Chapter 76: Cheese’s Strange Behavior (2/2)

After finishing his meal, Shen Wei had just sat down on the sofa when Sugar came over and poured him a cup of tea.

“……” Shen Wei almost burst into tears again.

Shen Cheng also wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head to see Shen Yu sitting behind him, picking his teeth while staring at him.

A red “danger” symbol appeared above Shen Cheng’s head, and without a second thought, he walked out of the room, saying, “I’m going for a walk!”

“Ugh!” Shen Yu’s voice suddenly came from behind, making Shen Cheng sweat as he quickened his pace out the door.

As soon as he stepped outside and breathed in the fresh air, Shen Cheng felt relieved. Turning his head, he saw Cheese crouching in front of the courtyard’s garden, wagging his tail.

Hearing the noise, Cheese turned his head and, upon seeing Shen Cheng, immediately smiled obsequiously and waved, saying, “Master, master, come over here, nya!”

With a slight chuckle, Shen Cheng walked over to Cheese and asked, “What is it?”

“Master, why does it feel like the roses here are brighter than the others, nya?” Cheese tilted his head in confusion as he poked at a blooming rose.

Shen Cheng looked and noticed that it was true. At this time of the season, the roses had mostly started to wither, but only here did the roses remain in full bloom.

Ruffling Cheese’s hair, Shen Cheng thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure either. My mother said it’s because the soil here is special.”

“Oh…” Cheese’s ears twitched before he suddenly smiled and called out, “Master!”

“Hm?” Shen Cheng, always patient with Cheese, the first cat girl he met, responded warmly.

“Do you want to go for a walk together, nya?” Cheese’s eyes squinted into crescent moons as he smiled.

Shen Cheng naturally didn’t refuse and nodded, saying, “Sure.”

…

In the forest near the Shen Family’s residence, Shen Cheng watched as Cheese bounced around happily in front of him, and his heart gradually calmed.

Sunbeams filtered through the gaps in the densely packed leaves, forming countless light spots on the ground covered in fallen leaves. Cheese hopped along, stepping on the light spots one by one. The birds’ clear chirping and Cheese’s light laughter intertwined, echoing in the forest for a long time.

Suddenly, Cheese stopped in her tracks, her ears drooping as she turned to look at Shen Cheng, her smile fading: “Master, nya…”

“What’s wrong?” Noticing Cheese’s sudden change, Shen Cheng quickly walked up to her and asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Upon hearing this, Cheese raised her right hand and placed it over her chest, her voice dropping: “It feels really uncomfortable here, nya.”

Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Had this cat… grown up again?

No way, Huihui might get depressed if that happened.

“Master… you seem to have been spending a lot of time with Sugar and Milk Tea lately, nya…” Cheese looked up at Shen Cheng and mumbled, “It feels like… I’m growing further away from you, nya…”

Had he been neglecting Cheese lately?

Raising his hand, Shen Cheng gently patted Cheese’s head and smiled faintly: “I’m sorry. I’ll spend more time with you from now on, okay?”

After all, no matter what, you were my first cat girl…

“It’s not that, nya.” Cheese shook her head and said, “It just feels like… compared to Sugar and the others, I’m missing something, nya… It feels like… my heart is empty, nya…”

Shen Cheng’s hand, which had been ruffling Cheese’s head, froze slightly.

Cheese lifted her head, looking at Shen Cheng with a layer of confusion clouding her eyes.

“Master… you’ll always stay by Cheese’s side, right, nya?”
