just a touch of the ear.

Chu Yanbing wasn't leaving; he was just going to get something.

Animal form is just inconvenient.

After giving Alina a reassuring look, Chu Yanbing left through the window again.

"He's really gone!?"

Alina jumped up from her chair and ran quickly to the desk, where she braced herself against the table and looked out.

"Shouldn't we be used to spending the night with her?"

Alina murmured dejectedly, her eyes filled with obvious confusion.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Could it be that the little cutie had a sixth sense that she wanted to buy it some clothes tonight, so it left?

Before Alina could figure it out, a patch of snow-white appeared in her eyes again.

"Wow, cutie, you didn't leave!"

Alina leaned over and stared intently at the kitten, afraid that the little cutie might disappear in the blink of an eye.

However, a fleeting doubt crossed my mind.

Where did this little cutie just pop out from?

"What's this?"

Although the thing the kitten was holding was just as white as it, Alina still noticed something amiss at a glance.

Alina tentatively reached out and touched it, asking in confusion, "Is this also what you used to decorate your new home?"

Chu Yanbing lowered his head, placed the silk thread spit out by the double S-level egg worm in his mouth on the table, and then raised his paw to push Alina in front of him.

It tilted its head back, its icy blue pupils holding a gentle tenderness, and let out a soft "meow".

This is for you.

"For me?"

Alina pointed to herself, looking puzzled.

"Meow."

Chu Yanbing nodded firmly as he raised his paw and pushed forward again.

"This is... a bowstring?"

Alina looked down at it twice, then picked it up and examined it carefully before saying...

Unable to understand Alina's language, and fearing that she would have to bathe him herself again, Chu Yanbing quickly slipped into the bathroom while she was carrying the gift.

Touching and tugging at it, Alina's eyes gradually lit up, "This is amazing!"

Tough yet flexible, light and beautiful.

"Sweetie, where did you come from?"

Alina looked up and asked.

"Hey, where's the cat?"

The sound of pattering water filled my ears.

"It was in the bathroom."

The thought of the kitten taking a bath inside deepened Alina's already budding idea.

Sometimes, this little cutie is really smart, almost like a person.

But then Alina had a second thought.

Some animals do indeed have the same intelligence as children.

The only difference between a cute little thing and a more human-like one is?

Alina, who never expected that there could be a human who could transform into an animal, didn't think much about it at the moment.

Alina glanced at the bowstring she had finally managed to change and pondered for a moment.

I've decided to wait until this string breaks before replacing it.

"I'm so tired."

Thinking about the study tasks she had to complete that day, Alina had to force herself to suppress her urge to go on a shopping spree.

"Study first, then buy the clothes."

Alina consoled herself.

Without a special dryer for animal-shaped creatures, Chu Yanbing had to come out with her fur still wet.

Although Alina was studying, she was also thinking about the fluffy little thing in the bathroom.

"Come here, let me blow-dry your hair."

Alina put down her pen and smiled at Chu Yanbing.

The kitten's long, white fur clung tightly to its body, making it look rather pitiful.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Chu Yanbing obediently walked to Alina's side.

The silent hair dryer was turned on to its lowest setting, and warm air brushed against Chu Yanbing's fur, taking away the layers of moisture.

After drying the kitten, Alina immediately tucked it into her arms.

Studying while holding a cat.

His body suddenly became suspended in mid-air, but Chu Yanbing's heartbeat remained steady.

But the moment Alina held him in her arms, his heartbeat suddenly went out of control, pounding wildly in his chest.

With her snow-white earlobes trembling, Chu Yanbing once again felt as if her limbs were not her own.

The forelimbs, capable of crushing the hardest Zerg shells with a single stomp, were both numb and soft, with a warm sensation beneath the pads that made one blush even through clothing.

Chu Yanbing felt very uncomfortable being held so intimately in Alina's arms.

But he wants to get used to it.

Chu Yanbing tentatively moved its limbs in Alina's arms, its tail wagging somewhat helplessly for a while before finally encircling itself.

With her knees buckling, Chu Yanbing finally lay down obediently in Alina's arms, resting her round head on her two fluffy white front paws.

Chu Yanbing had only been lying down for a short while when he felt a familiar touch on his back.

As familiar yet unfamiliar words processed through her mind, Alina's hand unconsciously rested on the back of the kitten in her arms.

The skin beneath the downy fur trembled reflexively, and Chu Yanbing awkwardly handed the tail to Alina's hand.

He remembered that she loved to touch his tail.

A fluffy cat tail suddenly slipped into her palm, and Alina unconsciously began to knead it.

The tip of its tail looked like it was on fire.

Chu Yanbing's snow-white whiskers trembled, and his icy blue cat eyes seemed to hold a layer of mist. He felt a little regretful.

The scalded tail trembled and tried to pull away, but Alina instinctively grabbed it swiftly.

