The pale-skinned, delicate-featured boy was like a big cat, clinging to the side of the mistress who kindly asked him to come in to hide from the rain. For a while, he said that he had been wandering on the streets for three or four days without a single hot meal, and then he said that he had caught a cold, and his head probably got wet, so that he couldn't remember the way home.
All in all, what he meant seemed to be to stay with the mistress and not intend to leave.
The cats in the house thought he was unfamiliar, but there was an indescribable familiarity in his behavior, and they all gathered around him, sniffing and meowing and discussing, in the eyes of humans who don't understand meowing, seeing Get up, as if they have begun to accept teenagers.
The dining table in the living room was filled with steaming, freshly cooked delicacies.
The hostess cat and the teenager sit around the dining table like a complete big family.
When Qi Zheng hurried over from the company, he saw such a warm scene.
So, the half foot that stepped into the villa paused for half a second.
There was a sly smile in the boy's eyes: "Sister, this big brother's eyes are a bit fierce, does he not like me?"
Wen Xin smiled naturally, and played with the boy on the same stage: "This big brother is born with fierce eyes."
"Then big brother won't drive me away, right?" The young man pouted aggrievedly, his eyes were pitiful, as if there were tears streaming down his face, even a hard-hearted heart would inevitably be moved.
Wen Xin resisted the urge to laugh, and looked up at Qi Zheng.
Qi Zheng silently put on a pair of disposable slippers, and then said calmly, "I'll just send you back, Associate Researcher Lin."
Lin An's status at Conwest University is very special. He only claims that he is a graduate student, and only those inside the laboratory know that his title in the laboratory is an associate researcher.
When Qi Zheng spoke like this, it was tantamount to announcing that he had already investigated Lin An's details.
But Lin An is not an ordinary person after all, so how could he panic because of a mere title.
He didn't even take this sentence to heart at all.
He knew very well that in this family, the only person who really had the veto power over his whereabouts was Wen Xin. As long as Wen Xin doesn't drive him away, Qi Zheng will do nothing to him.
Lin An opened his innocent eyes like a deer, and turned around: "I don't even understand what you said."
As he spoke, Lin An pinched the corner of Wen Xin's sleeve, and timidly hid behind Wen Xin.
Although he is fourteen years old, but for some special reason, he is very short, standing behind Wen Xin, he really looks like a child, innocent and innocent.
But as long as he thinks that the date between the two that he arranged with great difficulty has been spoiled like this, Qi Zheng's chest feels a little stuffy.
Not to mention, when Lin An did this series of tricks, Wen Xin didn't refuse at all.
Qi Zheng's complexion was not very good at that time.
However, he usually has an iceberg face, so no one notices when his face turns dark.

Seeing the undercurrent of two people (cats?), one big and one small, Wen Xin worried about Qi Zheng's mood, but at the same time had to think about how to deal with Xiaoju. eat first.
She had prepared the dishes for almost two hours, it would be a pity if they were allowed to cool down.
"I don't know what kind of cuisine you like to eat, Boss Qi, so I made a mess, a little messy." Leading him to the dinner table, Wen Xin introduced with embarrassment.
Qi Zheng looked at the dining table, and arranged five dishes from left to right, all of which were of different cuisine styles.
The homemade mapo tofu on the far left, he remembers, is one of Wen Xin's favorite Sichuan dishes, and he must order it every time he eats a box lunch with the crew; the second to the right, a plate of crystal clear steamed shrimp dumplings, should be a semi-finished product in the refrigerator Direct heating, through the thin transparent skin, the cooked red shrimp is clearly visible.
Next to the shrimp dumplings, the puppet cat has been stretching its paws eagerly to try it, but unfortunately her claws are still a bit short, otherwise the plate of shrimp dumplings might not be able to wait for Qi Zheng to arrive.
Qi Zheng is more familiar with the food on the right, which is Western French fried foie gras.
Among Wen Xin's food reserves, this should belong to the top batch.
It's not that Wen Xin is reluctant to give it to cats, it's just that it's been too long since she bought it, so she completely forgot about it.
She took the initiative to invite Qi Zheng to come over today, and she didn't know where she came from.
It can be seen that Wen Xin is not unconfident in her craftsmanship, but just not sure what Qi Zheng likes, so she simply mixes Chinese and Western food.
Even if Qi Zheng is picky, he can still find some tasty dishes in it.
More importantly, in this way, she can judge Qi Zheng's taste through his choice this time.
How can such careful thinking be hidden from Qi Zheng.
Qi Zheng looked at the table full of dishes, and thought of the scene when he was busy in the kitchen with Wen Xin when he was a cat. He knew that these things seemed simple, but in fact, Wen Xin had to spend a lot of effort. Even, sometimes she accidentally cut her finger...
