Chapter 53 The Culprit—That Cat!
……
After enduring the afternoon, it was finally dinnertime.
Yun Fuyu ran quickly to the cafeteria, and based on her memory of chatting with Xier, she selected some food that she thought Xier liked. Then she ran downstairs to the library and suddenly froze.
Seele is in the library, but you can't bring food into the library, and he didn't ask for Seele's contact information... Oh no, this is a dead end.
Just as Yun Fuyu was at a loss for what to do, a figure slowly walked towards the library exit. It was Xi'er. She had been timing her descent, but Yun Fuyu had gotten there even faster.
The girl's arm was bandaged and hung around her neck, which looked rather unsightly, displeasing her. Xi'er approached Yun Fuyu, slightly raising her head in response to the latter's smile: "Hey, where are you going?"
She seemed to really like the gesture of looking up, deliberately raising her own aura, but it always gave Yun Fuyu a cute feeling.
Yun Fuyu: "How about the artificial lake? It's not far from the library and it's quite cool there."
Seele nodded: "Okay."
So, Yun Fuyu led the way, with Xi'er following behind. But he suddenly said, "Xi'er, could you give me your phone number? Otherwise, it's inconvenient to contact you."
Seele paused slightly, then hummed in agreement: "Let's go to the artificial lake first, and we'll talk after we sit down."
No one spoke on the way. Seele slowly drifted into a daze.
Thump, I bumped into the person in front of me.
Just as Xi'er was about to retort sharply, she saw Yun Fuyu gritting his teeth and staring into the distance. Curious, Xi'er followed his gaze—at the edge of the artificial lake in the distance, a small gray-black cat was stretching its head out, licking the water in the lake with small mouthfuls, and occasionally reaching out its paw to scoop some water from the lake.
Seele: "That's...?"
Yun Fuyu said with certainty, "That's the cat from noon! It snatched my chicken leg and ran off in a flash before I even had time to react! I turned around and chased after it, and I just happened to bump into you..."
He is innocent too!
Seele nodded thoughtfully: So, it seems the culprit really is this cat, not that reckless Yun...
Yun Fuyu was carrying bags of food in both hands, so she could only stare at the cat but couldn't do anything about it.
Seele gently nudged him: "Leave dinner here first, then go find that cat and get revenge~"
Her tone was both serious and slightly sarcastic. Yun Fuyu looked at her, puzzled, but her mind raced and she made a decision—why think so much? Revenge is the time to strike!
The food was served in disposable cardboard boxes, so there was no risk of spillage if placed on the ground. Yun Fuyu put down the bag, took long strides, and his powerful physique allowed him to dash away like an arrow!
The cat seemed to sense the danger as well. When Yun Fuyu was only five meters away from it, it looked back and its fur stood on end! It quickly ran away along the lake shore!
But it was no use! We couldn't catch it at noon because of the complicated terrain, but there was nothing on the shore of the artificial lake except for a few pavilions!
Just before the gray cat took the risk and leaped onto the top of the pavilion, Yun Fuyu pounced like a hungry tiger and scooped it into her arms!
The Honkai energy quickly formed an elastic defense on his back. Yun Fuyu fell to the ground with his back to the ground, but he didn't even get dusty. He bounced up and stood up on the spot.
He flicked the gray cat's nose hard with his finger: "Little thing, you think you can fight me?!"
He carried the cat and, ignoring the stunned looks of those around him (his speed was incredible, and he was skilled in using Honkai energy; don't underestimate A-Yun! Those in the know understand that his series of actions are not easy to imitate), ran straight to Seele's side.
"It's what ruined us!"
Yun Fuyu held up the little gray cat's upper limbs and presented them to Xier, speaking righteously.
To be honest, this is a very cute kitten. It's definitely no more than a year old, and its color isn't entirely gray, but rather a pleasing pattern of normal gray and very light gray. Most notably, it has a pair of rare and beautiful light purple eyes.
If it were an ugly cat, Yun might have just used ranged attacks. He could have picked up a rock, coated it with Honkai energy, aimed, and thrown it—a guaranteed hit, guaranteed to leave the cat stunned but not brain-damaged. But because he recognized the cat as quite beautiful at first glance, he couldn't bring himself to use force. After catching it, he even used his own body to cushion its fall…
In short, seeing this adorable kitten, even though it was a bit dusty, its cuteness still melted Seele's heart, and she couldn't help but want to raise her bandaged hand to hug it...
Yun Fuyu decisively hid the little gray cat behind her back and emphasized to Xier, "You're injured, so don't use your left arm for the next few days!"
Seele felt a pang of regret, but obediently relaxed her arm. She glanced at the bag on the ground, her eyes lighting up: "You're bringing lunch, so give it to me? I can use my right hand~"
Yun Fuyu placed the little gray cat in front of her again: "Are you sure? If you hold it with one hand, it will definitely run away immediately."
Seele looked at the kitten, bent down slightly to meet its gaze... Its light purple eyes seemed to be able to captivate the soul, so moving that one could not help but be drawn to them.
Seele: "What good will it do you if you catch it? Are you really going to blame it for you hitting me? Leave it to me. If it tries to run away, let it go."
Before handing the cat to her, Yun Fuyu said cautiously, "It was indeed my carelessness that I bumped into you, and I admit that, but it's not innocent. I'm giving it to you now, so you can't be angry with me about what happened today!"
Seele sighed softly: "You...have you never dated a girl before?"
Yun Fuyu felt itchy all over: "What's wrong?"
Seele sighed again: "Never mind, I see."
Anyone who knows girls even a little bit knows that in this situation, you shouldn't bring up anything unnecessary; just quietly hand her the cat!
Seele held out her right hand: "Give it to me quickly, or Seele will get angry!"
When Seele referred to herself as "Seele," it was as if an electric current pierced through Yun Fuyu's mind and body.
The Seele he knew often referred to herself as Seele. So cute… just as cute as the girl in front of him.
He simulated a gust of wind in his hand to blow away the dust from the little gray cat before handing it to Seele.
The little gray cat didn't run away, but stayed comfortably in Seele's arms, its watery eyes staring at the food on the ground, its pink little tongue licking its lips.
"Woo..."
Seele let out a soft whimper, her tone soon tinged with delight: "Let's go, let's quickly find a place to sit down, it seems hungry!"
Yun Fuyu felt a pang of jealousy, but she had no right to say anything. She picked up the food and headed towards a deserted pavilion.
"..."
Just as Xi'er ran into the pavilion and sat down, playing with the kitten, Yun Fuyu was still walking slowly.
A wet, melodious voice sounded in his ear: "It's quite interesting to act out raising a little loli, isn't it?"
