"Cat thief!"

The child's innocent voice, like a small firecracker, shattered the afternoon tranquility of Mingchun Garden.

Chen Bainian—a game planner who died of a heart attack from working in front of the computer in his previous life—is currently being chased all over the garden by a little girl.

He never dreamed that the biggest crisis he would face after his rebirth would not be how to start a business using the prophetic information, but how to prove to a five-year-old child that the cat was really given to him by his mother.

"I really wasn't a cat thief!" he explained as he jogged, his tone filled with the helplessness of a reborn person facing a "dimensional reduction attack."

In my past life, I never had this much trouble arguing with my boss or going up against programmers and artists. Now I've actually been defeated by a kid.

More importantly, he cherished his life and didn't want to be surrounded by neighbors for "stealing a cat" right after his rebirth.

"I don't believe it!" The little girl gasped for breath, her face flushed from running and anger. "I saved up my allowance for seven days to buy dried fish, and Mommy Cat wouldn't let me touch the kittens! Why would she give the cat to a stranger like you!"

When she reached the entrance of the residential area, she was too exhausted to run any further. She bent over and supported herself on her knees, but still spoke fiercely in a cute but adorable way: "You wait, Sister Jiang will be back soon."

"Sister Jiang?" Chen Bainian stopped and looked at her leisurely. Afraid that this little darling would pounce on him again, he took a half step back, with a smile in his eyes. "Okay, I'll wait for your Sister Jiang to come back and find me."

He thought to himself: It's always easier to communicate with adults than with little kids.

In my past life, I shortened my lifespan because I argued too much and endured too much hardship.

In this life, all he wants to do is take advantage of the window of opportunity presented by his rebirth to bring all those blockbuster games in his mind to life, so that he can enjoy a financially free retirement as soon as possible.

As for this "cat theft case," it would be best to resolve it as soon as possible.

"Gurgle..."

A light, quick whirring sound of rollers approached from afar, like a gust of wind cutting into this childish chase.

A tall figure on a skateboard, carrying a suitcase, glided past Chen Bainian. With a slight shift of weight, the skateboard came to a steady stop in front of the little girl.

"Little Leaf." A deep, magnetic voice rang out, tinged with amusement.

"Sister Jiang, you're finally back!" Little Yezi looked up and said in a clear voice.

Is this the "Sister Jiang" that Xiao Yezi was talking about?

Chen Bainian subconsciously glanced at it a couple more times.

Standing at just over 1.7 meters tall, she's considered tall for a girl from the South. Her black down jacket is open, paired with wide-leg jeans, and her neatly tied high ponytail resembles a proud rooster's tail, exuding a cool and confident vibe.

His profile was sharp and his nose was high and straight. However, the sunlight made it a little difficult to see his features, but Chen Bainian felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Why did you come to pick me up at the entrance of the community? Perfect timing, Sister Jiang brought you some delicious food." Sister Jiang casually squatted down, chatting with Xiao Yezi at eye level, and casually laid her suitcase down and opened it in front of her.

"Sister Jiang, what's something delicious?" Little Yezi's attention was immediately drawn to the mention of something tasty.

"Eat first, I'll tell you after you finish." Sister Jiang smiled and took a vacuum-sealed bag out of her suitcase.

The moment the packaging was torn open, a strong, spicy aroma wafted out, causing even Chen Bainian, who was a few steps away, to instinctively swallow.

Xiao Yezi looked at the food in front of her that looked like a chicken leg, twitched her nostrils slightly, and, tempted by the food, instinctively reached out to take it.

However, seeing the red oil glistening on the surface of the food, she forced herself to stop and cautiously asked, "Sister Jiang, is this... spicy?"

"It's not spicy, eat with confidence." Sister Jiang handed over the "chicken leg," her tone laced with a hint of slyness.

Little Leaf immediately grabbed it and took a big bite, oil splattering onto the corner of her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Sister Jiang asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile as she watched Xiao Yezi happily munching on the leaves.

"Yay, delicious, slurp!" Little Leaf nodded vigorously, slurping and mumbling, "But it's a little spicy! Sister Jiang, you lied!"

"Silly boy." Sister Jiang was amused by her, and the Sichuan accent in her voice naturally came out. She reached into her suitcase, took out a carton of milk, inserted a straw, and handed it over, "Here, to cool down the spiciness."

The unique Sichuan accent of "Guawazi" entered Chen Bainian's ears, and a certain string in his mind was suddenly plucked.

That voice... and that casual, teasing tone...

In his past life, when he worked overtime late into the night, he always liked to turn on his live stream as background noise. One of the top streamers had a voice that was almost exactly the same as the female voice in front of him!

"Twelfth Floor," a breath of fresh air in the future single-player game scene, is highly educated and intelligent, always able to explain the deep core of niche games clearly, and his occasional Sichuan accent has won him countless fans.

Unexpectedly, in this life, I encountered a future top streamer in this way?

Over here, Xiao Yezi took a sip of milk and then nibbled on the "chicken leg" before asking in a muffled voice, "Sister Jiang, what is this? It's so delicious..."

"Oh? This is..." Sister Jiang's lips curled into a strange smile as she looked at Xiao Yezi's longing eyes and deliberately dragged out her words, "Rabbit leg."

"Bunny... bunny?" Little Yezi's nibbling motion froze instantly, her little mouth pursed, and her eyes visibly reddened. "Sister Jiang, bunnies are so cute..."

Sister Jiang couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, her high ponytail bouncing merrily with her laugh: "So it seems I'll have to enjoy these adorable rabbit legs by myself?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to take back the rabbit leg.

"No!" Little Yezi immediately gripped the rabbit's leg tightly and pulled it in front of her, her protective behavior causing Sister Jiang to burst into unrestrained "goose goose goose" laughter again.

"Pfft." Watching the interaction between Sister Jiang and Xiao Yezi, Chen Bainian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This greedy little leaf had just threatened to seek "justice" from Sister Jiang, but when she returned, she was amused and kept running around in circles.

This little incident after his rebirth was unexpectedly interesting.

Xiao Yezi was hissing from the spiciness when she heard Chen Bainian's laughter and suddenly remembered that the "cat thief" was still next to her.

She quickly swallowed the meat in her mouth, pointed with her greasy little hand, and said in a slightly aggrieved and accusing tone, "Sister Jiang! You have to do something about it! It's him! He stole your kitten!"

"Oh?" Sister Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly turned around.

Sunlight fell on her face, and Chen Bainian finally saw her clearly—her eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, giving her a somewhat aloof look; her lips were thin, but when she smiled, she exuded a nonchalant air.

Although his face was not made up and showed signs of travel fatigue, it almost perfectly matched his memory of how he looked during the "12th Floor" live broadcast!

Chen Bainian's laughter stopped abruptly, his heart filled with turmoil.

It really is her! The future top streamer in the single-player game circle, "Twelfth Floor" - Jiang Yiting.

He never expected that the first person he would have to "argue" with after his rebirth would be her.

Jiang Yiting, who had already closed her suitcase and stood up, swept her beautiful peach blossom eyes over with a scrutinizing look.

His deep voice was unhurried, carrying a subtle sense of pressure: "I heard you picked up a cat?"
