Chapter 135
“Bai Yi, Bai Xiaoxi, over here, over here!”
When Bai Yi came downstairs carrying his cat, Xia Jiajia, who was crouching at the doorway, spotted him immediately. She waved enthusiastically and offered him a wrapped zongzi. (TL: rice dumpling)
“Have you had breakfast? Want one?”
“Sister Jiajia, you seem to have a lot of free time lately. You haven’t been going to school either,” Bai Yi declined the zongzi and crouched down next to her with his cat. “Are you planning to do your internship back in our Yuanyang City?”
He casually made conversation while stroking the cat’s soft fur. His eyes naturally narrowed and the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly as he became absorbed in petting the cat.
From Xia Jiajia’s perspective, the young man’s content expression looked exactly like a cat lazily sunbathing after a satisfying meal. Combined with the actual cat lounging in his arms, it was a double dose of cat cuteness that instantly dealt a critical hit to Xia Jiajia, emptying her HP bar. She couldn’t help but let out a soft “wow.”
Though quiet, Bai Yi heard it clearly.
He tilted his head in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
…The emotional waves coming from her were clearly warm and pleasant, light and joyful, just like how he felt every time he researched different ways to cook fish and then ate it.
