Chapter 114: Want to Rub My Tail? (2/2)

Well, if she didn’t want to talk later, I could just let her rest upstairs.

“Shen Cheng, I’ll leave it to you then. By the way…” Ximing paused, then swayed her fox tail in front of her, saying to Shen Cheng, “Don’t you really want to rub it? I’m quite confident in how soft it feels. If you want, you can even bury your face in it and take a sniff. Lingxue often sleeps hugging it, so it might still have her fragrance on it…”

“Wahhh!!” Lingxue’s face flushed again, her eyes almost turning into spirals as she hurriedly pushed Ximing out the door. “Stop talking already! Let’s go quickly!”

…

As Shen Cheng watched Lingxue and Ximing’s figures disappear, he let out a bitter sigh.

Actually… I really did want to rub it just now…

Seeing Shen Cheng looking a bit down and then glancing at her own slender tail, Nana couldn’t help but pout.

It looked like it didn’t feel that great, nowhere near as soft as Ximing’s big tail…

With that, the matter came to a close. Nana continued to lead Shen Cheng, and after walking only a few steps, they finally stopped in front of a door to a lounge tucked in a corner.

Opening the door to the lounge, they saw a relatively small room with nothing but a bed, a desk, and a few chairs. A gray figure was standing with its back to Shen Cheng, seemingly lost in thought as it stared blankly at the wall, not moving at all.

Shen Cheng smiled, about to speak, when the figure sniffed the air, then swiftly turned around to look at Shen Cheng.

“……” Shen Cheng, who had just raised his right hand, froze for a moment before saying, “Long time no see. I heard you have a name now, Xinxin, right? It’s a nice name.”

Xinxin didn’t answer Shen Cheng. Instead, she silently got up, ran a few steps, and threw herself into Shen Cheng’s arms, whispering, “Shen Cheng… I missed you…”

Her voice was still somewhat halting, just as before. Though her tone was cold, Shen Cheng could sense a hint of loneliness and longing in her words.

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you my name before?” Shen Cheng was slightly surprised.

“It was Lingxue… who told me…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle softly, reaching out to rub Xinxin’s head. “Sorry for sending you here without explaining anything.”

Xinxin shook her head and said, “It’s okay… I understand. You sent me here to… protect me.”

“By the way, you were staring at the wall earlier. Were you thinking about something?”

Xinxin shook her head again. “No, I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

Shen Cheng: “…”

This feels like depression or something. No wonder Yu Lan said this kid seems to have some psychological issues.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng said to Xinsheng, “Would you like to come out and take a walk with me at the Bio-Scientific Institute?”

This time, Xinxin nodded without hesitation, agreeing, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”

It was clear she was very dependent on Shen Cheng.
