Chapter 86: Can You Call Me “Mother”? (2/2)

“Are you leaving already?” Chen Qing looked somewhat reluctant.

Liu Su nodded and said, “The Bio-Scientific Institute has some matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now. Goodbye, Aunt Chen.”

Looking at Liu Su, Chen Qing seemed a bit regretful. After some thought, she whispered to Liu Su, “Little Liu Su, can you call me ‘Mother’?”

“Huh?” Liu Su was slightly stunned, then her face quickly flushed with two bright red spots. She glanced at Shen Cheng, who was still blocked at the door by a group of women, and then at Chen Qing, who had a sincere expression.

“Please…?”

“Uh…” Liu Su lowered her head and softly said, “M-Mother, I’m leaving now…”

“Mm-hmm!” Chen Qing suddenly had a triumphant smile, reaching out to ruffle Liu Su’s hair. “Remember to visit Mother often in the future.”

“I… I understand!” Liu Su, blushing even more, quickly walked towards the Shen Family’s front gate.

As she passed by Shen Cheng, he called out, “Leaving already? Stay for a meal?”

“No… no need!” Yet Liu Su seemed startled, as if her tail had been tugged, and she hurriedly ran towards the gate. Shao Silin followed behind her with a bitter smile, leaving Shen Cheng puzzled.

“Alright!” At this moment, Chen Qing walked out with a smile, clapping her hands. “Stop blocking the entrance. Let Little Cheng inside to rest.”

…

When Shen Die arrived, the family had dinner together, and night had already fallen.

Thinking about Little Gray and the Biological Weapon he encountered during the day, Shen Cheng couldn’t fall asleep, so he put on a coat and stepped out into the moonlight, intending to take a walk and clear his mind.

As soon as he reached the courtyard, Shen Cheng noticed a slender and graceful figure projected on the ground by the moonlight. He was slightly surprised and turned his head to see a grey-blue silhouette sitting on the roof. She hugged her knees, her light yellow eyes gazing at the crescent moon. Bathed in the soft moonlight, she seemed to be smiling, her tail swaying back and forth.

Shen Cheng smiled faintly, lightly pushed off with his legs, and gracefully landed on the roof. He said, “Climbing on rooftops could get your butt spanked, you know.”

“Nya?” Cheese’s swaying motion froze for a moment. She turned her head, saw Shen Cheng smiling, and immediately showed a charming smile. “Master, nya!”

Then she turned her head back, continuing to sway and laugh, “Master climbed onto the roof too, so Master has to get his butt spanked along with Cheese, nya.”

Shen Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle softly. He walked two steps forward, sat next to Cheese, and asked, “Is something on your mind?”

“Yes.” Cheese nodded and smiled again, “But now it’s gone, nya.”

“Solved?”

“Not solved, nya~”

“Heh…” Shen Cheng also started swaying as he looked at the moon. Perhaps it was Cheese’s playful personality that made him so fond of this first cat girl he met.

“Can you tell me what it is? Nya?” Shen Cheng half-jokingly imitated Cheese’s way of speaking.

“Cheese wants something like Sugar and Milk Tea, nya.” Cheese smiled as she replied.

Shen Cheng was slightly puzzled. “What is it?”

Cheese didn’t answer. Instead, she suddenly jumped off the roof.

“Cheese!” Shen Cheng was startled, instinctively leaning over the edge of the roof. The next moment, Cheese’s little head popped up from the eaves, and she gave Shen Cheng a quick, light kiss on the lips.

Touched, then gone in a flash, Cheese’s crescent-shaped eyes twinkled like the moonlight above, reflecting the night sky.

“This is it, nya!”
