Chapter 4: Stubbornness in the Bones
"Thank you for your painting, it's very nice!" Naiqiu held the painting in front of her chest, her eyes curved into a line from smiling.
"It's fine if you like it!" Wei Chi touched his hair, "Actually, you're already beautiful just the way you are." His hair had been mussed by him all day, becoming somewhat disheveled, but it seemed to add a few strands of playfulness and casualness, making him even more charming.
Nai's face suddenly turned red and she ran away with the painting in her arms, looking embarrassed.
"Hmph." The cat had a small blade of grass in its mouth and looked very dissatisfied. "Flower idiot."
"It's time to call it a day!" Wei Chi seemed to be in a great mood, completely unaware of the cat's abnormal behavior. He stretched his back and packed up his painting board. By this time, the sun had already hidden behind the mountains, and the dusk was slowly spreading.
The cat put on a hat, stuck its paws in its pockets and ignored him, walking ahead alone.
"You're jealous. Kitty." Yu Chi brought the dishes out of the kitchen and put her face in front of Kitty, saying affirmatively.
"No." The cat-eyed girl replied without blinking. Hmm... Her skin is so good, she looks really beautiful, what am I thinking? She shook her head, picked up the chopsticks and clamped down on some food, "Anyway, there isn't any."
"I see." Wei Chi nodded thoughtfully, "You're not here for that, are you?"
"Which one?" The cat swallowed its food, looking bewildered.
"Hmm... You don't know, it shouldn't be." He casually picked up some food and ate, "Hmm! My skills are getting better and better, this fish is really delicious."
The cat lowered its head and ate a few mouthfuls of food, suddenly realizing the meaning behind his words, and immediately spat out the rice and shouted: "Wei Chi, you big fool! If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
The room shook violently, and Wei Chi was almost unable to withstand it: "Indeed, I shouldn't have made that kind of joke after all."
The cat's mood has improved a lot, if Naoko hadn't appeared again.
Ding dong ding. The doorbell rang, and Wakare opened the door. "It's Naju."
"Really? I just found out we're neighbors, haha." Miao Nian heard her voice and wasn't happy, pretending not to know. He had already seen her many times when taking out the trash downstairs, only a guy like Wei Chi who spends his days either painting or sleeping would be unaware.
"That's truly fate." Yu Chi joked politely.
"Uh... can I come in and sit down?" This time Naiqiu was straightforward, directly flashing into the room.
Meow saw it, put down chopsticks and went back to the room: "I'm full." It's just that I don't like her, don't like girls with weak expressions, speaking in a mosquito-like voice.
Putting on a cute little white rabbit face, who knows what's going on in her mind.
Just like...that person...
Xi Yin has already changed unknowingly, she just doesn't want to admit it. In fact, her betrayal still casts a shadow over her life.
The cat lies on the bed, buries its face in the quilt, and closes its eyes.
"Mei Mei, come out and eat." Nai Jiu walked away, Wei Chi knocked on the door with concern, speaking softly.
It's very quiet inside, no movement at all.
He lowered his eyes, her stubbornness in her bones grew with age and slowly expanded, it seemed to be until puberty. He touched his hair, ready to leave: "I'll heat up the meal for you, come out and eat later."
She turned around. The door suddenly opened.
He turned his head back, saw the cat rubbing its messy hair with a serious look in its shiny black eyes: "I fell asleep. So..."
"It's okay." He squatted down, wanting to pat her head, but found that in just a few short months, she had grown quite a bit taller. However, he still helped her tidy up her hair. "Let's eat, I haven't eaten yet either..."
