A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Now that he's become the deputy director, Lin Yu can openly slack off.

Going to work is out of the question; I'll just go home and pet my cat.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yu pushed open the door, and the aroma of food wafted out of the house.

"Master is back!"

Anna peeked out from the kitchen, her cat ears twitching happily, a spatula in her hand, looking every bit the virtuous wife.

Lin Yu changed his shoes and walked over, and Anna immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Welcome home~" She buried her face in Lin Yu's chest and rubbed against him, taking a deep breath: "You've worked hard today too~"

Lin Yu ruffled Anna's hair: "What did you make for lunch?"

"Stewed meat! And stir-fried vegetables and rice!" Anna looked up, her eyes sparkling.

"I followed the recipe, Master, please try it~"

She pulled Lin Yu to the dining table and sat him down, then jogged over to get the dishes.

The food was laid out, simple yet thoughtful.

Anna sat opposite Lin Yu, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at him: "Try it~"

Lin Yu picked up a piece of meat.

It's stewed until tender and the flavor is just right.

"How is it?" Anna asked nervously.

"The kitten's cooking skills have improved again; it's delicious."

Anna's eyes curved into crescent moons, and her tail wagged happily behind the chair: "Hehe, that's good~"

She started eating herself, glancing at Lin Yu every few bites, as if to confirm whether he really liked it.

After finishing her meal, Anna cleared away the dishes.

Lin Yu leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching her busy at work.

The tiny figure tiptoed in front of the sink to wash the dishes, its cat ears twitching with each movement.

"Owner."

"Um?"

"Are you really taking me to see Sister Su Wan this afternoon?" Anna's voice was a little soft. "I'm a little nervous."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. He had indeed mentioned it to Anna when he got home last night.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

"I'm afraid they won't like me." Anna lowered her head to wipe the plates.

Lin Yu walked over and hugged her from behind.

Anna stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and leaned against Lin Yu's chest.

"They'll like you." Lin Yu nuzzled Anna's head with his chin. "You're great, sweetie, you don't need to compare yourself to anyone."

Anna turned around and wiped her wet hands on her apron, then wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's waist: "Master."

"Um."

"Sometimes I think, I wish it could always be like this." She pressed her face against Lin Yu's chest.

"I have a home, I have you, and I wait for you to come home every day..."

"It will always be."

"real?"

"real."

"Really? Really?"

"Really, really."

"It's a deal then." Anna tiptoed and kissed Lin Yu's chin. "I'll go prepare the snacks for this afternoon!"

She jogged over to rummage through the cupboard and found flour, sugar, and eggs.

Lin Yu sat on the living room sofa, watching her hum a song as she busied herself in the kitchen.

The oven glowed with a warm orange light, and a sweet aroma gradually filled the air.

Two hours later, Anna brought out a plate of cat paw cookies.

"Master, try this~"

Lin Yu took a bite: "Delicious."

Anna squinted happily and packed the cookies into a small box lined with parchment paper.

"I'll bring this to Sister Su Wan and Xiao Ya this afternoon~"

"Okay, we can take a nap first, and then we'll set off when we wake up."

Anna nodded, tidied up the kitchen, and then ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

Twenty minutes later, Anna came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet.

She grabbed a towel and ran toward Lin Yu, her meaning clear.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, then asked Anna to find a small stool to sit down, and began to carefully dry her hair.

After getting ready, Anna snuggled into bed and naturally snuggled up to Lin Yu, draping her tail over his leg: "Brother~"

"Um?"

"Lunch break kiss~"

Lin Yu lowered his head and kissed Anna on the forehead.

...

......

Afternoon —

Anna changed into a white dress with a light blue knitted cardigan over it, and her silver-white hair was tied into pigtails.

She was carrying a small basket filled with cat paw cookies.

"Master, is this alright?" Anna twirled around, her skirt billowing.

"Can."

"Isn't this too childish?" Anna looked down at her skirt.

"You look great like this." Lin Yu gently rubbed her ear. "This style suits you perfectly."

Anna felt a little relieved, as long as Lin Yu was satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu led Anna into the car, and the wheels rolled, soon arriving at Su Wan's apartment building.

Although Lin Yu had a spare key, he still knocked on the door.

The door opened.

Su Wan stood at the door, wearing a light purple cheongsam today. When she saw Lin Yu, she said softly, "You're here~"

His gaze then fell on Anna, and his smile deepened: "Ah~ What an adorable little kitten~ Come in quickly."

Anna bowed slightly nervously: "Hello, Sister Su Wan..."

"Don't be so polite." Su Wan pulled her inside. "Just call me Su Wan."

In the living room, Su Xiaoya was sitting on the carpet.

Hearing the noise, she looked up.

Seeing a blush flash across Lin Yu's face, he then noticed Anna:

"Oh? What a cute girl."

"Xiaoya, this is Anna," Lin Yu introduced.

Su Xiaoya stood up and walked to Anna.

She was half a head taller than Anna, and looked down at Anna's cat ears and tail.

"Are you... a cat?"

Anna nodded, her ears twitching.

Su Xiaoya reached out to touch it, then stopped, and said shyly, "Can I... touch it?"

"Yes, you can," Anna whispered.

Su Xiaoya carefully touched Anna's cat ears.

Soft and warm.

"Wow, so cute."

Anna blushed, and to hide her embarrassment, she handed over the cookie box she was holding:

"Here you go, Xiaoya. I made some cookies; I hope you like them."

Anna opened the box, revealing adorable golden cat paw cookies.

Su Xiaoya picked up a piece and took a bite: "Delicious!"

Anna breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Lin Yu sat on the sofa, watching the two girls interact adorably.

Su Wan brought over the tea and smiled when she saw this scene.

She then sat down next to Lin Yu and lowered her voice, "Xiao Ya hasn't been this happy in a long time. Thank you for bringing Anna."

Lin Yu said calmly, "You're welcome. I also want Anna to make more friends."

Su Wan picked up her teacup and took a sip, glancing at Anna and the others while intentionally or unintentionally rubbing her leg against Lin Yu.

Lin Yu glanced at her and said directly, "Haven't seen you for a few days, want it already?"

Su Wan pursed her lips.

Lin Yu hasn't come for several days. She's been gone for ages.

Seeing that her intentions had been exposed, Su Wan stopped pretending and whispered in Lin Yu's ear, "I just bought some fruit, why don't we go to the kitchen and make a fruit platter?"

Lin Yu nodded, and then the two walked to the kitchen and closed the door.

In the living room, Su Xiaoya put her arm around Anna's shoulder.

"Anna, how did you and Brother Lin Yu meet?"

Anna blinked: "My master saved me at the black market..."

"Master?" Su Xiaoya was stunned.

"Yes, I like to call him Master~" Anna's pretty face flushed slightly, "But also...husband...brother..."

Su Xiaoya stared at Anna for a few seconds, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

I'm a little envious, and a little curious.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Xiaoya lowered her voice and asked, "Did you...do that?"

Anna blushed even more and nodded.

"How are you feeling?"

"Very, very good," Anna said in a barely audible voice. "Master is very gentle."

Su Xiaoya bit her lip, then looked towards the kitchen.

The door was closed, but you could faintly hear voices and the sound of running water inside.

"Anna, would you like to hear what they're doing in there?"

Anna perked up her ears: "Listen?"

Su Xiaoya pulled Anna up and tiptoed to the kitchen door.
