Chapter 68: Milk Tea’s Confession (2/2)

Lin Yuhui, even after witnessing the events of last night, couldn’t bring herself to resent Milk Tea—she hadn’t even held any hostility toward Sugar. Instead, she admired Milk Tea. Despite her extreme shyness and timidity, Milk Tea had mustered the courage to kiss and boldly confess.

Though Lin Yuhui had said some ambiguous, half-confession-like words to Shen Cheng, and even secretly kissed his cheek while he slept, she had never hit such a fierce “serve” like Milk Tea did.

Moreover, Lin Yuhui had known Shen Cheng much longer than Milk Tea.

If she had acted like Milk Tea back then, she might have already had a child with him!

Thinking about this, Lin Yuhui puffed up her cheeks slightly.

“Be yourself and let things happen naturally. Huihui will always be Huihui, and…” Shen Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled lightly, “You’re definitely braver than you think; you just lack confidence.”

“Pfft!” Lin Yuhui couldn’t help but laugh, “You always say things that are hard to understand.”

“Master, good morning~” Cheese crawled out of the tent, groggily greeting, “Sister Huihui, good morning too~”

Lin Yuhui glanced to the side. Of the three cat girls at home, only Cheese, the first one Shen Cheng had picked up and the one who clung to him the most, hadn’t shown any romantic interest in him.

…Well, you couldn’t really say that. For example, no one would have imagined that timid Milk Tea could be so bold if they hadn’t seen what happened last night.

“Good morning, Master,” Sugar also crawled out of the tent, followed by Milk Tea, who came out from the same tent as Cheese: “Good morning, Master!”

“Good morning, Sister Huihui.”

Milk Tea was noticeably more energetic than before. She only blushed slightly when facing Shen Cheng, and there was nothing else unusual about her, as if nothing had happened last night.

However, except for Cheese, everyone present knew the truth…

Seeing Milk Tea behaving normally, Shen Cheng felt relieved. As long as she didn’t crawl into his bed like Sugar every day, it was fine.

Standing up and dusting off his hands, Shen Cheng said, “Since everyone’s awake, let’s pack up and head back. Remember to gather all the trash into one plastic bag.”

“Okay!” the girls replied cheerfully in unison.

…

Though he hadn’t slept all night, Shen Cheng was still full of energy, so there were no issues with fatigue as they headed back.

When passing by the market, Shen Cheng specifically bought some rabbit food for Xue’er—it seemed that raising rabbits was popular here, as it was easy to find in any pet shop.

Upon returning to the inn, they immediately saw Lin Zhensheng sitting contentedly on a chair, his face glowing with satisfaction, with a pile of fishing gear at his feet.

Holding Xue’er, Lin Yuhui’s mouth twitched slightly: “Grandpa, what’s this…?”

“Haha!” Lin Zhensheng laughed twice and said, “I went fishing at the Old Dock where Little Cheng had been these past few days. I caught several big fish last night. We’re having fish for dinner!”

“Caught several big fish? At the Old Dock?” Hearing this, Shen Cheng frowned.

Shen Cheng knew there were plenty of big fish at the Old Dock, but that area was also fiercely guarded by a mermaid with a strong sense of territory. Anyone who tried fishing there usually found that all the fish were driven away silently by her, leaving them with nothing, and they never returned.

Lin Zhensheng hadn’t gone fishing in a long time since he had always come back empty-handed at that Old Dock. Yet now… he caught several big fish?

Had the mermaid changed her ways and no longer minded people competing with her for food? Or…

Grabbing his fishing gear, Shen Cheng quickly said, “I’m heading out!” and dashed out.

“Hey, senior!” Lin Yuhui called after him, but Lin Zhensheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry about him. That kid is probably jealous that I caught so many fish!”

Lin Yuhui: “…”
