At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

The feel seems a bit different from before.

It's important to know that Bai Chu is petite, not particularly well-proportioned.

After all, she follows the yandere cat route, emphasizing a three-no's (no emotions, no feelings, no attitude) persona.

But tonight, the kitten lying next to me felt not only softer, but its skin also seemed more tense, as if its whole body was on edge...

In particular, her size seemed to be two sizes larger than Bai Chu's, second only to Gu Zhi's.

"Something's not right. Something's not right."

Su Che hadn't been drinking, so even though he was very sleepy, he could still sense the unusual behavior.

He pulled his hand away, intending to turn on the bedside lamp.

But the next moment, the girl beside him spoke—

"Senior... if it's possible, could... could you please not use that?"

Su Che: "???"

Hearing that it was clearly not Bai Chu's accent, he suddenly perked up, mistakenly thinking that he was hallucinating.

"No, you...who are you...Ling Yao?"

"Ah...! That's great, senior, you still remember my name."

In the darkness, the girl rolled over and snuggled against someone's chest like a rabbit, clinging tightly to his body and refusing to let go.

"?! How did you get into my house? And you've never been here before! Who brought you in? No... what's going on here..."

Su Che was completely bewildered. So much had happened today that his mind was a bit muddled, but he was certain that nothing as outrageous as this had ever occurred in recent months.

She hadn't gone into the wrong room, but the person lying in the bed had been replaced, a classic case of "a cat swapping a schoolgirl," or in short, a cat stealing fish.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask too many questions and trying to figure out too many things to count.

However, Ling Yao didn't seem to intend to answer all his questions. Instead, she tightened her grip on him to the maximum and whispered shyly:

"Since you're already lying down, senior, it's fate. Why don't you get some sleep first?"

……

……

Chapter 275 Apprentice Maid? No, a Shota Connoisseur!

What is it like to enjoy the night with Ling Yao?

Su Che didn't know how to say it, nor did he dare to comment too much. He just felt that the tenderness of this night made him dream back to a few months ago, to the beautiful night when he first cuddled his cat An Qing to sleep. It was a night full of youthful innocence and youthful charm, and it brought back a lot of memories.

In his eyes, Ling Yao was the kind of person who was very reserved. Although he suppressed his emotions, he would not release them all and would leave some room for maneuver.

Sleeping with her doesn't require tea, and she won't ask for anything. She'll just try things out while asking questions like, "What should I do next?", "Is this how it is?", and "I have no experience, please don't laugh at me, senior."

Such interaction gives Su Che a strange sense of pity, as if he is holding a stubborn kitten in his arms who is curious about the unknown and wants to experience excitement.

When asked where Bai Chu went and why she made such a big concession, giving up an entire CD, Ling Yao replied, "She just refused to admit defeat."

She wanted to shatter my illusions about her senior, to show me that lying next to someone you admire isn't all that great. But unfortunately, she was wrong.

Did I guess wrong?

"Ah."

"Do you enjoy this feeling...?"

Su Che stroked the new cat's head, inhaling the scent of its hair, which smelled of shower gel, and was somewhat dazed.

"Well, people say that once you've eaten something, it doesn't have the same filter as before, but I don't think so."

Ling Yao's face was serious as she said firmly, "Only by eating something can one determine his taste. For me, I will cherish this hard-won opportunity even more. I can't be like Chuchu, who only has a three-minute attention span for everything. I am not her."

"what…"

Su Che felt a slight stirring in his heart, vaguely realizing that Ling Yao's personality seemed to be somewhat different from other cats.

She seems to be the type who wants to keep eating and delve deeper into the subject.

It's somewhat similar to... "品".

Sure enough, she continued to whisper:

"Your scent is very captivating, but I know you don't have the energy to spend with me, so I won't be greedy. Tonight is a gamble with Chuchu, not something you invited on your own initiative. In the future, I will only come to you if you want me; otherwise, I won't bother you again."

"!"

Su Che was taken aback, never expecting that she was still a little girl who knew how to behave appropriately.

"The truth?" he probed.

"Ok!"

