"Is there something you need from me so late at night?" Shen Cheng asked with a stiff smile.
Lin Yuhui didn't say anything, but walked straight to Chen Cheng in silence, and then sat on the edge of the bed not far away from Chen Cheng.
After a while, Lin Yuhui, having composed herself, whispered, "Senior, why are you still up so late? Are you thinking about the things at the Institute of Biological Sciences?"
"...I guess so." Noticing that Lin Yuhui's tone seemed different from usual, Shen Cheng silently straightened his posture.
"Senior, running the Light Spot Cat Cafe while also taking care of the work at the Institute of Biological Sciences... must be very tiring?" Lin Yuhui's voice was very soft, so soft that Shen Cheng couldn't hear what she was saying unless he pricked up his ears.
Hearing this, Chen Cheng chuckled and said, "The Institute of Biological Sciences basically doesn't assign me any work. And there are you, Wen Yuanyuan, and Cheese and the others in the cat cafe. How could I possibly feel tired?"
"I'm not talking about being tired in this way..." Lin Yuhui's low voice made Shen Cheng lower his head slightly, and the smile on his face began to become a little forced.
Seeing Lin Yuhui stand up and face Chen Cheng, she said word by word: "Senior, on the night of your first mission, you actually injured your left arm, right? And it was a very serious injury."
“…” Shen Cheng nodded silently.
"Can you tell me about it?" Lin Yuhui suddenly asked.
Chen Cheng looked up at Lin Yuhui and saw that Lin Yuhui's face was extremely firm at this time, but tears were flashing in her eyes, shining like bright pearls under the moonlight.
Feeling his heart palpitate, Chen Cheng spoke, trying to keep things simple and light: "Well... I went to take in a Hu Huanya, and she kicked me in the left arm while I was taking her in."
The scene fell into silence again.
After a moment, Lin Yuhui murmured to herself, "Actually, I can help you share some of the burden..."
"Ah?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "What are you talking about? You have already helped me share a lot of the burden. Without you, my cat cafe would not be able to open. And now you have to work as a waiter in the store after half a day of classes every day..."
"That's not what I mean! Senior, are you really stupid or are you pretending not to understand? Why don't you understand?" Lin Yuhui's voice suddenly increased in volume, stopping Shen Cheng's words abruptly.
Leaning over the bed, Lin Yuhui put her face almost close to Chen Cheng's. Chen Cheng could even clearly see the tears welling up in Lin Yuhui's eyes. "Besides the work at the cat cafe, there's also the work at the Institute of Biological Sciences. Whether it's the work burden, the mental burden... or the burden in life, I can help you share it all! I also have fire abilities, I can help you too. The cat cafe's business is our business. Why do you have to take on all the troubles, senior?"
Even though Lin Yuhui was still deliberately lowering her voice at this moment, the emotions gushing out of her words made her voice seem a bit deafening to Shen Cheng.
Chen Cheng opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he swallowed the words back and silently reached out to wipe the tears flowing down Lin Yuhui's cheeks.
After Hui Hui had recovered, Shen Cheng said softly, "Hui Hui... you should understand that no matter what, I will never let anyone around me take risks. Moreover, some of these responsibilities were taken on by me to prevent you from getting involved...
You guys are supporting me from behind and taking over the management of the cat cafe. That's already the biggest burden I can bear. Because of you, I can hold on until now..."
"But……"
"Some things should be discussed after everything settles down, okay?" Chen Cheng gently placed his hands on Lin Yuhui's shoulders and said softly.
"..." After staring at Chen Cheng for a long time, Lin Yuhui noticed the unquestionable conviction in his eyes. She slowly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Then, senior, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don't take risks again, okay?"
"Yeah." Chen Cheng smiled faintly and nodded: "As long as I think about my family waiting for me, I will never put myself in danger. Or rather, it is because of you that I always have the belief in my heart that I must return safely no matter what... Thank you."
Seeing Lin Yuhui nod silently, Chen Cheng gently brushed her hair and said, "Go back to sleep. We still have to go camping in the morning."
"...Yeah." Lin Yuhui responded muffledly and turned to leave.
After watching Lin Yuhui walk out of the room and until the door closed, Chen Cheng finally spoke in the seemingly empty room and said, "You should go back too. Huihui is awake now. If you don't go back, Huihui will get suspicious."
As soon as the voice fell, Shatang came out from under the bed with drooping cat ears, and said to Chen Cheng with some resentment: "It's so dark under the bed..."
"If you had just been sleeping in your own bed, why would there be so much trouble?"
Although he spoke in a bad mood, Chen Cheng still reached out and ruffled Shatang's hair: "Go back to sleep, good night."
"Well, good night, master." Perhaps because she heard the conversation between Shen Cheng and Lin Yuhui, Shatang didn't bother to argue anymore.
Just after taking two steps towards the door, Shatang suddenly turned around and said, "Master, I have received some training in the organization before. I have a certain level of combat ability and can help you."
Chen Cheng was slightly stunned. This seemed to be the first time that Shatang took the initiative to mention the Huanya organization.
After a moment of silence, Shen Cheng said, "When I'm not around, protect Huihui and the others for me... Thank you."
