Chapter 91 The Shocked Old Man

The old man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, never expecting that his precious little marmoset had been so easily abducted by Liang He.

"My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen Coco so close to other people!"

The slightly jealous old man tapped the little marmoset's forehead, both amused and annoyed, and laughed at it for being heartless, abandoning its old man for a pretty lady.

"It might be hungry?"

Liang He pointed to the platinum lion.

“I just fed Cyril, so it might have had a bit of meat smell on it, and Coco can smell it.”

The pygmy marmoset is an omnivore, generally eating tree sap and occasionally catching insects to supplement its protein intake.

Beef should be considered a high-quality protein source, right?

"Haha, it is indeed a little foodie, but it won't eat anything anyone else feeds it without my permission..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Liang He tore a small piece of beef from the platinum lion's plate and handed it to the dwarf marmoset.

"cocoa?"

The old man couldn't believe that the dwarf marmoset was enjoying the shredded beef that Liang He had given it, completely disregarding his years of affection for it.

"Ahem... Sir, would you like to sit down and eat with us?"

Holder, who was eating rice nearby, finally couldn't hold back any longer. Fearing that Liang He would cause the old man to have a heart attack, he quickly invited the old man to sit down.

"Grandpa, don't find it strange. Liang He has a natural affinity for animals; it's just an isolated case."

So please don't doubt life or get depressed.

The old man, who understood Holder's unspoken meaning, was speechless. In the end, he just chuckled and shook his head, looking at the little monkey who was happily eating with great kindness.

"I don't care about these things, I'm just surprised."

He's quite old, and he can take things in stride. It's just that the dwarf marmoset's special treatment of Liang He was unexpected.

However, after hearing what Holder said, he became curious.

"So, little girl, you were born with a natural affinity for animals?"

"……Um."

Liang He responded hesitantly. Although she felt that she was nothing special, since Holder said so, he must have his reasons, right?
“I see. No wonder this lion listens to you so well. Even when you take food from his bowl, he doesn’t guard it.”

The old man was puzzled just now. It was better for Liang He to stuff the meat directly into the mouth of the platinum lion with her hands, or to tear a piece of meat from the platinum lion's plate and feed it to the dwarf monkey.

Both of these behaviors were tantamount to provocation, but the platinum lion was clearly used to it. Not only did it not reject Liang He's hand, it would even deliberately avoid it, for fear of accidentally biting her.

"Cyril is just a little mischievous, but he has a very good personality."

Aside from the fact that it can't help jumping whenever it sees a circle, Liang He thinks that the Platinum Giant Lion is quite easy to take care of as a pampered baby.

"Little girl, are you a zookeeper?"

Lions are a Class I protected animal in the federal government and cannot be kept as pets by private individuals, which is why the old gentleman asked this question.

"Yes, I am a zookeeper at the Tianyao Star Key Animal Protection Area."

Liang He thought she was just chatting casually with the old man and there was no need for her to mention that she was the stationmaster or anything like that; in her opinion, it made no difference.

"Tianyao Star, that's quite a nice place." The old man looked meaningfully at the platinum giant lion that had just finished eating and drinking and was licking its paws and washing its face, and smiled.

The three chatted happily, but tacitly refrained from asking each other's names. After finishing their dinner, Liang He returned the well-fed pygmy marmoset to the old man and then left the restaurant with the platinum lion.

"Cyril, go to sleep well tonight and don't run around, okay?"

Liang He locked the cabin door, but still gave the Platinum Lion some instructions, fearing that he might have learned how to open the door from the Azure Falcon and the others without her knowledge, and then sneak out and scare the other passengers.

"Woooo~"

The platinum lion responded lazily, yawned, and then lay down closest to Liang He's bedside, using its paws as a pillow, resting its chin on them, its eyelids drooping, and gradually falling asleep.

"Looks like Cyril is tired after a whole day of work."

Holder sat on the opposite bed, looking at the platinum lion's appearance, and knew that he probably wouldn't cause any more trouble that night.

Liang He, who agreed with this, finally felt relieved. After washing up in the private bathroom in the luxury cabin, she went to sleep.

In her sleep, Liang He felt a familiar presence surrounding her, but she did not open her eyes. The platinum giant lion guarding her, however, opened its eyes, but upon seeing her, it lazily changed its position and continued to sleep, not paying any attention to her.

"Dong dong dong."

Hearing the commotion outside early in the morning, Holder immediately jumped out of bed after someone knocked on the door. He only opened the door after confirming that Liang He was also awake and properly dressed.

"Hello sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but a passenger just discovered their clothes were stolen, so I wanted to ask if you have any items missing?"

The train police discreetly observed the cabin and found that besides Liang He and Hurd, there was only a platinum giant lion that was still asleep. As for the suitcases, they were left wide open for easy access, and no missing clothes were found.

"No, do you think anyone would dare to come in and steal anything?"

Holder casually pointed to the platinum lion. Although it was obedient and well-behaved, one shouldn't treat a lion as a beast without considering its ferocity.

Sensing his displeasure, the train police officer quickly apologized and then left.

"what happened?"

After Holder closed the hatch again, Liang He looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Someone lost their clothes. I guess it's someone who likes to act like an aristocrat, wearing expensive formal wear when they go out. Now that they've lost them, they're worried."

It's not that Holder is prejudiced, but nobles who can afford expensive formal wear and need to wear formal wear to banquets almost never travel by starship. They are usually picked up by private jets, just like when Liang He went to D139 last time.

Traveling by starship, especially this super-sized starship, is basically for interstellar travelers. Who would travel with an expensive formal dress? That would just be pretentious.

"Everyone has different ideas. I may not understand, but I respect them."

Liang He didn't care much about such things; there are always exceptions, and no one can say for sure.

"We still have more than two hours to go before we arrive at Green Field Star. Let's go have some brunch first."

When they arrived at Green Field Star, it was already 1 p.m., and there might not be any time left for lunch. Liang He felt bad about troubling others to prepare lunch for them.

"Okay, you go first. I'll wash my face, tidy myself up, and then come to the restaurant to find you."

Holder went into the restroom, while Liang He led the platinum lion away first, heading to the animal restaurant from the previous night.

This time, she saw the man she had met in the elevator the night before again.

He wore a black hat, but a strand of pure black curly hair was vaguely visible, and his black and gold suit made his figure look exceptionally tall and slender.

"Hello, do you need to take the elevator?"
