Chapter 9: Why Was a Cat Afraid of the Dark? (1/2)

The sound of rustling woke Shen Cheng, who had been sleeping lightly on the sofa.

“That’s heavy…” Shen Cheng felt a weight on him as he woke up, making it difficult to breathe.

As he opened his eyes to see what was on him, he noticed a furry little bundle emerge from the blanket covering him.

As it raised its head, its emerald eyes met Shen Cheng’s gaze.

Because Lin Yuhui had given Sugar loose pajamas, Sugar, lying on Shen Cheng’s chest, looked at him, her chest expanding with a large area of fair complexion.

The time was still deep in the night, with only the faint moonlight shining in.

Shen Cheng was stunned: “What… what are you doing?”

“Afraid of the dark,” Sugar said coolly and extended her neck to sniff at the side of Shen Cheng’s neck: “Master, you smell nice.”

The lingering scent of the shower gel and shampoo from the girl on Shen Cheng’s body and her natural grassy fragrance made Shen Cheng’s mind daze.

I don’t know if I smell nice, but I could definitely smell the fragrance from you!

Gently raising Sugar’s head, Shen Cheng asked with a slightly tired voice: “Sugar, what are you doing this late?”

A cat afraid of the dark? Even a ghost wouldn’t believe such a thing!

Sugar blinked and slowly rose, shifting from lying on Shen Cheng’s chest to sitting astride him. Suddenly, she asked: “What does Master think of Cheese and me?”

“Mostly fondness and surprise, I guess.” Due to the fatigue from the day, Shen Cheng didn’t react much to this intimate scene. He felt more like his brain was numb, answering the question almost without thinking.

“Then what does Master think is the meaning of our creation?”

After some thought, Shen Cheng half-jokingly said: “Maybe the meaning of your existence is to live together with us?”

“To live together…” Sugar murmured a few times, a blush briefly appearing on her delicate face, though it was not clear due to the dim light.

He only felt his eyelids growing heavier and said helplessly: “If there’s nothing else, go to sleep. I’m too tired and have to get up early. Good night…”

With her face flushed, Sugar turned her head slightly, her cat ears twitching a bit, and her voice remained cool: “Afraid of the dark.”

Shen Cheng: “…”

Were you not joking when you said you were afraid of the dark? Why on earth would a cat be afraid of the dark?!

Seeing Shen Cheng’s gaze becoming increasingly strange, Sugar seemed a little shy, squirming uneasily.

The remaining summer heat lingered, and both Shen Cheng and Sugar wore only thin pajamas, making them acutely aware of each other’s body warmth when pressed together.

Sugar’s slight movement… had an obvious effect.

Seeing Shen Cheng’s face darken instantly, he sat upright, used his hands to lift Sugar by the armpits, placing her on the other end of the sofa, and then gave her a deadpan look.

Sugar sat obediently, tilting her head to look at Shen Cheng.

“…Why don’t you go find Huihui?”

“Scary,” Sugar replied expressionlessly.

Well, Shen Cheng did not deny that.

As for Cheese, there was no need to ask. The excitement hadn’t worn off before bedtime, and if she were to sleep with Sugar tonight, the two cats probably wouldn’t sleep at all.

With that thought, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Just as he felt that the strange sensation on his body had mostly subsided, he got up helplessly and said: “Let’s go to the room.”

Sugar was taken aback, looked at Shen Cheng’s expression, then looked down… her face gradually turning red.
