Just as he picked up Yanyan, Shen Cheng felt his arms sink again. He looked down and saw Shatang also silently fell into his arms.
Seeing this, Shen Cheng smiled faintly and said, "Sandal, I'm back."
“Hmm…” After a moment of tenderness in Shen Cheng’s arms, Shatang took two steps back and nodded to Shen Cheng: “Welcome back, Master.”
At the same time, Shatang also noticed Xiaoqi in Shen Cheng's arms, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Sister No. 7?"
Hearing Shatang's voice, Xiaoqi turned to look at Shatang. His dead eyes fluttered again, and he spoke a little stiffly, "Twenty...three?"
Sensing Xiaoqi's emotional fluctuations, Chen Cheng handed Xiaoqi to Shatang. Shatang took Xiaoqi and looked at Xiaoqi for a moment. Seeing Xiaoqi's current appearance, the smoky cat ears drooped slightly, and said, "I'm not the 23rd anymore. My name is Shatang now."
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, nodded stiffly, and said, "My name is... Xiao Qi..."
"Um……"
Chen Cheng walked forward, gently rubbed Shatang's soft white hair, and comforted her: "Xiaoqi will get better slowly."
"Number Seven... Sister Xiaoqi wasn't like this when I first met her. Back then, she was always smiling, comforting us and calming us down. She always believed that someone would come to save us in the end, which gave me hope to persevere..."
Shatang looked at Xiaoqi with some disappointment, but Xiaoqi just tilted his head and didn't react at all to what Shatang said, as if he had already forgotten everything Shatang said.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Noticing that the atmosphere seemed to have become a little depressed, Shen Cheng clapped his hands and spoke.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Cheng suddenly felt as if there was a burnt smell entering his nostrils. He sniffed his nose, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "What is burnt?"
Hearing this, Milk Tea was slightly startled, sniffed her nose, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Food from the kitchen!"
After that, Nai Cha ran back to the kitchen like a gust of wind. After a moment, she poked her head out of the kitchen with a sad face and looked at Chen Cheng: "Master, the food has gone black..."
Putting Yanyan down with a faint smile, Chen Cheng walked to Milk Tea and rubbed her hair, saying softly: "It's okay, I'll cook. You've worked hard during this period."
"Yeah." Milk tea first lowered her head with a red face, then raised her head and looked at Chen Cheng, and said: "I will help the master."
"good."
At this time, Liusu also came forward and said, "Let me help too."
Chen Cheng turned his head and glanced at Liusu, remembering the meal Liusu cooked at home, and nodded with a smile, not refusing: "Okay."
…
When Chen Cheng came out of the kitchen with Nai Cha and Liu Su carrying dishes, Xi Ming and Ling Xue were already playing around with the other girls at the dining table. They seemed to be getting along well and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After placing the fragrant dishes on the table, Shen Cheng found his seat and sat down. The moment Shen Cheng sat down, Xiao Qi trotted to Shen Cheng and sat on his lap.
Looking at Xiao Qi, who still had an expressionless and stiff demeanor, Chen Cheng smiled faintly and rubbed Xiao Qi's head: "You haven't eaten the food I cooked yet, right? I am very confident in my cooking skills."
Seeing that her seat was taken away, Yanyan couldn't help but pout. But Nai Cha reached out and held Yanyan in her arms. The two lolis, one big and one small, sitting together looked very healing.
"You haven't tasted the dishes cooked by senior yet, right? Senior's cooking skills are very good!" After saying this to Liusu, Lingxue, Ximing and others, Lin Yuhui picked up a dish and put it in her mouth. After chewing for a while, she squinted her eyes with a happy look on her face.
"I'm looking forward to it~" Xi Ming smiled faintly and took a bite of the dish. Then his eyes lit up slightly: "It's really good. Lingxue, you should try it too."
While speaking, Ximing picked up some dishes and put them in Lingxue's bowl.
"I... I can pick up the food myself..." Lingxue glared at Ximing with a red face, then lowered her head and took a bite.
The next moment, Lingxue's two little ears twitched rapidly twice. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Cheng. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but immediately swallowed the words back and turned her head away, saying, "Not bad!"
"Then eat more." Shen Cheng smiled gently.
Liusu looked at the food she had just put into the bowl and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Come to think of it, the last time I was clearing out the Akebono Organization in Mio City, I almost got to eat the pork chop rice made by Chen Cheng...
Liusu picked up the food and put it into her mouth. After savoring it for a moment, she was slightly startled, and then the black cat ears on her head also twitched twice.
It seems... it's really good.
After a happy dinner, the girls went back to their rooms to sleep.
Before going to bed, Shatang looked at Xiaoqi in Shen Cheng's arms and asked, "Master, can I sleep with Sister Xiaoqi tonight?"
Considering that being with Shatang might be beneficial to Xiaoqi's situation, Chen Cheng did not refuse and sent Xiaoqi to Shatang's arms: "You can catch up with Xiaoqi tonight, but don't stay up too late."
"Well, thank you, Master!" Picking up Xiao Qi, a smile appeared on Shatang's face. Then, Shatang turned around and looked around. Seeing that all the other girls had gone back to their rooms to sleep, she moved closer to Chen Cheng.
Under Shen Cheng's somewhat puzzled gaze, Shatang stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked Shen Cheng on the side of the face.
The body fragrance of Shatang, mixed with the smell of shower gel and shampoo, lingered at the tip of Shen Cheng's nose, making Shen Cheng unable to react for a while.
The moment her face touched Chen Cheng's, she separated. Shatang, who was holding Xiao Qi, looked at Chen Cheng, who had become somewhat stunned. She took two steps back, blushing and whispering, "Good night, Master."
After saying that, Sugar turned around and went back to her room.
After standing at the door of his room for a long while, Shen Cheng came to his senses and wiped the water stains on his cheek. He couldn't help but smile and sighed slightly, then turned around and went back to his room.
Lying down on the bed, Shen Cheng slowly closed his eyes. The fatigue brought by the long car ride quickly flooded into his brain, and gradually, Shen Cheng's consciousness became drowsy.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Cheng suddenly discovered that in the darkness of his vision after closing his eyes, a dark purple feather slowly fell down...
Seeing this, Chen Cheng slowly raised his hand - perhaps it was because of the injection of the Owl Fantasy Gene Potions, this time he could clearly sense that the feather and the most fundamental state of this dark world were like a very fragile cage constructed by the mind. With just a slight force, he could crush the cage.
But after thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng did not choose to crush it, but let himself fall into this world...
