Chapter 123

Even Anbi, who was not sensitive to such things, discovered that the atmosphere was a bit wrong not long after Billy noticed it.

Although she didn't understand what exactly happened, it didn't affect her staring at the big burger on the coffee table.

The atmosphere became increasingly silent, and Nico finally noticed a hint of something unusual.

Nekomiya, who had been noisy all the way, had become inexplicably quiet from the moment she walked through the door.

At the same time, Ye Qingfeng also looked quite wrong.

To be precise, both Ye Qingfeng and Nekomiya were not quite right; from the first moment they looked at each other, it was as if they had been hit by a stasis spell.

"You know each other?" Nico swallowed her saliva and asked uncertainly.

Her sentence instantly broke the current calm, but from the moment they looked at each other, it had actually only been about five seconds.

"Be... benefactor?" Nekomiya looked at Ye Qingfeng in disbelief, seemingly unsure if she would meet him here, and called out tentatively.

"Yo! Nekomiya, long time no see!" Ye Qingfeng was more surprised by Nekomiya's sudden appearance, but he quickly adjusted his mindset, hung a faint smile on his face, and waved at her.

The subsequent development was beyond everyone's expectations.

Only to see Nekomiya kick off abruptly, rushing toward Ye Qingfeng, and in the blink of an eye, she pounced on him, her whole body hanging tightly on him. "

Meow! Familiar scent, so nostalgic!"

Nekomiya's ears drooped weakly, tears welled up in her eyes, she hugged Ye Qingfeng's neck tightly, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"I... I didn't expect you to be here, benefactor!" Nekomiya sniffed hard, her eye sockets red, and shouted with a choked voice.

When she left the Chiya Gang, Nekomiya didn't cry; when she learned the news of Bai Lao's death, she didn't cry either; today, having experienced such a dangerous thing in the Hollow, the strong her still didn't cry.

But seeing Ye Qingfeng, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Nekomiya couldn't help the tears swirling in her eye sockets.

When she pounced into the embrace she longed for, her suppressed emotions erupted inexplicably; she didn't know why, but the tears just couldn't stop falling.

The moment Nekomiya pounced, Ye Qingfeng was ready to catch her.

Feeling her choked breath and slightly trembling body, he silently reached out and gently stroked her back.

Although he didn't know what had happened to Nekomiya, and now wasn't the time to ask, he understood that he had to comfort her properly at this time.

"Wuwu! I have no family! No home!" Nekomiya felt the gentle movement on her back and instantly cried even louder, tears gushing out like a broken dam, quickly wetting Ye Qingfeng's shoulder.

"Alright~ Nekomiya, don't cry!" Ye Qingfeng's voice was like a stream flowing slowly in spring, murmuring past, carrying gentle comfort, flowing into Nekomiya's fragile heart. "You have a home! The Cunning Hare House will be your home from now on; I, Anbi, Nico, and Billy will all be your family!"

"Wuwu! Qingfeng, Qingfeng!" Nekomiya's tear-stained little face rubbed hard against Ye Qingfeng.

After about a minute, Nekomiya's emotions calmed down a little.

Only then did she think that her previous behavior was exposed to everyone, her pretty face blushing slightly, and she buried herself in Ye Qingfeng's arms, asking in a muffled voice: "We will be family forever, right?"

Anbi rarely showed emotion on her face and nodded heavily, "Mm!"

Billy spun around inexplicably, lowered his head, and rested one hand on his forehead, "Of course! The machine oil in my body is boiling with blood!"

"Heh... no wonder you do some strange movements, your brain is fried!" Nico rolled her eyes at the posturing Billy, then covered her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry! From now on, the Cunning Hare House is your home! As long as I have a bite to eat, you'll have a bite of soup!"

"Is mackerel soup okay? I cough if I drink anything else!" Nekomiya's drooping ears instantly stood up, she poked her head out from Ye Qingfeng's arms, and asked Nico seriously.

Nico: "..."

I just said you'd have food to eat if you followed me, and you ask if mackerel is okay? Not a few!

"Don't mind Nico, she doesn't cook anyway; from now on, Nekomiya can eat mackerel every day, I said so!" Ye Qingfeng didn't hide his doting on Nekomiya and said decisively.

This meant that he was the boss of the Cunning Hare House, and Nico's words didn't count.

Nico, of course, understood the meaning of Ye Qingfeng's words, but it wasn't a good occasion to refute, so she silently noted it down and followed his meaning reluctantly: "That's right! If Nekomiya wants to eat mackerel, we have it every day!"

Billy: Boss Nico is too weak!

Anbi: Then do I still have my burgers? Thinking of this, she looked at Nekomiya with a bit more hostility. Qingfeng (the burgers he makes) is mine! No one is allowed to take him (the burgers he makes) away!

Nekomiya felt a chill down her back, her tail standing up abruptly.

Meow! There's killing intent!

"Qingfeng... can I call you that from now on?" Nekomiya's vigilance was thrown to the back of her mind after she pounced on Ye Qingfeng and took a deep breath.

She leaned back abruptly, her eyes meeting Ye Qingfeng's in the air, looking at him seriously, waiting for a promise.

"Of course!" Ye Qingfeng held Nekomiya's smooth back steadily, not moving his gaze away from hers for a second, and promised seriously and solemnly, "Nekomiya, you can trust me unconditionally from now on; I will never leave you!"

"Mm!" Nekomiya nodded heavily, and the next second, she suddenly thought of something, her expression becoming hesitant.

【Ding! Nekomiya's favorability increased 10%】

【Current favorability: 50%】

Ye Qingfeng heard the announcement in his mind, and the next second, following his thought, a screen appeared in front of him.

【Name: Nekomiya】

【Biological sex: Female】

【Race: Cat Thiren】

【Attribute: Physical】

【Mood: Excited (gradually calming down), shy, happy】

A very normal panel... it's just why there's a strange content in the likes, his scent counts too?

As everyone knows, people often ignore their surroundings when they are excited, and Nekomiya is no exception!

After experiencing a series of things, she, who was homeless, joined the Cunning Hare House under Nico's invitation.

But she also didn't forget the figure engraved in her mind, the person who also said the same warm words when she needed help.

Nekomiya intended to find him actively, but after really finding him, she didn't know what to say...
