Chapter 34: Will You… Come With Me? (2/2)
“Hmm… at least for now, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing.”
After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng shrugged. He felt that being more closely connected with Demi-Humans, who generally had the appearance of beautiful girls, was not a bad thing, cough…
Arriving at the hospital room Liu Su had informed him about, Shen Cheng opened the door and immediately saw the gaunt figure lying on the hospital bed.
The Ragdoll cat girl’s eyes were closed, her thin cheeks next to the IV stand made Shen Cheng’s heart tighten.
Walking softly to the Ragdoll cat girl’s bed, Shen Cheng sat down and silently watched her pale face, changed by illness.
He didn’t wake the Ragdoll cat girl or leave; instead, he just sat quietly, letting time pass.
He didn’t know how long he sat there, but Shen Cheng felt his mind wandering.
“I… can I touch your hand?” A weak voice like a dream suddenly pulled Shen Cheng back to reality.
Looking down at the Ragdoll cat girl, who had awakened without him knowing, worried that he hadn’t heard, she spoke again, “I… can I touch your hand?”
Even for such a small request, the Ragdoll cat girl’s tone was filled with hope and pleading, just like that night.
Nodding, Shen Cheng placed his hand over the Ragdoll cat girl’s slender, jade-like hand. The Ragdoll cat girl caught his hand, her fingers gently tracing, as if she wanted to feel every line in his palm.
“It’s warm…” the Ragdoll cat girl said softly, her eyelids drooping slightly.
With a faint smile, Shen Cheng said, “Take your time and recover here.”
The Ragdoll cat girl was not surprised, but there was a trace of unhidden sadness on her face, “So soon… are you leaving?”
Shen Cheng nodded, “I’ll come to pick you up in a week.”
“…Huh?” The Ragdoll cat girl was slightly stunned, thinking she had misheard him, and her grip on his hand instinctively tightened a little.
“I said, I’ll come to pick you up in a week and take you home,” Shen Cheng repeated with a smile, seeing her expression.
The Ragdoll cat girl froze, and after a moment, when she confirmed she hadn’t misheard, tears rolled down her cheeks, soaking the pillow beneath her long hair, “Home?”
“Yes, home.” Releasing her hand, Shen Cheng gently ruffled the Ragdoll cat girl’s hair, feeling its unexpected softness, “Will you… come with me?”
“I will!” Her cat ears twitched twice as the Ragdoll cat girl nodded with tears on her face, smiling broadly.
“Remember to eat well; I want to see a healthy version of you in a week.”
“Okay!”
Seeing that it was time, Shen Cheng softly bid farewell to the Ragdoll cat girl, got up, and headed for the door.
“Master!”
The Ragdoll cat girl’s light call made Shen Cheng turn his head again, “What’s wrong?”
“Name… my name!” It was the first time Shen Cheng saw a smile on the Ragdoll cat girl’s face, and also the first time he saw a sparkle in her eyes, “My name!”
“Your name? Let me think…” Shen Cheng pondered for a moment, then used his notoriously unreliable naming ability, “I’ll call you Milk Tea!”
Liu Su, hurrying down the hallway, staggered.
“Okay!” The Ragdoll cat girl didn’t think much of it, her smile turning her eyes into a cute crescent shape.
