Chapter 40: Leaving

The two were walking on the road to the Rabbit House. Ye Qingfeng felt it was necessary to explain the situation. After all, it was fine for him to live alone, but now he was someone with an organization and discipline.

Moreover, whether Nekomata could stay was up to Sister Nico. However, he had already thought of a way!

With Sister Nico's greedy personality, she wouldn't let just anyone join the Rabbit House, after all, the current economic situation didn't support paying another salary.

Ye Qingfeng glanced at Nekomata, who was hopping beside him. Although she was very cute, looking at her, she shouldn't have any combat power. Otherwise, why didn't she struggle at the time?

Although he considered himself to have some looks, he couldn't really say she took a liking to him, right?

Forget it... I'll think of a way later...

If it really doesn't work, hiding a beauty in a golden house isn't impossible. Anyway, he still had nearly a million Dennies, so he didn't need to consider money for a long time at the very least.

Speaking of which? Didn't he still have four lottery chances?

"Qingfeng! Qingfeng!"

Nekomata looked at Ye Qingfeng, who was lost in thought beside her. After calling several times without a response, she suddenly opened her mouth wide, revealing two little fangs, and bit his hand.

"Sss—! Nekomata, what are you doing!"

"Who told you to ignore me for so long! Hmph!"

Nekomata snorted softly, turned her head away, and pouted, looking extremely cute.

"My fault, my fault! Nekomata, let me tell you about my family situation."

Nekomata's bulging mouth suddenly deflated. That's right... Qingfeng has his family...

Don't know if Ye Qingfeng's family will accept her, and she still has one thing left to solve...

Ye Qingfeng looked at Nekomata, who had her back to him, thinking she was still pouting because he ignored her.

Can't do anything about Nekomata! Have to use cans to pry her mouth open!

"Here, mackerel can! Forgive me, okay... no... okay—!" Ye Qingfeng was just planning to use mackerel cans to bribe Nekomata, but found...

It's over! No more cans!

Fortunately, heaven never blocks all paths. Just as he looked up, he saw a small supermarket not far away.

"Alright~ I'll go buy you two cans, don't be angry." Ye Qingfeng reached out and patted Nekomata on the head, but his gaze was fixed on the supermarket.

Although what Sister Nico and Anbi said was annoying...

But Sister Nico was also doing it for his own good... Anbi was just purely annoying!

Forget it... consider it me being magnanimous! Seeing them working hard to complete commissions in the Hollow, I'll make them a big meal, which can also be used to bribe Sister Nico.

Speaking of which, if Nekomata joins the Rabbit House, will she likely become a mascot or something, or a lucky cat?

Right! Also have to promise Nekomata a full fish feast. I'll buy two more fish later. Braised fish, steamed fish, boiled fish fillets—don't know which one she prefers?

Consider it welcoming Nekomata to the Rabbit House!

"Nekomata, let's go to the supermarket together, I'll buy you delicious cans!" Seeing her still silent, he thought she was still angry and urged her nicely: "Then you wait here for a while, I still need to buy ingredients for dinner. It might take a while, don't run around, got it?"

"Mm..."

"So obedient!"

Ye Qingfeng reached out and rubbed Nekomata's head, and only then left satisfied.

After waiting for about dozens of seconds, Nekomata slowly turned to look in the direction Ye Qingfeng left. She could vaguely see his blurry back.

She bit her lip and looked forward with a complex gaze. "Sorry... I still have one thing that must be solved..."

"After this matter is over... I will come to find you!"

Even if you don't agree... I'll find a way to stay even if I have to pester you!

Nekomata turned around resolutely with a firm gaze, walking on the road she had just walked once. The scene in front of her was like a constant rewind. She strode past the alley entrance where she met Ye Qingfeng.

Walked into the convenience store not far away.

As soon as she walked into the convenience store, she heard the chatting of two clerks.

Clerk A: "Still more than ten minutes until the shift change, so sleepy!"

Clerk B: "Then shall we swap? You take the day shift from now on?"

Clerk A: "Forget it... who told the night shift to pay more Dennies. By the way! I tell you, a handsome guy came today!"

Clerk B: "They come every day, what's there to be surprised about?"

Clerk A: "This time is different, he's the most handsome one I've seen this month, no, this half-year! Came to the store and bought two mackerel cans, maybe to feed the stray cats nearby!"

Clerk B: "That's quite kind-hearted, do you have a photo? Let me see how handsome he is?"

Clerk A: "No, but the surveillance should have captured it. Ah! Hello! What would you like to buy?"

Clerk A was just about to check the surveillance when she saw a cat Hiren customer standing at the counter.

"Do you have a cloak? The cheapest one..."

"Yes, yes!" The clerk walked out of the counter and quickly picked up a cloak from the shelf. "Here!"

Nekomata quickly paid the Dennies and walked out of the convenience store in silence. Before putting on the cloak and hood at the door, she couldn't help but look at that alley entrance.

An inexplicable feeling rose in her heart. The distance to the next meeting with Ye Qingfeng wouldn't be too far.

Before that, let's solve this matter first!

Don't know how much time passed before she completed the last step of the action and left this place alone. The warm sunlight shone on her lonely back, pulling a long and desolate shadow...

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng walked out of the store carrying two shopping bags, one bag was ingredients for dinner and the other was full of mackerel cans. In order to let Nekomata eat the cans as soon as possible, his pace unconsciously accelerated.

Arriving at the place where he parted with Nekomata, he looked around but never saw her figure.

Where did Nekomata go? Could it be that some bad guy kidnapped her with mackerel?

Ye Qingfeng walked to a nearby newspaper shop, placed the two bags gently on the ground, gestured with his hand to Nekomata's approximate height, and asked the boss: "Excuse me, have you seen a cat Hiren about this tall?"

"There was a cat Hiren this tall here, but she left a while ago." The boss pointed in the direction Ye Qingfeng and Nekomata came from. "She went that way."

"... Is that so, thank you..."

"Young man, had a fight with your girlfriend? Go and apologize to her properly, it's no big deal."

The boss looked at the large bag of mackerel cans on the ground, then looked at the stunned Ye Qingfeng, and said earnestly like someone who had been through it.

"It's not what you think, Uncle... forget it, thank you for telling me this news."

Ye Qingfeng picked up the two bags and turned to leave, but the boss suddenly called out to him from behind. "Wait a minute, young man!"

"Is there anything else?"

Ye Qingfeng turned around slowly and looked at the boss expressionlessly. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
