Chapter 53: Grandparents (1/2)

In autumn, as the leaves danced in the wind, the last traces of summer vanished, and rainy days became more frequent. The autumn breeze grew colder by the day.

The expansion of the Light Spot Cat Café had begun.

Amidst the wailing of the café’s loyal cat lovers, Shen Cheng shut the café doors, casually driving off with Huihui and three cat girls in tow.

The renovation of the Cat Café was expected to take a while, so Shen Cheng entrusted the cats to Wen Yuanyuan for care. With a rare long holiday, Shen Cheng took the opportunity to visit family, intending to update them about life, and…

As he glanced at the three rowdy cat girls in the back seat through the rearview mirror, Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

Should he tell his family about the demi-humans?

Shen Cheng mused that his family wasn’t easily startled. They would probably accept the news without much fuss—maybe even be happy about gaining three new members?

Lin Yuhui, who had taken some time off, was currently resting comfortably in the passenger seat.

It had been mentioned before that Lin Yuhui’s mother had passed away in an accident when she was very young, and it was her grandfather and grandmother who raised her.

Lin Yuhui’s grandparents ran a hot spring inn in a small county on the outskirts of Lingshi City, which was the first stop on Shen Cheng’s “autumn trip.”

Before they realized it, the car had already reached its destination. Shen Cheng parked, woke Lin Yuhui, and led the group to the front of the large inn. The crisp autumn breeze gently brushed against his face, making Shen Cheng feel refreshed.

“Ding—”

Suddenly, a sharp sound caught Shen Cheng’s attention. He paused and turned around, but there was nothing behind him.

Was he just being too sensitive?

Ever since injecting the dog demi-human genetic agent, Shen Cheng’s hearing had become unusually sharp, but it also made him more prone to being overly cautious.

After all, the killer who had murdered Chang Hong still hadn’t been caught…

Sighing, Shen Cheng looked up. The inn’s old-fashioned sign, which read “Lin Family Hot Spring Inn,” exuded a rustic charm. This inn had once flourished; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been built on such a large scale. But in recent years, business had been declining, and Lin Yuhui’s grandfather had considered selling it multiple times.

“Grandpa! Grandma!” Lin Yuhui shouted excitedly as she ran toward her grandparents, who had been waiting at the inn’s entrance after receiving the news. She still looked a bit sleepy from the car ride.

Cheese and Sugar, who had worked at the Light Spot Cat Café for a while, were not shy and leisurely followed Shen Cheng.

Milk Tea, who hadn’t started working yet, was still a bit timid, clutching Shen Cheng’s sleeve and hiding behind him.

Lin Yuhui’s grandfather, Lin Zhensheng, though his hair was turning white, still had a lively spirit. His face was glowing with health, and joy was written all over his face.

After exchanging a few words with Lin Yuhui, Lin Zhensheng approached Shen Cheng. When he saw the three cat-eared, cat-tailed girls by Shen Cheng’s side, he paused slightly and then asked with a puzzled look, “Little Cheng, who are these young girls?”

Shen Cheng coughed lightly and replied, “They are servers from the Light Spot Cat Café. Since the café is being renovated, they didn’t have anywhere to go, so they came with me and Huihui.”

Well, the elderly needed time to process things. It wouldn’t be wise to say outright, “They are demi-humans, transformed from cats,” as that would surely shock them.

“Hello, Grandpa!” the three cat girls bowed politely to Lin Zhensheng in unison, their voices crisp and sweet.

Since they were both Shen Cheng’s employees and guests at the inn, Lin Zhensheng didn’t ask further questions. However, he gave Shen Cheng a meaningful glance before smiling and saying to the cat girls, “Have fun! Enjoy your holiday!”

For some reason, Shen Cheng felt that Lin Zhensheng’s look had an air of danger.

The three cat girls soon ran over to Lin Yuhui’s grandmother and bowed sweetly, saying, “Hello, Grandma!”
