Yu Ning stepped out the door and quickly walked through the corridor, stopping at a certain spot.

There were display shelves on both sides of the corridor, filled with antiques.

Yu Ning reached behind one of the shelves and pulled out a small bamboo basket from the edge.

She had noticed it as she passed by, feeling it was out of place.

It turned out to be a basket for holding snakes.

The snake hadn’t come in from outside; someone had deliberately put it there.

Who could it be?

Yu Ning looked at the display shelves, pondering for a moment, and came to a conclusion.

Fifteen minutes later, Jia Qingqing’s door was knocked on.

“Who is it?” Jia Qingqing, with a facial mask on, opened the door.

Seeing Yu Ning, she instinctively tried to close it, but Yu Ning pushed it open with one hand.

“Ah~~~” Jia Qingqing screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Yu Ning twisted her arm behind her back and pinned her against the wall.

“What are you doing?! I’ll tell my mom you’re bullying me!”

“I’m just returning your gift.” Yu Ning, holding her jaw with one hand, stuffed the dead snake into Jia Qingqing’s mouth amidst her screams.

“Ugh!!!” Jia Qingqing’s eyes crossed in fear.

“My patience is limited. Don’t provoke me again. If it happens once more, I won’t give you even a week.” Yu Ning released her grip.

Turning around, she saw the black cat, which had come over silently, sitting quietly and watching the scene.

“So mischievous.” Yu Ning bent down and picked up the black cat.

The soft chest of the girl made the black cat stiffen, struggling to break free, but she held it tighter.

The black cat, with nowhere to escape, had a dazed expression. This wasn’t him being a pervert; she started it first!

Jia Qingqing waited until Yu Ning had gone far before tremblingly pulling the snake out of her mouth, realizing then that it was dead.

“Ah! I’m so pissed off!” Jia Qingqing kicked the door hard.

This country bumpkin!

So arrogant!

The expensive snake she bought was killed by this bumpkin, and she even dared to use it to scare her!

Jia Qingqing took out her phone and sent a video to Mrs. Lin.

“Mom, that country—” Seeing Lin Anbang was also present, her domineering voice instantly softened.

“Mom, Miss Yu, she, she bullied me!”

Lin Anbang was sulking at this moment, having been forced to leave by Yu Ning earlier in the day. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Hearing Jia Qingqing’s complaint, he quickly took the phone and asked.

“What did she do this time?!”

“Uncle Lin, I don’t dare to say. I’m scared! I’m really scared! Miss Yu somehow got a poisonous snake and put it in my room!”

Jia Qingqing aimed the camera at the dead snake on the floor, adding.

“This snake was alive when it was put in here. Luckily, I threw something at it, or I’d be dead.”

“What! How dare she!” Lin Anbang was furious.

“Anbang, calm down. Maybe Miss Yu didn’t do it on purpose.” Mrs. Lin softly persuaded.

“Ruanyuan, you’re too soft-hearted! You must know that leniency doesn’t lead soldiers, and righteousness doesn’t manage finances. This wild girl has no respect for her elders and bullies Qingqing. It’s unforgivable!”

“Uncle Lin, what should I do? Did she put the snake here to kill me? And it’s a poisonous snake. She’s so ruthless.” Jia Qingqing squeezed out a tear.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll come back tomorrow and get justice for you! This venomous-hearted woman absolutely cannot stay by Ah Zheng’s side!”

Lin Anbang hung up the video call, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

If it weren’t too late to go up the mountain, he would have gone back to get justice for Qingqing no matter what.

Tomorrow, he must return and drive away that hateful wild girl. Using a poisonous snake was too malicious, and even Great-Grandma couldn’t protect her!

Yu Ning carried the black cat back to her room, and the phone in the room rang.

It was a landline. Yu Ning hesitated for a moment but answered.

“Hello, it’s me!” Lin Jun’s cheerful voice came through the phone.

“Oh.”

“I heard from Aunt Wu that you’re sleeping in my brother’s room?”

“Mm.”

“Make sure to lock the doors and windows at night. If you hear strange noises in the middle of the night, it’s probably a ghost. Leave my brother and run. He’s tough and not afraid of ghosts.”

The black cat’s eyes narrowed into slits. It had been a while since it last beat up its younger brother, and its hands were getting itchy.

“Got it. How’s everything on your end?” Yu Ning asked.

“Nothing happened. I have good news. I got the part in the audition! I’ll come back tomorrow to treat you to a big meal. Anyway, stay safe!”

Yu Ning wanted to say more, but he hung up. She frowned slightly.

Old Five said nothing happened today, which means something will likely happen tomorrow. She brought up her phone and added Lin Jun on WeChat using the number on the caller ID.

It wasn’t accepted, so she sent it again, reminding Lin Jun in the friend request message to always wear the thunder-struck wood she gave him.

The black cat sat quietly on the bed, watching her do all this.

This girl was decisive when hitting people, but her heart was soft. Her chest was soft too… chest?

The black cat’s eyes glazed over.

Yu Ning took off her jacket.

Although she looked thin, the places where she should have flesh were well-proportioned.

With her sportswear off, she was only wearing underwear, her well-sized chest, slender waist, and long, thin, and straight legs. Her figure was comparable to a model, perfectly fitting Lin Zheng’s aesthetic—

The black cat quickly looked away, spitting mentally. What was he thinking!

Also, why was this girl undressing for no reason?!

Yu Ning picked up a cartoon pajama, ready to take a bath. Seeing the black cat’s lonely back of the head, her heart softened.

She walked straight to the black cat and reached out to stroke its head.

There is a holy land called the back of a cat’s head. No one can escape the charm of this view.

“Do you want to take a bath with me?” Yu Ning thought the kitten was lonely, so she picked it up.

With no clothes in the way, the touch was too real. The black cat, leaning dizzyingly against the soft place, almost nodded for a moment.

But soon, he realized the gravity of the situation.

Together, take a bath?!

Whoosh!

The black cat awkwardly struggled out of her arms, retreating, fur standing on end.

If only he could speak human language, he’d shout, “Don’t come near me!”

“Seems like you don’t want to. I’ll go take a bath then. Be good and don’t run around.”

Yu Ning went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water came from inside.

Too scary. Lin Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, trying hard to erase the image he just saw from his mind.

This girl’s legs were really long.

You couldn’t tell when she wore sweatpants, but once they were off, they were really beautiful.

Although some models had long legs too, they were as thin as skeletons, unlike this girl, who was proportionate and vibrant—wait, what was he thinking?!

Lin Zheng patted his head with his paw. He couldn’t keep thinking about this; the topic was too dangerous.

While Yu Ning was bathing, he jumped back to her phone, trying to swipe the screen with his paw.

He had to quickly crack the screen lock.

Watching those long legs every day, lying on that soft chest… he didn’t want to be a cat for another day.
