I'll give my daughter one more second.

"Are you really okay with going through this trouble?"

"We're colleagues, after all, there's no need to be so formal."

After working for several days, Wu Shen could tell that Qi Hai was the kind of girl who was self-reliant and independent.

No matter how difficult things are for him, he is unwilling to accept financial assistance from others. On the one hand, he doesn't want to trouble others, and on the other hand, it's also a manifestation of his slightly strong sense of self-respect. Therefore, Wu Shen's words were very tactful, starting from the perspective of friendship.

"In that case, I'll leave the task of finding the owner to you, Wu Shen. I'll come back to help as soon as I finish the test." Qi Hai bowed deeply to express her gratitude and apology, her single ponytail swaying behind her head.

"Don't make such a big deal out of it. Maybe I'll have already found the owner of the black cat before you even take the end-of-month assessment for the voice actor class."

On the other hand, Yukino had originally planned to surprise Amane, believing that Amane would definitely like the kitten. After all, Yukino usually had to go to school and couldn't always be with Amane. If she had a pet at home, plus Mai from across the street for company, she wouldn't be too lonely.

Surprisingly, Yuon wasn't too surprised to see Yukino bring back a cat. Instead, she skillfully helped Yukino set up all the cat supplies she had bought, just like a very professional cat owner.

"How come you're so skilled at this?" Yukino asked curiously.

“In the future, Mother, you would always bring back stray cats from outside every now and then. I watched how Mother raised cats, and later I started to help myself, and gradually I became familiar with it.” Yuyin held the little white cat in her arms and gently stroked its chin.

Yuyin's movements were very gentle, and the cat seemed to be enjoying it. It opened its little mouth and meowed, then squinted its eyes and curled up in Yuyin's arms.

“These skills were taught to me by my mother in the past, and now it’s my turn to teach them to you.” Yu Yin suddenly put on a confident expression. “It’s all because you, Mother, are usually too indifferent and give people a cold feeling. That’s why you can’t attract Father’s attention.”

This time, Yukino didn't refute, but instead listened quietly to Amane's story. Because after the disappearance incident happened again last night, in order to comfort the panicked Amane and prevent her from disappearing again, Yukino had already made a promise with Amane that she would listen to her opinions more regarding matters concerning Wu Shen.

"Then what should I do?" Yukino frowned slightly. Having been alone since childhood, she had never thought about how to take the initiative to approach others. Therefore, all her similar actions seemed quite clumsy.

"It's actually very simple. Just let your father see the gentle side that your mother naturally shows when taking care of the cat, and he will surely be immediately captivated by the charm she exudes!"

As Amane spoke, she noticed that Yukino's gaze was gradually focusing on the kitten in her arms, so she held it in both hands and handed it to Yukino.

"Is it really that simple?" Yukino asked, stroking the cat with a puzzled look on her face.

"So Mother doesn't understand people's hearts. But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, Father and all that will be yours to conquer! That's the meaning of my coming to the past!" Yu Yin proudly straightened her back and patted her flat chest.

"So what should I do next?" Yukino was clueless about interpersonal relationships and knew nothing about them, so she simply followed Ayane's instructions.

“When Father returns, you will do this and that…” Yuon whispered in Yukino’s ear, listing out a series of plans.

It was now completely night. Wu Shengang had just returned from working at the supermarket. As he opened the door, he was still thinking about what to cook for Wuyi for dinner. But when he opened the door, he was greeted by a wonderful aroma of food.

"Could it be that Wuyi couldn't wait and ordered takeout herself?"

With a hint of doubt, Wu Shen followed the aroma to the living room and found Mai eating heartily at the table, while Yukino was also in his house for some reason, sitting at the dining table with the white cat she had adopted in her arms.

"Brother, you're back! Yukino-neechan made me lots of delicious food today! Brother, come and eat with me!" Mai waved her little hand, revealing an innocent and cheerful smile.

"Yukino... I'm so sorry to have troubled you these past two days." Wu Shen scratched his head sheepishly. He usually gets home after eight o'clock every day, and if he cooks then, Mai will inevitably go hungry for a while.

"It's nothing, I didn't do it for you. I just felt sorry for your cousin because she has to wait so late to finish her dinner every day," Yukino replied calmly, stroking the white cat's fur.

