After Xue Zimu blushed inexplicably, she quickly calmed down again, carefully considering Qi Yan's proposal. After confirming that the other party was not just saying something casually, Xue Zimu couldn't help but said to Qi Yan: "Young Master Qi, do you know that cats will shed hair? And it may be rubbed everywhere on the sofa carpet..." Are you an extreme clean freak? , can stand this
Xue Zimu originally thought that Qi Yan offered to raise a cat, whether the gossip about him was unreliable even about cleanliness, and then saw that the other party frowned after hearing what he said.
Oh, it seems that cleanliness is still reliable.
Xue Zimu thought so, and was ready to accept Qi Yan's change of words, but after a moment of silence, the other party said: "It's okay, someone will clean it."
Xue Zimu froze for a moment, confirmed that the other party still insisted on raising him, and couldn't help being surprised: "You really don't mind? It's unlikely that the cat will not shed even a single hair after cleaning it every day." Linqing lion cat is still a long-haired cat, and the problem of hair shedding more difficult to avoid.
Qi Yan glanced at him, and simply reached out to touch the little guy in Xue Zimu's arms. The little guy didn't dodge, and nestled obediently, Qi Yan smoothly felt the soft hair in contact with the palm, his heart was excited, his eyes brightened a lot, but he still whispered calmly on the surface: "I don't mind."
Xue Zimu didn't expect that he would take the initiative to touch the kitten, and suddenly felt that the other party's cleanliness was not that serious, and he seemed to be kind to the little guy. Xue Zimu pondered for a while, thinking that the Qi family should have a lot of servants. Even if Qi Yan, the young master, can't take care of small animals, as long as Qi Yan doesn't show dislike, he shouldn't care about the people under the pets he brought back. Dare not to do one's best. The kitten is only two months old, and it should be better cared for at Qi's house than in a pet store. And... Although it feels a little awkward, it is really unlikely that he will live alone after he moves out of Xue's house. It is more likely that he will go to Qi's house. Yes, it's not bad to simply adapt in advance.
Having almost decided to agree to Qi Yan, Xue Zimu's only worry is whether the kitten will resist. After all, when Qi Yan's face was dark, most people looked scared, and they didn't know if the kitten would be afraid to run away when he took it home.
Seeing that after Qi Yan touched the little guy's head, it didn't take long for it to rub out of Xue Zimu's arms with a little effort, and stretched out its intact left front paw to grab Qi Yan's hand, Xue Zimu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the little guy is just a little milk cat now, and his bad claws can't hurt Qi Yan, but what if he really doesn't want to go with Qi Yan
However, to Xue Zimu's surprise, the little guy didn't scratch Qi Yan, but patted the back of his hand with a soft pad, as if he was playing, and found that the other party's palm didn't come off his head , and took the initiative to rub his head against the palm of his hand, making a childish "meow" sound with a sense of confusion.
Xue Zimu suddenly felt his heart tremble, and wanted to vent his feeling of being cute, but someone moved faster than him.
Qi Yan directly touched the little guy, then hugged it into his arms before Xue Zimu could react, and then touched it again.
Suddenly Xue Zimu was empty-handed: "..."
Qi Yan was still expressionless as usual, but this time Xue Zimu didn't take much effort to see his soothing brows, bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth, which were not raised but much softer than usual.
At this time, Xue Zimu realized belatedly that the second young master of the Qi family is a cat control
But soon Xue Zimu felt something was wrong. He had never heard of him raising a cat in his previous life, and it seemed that he didn't have a cat now in this life. If you like cats, it's easy to raise one or many cats under Qi Yan's conditions. There should be no reason not to. After all, Qi Yan even offered to take the little guy back to raise him. Obviously, no one in the Qi family should have problems such as allergies to cat fur.
Xue Zimu didn't want to understand. He felt that his friendship with Qi Yan was not much better than that of strangers, and it was not convenient to ask more questions, so he didn't bother. Seeing how Qi Yan quickly found the trick, scratched his chin and ears, and served the kitten comfortably, Xue Zimu's last worry was gone.
It looks like the two of them will get along.
Confirming that he can take the little guy home, Qi Yan's mouth hooked very inconspicuously this time, but he still behaved very reserved overall, nodded and said to Xue Zimu: "I don't have anything the cat needs at home, just give it to me here." Let's buy some." Just by the expression and tone, it is impossible to tell how happy he is.
However, Xue Zimu felt that he had already touched a little bit of Qi Yan's personality, which was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so he didn't miss the moment when he slightly raised the corner of his mouth. Qi Yan's usual performance is extremely calm and mature, but the way his eyes were shining before made him feel much younger all of a sudden. Such an effort to maintain a steady and cheerful appearance made Xue Zimu, who lived to be 28 years old in his previous life, couldn't help but think of the other party as a junior who was much younger than himself, like a teenager who thought he was an adult and deliberately pretended to be mature. Same.
