It's just a toy, why would you care if it breaks?

Chapter 64 The Cute Fierce Cat

Wei Xun chuckled softly as he looked at his timid appearance.

He pinched Nan Yan's nape, his tone indulgent: "Just kidding. Look how scared you are, you're practically scared out of your wits."

Nan Yan raised her head, her eyes still filled with lingering fear, and stared blankly at Wei Xun: "Are you kidding me?"

"Okay." Wei Xun nodded and tidied the stray hairs on his forehead. "Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to get a cat? Let's rest at home for a bit, and then go to the pet market to pick one out."

Nan Yan's eyes darkened, she lowered her head and whispered, "I don't want a cat anymore. That big teddy bear is enough for me."

Wei Xun was somewhat surprised: "Why do you suddenly not want it anymore?"

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment: "Sir, I saw an idiom in the idiom dictionary a few days ago, which means 'too busy to take care of oneself.' I'm already troubling you enough as I am now, and if you were to raise another cat..."

Wei Xun pinched Nan Yan's chin, making him look up at him: "Silly boy, who said you're a nuisance? I'm willing to raise a cat for you, as long as you like it, don't worry about these things. I have the money and time, more than enough to raise you and the cat."

Nan Yan shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to. Sir, really, it's not necessary. The teddy bear won't get sick, doesn't need food, and doesn't need anyone to keep it company. I feel very safe holding it, and I don't want to be a burden to you."

Looking at his stubborn appearance, Wei Xun felt both sad and soft-hearted.

He reached out and pulled Nan Yan into a tight embrace: "Nan Yan, listen to me. You are never a burden to me, never have been. You are my darling."

Nan Yan leaned against Wei Xun's chest, her nose tingling, and her eyes reddened again.

He's so smart, how could he not know? The word "baby" sounds affectionate, but it always carries a hint of a toy.

He was nothing more than a homeless man, the cheapest product in the club. It was already incredibly lucky that Wei Xun bought him, gave him a place to live, food to eat, and spared him from being beaten.

Ultimately, he still relied on Wei Xun to live, and his honor, disgrace, life and death were all in Wei Xun's control.

But what could he do?

Moreover, Wei Xun treated him very well, giving him warmth and protection he had never experienced before.

He should have self-awareness, obediently do his duty, be Wei Xun's "toy," and keep Wei Xun happy. Only in this way can he make long-term plans.

Nan Yan sniffed, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and changed to a lighter topic: "Sir, when you went to the capital on a business trip, did you bring back any local specialties for me? Were they food?"

Wei Xun's smile froze instantly.

He then remembered that he had indeed promised to bring Nan Yan local specialties before going to the capital.

But this trip to the capital was fraught with danger. First, he was chased to the death. Then, he took the information card from the corpse. He encountered the people of "Jingwei Hai". He also discovered that Qiao Pi was connected with the Thorn Rose Club. He was on the verge of death the whole time. After finishing his business, he rushed back and completely forgot about buying local specialties.

Wei Xun looked somewhat embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry, Nan Yan. There were just too many things to handle this time, and it was all so rushed. I completely forgot about it. It was my fault."

Seeing his unusually embarrassed state, Nan Yan suddenly had a bold idea.

He deliberately put on a stern face, mimicking the tone of those trainers lecturing people at the Thorn Rose Club, and said in a deep voice, "If you're wrong, you'll be punished."

Wei Xun's expression changed instantly, from awkward to intrigued.

He stared at Nan Yan's feignedly serious face, a sly smile flickering in his eyes: "Oh? Is this little kitten going to punish me?"

Nan Yan felt flustered under his gaze, and the courage she had just mustered vanished in an instant.

He shrank back, his eyes becoming timid, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, I...may I punish you?"

"Of course." Wei Xun raised an eyebrow: "How does the little kitten want to punish me? Whatever the punishment, I'll accept it."

Nan Yan bit her lower lip, her heart pounding.

He hesitated for a long time before whispering, "I...I want to blindfold you and bite you again."

Wei Xun reached out and pinched his chin, his fingertips gently caressing his soft lips, and said teasingly, "That's it? You say you're going to punish me with this cowardly expression, but I don't feel any intimidation at all."

Provoked by him, Nan Yan steeled herself, forcefully pushed his hand away, tilted her head back, and tried to look fierce: "Then I'll punish you severely! You're not allowed to resist!"

Wei Xun's smile deepened; he couldn't have been happier: "Alright, I won't resist, I'll do whatever the little kitten says."

Nan Yan took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed Wei Xun's tie, tugging at it forcefully: "Come with me!"

His strength wasn't great; it was more like he was being affectionate than pulling.

Wei Xun stood up with his help and let him lead him to the bedroom.

While walking up the stairs, Wei Xun reminded him, "Walk slowly, be careful of your knee injury."

Nan Yan paused for a moment, then quickened her pace, saying in a cute but fierce tone, "You should worry about your own fate! You're about to be punished, and you still have the mind to worry about me!"

Wei Xun suppressed a laugh and cooperated with his movements, being "escorted" step by step to the second-floor bedroom.

delete.

Wei Xun lay there, watching him work up a sweat, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sir, please don't laugh!" Nan Yan was both embarrassed and angry, her cheeks flushed red: "Delete it."

delete.

He was somewhat deflated and turned to get out of bed: "Fine, then. There's no gauze scarf, so I'll let you off the hook. You can get up now."

"No!" Wei Xun quickly called out to him, coaxing, "I forgot to bring you local specialties. That's such a serious mistake, it's unforgivable. You have to punish me properly so I'll remember this lesson."

delete.

Nan Yan puffed out her cheeks and grabbed Wei Xun's hand.

He's learned his lesson this time...

delete.

This feeling was strange, leaving him somewhat bewildered and unsure of what to do next.

The bedroom was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

Nan Yan's heart was pounding faster and faster. He clenched his fists, trying to recall the scenes he had seen at the club, and tried to imitate the trainers and show some "authority".

But looking at Wei Xun lying there quietly, he just couldn't bring himself to harden his heart.

"...Little kitty, why aren't you moving? Can't think of a way to punish me?"

Nan Yan blushed at his words and quickly went to the bedside, reaching out to gently push Wei Xun's shoulder: "Don't talk! Be good when you're being punished!"

His force was very light; when he pushed Wei Xun, it was like tickling him.

Wei Xun chuckled softly.

This made Nan Yan's cheeks turn even redder.

Nan Yan bit her lip, her shyness growing stronger.

He hadn't actually decided how to punish Wei Xun; his mention of punishment was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Seeing Wei Xun's completely cooperative attitude, he was at a loss for what to do.

Wei Xun seemed to see through his thoughts. He turned his head slightly and said, "Don't you know how to punish me? It's okay, I'll teach you..."

Nan Yan's face instantly turned bright red: "This..."

Wei Xun's voice was tinged with amusement: "Didn't you say you were going to bite me? On my shoulder. Or, where does the little kitten want to bite?"

Nan Yan was shy...

Wei Xun's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
