Chapter 26: The Origin of Sugar (2/2)

“Oh? If demi-humans started menstruating, it would mean they’ve been demi-humans for a full year. It’s something worth celebrating. Ah, this cake tastes good, I should bring a couple of pieces back.”

…

Time passed unnoticed, and it was already ten o’clock. During that period, they also drew some of Shen Cheng’s blood, claiming it was to prepare for the “surprise” they promised him.

In the end, both sides exchanged contact information, and Shao Silin and Liu Su prepared to leave.

“Boss Shen, we’ll be counting on you in the future,” Shao Silin said, standing in the rainy night, smiling at Shen Cheng, who had come to see them off.

Shen Cheng shrugged: “I’m just an ordinary person, my abilities are limited. Compared to you, I’m far from the level of being able to ‘take care’ of you.”

Shaking his head, Shao Silin replied meaningfully: “You’ll soon have those things…”

Shen Cheng: “?”

Shao Silin said no more, handing Shen Cheng a jet-black phone. The logo on the back of the phone was an owl: “The Bio-Scientific Institute is a closed-off facility. If you want to call me, make sure to use this specialized terminal for our Specialized Agents.”

Shen Cheng took the phone and watched as Shao Silin quickly disappeared through the rain, heading for an inconspicuous black sedan in the corner.

“Is your Sugar a year old already?” Liu Su, who was still standing in place, suddenly asked, making Shen Cheng pause for a moment.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Su looking up at the raindrops falling from the edge of the umbrella in his hand, without looking directly at him, and said, “We couldn’t find any information about how she spent her first year before arriving at your Cat Café. Her origins might be suspicious, so be careful.”

“…” Shen Cheng was silent for a long time, giving no response.

Liu Su said nothing more and quickly followed Shao Silin with steady steps.

As the black sedan disappeared into the distance, Shen Cheng sighed deeply, then turned and walked back to the Cat Café.

At this time, the first floor of the Cat Café was pitch black, leaving Shen Cheng somewhat disoriented.

“Has the power gone out?” Shen Cheng muttered to himself, “That’s strange, the streetlights outside were still on just now.”

Just as Shen Cheng was about to reach for the light switch, there was a “click,” and the entire Cat Café suddenly lit up. Cheese and Sugar, the two cat girls, approached him with a cake in their hands.

“Happy Birthday, Master nya!”

“Happy Birthday, Master.”

Shen Cheng paused for a brief moment, then smiled and rubbed the heads of the two cat girls before turning to Lin Yuhui, who was standing by the light switch: “Were you in the kitchen all day preparing this?”

“The cake was made by Cheese and Sugar together, and Sister Yuanyuan helped too. We wanted her to stay, but she said she had to head somewhere else after work, so she asked me to send her blessings to you,” Lin Yuhui smiled, slightly regretting that Yuanyuan couldn’t stay. “Senior, Happy Birthday!”

Looking at the cake in front of him, which had been carefully prepared by everyone, Shen Cheng’s thoughts momentarily drifted.

According to Shao Silin, today just happened to be the 23rd anniversary of the discovery of demi-humans by Bio-Scientific Institute, and coincidentally, it was also Shen Cheng’s 23rd birthday…

Shaking his head, Shen Cheng was about to speak when suddenly, the entire Cat Café plunged into darkness again. In the dim light, all he could see were the glowing eyes of Cheese and Sugar, blinking cutely.

Lin Yuhui pressed the light switch twice, but nothing happened. Helplessly, she said, “Senior, it seems the power really has gone out this time.”
