But by this time, almost two hours had passed since the two little ones angered Xu Lin. Nike and Kailu almost lost their voices before they were able to get a chance to eat snacks.

When Xu Lin woke up from her nap and came out of the bedroom again, the two little ones were walking around her. She believed that this punishment had given them a hard-won lesson, letting them know who the most untouchable person in the house was, right?

"How old are you, still getting angry with a cat!"

The young lady condemned Xu Lin's petty behavior. She still felt sorry for the cats, after all, she had brought them home herself, and she usually referred to the two little ones as their mother.

"Cats are like children; you can't spoil them all the time, or they'll cause trouble for you every day."

“Appropriate lessons are also necessary.”

Xu Lin remained calm. Although neither of the kittens would let her touch them now, she was well aware of the nature of cats.

She's the type who only learns from mistakes and never forgives them. Giving her two cans of food is all she needs to get over it. So she really doesn't care that Nike and Karoo aren't close to her anymore. In the end, she just doesn't really like having cats that much.

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever our strategist Xu says is right. Hurry up and make breakfast! I'm hungry!"

Xu Youyue rolled her eyes at her, then hugged Nike and stroked its fur.

"Alright, what would you like to eat today, Miss?"

Xu Lin didn't dwell on the barbed words of the young lady and readily agreed.

"Lin Mujiang, what would you like to eat?"

Xu Youyue turned around and threw the question back at the pink-haired girl.

"Huh? I'm fine with anything, senpai, just make whatever you like!"

"Then I'll just fry an egg, toast two slices of bread, and heat up some milk while I'm at it."

Xu Lin sighed. What to eat and what to cook every day was the biggest problem for her and Xu Youyue. It seemed that even with Lin Mu's arrival, it wouldn't make any difference.

"Okay, go make it, I'm hungry!"

Xu Youyue was the type who could do anything, and she didn't care about Xu Lin's perfunctory attitude. She simply pushed her into the kitchen.

She was really hungry; the takeout she ordered last night was too oily, so she didn't eat much.

Chapter 107, Section 108: A Comeback

Although he woke up feeling irritable this morning, Xu Lin is actually quite happy now that he's taken a nap.

For no reason, I was in a good mood, and I even hummed a song while frying eggs.

The young lady doesn't like eggs that are fully cooked and fried on both sides, so hers was taken out first, and the remaining two eggs were flipped and fried for a little while before being taken out of the pan.

Sprinkle with a little fine sea salt.

The freshly baked bread and the microwaved milk came out of the oven together.

The bread machine spit out two slices of bread with a "poof," and the microwave oven emits a crisp and pleasant "ding"—a delightful sound in life.

However, two loaves of bread weren't enough, so Xu Lin baked them again, just in time to let the milk cool down a bit, so as not to burn Xu Youyue's cat-like tongue.

"Young Miss! Lin Mu, come to the kitchen for your meal!"

Turning around, Xu Lin opened the kitchen door and called out to the living room. He then picked up a thick pair of heat-resistant gloves, put them on, and took three cups of milk out of the microwave.

A sweet, milky aroma immediately filled the kitchen.

It's not advisable to drink plain milk for breakfast. Xu Lin specially bought sweetened milk, which is paired with bread and fried eggs, making it perfect for girls who like sweets.

If it were up to her, she would prefer pickled vegetables with white rice porridge, which is simple and delicious.

"It smells so good, even stronger than the milky scent on you, Xu Lin."

The young lady's first words upon entering the kitchen were this, leaving the white-haired girl completely bewildered.

As she portioned out breakfast, she turned back in surprise.

"Huh? Do I smell like milk?"

The white-haired girl raised her arm and sniffed hard, but couldn't smell anything except the milky scent in the air. Somewhat speechless, she untied her apron.

"No? Miss, are you lying to me?"

"No, it really is there! But you just can't smell it."

The young lady did indeed smell a milky scent on Xu Lin.

"That's probably the smell of your milk-based shower gel. Hurry up and bring the food! Aren't you hungry?"

Xu Lin rolled his eyes.

Since her last period, the young lady suddenly realized that Xu Lin lacked common sense about women's daily life, so she specially ate some extra nutrition for her.

As a result, Xu Lin's shower time, which was originally half an hour, has now been extended to an hour.

