Chapter 36: This Genetic Agent Has a Big Problem (2/2)

“Squid balls, which are basically cuttlefish balls,” Shen Cheng answered with a smile, remembering clearly the way Cheese had drooled over them while watching TV from the couch.

As expected, Cheese’s eyes lit up at the mention: “Squid nya!”

“If you like it, eat more,” Shen Cheng said as he quickly tossed all the remaining ingredients into the pot.

Wen Yuanyuan watched the scene with a constant smile on her lips. Over time, she had begun to suspect that these two cat-eared waitress girls were not actually human, yet she no longer found it surprising that they called Shen Cheng ‘Master.’

Even though she guessed, Wen Yuanyuan never thought to expose it, or rather she saw no need to, as Shen Cheng and the others never intended to hide anything from her; she just never asked.

This was part of why she liked this place.

Lin Yuhui picked up a large piece of beef, dipped it in a bowl of sauce, and stuffed it into her mouth, satisfied as she gently rocked back and forth in her chair.

“Huihui seems to really like hot pot,” Wen Yuanyuan murmured softly.

Shen Cheng nodded: “Huihui really enjoys the feeling of everyone eating hot pot together.”

— Because it reminded her of the days spent with her parents in the past.

Silently, Shen Cheng added in his heart as he fished out a piece of lamb from the hot pot.

At that moment, Shen Cheng suddenly felt the tail that was brushing against his thigh become stiff and poke straight into his leg.

Puzzled, Shen Cheng turned to look at Sugar beside him.

He saw Sugar’s cheeks flushed, eyes filled with tears, and her face slightly puffed as she struggled to chew.

Shen Cheng sweated.

He had forgotten that Sugar had a cat’s tongue!

With effort, Sugar swallowed the food in her mouth, sticking out her little pink tongue as she tearfully looked at Shen Cheng.

Hey, hey, why did it look like he had done something weird?!

Helpless, Shen Cheng had to give Sugar an extra empty plate to cool her food.

Cheese happily stuffed her hesitant squid ball into her mouth, and the next moment, both her cat ears and tail stood up in delight: “Tasty nya!”

“Phew~” Lin Yuhui always had a satisfied smile, as eating hot pot with just Shen Cheng often felt a bit lonely.

As everyone leaned back on their chairs, patting their bellies after finishing the meal, it was almost ten o’clock at night.

“Thanks for the meal.” Wiping her mouth with a napkin, Wen Yuanyuan stood up with a joyful smile and began helping Shen Cheng tidy up the aftermath.

Lin Yuhui took the stack of plates Wen Yuanyuan had just collected and said, “Yuanyuan, don’t you need to hurry back? Cheese, Sugar, and I can handle this, let Senior escort you.”

“Oh? How could I trouble you…” Wen Yuanyuan blushed, waving her hands hurriedly.

Shen Cheng set down the utensils and said with a gentle smile, “It’s fine, it wouldn’t be good for a girl to walk alone at night.”

“Well… Thank you…”

……
Buildings on both sides of the car window moved backward at a steady pace. Sitting in the passenger seat, Wen Yuanyuan watched Shen Cheng humming with a smile while driving, and couldn’t help saying, “Shen Cheng, it seems like there’s always a smile on your face.”

— It made people feel warm.

Gazing forward, Shen Cheng recalled, “Maybe it’s because of my mother’s influence? My personality is largely shaped by her influence.”

“Then your mother must have been a very noble person.” Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan couldn’t help but laugh softly while covering her mouth.

With his mother’s image in mind, Shen Cheng’s expression turned peculiar.

A noble person…?