Of course, in fact, Qi Yan's current appearance and real age can't match the boy, but Xue Zimu still can't help but have such an impression of him because of what happened today. So next, Xue Zimu, who considers himself to be in the third year, began to show a tolerant attitude towards children in Qi Yan's various behaviors, including giving the other party the right to choose when choosing the kitten's nest and rice bowl , and proactively pre-empt when paying bills. Although he is actually much poorer than Qi Yan...
Qi Yan didn't realize that Xue Zimu's attitude towards him was a little weird, but he only thought that he was always so polite and polite, and he didn't want to let others suffer, so he had a better impression of him. Of course, Qi Yan insisted on coming by himself after paying the bill in the end. Because the things he picked were a bit too much, far exceeding the necessities.
After shopping, Qi Yan asked Xue Zimu about his next itinerary. After thinking about it, Xue Zimu had nowhere to go, so he said that he was going back to Xue's house. Qi Yan originally wanted to invite Xue Zimu to his house for dinner. After all, Xue Zimu is the owner of the kitten, so it is only natural to go to see the living environment of the kitten. But then he remembered that Bai Xinlan had said that she was going to his place tonight, so he dismissed the idea and sent Xue Zimu back to Xue's house instead.
"I can just take a taxi." Xue's house is far away, and if it takes too long for Qi Yan to go back and forth, Xue Zimu doesn't think it's necessary for him to drop him off.
Seeing this, Qi Yan still didn't talk nonsense, and handed the kitten she had been holding and reluctant to let go to Xue Zimu's hand, then opened the passenger's door for him again, and looked at him silently.
Xue Zimu looked at him for a moment, but in the end he could only voluntarily surrender and sat in again.
The drive this time was much longer than the ten minutes last time, so it would be inappropriate to be silent all the way. Fortunately, now Xue Zimu doesn't have the impression that Qi Yan was too serious before, so he didn't feel too much pressure to bring up some topics. Especially the other party seems to care about the little guy in his arms.
"I have to take it to the hospital for a review in a week. Is Young Master Qi free then?" Xue Zimu mentioned a serious matter.
Qi Yan frowned slightly, his work schedule was full, and he should not be free in a week. And there is also the unreliable representative of MS company, who may have to work overtime to complete some work that was delayed by the other party. In short, the possibility of availability is very small.
"I'll contact you at that time. If I don't have time, I can only take it with you alone." Qi Yan replied.
"Well, good." Listening to the other party's meaning, even if he is free, Xue Zimu is a little relieved, thinking that Qi Yan is really measured and polite, although he likes little guys and seems to want to keep them for himself It looks like it, but I still remember that I am its owner.
So they exchanged contact information.
Afterwards, they talked about cats intermittently, because Qi Yan didn't like to say useless words, so the conversation between the two seemed to be basically Xue Zimu's talking, and Qi Yan responded from time to time. It also shows that Qi Yan has been listening. Coupled with Xue Zimu's tolerant attitude toward his younger generation, both of them were quite happy.
Contrary to the harmonious and happy atmosphere between Qi Yan and Xue Zimu, the Xue family at this time is noisy.
"Why didn't you call me when Xue Zimu left?" Yao Yue asked her daughter annoyed, feeling a little tired, "I told you to be more polite to him, but you didn't listen at all, did you?"
Xue Lin felt aggrieved when she heard the words, and shouted to Yao Yue: "Didn't I go to the concert with him? I paid a high price for the ticket, and it ended up being wasted to him. He ran around in a panic, and you are still blaming him." I am coming?"
Xue Li, who had been silent all this time, hummed heavily at this moment, and said to Xue Lin: "Why didn't you want to see Zi Mu so much that you didn't want to marry Qi Yan? If you were willing to marry me, would I be able to bring him back?"
"...Dad?" She didn't expect her father to say such a thing, and Xue Lin was stunned. How could she marry Qi Yan? Did father really want to let her be tortured by a sadist in exchange for the prosperity of the Xue family
Seeing Xue Lin's bewildered look, Xue Li did not comfort her, but snorted coldly, "Your mother taught you, but you still don't believe it, it's because you were spoiled before."
"Dad!" Being belittled by Xue Li in this way, Xue Lin was mixed with anger and grievance, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and stared at Xue Li and said, "I'm stupid, Xue Zimu is smart? Oh, he caught Qi Yan so he is smarter than me, but It's been a few days, has the Qi family contacted you? Has Qi Yan contacted Xue Zimu? Didn't the Qi family rush to get Qi Yan to get married? Are you crazy? There has been no news for a few days. Are you sure that Xue Zimu was really kidnapped? The one you like? Maybe the Qi family is playing tricks on him! Don’t talk about that bastard Xue Zimu, let’s talk about our Xue family, can the Qi family like it?!"
After Xue Lin finished speaking angrily, Xue Li's expression suddenly turned cold.