**
Qi Zheng didn't take his seat, which made Wen Xin somewhat uneasy.
She began to wonder, is it because these dishes are too unsuitable for the table
Although there are ingredients such as foie gras as supplementary ingredients, it is true that most of the ingredients are very common ingredients in the market. For Qi Zheng who is used to Michelin molecular cuisine of mountain and sea delicacies, it is not eye-catching.
But Zai Zai obviously had a good time eating it
Wen Xin was puzzled, and was about to ask, when Qi Zheng suddenly took out his phone.
Wen Xin was taken aback: "Boss Qi has work to do?"
Qi Zheng replied while typing: "I asked my assistant to find you a part-time chef. They didn't think of such an important matter earlier."
Wen Xin: "Huh?"
Well done, why did you suddenly think of looking for a chef
Qi Zheng gave orders quickly, then looked at Wen Xin seriously, and sincerely apologized:
"Sorry, I reacted too late."
"Boss Qi..." Wen Xin blinked innocently.
She really didn't expect this one.
The salary was not high before, and the cats had to be provided with the best ingredients and toys, so Wen Xin has always adhered to the principle of making enough food and clothing by himself.
Fortunately, she really doesn't hate cooking very much, and she is very skilled in the whole process.
but…
It's always fun to be pampered, isn't it
Moreover, I don't know if it's her illusion, why Zai Zai is getting better and better, she originally laughed at him for falling in love with elementary school students, but unconsciously, she seemed to be so lost, feeling like being poked.
At this time—
Someone said in a bad manner: "Sister, sister, do you want to hire me? I can cook, wash dishes, and sweep the floor."
Qi Zheng: "I don't employ child labor..."
Lin An sat cross-legged on the chair, picked up Little Milk Tea, the simplest and dullest of the three cats, and stroked the cat, his innocent deer eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of fox-like cunning.
Wen Xin was stunned, this child must have grown into a young man long ago!
Although I don't know what Xiaoju insisted on coming here to join in the fun, Wen Xin felt that with my IQ, my every move was under Xiaoju's eyes, and the secret might not be hidden for long.
Wen Xin resolutely resolutely said: "Little brother, this brother knows where your home is, why don't you wait a while after dinner and ask him to help you back home?"
"But, my family doesn't seem to want me anymore."
Lin An didn't shake his head or nod, but continued to look pitifully at Wen Xin with his innocent deer eyes.
Even though he knew that these were all pretended by him.
He himself is not pitiful at all, and he has no amnesia at all, but, but...
Wen Xin's resistance was defeated.
For the first time, she discovered that apart from the cat, she had nothing to do with this poor little lady.
Wen Xin could only look at Qi Zheng for help, hoping that Qi Zheng could come up with a good idea.
Don't you two have a good relationship? I think Xiaoju respects you quite a bit.
However, what Wen Xin never expected was that Qi Zheng met her begging gaze, but not the channel of her brain circuit. Qi Zheng thought Wen Xin meant: What should I do, this child is really pitiful, can I keep him
... Qi Zheng's mentality collapsed again.
He naturally knew what the purpose of Lin An's return was.
To be honest, if he was in the past, he would understand, after all, everyone is for the same goal.
If Lin An could really find out some secrets, he thought that with Lin An's IQ and judgment, he would never hide anything. But the problem is... If the cat is in good condition, even if it is an eyesore, for example, the leopard cat will crawl into Wen Xin's arms from time to time, looking like it needs a beating.
But humanoid? ?
Qi Zheng found that his mind was indeed not as broad as he imagined.
**
Under Lin An's stalking, he finally obtained a one-week residency.
Wen Xin didn't know how she agreed, she just knew that she was muddleheaded, and was drawn into the circle by Lin An's logic. By the time she realized it, Lin An had already moved into Xiaoju's room!
Qi Zheng didn't stop him!
And according to Qi Zheng who restored the scene to her later, she couldn't bear it all the time.
Wen Xin: "..."
Who am I What am I doing Where am I going?
With such a child with a high IQ watching at him all the time, Wen Xin felt that the little vest she had covered for a hundred chapters might soon fall off.
However, Wen Xin didn't care too much about whether the vest could be removed.
After all, is she really being nice to the cats, or is she just trying to take advantage of them? They all have the eyes to see and the ability to think to judge. Wen Xin has a clear conscience.
So she didn't take Xiaoju's existence seriously afterwards, and besides, in Wen Xin's heart, Xiaoju was indeed still a child, and a child with a particularly rough fate.
If he can find even a little warmth around him, that's what Wen Xin would like to see.
Wen Xin didn't expect that Lin An's appearance would bring another strange phenomenon.
Cubs who have always been strong and strong in combat, after Lin An's miserable performances took away Wen Xin's attention several times, he was caught off guard and became "ill"...