Ling Yao appeared to be holding back, but in reality, her reluctance was written all over her face.

It was already broad daylight, which meant that they would have to leave in a few hours.

Although Bai Chu gave her this opportunity, she wasn't stupid. After discovering that Ling Yao not only didn't find it boring but actually enjoyed it, she would definitely take measures to cut off this shortcut and use this method to show that she had it, but others didn't.

When women are so competitive, no one will suffer an obvious loss.

Su Che pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, have any strange things happened in your studio lately?"

"anecdote?"

"Yes, about your master, and about Miya."

"!"

Ling Yao's face hardened as she began to ponder.

She knew perfectly well that there seemed to be a high wall between her senior and her master that would be destroyed sooner or later.

The senior disliked the master, but the master never mentioned the senior.

The relationship between the two is very delicate; he is caught in the middle, theoretically in a neutral position.

However, if I had to say something... after last night, I'm now one of their people, so even if I become a traitor, it doesn't really matter.

Between "learning unparalleled zither skills from Master" and "becoming a pet in Senior's house and receiving regular care," Ling Yao chose the latter without hesitation, taking less than 1 second in total.

After all, the former's goal, once achieved, is ultimately to achieve the latter.

Realizing that this might be a chance for him to show off, Ling Yao immediately seized the opportunity and explained in great detail:

"My master has been busy writing in his studio lately, or receiving guests and recording albums. The few times he's gone out, it's all been to the hospital for follow-up checkups. As for other things, there's nothing to worry about."

"Write something?" Su Che frowned.

"Yes, I've seen him several times, writing and drawing in his study, and typing text on his workstation. But all his hard drives are encrypted, and I can't crack them yet..."

The girl was a little nervous, afraid that her senior would be unhappy.

Fortunately, Su Che wasn't interested in the man's hard drive. He simply nodded and said, "I understand. You mentioned he goes to the hospital frequently. Have you observed anything specifically about his health that's bothering him?"

"As for physical health..."

"Yes. Tell me everything you see."

Su Che tightened his grip on the girl's body, but did not rush to get up and leave.

This made Ling Yao feel that she still had some "usefulness," and she quickly thought about how to answer the question.

"Actually, I don't know much about Master's illness. From my observation, his words and actions are no different from those of a normal person. As for his habits, he always disappears at night and never stays overnight in the studio. No matter how busy he is or how much work he has not finished, he will leave it for the next day. So overwork should not be related to him."

Is that so?

Su Che seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hmm! And then, I also asked my senior sister about this, since she's been learning the zither from Master for a longer time. She said that Master would occasionally suddenly rub his right temple, and then immediately go back to his room to get medicine. I haven't witnessed this myself, but it sounds like a migraine-like condition?"

"Oh……"

Su Che nodded, having a general understanding. "Your head hurts, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's the kind of dizziness where the world spins, your face suddenly turns pale, and you can't do anything but lie down and take medicine immediately."

"That must be excruciating pain."

Su Che pondered that if his father's physical condition was like this, and even slight fatigue would trigger an attack, then he was indeed not suitable for doing high-pressure work.

No wonder Grandpa didn't think highly of him.

[If I take over the job and then suddenly die while working, it's a very difficult situation to handle.]

Overwhelmed with filial piety, Su Che grinned, unable to hide his smile:

"Very good. It seems he does have quite a few weaknesses. This makes things much easier."

"...Senior, do you hate him that much?"

"Is that even a question?"

"May I ask why you dislike Master?"

Ling Yao was very curious, but she never dared to ask.

I only felt a little more confident after we slept together today.

"You need to be completely naked when asking questions to create the best atmosphere," this is something mentioned in the guide.

"There's no reason, I just hate it. I hate irresponsible men."

"Irresponsible..."

The girl pondered for a moment, then her eyes darted around before she asked, "Does that mean you're a man who 'will absolutely take responsibility,' right?"

"!?"

【not good.】

The girl caught him red-handed.

Su Che was startled and wanted to take back his words, but it was too late—

"Is he a good man who takes responsibility for all matters of principle?"
