After school, Lu Qingyan took her newly minted deskmate, Xi Bo, to her rented place and continued to talk to her about dreams.
Xi Bo voiced his suspicions: "I suspect that your dream about doing homework was caused by someone casting a spell on you."
"You're saying someone is casting a spell on me?" Lu Qingyan feigned shock as she looked at Xi Bo, shaking her head in disbelief. "Do you think this is a TV show? Casting spells? These days everyone's talking about eliminating feudal superstition and promoting science. You can't fool me with that."
Why would I lie to you?
Hearing that Lu Qingyan didn't believe him, Xi Bo wasn't worried. In this era where faith was gradually fading, Taoist magic was also on the verge of disappearing. It was normal for many people to increasingly disbelieve in the existence of miraculous Taoist arts. Lu Qingyan's disbelief was something Xi Bo had long anticipated.
"Xi Bo, don't try to fool me with these lies. If what you're saying is true, how come I'm perfectly fine after being cursed? If that person has such abilities, why am I still alright? I know I don't have those miraculous abilities you're talking about to fight back, so why am I still okay?" Lu Qingyan took a few steps back, looking at Xi Bo warily, as if he were some kind of villain.
"Probably because of that sword." Xi Bo didn't explain, he suddenly said this, and reached out with his slender hand to lift Su Han, who was still fast asleep, out from the corner of the bed.
Lu Qingyan: ...
Su Han: ⊙▽⊙
Startled awake by Xi Bo, Su Han hadn't even seen who had grabbed it before it cried out excitedly, "Master, Master, come save me! I've fallen into the clutches of a demon!"
Lu Qingyan smiled: "Weren't you happy to see him before? Now that you have a chance to get close to him, you should be happy. By the way, I was still half asleep this morning and didn't ask you yet, why did your color change? Where did the black and yellow go?"
Su Han bristled: [When did I ever feel happy to see him? I was only happy for Master's mission!] Yes, that's it. Master has really misunderstood it. System Su Han thought aggrievedly.
"Well, thank you so much, Su Han." Lu Qingyan said, but Su Han still sensed that its master didn't believe it.
"I can change color, but you preferred that look before, so I changed into that. But I like this look better, Master. Don't you think I'm cuter this way?" Su Han wagged its tail, looking at Lu Qingyan expectantly.
Lu Qingyan looked at it; now it was all white, its majestic beard blending in with its fur, making it hard to distinguish. Its eyes, which had previously been yellowish-brown, had turned a brilliant sapphire blue, shining like gemstones.
It does seem a little bit prettier than before.
Xi Bo looked at Su Han, which he was holding in his hand, and smiled at Lu Qingyan: "I think the cat you keep at home is quite special."
Lu Qingyan quickly went over and snatched Su Han away, hugging him tightly: "No, no, I live alone, of course I need to keep some small animals. I really like our cat, Miaomiao, don't you think it's beautiful too?"
Xi Bo looked over with a half-smile, and just as Lu Qingyan was about to look away, his gaze fell on Su Han: "I've seen other people's cats before, and I used to have one myself. But none of the kittens I've ever seen are like yours."