There's no way to escape.

Time passed second by second, and Chu Yanbing's entire body was enveloped in an ethereal, natural aura.

"mua~"

"Sweetie, I'm going to take a shower now."

After finishing her studies for the day, Alina excitedly picked up the kitten and gave it a kiss.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and the cotton candy kitten, which had been flushed, finally cooled down.

Slowly getting up and stretching his limbs, Chu Yanbing spotted a corner of the sofa and quickly hid himself inside.

After lying down, I still felt a bit empty.

It raised its paw and hooked a pillow, using it to cover most of itself.

It's safe now.

Chu Yanbing breathed a long sigh of relief.

Alina came out wrapped in a bathrobe and found that her little cutie was gone.

"Little cutie?" The cool voice was tinged with a hint of probing.

"They're not really leaving, are they?"

Alina went straight to the sofa to find the cat.

After all, this is the place my little cutie likes to be.

Actually, there's not much to look for; it was just a matter of perspective from the bathroom door.

As soon as Alina approached the sofa, she spotted the kitten, which was not well hidden at all.

"Sweetie, you're going to sleep already?"

Alina reached out and stroked the kitten's fur.

Chu Yanbing did not answer.

"Okay, you'll receive the surprise your sister prepared for you tomorrow!"

"Is this for me?"

Alina looked at the light green packaging box in front of her with a puzzled tone.

After finishing breakfast, Alina, who was planning to go to the forest to find arrows, was stopped by a thick, long tiger tail as she passed through her usual small garden.

Then they saw the tiger use its tail to lift a flat package off its back and place it steadily on the stone table.

The large, yellow-and-black-striped tail curved into a question mark, and it used the tip of its tail to nudge the gift towards Alina.

"Awoo."

I hope you like this gift.

Lu Jingbai's brownish-yellow eyes sparkled with anticipation.

It seems to be for her, Alina thought to herself as she opened the gift box.

Alina had only opened a small part of it, and before the contents could be revealed, she suddenly stopped.

It shouldn't be anything shameful or something that can't be shown on a live stream, right?

Why aren't you opening it? Don't you want it?

Worried, Lu Jingbai used his tail to open the gift box through the gap that Alina had made.

A light green floral dress lay quietly inside the gift box.

The light, gauze-like fabric is adorned with leaves and vines, and the sleeves resemble lotus leaf ripples, with subtle dark silver patterns shimmering in the morning light.

Alina reached out and picked up the skirt, and the silky hem cascaded down like a waterfall, creating ripples in the air.

[Oh my god! It's AN! One of the world's top luxury brands! You can't get a single piece of clothing for less than seven figures!]

[General Lu doesn't seem to have much of a family background. Is he bringing out his savings for a wife now?]

[To win over a wife, you definitely need to use your "wife-saving money"!]

[I agree with the comment above. However, Alina seems quite frugal. If the two of them were really together, and she knew that the General spent so many star coins on a dress, wouldn't she punish him by making him kneel on durians? [laughing emoji]]

[The general had already anticipated this; didn't you see it was a regular gift box? [doge emoji]]

A beautiful dress.

Who sent it?

A look of confusion appeared in Alina's eyes.

It probably wasn't sent by the flower fairies; the clothes they send are always delivered directly to her bedroom.

Moreover, after initially providing her with all the clothes she needed, they stopped sending her any more.

The beautiful, ruby-like eyes gazed at the large tiger, whose expression was docile (and expectant).

Could it be a gift from Big Tiger's... owner?

Why did Da Hu's owner give her a pretty dress?

A reward for good work?

Surely he's not thinking of pursuing her?

I only saw it on the live stream; I've never met it in real life.

The owner of the tiger shouldn't be such an unreliable person.

Recalling the photo of the mature and composed man she had seen in the pet information before, Alina denied the second possibility.

But, do they give skirts as employee rewards here?

Isn't this going a bit too far?

Alina was conflicted, wondering if this was a custom from another world.

"Awoo."

Don't you like it?

Seeing that Alina was only staring at the dress but showed no intention of accepting it, Lu Jingbai's tone betrayed his disappointment.

Pei Jingnian/He Yanzhou: Don't accept it, don't accept it...

Gu Hansheng's amber eyes also showed tension.

Ever since Chu Yanbing saw the light green gift box, her heart had been involuntarily pounding in her chest.

However, Chu Yanbing actually had a premonition.

She might accept it.

Alina doesn't seem to be very sensitive to these things.

If they were sensitive to emotions, they wouldn't be so approachable when interacting with their beast forms.

However, Chu Yanbing didn't think Alina was deliberately keeping them hanging.

From her eyes, Chu Yanbing saw only crystal-clear clarity.

She doesn't have many ulterior motives.

Wouldn't it be better to give out some bonuses?

Why did you give her a dress?

Alina was extremely puzzled.
