I wonder if the hamster he gave to Ah Xun is still around? It's been so long, it's probably dead by now, after all, hamsters don't live very long.
Speaking of which... it seems that the male protagonist has a phobia of furry things.
Yin Chen stroked his chin, smiling as he observed He Mubai's tense, almost fearful expression, and asked, "Mr. He, do you like cats?"
"It's... alright." He Mubai saw that the white cat was lying quietly next to Yin Chen, neither meowing nor glancing at him. He finally relaxed, but was still a little uneasy. He simply said, "Well... it's so late, I won't disturb you any longer."
Yin Chen feigned surprise and asked, "Mr. He, won't you sit for a while longer?"
"No, no..." He Mubai glanced at the white cat, but was immediately startled by its cold, dark golden vertical pupils and looked away. He tried to maintain his smile and stood up impatiently: "I'll be going now."
"Alright then... Mr. He, take care." Yin Chen smiled and hugged Long Xun in his arms, pinched one of his front paws and waved it at He Mubai, coaxing him softly, "Come on, Xun, say goodbye to Mr. He."
Long Xun: "..."
He felt that this was idiotic, but in order to make his wife happy, Long Xun still obediently let out a soft call.
Meow~!
The soft meow sent a shiver down He Mubai's spine, making his expression even stiffer. As if his fur had been bristled, he quickly said goodbye and darted to the door, running away impatiently.
Only after He Mubai's hurried footsteps, forgetting to even take the elevator, faded into the distance, did Yin Chen hug Long Xun and burst into laughter. He tapped his beloved cat's little nose with his slender index finger and said with a smile, "Good boy, Xun, well done."
He has no grudge against the male lead, but... given his current personality, he just has a peculiar sense of humor, enjoying watching others make fools of themselves.
Long Xun saw him laughing happily, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and a faint smile. The color in his dark golden vertical pupils became brighter and lighter, and the wisps of darkness became less and less visible each day. It was called dark gold, but now it was closer to a beautiful and heavy gold.
I wonder when it will return to its original pale gold color? That beautiful color... I also wonder what happened to the boss later, that his eyes became so gloomy.
Yin Chen smiled and rubbed his nose against the big white cat's nose. Notice how the cat's eyes softened, and then it kissed his lips.
Hmm... his cat is just so cute!
But no matter what, he seems to be getting better little by little, and that's enough.
The next day at work, Yin Chen learned of his promotion. Once again switching personalities, Yin Chen didn't hesitate to call He Mubai, wanting to treat him to dinner to express his gratitude.
He Mubai was somewhat surprised that Yin Chen had guessed it was him who had made the move behind the scenes. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Then, at the dinner table, he saw again the bright and cheerful smile he had seen when he was injured. It was completely different from the smile that was kind but inexplicably imposing yesterday.
Yin Chen thanked him for his thoughtfulness, but bluntly told He Mubai that he didn't need to go to such lengths, stating that he was simply following Lei Feng's spirit of helping those in need and didn't need to take it so seriously. He Mubai verbally agreed, but in his heart, he was thinking of another way to repay the favor.
As the two finished their meal and walked towards the parking lot, a group of thugs were having a brawl. However, when they saw He Mubai and Yin Chen arrive, the group deliberately moved closer to them.
Upon seeing this, He Mubai immediately reacted, shoving Yin Chen to dodge the flying stick, and then kicking him away. Sure enough, the group of thugs pulled out knives.
"Mr. Yin, you must leave quickly! They're after me!" He Mubai said urgently.
Yin Chen had been waiting for this moment. In the original story, Yin Chen died at this time, and he could leave as soon as he could resolve the situation.
Rolling up his sleeves, Yin Chen laughed and said, "I'm not the kind of person who would abandon my friends and run away for my life." Then he joined the battle.
He Mubai felt a surge of warmth and anxiety. The Yin Chen he was investigating was just an ordinary person, but this group of thugs were actually skilled gangsters. This was not the time to be loyal!
Before he could offer any further advice, what happened next astonished him and made his eyes widen in surprise.
Yin Chen was one of the top fighters in the Dragon Group. Even though his physical abilities weren't quite up to par with the new guy, he could still easily deal with a group of thugs.
He subtly influenced the circulation of blood in these people's bodies with his supernatural abilities. Soon, these thugs became dizzy and weak, unable to exert any strength. In He Mubai's eyes, however, his benefactor was invincible. He punched and kicked them until they were knocked down. After finishing, he was calm and composed, with an expression of unsatisfaction.
"Let's go, Mr. He." Yin Chen smiled and looked at He Mubai.
He Mubai noticed that one of the thugs who was lying down was moving strangely, and his pupils contracted as he rushed towards Yin Chen: "Watch out!"
A soft gunshot rang out, and Yin Chen belatedly turned his head to see a figure in a white robe and hooded head suddenly appear behind him. The gleaming blade flashed with a dazzling, eerie blue light, and the person at the end of the blade's edge screamed as the hand holding the gun was severed from his wrist, blood spurting out immediately.
Long Xun sheathed his sword, glanced back at Yin Chen who was intently watching him, pursed his lips, and quietly disappeared.
He Mubai stared blankly as the man suddenly appeared and disappeared. The fantastical scene challenged his worldview, and he couldn't help but ask in awe, "That is...?"
Yin Chen scratched the back of his head, feigning surprise, and asked, "What? How come this person's hand is broken?"
He Mubai gave him a complicated look and shook his head: "It's nothing."
Could it be that he was the only one who saw that man? That person didn't seem human; it had furry ears and a tail...
He Mubai shivered, feeling even more awe for the furry little creature.