"That's definitely my problem," Wu Shen said with a helpless smile. Eating late was one issue, but not working and not having money for food was an even bigger problem, so Wu Shen had no choice but to choose between the two.

"Yukino, is there anything else you need to do here?" After a while, seeing Yukino sitting there as steady as a mountain, showing no intention of leaving, Wu Shen couldn't help but ask.

"We just adopted a kitten, and we don't have a name yet. If you could, could you help us think of one?" Yukino held up the kitten. Wu Shen didn't know why, but he always had the illusion of seeing a big cat holding a kitten.

"Isn't it the cat Yukino adopted? Why do I have to name it?"

"You chose the cat, so I think you should name it too. Besides, Yuyin said the name I came up with was weird."

"What name did you give the cat?" Wu Shen was quite curious about what kind of name Yu Yin would find so strange.

Chapter 97 You are my cat servant?

"..." Yukino remained silent, shaking the kitten's right paw with one hand.

"Yukino? What name did you give the cat?"

"Keep it a secret." Yukino's voice was at least 50% colder than usual, carrying a chilling aura. Her eyes seemed to say, "If you ask again, I'll get rid of you."

"Okay." Since he couldn't get any answers no matter how he asked, Wu Shen had no choice but to bury his curiosity in his heart, wondering if he should ask Yu Yin when she was alone later.

"Brother, more than that, Yukino-neechan also asked me for a name for the cat!" Mai, who had just finished preparing dinner, eagerly raised her hand, seemingly trying to attract their attention.

"What name did Wuyi choose?" Wu Shen asked, turning to the question. He thought to himself that he might as well let Wuyi name the kitten for him.

"White Album!"

"Pfft..." Wu Shen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sigh, Mai Shiranui just can't seem to learn anything good. She keeps remembering all sorts of random stuff. Is she really going to go from being a perverted girl to a white-themed scholar?

"This name sounds good, and I was originally going to use it, but I didn't know what the word meant, so I gave up on it for now."

“Your idea is correct. It would be a problem to actually name a cat like that!” Wu Shen quickly stopped Yukino. “I guess the task of naming the cat is best left to me.”

Wu Shen sighed. Was there not a single person with a normal mindset around him?

Stroking his chin, Wu Shen pondered for a while under the gaze of Yukino and Mai, and then came up with his own idea: "How about calling it Snowball? Since we chose this cat because Yukino's name has two 'snow' sounds, let's name it with the same sound. Plus, it's round and chubby, so let's call it Snowball."

With its deep blue eyes, pure white fur, and chubby, fluffy body, it exudes an adorable and ethereal charm.

"And its white fur really does deserve the word 'snow,' doesn't it?" Wu Shen bent down, trying to tease the kitten in Yukino's arms. However, the kitten turned its head away, ignoring Wu Shen.

When Wu Shen reached out his hand, the kitten surprisingly showed its little claws, trying to scratch him. However, because it was being held by Yukino, its movement was restricted, so it didn't succeed.

"Looks like I don't have a natural affinity for cats." Seeing that Snowball was ignoring him, Wu Shen smiled wryly and took a few steps back.

"It's probably because Snowball can sense the ape-like scent on you that it's rejecting you." Yukino's sharp tongue was still sharp, but Wu Shen realized that she seemed to have started calling him "Snowball."

"Now that the name has been chosen, I won't waste any more time here."

Having obtained what she wanted, Yukino didn't linger. She got up, said goodbye to Wu Shen, and immediately left the room. Her expression didn't reveal any major change, but her stiff shoulders gradually relaxed with a sense of relief, as if she had completed a major task. Her steps became much lighter.

"Mission accomplished, meow~"

Walking between the two houses, Yukino stroked the kitten's forehead fur, making a soft, cute sound. It seemed like she was talking to herself, or perhaps talking to the snowball in her arms.

"Mother, were you talking to the cat just now?" Just as Yukino reached the door, Amane opened it a crack and looked up at Yukino with a hint of helplessness.

"You've misunderstood Ayane." Yukino quickly put on a serious expression, but it was obviously too late.

