Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Um..."

Xu Youyue felt a pang of guilt. She was at a loss, unsure how to comfort the girl who had been hurt so deeply that she had crouched down on the spot.

She anxiously tried to organize her thoughts, but unexpectedly, the white-haired woman suddenly jumped up.

"Huh? You didn't actually take this seriously, did you?!"

"No way, no way? You really think I'm that fragile, Miss?"

Xu Lin's sarcastic remarks, teetering on the edge of self-destruction, made the young lady's eyes grow increasingly gloomy.

"Xu! Lin!"

Xu Youyue's furious roar, filled with gritted teeth, was so deep it sounded as if her vocal cords were twisted, like a demon crawling out of hell.

She bared her teeth and brandished her claws, determined to teach this bastard who wasted other people's kindness and then acted arrogantly a lesson!

"Ah! yamero!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Lin immediately ran away.

Pushing open the door to the recording studio, the boss and Sister Feng were still silent outside when the two people who had just been leaning on each other rushed out like the wind.

"Cousin, what's going on here..."

The boss had only finished speaking when a white-haired girl darted past him, cutting him off mid-sentence. As she ran, she waved and shouted at him without turning her head.

"Boss! The young lady has gone mad! I'm running for my life! I'll contact you later via the message in a bottle!"

"Ha! The message in a bottle contacting you is probably because..."

Are you kidding me!

Before he could even finish speaking, a dark figure darted past him with a whoosh, seemingly even faster than the white-haired girl running ahead.

"Oh, this..."

The boss was dumbfounded.

Although he had seen Xu Lin and his cousin flirting before, this was the first time they had done it so playfully. He was a little stunned, unsure whether to be happy for his cousin who had finally won Xu Lin's heart, or to worry that the two of them were getting more and more crazy and might one day be unable to resist going public with their relationship.

"Oh, this..."

Sister Feng was also dumbfounded.

She had initially thought that the girl who contacted her online was meticulous and articulate, giving off the vibe of a mature older man, was actually a quiet girl in real life. She even imagined her as a pitiful girl who had to stay at home because of her poor health, based on her boss's explanation.

After all, Xu Lin's appearance does indeed make people wonder if he has some kind of illness.

However... looking at how lively the child is now, it seems she was just overthinking things?

Why did you pursue me?!

Xu Lin sprinted ahead, rushing down the stairs from the second floor at lightning speed, shocking the entire operations team.

"Because you have cough syrup!"

Without a second thought, the young lady followed along with this tired old joke that only the two of them were still using, but she didn't stop walking at all.

After a while, the two chased each other, circling around most of the neighborhood.

Xu Lin was completely exhausted and was panting heavily, his hands on his knees.

"No, I can't take it anymore, Miss. You didn't have such good stamina before."

"My physical strength is, of course, excellent!"

The young lady managed to take a couple more steps, and when she reached Xu Lin's height, she slapped him on the shoulder.

The two of them sat on the flowerbed by the roadside without any regard for their image, resting in silence for a long time.

Neither of them spoke, and they watched the sunset together for the first time as the sky grew completely dark.

It wasn't very romantic, but it was quite fun.

In the end, Xu Lin stood up first. She looked at the starry sky, her eyes still smiling.

"Let's go home, the cat hasn't been fed yet."

"Ah."

Under the moonlight, the young lady vaguely noticed that Xu Lin's earlobes were slightly red.

She seems to have really changed.

P.S.: I fell asleep after dinner www Sorry for being so late!

Section 38, Chapter Thirty-Eight: Their Cats and Xu Lin's Invitation

An hour later, the two, exhausted, finally arrived home. As soon as they opened the door, the first thing they saw was two half-grown rag dolls chasing each other and biting their tails.

Hmm... It's like that, one chasing the other's tail, two pure white kittens circling around the living room like an ouroboros, it looks pretty cute.

Suddenly, the two little ones seemed to notice that the airflow was not right, and stopped almost at the same time. One of them, which had not yet stopped, stumbled and turned around with perfect synchronization, tilted its head, and gently sniffed twice with its little nose.

A glint of light flashed in his large blue eyes!

"Waaah, come here and let Mommy hug you!"

The young lady was completely charmed. Before she could even take off her shoes, she squatted down by the door, arms outstretched, imagining the kitten jumping into her arms.

"Miss, don't squat here. If you want to pet the cat, go inside."

Xu Lin sighed helplessly. Ever since the two little ones arrived, the young lady had been like a useless person, obsessed with petting cats. This wasn't the first time she had seen this scene, but she could still feel the deep helplessness in her heart.

"Go away, don't scare them."

The young lady gave Xu Lin's thigh a disdainful push, then teased the two little ones who were still standing there with a big smile on her face.

Meow~?

One of the slightly larger, grayish-brown ragdolls let out a soft cry, seemingly puzzled.

Then, the two little ones sprang into action, their untrimmed paws pattering on the floor, and their short legs darted towards the young lady.

Xu Lin behind him.

"Aaaaaah! You jealous bastard!"

The young lady screamed in a frenzy, her voice filled with ugliness.

"What? They're just hungry, aren't they?"

Xu Lin changed into his slippers, glanced at the half-bowl of cat food he had left before leaving, and sighed.

"You're clearly a catnip addict, aren't you?! I brought Nike home, but he sleeps in your room every day!"

"Do you know how painful it is for me to wake up every morning and not see my cat?!"

The young lady's face was practically overflowing with sourness, and the whole room was filled with the refreshing scent of lemons.

The two kittens were named by the two of them separately. The light gray Ragdoll mentioned earlier is Nike, while Xu Lin's kitten...

Its name is Kailu.

A typical naming method used by a shut-in.

Oh, by the way, Kailu is a male cat.

"Do you know how painful it is for me to be licked awake every morning and to be sleep-deprived every day?"

Xu Lin complained with a blank expression, but he honestly reached out and petted the cat, then picked up the cat food bowl to feed the two cats.

"You're taking your blessings for granted!"

The young lady changed into slippers, grabbed the Nike bag, and shouted at Xu Lin.

"Human joys and sorrows are not shared; I only find them noisy."

Xu Lin poked his head out from the kitchen, his face full of helplessness.

Although it's not that she dislikes cats, their clinginess makes it really uncomfortable for someone like her who cultivates immortality to wake up too early!

Go cook your meal!

The young lady stomped her foot in annoyance, no longer wanting to deal with this jerk.

"Yes, young lady!"

……

Xu Lin didn't cook a fancy dinner; he simply cooked rice and stir-fried some mung bean sprouts.

She quite likes these kinds of simple vegetarian dishes, mainly because they are easy and convenient to make, and they taste good too.

If they really want a big meal, they'll just go out to a restaurant; there's no need to go through all that trouble at home.

"What time are you going to stream tonight, Miss?"

At the dinner table, Xu Lin was playing on his phone while eating, and asked casually.

"It'll be around nine o'clock, broadcast for about two hours, what's wrong?"

It's already 8:30, and the young lady's live stream announcement has already been released, so it definitely can't be changed.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just asking, and also to see if the timing could be different."

"And tomorrow? What time is it tomorrow?"

"?"

The young lady typed a question mark.

Xu Lin wouldn't normally care so much about her livestream schedule; he could just check the schedule and there's no need to ask her so inconsiderately.

But Xu Lin acted like he was just casually starting a conversation... and didn't seem like he was embarrassed to say anything.

Wait... she couldn't possibly be...?

Recalling what happened at the company this afternoon, the young lady suddenly felt a heat on the top of her head, as if Xu Lin's hand had been placed on her again.

A guess began to form in my mind.
