Chapter 128

"Do you live near this station?"

Kitakami Yoru asked casually.

"Yes, you don't live far either, right?"

"The pet clinic where I work, you can go over..."

Yukinoshita Yukino continued the conversation in a rare move.

"I live at the next station."

Kitakami Yoru replied.

"How is San-san?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been looking outside the carriage, turned her head back.

Only then did Kitakami Yoru remember that the beautiful girl in front of him was a hardcore cat lover.

Whenever she was alone with him, she would always take the initiative to ask about his San-san.

"You?"

Thus, Kitakami Yoru met Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes, which faintly revealed a hint of expectation, and asked tentatively:

"Do you want to come to my place and see it?"

"I want to."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't seem to hesitate much and nodded.

"Huh?"

Now it was Kitakami Yoru's turn to be surprised.

You're not afraid?

You already trust me?

"I've practiced Aikido."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kitakami Yoru's changing expression and added.

"Even if you practiced Jeet Kune Do or the Kamehameha, the best way to deal with an attack from an adult male is to run for your life, not to resist..."

"Unless you're practicing American Iaido and happen to have a 'pew-pew-pew' in your hand..."

Kitakami Yoru shrugged his shoulders and advised.

There were always girls who thought they weren't afraid of bad guys just because they learned a little bit of amateur martial arts.

Besides, even Tyson would have to weigh his options if he saw an adult male holding a long blade.

"I really can't believe it..."

"Yukinoshita Yukino, famous in school as a cold ice beauty, was actually invited to his apartment where he lives alone by just one sentence!"

"If I told anyone, I'd definitely be seen as a disgusting, fat otaku with delusions."

"Then again, no one would believe that Eriri and I were a couple for a day either..."

Kitakami Yoru followed behind Yukinoshita Yukino, walking up the stairs step by step.

The Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him was actually already unable to resist wanting to pet his fat cat, San-san.

Reaching the second floor, Kitakami Yoru took the key from his pocket and inserted it into the apartment door.

"There are slippers at the entrance; they're all clean, almost no one has worn them, but you don't have to wear them if you don't want to."

Kitakami Yoru opened the door and said to Yukinoshita Yukino, who had a calm expression beside him.

"I understand, you don't need to worry about me, I'm just here to see the cat."

Yukinoshita Yukino was actually hoping Kitakami Yoru would leave for a moment so she could be alone with San-san.

Walking into the entryway, Yukinoshita Yukino looked around Kitakami Yoru's home with curious eyes.

Then, leaning against the wall with one hand, she hooked the back of her shoe with the other and took it off.

Yukinoshita Yukino's pair of straight, beautiful legs wrapped in black over-the-knee socks made Kitakami Yoru instinctively want to take a few more looks.

Her small feet stepped onto the clean, cold floor of the entryway; Yukinoshita Yukino usually didn't wear slippers at home, except in the especially cold winter.

"Meow meow~"

San-san, who had been curled up on the sofa, meowed twice and rushed over upon hearing the movement.

Its movements were very swift; a round, black shadow flashed, and it arrived at Kitakami Yoru's feet.

"Meow meow~ meow~"

San-san, this little fat cat, was hungry and used its paws to gently tug at Kitakami Yoru's pant leg, acting spoiled.

San-san was originally a stray cat suspected of being abandoned by humans, and since it had been cared for by people, it understood humans very well and was quite good at acting spoiled.

"Sit for a moment, I'll go get some fruit and drinks to treat you."

Kitakami Yoru squatted down, gave San-san a good petting, and said to Yukinoshita Yukino behind him without looking back.

"Okay, go ahead."

Yukinoshita Yukino's heart had long since been captured by San-san.

She examined it carefully; Yukinoshita Yukino, who had worked at a pet clinic for a long time, knew the cat she liked.

She had sufficient practical and cognitive experience.

It was clear that San-san was being well-cared for by Kitakami Yoru.

Its fur was beautiful, smooth, and full of vitality.

"Meow?"

San-san only then noticed Yukinoshita Yukino and immediately stared at her with caution.

"Meow meow~"

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled, her eyes filled with Kitakami Yoru's San-san, and she slowly squatted down, extending her palm.

If San-san was willing to come over and rub against her, it meant it had no guard and could be safely touched.

Conversely, there was a possibility of being scratched!

Kitakami Yoru was washing fruit in the kitchen, put it on a plate, and brought out two bottles of juice.

Yukinoshita Yukino was already holding San-san and sitting on the small sofa.

"Kitakami-san, why did you name it San-san? Is it because of this?"

It was clear that Yukinoshita Yukino's cat-petting addiction had been relieved; she smiled and held up San-san, pointing to the small name tag on its neck.

Kitakami Yoru had never taken it off.

"Yeah, there's a 'three' on it, so that must be its name, and I also happened to find it on a Wednesday."

Kitakami Yoru explained.

"I actually think the name tag isn't its name, but rather its owner's name."

Yukinoshita Yukino used her finger to pull the small name tag out from the thick fur and glanced at it casually.

This was based on experience.

"Is that so? Actually, it doesn't really matter."

Kitakami Yoru rubbed his head.

"Do you have any cat canned food?"

Yukinoshita Yukino changed the subject and looked up at Kitakami Yoru.

"Yes."

Kitakami Yoru nodded in confusion.

"I want to help it trim its fur; summer is coming, and it will be more comfortable."

Yukinoshita Yukino suggested.

"Ah, no problem, are you using the cat canned food to distract San-san?"

Kitakami Yoru nodded repeatedly and went to the kitchen to get the cat canned food.

"Meow meow?"

San-san rolled over on Yukinoshita Yukino's lap, its large amber eyes turning curiously.

In the kitchen, Kitakami Yoru took out the can and opened it directly!

"Click!"

San-san was startled, turned its head, and stared toward the kitchen with wide eyes.

"Hehehe, you're quite the glutton..."

Yukinoshita Yukino chuckled from the bottom of her heart.