"Mother, you don't need to hide it from me anymore. How could I, as your daughter, not know about this?"

"Is that so?" Yukino lowered her head, shaking the little paws of the snowball in her arms incessantly, as if this could ease her embarrassment and awkwardness.

“I was eavesdropping on your conversation with your father inside the house.”

"I have successfully completed the task assigned by Yuyin."

"It's finished, but it's still a bit of a struggle..." Yu Yin leaned against the door frame, looking somewhat helpless.

She discovered that while her mother excelled in many ways, she was utterly clueless when it came to expressing her emotions. Yuyin began to doubt whether she had made the wrong choice back then; if she had gone to find her father at that time, things might have progressed much faster.

Arriving at school early the next morning, in order to keep his promise to Nanami, Wu Shen asked Lunye and Yingqi about the cat's owner.

"Keep a cat? Unfortunately, I spend all my savings from part-time jobs every time I buy anime Blu-rays, games, and figures. If I were to get another pet, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make ends meet." Aki Tomoya shook his head regretfully.

"My parents are quite strict about pets, I'm sorry," Nishimura Hideki politely declined the adoption offer.

Seeing that none of them had the conditions or the idea of ​​adoption, Wu Shen didn't want to force them, so he turned to ask other classmates.

"Eh? Adopt a cat? But we already have a dog, so it's not convenient to have a kitten. I'm sorry," Yui Yuigahama said somewhat apologetically.

"Want to get a cat? I don't have any plans for that right now, but I'll ask around among my acquaintances to see if anyone's interested." Asking Ye Shan, as always, elicited impeccable, adult-like social politeness.

"Huh? Can you please stop talking to me? It's disgusting."

Yes, Miura cannot speak because his hatred level is full.

"It's rare for the Service Club to actually receive a request. This matter has caused quite a stir in the grade. I've heard about it, and I've even heard that some overly compassionate students are planning to file a joint protest."

"Just so you know, I can help you find a pet owner, but don't let those naive folks make a big fuss. As for keeping a pet, I'd rather not," Hiratsuka Shizuka offered a friendly reminder.

After going through all that trouble, asking everyone he had even remotely contacted, and then going to ask other students he had never spoken to, Wu Shen still hadn't found a single person willing to be his pet.

"I've asked almost everyone I can, so who else can I ask?" Wu Shen pondered, slumped over his desk, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting by the door.

After the last incident, he and Shiyu hadn't spoken much. After all, they had only been discussing their novels, and they were currently waiting for the results of the novel competition. Shiyu was temporarily not writing, so there wasn't much else to talk about.

Come to think of it, when he was asking about adoption, he seemed to have forgotten about Shi Yu? Thinking of this, Wu Shen felt a last glimmer of hope.

Chapter 98 Detective Shi Yu

However, Wu Shen was stumped about how to approach Shi Yu. Going directly to talk to her was definitely out of the question; he was currently in the eye of the storm, and any action he took could be over-interpreted.

If he dares to talk to Shiyu in front of the whole class now, rumors will definitely spread throughout the school tomorrow that he's cheating on his wife with three women at the same time.

They could have contacted each other via text message, but Wu Shen's phone is now broken, so he can't reach her. Looking at Shi Yu in the distance, Wu Shen couldn't help but sigh.

However, just as he was about to give up and try again after school, Shi Yu suddenly turned around and looked in Wu Shen's direction. Their eyes met, and Shi Yu's expression was clearly surprised; she hadn't expected Wu Shen to look in her direction at this moment.

Wu Shen quickly shifted his gaze, observing Shi Yu out of the corner of his eye. However, Shi Yu remained unchanged, still staring at Wu Shen. After a few minutes, Shi Yu suddenly stood up and took small steps towards him.

Faced with Shi Yu's inexplicable actions, Wu Shen seemed at a loss. Unable to stand or walk, Wu Shen could only sit quietly in place, waiting for Shi Yu to arrive.

One or two students in the class noticed the two celebrities in the class interacting, and soon the news spread like wildfire, and within seconds, all the students in the class had their attention focused on it.

"Wu Shen, Mr. Hiratsuka wants to see you and asked me to take you there." Shi Yu's calm and elegant voice drowned out the students' murmurs.