There were just so many bottles and jars, you know? It would take a long time just to apply one bottle all over your body, and there was even a specific order in which they had to be used! Even with Xu Lin's memory, he had to memorize it several times.

I really don't know how a pampered young lady like me could remember that.

Perhaps this is a woman's natural talent.

"My senior is so kind and virtuous www"

Lin Mu, who had come in to take her breakfast, looked at Xu Lin, who had her hair tied in a neat ponytail and was hanging up her apron, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's all because of the young lady that she looks so good."

Xu Lin casually made a sarcastic remark about Xu Youyue, which made the black-haired girl so angry that she could barely hold the dishes.

"You've hardened your fists! Xu Lin, you just wait!"

Sitting at the dining table, Xu Youyue took a vicious bite of bread, her eyes still fixed on Xu Lin.

"Sakura-senpai, do you know what you look like right now?"

Lin Mu glanced at the young lady, then at the cat that had somehow ended up at her feet, picked it up, held it in his arms, and said softly.

"Ok?"

"It's especially like the Nike that was viciously eating cat food this morning while glaring fiercely at its senior."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Xu Lin burst out laughing.

It's often said that pets resemble their owners, and for example, Kailu's breed is definitely a direct copy of Xu Lin's.

But for Xu Youyue, this theorem is reversed. Ever since the young lady got Nike, her behavior has become more and more like a cat, to the point that Xu Lin has a misconception.

She probably has three cats, one big and two small.

"Lin Mu!! You're not going to help me!"

"I was just telling the truth..."

Faced with the young lady's angry roar, Lin Mu shrank back.

Last night they were model besties, sleeping in the same bed and whispering secrets, but this morning they've become fake besties. These two are really something else.

. . . . . .

After breakfast, Xu Lin went back to his room to organize the cotton candy he would need for tonight's live stream, while the young lady and Lin Mu lay on the sofa drying salted fish.

The two of them are like salted fish that need to be dried in the sun.

There's no way around it; after all, unless there's a special project, ESC employees usually don't go live in the morning. Lin Mu's train ticket was for the afternoon, so it's fair to say that this is their time to relax.

Working a few hours a day, but only taking two days off a month apart from taking leave, this is the daily work routine of a VUP (Video Up).

"I'm so bored, Lin Mu-chan."

The young lady scrolled through her feed to see if the video she submitted last night had passed the review, letting out a howl of despair.

"Salted Fish Thrust!"

Lin Mu let out a loud roar that was difficult to decipher.

"Sakura-senpai, has your video been approved?"

"Not yet, it looks like it'll have to wait until the afternoon."

"Where's Sister Yi? Why don't we go find Sister Yi and play?"

"Wait! I'll call her!"

After exchanging ideas for a while, the two salted fish reached a consensus.

Xu Youyue jumped up from the sofa with a swift movement and immediately made a WeChat video call to Li Huiyan.

"Hey?"

On the phone, Li Huiyan's voice was still a little groggy, probably because she hadn't gotten up yet. The video feed didn't show anyone; instead, it was pointed at the bedroom light.

She broadcast until midnight last night. Considering that it's unlikely she would go to sleep right after the broadcast, it's normal that she hadn't woken up by then.

It's not even 10 o'clock yet.

"Sister Yan!"

Xu Youyue gave a joyful shout.

"Ah... it's Youyue. What's the matter?"

Over there, Sister Yan finally appeared, her face bare and without makeup, still half-asleep. She squinted at the young lady, then tossed the phone back.

Given their relationship, they've seen each other at their ugliest and most beautiful sides, so naturally they don't need to care about such a trivial matter.

"Want to go shopping? Lin Mu-chan is here too."

"Why are you bothering me, this lonely old single dog, instead of going out and being all lovey-dovey with that bastard Xu? Go shopping yourselves, I'm going to sleep. Bye."

"No, no! Let's go shopping! Sister Yan! I'm so bored!"

As mentioned before, what Yan Jie can't stand the most is a cute girl acting cute.

As Yan Jie's longtime best friend, Xu Youyue is naturally an expert in this art. However, after knowing each other for so many years, Yan Jie is almost immune to her coquettishness.

Anyway, nothing good ever comes from this girl acting cute towards me. Either she's in trouble and I need her to go out and have fun, or she's dragging me out to go crazy. After being tricked so many times, Sister Yan has naturally learned her lesson.
