Chapter 132: The Cat Girl at Home is Getting More and More Restless (1/2)

As soon as Shen Cheng picked up Yanyan, he felt a sudden weight in his arms. Looking down, he saw Sugar had silently thrown herself into his embrace as well.

Seeing this, Shen Cheng smiled faintly and said, “Sugar, I’m back.”

“Mm…” After a moment of warmth in Shen Cheng’s arms, Sugar stepped back two paces and nodded to Shen Cheng, saying, “Welcome back, master.”

At the same time, Sugar noticed Little Qi in Shen Cheng’s arms and was slightly stunned, “Sister Number Seven?”

Hearing Sugar’s voice, Little Qi turned her head towards Sugar, her lifeless eyes flickering slightly, and spoke with a somewhat stiff voice, “Thirteen…?”

Sensing Little Qi’s emotional shift, Shen Cheng passed her over to Sugar. Sugar took Little Qi and after a brief exchange of glances, noticed Little Qi’s current appearance. Her smoky-colored cat ears slightly drooped as she said, “I’m no longer Number Thirteen. I’m called Sugar now.”

Little Qi remained silent for a moment before nodding stiffly, “My name… is Little Qi…”

“Mm…”

Shen Cheng walked forward and gently patted Sugar’s soft, misty-colored hair, comforting her, “Little Qi will get better over time.”

“When Sister Number Seven—Little Qi and I met for the first time, she wasn’t like this. Back then, she always smiled and comforted us, constantly lifting our spirits. She firmly believed that someone would eventually come to rescue us, giving me the hope to persevere…”

Sugar looked at Little Qi with a bit of sadness, but Little Qi merely tilted her head, showing no reaction to Sugar’s words, as if she had already forgotten everything Sugar had mentioned.

“Alright, let’s eat now.” Noticing the mood was turning a bit somber, Shen Cheng clapped his hands and spoke.

As soon as his words fell, Shen Cheng suddenly smelled something burnt and wrinkled his nose in confusion, “What’s burning?”

Hearing this, Milk Tea froze slightly and sniffed the air as well, then suddenly exclaimed, “Ah! The food in the kitchen!”

After saying that, Milk Tea ran to the kitchen like the wind, only to return a moment later with a mournful expression, poking her head out to look at Shen Cheng, “Master, the food is burnt…”

Smiling faintly, Shen Cheng gently put Yanyan down and walked over to Milk Tea, rubbing her head softly, “It’s alright. I’ll cook. You’ve been working hard these days.”

“Mm.” Milk Tea blushed, lowered her head, then quickly raised it again, looking at Shen Cheng, “I’ll help you, master.”

“Alright.”

At this moment, Liu Su also stepped forward and said, “I’ll help too.”

Shen Cheng glanced at Liu Su and recalled the meals she had cooked back at their hometown. Smiling, he nodded without refusal, “Alright.”

…

When Shen Cheng led Milk Tea and Liu Su out of the kitchen, carrying the dishes, Ximing and Lingxue were already playfully messing around with the other girls at the dining table, looking like they were getting along well. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After placing the fragrant dishes on the table, Shen Cheng found his seat and just as he sat down, Little Qi quickly ran over and sat on his lap.

Looking at Little Qi, who still had a blank expression and stiff demeanor, Shen Cheng smiled faintly and patted her head, “You haven’t had my cooking yet, have you? I’m quite confident in my culinary skills.”
