Putting the cup that had fallen on him aside, Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and went to the bathroom to clean himself.
Xia Yu sighed and touched his face. “No wonder it’s called Elegance; combined with my handsome face, the effect is terrifying.”
You Xue soon finished washing. Wearing her pajamas, she walked out of the bathroom and grabbed Xia Yu’s hand.
Her eyes sparkling, the girl said, “What was that? Can you perform it again for me?”
Xia Yu used Elegance once more.
You Xue happily filmed it with her phone.
The living room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
What was originally the elegant skill had turned into something comedic in the hands of Xia Yu and You Xue.
At five o’clock, the two had dinner together. Then Xia Yu headed to Kong Hanyue’s place to learn the guzheng from the elderly Mrs. Liu Ronglan.
The next day, he clicked on one of the slots, hesitated for a moment, and finally selected An Siyao’s slot.
The scenery in front of him changed, and he arrived at An Siyao’s location.
Right now, it was the time when the driver was taking An Siyao to school.
“You’re here,” An Siyao said in his mind.
“Yeah,” Xia Yu replied, stretching lazily.
Compared to being a cat, the human body was much more comfortable.
Taking out his phone, Xia Yu typed out a message.
“Yesterday there was a bit of an accident; I ended up on the wrong planet.”
“I see,” An Siyao’s voice was still gentle.
An Siyao had already gotten used to Xia Yu’s casual lies. She automatically filtered out the second half and only listened to the first part.
This made Xia Yu feel a bit disappointed. Without An Siyao’s reaction, his words were meaningless.
Putting the phone aside, Xia Yu looked outside.
Several hurried students were walking along the road, looking anxious and sweating.
Meanwhile, he was comfortably sitting in a private car.
Taking a can of icy cola from the car fridge and drinking it, Xia Yu experienced simple pleasure.
Wasn’t the joy of a can of icy cola exactly the pleasure of simplicity?
Indeed, the life of the rich was wonderful. He just didn’t know when he would ever get rich himself.
His music skill had already reached level 4, which was sufficient to make it to the finals. There was no need to continue practicing. The remaining gaming time would be used to accumulate game points, which would later be exchanged for experience cards to improve his programming.
He planned to develop a few small mobile apps to earn some money before investing in bigger productions.
He made another mental plan, drank his cola, and then placed the can aside.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from An Tianfeng.
Frowning, Xia Yu didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he first thought about what An Tianfeng might be planning.
By anticipating his intentions, Xia Yu could prepare accordingly. There was a huge difference between being prepared and unprepared.
It was nearly impossible to scare someone who was prepared, but scaring someone who was unprepared was extremely easy.
After thinking for a while and even asking An Siyao, Xia Yu still couldn’t figure it out.
He could only improvise.
He pressed the answer button and remained silent.
On the other side, An Tianfeng was also silent.
An unspoken atmosphere formed between them—one where whoever spoke first would somehow lose.
An Tianfeng couldn’t hold out as long as Xia Yu. He coughed and explained the matter.
“You don’t have any plans for winter break, right?”
“No plans,” Xia Yu replied.
“Then go visit your mother,” An Tianfeng said.
Then he mentioned a few other things before hanging up.
“You often visit your mother during breaks?” Xia Yu typed on his phone.
“No, I’ve never been there before,” An Siyao replied.
In other words, this was an unusual situation. If it was abnormal, there must be an ulterior motive.
Although that Luo Yali was money-oriented and narrow-minded, she still held the moral high ground as a stepmother. If she intended to do something, it might be a bit troublesome.
Well, it was still November now. Winter break was still two months away.
Putting the issue aside for now, Xia Yu continued enjoying An Siyao’s student life.
In the next three days, he spent another two days on that white cat. Finally, he figured out where he was—it was a small city in District Two.
His method of determining the location was quite simple: he would lie in the backyard, observing pedestrians. Since there were quite a few people of non-white ethnicity, it must be District Two.
Besides figuring out this, regarding the two bonuses of telepathy and soothing, he remained clueless.
He licked the blue cat all day but still didn’t gain the soothing skill. He also spent a day pinching paw pads for the shop assistant and visiting children, yet nothing happened.
How exactly was this soothing skill supposed to work?
Forget about telepathy for now—how could even this bonus be so difficult to figure out?
Jumping onto the central flowerbed, Xia Yu lay there sunbathing to ease his frustration.
The cat’s body was naturally suited for sunbathing, feeling warm and very comfortable.
As the sun moved, he also circled along the edge of the flowerbed.
Many people came over to look at the cat, and quite a few showed interest, but Xia Yu completely ignored them.
Buying a cat naturally meant wanting to play with it. No one would want a cat that didn’t listen or get close to them.
Opening his eyes, Xia Yu looked toward the door—another group of people had come to see the cats.
This time, four people arrived together.
A young couple came together, and two burly men came as a pair.
The couple was youthful and lively, while the two men had an intimidating aura.
Both groups were interested in the blue cat.
Without any accidents, this silly cat would find its owner today.
On the surface, the young couple seemed more suitable, but when Xia Yu saw them, he felt a slight dislike. Instead, he sensed warmth from the two burly men.
Both the couple and the two men were talking, but Xia Yu couldn’t understand them.
The couple was saying, “…since they won’t let us keep a cat, we’ll secretly raise one, hiding it in a closet or placing it on the balcony outside…”
The two burly men were saying, “…alright, now it’s time to find a companion for your cat, so you won’t have to worry about your cat feeling lonely when you go out to play…”
The shop assistant preferred to sell the blue cat to the young couple and offer a different blue cat to the two men. Naturally, since the cat had been raised here for a while and had developed some affection, she hoped it would go to a seemingly good home.
Sensing something, Xia Yu approached the blue cat as the young couple drew near. The blue cat was afraid of him, so it froze in place, looking stunned.
The young couple wanted a more lively cat, while the two burly men wanted a more docile one.
In the end, the blue cat was bought by the two burly men.
Feeling satisfied after doing a good deed, Xia Yu continued lying there contentedly.
After finishing the payment, the shop assistant came over and said something to him in rapid-fire English.
Thanks to a few days of basic English review, Xia Yu understood a little.
It seemed like she was saying something like, what would happen if he wasn’t sold soon?
Indeed, this was a pet store, and unsold pets were naturally a headache.
He might even be discounted and given away to an unsuitable buyer.
It was time for Xia Yu to find a suitable owner for himself. He thought.
